Rebirth of the Flying Era

Chapter 693 Black Water

Du Fei thought for a while and said: "Comrade Xiucheng, I very much recognize your professional ability, but I think our thinking needs to change. Let's not consider economic benefits. Where is the most likely entrance?"

Yang Xiucheng was stunned and couldn't react for a while.

As the saying goes, a ruler is longer and an inch is shorter.

Often a person who has special talents in one area will have various deficiencies in other areas.

The same goes for Yang Xiucheng.

Instead, Gong Yong reacted and continued: "Comrade Du Fei, are you saying that the person who built this place is the kind of big dog who doesn't consider the cost at all?"

When Du Fei heard this, he realized that this description was quite appropriate. Prince Qing was really the biggest dog owner.

Yang Xiucheng also understood, but frowned, still disapproving.

He was born in a poor family. If it hadn't been for New China, he would still be herding sheep!

After graduation, I went directly to the army to serve as a soldier. I have never seen the so-called big dog who treats money like dirt.

Gong Yong knew him well and guessed what he was thinking. He immediately glared and said, "Xiucheng!"

Yang Xiucheng only called his name without any unnecessary reprimands or orders. He understood it and curled his lips and said, "If you have to say it like this, then this is the place."

As he spoke, he pointed to the middle of the back room, where the coffin was originally placed.

Du Fei followed his hand and looked over.

There lay a pedestal carved from a single piece of white marble.

Originally, after Zai Zhen died, his coffin would be placed here.

But this place became a large warehouse and was sealed in advance.

Naturally, it is impossible for the loaded coffin to be sent here.

After cleaning out all the silver coins, the white marble base is particularly conspicuous.

Du Fei checked it before, but didn't see any clues.

But since Yang Xiucheng pointed here, it was definitely not without purpose.

Gong Yong scratched his head a little. The previous places were all brick walls, so just use a chisel and hammer.

But such a large piece of white marble is three meters long and one and a half meters wide, with no joints in the middle.

It is estimated to weigh more than ten tons, and it cannot be moved by manpower alone.

Fortunately, Gong Yong was also an old engineer, so he directly asked people to build a wooden frame and put on the jack.

However, what he didn't expect was that even if he broke the wooden pole that was as thick as an adult's calf, the white marble base would not move at all!

Gong Yong was not surprised but happy.

It stands to reason that no matter how heavy the base of this piece of white marble is, it should be able to tilt up a little with a jack.

Now it is motionless, which can only explain one problem.

This base is not placed on the ground, but has a connecting structure underneath!

Du Fei and Yang Xiucheng also noticed it and looked at each other.

Yang Xiucheng didn't care about this kind of slap in the face.

He is a very pure person, right is right and wrong is wrong.

And being able to find the right direction is the most important thing to him.

Yang Xiucheng stepped forward, put his ear against it, took a polished small hammer, and struck it gently.

After a moment, he straightened up again.

Gong Yong hurriedly asked how it was?

Yang Xiucheng said solemnly: "The structure inside seems to be very complicated, and it will take a lot of time to crack it."

As he said that, he turned to look at Du Fei, and then said: "If you are in a hurry, you can use explosives."

Gong Yong also looked at Du Fei and said, "Comrade Du Fei, what do you think?"

Du Fei waved his hand directly without thinking, "Fire the explosives!"

This is not a puzzle game, and he doesn't have time to go to that trouble.

This answer was very suitable for Gong Yong's temper, but Yang Xiucheng was a little disappointed.

He was very interested in this kind of mechanism, and if Du Fei gave him time, he would be happy to give it a try.

pity……

But obeying orders is the bounden duty of soldiers.

Yang Xiucheng quickly adjusted his mentality and began to prepare to shoot the eyes.

Du Fei knew the power of explosives, but he didn't dare to step forward and stayed far away.

I watched Yang Xiucheng making quick calculations in his notebook while instructing the engineers to drill holes in the white marble to place explosives and detonators.

This process took about more than an hour.

Du Fei had never seen anyone else doing this job, but Yang Xiucheng gave him the feeling that at least he looked quite stylish.

After finishing the work, everyone retreated outside and a wire ran out from the long tomb passage.

The detonator was in Gong Yong's hand.

It was not until the final confirmation that everyone was present and there was no countdown, Gong Yong pressed the button directly.

There was no "bang" explosion, but a series of "bang bang bang" muffled sounds.

Immediately afterwards, a cloud of gray smoke poured out from the entrance of the tomb passage.

Immediately, everyone felt the ground beneath their feet shaking slightly.

It's like an earthquake!

It took more than ten seconds for the vibration to stop.

Just now, Du Fei and the others retreated behind a bunker more than ten meters away from the entrance to the tomb.

The sound of the explosion was expected, but the slight earthquake that followed did not bode well.

Du Fei, Gong Yong, and Yang Xiucheng looked at each other, feeling very anxious.

Fortunately, all the silver coins have been transported away before. Even if the explosion just destroyed the place, it would not have any impact on this mission.

I started the fan and blew it at the entrance of the tomb passage for more than ten minutes, finally blowing away the dust inside.

First send a scout with a rope attached to look inside.

After confirming that there was no problem, Du Fei and the others followed in.

Arriving at the back room of the tomb again, the white marble base from before had been blown apart.

It was torn apart and broken into dozens of pieces.

In the middle, a dark hole with a diameter of more than one meter was exposed underneath.

Underneath the gravel is a spiral staircase descending.

Du Fei secretly shouted "Sure enough"!

At the same time, with a thought in his mind, he released Xiao Hong while others were not paying attention.

Because of the blast, the searchlights previously deployed were withdrawn.

This time when I came in, there were only a few bright flashlights, all of which were focused on blasting, not paying any attention to Du Fei.

Xiao Hong was released and immediately ran to the corner, and then brazenly jumped into the hole that was opened.

The sudden appearance of a black shadow startled everyone.

But after seeing it clearly, it was just a mouse, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Only Du Fei secretly activated vision synchronization.

Follow Xiaohong down the spiral staircase.

We reached the bottom in a blink of an eye, but just halfway down, I couldn't help but be stunned.

This secret chamber located under the tomb is smaller than the back chamber above, and its height is uncertain.

Because the bottom of this secret room is completely submerged in water!

Du Fei synchronized his vision and frowned when he saw the black water under the stairs.

At this time, above, the two investigators were ready to go down the stairs.

If Xiaohong doesn't leave quickly, she will be blocked on the stairs.

As the first of the "four pests", it destroys food and spreads diseases.

People at this time absolutely hated rats and had no fear of them at all.

Even if you are a child, if you see a mouse, you don't need to look for a brick, just go up and kick it, and it will be trampled into a mouse cake.

Du Fei didn't want Xiaohong to become a dead soul at the feet of a certain soldier.

Immediately, a thought came to mind and asked Xiao Hong to enter the water first.

Rats can swim, so they are not afraid of drowning.

But Xiaohong seemed to be very repellent to getting into the water, and it didn't seem like she got her hair wet.

But there was nothing he could do, Du Fei gave the order a second time, and Xiaohong had no choice but to obey.

After going down two more steps, we separated a slip of water and swam into the darkness.

The two investigators who came down from above also faced Xiaohong's dilemma.

They didn't expect that the water would completely flood the secret room.

However, the water still flows down from the hot springs above. Even in the twelfth lunar month of winter, it does not freeze, but instead emits the slightest trace of steam.

"Report! There's water down there," one of the investigators shouted.

Gong Yong also saw the light of the water below and ordered: "Try the depth of the water."

"yes!"

The person below responded, took out the folded ruler, straightened it and dipped it into the water.

"One meter two...one meter three...one meter two..." The scout took three places and found that the depths were actually different.

Logically speaking, the floor of the tombs built manually here is paved with bricks and stones, so they should be flat.

The investigator holding the ruler stirred instinctively and discovered that the bottom was not the ground, but something submerged in the water.

Touch it with a ruler and apply a little force. It's not heavy and it can still move!

The two investigators couldn't help but look at each other, both showing solemn expressions.

Although the bottom was covered with dirty ink-like water, the bottom could not be seen at all.

But they vaguely guessed what was going on.

The two retreated to the top and immediately reported to Gong Yong.

At the same time, Du Fei's face didn't look very good. Just now, by synchronizing his vision with Xiao Hong, he saw more things underwater.

When Gong Yong heard this, his face became heavy and he waved his hand: "Turn on the water pump!"

After waiting for about half an hour, more than 20 soldiers from the engineering battalion shouted slogans and walked up the simple mountain road to carry a diesel water pump from a truck at the bottom of the mountain.

The diesel engine vibrates greatly. To prevent resonance, we did not dare to lift the water pump into the tomb.

Outside, a workbench was built using the soil from the previous excavation of the tomb passage.

Put the water pump on top and swing out a black rubber pipe that extends all the way to the bottom of the back room of the tomb.

With a "chunk" sound, the diesel engine started.

After a while, a black stream of water spurted out from the drain port of the water pump.

Just like in the tomb chamber, the black water was still and did not emit any peculiar smell.

Now it was completely stirred up, and a smell instantly spread out from the drain.

Some nearby soldiers were caught off guard, as if they had eaten two kilograms of rotten eggs in one bite, and their stomachs were instantly turned upside down.

Some people reacted quickly and immediately shouted: "No, it's poisonous!"

Fortunately, it was not a closed space. Although the stench was strong, it was dispersed by the strong north wind on the mountain.

But it was not easy to deal with inside the tomb. As the rubber pipe vibrated in the water, a stench spread out, which was really annoying!

Fortunately, Gong Yong was very experienced and took the people out early, leaving only two people wearing gas masks to watch.

At first, Du Fei was a little worried about whether Xiaohong would be poisoned.

Unexpectedly, this thing was not affected at all.

After swimming around in the black water, I quickly found a platform to stay in the corner and shook off the water drops on my body.

Xiaohong's fur is very oily and does not absorb water at all.

Then he swung his paws up and dug a hole into it.

After waiting for another hour, the secret room below was finally drained.

Du Fei, Gong Yong, Yang Xiucheng and the other two company commanders went down the stairs.

When they took a flashlight and shined a light on it, they saw a scene that made everyone feel numb.
