I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

The reply clearly stated: "The 788 Exploration Team is not a rescue team. Guarding the imperial mausoleum and preventing the corpse puppets from causing chaos is the top priority. Please cooperate with the SX Provincial Military District!"

Zhao Qi's reply was very clear. It was clear that he refused the 788 Exploration Team to go to other places for rescue, and in turn asked the Western Shaanxi Provincial Military Region to do its best to cooperate with the actions of the 788 Exploration Team.

At this moment, neither Yu Zhi nor Meng Yuan understood.

In this case, isn’t rescuing each disaster area the top priority?

Why did both the 788 Exploration Team and the Kunlun Mountain Garrison refuse to participate in the operation using such a ridiculous excuse as guarding the imperial tomb?

After reading the telegram, Yu Zhi returned to his office without saying a word.

After all, they are old comrades, and Meng Yuan knows Yu Zhi's temper.

Soon, he also came to the office, looked at Yu Zhi and said: "Old Yu, don't take this matter too seriously. We didn't have much hope for the 788 Exploration Team sent by the Kunlun Mountain Garrison at the beginning. Now it is a happy thing that we can rescue the archaeological team. The rest of the mission will be almost the same without them..."

However, before he could finish his words, Li Xin rushed in again and reported: "Commander, the Kunlun Garrison District sent another telegram."

Yu Zhi hurriedly said, “Bring it here.”

Immediately, after taking the telegram from Li Xin's hand, Yu Zhi looked down, but then he was stunned.

The telegram read: "If all members of Unit 788 are killed, please ask the Xishan Provincial Military District to escort their remains back to the Kunlun Garrison Area! Leave a message to: Zhao Qi!"

After receiving the telegram, Yu Zhi fell into a long silence, and finally sighed and muttered to himself:

"What mission are they carrying out? Why does even Captain Zhao's telegram reveal such a tragic atmosphere!"

As a soldier, he hated to see such scenes the most.

Meng Yuan also sighed and said in a puzzled voice:

"What on earth happened to the Kunlun Mountain Garrison and the 788th Exploration Team?

They could have used a hundred valid reasons to reject our instructions.

But why did they choose such a ridiculous statement of guarding the imperial tomb?

And we all know that soldiers will never joke about the spirit of sacrifice, they are obviously ready to sacrifice..."

What about guarding the imperial mausoleum and stopping the corpse puppets from causing chaos, Yu Zhi didn't understand at all and didn't want to believe it.

But the spirit shown by the exploration team members in the telegram made him feel a little uneasy.

What on earth happened to the 788 Exploration Team that they had to risk their lives and even shoulder the safety of the entire XA City?

Imperial mausoleum, corpse puppet, what message do these words convey?

At this time, Meng Yuan said slowly and thoughtfully:

"Lao Yu, I think this matter may be more complicated than we thought.

We had previously underestimated the 788 Exploration Team, but they created an airborne miracle that had never been seen since the establishment of the Air Force.

And they did successfully rescue all members of the archaeological team in that complicated environment.

The imperial tombs and corpse puppets they mentioned might really point to something unknown to us."

Meng Yuan's words made Yu Zhi stunned for a moment. He looked at Meng Yuan puzzledly and asked:

"Old Meng, do you mean that something might have really happened on Mount Li?"

Meng Yuan nodded gently:

“Yes, no matter what, the 788 Exploration Team is also an army composed of military personnel.

Honor is greater than anything else, and military prestige is inviolable. They would never joke about such things.

Didn’t Professor Zhang and his team say they found an ancient tomb on the mountain? Maybe it’s the imperial tomb they mentioned.”

Yu Zhi thought for a moment, then looked at Li Xin and asked:

"After Professor Zhang and his team came down the mountain, which military hospital were they sent to for examination?"

Li Xin shook his head blankly:

"Commander, although Professor Zhang and his team have gone down the mountain, they did not propose to evacuate. Instead, they immediately joined up with other archaeological teams and seemed to be preparing to return to Mount Li."

This made Yu Zhi even more puzzled, but Professor Zhang and his team were under the management of the Cultural Relics Bureau and the Archaeological Center after all.

Therefore, they were unable to verify the situation directly with Professor Zhang in this regard.

After much thought, Yu Zhi could only ask Li Xin to ask the platoon leader whether Professor Zhang and the others had said anything after they went down the mountain.

Soon, the platoon leader sent a reply telegram, saying that after Professor Zhang and others went down the mountain, they convened an emergency meeting of other archaeological teams.

Afterwards, Professor Zhang brought other archaeological teams and relevant equipment up the mountain again.

For safety reasons, a platoon leader tried to stop them, but to no avail.

Professor Zhang and others insisted on going up the mountain and claimed that the imperial tomb discovered on the mountain had great archaeological significance.

After learning this, Yu Zhi frowned, thought for a moment and then said:

“This is getting more and more strange, which means that the ancient tomb that Professor Zhang and his team found on the mountain is really an imperial tomb.

The 788 Exploration Team claimed that they wanted to guard the imperial mausoleum...

What are the corpse puppets they are talking about..."

Yu Zhi was confused by the many clues in front of him.

He was confused and worried.

The attitude of the 788 Exploration Team in the telegram was very clear. They didn't know what to do, but they were obviously ready to die.

This spirit is enough to make Yu Zhi and Meng Yuan feel respect.

Yu Zhi sighed deeply and said slowly:

"Whatever happened, we can only wish them good luck.

We will also continue to perform our disaster relief duties..."

As he spoke, Yu Zhi put the telegram sent by the 788 Exploration Team into the drawer.

There was a hint of heaviness and worry in their eyes.

……

At the same time, at the foot of Mount Li.

The platoon leader has ordered the soldiers to disassemble the stone chimes to the point where they cannot be taken apart any further.

Since the order was to continue transporting the chime stones up the mountain, the platoon leader had no choice but to bite the bullet and try every possible means.

All the bronze pieces were placed in boxes, and the other parts were transported separately by soldiers.

Even though it had been dismantled to the point where it could no longer be dismantled, the large frame weighing dozens of kilograms was still a thorny problem.

Fortunately, the 788th Exploration Team used some unknown method to open up a mountain road, which finally gave the platoon leader a plan to deal with the situation.

"Everyone listen carefully, our goal this time is to advance 300 meters along the mountain road.

You can take a short rest only after you reach 300 meters. The terrain there is relatively solid, which can minimize unnecessary dangers.

The four soldiers in charge of pulling the red cloth should pay attention and keep up with the pace. These things cannot be seen in the light, so they must be covered with cloth at all times. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

The soldiers, like the platoon leader, were completely confused by all this.

At this time they were just following orders, but no one could figure out what the meaning of this order was.

Finally, after everything was ready, the soldiers set off again.

Six soldiers passed a hemp rope through the bottom of the frame and held the top with both hands.

With the hemp ropes draped over their shoulders, they gritted their teeth and slowly lifted up the frame, walking up the mountain step by step.

Following behind were many soldiers, who were in groups of four, carrying several heavy boxes.

On the outside, there were four soldiers holding long poles and covering them with red cloth to ensure that everyone was covered by the red cloth.

Such a unique team once again embarked on the difficult journey to Mount Li.

Every step was extremely difficult. Although the mountain road had been cleared, it was still muddy underfoot, making it extremely difficult to move forward, not to mention carrying these huge and heavy things.

It took the team nearly 300 minutes to walk the 40-meter mountain road. Everyone was exhausted and exhausted.

Fortunately, the platoon leader had made preparations in advance, and the soldiers behind him quickly came up to take over from them, and they continued to advance 300 meters in a relay manner.

Although this approach is progressing slowly, it is at least making steady progress.

Several groups kept moving forward in turns, and although the speed was slow, they kept pushing forward.

Not to mention the soldiers, even the platoon leader couldn't understand why such a large object had to be transported up the mountain.

Moreover, for this task, the platoon leader even had to suspend other dredging tasks and devote himself wholeheartedly to this matter.

The soldiers' energy and physical strength were being rapidly consumed, but the advancement speed was still slow.

However, there was no other way at this time, the soldiers could only grit their teeth and force themselves to walk up the mountain.

At the same time, Professor Zhang and others had already gone up the mountain in advance.

They followed the mountain road opened up by Zhu Qingyang and transported some professional equipment to the mountain at the same time.

As soon as they arrived at the mountain, Professor Zhang immediately ordered the archaeological team to begin surveying. They had to determine the location of the burial pit as soon as possible and find the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit.

Soon, multiple ground detectors responded. Professor Zhang was ecstatic and immediately ordered the excavation work to begin.

The other archaeological team members did not dare to delay and hurried to start preparing for the work.

As the mountain roads are narrow, large equipment cannot go up the mountain, so the excavation work basically has to be done by manpower.

However, such a discovery is enough to encourage people.

Under the leadership of Professor Zhang, the rest of the archaeological team also began the excavation work with great motivation.

Zhang Xiaoxian stood beside Professor Zhang and said expectantly:

"Professor, if we can really excavate the complete burial pit of the Terracotta Warriors, it will be a unique achievement.

This is a great reference for the history of archaeology and is enough to make us famous all over the world.”

Professor Zhang nodded happily:

“Yes, we really have to thank the 788 Exploration Team for this.

Of course, I also want to thank you. If it weren't for your recommendation, perhaps the 788 Exploration Team would not have been involved in this operation."

Zhang Xiaoxian smiled thoughtfully and said:

“In fact, my attitude towards the 788 Exploration Team has always been quite complicated.

Before this joint action, I didn't know much about them.

But one of my friend resigned resolutely and returned to his ancestral home after dealing with the 788 Exploration Team.

Another friend returned from abroad and left without saying goodbye. Later I learned that he had joined the 788 Exploration Team. "

Professor Zhang was a little surprised when he heard this:

"Xiao Xian, are there any friends of yours in the exploration team?"

Zhang Xiaoxian nodded slightly.

Professor Zhang and others did not hear her conversation with Zhu Yingying before she left.

“The team member codenamed Qianji is my friend, and she is the descendant of the Taoist monk Banshan.

Strictly speaking, she is actually a secular woman. "

Professor Zhang asked in confusion:

"But why is it that you two haven't spoken much since they arrived?"

Zhang Xiaoxian smiled bitterly and shook her head:

“I didn’t know she had joined until the 788th expedition team arrived.

I had a lot of questions I wanted to ask her, but this wasn't the time to talk.

Perhaps she was also feeling upset about leaving without saying goodbye.

After this mission, I will find a chance to meet with her.

It turns out that she was right to join the 788 Exploration Team..."

Professor Zhang nodded thoughtfully:

"Xiao Xian, although I don't know what happened between you.

However, everyone has their own aspirations. The 788 Exploration Team is indeed a very special and excellent team, and is definitely the elite among the elites in the army.

You should be happy for your friend, after all, it's not easy to join this team."

Zhang Xiaoxian nodded, and she looked towards the direction of the imperial mausoleum with some concern:

"Professor, I don't know why, but I always have a bad feeling in my heart, and I feel a little anxious, as if a disaster is about to happen.

I can’t explain this feeling, but it lingers…”

Hearing Zhang Xiaoxian's words, Professor Zhang did not seem surprised, but nodded:

"I feel the same way. The members of the 788 Exploration Team are only young people in their early twenties, but they shoulder such a heavy responsibility and face numerous crises. They know that there are many dangers in the imperial mausoleum, but they still move forward resolutely. This spirit is admirable, but also worrying..."

At this moment, the archaeologist in charge of the excavation said, "Professor Zhang, we have found something here!"

Upon hearing this, Professor Zhang and Zhang Xiaoxian could only put aside their thoughts temporarily and hurried over.

They saw that several archaeologists had dug a large pit nearly 5 meters deep.

As it was raining heavily at the time, the team members had to build a waterproof shed in advance.

And in the deep pit, several armors and weapons were found...

"Professor Zhang, is this the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit you mentioned?" asked the archaeological team.

Professor Zhang shook his head slightly: "There are many burial pits for Qin Shihuang. This should be the weapons pit. Although it must be preserved, it is not our main goal..."

Professor Zhang always keeps Han Feng's instructions in mind.

Although discovering the burial weapons pit was extremely rare, it did not change his goal.

The most urgent task is to find the Terracotta Warriors and Horses burial pit and complete Han Feng’s instructions!

In the heavy rain, Professor Zhang looked towards the direction of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum with some concern.

Their archaeological team has completed the archaeological mission within the imperial mausoleum, and everything that comes after that will be too much for them to bear.

Because the deeper you go, the more dangers there are.

Perhaps the only thing they can do is to find the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit as soon as possible and complete the task assigned by Han Feng.

Apart from this, we can only pray silently in our hearts and wish the 788 Exploration Team a triumphant return!

"788 Exploration Team, we are about to find the Terracotta Warriors' Burial Pit. We will never let you down! We also wish you a safe trip and all the best!" Professor Zhang wished silently in his heart.

At the same time, the 788 Exploration Team, which was worried by all parties outside, has returned to the imperial tomb for the third time.

After they entered the outer palace from the dark river, they arrived at the outer palace in the shortest time.

Since almost all the mechanisms along the way had been activated and destroyed, they did not spend too much time and energy on the road this time.

The few of them soon arrived at Zhao Gao's tomb again.
