Chapter 349: 119 Pretend to be a ghost and steal antiquities
Chapter 349 119. Pretend to steal antiques
It's almost dawn in the swamp rainforest, the sky is filled with a dim white light, the white mist in the air is getting thicker, and the depths of the dead rainforest are starting to get noisy, and it will be dawn in a few hours.
Boom boom boom.
The helicopter flies to its destination.
Below is an unremarkable tropical rainforest, with swamp trees about twenty meters high, showing a dark outline under the night, completely blocking the surface.
Click.
The hatch is opened.
The cold sea breeze blew into the helicopter cabin. Next to everyone was a hundred meters in the air, and below was the dense dark rainforest. The white light of the swamp water could be vaguely seen reflecting the tree crowns.
"Check the equipment."
Li Wu stood in front of the hatch.
Everyone in the cabin was on the helicopter, put on their diving equipment again, put all the necessary instruments into their backpacks, and were ready to slide from high altitude to the ground.
There are no landing conditions in this rainforest.
They can only hang down from high altitude with slings.
The helicopter is looking for the area with the best airborne conditions, but there are trees everywhere in this swampy rainforest. No matter where you choose, the results will be very different.
This situation is very dangerous.
They need to be hoisted to the tree crown below, and then use the trees to slide down twenty meters to the surface.
"Let's go down first. After you go down, slowly enter the interior of the ancient building, and then set up the camp first."
Zheng Yun picked up the hook and said to Li Wudao.
"Okay, no problem. I already know the location. You go first, and we can follow you later."
Li Wu nodded and opened the hatch.
Zheng Yun patted Li Wu on the shoulder, looked back at Song Wan and others, and gave some instructions, asking them to ensure their own safety first, and then lead Jidao and Guijiang ahead.
The sling has been thrown out of the hatch.
Thin ropes lead straight into the dark rainforest.
Asking General Ji Daogui to hang the hook on the rope, Zheng Yun stood in front of the hatch and took a deep breath. His thin diving suit was chilled by the cold wind, and his whole body felt a slight shiver.
The air smelled strongly of swamp.
This taste is hard to describe. It has an extremely rich herbal aroma, mixed with some fermentation smell of mud, and combines with a mellow aroma similar to fruit wine.
"Set off."
Zheng Yun reached back and pulled down the diving mask on his head, interlocked it with the diving suit around his neck, and then raised his hand to wave.
Noriichi and Oni behind him will make the same action at the same time. After pulling down their diving masks and putting them on, the four of them are covered by jet-black diving suits made of special materials.
Not a trace of skin exposed.
The whole body was completely black and blended into the night.
The others looked at them, but their outlines could barely be seen, only a few dark shadows could be seen.
Wow.
The black shadow at the edge took a step forward, leaned forward, and fell straight out of the cabin as if it had fallen. When no one could react, it suddenly disappeared from sight.
The two ghost generals jumped directly.
They did not grab the sling with their hands at all, but chose to free fall from the sky and descend as fast as possible.
Zheng Yun Jidao followed closely.
With the help of ropes, the altitude of 100 meters is not very dangerous. They have experienced more dangerous situations before, and even left a deep psychological shadow on Zheng Yun.
It was the time when I stole the dragon egg.
Being chased and bitten by a dragon on a high-altitude iron rope...
Wow.
Four figures landed one after another.
The helicopter's searchlight provided lighting below, and the few people quickly fell into the rain forest and completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Let's go down slowly, don't be in a hurry."
Li Wu looked at the others, especially the young team members who were eager to try. This was not something ordinary people could learn.
……
Zheng Yun and the four of them slowed down at the end of the sling. There were sharp branches everywhere in the rainforest canopy, which might scratch their diving suits. They had to be careful.
Ji Dao spotted a vine, uncovered the hook and jumped down, jumping steadily onto the vine, and then pulled the sling to help Zheng Yun and the ghost general land on the soft vine together.
Then the four of them followed the vines down.
After a short time, it finally landed successfully.
There was a swampy wetland under their feet. A layer of swamp water could just cover their calves, and below was ankle-deep mud. As soon as they entered the swamp ground, several people sank into the mud.
But they won't sink.
They have professional equipment provided by the archaeological team, floating boards similar to swimming rings, which can provide buoyancy on the water surface.
"Master Immortal, are Old Cade and the others really in front of here? There is nothing in this place, and there are no traces of ancient buildings."
Ji Dao asked, looking around.
"Just a few dozen meters ahead."
Zheng Yun leads the way with his handheld device.
The four of them were walking through the depths of the rainforest. After walking for a short time, they saw a very narrow and long empty area in front of them, with only some low plants and no trees.
The width is only five meters.
It's completely invisible from high altitude.
But there is only one reason for this phenomenon. There is an ancient city wall under the silt. The city wall is only ten centimeters below the silt, so there is no growing conditions for trees.
"See the light."
Ji Dao pointed forward.
There is an ancient Ming Dynasty building site protruding out of the swamp in front. It has the same style as the brick walls in the ancient city of Nanze. It has been transformed into large bare stone piers due to the erosion of the swamp.
There is light shining through the stone pillars.
It should be traces of the Royal Expedition.
"No wonder this place has not been discovered by anyone else. No one can find it without searching by kayak." Zheng Yun sighed while looking at the remains of ancient Ming Dynasty buildings.
This is too hidden.
Sometimes I really have to admire the professional quality of the Royal Expedition Team, and they are really hardworking and willing to spend a lot of time searching deep in the swamp.
"Master Immortal, open the Immortal Gate?"
Ji Dao glanced back.
"No need for now, wait until Kedester comes out to pick us up." Zheng Yun shook his head and led Jidao forward.
The four of them walked near the ancient ruins and saw the supplies left by the Royal Expedition on the ground. There were twenty or thirty large kayaks, spliced together in the woods to form a boat array.
There was no one on board.
There are only a lot of living supplies.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the ruins, a figure emerged from the black hole in the brick wall and whispered to Zheng Yun:
"leader."
"What's the situation now?"
Zheng Yun immediately recognized that the man in front of him was Kedester from the West Factory. He should have been waiting here for a long time.
"The Royal Expedition Team was arranging the coffin-opening equipment. I heard the sound of the helicopter. I took the initiative to come up to check the situation. The leader had better let the helicopter leave here quickly."
Kedester took off his diving mask, revealing a familiar handsome old face, and introduced softly:
"I have solved other problems. Leader, you can disguise yourself as an expedition member, blend into the Royal Expedition team, and watch the Royal Expedition open the coffin with your own eyes."
"The Royal Expedition Team is well prepared and will be able to open the coffin soon, but they are afraid that something is wrong in the black coffin."
"Wait a minute, are you in Wei Meng now?" Jidao interjected and asked, staring at Kedester. "I'm not here. The Royal Expedition Team has been exploring in the ghost dream for a long time. The method they finally figured out is to enter part of the ghost dream and leave part outside the dream to provide assistance."
"I am among those who are outside the dream."
"I only had a few ghost dreams from beginning to end."
Kedester shook his head and took out the tablet from his backpack, and continued to report to Zheng Yun: "My ex-wife has a higher level than me. She has all the information on the Royal Expedition's operation."
"Let's talk as we go."
Zheng Yun nodded and let Kedester lead the way.
A few people got into the black hole in the brick wall, and as they walked forward, Kedester reported, briefly describing the entire exploration process of the Royal Expedition.
In fact, the Royal Expedition discovered the ghost ruins at its feet in the No. 3 Ancient City last year, and realized at that time that this must be a key ruins.
Because last year, an ordinary Western expedition team was completely wiped out after entering this site. No one of more than 20 people survived, and only some strange information was transmitted before death.
The location where the deceased died and the information left behind by the deceased were packaged and purchased by the Royal Expedition Team from the family of the deceased, and they were explored during the non-window period last year.
But it was really not suitable for exploration at that time, so they entered the place as soon as this year's window period arrived, and accelerated their speed to explore to the end in one go.
They discovered Qili Guimeng.
But there is still no good way to break the treacherous dream. I can only resist in the treacherous dream and rely on the number of people to explore to the deepest point.
It is also true that the casualties were heavy.
The Royal Expedition has lost more than forty members at this site, especially after finding the deepest underground tomb, more than twenty people died in an instant.
All the problems that Zheng Yun encountered were also encountered by the Royal Expedition Team. However, they did not have Zheng Yun's conditions and it was more difficult to deal with the problems. Dozens of people were injured.
When Cadest joined the team, the Royal Explorers had already been exploring underground for a week. In addition to these few days, the Royal Explorers made very fast progress, and this time the exploration came to an end.
About the sarcophagus.
Most people in the Royal Expedition agreed to open the coffin. Their main disagreement was whether to take the sarcophagus out of the swampy rainforest and find another place to open it.
After reporting it to the Explorers Foundation, the foundation held another vote and finally decided to open it on site.
Because the Royal Expedition also discovered that the structure in the tomb may be a special support structure, and taking the sarcophagus away may cause the death of the living creatures in the coffin.
Since it can't be taken away.
Then you can only open it in place.
Moreover, during the process of opening the coffin, the support system in the tomb must not be damaged. The sarcophagus must be carefully cared for to ensure that the living creatures in the coffin can survive until the coffin is opened. First, check its type.
with the level of modern technology.
As long as they confirm the type of living creature in the coffin, they can use other methods to support it to ensure its survival.
Unless the living creature in the coffin is not a mammal or an oviparous animal, but an unknown special creature.
The possibility is relatively low.
Based on the on-site observation, the Royal Expedition team initially determined that the living creature in the coffin was a non-marine creature that needed oxygen, drinking water, and nutrients.
This concept is very general.
But that's all for now.
The Royal Expedition carried a large number of weapons, and they did not believe that the living creatures in the coffin could really destroy them.
The explorers below are all senior people, many of whom are retired special forces, and are sure to ensure safety.
When I heard this.
Zheng Yun and Jidao looked at each other.
Compared with the careful care of the sarcophagus by the Royal Expedition Team, their Supervisor has already hung the sarcophagus in the No. 2 Ancient City on the cliff like a sausage.
If the living things in the coffin are really fragile.
Then it may have been blown to death by the wind.
When they were introduced here, Kedester had already led Zheng Yun and others along the narrow ancient city wall and went deep into the ruins.
This site is very large.
The city wall is more than a kilometer long, and the Royal Expedition is at the deepest point, requiring a long detour to reach it.
But it is not flooded.
The Royal Expedition team used pumps to pump out all the swamp water in the ruins, and even repaired the leaking areas with high-tech materials to ensure that the ruins would not be flooded.
Shortly after.
Everyone arrives at the Royal Expedition camp.
The camp is located in an underground corridor, with more than a hundred fixed tents and can accommodate 200 people. It is like an underground village, with streets, shops and hospitals planned.
There are now a total of ninety-two people in the Royal Expedition, and there are more than thirty wounded. Most of the people who can move are at the deepest point at the moment, leaving almost no one in the camp.
Kedester bypassed the camp.
He chose another path and took Zheng Yun and others deeper down, all the way to the underground tomb.
This part of the journey is the same as No. 2 Ancient Town.
There were well-preserved wooden coffins everywhere. They followed a deep pit and went down to the underground palace with the help of a rope ladder, and then directly saw the tomb chamber and the high platform black coffin at their feet.
The venue was brightly lit.
There are no blind spots.
The expedition team penetrated the underground palace and tomb chambers. Standing at the edge of the underground palace, you can see many people busy below.
The war had just ended.
The blood stains of the tentacles were everywhere, and the bodies of the explorers were lying aside. Many people were in shock and resting in various places in the underground palace. No one paid attention to other things.
The logistics team has just come in.
There are scientific and technical personnel who set up scientific and technological equipment for monitoring, there are explorers who assemble the equipment, there are biological experts who dissect the tentacles and study them, and there are also the logistics who set up the coffin-opening facilities.
There is a camera pointed at the sarcophagus, and there are multiple video images on the monitoring screen nearby. It is like a press conference for some big discovery, which is going to be held in the deepest part of the site.
The place was in chaos.
With the help of the certificates distributed by Kedester, Zheng Yun and others easily passed the checkpoint and entered the underground palace.
It's really easy to have undercover agents. They blended into the expedition effortlessly and no one paid any attention to them.
"Find a place to open a fairy gate."
Zheng Yun asked Ji Dao to make some preparations.
They are not here to watch the ceremony, but to grab things. The sarcophagus is not bad, mainly the fairy tower below.
The Royal Expedition is going to hold a press conference, and no one knows how many prominent Western dignitaries are watching in the video conference, and how many senior professionals are waiting.
For the West, the discovery of living creatures suspected of extraterrestrial civilization is also an earth-shattering event. Although the scene was a bit chaotic, the situation on the other end of the video was different.
Most people are not qualified to watch the live broadcast.
Those who are qualified to watch are senior figures.
It is very difficult to openly take away the sarcophagus and the fairy tower in front of so many people, and it will not work without being ruthless.
First, cut off the power supply, and then use Qili Meng to attack them and control everyone on the scene.
Finally, move the fairy tower quickly.
In order to avoid the subsequent impact and avoid involving the archaeological team, the relationship between the East and the West has deteriorated, causing turmoil in international relations, and even expanding into a diplomatic incident.
It's best to leave all this at the moment when the coffin is opened. While the royal expedition team is opening the coffin, you can wait for others to do it.
It's time to show off again.
They must create a situation where the sarcophagus changes and gods and ghosts appear, the gods and ghosts from the ancient East return to the world, and demons and ghosts run rampant, controlling everyone in the place in one fell swoop.
To put it bluntly, it’s going to be haunted.
Throw the pot onto the sarcophagus.
It was the Royal Expedition team that went out to open the coffin and caused a problem that almost killed everyone, not the members of the Gubo archaeological team who openly robbed the cultural relics. Everything had nothing to do with the Gubo.
