Origin

Seeing Zhang Shukai being attacked, Lu Jiahui hurriedly pulled out her pistol. The first shot hit one of them in the back, but the other person did not lose the ability to move and continued to bite Zhang Shukai crazily.

Seeing this situation, Lu Jiahui fired a second shot, this time hitting the man's head. The man was shot in the head before he turned over and fell dead.

Seeing that the only way to kill his opponent was to hit him on the head, Zhang Shukai bent his arms and raised his hands, and fired at close range, hitting the other person with brain fluid splattering.

Zhang Shukai had many bite wounds on his body, but after killing his opponent, he did not bother to check his own injuries. With the cover of Lu Jiahui's shooting, he quickly put on his gun and rejoined the battle.

The stone door was not pushed open very much. Wang Xinran and others occupied almost all the openings. Wu Zhongyuan could not get close and could not see what was in the stone chamber. However, the three of them continued to shoot at various places in the stone chamber. This shows the number of enemies in the stone chamber. a lot of.

"What's inside?" Wu Zhongyuan shouted loudly.

The three of them continued shooting, and gunshots came one after another. Maybe they didn't hear Wu Zhongyuan's call, or maybe they were distracted by Wu Xia, but no one answered.

At this moment, a corpse fell down near the stone gate at close range. Wu Zhongyuan happened to be able to see the person's body. Judging from his clothes, he must have been a mercenary.

"The number of people is wrong." Wu Zhongyuan secretly wondered. After Zhang Kui surrendered, he once said that five people went into the water, but so far, six people have appeared.

The situation was critical now, and there was no time for him to think. Wang Xinran and others used pistols, which needed to be replaced frequently. Zhang Shukai had gone out before and brought back a lot of ammunition. Whenever Wang Xinran and Lu Jiahui were about to run out of ammunition, he would The police will be handed over to them in time.

Just when Lu Jiahui reached out to pick up the weapon, a mercenary took the opportunity to bite her left wrist. Lu Jiahui felt the pain, so she withdrew her right arm, put the pistol against the mercenary's head and fired, killing the mercenary and taking it back to unload. replace.

Just as she was changing her arms, another enemy rushed up, grabbed her ankles and dragged her into the stone room.

At this time, Wang Xinran and Zhang Shukai were blocking the enemy. Seeing Lu Jiahui in danger, Wang Xinran stretched out his hand to drag her, but she was half a minute too late and missed.

Seeing that the two of them had no time to separate, Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly rushed to help. Only then did he see the scene in the stone chamber clearly. There were five or six corpses lying on the ground of the stone chamber, and there were still four or five alive. The north of the stone chamber led to the eighth The stone door of the first stone chamber was half open, and with a startled glance, a black shadow rushed into the eighth stone chamber.

The situation was critical, and Wu Zhongyuan didn't want to think too much.

He quickly stepped forward and shot the mercenary who was dragging Lu Jiahui. He also shot the mercenary from close range. The mercenary was killed with one shot. He took the opportunity to drag Lu Jiahui back.

"Thank you." Lu Jiahui gasped.

Before Wu Zhongyuan could answer, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his leg. He lowered his head eagerly and saw an injured mercenary who fell to the ground but was not dead biting his right leg.

Wu Zhongyuan lowered his hand and fired, killing the man, and then fired another shot to the left, killing the other one.

There was no fluorite for lighting in the stone chamber. Wang Xinran and others were relying on headlights at this time. The lights were flickering and erratic, which affected the three people's aim. However, Wu Zhongyuan had night vision and could see clearly. He fired two more shots, killing the last two. Killed by a mercenary.

The gunshots stopped and the surroundings immediately fell into dead silence.

When the battle came to an end, the four people hurriedly retreated outside the stone gate. Zhang Shukai brought a first-aid kit with him and took it out to distribute to Wang Xinran and Lu Jiahui.

There was a syringe in the first aid kit, which may have contained antibiotics. After the two injected themselves, they took out the disinfectant from the first aid kit to disinfect Zhang Shukai's wounds. Zhang Shukai's injuries were serious, with multiple bite wounds on his body. The most serious part was on the right arm, where a huge piece of flesh was torn off, including the leather.

Only then did Wu Zhongyuan have the chance to speak, "What's going on?"

"This is a trap." Wang Xinran poured disinfectant on Zhang Shukai's arm. The wound would cause severe pain when exposed to the disinfectant, but Zhang Shukai seemed not to notice and kept tilting his head sideways, alert.

"Trap?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned in confusion. After thinking anxiously, he suddenly realized, "You mean they deliberately sent people to surrender and provided us with false information to lure us down?"

"Yes," Wang Xinran nodded, "not only the false news they provided after surrendering, but also the clues we got before were deliberately let us know in order to lure us down so that we can ambush you and catch you."

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was still dubious, Wang Xinran became a little anxious, "In order to mislead us, they deliberately left four sets of diving equipment at the entrance of the mausoleum. When they attacked the bronze man, only five people fired, creating the illusion that they only came down with five people. In fact, they There were far more than five people who came down, but they kept the other diving equipment with them and didn’t leave it outside.”

"But the black dragon really blocked them..."

Before Wu Zhongyuan could finish speaking, Wang Xinran interrupted him, "Why haven't you reacted yet? Do you still remember that when we interrogated Zhang Kui, I took out your senior brother's photo and asked him about the five people who went into the water? Is your senior brother there? He answered in the affirmative. In fact, your senior brother and the black suit didn't come down at all. They just used your senior brother as bait to lure us down."

"What should we do now?" Wu Zhongyuan asked eagerly, "How did they become like this? Were they bitten by zombies?"

"This is what I'm worried about," Wang Xinran said with a solemn expression, "I just saw a fast-moving black-haired monkey in the stone chamber. It should be the same species as the host of the iron worm. This monkey is probably the culprit, but In the past cases about zombies, the zombies recorded in them were all transformed from dead people, and there is no case where monkeys can also become zombies."

"What if this monkey is really a zombie?" Wu Zhongyuan was very nervous.

"Whether it is a zombie or not, it makes no essential difference to us." Wang Xinran helped Zhang Shukai's arm wrap gauze. "The reason why those mercenaries became like this is undoubtedly because they were bitten by monkeys. That monkey must have They are all infected by some kind of germ, and now we can only hope that this germ can only be directly infected by the monkeys and cannot be indirectly transmitted by these mercenaries."

After Wang Xinran finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan asked nervously, "What if it can be spread indirectly?"

"Then we can only place our hope on antibiotics," Wang Xinran shook his head and said, "But the mercenaries should have brought similar drugs. If you want to use them to kill germs, there is little hope."

"Let's go to the hospital quickly." Wu Zhongyuan said, since Zhao Ying is not here, there is no need to stay here.

Wang Xinran shook his head, "It's useless. The incubation period of corpse poison is very short. It will not exceed ten minutes at most. There is no time for treatment."

Wu Zhongyuan was stunned and speechless.

Wang Xinran and Lu Jiahui helped Zhang Shukai treat his wounds, and the three of them replenished their ammunition. Wang Xinran said to Wu Zhongyuan, "The water flowed from the stone chamber inside. There must be damage and cracks in the dome and walls, but at present, it seems that the mausoleum should not be damaged in a short time." It will collapse, let’s go through the last two stone chambers as soon as possible and see if we can get the reward left by the old madman.”

"If it is really corpse poison, is it possible to cure it after the disease occurs?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Wang Xinran did not answer Wu Zhongyuan's words, but instead stuffed a pistol over, "Your pistol has been empty. This one is for you. You can guard outside while we go in first and kill the black-haired monkey."

Wu Zhongyuan took the pistol and said, "I'll go in with you."

"You stay outside!" Wang Xinran's tone did not allow for refutation. After saying this, he entered the stone room, followed closely by Zhang Shukai and Lu Jiahui.

Wu Zhongyuan did not follow up forcefully. Wang Xinran and others received professional training and had a tacit understanding of each other's cooperation. He was more likely to cause trouble than to help.

At this time, water kept flowing out of the stone room, his shoes were all wet, and there was no place to sit. Wu Zhongyuan could only stand on one leg against the wall, raised his right leg, lifted up his trouser leg, and checked the injury on his leg.

There was also a bite wound on his leg, which was sustained while rescuing Lu Jiahui. The bite was fatal, and the teeth not only broke the skin and penetrated the flesh, but even damaged the fibula.

When he was checking his own injuries, gunshots came from the stone room. The gunshots were very intensive. Without asking, all three of them fired.

The gunfire lasted for more than ten seconds before it stopped. A few seconds later, there was another gunshot. This shot should be a follow-up shot to ensure the monkey's death.

"Safety." Zhang Shukai shouted.

"Come in." Wang Xinran said.

Wu Zhongyuan put down his pants and walked into the stone chamber. When he entered the seventh stone chamber, the three of them were coming out of the eighth stone chamber.

Wang Xinran said to Wu Zhongyuan, "The main tomb chamber is sinking, you have to hurry up."

After Wang Xinran finished speaking, Lu Jiahui added, "There should be a mechanical connection between the main tomb chamber and the eighth stone chamber. As long as someone triggers the mechanism of the eighth stone chamber, the main tomb chamber will begin to sink. The previous violent vibration should have been caused by the monkey." The mechanism was activated unintentionally.”

"How long do I have?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. The sinking of the main tomb was undoubtedly arranged by Zuo Ci. Zuo Ci might allow him to wander around the yard, but he would never allow him to enter his home. The main tomb was He definitely didn't want anyone else to enter Zuo Ci's resting place.

Lu Jiahui said, "As the main tomb chamber sinks, the gaps in the stone wall will become larger and larger, and a large amount of lake water will flow in. I estimate it will not take more than half an hour."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, stepped forward while avoiding the corpses on the ground, and looked at the stone platform. There was only one copper plate on this stone platform. It was not one ring or five rings, but a complex nine-ring disc. Tai Chi, two Yi, four images, five elements, eight trigrams, nine palaces, ten heavenly stems, twelve earthly branches, and sixty-four hexagrams.

The upper part of the copper plate has the word "Xiaoyao", and the right side is engraved with "Invisibility Illusion, Pindao's own creation and research, it can hide the body shape, and can be transformed at will, stay with Mr."

After reading the writing on the stone platform, Wu Zhongyuan raised his head and asked, "Only half an hour left?"

"At most." Lu Jiahui said.

"What are you looking for?" Wu Zhongyuan asked, while the three of them were checking the mercenaries' backpacks one by one.

"There is a stone table at the door of the main tomb chamber with square indentations on it. They should have taken that thing away," Wang Xinran said,

Wu Zhongyuan did not ask any more questions and walked towards the eighth stone chamber. Time was limited and the copper plates were complicated. There would definitely not be enough time to solve two problems in half an hour. He could only choose one of the remaining two questions to solve.

The corpse of a black-haired monkey lay dead in the eighth stone chamber. Time was running out, so Wu Zhongyuan had no time to look around and walked straight to the stone platform. This stone platform also had a nine-ring copper plate with the word "King" engraved on it. What is engraved on the right side is "Three Fires and Nine Treatises, a treatise on metallurgy by Ou Yezi. It can be used to make sharp weapons to compete with deer, and to forge magical weapons to fight for supremacy. Please keep it."

These two questions, one is how to live happily, and the other is how to be a competent king, are both very profound questions, but the rewards are also very generous. The other is a reward for invisibility illusion, which is not only invisible, but also A magic that changes the body like Sun Wukong. The other one rewards three fires and nine theories. Ou Yezi is a master swordsmith. His swordmaking skills are unfathomable and unprecedented.

Just when Wu Zhongyuan was hesitant about which one to crack, Wang Xinran walked in from outside and handed over a square jade box, "This should be the thing on the stone table in front."

Wu Zhongyuan reached out to take it, and saw that the square jade box was carved from white jade, with a relatively flat shape and about the same size as a large inkstone. The lid of the jade box was engraved with four small seals, "Return to the original owner."

Just when Wu Zhongyuan was about to open the jade box, Zhang Shukai's voice came from outside, "No. 9 is a corpse poison that can be indirectly infected. My vision has begun to blur..."
