Chapter 145 The choice between life and death(1/2)
When I woke up again, I was in a narrow and cramped place. The air was dirty, damp and rotten. I had a vague feeling of suffocation. Everywhere in my body hurt, especially my arms and knees, as if my bones were broken.
It's normal, and it's heartbreaking pain when you move.
Under the dim light of the flashlight, Zhang Xinya was sitting next to me, bandaging my wounds. She smelled faintly of sweat, and both her hair and face were covered in mud. She looked like a beggar who had been wandering for a long time.
"Are you awake? Don't move. You'll be fine soon."
Zhang Xinya said softly: "It was a bit dangerous. I saw a large amount of earth and rocks and buried you all at once. Xunsi was basically crushed to death. But when Brother Yaozi and Lao Bai dug you out, they found that it was not serious.
It's just a hole in your head, your life is really tough."
My eyes wandered around, and familiar faces came into view.
Brother Yaozi, Lao Bai, Lao Diaoye...
Although they all look miserable, at least no one is missing.
From what Zhang Xinya said, I could tell that I probably hadn't been unconscious for long. I was probably knocked unconscious by the sudden impact. Maybe it was my desire to survive that caused me to wake up very quickly.
The two walls were still closed at this time. I saw a gap of nearly four or five meters in length on the side we smashed. There were bags of earth and rocks everywhere, as if it had experienced a major earthquake.
, very amazing.
I thought to myself, fortunately this tomb is made of sweat soil sandwiched with pebbles, and its lateral compression resistance is very poor. If it were a different structure, we would never be able to cause such a big damage from the side. At least among these people
There have to be two or three explanations.
Soon, Zhang Xinya helped me take care of the wound.
"Please help me take a look too!"
Lao Baitian came up to him shamelessly: "My butt is numb. That Hualinzi seems to be poisonous. I've been poisoned."
Zhang Xinya rolled her eyes at him and ignored him. She probably meant that there were differences between men and women, and she asked him to find some gentlemen to handle this matter.
Lao Bai looked around and finally realized how unpopular he was on weekdays. He found that no one wanted to talk to him, so he went straight to me with a shy face, and he was very particular about it.
Without asking me whether I was happy or not, Mao leaned forward and pointed his butt at my face. He took off his pants and said, "Suck it for me. The Hualinzi is so bright in color and must be very toxic."
, if you don’t care about me, I may not be able to survive tonight.”
Don't tell me, the situation is really serious.
Hua Linzi bit her on the right side, close to her waist. There were two small blood holes left there. The blood that flowed out showed a black-blue color. Half of her buttocks were black and purple, and it was moving towards
It spread to his upper body, and I saw patches appearing on his back, which were no different from corpse patches.
A big hand as dry as a ghost claw slapped Lao Bai's buttocks with a huge force and a very crisp sound. Lao Bai dove forward, chewed a mouth full of mud, and got up angrily, only to find that Lao Diaoye was looking like a
He just smiled ferociously behind him like an old ghost threatening his life, and his vigorous anger immediately died down. He asked in a low voice what he was doing, and his posture looked like that of a little girl who was bullied by a strong man.
"Don't take advantage of the Wei family's little baby."
The old man said unceremoniously: "Hualinzi is indeed poisonous, but it won't kill anyone. At most, half of the body will be numb for a while, so that's okay!"
After hearing this, Lao Bai immediately pulled up his trousers with a smile on his face, and performed the four words shameless vividly. He also gave Lao Diao a very eye-catching look: "I hate it, then you didn't say it earlier."
The old man really couldn't bear it. I saw that the hand holding the gun was shaking. I guess if it was a young man with a vigorous spirit, the spray gun in his hand would have fired long ago.
After resting for a while, I regained my breath. I endured the pain in my body, struggled to sit up, and continued on my way.
"It's too risky."
Brother Yaozi shook his head and said that when I was unconscious, he once tried to go around the wall, but before he could go far, the wall moved again. It seemed that two walls were closed, but in fact, another one opened and closed.
back and forth!
I also fell silent after hearing this.
Is it possible that there is also an eyeliner?
At that time, I had already told Lao Bai to kill Hua Linzi just to prevent this.
After thinking about it, I shook my head: "Hua Linzi is dead. Even if the old fox is really in the tomb, he can't notice our situation now. If you ask me, this is the old fox trying his luck. He will control this after a while.
Once the wall opens and closes, if the blind cat encounters a dead mouse and happens to trap us, it will make a huge profit. This is a business of ensuring harvests during droughts and floods. If you put me in its place, I will do the same."
However, after suffering a loss, I was careful and didn't want to be careless and fall into the trap again. After thinking about it for a while, I said: "If you can't take advantage of it, then use stupid methods to smash it all the way!"
Brother Yaozi's eyes lit up. Ever since I broke the wall, our space for activities has been relatively much larger. The sledgehammer he has been carrying can now be fully used. He immediately took it off and weighed it in his hand.
, swung it round and hit the wall hard, causing a large piece of the wall to collapse in an instant.
"This is much easier than digging into a robbery hole."
Brother Yaozi smiled and got busy again.
The night passed like this. Several of us took turns to attack and completely cut through an entire wall until we reached the door of the tomb.
Probably the old fox had completely resigned himself to his fate and no longer had control over the two walls. He was very calm, but I knew that an even bigger storm was still to come.
Standing in front of the tomb door, I raised my head and looked at the door carefully.
This is a stone gate. It is in the shape of an arch bridge. There is no sign or anything eye-catching. I put my ear against it and patted it with my hands. I couldn't hear the slightest echo. This shows how thick and heavy this stone gate is.
I noticed that on both sides of the stone door, there was some fine dust hanging on the door. It was all stone powder.
If nothing unexpected happens, this should be a floor-to-ceiling stone gate. It should also be controlled by a mechanism. It may use some pulleys. When it needs to be opened, it can be hoisted directly from the inside.
However, the mechanism that controls this door must be in the tomb chamber.
Through this series of techniques, it is not difficult to see that the person who designed this tomb is very proficient in the application of mechanics. These superficial physical knowledge may be nothing to modern people. Just pull out a person who has completed compulsory education.
A junior high school student could speak eloquently, but more than two thousand years ago, this was already remarkable.
Lao Bai came up to me and asked me if there was any way to break it open. I shook my head and told him directly that this kind of tomb door could only be broken with brute force, but Brother Yaozi's sledgehammer couldn't do it. The best way was to blast it directly.
If it doesn't work, then you can only use a crowbar to lift up the gap, insert a jack, and push it up. If it doesn't work, then you can only pry a gap that can be just big enough for a person to get through, and put something solid underneath.
, people climbed directly in.
"Can't it be opened from the outside?"
Lao Bai said nonchalantly: "Is it possible that when Mo Luo Shi came in, he had to knock on the door first?"
I shook my head and pointed to the lower edge of the tomb door.
There were obvious scratches there, which seemed to be the marks left by fingernails on the tomb door.
In other words, the Demonic Corpse lifted the tomb door directly by brute force. Yao Yao also said that this kind of evil corpse is extremely powerful, just like the six-foot-long golden body in the Buddhist legend, and can lift the tomb door.
It is normal to open this door. We would never be able to do it otherwise. This is no longer humanly possible.
At the moment, the only explosive we have is Lao Diaoye's black powder, but the quantity is limited and the power is not enough. At most, it can be used as a fireworks to make the scene lively and prosperous. To blow up such a heavy door, I'm afraid I will need high explosives. As for the jack
, that thing is too heavy, and it is impossible for us to carry it with us. The only way we can take is the third way.
Lao Bai fell silent for a while, and the others also looked gloomy and not pretty.
These people are not fools, and everyone understands how dangerous this thing is.
You know, this time things are inherently special.
The old fox has known for a long time that we are going to the grave, and is probably waiting for us inside. This thing is extremely dangerous. If we go this way, we will be facing a hail of bullets. It is not an exaggeration to say that we have a narrow escape from death.
Now, if we really lift the door of the tomb and crawl in through a small crack in the dark, there will be no room for resistance if something is waiting for us inside.
To put it bluntly, how do you win when Zongzi rides on the face?
After hesitating for a moment, Lao Bai said, "How about we exit first? We're not well prepared this time, so we can't do this job."
"Cannot retreat."
Master Qi suddenly said: "Look at what that fox means, it actually needs time. There are still dozens of living people in the pastoral area falling into its hands. If we do it all over again, that's not right.
Does it mean it? After it finishes its work, will those people still have a way to survive?"
This guy didn’t know what was going on, but his IQ suddenly came online and he got to the point.
"Brother, I don't like to hear what you are saying. I am not afraid of losing my conscience. If you are a dead Taoist friend and not a poor Taoist, what do those dozens of people have to do with me?"
Lao Bai said dissatisfied: "I didn't want to do this in the first place. Now that I'm in this position, I'm not afraid of speaking harshly. Damn it, one of them died halfway through. What's the matter? You still want to push all of our brothers down?"
Go in and die? Brother, do you think this is appropriate?
Let’s not talk about anything else. When we met, what did our brothers do to you? You spent a few days living and eating in the pastoral area, and you didn’t have meat every meal. On the contrary, when you came back, you had to eat, drink, and have sex and you were counted as our brothers.
It's so big. Our Zhenwu Temple is also a Qingshui Yamen. These days, the landlords don't have any food left, let alone the poor and shabby ones like us. The three melons and two dates in our hands were all obtained by having our heads pinned to the belts of our trousers. You
Are you really a big eater?
But have we mentioned money yet?
Please tell me how many things we have done, and I won’t talk about anything else. My brother bled and sweated along the way, because you didn’t get out of the robbery hole in time, and you were almost killed. You didn’t even complain.
Now that we are at a dead end, are you really going to risk our lives?"
Lao Bai was like pouring beans, saying a lot in one breath. This guy has been feeling unhappy for a long time, and now it has completely exploded.
Master Qi blushed when he was told that. He held it in for a long time before waving his hands and saying: "I didn't mean that, I meant... I'll go in first, and I'll carry any thunder. This way you will be safer. I can't let you
Go in and die again, I know you have done enough..."
Lao Bai was spitting foam, and subconsciously wanted to spit again. Finally, he opened his mouth to react, and his eyes widened: "You want to go in first? Grandpa, do you know what you are talking about?"
To be continued...
