Chapter 46 So Simple

The three of them walked back to the door of the tomb, took off their goggles and oxygen masks and rested for a while.

It has been more than 4 hours since they entered the tomb, and Chen Ziyang and San Shishuai's flashlight batteries were exhausted. They replaced the old batteries with new ones.

This time, the three tomb robbers each brought a flashlight and two batteries, and each battery can be used for about 4 hours.In this case, as long as only two flashlights are turned on at the same time, both the flashlight and the oxygen cylinder can be used for about 12 hours.In other words, if there is no harvest in 12 hours, they need to go out to replenish equipment.

The 4 hours of continuous walking and nervous emotions exhausted the physical strength of the three of them.Especially Yang Lei, he ate two pieces of compressed biscuits and a bag of mustard greens while resting, and drank a bottle of water before he stopped talking.Seeing his way of eating made Chen Ziyang call out in distress, and kept telling Yang Lei to save some food.

Originally, Yang Lei wanted to hand over the five-shot shotgun to Shuai Shanshi, but since he had been a soldier, his marksmanship must be better than his own.Second, I really can't hold it anymore.But after thinking about it, I don't know if Shuai Shishuai is reliable or not. What if he finds out that when Zhentao gets something valuable, he gets rich and kills him and Chen Ziyang with a gun? I can't find a place to cry.What's more, I was lucky enough to shoot Shuai Shishi to death just now. It is inevitable that this kid will not bear a grudge against me, so he gritted his teeth and persisted. It is more reliable to hold it by himself.

The three of them rested for a while and smoked another cigarette. Chen Ziyang looked at his watch and it was already past 12 o'clock in the evening, so he didn't waste any more time and asked the two of them to follow up to verify his guess and reveal the secret of the tomb passage.

The three people still walked in from the passage engraved with "1" and then came to the empty stone room.Seeing that the traces that he had wiped with his gloves were still there, Chen Ziyang was relieved. As expected, he did not have long legs in the tomb passage, so he went back to the entrance of the passage to search.

Sometimes a secret is like a piece of paper, once the paper is pierced, everything becomes clear.Just less than three meters away from the passage where the three of them came in, another passage stood there in darkness, as if a big gaping mouth was mocking the three people in front of them.

Seeing all this, the corners of Yang Lei's mouth twitched in anger, "Grandma, it's really like this. It's just a few steps away, and the three of us are playing around and around a few more times." These two passages seem to be behind Of the two people leaning on their backs, no matter which direction they looked from, they could only see one of them.

Seeing how ingenious and simple this scam was designed, Chen Ziyang was truly convinced.No wonder they went wrong before, coming in from the entrance of the stone room, walking around the stone room before going out, unless someone deliberately waited at the entrance, otherwise 99% of people would go wrong.

Now that Chen Ziyang's idea was verified, the three of them had no time to waste and walked out through the exit passage.After walking out, Chen Ziyang smiled knowingly when he looked back and saw the X mark engraved on the stone wall at the exit.

After changing the X mark to "1 out", Chen Ziyang thought that it would be great if he prepared some light sticks this time. If he used light sticks, he would be able to see the location of the passage from a long distance without looking for it blindly. .While Chen Ziyang was thinking about it, Shuai Sanshi found another passage on the opposite side of exit 1.

The three of them had been researching the exit for a long time before, and they even solved the mystery of the tomb passage, but no one discovered that there was another passage hidden opposite the exit passage.They were not found face to face, which shows the secret of the design of these passages.

Another round of verification, the opposite of the 1-out channel is the 2-out channel. 2. The exit passage is on the right side of the tomb passage, and the position of the entrance passage in the tomb passage is also changed from left to right.The two exit passages are located farther from the entrance passage to the tomb door, so when the three people returned from here to the tomb door, none of them saw the entrance passage, because the entrance passage can only be seen from the direction of the tomb door .

After unlocking the secret of the tomb passage, the remaining problem is to spend time exploring.After the three people quickly searched, the structure of the entire tomb was outlined.

Chen Ziyang called the hole visible from the direction of the tomb door the entrance, and the hole visible from the direction facing the tomb door the exit.On both sides of the tomb passage, there are 4 entrances and 4 exits.They are in pairs, and each pair of entrances and exits is connected to a huge stone chamber.

And in a hidden place at the end of the tomb passage, there is a fifth entrance hidden, but there is no exit.If it weren't for the previous experience, this entrance would be standing in front of the three of them and they wouldn't be able to find it. The hidden one is really seamless.

Looking at the floor plan of the tomb passage that he had drawn in his hand, Chen Ziyang secretly rejoiced that fortunately he hadn't proceeded rashly before, otherwise these passages would disappear and appear for a while, which would definitely confuse the three of them.

In the first stone chamber there is only the wall with murals, and in the second stone chamber there is only the five-faced statue.Chen Ziyang estimated that the function of the first two stone chambers was to prevent the secrets of the tomb passage from being discovered, thereby scaring away the stinky eaters.And the three finally saw something in the last two stone chambers.

There is a huge stone platform in the third stone room, and many iron mechanical things are placed on the stone platform.Each item is like the accessories of a very complicated clock. Most of these mechanical products are large gears with small gears, which looks dazzling, which shows the complexity and precision of these things.

Every artifact here is unique and has different characteristics.There are animals, houses, clocks, and even humanoid artifacts.Judging from the placement of these mechanical products, it seems that this stone room is an exhibition hall, where these mechanical products are being exhibited.

Without exception, these iron mechanical products are covered with dark red rust.Yang Lei casually picked up a gadget, which looked like a mechanical bird. Just as Yang Lei wanted to see if the mechanical bird could fly, the tail of the bird he was holding in his hand suddenly broke Suddenly, the entire body of the mechanical bird fell on the stone platform, just hitting something like a waterwheel model.Following the fall of the mechanical bird, in the blink of an eye, both artworks turned into a pile of rust.

After checking that there were no hidden compartments under the stone platform, Chen Ziyang told Yang Lei and Shan Shishuai not to touch things indiscriminately, so as not to touch the mechanism or damage these artworks.Each of these things is exquisite, and even the thick rust on the surface can't conceal the aura of these products.It's a pity that these things are now seriously decayed, and I'm afraid they can't be repaired anymore. It's better not to destroy them.Chen Ziyang led the two of them out of the stone room.

Everyone came to the fourth stone room.In the fourth stone room, Chen Ziyang finally found the reason why the tomb was damp and the iron objects were rusted.
