Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 336
We tidied up, and the two of us fell asleep on the sofa. We didn't know how long it had been since we were in a daze, and there was a sudden bang in the darkness.I am more vigilant, and it is easy to wake up when I fall asleep, and I have woken up suddenly.In the dark, Zhong Gong was faster than me. I took a closer look and found that he had already restrained a person.

I turned on the light, and when I saw someone coming, I hissed and said, "What are you doing here?"

The person who came was the old man Dou's daughter Linlin.Seeing this, Zhong Gong let go of the hand holding her shoulder.

Linlin pouted, snorted coldly, and said, "This is my house, why can't I come? But you two slept in my house without my permission, and dared to attack me."

I was too lazy to argue with this little girl. I looked at the time on my wrist. It was already 10:30 in the evening, which was almost the same, so I didn’t plan to go back to sleep, and said to Linlin: “I want to live in, and I need to go through your Agree? This is your father's house, not yours. Besides, who was begging for nothing before to give it away? I don't even want this crappy house if you give it to me. "

"You..." She pointed at me, stomped her feet angrily, and sat down on the sofa, but didn't see any movement, and just didn't leave.

Zhong Gong let out a hey, and said, "Little girl, we have business to do tonight, why are you here?"

Linlin glanced at the two of us, rolled her eyes, and said, "I heard everything. My dad said that there is an ancient tomb under our house. I want to play with you." expression.

Zhong Gong was surprised and said: "Playing? Don't you know that the dead body below has changed?"

Linlin said: "Aren't you two professionals? Don't try to scare me. Let me tell you, I'm going down today. If you don't agree, I'll call the police now. Anyway, my brother is fine."

I stared at her proud expression and asked with a smile, "Are you not afraid of me anymore?"

She guessed that she was thinking of things in the mirror world, and hesitated a little, but then snorted and said, "It's up to you, but I can tell you that if you dare to do that, I will destroy your actions, believe me!" If you don’t believe me, turn on the alarm in the room right now? Let’s see how you go down to the ancient tomb. I don’t believe you dare to take that idiot’s life against me. I’ve never been unable to do anything I want to do.” She was proud She looked at me triumphantly, as if she was determined to decide on us.

I smiled and said, "Who are you talking about fool?"

She curled her lips and said, "Who are you talking about? You don't know anything, and you draw with a broken brush all day long. You believe everything others say, just like a mentally handicapped person."

After she finished speaking, I immediately said: "You are right. I guess few people would dare to stop what you want to do. Come if you want, but don't cause us any trouble." Zhong Gong was a little surprised when he heard that, and said: " Brother Chen, this..." I shook my head at him, and taking advantage of Dou Lin's triumph, I sneered and said, "She will pay for her cleverness."

Zhong Gong naturally understood what I meant and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.Then, we ignored Dou Lin, and the two started positioning.

First of all, this house has a basement. Under the basement is the foundation. The combined thickness is about ten meters, and this place was a mountain before. Based on these characteristics, we estimate that the tomb below should be a Han Dynasty tomb. Because the tombs of the Han Dynasty pay attention to deep burial into the slope, but due to the previous blasting of the mountain, the structure of the tombs of the Han Dynasty may have been destroyed.

Zhong Gong lowered the shovel and began to dig a hole. Of course, it is impossible to choose the location of the hole in the room, because the foundation is reinforced concrete, so we chose a small garden behind the villa, and behind it is a lawn with roses. .

Zhong Gong shoveled most of the words with a shovel, and Dou Lin yelled angrily: "If you don't touch my flowers, can't you dig other places?"

Zhong Gong and I didn’t bother to talk to her, we went our separate ways, digging plum blossom holes from different directions, soon, some black cinders were brought out from the exploration shovel, Zhong Gong sniffed it, and said: “We’ve reached the water-absorbing layer, The depth is 16 meters." We drilled more than 50 probe holes in one breath, and outlined the pattern of the entire ancient tomb.This is an A-shaped tomb with only one tomb passage, but judging from the soil layer brought out, the tomb passage should have collapsed, and only two tomb chambers are still good. From the structural point of view, this is not a large tomb, but it is moisture-proof and waterproof. The outer layer is filled with water-absorbing carbon, and the corpse inside should be well maintained. No wonder the corpse will change. It is estimated that the deceased should have had a moderate official position during his lifetime.

The two found the location of the tomb and began to dig a hole. Dou Lin was very excited at first, but when she saw the earthworms and insect eggs dug out of the soil, she jumped up in disgust and went back to sleep. Let's call her when we're done.

In fact, these insects are only in the shallow soil layer, and there will be no such things in the deep soil layer due to the tight soil quality.

The two of us made the old-fashioned round-hole robbery. This kind of robbery is fast. Today’s tomb robbers generally open Chinese-style robbery holes. The entrance is rectangular, which is convenient for bringing out large artifacts. , Naturally, there is no need to open the robbery hole in Guanzhong.

In less than two hours, we dug to the carbon soil layer, carefully cleaned the carbon soil, and broke open the green mud plaster that had been issued, revealing the tomb bricks underneath.Zhong Gong was about to make a move, and I said, "Go and wake up that little beauty."

Zhong Gong said: "That must not scare people to death."

"Who told her to say that my brother is here?"

Zhong Gong showed disapproval, and said, "Don't you often say it yourself?"

"Only I can say, the rest can't."

"..."

After a while, Dou Lin yawned and appeared at the entrance of the robbery cave, with an excited face. I broke the surface tomb bricks, and a fresh breath came. The scale is not large, but it is very tight. It is a fire hole, so be careful not to ignite it.” Generally, the smell of ancient tombs is very unpleasant, but in some tightly sealed tombs, the gas in the tomb interacts for a long time, and it will become a crowd. It smells very fresh, and the gas produced by this smell will catch fire when it encounters an open flame.

My heart moved, and I said, "It's better to just light the fire and burn the contents to death." Zhong Gong was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead and said, "Why didn't I think of this, good idea." , When encountering a fire hole, they will wait until the breath inside is exhausted, how can Zhong Gong and I aim to destroy corpses like me.

Thinking about it this way, we retreated to the top of the robbery cave, took out a piece of paper and lit it, and threw the paper into the robbery cave. Suddenly, a faint blue fire dragon burst out, and the scene was dazzling. As soon as it was collected, it burned down the gas-filled tomb along the entrance of the robbery cave.We lie above the entrance of the robbery cave, and we can only see the square inch of the tomb, which is surrounded by faint blue flames. What is hitting the wall of the tomb, most likely it is the zongzi that has already been dead.

It took more than 20 minutes before the fire inside was extinguished. Dou Lin said dissatisfiedly: "This is the end? I thought it would be as exciting as the movie Indiana Jones." I glanced at her and thought it was a pity. She took it down and asked the zongzi inside to tidy her up, which made me feel bad. Who would have thought that this woman would be lucky to meet a fire hole, and it would be over without going to the ground.

There was no sound in the tomb. For 10 minutes, even the gold should have melted, let alone the two corpses. There was only a faint smell of burnt smell, so we backfilled the soil. up.

After finishing all this work, it was already three o'clock in the morning. I breathed a sigh of relief after solving a major matter on my mind, and then I will wait for news from Boss Ji. As long as I find Lu Su, all mysteries can be solved. solved.

Because it was too late, Zhong Gong and I were covered in dirt, so we didn't leave. We took a shower in the house, changed into the clothes we had prepared, and continued to rest on the sofa, preparing to go to the hospital at dawn The situation of tofu, who knows, almost died.

Zhong Gong and I slept on the sofa. Dou Lin went back to her room and slept until about four o'clock in the morning, that is, more than an hour before we filled the robbery hole. In the dark night, there was a sudden creaking sound, as if someone It's like scratching glass with your fingernails, and it's very uncomfortable to hear.

I was woken up, and when I opened my eyes, through the gauze-like moonlight, I saw a dark shadow standing outside the floor-to-ceiling windows not far away.

At first I thought it was someone coming, but when I looked again, I felt something was wrong. The moonlight is very bright tonight. If it was a person, I should be able to see the clothes clearly, but the people outside were obviously not wearing clothes, and they were all black. Yes, a pair of hands are constantly scratching the glass.

I was startled, and turned on the light. Suddenly, the thing became clearer, and my scalp exploded after just one glance, because there was a burnt black corpse outside, with dirt still on its body, and its black teeth were extremely sharp. Howling at us outside the glass, making a hahaha sound, like a person who has been strangled.

Zhong Gong next to him also woke up, took a deep breath and said, "No, that zongzi is not dead, it just came out of a hole."

It can't be burned to death like this, and it knows how to make a hole, this zongzi is definitely a tough product.I guess it didn't come out before, because it was blocked by tomb bricks and rammed earth layers, and Zhong Gong and I pried open the tomb bricks and dug up the rammed earth, which was equivalent to loosening the soil. But it can't stop this old corpse with holes.

I hurriedly said: "Knife." Zhong Gong reacted, and turned the long knife we ​​prepared for chopping rice dumplings out of the equipment bag.At this time, the zongzi seemed to understand that it was useless to pick the glass, and suddenly bumped forward, with a bang, the glass was completely shattered, and it was broken into countless small pieces like a goddess scattered flowers, and the old zongzi rushed in.As if he knew we were the ones who burned it, he rushed towards Zhong Gong and me without saying a word.

It's not the first time I've faced Zongzi, I'm disgusted, I'm not afraid at all, staring at its rushing movement, the knife in my hand slashed towards its neck.Zongzi's speed is very fast, so the moment it rushed towards me, my knife slashed out, and it happened to hit its neck. I thought that this knife would cut its neck away, but the knife that cut it came suddenly. There was a bang, as if seeing gold and iron.

Zhong Gong seemed to have remembered something, slapped his thigh, and said: "Run, he has swallowed gold." After speaking, he ran out.
