Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 294 Signal
After solving the eye crisis, everyone looked at each other behind the stone gate, each other's eyes were as red as rabbits, Gui land has always been poisonous, and we also underestimated the level of poison used by the people in the ancient Dai Gui land, and we almost got caught .Tofu shook the empty water bag and muttered, "Damn it, there's no water."

Zhuanji wiped the water off his face and said, "If you don't drink water for a day, you won't die. Hurry up, let's go and come back early after finishing the work." Everyone retracted their thoughts and turned their eyes to the front.Behind this stone gate is a regular tomb passage. This is the first time I have seen such a weird tomb passage. There are no tomb bricks around and on the ground, but natural earth caves and earth walls, and there is no trace of any mechanism operation.In this way, when the tomb robbers are digging mushrooms, they can easily enter the hole. This situation is obviously abnormal in terms of the structure of the tomb and the level of anti-theft.

Obviously, I am not the only one who is puzzled by this strange tomb passage, Zhuanji also murmured that he had never seen it before.

Along the tomb passage without tomb bricks, everyone looked forward, and the lights gathered towards the front of the tomb passage. At such a close distance, we finally saw the fire-like luminous body clearly.It was not a real open flame, but a strange thing. Looking closely, it was an old and dilapidated equipment bag, and there was something in the equipment bag that was shining like a fire.

Tofu said in surprise, "It looks like it was left by the previous group of people. What is shining? Could it be a flashlight? It's been 14 years. Why is the flashlight so powerful?"

Zhuanji looked very excited, he was young and bold, fearless, rubbed his hands together, and said, "You'll know if you look at it." After speaking, he rushed to the front, squatted down in front of the equipment bag, and opened it. took the backpack.At this time, we also gathered around the equipment bag. Looking at it, we immediately found that the equipment bag was covered in blood, tattered, and there were black balls of food and bulging water bags inside.

Our eyes did not stay on these useless things, but immediately fixed on the luminous body. The moment Zhuanji saw the thing, Zhuanji cried out in surprise, looked at the tofu and said, "You boy, I will really call you in the future." Call me a prophet." Because the glowing thing turned out to be a flashlight.

The reason why it is called a section is because it is not a flashlight itself, but an old-fashioned carbine, which obviously has traces of modification, and a small lighting facility is added on the top, and now, it is this small lighting facility on the gun glow.

Staring at the old gun in front of me, I was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but lift the gun up for a closer look.This thing is very old, and there are traces of friction on the gun body. The model is very old. The small modified lighting equipment is also a product more than ten years ago, which can be seen from the small light bulbs gathered inside.

Isn't that right?

Not only me, everyone is confused and looks weird.

Obviously, this equipment bag should be left behind by Grandpa's team, and the bag is stained with blood, so the person who left the equipment bag may have encountered some accident.There are no corpses around here. I guess the equipment bag was lost during the escape.

Could it be that there is some danger around here?
I looked around and looked at the tomb passage I was in. Except for the strange fact that there were no tomb bricks, everything else was normal, even more normal than most tomb passages, and there was no trace of a mechanism. Here, What danger can you encounter?
Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is, why is this light on now?

You know, it has been a full 14 years?

When everyone was dumbfounded, I immediately turned on the battery switch on the top of the lighting equipment. As soon as the thing was turned on, the AA battery inside was exposed. The battery was deformed, bulging, and gave off an unpleasant smell. .The tofu next to me screamed: "The battery is already like this, how did it light up!" Just as the voice fell, I don't know if it was because I opened the battery cover or for some other reason, the light suddenly went out up.

This scene came so suddenly, I subconsciously threw the carbine in my hand, and it happened to land on the tattered, blood-stained equipment bag.With this throw, the rotten battery inside rolled out, and rolled around a few times, exposing the black substance inside.

Miss Gu's expression was a little nervous. She was always observant, but now she felt something unusual, and whispered, "I think this place is not right, this burden... is even more wrong, let's get out of here first." Zhuan Rui clicked Nodding his head, his gaze shifted to the weird gun, and he stepped up to go deep into the tomb, but at this moment, the lighting device, which had run out of batteries, suddenly turned on again.

It was still a dim yellow light, and the thick beam of light on the baby's arm formed a strange contrast with the empty battery compartment behind the beam of light.In an instant, Zhuanji's originally excited face looked as if he had been slapped.

It... how did it light up again?
What is playing tricks?

I just felt the cold air whizzing from my back to my neck, and there seemed to be a strange force around me, which made our movements stop for a while.Just this time, the lighting equipment flickered suddenly, like an eye, or something went wrong.

Of course, in this weird situation, all faults are no longer faults.Gu Wenmin gasped in shock, and said softly: "This gun...it..." For a while, the always quick-thinking beauty Gu couldn't find a suitable word.My heart was pounding, but fortunately, I have experienced a lot of weird things in the past few months, so I am not too flustered right now.Under such circumstances, too much speculation will only disturb people's hearts. Before there is any substantial harm, I decided to ignore this unexplainable phenomenon, so I said to everyone: "Go, let's leave here first. "

Suddenly, the silent Zhong Gong said, "Wait, something is wrong." I had already got up and was about to take everyone away, but what he said made me feel puzzled.

Not right.

Nonsense, ghosts know something is wrong, so you still need to say this?
Zhong Gong looked at our eyes, turned his head and whispered a few words to Zhuan Rui, his voice was a little vague, but I vaguely heard a few words, some kind of signal.Immediately afterwards, Zhuan Rui narrowed his eyes and said to Zhong Gong, "Then what does this mean?"

Zhong Gong pursed his lips slightly, and said in a deep voice, "It's an early warning, and a call for help."

Tofu was confused by the mysterious behavior of these two people, he immediately shouted: "Hey hey hey, we are in a team anyway, you two don't separate groups, don't cover up if you have something to say, what warning?" Zhong Gong glanced at Tofu, but had no intention of answering. He always only listened to Zhuan Rui's orders.

The moment Tofu finished asking this question, the light suddenly stopped again, but it didn't stop for too long. After about ten seconds, it flickered again.After a few minutes of observation, I suddenly discovered that the flickering of the light turned out to be regular in terms of fast and slow rhythms.

Soon, I summed up this rule, which is: BAAAB, that is, the rhythm of one long, three short, and one long.

I suddenly felt that this rhythm made me a little familiar.

At this time, Zhuanrui solved the confusion. The current flickering frequency of the lighting equipment happened to be a set of internationally accepted passwords. This set of passwords was very simple. If expressed by sound, the front and back beeps were long, and the middle three beeps were short.This is a very simple universal distress code, similar to the meaning of SOS.

After listening, Tofu hissed, looked at Zhuan Rui, and said thoughtfully: "As soon as we go forward, it suddenly warns, is it reminding us not to go forward?"

Gu Wenmin frowned slightly, and said: "That's not the point, the point is, who sent this warning signal?" Her words made everyone fall silent, and for a while, only our breathing could be heard in the tomb.The lighting equipment without batteries has set off an early warning signal. At this time, anyone will think about some bad things.

Tofu swallowed his saliva, looked cowardly, shrunk his neck and looked around in fear, leaned against me, and said, "Will there be soft rice dumplings?" Soft rice dumplings?What he said was really subtle, it's not bad that he didn't directly say that there are ghosts.

Zhuan Rui raised his eyebrows, and said, "At least for now, this soft rice dumpling has no intention of harming us." Zhuan Ji nodded, and said, "Yes, otherwise, it's not a warning signal, but a threat signal..." Everyone said Then, his gaze involuntarily turned to the front. The tomb passage was dark, and he didn’t know where it led. Could it be warning us not to go forward?

If there are soft rice dumplings?Who is this zongzi?
I looked around and couldn't see a ghost except us.At this time, Gu Wenmin said softly: "Want to invite incense?" It seems that after spending some time with our bunch of mushroom diggers, Miss Gu has learned to light a lamp to invite incense.A thought popped up in my heart, and I said to myself: So far, we haven't even seen a dead body. It would be a little unreasonable to say that a soft rice dumpling suddenly appeared, Zongzi?There must be a background, right?
