Chapter 255 Going Deeper (05)

According to the woodcutter's inference, this is the place where the corpses are finally disposed of, but the strange thing is why these corpses are just wax flowers without decay. This is unreasonable in this kind of place, but what is going on with these bones without decay?There seems to be a missing step here, the transition from corpse to bone, which is really weird.

Because the range that the flashlight can illuminate is very limited, they still can't figure out how big this place is, at least they haven't found the edge of this place yet, and they immediately started searching here, looking for these corpses while looking for Lin Feng I searched online, hoping to find something usable. There are countless corpses here. I am afraid that they were still alive when they fell, but they failed to escape and were trapped here alive.

"Master, can this place be understood as a sewer?" Si Xuanyi asked the woodcutter.

"Well, almost, they are all places to dispose of garbage." The woodcutter said, "For the owner of the tomb, no one is allowed to enter here after the tomb is closed. The entire tomb is a huge operating system. All the tomb robbers that were cleaned up were sent to this place, and it’s not that no one has come in since it was built, but that all the people who came in are here.”

"There are so many tomb robbers?" Zhao Chenggong felt incredible. There were eight hundred bones here if there were so many tomb robbers who knew about this place, so why keep it secret?
"I thought about this question, but I still can't figure it out for a while." The woodcutter pulled out a long knife from a corpse in the Qing Dynasty. A sealed porcelain bottle with some red balls in it. He sniffed it and found out that it was a few pills. The specific effect was unknown. He threw them away and dug out one from the inside and sealed it with beeswax. The bamboo tube was roasted and then soaked in oil. It was very tough. When I opened it, I found a map of animal skins inside. The woodcutter turned several directions and looked carefully. It seemed to be a topographic map of a mountainous area.

"I thought it was the map of the ancient tomb. It's so tightly wrapped, so it's useless at all." Zhao Chenggong said with some disappointment.

"It's an object after all, keep it for now." The woodcutter stuffed the map into a waterproof bag.

After 10 minutes, they finally found it. The edge of this underground space is full of solid black stone walls. After they continued to search along the stone wall, they found that it seemed to be in the shape of a huge inverted funnel, which became narrower as it went up. It's almost impossible to climb up.

"The water here seems to have slipped away through the deeper places below, and it may lead to other places." Zhao Chenggong said, pointing to a pool where the water level is still falling.

"The water is too deep, how long can you hold your breath?" Li Siming looked around with a flashlight.

Zhao Chenggong was speechless. Just now he didn't think about it that much at all. The situation below is unclear. Even if there is a way, it is impossible to find it so easily. Even if you find it, you may not be able to swim out from below.

"These people should have done what they should do, but in the end they were still trapped here to death. It must not be so easy for us to leave." Si Xuanyi looked at the wax corpse with a mouth that had grown up on the ground, "We have to hurry up Think of a way, I'm afraid this flashlight won't last long."

This is the biggest problem they face. Light is the only thing they can rely on to maintain their mobility. Without light, they can do nothing but wait to die.

The cave was full of all kinds of bones and strange corpses. They searched for a long time and found a lot of things, but they still didn't have the lighting equipment they wanted.

"It is impossible for those people before us to have things like flashlights. They can only face absolute darkness when they are rushed here, so they basically cannot live for too long." Li Siming squatted down to check The body of the tomb robber was the same as they encountered before. This place is very large. I don’t know how many people there are. Only the things on these people may be what they need. This time they not only found two batteries but also Gathered some ammo and a box cannon.

"It's actually a bullet from a Thomson submachine gun, old man, have you ever seen such a well-equipped tomb robber?" Li Siming handed the gun to Zhao Chenggong.

"They are very strange. I didn't find anything on them that should belong to the tomb robbers. Instead, they looked more like an army." The woodcutter watched Li Siming rummaging through the corpse, "Didn't you find it? The things on them are basically It seems that their things are purchased and distributed uniformly."

"Then we're in big trouble. We've lost even our long guns, and we don't have much bullets left." Zhao Chenggong said, checking the box cannon that was just there.

"Our weapons are basically lost, but they may have been rushed to this place, I hope we can find them." Li Siming took some useful things and stood up.

"This place is too big, I'm afraid it's not easy to find it." Si Xuanyi said while scanning the surroundings.

"What the hell is this for?" Li Siming found two more steel drills from that person's bag. Those people seemed to be carrying these things. This is not the first discovery.

"How many people did they come? We saw at least ten corpses along the way. Could it be that dozens of them came?" Zhao Chenggong felt strange.

"Now we can't take care of ourselves, but you are still thinking about them." The woodcutter looked at a puddle, the water level below had reached the bottom, and a black package was exposed. This was his backpack. He went down to pick it up and checked it , most of the things are still there, including his spare batteries. It's a pity to lose this thing, but it may not be useful to keep it.

"At least we have made substantial progress, which proves that all our things are here, but the place is a bit bigger." Si Xuanyi looked at his watch, "Hurry up and search, we haven't found Lin Feng yet."

"I hope he's still alive." Li Siming thought of Guo Zhongxiao.

"He must be alive," said the woodcutter with certainty. "The fellow won't die so easily."

Zhao Chenggong's eyes have been following Li Siming's flashlight to search for valuable things, but he found something different. The moment the flashlight turned, he seemed to see something squatting on the edge of the flashlight and tearing it vigorously. a corpse...
