Don't pretend, anchor, I've seen you touch the golden talisman!

The scene was a little awkward for a while, and Lin Yi quickly found an excuse and rushed into the pit.

Wang Qiang, together with several police officers, stuffed six steel crowbars into the gaps in the stone slab to completely jam the stone slab.

"Huh~ What is that thing pulling down here? Is it so strong?"

"You'll know when you go down and take a look." Wang Qiang replied, turning to Lin Yi and asked:
"That's almost it. Who will follow us down?"

"I!"

Wu Jingshan was the first to step forward.

"Who else?"

Old Wei stretched out his hand, turned around and checked the firearm. After making sure it was OK, he put the gun into the holster, closed his shirt and jumped down.

Following closely behind him were technical consultant Xiao Liu, and Jin Pengfei, Lao Wei's right-hand man.

According to Lin Yi's previous arrangement, the number of people in the team should not exceed ten, and now there are exactly eight people.

"A few of us will go down with Consultant Lin and others to take a look at the situation. You guys will guard the scene."

Lao Wei explained the remaining matters to his colleagues.

Jin Pengfei came over to adjust the console for everyone.

After confirming that everything was correct, a lightweight body armor and lightweight helmet were distributed to each person.

Wang Qiang is not unfamiliar with this stuff. Bai Lu also wore it when she went to the battlefield to interview.

This was the first time Qian Sheng came into contact with this thing, and he was still a little curious.

"They are still thoughtful. Why didn't we think of buying something like this and wearing it before?"

As he spoke, he reached out and knocked on the partition of the body armor, and then on the helmet on his head.

Lin Yi took the equipment and thanked Jin Pengfei.

It can be seen from these details that Lao Wei is really a bold and careful person, and this kind of cooperation can eliminate a lot of redundant communication links.

When everything was ready, Lao Wei reminded everyone to check the equipment again. After confirming that it was correct, the eight-person team began to follow the entrance of the cave and throw down a rope ladder from the gap in the fan blades.

Old Wei and Lin Yi argued over and over again, and finally decided that Old Wei would take the lead, with Lin Yi following closely behind.

Wang Qiang and Jin Pengfei broke up the rear.

Among these eight people, the one with the weakest point was Technician Liu.

Looking at his appearance and small body, he is a standard technical geek who can only take two steps to breathe for a long time.

He is an important participant in this operation and a key target of care.

Old Wei was the first to get into the gap between the fan blades and climbed down the rope ladder. Lin Yi was the second to jump on the rope ladder and climbed down.

According to the feedback from Xiao Liu's detection equipment, this wind channel does not lead directly to the main road of the underground palace.

Judging from the partial cross-sectional view presented by the computer, its structure is a bit like the exhaust channel of a high-rise building.

After going straight down, there will be a winding path that gradually climbs, which can ensure that after the lake water pours in, it will not flow back into the main road.

Continue along this passage to find the exit to the main road.

This structure was quite a genius design at the time.

All the water and silt in the vents had been pumped out, but the walls were still wet. The rope ladder kept slipping. Fortunately, the descent was not long.

Lao Wei and Lin Yi landed one after another and turned on their flashlights to observe the terrain behind them.

A circular passage with a diameter of about one meter, and there are traces of manual chiseling on the four walls.

Since the foothold space was limited, they had no time to admire the miraculous craftsmanship of their predecessors, so they had to continue crawling along the passage, advancing in pairs to make room for those who came down behind.

It was still Old Wei who took the lead, with Lin Yi following behind.

Even through two layers of masks along the way, I could still smell the pungent smell of realgar.This winding ventilation duct is about 20 meters long.

As Lin Yi had speculated before, there was a sophisticated geothermal system running underground.

The passage was damp and dark, and the combination of the two was like entering a sauna.

Lao Wei was wearing a helmet, body armor, and winter clothes. After climbing only two steps, his body was completely soaked, sweat dripped down his forehead, and his goggles were completely fogged, making it impossible to see what was ahead.

Lin Yi wasn't much better either.

The clothes underneath were soaked with sweat, and beads of sweat were falling down his hair like beads.

"It's too hot in here! My eyes are dazzled. I need to take a rest."

Old Wei reached out and took off his goggles, leaning against the cave wall to rest.

"They say a good man is not as brave as he once was. I am not bragging to you, Consultant Lin. I am now in my 40s, and I am indeed not as good as you young people in all aspects of physical fitness.

If you asked me to be a few years younger, let alone seven or eight years younger, I would not be out of breath all the way. "

He was indeed a bit too modest.

The space was humid and humid, and the smell of realgar was both irritating to the eyes and harsh to the throat. Goggles and masks couldn't stop it at all.

At nearly half a century old, he climbed more than ten meters in one breath. It can be seen that when he was young, his physical foundation was really good.

What's more, he also had a lot of honors on his body, which had a great impact on his physical fitness.

"To be honest, not many people in the police force can match your physique, right?"

"Old man, I used to get up every morning and train for ten kilometers, and it was unbeatable for decades. Since the last physical examination, it was said that I have water in my knees. My wife said that I will not run anymore, and I will not let me walk anymore. I have to walk instead.

Wait a minute, am I dazzled or something? Consultant Lin, look at the front, is there something blocking it?Not just now. "

Old Wei turned off the headlight, took out a strong flashlight, gave up half of his body, and shone it into the cave.

In the beam of light, there seemed to be a group of red things squirming.

The entire passage is almost filled with it, and the shape looks like a messy ball of wool or red worms in the sewer.

"No, Old Wei, hurry up, get up quickly!"

Lin Yi reached out and pulled up Old Wei, shouting behind him:

"Those at the back, don't go forward. There's a situation ahead. Get back. Go back quickly!"

The space is not big and sound travels quickly.

Wu Jingshan and Bai Lu followed them and stopped immediately after receiving the news from Lin Yi.

"Third brother, Qiang brother, don't go forward. There is an emergency ahead, so retreat quickly."

At this moment, Jin Pengfei and Wang Qiang, who were standing behind, were getting off the rope ladder just now when they heard Bai Lu's voice.

"What's going on ahead?"

"Don't ask any more questions. Snap back the way you came and clear the space!"

Lin Yi shouted loudly behind him.

When a person crawls forward, he can still maintain a certain speed, but if he crawls backwards, the frequency of his hands and feet will be affected. When time is tight, it is too late to turn around, so he can only use his hands and feet to move back.

The red thing seemed to feel their breath, and it also accelerated its speed.

Wang Qiang and Jin Pengfei had already climbed onto the rope ladder, leaving space and position for Qian Sheng and Xiao Liu below.

At this moment, a crowbar stuck on the stone slab suddenly came loose and fell straight through the gap in the fan blades.

Wang Qiang quickly grabbed the crowbar, saving Qian Sheng from being hit in the head.

There were originally six crowbars, but now there are only five left. The force is uneven, and the stone slab above the head begins to loosen slowly. (End of chapter)
