Chapter 139
As the alligator gar in the water quieted down again, everyone's faces showed a look of bewilderment. The funniest thing was that the team members who had just been awakened by the alligator gar pulling the chain were asking each other what happened something happened.

"Mr. Chen, do you feel that the alligator gar in the water just now behaved as if it was eating?" Seeing that the mist had dissipated, Xiao Na took off her gas mask and whispered in Chen Ziyang's ear. side asked.

"Eating? Are you saying that this gigantic monster survives by absorbing the red mist and grows so big? This is a bit unbelievable." Although Chen Ziyang refused to admit it, he also felt that Xiao Na's This kind of conjecture is not unreasonable, but I don't know how often these red mist come, and what substances are contained in it.I have never heard of any creature that feeds on gas.

However, there are many wonders in the world, and they have never heard of any fish that can grow to such a large size before. Perhaps it is the unique effect of the red mist that created this giant in front of them.

Chen Ziyang continued in Xiao Na's ear: "I just smelled a bloody smell in this red gas, but I always feel this bloody smell is very familiar, do you have this feeling?"

"Oh? The smell of blood?" Xiao Na sniffed her nose and sniffed it carefully. Although the red mist had already dissipated, there was still a trace of residual blood in the air. the taste of.Xiao Na smelled it carefully for a long time, and then said: "There is indeed a smell of blood, but this is the smell of blood, don't they all smell the same? I don't think there is anything special about this smell."

Chen Ziyang knew that there was no point in entangled with this issue now, it was just his feeling, and he couldn't express it clearly, so he discussed with Xiao Na what to do next.

Originally, the team's plan was to go down the ladder on the water tanker into the water, and then find a place where they could go ashore, but after seeing the monster's movements and amazing strength in the water just now, everyone knew that this method might not work up.

If you want to leave the waterwheel in the water without descending into the pool below, then there is only one way, and that is to pass through the air.Xiao Na and Wang Dawei found a team member to discuss, and asked him to measure the distance to the opposite rock wall, and at the same time see if the existing equipment in hand could achieve such an effect.

The team member that Xiao Na and Wang Dawei are looking for is a small man, very thin, according to Chen Ziyang's visual estimation, his weight may not be more than 100 catties.Light weight naturally has the advantage of light weight. If a rope can be launched to the opposite rock wall, and then this team member can climb over and fix the rope on that side, in this way, the people in the team may be one by one. One by one left here.

The very thin player stretched out an arm, raised his thumb for a moment to measure, and then pulled out what looked like a bow and arrow on his back.Chen Ziyang didn't know what this kind of equipment was called, but he had seen this kind of thing in those special agent movies. This kind of bow-like crossbow gun could shoot out a long iron crossbow.

There is an arrow on the tip of this crossbow, and there are several grooves in the arrow, and some steel sheets with barbs are hidden in these grooves. When the crossbow is fired and nailed to the rock wall, Due to the strong squeeze, the mechanism in the arrowhead of this crossbow will be touched, so that these barbed steel pieces can protrude from the arrow, and the crossbow can be firmly fixed in the rock.

The slow platform of the waterwheel was about 50 meters away from the rock wall on the side. After carefully calculating the angle, the team member fired the crossbow at an upward angle.Although the crossbow arrows are fired upwards obliquely, but because the crossbow arrows are relatively heavy and there are long ropes tied behind the crossbow arrows, when the crossbow arrows are shot to about half the distance, they will be rotated by gravity And down.

When the crossbow bolt was firmly embedded in the rock wall, the insertion point of the tip of the crossbow arrow was actually on the same level as the slow platform of the waterwheel.Seeing his archery skills, Chen Ziyang quietly gave him a thumbs up in his heart. This is really a unique skill. Just relying on visual inspection, he can achieve such an effect. Kung fu, it should be no problem to get into the archery final in the Olympics.

The other people quickly straightened the rope, and at the same time pulled it vigorously a few times, and found that the crossbow bolts were fixed relatively firmly. Then everyone fixed the other end of the rope tightly on the slow platform to keep the rope tight. level status.

Then the very thin team member followed the rope and carefully climbed towards the opposite rock wall.He crawled very slowly, but his movements were very neat.Because the geological structure of the opposite rock wall is unknown, no one knows how long the arrowhead of the crossbow pierced on it can last.That's why the team member didn't dare to climb too fast, he was afraid that his strenuous exercise would cause the arrowhead of the crossbow bolt to fall out of the crack in the rock.

When the team member climbed to the middle of the whole rope, his body suddenly sank down, and everyone heard a sound of metal rubbing against rocks from the opposite stone wall.Everyone was startled, with their hearts hanging in their throats, but then the team member on the rope stabilized his body, and when the rope gradually stabilized, the arrowhead of the crossbow bolt did not fall off .

It wasn't until the team member climbed up the opposite rock wall that everyone felt relieved. Afterwards, Xiao Na ordered someone to tie the rope to one end of the waterwheel and untie it, and then slowly moved forward. The other end of the rope was untied from the crossbow and fixed to the belt around his waist.Then he climbed up the rock wall little by little with the help of the kind of buckle specially used for rock climbing that can be embedded in the cracks in the rock.

Because the opposite rock wall is relatively dark, when the team member climbed over, other people could only see the light from the flashlight on his body. Everyone saw that the light moved up slowly under a little shaking, probably After moving up a distance of more than 30 meters, the team member stood on the edge of the cliff, shaking the flashlight in the direction of the waterwheel.It seems that this team member has climbed to the top of the rock wall and has found a foothold.

After tying the two ends of the rope again, the people in the team slowly moved from this rope to the other side of the mountain wall one by one. Because they were worried that the rope could not bear too much weight, the ten people on this side moved to the other side of the mountain wall. Individuals can only climb over there one by one.

The first to pass were Xiao Na and Wang Dawei, and then two more team members passed by.Then came Wang Ming and the civil engineer.Yang Lei was the last one to climb among the four. When he climbed to the middle of the rope, something like what happened to the team member just now happened. Wow screamed, and at the same time rolled his legs around the rope.

"Don't move around. Slowly wait for the rope to stabilize. I told you not to eat so much at ordinary times, so you can't control your mouth." Seeing Yang Lei's violent movements may make the rope fall off completely. , Chen Ziyang hurriedly spoke out to remind him.

After the rope stabilized and Yang Lei finally climbed over, he was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, not wanting to stand up again.At this time, several other talents checked the reason why the rope sank.

It turned out to be the protruding rock that the rope was tied to. Because the rock was relatively soft, when Yang Lei was climbing, a gap opened in the protruding rock, and the rope entered the rock along this gap. The sudden shortening of the distance among the stones allowed the rope to sink.

Seeing that this protruding rock could no longer be used, other people hurriedly searched for a substitute, but the rock wall was relatively flat, and there was no place for them to use it except for this protruding rock. The place where the rope is borrowed, so under Wang Dawei's suggestion, everyone lined up and pulled the rope tight like a tug of war. Only in this way can the other two team members climb over.

The penultimate one came over was Hu Bo. When he came over, he also joined the team. With the strength of one more person, the rope became much tighter.When the last team member climbed to the middle of the rope, all the people heard a huge sound of water splashing suddenly from the pool, and at the same time, everyone saw a black shadow jumping out of the water suddenly, it turned out to be That alligator gar.

When the alligator gar fell into the water again with a plop, everyone saw that the team member was still holding on to the rope firmly, but then Xiao Na yelled, and at the same time subconsciously covered her waist with her hand mouth.At this time, Chen Ziyang and the others saw by the flashlight that although the team member was still firmly grasping the rope, his lower body was gone.

His whole body was completely severed from the waist, and the two legs below the waist were nowhere to be seen. They might have been eaten by that alligator gar. On the waist of this team member, Chen Ziyang also saw Half of the intestines were hanging there.

Then the team member who was caught on his body turned his head and showed everyone an incomprehensible smile. After that, he let go of his hands, and the remaining half of his body fell straight into the dark pool .There was another burst of splashes in the water, and the alligator gar made a 360-degree turn in the water, eating the rest of the team member, and a splotch of blood appeared on the surface of the water.

It may be that this scene was too cruel, Xiao Na almost fainted, but thanks to Wang Dawei's support, she did not lie on the ground, if it was someone else who suffered the accident, Xiao Na might not have such a big reaction, after all she Although she was a woman, she also came out of the hail of bullets, but she saw her comrades die so terribly.Xiao Na still couldn't help being moved.

After calming down, Xiao Na took a deep breath and said to everyone: "Go ahead, our food supply can only last for 4 to 5 days, don't waste time."

After that, the people in the team silently packed up their luggage, lined up, and searched forward.Along the way, Yang Lei felt guilty. If he hadn't made the rope like that, maybe this team member would not have died.

And Chen Ziyang was carefully observing the Bohai underground palace.The scale here is really huge, and it can even be described as an underground world. Although the area here is not small, there are very few man-made traces. Basically, it can be said that the Bohai Underground Palace was built according to such an underground space. .

Doing this not only saves time and effort, labor and materials, but also can make full use of these underground spaces. Except for the rotating passage they encountered at the beginning, which should be used as an anti-theft mechanism, they only walked a few times. The downward spiral staircase when I was young is considered the heaviest man-made trace, and even that section of the staircase may have been built according to the natural cracks in the mountain.

Everyone searched forward along the flat ground. The rocks under their feet felt strange to step on, and they were not so hard.Along the way, Yang Lei picked up a lot of gravel, but he couldn't tell what kind of rock this rock belonged to.What is known so far is that the density of this kind of rock is relatively low, and the texture is not very tight. It is no wonder that the crossbow bolt embedded in the mountain wall before and the rope that was tightened later all sank, all because These rocks are really not very strong.After discovering this, Yang Lei felt less guilty.

Chen Ziyang recalled the red mist that was inhaled by the crocodile gar just now, and kept thinking about what those things were and what their functions were, but since he had no clues, he couldn't figure it out even if he was overthinking it. No clue.

Although the huge mountain under everyone's feet looks very flat, everyone can feel that they are actually walking downhill, but the slope is not that big. As the distance from the waterwheel gets farther and farther away, the surrounding The air is gradually drying up.

In order to ensure that the team members are in a good condition, Xiao Na ordered the team to take a rest in a relatively leeward and relatively dry place. They used alcohol blocks and some unnecessary clothes to make a few Simple giant torch.

With the hot flames of these torches, everyone dried their wet clothes and put on dry clothes again. Chen Ziyang also felt that he was much more energetic. The field of view has also expanded a lot, and all objects within 20 meters are clearly visible, which also speeds up the team's progress.

After the team advanced for several hours, a huge stone wall appeared in front of them, and there was a huge horizontal crack in the mountain on this stone wall.The height of this crack is not very high, only more than one meter, and all people can only bend down to pass through this crack.

The distance in the crack was not very long, about ten meters or so. Just when Chen Ziyang had just passed through the crack, Yang Lei, who had passed by him one step ahead, asked beside him:
"Er Yang, you said earlier that this Bohai underground palace is for hiding treasures, right?"

"Correct!"

"This underground palace was originally intended to be a tomb when it was built, but it was abolished later, right?"

"Yup!"

"That is to say, there should be no coffins or dead people in this underground palace, right?"

"Yeah, what are you asking for?"

"Then you fucking grandma, look at what's in front of you!"
