Chapter 69 The Trace Disappears
Holding the plum vase in his hand, Wang Lele observed it carefully.This plum vase was just as she had guessed before, no matter in size or shape, it was exactly the same as the Baishou plum vase that Chen Ziyang sold to her, except that the characters on this plum vase were Baixi characters.

The previous Baishou plum vase has been studied hundreds of times, and it is estimated that this plum vase will not provide any useful clues.When Chen Ziyang got the Baishou plum vase, the plum vase was wrapped in several layers of yellow cloth, so the body of the vase was clean and its appearance was relatively good, but the Baixi plum vase at this time had no covering on it. , the perennial dust fell on it, and the original color of the upper part of the whole plum vase can no longer be seen, only the lower part can vaguely see that the bottle is white.

Wang Lele took out a special box made according to Chen Ziyang's plum vase from his backpack. It was filled with sponges, and a bottle shape was cut out of the sponge. Wang Lele put the plum vase in. It really fits perfectly.Just when Wang Lele was about to put away the plum vase, the box containing the plum vase was snatched away by Camp Commander Jin.

After Lin Xueping's translation, Commander Jin conveyed an order to the scientific expedition team members. This time their task is to assist the Eastern Dynasty in archaeological work. All the discoveries in the cave belong to the North Korean side, and they are not allowed to take them away without permission.

Because this plum vase could not provide any useful clues, Wang Lele did not continue to fight with him, but turned around and continued to search in other stone houses to see if there was anything that could provide clues.

After the search of several stone houses was completed, Wang Lele couldn't help becoming impatient. Why is there no clue about Zhang Tianhao here? The previous scientific expedition team was clearly in danger here, but why there is no trace at all?It was as if the expedition team had never been here.

Apart from a few wooden beds in these stone houses, there are some rotten clothes, bedding, some books that can no longer be read, and some wooden furniture.Except for a few footprints found on the ground, it can be said that there are really no clues here.It seems that if you want to find the clues of the previous scientific expedition team, you can only go deeper into the depths of the cave.

But there were no clues, so it might not be a bad thing. At this moment, another kind of hope sprouted in Wang Lele's heart. Could it be that Zhang Tianhao and the others didn't die, but escaped by another way?But where did they flee to?For more than two years, why didn't they contact me again?
While Wang Lele searched these rooms full of doubts, Chen Ziyang never let down his vigilance.In that video, besides the blood corpse, there should be head spirits, but I don't know why these head spirits haven't appeared until now?Could it be that I read it wrong?Is that just the green light of something else?Chen Ziyang also doubted his own judgment.

But doubts are doubts. Chen Ziyang also noticed that this place is unusual. The traces of the previous scientific expedition team's death have been completely erased, and the only way in has been guarded by soldiers from the Eastern Dynasty. It is impossible for someone to sneak in. Someone came in to erase the traces of these scientific expedition teams. Could it be that someone came from another direction of the cave?Chen Ziyang turned his head and looked deep into the dark cave.

Chen Ziyang had a very strange feeling. Ever since he had just fought with the blood corpse, he always felt that a pair of eyes were staring at him from behind. At first he thought it was the team doctor Yu Gang, but he found that even if Yu Gang didn't look at him Sometimes, he also has this feeling of being watched.

Everyone packed their bags and prepared to go deeper into the cave, but at this moment, there was a rustling sound from the direction they came from.

rustle, rustle, rustle...

This kind of rustling sound is very ethereal, it can be heard in people's ears, resounds in people's heads, and shocks people's hearts.

"Er Yang, what's that sound?" Hearing this creepy rustling sound, Yang Lei couldn't help asking Chen Ziyang.

Chen Ziyang shook his head. It was the first time he heard such a sound. Afterwards, everyone in the stone house also heard this strange sound, so they all walked out and looked in the direction of the sound, but because of the searchlight Because of the relationship, the place where the light of the searchlight cannot reach is even darker, and it is impossible to see what is making this sound.

Battalion Commander Jin ordered a few soldiers on guard at the outermost perimeter to go to the searchlight, and turned the searchlight to the direction where the rustling sound came from.However, under the illumination of the searchlights, there was nothing else at all except for the flat stone walls and the ground.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a sudden change occurred. Starting from the edge where the searchlight could reach, all the black and white stone walls turned white in an instant, and the area covered by white became larger and larger, and the distance from the crowd became larger and larger. It was getting closer, and at the same time, the rustling sound was getting louder and louder, approaching everyone.

Chen Ziyang looked through the gap between the people, and saw the white gradually advancing towards the crowd, and it was almost at the position of the searchlight in an instant.The first thing to be covered in white was the corpse of an Eastern Dynasty soldier who had been lying there before.After the Eastern Dynasty soldier was killed by the blood corpse, the body has been lying there.

In an instant, the whiteness completely covered the soldier's body, forming a white bulge on the flat ground. As the white bulge slowly shriveled, a white bone was exposed inside. In just a short while, All the flesh and blood on the Eastern Dynasty soldier's body was gone.

"No, it's cave army ants! Run!" shouted Qin Liang, the captain of the archaeological team.Qin Liang once encountered this kind of army ants during a scientific expedition in a cave. At that time, more than 5 members of the scientific expedition team were surrounded by ant swarms. In the end, only [-] people including him escaped alive.So Qin Liang knew the power of this termite.It's just that this kind of termites didn't make such a rustling sound the previous time, otherwise Qin Liang would have remembered that this group of termites was causing trouble.

This kind of termite lives in the dark cave all the year round. The adult individual is six to seven centimeters long. The large pincers on the front of the termite's head can even pinch off a human finger. It is very powerful. And the termite's The collective action is much stronger than ordinary ants, and they are very organized, so they are called cave army ants.

But because of the language barrier, Battalion Commander Jin at the front of the team did not understand Qin Liang's warning.After discovering that these things were nothing more than some relatively large termites, the battalion commander ordered two flamethrowers to come forward and use the flamethrower in their hands to spray fire at the ant colony.
