The Mummy: Tomb Raiders Alliance 4

When Laura saw O'Connor leaving alone, she didn't take his words to heart. She went straight forward and greeted Chen Yulou in awkward Chinese: "Hello! Do any of you speak English? I am an archaeologist from the UK, and my name is Laura." As the best female archaeologist in contemporary Britain, Laura knows seven languages. Although she doesn't speak Chinese very well, she can barely communicate with the Chinese.

On the contrary, Chen Yulou was jumped by this Chinese-speaking 'foreign woman'. He immediately reacted and tentatively said in Xiangxi dialect: "Does Miss Laura understand what we are talking about just now?"

Chen Yulou didn't know how much these foreigners understood. Now that he thought about it, he was really careless about talking about his old business in front of these foreigners. Fortunately, the Xiangxi dialect gang was used to being in the Xiangxi dialect among the robbers in the Xiling group. A cunning light flashed in his eyes, so he used it to test Laura.

China is vast, with different pronunciations of ten miles, different customs of a hundred miles, and many dialects. China still dare not say that it can understand them all, let alone Laura is a foreigner, so Laura naturally showed a puzzled expression and said with difficulty: "Can you speak slowly? I don't understand..." Chen Yulou, the old man in the world, would naturally observe his words and feel that Laura's words did not seem to be fake, so he relaxed slightly.

In order to take care of Laura, he slowed down his speech and explained in Mandarin: "Ms. Laura, when Feng Dashuai from Beiyang contacted us, he did not say that foreigners would come to join this archaeological team. Although we are just civil servants hired by Feng Dashuai, we also know that China's treasures cannot be left to the hands of outsiders. Although we are me, we also know that bullying our teachers and destroying our ancestors is a serious crime, so please forgive me. We cannot let you enter the construction site."

Laura vaguely understood half of it and explained vigorously: "We will not steal the cultural relics left by your ancestors. We only have one thing inside, and someone stole the things from our country and put it in it. So we need your help to bring that thing out, otherwise not only us British people, but also the kind people of the world will face a huge disaster..."

Laura explained in Henan Mandarin with difficulty. Halfway through the explanation, O'Connor in the distance turned around and called her, saying that there was an important discovery, so she could only simply end and say: "My companion is calling me, but please believe me, we need to build trust and cooperation. Goodbye!"

After saying this, Laura turned around and left the construction site.

The old man with gray hair came to Chen Yulou's ear and whispered, "What should I do? Young Master. If the British drove Feng Yuxiang's people to block the place, we would have to make wedding dresses for others, and now foreigners are also involved. The tomb of the First Emperor's Mausoleum is unpredictable, and Feng Yuxiang and foreigners are eyeing him... Can we still do this?"

"Feng Yuxiang invited us, and never mentioned that there were foreigners who would participate. It can be seen that they were not kind-hearted. They wanted to use us to crack the mechanism of the First Emperor's Mausoleum and the Feng Shui risk. We also wanted to build a plank road openly to visit Chencang, bypass their sight, first touch the main tomb chamber, and take out a good thing. We unloaded the Lingling heroes, always just for wealth, and do not care about the good and evil..."

Chen Yulou's eyes flashed and hesitated: "The Mausoleum of the First Emperor is large in scale and is close to Xi'an City. How dare we touch the tiger's butt in Mount Li on weekdays? But now with Feng Yuxiang supporting us, we can use artificial means to dig the imperial tomb, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As for foreigners, after getting off the tomb, how can foreigners understand the wonderfulness of Chinese Feng Shui mechanism? At that time, if they want to live, they will die, and if they want to die, they will come to China to support their pot and ask him to run into a big rice dumpling."

"Now let everyone not move first, so as not to alarm the 'Zhilong' below. There are insect eggs underneath. Once all the wind hatch, no one in the radius of dozens of miles will survive!"

"What if the foreigner acts arbitrarily?" the old man said worriedly.

"Let everyone stay away from that group of foreigners. A camp of British people is not easy to deal with! If they don't move, I will frame them once. If they move, they will ask for trouble and ask for more turmeric oil and dry firewood. At that time, we will set up a fire dragon array on the high ground in the east, so we will naturally rest assured. I will go to the Partridge Whistle to discuss it now. Don't move first. Feng Yuxiang urges you to come down, and you will say that you should worship God if you open a grave, and you will not start work if you don't worship!"

Laura returned to the tent where the group was, and heard O'Connor say: "Now the British Empire is in a stalemate. Today's telegram came from news that the plague has swept across all counties in England, and even Ireland has discovered the condition. The dead people have hit Birmingham. The survival of the British Empire is at stake. We do not have time to work according to the normal archaeological process and must make progress as soon as possible."

O'Connor's eyes flashed and he suddenly said, "Now there are three tons of explosives in the camp and the support of the engineer battalion. We can open a passage in the unimportant place of the tomb below, and use the explosives to lift the soil covering the upper layer of the underground palace. In this way, we can dig the entire tomb in just two days!"

Laura was shocked when she heard this and hurriedly opposed it: "It is impossible. This will cause immeasurable damage to the remains below. If the worst case occurs, the underground palace collapses and buried, the time for cleaning the underground palace will be delayed for at least three months, which is too great. We should obtain the support of local explorers and formulate more reasonable plans to act."

After hearing the two of them's tit-for-tat speeches, Indiana Jones hesitated for a moment. He agreed with O'Connor's decision, but what Laura said was also very reasonable. If the explosives failed to open the soil layer and exploded a gap in the underground palace, but instead made the underground palace collapse, the entire operation would be hit hard. Although Jones did not know the saying that Chinese haste would not be understood, he still understood similar principles.

"If we spend a lot of money to buy General Feng and ask him to send a large number of migrant workers to dig this mausoleum at all costs, then the efficiency should be improved to a level that we can accept."

Indiana Jones' meaning is very clear. The so-called "doing everything" is to let the Chinese risk their lives to work, like the Middle East Road and the Western American Railway, let the Chinese do the most dangerous work, use their lives to pave a road to the tomb, not study traps and institutions, but use living people to test and let the Chinese take the risk of demolition.

Mr. Indiana had another sentence: so that they could supervise the Chinese work safely without risking their lives to explore.

O'Connor vetoed the idea without hesitation: "The Chinese are not trustworthy, just like the Indians, they cannot bear this level of responsibility. They will make a mess. In this case, trustworthy British should be allowed to solve the problem..."

Finally, everyone discussed and decided that the two plans should be carried out at the same time. On one hand, O'Connor commanded the British engineers to find out the general form of the underground palace, make a blasting hole and go straight to the side of the tomb, and then detonate in a direction, breaking a relatively large gap. Indiana asked the Chinese civilians to continue digging downwards to obtain more information from the underground palace. If O'Connor succeeds, then the Chinese civilians can first enter the tomb and explore the underground palace. The British army is responsible for inspection and alertness. If O'Connor fails, he can also enter the tomb from the other side of the underground palace.

Just so happened that the underground palace area that was discovered by Luoyang shovel was on the edge of the camp where British soldiers were stationed. They opened a tunnel from behind the camp and could detonate.

O'Connor commanded the engineer company to quickly dig a tunnel that opened the underground palace from the side of the seal, while Laura and Indiana contacted Chen Yulou and continued the excavation work.

The camp of the thieves in the Xiling Mountains had moved to the high ground in the east. In front of the camp gate, there was a fierce quarrel between Partridge Whistle and Chen Yulou. Chen Yulou explained: "We have never heard of foreigners intervening before, and we didn't know that there were foreign troops monitoring it. Besides, we can investigate the dangerous organs here. It is not difficult to kill all the foreigners. Why do you have to do this, Brother Yang?"

Partridge Whistle said solemnly: "We are the Taoist who moves the mountain, only for precious medicine, not for wealth, and not for foreigners to join forces. I am sorry that I cannot visit the Mausoleum of the First Emperor with Brother Chen."

Chen Yulou persuaded, "Pealqiao Whistle, listen to me. It is a foregone conclusion that foreigners force Feng Yuxiang to dig the First Emperor's Mausoleum. Feng Yuxiang is a cunning man and is so cunning that he comes to pave the way for them. After I knew it, I was also very angry, but even if I refuse to use it for Feng Yuxiang, is there no one in his hands? Most of them will force the civilians to open a tomb for him."

"Did Brother Yang know that the danger of hibernating dragon soil have been seen before? If we were not waiting, who could protect the civilian workers excavated here? At that time, the worms attacked, would it be the warlord leader like Feng Yuxiang who died? They are not those innocent people. Moreover, there are countless rare treasures in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. Even the phoenix gall that your tribe members cannot find may not be here. If the British really get the phoenix gall, would you be willing to do so?"

"There are treasures in heaven and earth, and those with virtue live in it. Instead of letting foreigners obtain the relics of the First Emperor, it is better to let us succeed."

As soon as Chen Yulou finished speaking, he heard a loud noise coming from the west.

Everyone's faces changed bitterly, and Chen Yulou even jumped and said, "Grandma Ritz, the foreigner actually used explosives. Do you really think that he lived too long and was so tired of living?" Everyone knew what was buried under their feet. It was thousands of acres of high-density Guworm eggs that corrode when they saw the wind. If the explosion really alarmed these Guworms, it would be more than a billion?

Chen Yulou ran to the high ground, and as he ran, he ordered: "Hurry up and open a ditch along the high ground, pour turmeric oil into it, and set up a fire dragon formation. Otherwise, the insects will be alarmed and hundreds of millions of people will gather together, and a black cloud will fly from the ground, and it will die in an instant if it falls into the ground. These insects like Yin and dislike Yang, and only by using fire as a wall can they block them."

When I ran to the top of the high ground, I saw a halo rising from the explosion, like a colorful circle. In the halo, a huge black hole swallowed the dust flying by the flying dust, as if a vortex suddenly collapsed under the dust.

Chen Yulou is proficient in the method of distinguishing dragons from the mountains. He listens to the wind and thunder. When he hears the echo of the explosion, he can determine how big and deep a tomb is underground. But at this time, the echo of the explosion is long and long, and it seems that there is an extremely vast space that goes straight into Mount Li and almost hollows out Mount Li.

If it were the underground palace of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, it would be terrifying.

Chen Yulou saw the old man running hurriedly, pointing to the colorful light and asking: "Sir, is that the earth energy leaked from the dragon veins?"

The old man who had experienced the tomb of Qin nobles hibernated Longyuan changed his face and pressed Chen Yulou's head down and said, "It's a pig, please!"

Several people hurriedly poured the turret into the already arranged trenches and lit the fire. Except for a passage in the front camp for civilians and workers to go up the mountain to take shelter, there was only one fire wall in the rest of the place, and the fire was three meters high. The camp was arranged by Chen Yulou. The wind blew from the back of the fire wall. It was very safe for them to hide here.
