Chapter 693 Black Water

Du Fei thought for a while and said, "Comrade Xiucheng, I recognize your professional ability very much, but I think we need to change our thinking. Let's not consider economic benefits. Where is the most likely entrance?"

Yang Xiucheng was stunned and his brain did not react for a while.

As the saying goes, every inch has its own strengths and every inch has its own weaknesses.

Often a person has special talents in a certain field, but will have various defects in other places.

The same is true for Yang Xiucheng.

On the contrary, Gong Yong reacted and continued, "Comrade Du Fei, are you saying that the people who built this place are the kind of dog tycoons who don't consider the cost at all?"

When Du Fei heard it, this description was apt. Prince Qing was really the biggest dog tycoon.

Yang Xiucheng also understood it, but frowned and still disagreed.

He was born a poor child. If there was no New China, he would still be herding sheep!

After graduation, he went directly to the army to serve in the army. He really had never seen the so-called dog tycoons who regarded money as dirt.

Gong Yong knew him and guessed what he was thinking. He glared at him and said, "Xiucheng!"

He only called his name without any extra reprimands or orders. Yang Xiucheng understood and curled his lips and said, "If you must say so, then it's here."

He pointed to the middle of the back room, where the coffin was originally placed.

Du Fei looked in the direction of his hand.

There was a pedestal carved from a whole piece of white marble.

Originally, after Zaizhen died, his coffin would be placed on it.

But this place became a large warehouse and was sealed in advance.

Zaizhen's coffin naturally could not be sent here.

After all the silver coins were cleared out, this white marble pedestal was particularly conspicuous.

Du Fei had checked it before, but didn't see any clues.

But since Yang Xiucheng pointed here, it must not be aimless.

Gong Yong was a little scratching his head. The previous places were brick walls, so he could just use a chisel and hammer.

But such a large piece of white marble is three meters long and one and a half meters wide, and there is no joint in the middle.

It is estimated to weigh more than ten tons, and it is definitely impossible to move it with manpower alone.

Fortunately, Gong Yong is also an old engineer, and he directly asked people to build a wooden frame and use a jack.

However, he did not expect that even if he broke the wooden bar as thick as an adult's calf, the base of the white marble still did not move at all!

Gong Yong was not surprised but happy.

In theory, even if the base of this white marble is heavy, it should be able to be lifted up a little with a jack.

Now it does not move at all, which can only mean one thing.

This base is not placed on the ground, but there is a connecting structure below!

Du Fei and Yang Xiucheng also saw it and looked at each other.

Yang Xiucheng did not care about this somewhat embarrassing result.

He is a very pure person, right is right, wrong is wrong.

And being able to find the right direction is the most important thing for him.

Yang Xiucheng walked forward, put his ear close to it, and took a small hammer that was polished to a shine, and tapped it gently.

After a moment, he stood up again.

Gong Yong asked hurriedly, "How is it?"

Yang Xiucheng said in a deep voice, "The structure inside seems to be very complicated, and it will take a lot of time to crack it."

He turned his head to look at Du Fei, and then said, "If you are in a hurry, you can use explosives."

Gong Yong also looked at Du Fei and said, "Comrade Du Fei, what do you think?"

Du Fei didn't think about it, and waved his hand directly, "Use explosives!"

This is not a puzzle game, he doesn't have time to make such trouble.

This answer is very much to Gong Yong's temper, but Yang Xiucheng is a little disappointed.

He is very interested in this kind of mechanism, and if Du Fei gives him time, he is happy to try it.

It's a pity...

But obeying orders is the duty of a soldier.

Yang Xiucheng quickly adjusted his mentality and began to prepare to drill holes and set off blasts.

Du Fei knew the power of explosives, so he didn't dare to step forward and hid far away.

Watching Yang Xiucheng quickly calculating on the notebook while instructing the engineers to drill holes in the white marble to place explosives and detonators.

This process took about an hour.

Du Fei had never seen anyone do this job, but Yang Xiucheng gave him the impression that at least he looked quite stylish.

After finishing the job, everyone retreated outside and pulled out a wire from the long tomb passage.

The detonator was in Gong Yong's hand.

Until the final confirmation that everyone was together, Gong Yong pressed the button directly without counting down a few numbers.

There was no "boom" explosion, but a series of "bang bang bang" muffled sounds.

Immediately afterwards, a cloud of gray smoke and dust poured out from the entrance of the tomb passage.

Then, everyone felt a slight tremor on the ground under their feet.

It was like an earthquake!

It took more than ten seconds for the vibration to stop.

Just now, Du Fei and his men retreated behind the bunker more than ten meters away from the entrance of the tomb passage.

The explosion was expected, but the subsequent slight earthquake was not a good sign.

Du Fei, Gong Yong and Yang Xiucheng looked at each other, all of them were worried.

Fortunately, the silver coins had been transported away before, so even if the explosion just now caused the place to collapse, it would not affect the mission this time.

The fan was turned on and blew at the entrance of the tomb for more than ten minutes, finally blowing away the dust inside.

First, a scout was sent inside with a rope tied around his body to take a look.

After confirming that there was no problem, Du Fei and his team followed in.

When they came to the back room of the tomb again, the white marble

base had been blown open.

It was broken into pieces and shattered into more than a dozen pieces.

In the middle, a dark hole with a diameter of more than one meter was exposed underneath.

Underneath the gravel is a spiral staircase descending.

Du Fei secretly shouted "Sure enough"!

At the same time, with a thought in mind, he released Xiao Hong while others were not paying attention.

Because of the blast, the searchlights previously deployed were withdrawn.

This time when I came in, there were only a few bright flashlights, all of which were focused on blasting, not paying any attention to Du Fei.

Xiao Hong was released and immediately ran to the corner, and then brazenly jumped into the blasted hole first.

The sudden appearance of a black shadow startled everyone.

But after seeing it clearly, it was just a mouse, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Only Du Fei secretly activated vision synchronization.

Follow Xiaohong down the spiral staircase.

We reached the bottom in a blink of an eye, but just halfway down, I couldn't help but be stunned.

This secret chamber located under the tomb is smaller than the back chamber above, and its height is uncertain.

Because the bottom of this secret room is completely submerged in water!

Du Fei synchronized his vision and frowned when he saw the black water under the stairs.

At this time, above, the two investigators were ready to go down the stairs.

If Xiaohong doesn't leave quickly, she will be blocked on the stairs.

As the first of the "four pests", it destroys food and spreads diseases.

People at this time absolutely hated rats and had no fear of them at all.

Even if you are a child, if you see a mouse, you don't need to look for a brick, just go up and kick it, and it will be crushed into a mouse cake for you.

Du Fei didn't want Xiao Hong to become a dead soul at the feet of a certain soldier.

Immediately, a thought came to mind and asked Xiao Hong to enter the water first.

Rats can swim, so they are not afraid of drowning.

But Xiao Hong seems to be very repellent to getting into the water, and it doesn't seem like she got her hair wet.

But there was nothing he could do, Du Fei gave the order a second time, and Xiaohong had no choice but to obey.

After going down two more steps, we separated a slip of water and swam into the darkness.

The two investigators who came down from above also faced Xiaohong's dilemma.

They didn't expect that the water would completely flood the secret room.

However, the water still flows down from the hot springs above. Even in the twelfth lunar month of winter, it does not freeze, but instead emits the slightest trace of steam.

"Report! There's water down there," one of the investigators shouted.

Gong Yong also saw the light of the water below and ordered, "Try the depth of the water."

"yes!"

The person below responded, took out the folded ruler, straightened it and dipped it into the water.

"One meter two...

...One meter three...one meter two..." The scout took three places and found that the depths were actually different.

Logically speaking, the floor of the tombs built manually here is paved with bricks and stones, so they should be flat.

The investigator holding the ruler stirred instinctively and discovered that there was something underneath instead of the ground, soaked in water.

Touch it with a ruler and apply a little force. It's not heavy and it can still move!

The two investigators couldn't help but look at each other, both showing solemn expressions.

Although the bottom was covered with dirty ink-like water, the bottom could not be seen at all.

But they vaguely guessed the following situation.

The two retreated to the top and immediately reported to Gong Yong.

At the same time, Du Fei's face didn't look very good. Just now, by synchronizing his vision with Xiao Hong, he saw more things underwater.

When Gong Yong heard this, his face became heavy and he waved his hand, "Get on the water pump!"

After waiting for about half an hour, more than 20 soldiers from the engineering battalion shouted slogans and walked up the simple mountain road to pick up a diesel water pump from a truck at the bottom of the mountain.

The diesel engine vibrates greatly. To prevent resonance, we did not dare to lift the water pump into the tomb.

Outside, a workbench was built using the soil from the previous excavation of the tomb passage.

Put the water pump on it and swing out a black rubber pipe, which extends all the way to the bottom of the back room of the tomb.

With a "chunk" sound, the diesel engine started.

After a while, a black stream of water spurted out from the drain port of the water pump.

Just like in the tomb chamber, the black water was still and did not emit any peculiar smell.

Now it was completely stirred up, and a smell instantly spread out from the drain.

Some nearby soldiers were caught off guard, as if they had eaten two kilograms of rotten eggs in one bite, and their stomachs were instantly turned upside down.

Some people reacted quickly and immediately shouted "No, it's poisonous!"

Fortunately, it was not a closed space. Although the stench was strong, it was dispersed by the strong north wind on the mountain.

But it was not easy to deal with inside the tomb. As the rubber pipe vibrated in the water, a stench spread out, which was really annoying!

Fortunately, Gong Yong was very experienced and took the people out early, leaving only two people wearing gas masks to watch.

At first, Du Fei was a little worried about whether Xiaohong would be poisoned.

Unexpectedly, this guy was not affected at all.

After swimming around in the black water, I quickly found a platform to stay in the corner and shook off the water drops on my body.

Xiaohong's fur is very oily and does not absorb water at all.

Then he swung his paws up and dug a hole into it.

After waiting for another hour, the secret room below was finally drained.

Du Fei, Gong Yong, Yang Xiucheng and the other two company commanders went down the stairs.

When they took a flashlight and shined a light on it, they saw a scene that made everyone feel numb.
