Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 654 Digging

Xiongdanzi and I backed away in fright, but the Youge line was coming straight towards us. When we were only about one meter away, a yellow head suddenly came out of the grass.

It really is a big snake!
Bancun interrupted me and said, "How come there are snakes in the winter, right?"

I glanced at him and said, "Is it blowing? You'll know if you listen to it later?"

In fact, when the incident happened, Xiong Daner and I couldn't react. We also couldn't figure out where the snake came from in the winter. We were pressed by the snake, so we ran away. I jumped into the freezing water.

The water was so cold, I feel shivering thinking about it now.

The snake stopped on the shore, stared at us and spit out letters, but dared not go into the water.I know snakes can swim, but the water is too cold for it to go down into the freezing water.

Xiong Dan'er and I stayed in the water all the time, and almost died of freezing. Fortunately, the snake was impatient, so we evacuated after a short time.Seeing this, Xiong Dan'er and I became stiff all over, and climbed ashore with purple faces. We took off our wet clothes as soon as we landed. In order to keep warm, we two big men hugged each other and rubbed each other. The locals used rain capes to block the cold wind, and we were afraid that we would freeze to death that day.

The two hugged each other to keep warm, wrapped their bodies in rain capes and walked out of the grass with difficulty.It was a long time later that I heard the news that not far from the meadow, there is a depression, a geological fault zone, where the geothermal heat is very strong, no matter how much snow there is, that place will never freeze.

The big snake probably lived in that area, and the temperature didn't reach that level, so it didn't enter hibernation.After the investigators entered that area, they found many animal lairs, all kinds of them, and some human bones. Most of the missing or distressed ones were taken away by wild beasts that did not hibernate. up.

After I finished speaking, everyone was a little apprehensive. It was very difficult for us to walk at the moment. When we stepped down, the meadow could cover our thighs. When people walked during this period, they could only see the upper body, while the lower body was completely hidden in the meadow, so they couldn’t be seen at all. What is the situation.

Now, everyone didn't dare to be careless, and the team that was too relaxed before became vigilant now.The female doctor's name is Han Qing. After listening to it, she seemed very curious. She leaned over to ask me what happened afterward. Isn't it a harm to find a man and a girl like this?

I said, "What do you want to hear later? It's not like this later. This is not a TV series. The protagonist is frightened by a snake, and then he has to get revenge. The reality is much simpler. If you don't have that ability, you will lose everything." eat by yourself."

Han Qingruo nodded and wanted to talk to me. At this moment, Wen Min suddenly gave a snort and said, "There seems to be something." She squinted her eyes and looked at the position of our left hand. what to look for.

I followed her gaze, and saw a dazzling reflection flashing by under the sun. It seemed that there were some porcelain objects beside the water not far away.

In fact, in some rivers or water, it is easy to pick up artifacts or antiques. Most of those things were caused by landslides after heavy rains or geological movements, which exposed the things in the ancient tombs, and some of them rolled down the slope to the river. After a long time, it will be taken to the distance with the river water or sand bed.

Before, Team Liu asked the shepherd boy if he had picked up anything. Most likely, he wanted to see if there were any ancient ruins nearby. Generally, where there are ancient ruins, some ancient relics will be unearthed around.

This unnatural reflection caught Wen Min's attention, and her exclamation immediately attracted everyone's attention.

After Team Liu found out, he immediately said, "Go and have a look." She looked very excited. I don't know why she is so interested in the ancient Shu civilization.

According to Wen Min, Liu Dui's father was an archaeologist who later emigrated overseas.And this team Liu is not a professional archaeologist, but because he is deeply influenced by family culture, he is very keen on various investigations, and he is quite successful, and he has been doing well abroad.

This time, I don’t know why she was so excited to come up with the idea of ​​the ancient Shu kingdom. You must know that the ancient Shu kingdom is a very mysterious civilization. I am afraid that I will suffer a disadvantage if I only rely on the inspection experience abroad.

This thought was only for a moment. Everyone was walking around in the meadow. Since they couldn't see what was going on under their feet, they couldn't help but feel gross. Affected by my story, the rest of the people always felt that there was something hidden in the meadow under their feet, and they all had strange expressions.

The bald man in the hat complained bluntly, saying: "What kind of story did you tell to scare people on purpose? I really don't believe there are snakes in this place. If it dares to come, I stewed it to make snake soup."

Wen Min heard the words: "It doesn't have to be a snake. In fact, the greater significance of this story is that we should not use inertia to think about problems. There are exceptions to everything. Just like Chen Xuan's experience, there are no snakes in winter, but the snake is still there." Come out. This place doesn't seem to be dangerous, but who knows if it's really safe, so ah, everything can't be absolute."

The bald head still gave Gu Damei a lot of face. After all, he was a senior police officer, so he touched his nose and said nothing.

While talking, everyone waded to the side of the water in a few steps, and after a closer look, it turned out that something was buried in the meadow by the water.

The thing was about the size of a palm, a flat object, triangular, with no pattern on the surface, and I don't know what it is.Looking at the material, it doesn't look like porcelain, but silverware, but it's a little dark, like it's aged.Liu Dui directly reached out to grab it, she pulled it up, and suddenly hummed, looking a little puzzled, and said, "The part of this thing buried in the sand seems to be very deep, please help."

From the looks of it, this flat thing is actually just a small part, and it's probably a big thing buried in the sand.Liu Dui turned his body sideways and motioned for some men to come up. Cyclops and I happened to be next to him. Immediately, the editor joined hands, and the two of them pulled the thing out.

The two of us are considered to be very strong. Due to regular exercise, our physical strength is much stronger than that of most sub-healthy men in the city. I pulled it out vigorously a few times, but the thing did not move at all.

The inch-inch head on one side looked at it and said, "Is it so exaggerated? Go away, I'll try." Then, he held the thing with both hands and began to pull it out.Bancuntou is a muscular man, although he has never tried his strength, but seeing his muscles swell up and the veins on his forehead tense when he exerts himself, he knows that the strength is not small.

Cyclops clicked his tongue secretly, and said to me: "No wonder this kid is crazy, so he has such a lot of strength. Hey, this guy is good, he can fight with his partner, and he can do the robbery alone." Cyclops and I were already Sideways to the side, so no one can hear us talking.

I said: "This group of people are all ordinary investigation teams, they are not fighting against each other. What's the use of strength alone, maybe they are the ones whose legs are weak when they see zongzi." The man staggered and almost fell into the water.

Panting heavily, he waved his hands and said, "Oh, no, no... My god, it's buried too deep, I don't know what's underneath, I have to dig."

This aroused the interest of all of us, Team Liu immediately said: "Dig, dig it out, let's see what it is." Everyone immediately copied the guy and started digging with a shovel.As soon as I took the first shovel, I felt a shock in my wrist, and the shovel hit something hard.

It seems that the thing buried in the soil is not only deep, but also very large.

I didn't dare to go any deeper with the shovel, and told everyone to be careful, if it was really some kind of cultural relic, don't let us ruin it.

After digging down for about two meters, the original appearance of this thing was revealed. We looked at it and felt dumbfounded.

Except for the palm-sized flat thing that was exposed outside, the thing underneath is silvery and shiny like new. The most important thing is that the shape looks like a huge bullet.

Missiles, to be precise.

I realized right away that this was not silver.

Previously, we thought it was an antique, so silver came to mind, but now it seems that this is obviously some kind of modern material.

Cyclops circled the thing in surprise, and said, "Hey, what is this? A missile?"

Team Liu said: "It's very similar, but it's different from ordinary missiles. There are no joints on the surface of this thing, and it looks like an airtight container. Looking at the material, it's not like ordinary stainless steel. It should be some kind of military material. I Say, who of you has been a soldier, do you know what this is?"

She looked around, and the people in the team looked at each other, but no one spoke.

At this time, Wen Min frowned tightly, staring at the thing inserted vertically into the sand in front of him, as if thinking of something.I remembered that Wen Min graduated from the police academy and had a family background, so I probably recognized her, so I asked her, "Do you know her?"

Wen Min didn't even give me a look this time, her eyes were still staring at the thing. After a while, she looked away, shook her head and said, "I don't know."

I've seen countless people, and although her expression didn't change much, my experience and feelings immediately made me realize that she was lying.

I looked at the people around me, and thought to myself, could it be that she felt that there were so many people, so it was inconvenient?Does this thing that looks like a missile have any special meaning?She deliberately concealed it now, so I naturally wouldn't ask, so I looked at Team Liu and said that the thing had been dug up, it wasn't an antique, what should I do now?
Team Liu was also very depressed. He stretched out his foot and wanted to kick it, but probably he was jealous of the shape of the missile and worried about what kind of firearm it really was, so he retracted his foot again, angrily saying what else to do. Can't run, don't care, talk about it later.

She motioned for everyone to get back on the road.
