Chapter 400 Mountain Tunnel
"The secret code only said four words: The dragon is in the cave." Wang Yuanchao said.
"Dragon?" I was stunned for a moment and looked at Wang Yuanchao in confusion: "What dragon?"
Wang Yuanchao sighed and said: "This code is too short. It seems that it was written hastily by the soldier before he died. I don't know what the dragon in his mouth represents? Is it a code name for a military operation, or is it a code name for a military operation?
Is there really a giant dragon hidden in the cave? In short, Aaron lied. He must have hidden secrets when he tricked us into the cave."
I thought about it, and I thought Aaron was very awkward when he spoke, and he looked very Japanese when he bowed. Could it be that he was really Japanese?
Thinking of this, my heart suddenly clicked.
I originally thought that Aaron was just Uncle Ming's cheap nephew, but now it seems that their relationship is not as simple as it seems.
"Isn't Aaron a member of the dark organization?" I thought of a terrifying possibility.
"This is unclear. Only when we find the dragon mentioned in the code can we know his true identity." Wang Yuanchao replied.
"Do you want to tell the fourth girl and the fat man?"
"It's better not to give it up for now." Wang Yuanchao shook his head and said, "We don't have to worry about the fourth girl at all. On the contrary, it's the fat man with such a rough and rough personality. If he finds out, we don't know how much trouble it will cause."
"Yeah." I nodded. Wang Yuanchao was right. Fatty has always been an uncertain factor on our side. If Fatty really knew about it, he would definitely be alerted.
Moreover, we also need Fatty to continue to be stupid like this to paralyze Aaron.
"By the way, if we find a cave later, I will lure Aaron away and you can look for clues immediately," Wang Yuan said.
"good."
After the discussion, Wang Yuanchao and I followed the footsteps of the large army. Sure enough, as the code said, after we passed through this strange old forest, all we saw were tall, majestic, and endless mountains.
mountain peak.
Those peaks were all bare, with a diagonal line drawn from north to south, like an ugly scar. It was already getting late, so we had to put searchlights on our heads, each of us with a wolf-eye flashlight, and put on leather boots.
Start searching around the mountain in batches.
Searching aimlessly at the foot of the dark mountain is a task that tests your patience. Just when we were covered in countless itchy red dots from mosquitoes and were almost worn out, James
Shi Shi and Aaron finally discovered a dark cave.
I looked inside with a flashlight and found that there was no end to the cave. Listening carefully, there seemed to be a sound of wind rushing out, like the whining and choking sounds of ghosts.
"What's going on? This doesn't seem to be a cave!" I said.
"The cave is ventilated." Uncle Ming pondered for a moment: "It's more like a train tunnel running through the middle of Lishan Mountain."
"But I've never heard of a train connecting Lishan?" I asked, dumbfounded.
Although Lishan Mountain was a sacred place of worship in ancient times, it was abandoned after liberation. This place has no front, no village, no land, only rocks, trees and wild animals. Who would spend such huge financial and material resources to hollow out the entire Lishan Mountain?
Digging a tunnel to connect a train? Isn't this funny?
Uncle Ming shook his head and said he didn't know.
I touched the stone wall at the edge of the cave entrance and found that the stone wall was smooth and flat, obviously polished, and there seemed to be a lot of gravel piled around the cave entrance. It seemed like what Uncle Ming said, it was probably
A large artificial tunnel.
"Look, there are railroad tracks on the ground!" Wang Yuanchao pointed at the two rusty train tracks in the tunnel that led to the dark depths.
"Railway?" Fatty's little eyes widened: "If there are railroad tracks, maybe this place is really the location of an ancient tomb. Fatty has encountered it before, and some tomb robbers used the guise of digging holes to mine.
Avoid the sight of the police and conduct grave robbing secretly."
Although I have read similar records of tomb robbing in my grandfather's notes, I never believe that someone would dig such a huge tunnel for the tomb of Qin Shihuang.
Judging from the amount of this project, it is not a small amount. It will cost at least hundreds of millions, recruit thousands of migrant workers and large machinery, and work for five or ten years. I don’t believe that such a large project is not broadcast on the news.
.
So I reminded Fatty not to get too carried away, we still don't know what is hidden in this hole.
The fat man was still dreaming about the Spring and Autumn Period, thinking that gold, silver and jewels were right in front of him. Unexpectedly, I poured cold water on him. He looked at Uncle Ming and Aaron depressedly. Unexpectedly, Aaron ignored the fat man and took the lead in beating him.
With a flashlight, he carefully walked along the railway track into the cave entrance. The fat man was afraid that Aaron would take away all the good things, so he quickly followed him.
I was checking the condition of the tunnel, but unexpectedly Fatty had already followed me in, and I said: "Fatty, what are you doing?"
"Nonsense, there is no use for a large group of people hiding at the entrance of the cave. If there is a tomb in here, wouldn't you know if you go in and take a look? Grandma, it is already very embarrassing to be kidnapped to rob the tomb. If someone robs you first,
After taking away valuable things, Fatty is too embarrassed to even mention the nickname of the golden prince..."
Seeing everyone walking in one after another, Wang Yuanchao and I had no choice but to turn on the pistol safety and follow the crowd vigilantly.
It was unusually quiet in the tunnel. Countless strange rocks were densely hanging upside down above our heads. Those strange rocks were in various shapes, some looked like knives inserted upside down, some looked like unsheathed swords, and some looked like devil's claws. The wet water vapor flowed down the tunnel.
As the stones fell, apart from the sound of our empty footsteps, there was only the weird sound of dripping water in the entire tunnel...
Tick tock, tick tock.
I feel like this is a sewer, and we are the rats walking in the sewer.
Not long after entering the cave, we saw many shocking things one after another, including water pumps, generators, and old-fashioned mine carts parked on the rails. These mine carts were painted blue.
The paint is covered with thick dust and looks like it has been abandoned for a long time. Perhaps due to its age, the wheels of the mine cart have become oxidized and rotted. Except for the rails on the ground, which are still usable, almost everything else has become useless.
Got scrap.
Since there were no living creatures in the cave so far, we tried to walk a little further.
But the fat man soon exclaimed: "Strange, why does this tunnel seem to be getting wider and wider?"
James seemed to have the same feeling as Fatty: "Yes, when we first came in, the tunnel was only big enough for two trains to travel together. Now the tunnel is big enough for six cars to run side by side. It has indeed been widened a lot. It looks like here
It’s more like a military base.”
"Military base?" I asked in confusion.
