The earth shook violently. I thought there was an earthquake and hurriedly shouted for everyone to hide.
"Don't panic," said Team Leader Chen.
Yang Liu, who was originally making a fuss like me, saw that Team Leader Chen was so calm. Her expression immediately changed and she mocked me,"Hmph, damn rat. You're so useless and embarrassing.”
Before I could retort, the stone orbs beside me had all moved away, leaving an empty space in front of me.
Following that, a five-meter circle appeared in the middle of the empty space. It then quickly sank down, instantly stirring up a lot of sand and dust. I choked on it and quickly covered my nose and waved my hands.
After the dust settled, an entrance with a stone staircase appeared in the sunken open space. It was very dark inside.
I said,"It looks like a passage."”
Yang Liu looked like she had nothing to live for. She covered her forehead and said,"D * mn, are you retarded? If this isn't a passageway, tell me what is it?”
Mosquito was more serious." Team Leader Chen," she asked," does this place lead to the final destination?"”
Ever since the passage opened, Team Leader Chen had been in a daze. After hearing Mosquito's words, he nodded as usual and said,"Yes, no one can get there from the surface, including the people who built this city, so they dug an underground tunnel.”
I nodded like Team Leader Chen and said,"Oh, I see. Then what are we waiting for? Let's go.”
With Team Leader Chen's approval, I was the first to step in.
The passage was semi-circular, and the walls and floor were covered with stone slabs, which were tightly sealed. It was big enough for us to bring our camels in.
Team Leader Chen said that we couldn't carry so much equipment by ourselves. Besides, leaving the camels here was equivalent to killing them, so we took them along with us.
After we all entered the passage, the entrance behind us slowly closed. I was puzzled. Could it be that the people here had invented automatic sensor doors thousands of years ago?
As the entrance closed, the only bit of light inside disappeared. I took out a military flashlight and aimed it at the tunnel. I couldn't see the end at all.
However, there was something strange. The wall could reflect light, so we were not affected by the strong light from the flashlight. We could see each other clearly.
I asked,"Team Leader Chen, how long is it inside?" How long do we have to walk?"
"It depends," said Team Leader Chen.
"Depends on the situation? Depends on what?"
Team Leader Chen didn't answer and only said,""Anyway, be careful."
"Oh," I replied. After taking a few steps, I felt my arm tighten and almost fell. The camel behind me stopped for some reason. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't move it.
I frowned and said," It's over. The camels aren't moving anymore. I don't know how dangerous it is inside."”
Yang Liu told her to give it a try. Then, she walked up to the leading camel and gently stroked its neck, saying,"Be good, camel. Don't be afraid..”As he spoke, he pulled the reins from my hand.
Strange, the camel actually obediently took a step forward and followed behind Yang Liu's butt, looking quite elegant.
"What the hell is this world?" Even animals look at faces."
Mosquito comforted me," Alright, let's go. At most, we can apply for a new surgery when we go back."”
"That's a must," I said as I walked."It's best to think of a way to lengthen the leg bones a little more.”
Yang Liu, who was in front of them, said,""It can't be helped. It's all determined by the bones. No matter how much surgery is done, it won't save this person. It's okay to be ugly, but I'm afraid that he'll be shameless if he's ugly.”
I was amused and said,"Hehe, you're already so ugly. What's the use of my face?" I didn't want it more than ten years ago."
"Pah, I'm impressed."
We talked and laughed, teasing each other. After walking for a while, Team Leader Chen waved his flashlight a few times, signaling us to stop. Then, he shone it on something in front of him.
I took a few steps forward and shouted,"F * ck, he just came in and already gave us a show of strength.”
That's right, it was another corpse, crawling.
"Eh? That's not right."
I noticed that this corpse was a little strange. It was flat and seemed to have no hands. I was prepared to give it a try. Thinking that it would be too disrespectful to the dead, I took out the baton at my waist and gently flicked it.
"F * ck, it's empty. Who's so bored? Put a set of clothes here?"
This corpse, no, strictly speaking, was just a set of clothes. There was nothing inside. However, there was clearly a circle of hair on his shoulders that lay flat on the ground. That was why I mistakenly thought that he was a corpse.
I looked up at Team Leader Chen and heard him say,"It is indeed a corpse, but it has been eaten up.”
"Finished?" I suddenly understood and asked,"The Taklamakan Yellow Shell Louse?"”
Team Leader Chen nodded and said,"Yes."”
"Um."
I thought to myself, what kind of creature is this Taklamakan yellow shell louse? It can even eat the bones clean. It's really the best tool to destroy corpses and traces.
Mosquito lowered her head and said,""Team Leader Chen, I once heard a friend say that there is such a legend: In the depths of the desert, the people who died of dehydration had extremely heavy resentment. Their souls would turn into something that was difficult to explain, and they were not afraid of drought. Moreover, it would vent its resentment on any living creature it encountered and devour them completely. He wondered if the Taklamakan Yellow Shell Louse belonged to this kind of thing.”
" I've heard of this legend before," Team Leader Chen said." As far as the current science is concerned, there is no convincing evidence to prove the existence of the soul. Similarly, there was no convincing evidence to refute the existence of the soul. Therefore, for some things that cannot be explained, before we fully understand them, we can only infer infinitely close to the truth.”
Then, Team Leader Chen looked ahead and said,""Time waits for no man. Let's go."
I stepped in front of Mozzie and walked side by side with him as I asked,"Did Yanyan tell you about that legend? If I remember correctly, she used to study archaeology, right?”
Mozzie tilted his head and glared at me. I didn't expect him to have such a reaction. I quickly changed the topic and said,"This, this passageway is not bad."
Yang Liu shushed me from behind. I turned around and saw her beckoning me with her finger, so I slowed down and asked her what was going on.
"Who's Yanyan?" Yang Liu asked softly. Judging from his expression just now, he seemed to be quite afraid.”
"Do you want to know?" I asked with a smile.
Yang Liu stretched her neck and nodded her head frequently. It was very funny. I couldn't help but cover my mouth to stop myself from laughing."This is his secret. You should ask him.”
"Tsk!"
Yang Liu rolled her eyes and stopped talking.
After walking for more than half an hour, nothing bad happened. I secretly rejoiced in my heart, thinking that it was most likely because the group of people in front had already touched all the mechanisms and curses that should have been touched. This saved us a lot of effort.
"Team Leader Chen!"
"What?"
Just now, I was still rejoicing, but now my heart was thumping wildly because the stone slab under my feet suddenly sank.
