Indiana Jones

Chapter 398: Ghostly Vision (01)

Although the bones were found here, it does not mean that they have really entered the real ancient tomb. In fact, they are still wandering in this passage, which only shows that they may be entering the tomb. Of course, all of this is established. On the premise of their inference, whether it is correct or not needs to be further confirmed to know, but generally speaking, they have indeed made some progress. After all, they have left the previous range where they could not get out of it, so there is no need to go around there. Now, no matter whether they finally went in or out, they had made some progress.

They didn't find any lighting tools in these bones. It is likely that these people died in despair in this endless darkness after exhausting everything that could be burned. Thinking about the feeling makes people creepy .

"Whether our deduction is correct or not, at least we have some hope now." Si Xuanyi picked up a knife from the bones. This military long knife is much easier to use than his short knife, especially in this kind of space The narrow place where you may encounter devils at any time is definitely a close combat weapon.

"There are quite a few of these things." Tan Lin poked around the bones, but found nothing that she could use. He still had some disdain for primitive weapons like knives. Who would use them if they had guns?
Zhang Daogua secretly picked up some things from the pile of bones and stuffed them into his bag while no one was paying attention, and then pretended to rummage to see if there was anything he could use.

"Let's go..." Si Xuanyi wrapped a cloth strip around the rotten handle of the knife and said.

Several people passed through the bones and continued to follow Lin Feng to explore. The passage here seemed to be more regular than the previous ones. Both the walls and the ceiling were very flat, and they were all of the same square brick structure as the ones under their feet. , It seems to look exactly the same, closer to the tomb passage in their impression, this is a very suitable place for blasting, but it is really useless to blow up this place, and the explosives on their bodies are not enough.

Lin Feng's speed of walking and stopping was not fast. He told everyone that the situation here seemed to be a bit different from before. The layout was completely different. He failed to find the mechanism several times according to the previous method. After several attempts, he finally Find out that the operating principle of the mechanism here is actually similar to the place they used to be before, but the scope of control seems to be larger, and the frequency of changes is decreasing.

"We seem to be approaching the edge of the agency's control." Lin Feng said, "We will soon know whether we will finally reach the innermost part or the outer part."

"Do you think it should be the innermost or the outermost?" Tan Lin asked.

"I don't know." Lin Feng shook his head bluntly, "I won't make wild guesses without enough clues."

"Where he is, we'll talk about it when we get there." Si Xuanyi really didn't want to bother thinking about it, so he might as well just wait and see the result.

"There are still..." Lin Feng found a few more skeletons that were the same as the ones he saw before, but these scattered ones appeared deeper in the passage, and they probably got separated after running out of things that could be used for lighting. See Looking at the skeletons all over the floor, they seemed to really feel the despair of these people back then, and they seemed to see the finally hopeless themselves slowly rotting here and becoming like this.

"Back then, they certainly didn't expect that they would end up like this." Si Xuanyi shook his head lightly, not knowing whether he was sighing or fearing.

"Compared with them, we are lucky." Lin Feng said.

"I was also trapped, but I didn't die. What luck." Tan Lin felt that what he said was really unpleasant.

"At least we still have lighting equipment that can be used for a long time. Do you think our miner's lamps and flashlights can last longer than the torches they used back then?" Lin Feng signaled everyone to stop, this may be the node of the mechanism change, he While groping on the wall, he continued, "In comparison, we may live much older than those people back then. No matter how smart people were in that era, they could not know that there are more advanced lighting devices than torches. Here we are The longer you hold on, the more chances you have to get out. Even if you go blindly, you can go farther than them. Although those people don't understand the mechanism, they didn't get out of it? It's just that they lost their lighting equipment and were trapped. Just die."

What he said is indeed reasonable. No matter how smart people were in those days, it was impossible for them to think of what they could not think of today. For example, if they had enough explosives to blow up some organs along the way, it would be fine. Bring enough explosives to wantonly destroy the mechanism here. If it was in the era of the great future of the country, unless there was a large-scale army to dig, otherwise one or two people would not even think about entering if they didn't understand the design of the mechanism. He got in by mistake, and basically had no chance of getting out alive.

"Here it is." Lin Feng said to the fisherman after checking repeatedly for a long time, "This may be the first trap we encountered that is different from the previous trap."

The fisherman nodded: "Before we came here roughly according to the expected law. Those ripples do have a certain guiding effect. If this one is also as we judged, it means that we are right."

"Well... I hope our work is not in vain." After speaking, Lin Feng pointed his headlight at the wall and watched carefully, waiting for changes.

The others also all fell silent, waiting patiently for the upcoming results. If they were right, they could be considered to have found a way to get in and out of here, and there is a high possibility of saving their lives. If they were wrong, they would have to start all over again.

It didn't take long for a slight friction sound to reappear, and the wall really changed, the passage was beginning to move to one side, and a huge section slowly appeared in front of them, the lines on it were clearly visible, just as they judged , the texture is slowly changing according to the assumption...

"Now it's just a matter of proving whether we are walking in or out." Si Xuanyi couldn't help but feel confident, and finally he could see some hope.

"Let's see where the next passage takes us." The fisherman seemed less optimistic than he was.

The previous passage slowly disappeared into the wall, and a new passage appeared in front of them bit by bit. The structure of the passage was the same as the previous one. The difference was that there were corpses on the ground again, including little devils. The skeletons were scattered in the passage. In order to prevent the existence of institutions, they did not approach rashly. Lin Feng went to check the situation first and found that the little devils died not from the mechanism but from gunshot wounds. Obviously they were not the first batch Arrived at this place people...

"It's Siming and them?" Si Xuanyi couldn't help being shocked when he saw the M3 submachine gun shells scattered on the ground. He never thought that Li Siming could run faster than them.

"It may be another party I brought with me," said the fisherman. "I got separated from them, and they probably came here by mistake."

It was only then that Si Xuanyi remembered that there were more of his own people trapped here. The fisherman's statement was not unreasonable. If so, it would be considered good news. The more of his own people left, the stronger they would be, and the hope of survival would be greater. bigger.

"All the devil's equipment has been taken away." Lin Feng said, "It should be ours, and the sneak attack was beautiful." But... Lin Feng walked towards another corpse while talking. He was bitten by something, and almost half of his face was not torn off.

"Eating by something?" Si Xuanyi felt that there shouldn't be any wild beasts in this place.

Lin Feng shook his head and said nothing. He was also full of suspicion and couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Didn't you say that it's hard to get out?" Tan Lin was not attracted by the corpse. He still felt that what Lin Feng said before was not so accurate. If this place is so difficult to deal with, why are there so many people breaking into it? out?

Lin Feng glanced at him: "I just said that the possibility of being trapped here and breaking out is very small, but it doesn't mean that it is absolutely impossible to get out. Think about it, how many people came in this time? There are more than 20 of us alone. One, plus nearly a hundred devils, with so many people running around, it doesn’t matter if a few escape occasionally, right?”

"Although this agency has seen that the change is in line with our inference, it still can't judge whether this passage is correct, because we haven't entered the innermost or the outermost." The fisherman said cautiously, "These It doesn't mean anything, what we want to see is the final result, and we have to keep going..."

"Whether it's devils in front of us or our own people, we must be careful to prevent accidental injury." Si Xuanyi was right, the people trapped here all looked nervous and confused, and no one could tell, even if they met their own people It is also inevitable that accidental injury will occur, so it is really necessary to be careful.

After walking forward for about ten minutes, more organs began to appear, and there were more corpses on the ground, including ancient bones, little devils and their own people. The strange thing is that some of the corpses here were also bitten by something. Can't see what it is.

Lin Feng led them through the organs one by one bit by bit. Although there was no danger, they were still worried. Along the way, they saw the bodies of six of their own people, some were killed by the organs and some were killed by the organs. The devils killed, at least the number of deaths they have seen so far has exceeded one-fifth of their total number. Are there still places they haven't seen?Who can guarantee that if things go on like this, they may end up with very little left. I don’t know how the devil’s losses will be. I hope it will be bigger than they expected, but they will go on anyway. This is a road of no return. Way, at least until they get out of here alive.

After walking along the mechanism six times, they finally arrived at a place that was different from all the passages they had seen before. This passage was no longer paved with huge bluestone bricks, but turned into a circular passage. , a circular passage completely dug out of the mountain rocks, extending all the way forward, with torch holders on the wall, other than that, nothing else can be seen.

"No matter where it leads, at least it's not the way we came in." Tan Lin said with a little disappointment.

"No matter where we go, we have already left the mechanism." Lin Feng said, "This is the greatest success."

"It's not a success. At most, it's from one predicament to another." The fisherman also shook his head, "Let's see where this poor place can take us."

"Come on, you can't build organs in this kind of structure." Lin Feng said as he walked to the front, "It smells like blood, it's not far ahead, it's very fresh."

"The biggest feature of this broken place is that you can't avoid seeing dead people everywhere." Zhang Daigua said.

"I think it's pretty good." Tan Lin said, "It's even more troublesome to see people living. There are little ghosts everywhere. You can't work hard when you see people living?"

"Although it doesn't sound good, it makes sense." Si Xuanyi said, "The more devil corpses we see, the better, it means that our pressure will be less and less. Of course, this is just a wish and cannot be counted as a wish." actual."

Surprisingly, what they saw in front of them was not any human body, but a dead wolf, which was shot to death. They found a few bullet casings not far away, and there were some bloodstains , Lin Feng said it was human blood, and deduced that it might have been injured after being attacked by wolves, and then those little devils beat the wolf to death.

"Can this place also have this thing?" Zhang Daogua felt a little baffled.

"Could it be possible that there is another place to get in?" The fisherman also frowned.

"If there are other ways to get in, wouldn't we have been tossing around for so long?" Tan Lin said. He felt that the hardships and sacrifices he faced along the way were really worthless.

"Do you remember that a ghost and a wolf ran in before?" Si Xuanyi asked.

"The entrance..." Tan Lin thought about it, "but we didn't find any traces before that wall. There are little devil's engineers everywhere. If the devil and the wolf ran in, they should be found by them." That's right... Could it be that fork in the road before, that fork in the road leading to here?"

"It's possible, but it's also possible that they turned back after taking the fork in the road, and ran in from the road we took." Lin Feng said, "This possibility is still very high. The mobility of wolves is originally stronger than Humans are strong, it runs around here, and it is nothing if it breaks into this place."

"Then why doesn't this wolf run away?" Zhang Duogua asked.

"It's very simple. When the devil behind comes in, it can't get out, it can only run in." Li Feng stood up, "Let's go, a dead wolf is nothing to see."

"The places on the corpses that were bitten by wild beasts may have been done by this beast." Tan Lin said, "It's just that the wolf's appetite has decreased?"

"At least now it can show that there are devils in front of us." Si Xuanyi said, "Everyone, be careful."

"I still have to meet little devils, how can they not be trapped in it?" Zhang Duogua shook his head.

"There are many ghosts in the ancient tomb, but the Japanese invaders are more difficult to deal with." The fisherman said, "We haven't encountered any ghosts, but there are many little devils."

In order to deal with emergencies, Si Xuanyi re-deployed, Lin Feng still walked in front as the vanguard, the fisherman was behind, and the rest only kept a lamp on his head in the middle, minimizing the possibility of his own exposure, Lin Feng's Eyes don’t need too bright lights in the dark, only one light is enough. At the critical moment, if he turns off the light in time, the enemy will lose the target in an instant. This is very important for them, and they cannot be found in the dark Or if you make the enemy invisible to you for the first time, the possibility of life will be multiplied.

This time they walked very carefully, they would not be able to stop and listen to the movement around them if there was a slight disturbance, and then move on until they were sure it was safe. With Lin Feng, they could predict the danger earlier and reduce the risk of being ambushed to the greatest extent. Possibly, so Lin Feng is their biggest reliance.

But they had only been walking for about ten minutes, and another situation appeared in front of them. On one side of the wall, there were seven or eight little devils hanging like lanterns...
