Reincarnation Train Restart [Unlimited]

Chapter 147 Lost in the Desert 04

In addition to the things they brought along the way, Dr. Cao and the others also left a lot of supplies or weapons in their camp.

After discussing with Feng Gu, Shi Shangzuo used some tools to transform it into a flamethrower with a relatively simple shape.

It is said that serious men are the most handsome. Although this saying is clichéd, it still applies.

The temperature in the desert is hot, not to mention the constant immersion in remodeling, so Shi Shangzuo took off his shirt temporarily, leaving only a black vest on, with smooth muscle lines showing charming arcs, shoulders, arms, abdomen...

Sweat trickled down his neck, soaking the collar of his vest.

Wu Xiajiu blinked his eyes, his walking pace gradually slowed down, the tips of his ears turned red, and he always felt that Ah Zuo's appearance made people blush and heartbeat inexplicably.

The materials are limited, and Shi Shangzuo only made three of them, but this is already very good, not everyone has the ability to transform.

The wild python has a panoramic view of everything, and the master of Xindao even found such a companion, "A Zuo"... How could he remember that there is no such code name in the top [-] of the passengers in the total ranking? Could it be the latter?

Or, this "A Zuo" is a fake name.

No one knew what the wild python was thinking at the moment. Feng Gu experimented with a flamethrower, and the high-temperature flames were sprayed out, and the lethality was amazing enough. If he went down the deep hole again, he would be able to withstand danger for a while.

It's a pity that there are too many mole cricket swarms, even if there are flamethrowers, there are only three, which is really not enough.

Shi Shangzuo said: "The flamethrower is not used to deal with the mole cricket swarm. There are still monsters hidden in the ancient Loulan ruins under the deep cave. Using a flamethrower is better than opening a wooden warehouse against the monsters."

Indeed, Xiaowei also mentioned before that the people protecting Dr. Cao opened several wooden warehouses towards the monster hiding in the dark, but to no avail, the person who should be taken away was still taken away.

But the problem now is, if the mole crickets stay in the temple under the deep cave, how will they go down, and when will they have to wait?

Even if they disperse, before they get out of the passage and come back to attack, they still have no choice but to evacuate.

One is that there are too many mole crickets and they can jump, and the other is that the space below is not spacious except for the vermilion hall that goes down, and the passage out of the hall is not spacious, and there is no other way out to escape.

And Dr. Cao and others didn't have these mole crickets before, what's going on now?

Feng Gu had someone hang the machine down, and it was able to transmit the image below to the microcomputer. However, as soon as the machine arrived in the hall, it was instantly covered by dense mole crickets, and the picture was completely black.

The signal was good and bad, and I couldn't see anything at all.

After a while like this, one of the subordinates guarding the deep cave suddenly said that the mole crickets had evacuated the hall.

The subordinates took out the microcomputer, turned the camera around, and the screen showed that the hall was indeed empty, not even a mole cricket was seen, and there was no movement in the dark hall.

Come suddenly, go suddenly.

But even so, Feng Gu did not go down rashly, but waited for a while, and went to the side of the slope of the deep cave to listen carefully for a while.

After confirming that there was no movement or sound below, he organized people to enter the underground ancient Loulan ruins for the second time.

The new rope ladder was lowered, Feng Gu went down first, and A Ye followed closely.

Wu Xiajiu was sandwiched among the passengers, neither ahead nor behind. When he descended to the middle along the rope ladder, Feng Gu and his subordinate A Ye had already reached the ground of the main hall.

But at this moment, the searchlight on Wu Xiajiu's head accidentally scanned the walls of the hall, and suddenly found that there seemed to be some movement on the walls. Those murals seemed to be moving?

Wu Xiajiu squinted his eyes, his body couldn't help but stop, the light of the searchlight shone on a wall, and he looked carefully.

Above him is Tang Yunsi. Seeing that he stopped climbing down, he couldn't help but asked in doubt: "What's wrong?"

Wu Xiajiu: "There seems to be something moving on the wall, no, there is indeed something, it's mole crickets, this group of insects has gone into the wall!"

Wu Xiajiu finally saw clearly what it was moving between the gaps in the wall, the small mole crickets, about the size of a fingernail, the big mole crickets disappeared, but the small ones got into the wall.

Hearing Wu Xiajiu's shout, Feng Gu who was standing below hastily scanned with a flashlight.

He couldn't see clearly from a distance, but when he got closer, his eyes couldn't help but widen. Just like what Wu Xiajiu said, the walls were full of mole crickets, which he hadn't noticed before because the hall was dark.

And these little mole crickets didn't get out until now.

"Quick, come down!" Feng Gu hurriedly said.

But Bitter Gourd shouted: "Climb up again, what if we are surrounded by insects again when we come down? The stone gates of the main hall have been smashed. If we can't evacuate in time, it will be a disaster."

Li Mao was a little moved by what the bitter gourd said.

Ah Ye said at this time: "Don't go up anymore, come down quickly, there are only these little bugs at the moment, we will leave the hall quickly and it will be fine."

The drunkard scolded: "Fuck, hurry up and make a unified decision. If this is not the case, I will feel uncomfortable hanging in mid-air."

Bitter Gourd didn't want to care what the NPC A Ye said, and was about to climb up, but when he raised his head, he suddenly saw a lot of mole crickets falling from the rope ladder on the edge of the hole on the top of the hall.

It turned out that at some point, these mole crickets crawled over, probably because of their small size, the noise was not too loud, plus the noise just now, Kugua didn't hear it at all.

Wu Xiajiu's attention was on the other side of the wall, and his ears were filled with the rustling of mole crickets. It wasn't until the rope ladder shook that he felt something was wrong and raised his head hastily.

At this moment, Bitter Gourd's slightly shifted voice also came: "Quick, quick! Climb down, these mole crickets are biting the rope ladder, and it will break in a while, and we all have to fall down."

His position is a little high from the bottom of the hall, if he falls, it will be as bad as a broken leg.

No wonder the bitter gourd changed his face.

No need for him to remind again and again, the shaking of the rope ladder has increased, and everyone can feel it.

This time, there is no need to argue about climbing up and down, and climb down in unison.

Shi Shangzuo jumped to the ground and picked Wu Xiajiu down. At the last moment, when the rope ladder fell, Bitter Gourd, Li Mao and others happened to also jump to the ground.

With a "click", the rope ladder fell, and the mole crickets fell into a ball on the ground and immediately scattered and crawled away.

"Are you all right?" From above, Xiaowei seemed to have sensed that there was something wrong with the rope ladder. He appeared next to the deep hole at this moment, poked his head slightly and shouted: "I saw the rope ladder was shaking."

"It's okay." Feng Gu shouted back.

Xiaowei was about to return to the camp when he heard the words, but he didn't know if the mole crickets had also penetrated into the roof of the hall. Tiles and bricks.

And the sand covering it began to slide off.

Xiaowei tilted his foot and immediately sank into the flowing sand, his whole body fell towards the deep hole.

At the critical moment, Feng Gu's subordinates on top grabbed Xiaowei's hand, but before they could get out of trouble, the slope surrounding the deep cave collapsed suddenly, and the two screamed in panic.

Except for the half rope ladder left, there was no other point of strength at all, Xiaowei grabbed it hastily, and the other hand grabbed Feng Gu's men.

The other people who stayed on top also reacted at this time, and quickly approached to grab the two of them.

It's a pity that this piece of sand must submerge them. A crack spread from around the deep hole, and the sand quickly fell down as if in a funnel...

After Feng Gu shouted "It's okay", before he had time to react, he saw the roof of this hall falling sand, tiles, etc. as if it was about to collapse.

Wu Xiajiu waited for others to retreat to the surroundings and corners.

The direction they retreated was a wall, but after they walked here quickly, they clearly felt that the touch under their feet was wrong, and the stone slab was shaking.

"What the hell is going on?!" the drunkard scolded.

Nie Su tried to stabilize his body, and said: "There should be a mechanism behind the wall. Those mole crickets got into the wall and touched it..."

Before he finished speaking, the stone slab under Nie Su's feet opened downwards, and he let out a wow, and fell down smoothly. The old Xiao was standing with Nie Su, and before he could dodge in time, he also fell down.

Before the drunkard pounced on him to grab him, the sound of the machine "click" sounded in the wall, and all the stone slabs near this side were shaken open.

Everyone was caught in a dilemma. Going forward, they would either be buried alive by the sand, or they would have to fall along the mechanism in the future, and judging by the way the stone slab was opened, it must have fallen to a different place. What if...

Before Wu Xiajiu had time to think about it, after the stone slab under Wu Xiajiu's feet was also opened, Shi Shangzuo hugged him, and the two fell into it together.

At the same time, more than half of the roof of the hall finally collapsed, and the sand piles toppled over. Xiaowei and some of Feng Gu's subordinates all fell down, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

After a while, the vermilion hall returned to calm, only some remaining mole crickets crawled around in the sand...

There are some slides under the stone slab, Wu Xiajiu only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and then he was hugged by Shi Shangzuo, the two fell into the slide together, and on top of their heads, another person also fell down, listening to the sound It is square seeds.

The three of them did not go down vertically, but turned a few turns in the middle, stopped after about a minute or two, and fell to the ground.

Wu Xiajiu was crushed by the wooden warehouse pinned to his waist, hissed, touched the back of his waist with one hand, and supported Shi Shangzuo's chest with the other and sat up.

After a while, a warm palm pressed against him and rubbed it for him.

Wu Xiajiu's ears turned red.

Fang Zi let out an eh in the other direction. Shi Shangzuo's remodeled flamethrower was a bit heavy, and when it came down, it hit him, knocking him in the stomach.

There are two remaining flamethrowers, one in Feng Gu's hands and the other in Lu Nan's hands.

Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shang stood up on the left and turned their heads to look at the place where they fell. The searchlight above their heads was still working, but fortunately it was not broken, and it just illuminated the surroundings when looking around.

Soon, Fang Zi also patted his butt and stood up, asking, "What kind of place is this? A secret room?"

Where they are at the moment, there are walls on all sides, and a stone door cannot be seen, as if they are locked inside.

And the place where they fell just now was in a monster statue with an open mouth. They fell from the monster's mouth. After they all came out, there was a crackling sound from the monster's mouth, and the passage inside was obviously closed.

"Don't worry, you can definitely go out." Wu Xiajiu said.

He walked to a wall, touched the cold wall, and knocked again, it was solid.

The walls of this stone room are covered with reliefs, and there are two sculptures of monsters in each of the four directions. The place where they fell is one of them. The monster has a wide mouth and sharp teeth on the top and bottom.

Shi Shangzuo walked in front of the monster sculpture they dropped just now, touched the mouth and teeth from the bottom of the body, and had a rough guess in his mind.

He said: "Don't touch these stone sculptures indiscriminately. If we accidentally touch the wrong mechanism, we may be attacked in it. Let's see if there are any clues on the reliefs on the wall."

Wu Xiajiu and Fang Zi nodded upon hearing this.

The three circled around the wall and found some information.

——This is the room where special prisoners are temporarily held. There should be many rooms like this.

The reason why it is called a special prisoner is that as long as the people who are imprisoned here are selected, some are selected from slaves, some are selected from prisoners, and some are selected from among the servants and servants.

How to be chosen?

What I saw for a long time in the relief painting was that everyone was kneeling on a desert. In the distance, the king of Gu Loulan was probably sitting on a gorgeous sedan chair hung with tulle. A corner of the tulle was lifted by the wind. Now is not now, can't tell the difference between men and women.

And he/she points a finger at the kneeling crowd.

Among these people, shuttled a crimson four-legged monster. It looked a bit like a lizard, but on its back was a distorted pattern that looked like a human face.

Wherever the lizard goes, if it sticks out its tongue and licks the face of the kneeling person, that person will be selected. After that, all the selected people will be taken to such a stone room for detention and processing.

The men are locked together, the women are locked together, and they put on uniforms, and the body is imprinted with a pattern - it is a pattern of two fish connected head to tail and hovering in a circle.

When the Pisces pattern is printed, the people locked in the stone room will be taken away in batches.

Although the relief here does not show how to open the stone chamber, since people can be taken out, it means that the stone chamber can be opened.

Seeing this, Wu Xiajiu felt relieved and continued on.

——It seems that the people who were taken away had entered a secret house. The situation of this house was not depicted in the relief, but the door was ajar and there were guards outside.

And the embossed carving made half of the door, the figure of the ancient Loulan King looming.

Obviously, King Guloulan is also in this room.

After that, it seemed that something was going on in this room, and some men and women who did not succeed were dragged away.

The woman's hands and feet were tied tightly, and she was dragged to the desert to be exposed to the sun. Her skin was cracked, blistered, and her eyes were blinded. Until she died, her body was thrown into the quicksand and disappeared.

The man, on the other hand, was wrapped in cloth strips all over his body, and hung in mid-air to dry into a corpse.

"Wow, what a tragedy." Fang Zi smacked his lips and sighed.

Wu Xiajiu frowned: "Indeed, I think the female ghost we met in the desert should be the dead woman in the relief."

Shi Shangzuo: "Women are outside, men are inside, apart from monsters, there are also mummy."

Wu Xiajiu: "I don't know what species that four-legged lizard with a human face is. What does it want to choose these people for?"

"These selected people all entered a room, and the king of Guloulan was also in it, but what happened in the room was not recorded..."

Fang Zi muttered, "It's not a good thing anyway."

"The human face on the lizard's back reminds me of a mermaid. Could there be a special creature here? It can't be a dragon."

Who knows this.

Wu Xiajiu shook his head and said: "Let's find a way out first, this stone room is for detaining people, there is no mechanism for attacking and killing people."

Moreover, there were not so many monster sculptures in the original stone room. Wu Xiajiu counted them, and there were only four in total on the reliefs. Now there are two in each of the four directions, which shows that they were added later.

Then, just look for the mechanism from the monster sculpture that was added later.

Shi Shangzuo went over to fumble around, and after a while, he turned the fangs of a monster sculpture, the sound of the mechanism turning, and a stone door behind them turned out.

There is a way out.

Outside is a pitch-black corridor, Shi Shang Zuo is in front, Wu Xiajiu and Fang Zi are behind.

After walking into it, Fang Zi asked: "Since it is the ruins of the ancient Loulan Kingdom, why is it like this? Shouldn't it be some cities, palaces and the like? Why do I feel like a tomb?"

Wu Xiajiu: "The ancient city of Loulan, the country of the city outline, refers to a country the size of a city. The ancient cities were not as big as ours, especially the place where Loulan is located is so remote and desolate. One can imagine how big Loulan City is. gone."

"I can't think of other places that can afford palaces made of such stone bricks and tiles, except for the royal palace, because officials and ordinary people can't afford it at all. They use sand, clay, red wicker, etc. to build houses."

"If it had been under the desert for a hundred years or a thousand years, it would have been corroded long ago, and only a few of them could remain."

"And such a complete one must be the place where King Loulan lived, or it was built by King Loulan before his death, so it looks like a tomb."

"Then will there be King Loulan's body inside?" Fang Zi opened his green eyes with excitement.

"It's possible." Wu Xiajiu thought for a second, then nodded.

Shi Shangzuo said at this time: "Come and see here."

Wu Xiajiu heard the words and hurried over, followed Shi Shangzuo's fingertips to look at the side of the wall, where there was a mark carved out: "Cao, it's Dr. Cao."

- is a "Cao" font.

Shi Shangzuo: "Dr. Cao walked through this corridor."

Fang Zi turned his head left and right, and said, "Dr. Cao and others also fell into that stone room? Or is there another way in this corridor, but the door is hidden and we didn't find it?"

"It's all possible, but I can be sure that Dr. Cao has paid attention to leaving information under this. According to this mark, it is not difficult to determine the route Dr. Cao passed." Wu Xiajiu said.

This will be of great help to them in finding Dr. Cao.

Shi Shangzuo scratched on the word "Cao" and said: "The right side of the topmost horizontal line protrudes, go forward."

They seem to have fallen into the death row in the ancient Loulan city, right?

After walking into a stone room full of instruments of torture, Wu Xiajiu wondered—where did they slip from that vermilion hall?Why did you just leave the place where people were detained, and now you entered a room where people were tortured.

Blood-stained and pitch-black instruments of torture were hung all over the iron frame or the wall, and some dead bones were embedded in the wall. At a certain distance, they were placed in various torture poses in the specially built wall cracks. The scene was terrifying and horrible.

From these postures, we can get a glimpse of the heavy and terrible ancient criminal law.

And there is more than one room for torture like this, and there is another room through the door.

This time, Wu Xiajiu saw a corpse lying on the ground with a piece of clothing covering its head and upper body.

Obviously, this is for the rest of the deceased, and the deceased was one of Feng Gu's men who protected Dr. Cao into the desert.

Wu Xiajiu squatted down and carefully lifted a corner of his clothes.

——The dead body below is not the same as the dead body they met in the passage before. The whole body of this dead body is red, especially the face, which is disfigured red and swollen. There is a large bulge on the cheek, and it is covered with dark pimples. Erythema, as if poisoned by a toxin.

Then, Wu Xiajiu saw the wooden warehouse wound on the man's temple.

Shi Shangzuo saw it at a glance: "He committed suicide by opening a wooden warehouse."

Wu Xiajiu murmured: "Why...is it because it is too painful?" Is it because of the redness and red spots on his body?Are these toxins?or something else?

Most importantly, how did he come across this?

Unable to figure it out, they had no choice but to leave the room full of torture instruments.

The ancient Loulan ruins under the desert were like a huge labyrinth. They stopped and walked, passing through corridors and rooms... Fortunately, there was a mark left by Dr. Cao as a guide.

Finally, Wu Xiajiu, Shi Shangzuo and Fang Zi walked through a dark corridor again and entered a circular hall burning with lights.

This light is a belt of corpse oil formed around the main hall, from the bottom to the top three times in total, the corpse oil covered the bottom of the brick, and the burning thread should have been ignited by Dr. Cao and others before.

And the light from the flames allowed them to see clearly the situation inside before they even stepped into the hall—mummy corpses hung up one by one and wrapped in cloth strips.

This was the first picture they saw in the relief. The painting was abstract, but the scene in front of them was terrifying.

Some of these hoisted corpses were hung by the waist, with hands and feet hanging down, and some were tied around the neck, with their toes touching the ground. The most important thing is that the gaps between these corpses are too dense. If you want to pass through, you have to be careful. Turn sideways to avoid walking.

What made Wu Xiajiu's heart skip a beat was that he saw several corpses in familiar uniforms on the ground in the middle of the hall. They were obviously the people who protected Dr. Cao and died here.

From a little distance, it is not clear what the cause of death is.

Shi Shangzuo whispered to Fangzi, "Put away the flamethrower."

The bodies of these mummies are still wrapped with rags. If the flamethrower is accidentally opened when they pass through it, the burning flames will easily contaminate their bodies, which will cause trouble.

Fang Zi nodded, making a gesture of reassurance.

Wu Xiajiu took out six talismans, distributed two to each of Shi Shangzuo and Fang Zi, and said, "Walk slowly, or run fast?"

"Walk slowly." Shi Shangzuo took over and said, "Run faster to the place where the corpse died."
