Chapter 14 Chapter 4: The Underground River, the Five-Story Ghost Building

All the handwriting is carved out with a sharp knife.According to Arab media reports, Honglong was born in the army, has practiced Muay Thai for more than ten years, and is good at using fighting knives.Therefore, it is absolutely credible that he could use a sharp knife to carve words on the stone wall. "Who is he going to dedicate everything to? To King Solomon?" Fang Xing reached out and stroked the writing. The words were engraved on the mural, but my intuition clearly showed that what he was really praying to was the bound monster. What the red dragon has done has violated the principles of humanitarianism. Just like the evil supreme in ancient China, the more it develops, the more it will go crazy, and it will be against the world.Such a person will never seek to solve the gods on the righteous path, but will only bow his head to the devil king.Moreover, he has always wanted to plant his flag all over the Arab world, which is an act of war madness in itself, which is even worse than the three major axis powers during World War II.

"The gods will not accept offerings from demons and heretics, let alone allow the world to sink into darkness. After the first Gulf War, the Red Dragon apparently obeyed the orders of the United Nations, but secretly did a lot of preparatory work, all to observe the unification The original intention of the Arab world. Fortunately, this crazy dragon has been bound by the Pentagon, just like the monster was stuffed into a copper bottle, and when the seal falls, his future will be completely plunged into darkness." To the parents of doctors, I am a doctor, and I never want to see the flames of war spreading. I just hope that everyone can live a safe and happy life.

Fang Xing let out a low cry, his fingertips were scratched by the sharp nicks on the stone wall, and a few drops of blood dripped down. "Oh, bad luck, bad luck!" She shook her hands angrily, staring at the stone wall, her face was full of intense depression. "You guys wait here. I'll go back to the military supply depot. I believe that as long as we all work together, we will be able to return to the ground. Miss Fang, you are a long-established master in the world. Remember to protect Miss Wuqing for me. We must take her away. Send it to Tang Qiang safely, is that okay?"

I made a pun, implying that she restrained her attitude towards ruthlessness.Regardless of the relationship between Wuqing and Tang Qiang, we have to wait until we get out of trouble safely before making any plans. "But—take care!" She tried to object to my decision, but had nothing better to offer but to obey. "Mr. Shen, take care. If you encounter a dangerous situation, getting out of your body is the first priority. Don't be impulsive. Even if we can't get the rope, we can find another way." Wuqing is somewhat calmer than Fang Xing. On the contrary, it was the most abnormal, because the Egyptian black blood worm disappeared, she should feel extremely anxious.

Sometimes, people have to face danger, which is a sudden reality that forces people to the position of "playing a hero".For example, now, walking with two girls, of course, I can only undertake the most dangerous task, there is no second choice. I am not afraid of any danger. Sometimes danger can stimulate the deep potential of the human body and make earth-shattering events. "I can do it, I can do anything—" I told myself silently as I stepped through the hole in the big clock again, and tried my best to keep a smile on my face.Each throwing knife is hidden in the best position of the body, and can slide down on the fingertips at any time to welcome the surprise attack of feline killer beasts.

"If you can kill one of them, you can kill any of them, right?" After a short rest, my self-confidence and courage were all restored, and I regarded the strange scene of Li Wenzheng's killing as a horror. A cutscene in the movie, easily left behind. The corridor was very quiet. I successfully entered the military supply depot and got four coils of white nylon rope, totaling more than 300 meters, enough for us to go down to the bottom of the well.This is the second time I have entered here, and I secretly blamed Fang Xing for not keeping Li Wenzheng's backpack, otherwise the steel wire would ensure that we escape into the water, and the bottle of "Death Pathfinder" poured into the water source is enough to kill any monster .

On Hong Kong Island, both Fang Xing and Wuqing performed very well, making me mistakenly think that we are all on the same front, that we can advance and retreat together, share the same fate, and face any danger together.When I got here, I suddenly discovered that everyone has more or less their own secrets, and they cannot open their hearts to each other. "Perhaps, this is called 'wealth and wealth but not adversity'?" I smiled wryly at myself, picked up a rocket launcher and hung it on my shoulder, grabbed another rocket and stuffed it into the launch hole, carefully Close the safety catch and maintain the ready state for launching within three seconds.

In a difficult situation, just follow your intuition. Although I don't like to use firearms, this time I had a sudden inspiration and felt that I could use them. I exited the military supply depot and returned quickly. When I reached the intersection on the other side of the treasure house, I suddenly heard Shen Qian's majestic "woo woo woo woo", which was more than ten times stronger than the cry of the monster that killed Li Wenzheng. "Is it an adult feline killer?" The blood in my chest suddenly boiled, and I realized why the sixth sense brought a heavy weapon, probably for the monster.

I turned into the corridor leading to the treasure house, and saw the iron door open wide in the distance, and the wizard's voice continued to be indistinct.When I got within five steps of the iron gate, more than a dozen different monsters were howling together, with different voices, but they seemed to be gradually quieting down. "Between wizards and monsters, what is—" I just turned this thought in my mind, and with a "meow", the wizard's black cat jumped out of the door, squatted in the middle of the corridor, and stared at me coldly. I was stunned for about half a second. Seeing the black cat was like seeing a shrunken monster.Immediately afterwards, I put the bazooka on my shoulders, leaned forward, and appeared at the door of the treasure house in a half-kneeling posture. There are only between twenty monsters.

This is a real duel. The power of the rocket can destroy the armor of a light tank within twenty steps, but it cannot kill a group of feline killer beasts at the same time. Besides, the wizard is still surrounded by them. She fires. Time seemed to stand still for an instant, my index finger was on the trigger, and there was only a bigger monster perched on the roof of the jeep in my field of vision.Its eyes are blood red, like two rubies of excellent texture, shining brightly under the lights on the roof. The wizard stood up, raised his arms, and cried out in a high-pitched voice.The monsters around her who were about to move slowly got down and looked back at her, as if they didn't see my existence.

"Let's go, let's go!" The wizard yelled, but I couldn't go away anymore. The huge monster had no sign of recharging, and suddenly jumped into the air and rushed towards the door. The suffocating cold light. "Three, two, one" - I silently counted three times, and Huo Di pulled the trigger.When the rocket flew out, the monster had already jumped within five steps of me, and its sharp claws violently chopped down from top to bottom.The modern theory of close combat does not break away from the ancient key point of "one inch short and one inch dangerous". Only when the two sides of the war are infinitely close can the most lethal lethality erupt. At the risk of serious injury, I let it charge closer, just to prevent it from shrinking and twisting in mid-air, avoiding this fatal blow.If this is the case, I am afraid that if the rocket is empty, I will not escape bad luck.However, I was lucky enough to seize the opportunity again. The rocket hit the monster and flew more than 50 meters backwards, nailing it to the stone wall on the side of the treasure house, but it didn't explode. "Woo, woo, woo, woo—" The monsters all mobilized, no longer being suppressed by the wizard, and fanned towards the door. I had no choice. I threw away the bazooka and flew back. At the same time, I took out the remote control and pressed the trigger button hard.Fang Xing's lightness skill was brought to the extreme, and he could fly back about twenty steps before the bomb exploded, and I was faster than her. When the first landmine exploded, I retreated to the fork in the corridor and watched the flames explode with my own eyes. When the light came on, a monster that jumped out of the door was hit by the huge air thrust, and directly hit the stone wall opposite the treasure house, blood spattered, and fell softly to the ground. Explosions sounded one after another, and I sprinted past the broken copper bell and back into the rotunda. The ground was shaking violently, Fang Xing and Wuqing asked in unison: "What's going on outside?" I fixed the rope on the mouth of the well with the fastest movement, and ordered Fang Xing loudly: "You, go down first, and connect the second when you reach the end of the rope; ruthless, you are the second, stay alert and be ready to respond to Fang Xing at any time." Star, face the raiders." There is no time to explain, whether it is a monster or an explosion, it will destroy the world in an instant. Time is life, this sentence is not true at all.If I hadn't had a flash of inspiration to grab the bazooka, I would have been killed by the killer beast just now. The wizard helped me win the chance to shoot the giant monster.When the treasure house explodes, I hope she will be lucky enough to escape, but the chances are very slim, extremely slim. Fang Xing went down the well, and after sliding down 80 meters at a speed close to free fall, he connected to the second rope and continued to fall. Relentless was much slower than she was, but we managed to make contact with the water before the monster burst into the rotunda.Looking at the top of the head, the mouth of the well has turned into a palm-sized light spot, and the monster has never appeared.On the bright side, they were all killed by bombs and landmines, and were smashed together with jeeps and gold bars; on the bad side, they were stopped by the bronze bell, and most of them were alive and healthy, waiting for the next time someone entered the ghost town. When they are buried in the tomb, they will become the dead souls under the claws of these monsters. Of course, I still have a worst prediction in my mind: "If the monsters don't die, the little ones will gradually grow up and become adult monsters. Their lethality and vitality will be unprecedentedly strong, and they will eventually become a disaster in the Arab world." Such an ending is tantamount to planting a time bomb for the Arab world. The day when the monster emerges from the ghost tomb is the beginning of catastrophic destruction. "Below is an underground river, running from southwest to northeast, and the current is very fast." Fang Xing turned his head and reported. Although we have already put on the diving system, we are still easy to be washed into the rock crevice and get stuck when the water potential is unknown.I crossed Ruthless and landed at Fang Xing's position. I stepped on the top of the waves with my toes tentatively a few times, and the water was really turbulent. "Let's huddle together and try to maintain balance." I can still keep calm, the more difficult I am, the more down-to-earth I have to move forward step by step. Relentlessly falling slowly, the three of us hugged each other tightly, let go of the rope, and dived into the water. I couldn't see anything in my sight, and I could only hear the sound of rushing water in my ears, and my body moved forward rapidly with the current, constantly bumping into the stone walls on both sides.I feel that the direction of the river is a huge arc, going around to the front left. This feeling is like sitting on a spiral slide in a water park.However, at that time the sun was shining brightly and there were laughter and laughter, but now it was pitch black and life and death were uncertain. I held on as relentlessly as I could, lest she get swept away.Among the three, her martial arts is the worst, so she deserves more care. The feeling of the spiral slide became more and more obvious, and finally we fell vertically from a cliff for five seconds, and fell into a large smooth water with a splash.The water here is still, I stepped on the water hard with both feet, pulling Fang Xing and Wuqing to the surface of the water.The two of them spit out the oxygen mouthpiece and breathed in the moist air with great gulps, with the ecstasy of the survivors showing on their faces at the same time. In the continuous spiral fall, the sense of direction has disappeared, and what's worse, my watch fell to nowhere, my wrist and the back of my hand were severely scratched, and the soaked wounds were white, really terrible. The two of them are not much better than me, but we didn't bother to check the wound, and our eyes were all attracted by a tall building in front of us. "Ghost building, five-fold ghost building!" He ruthlessly shouted, and then shouted in a more fanatical and anxious voice, "Tang Qiang, Tang Qiang, are you there? Where are you..." Her hand was clasped On my shoulders, I straightened up and yelled seventeen or eight times in a row, and didn't stop unwillingly until my voice became hoarse. It is indeed a seemingly "normal" building, with a total of five floors. It has a square appearance without complicated decorative details such as cornices and brackets. It is about the same as a five-story concrete slab building commonly seen in slums. It is just houses stacked on top of each other. The house has a total of five floors. Fang Xing let go of the ruthless hand in displeasure, and swam silently towards the slab building. I supported my ruthless arm with one hand, water skied with only my left arm, and followed Fang Xing.Now that we have seen the five-level ghost building, we must be on the fifth floor of the ghost tomb, and according to the clues of the black blood bug, we will soon see Tang Qiang. The air was very humid, and the cliff waterfall behind us was flowing endlessly. The white water flow plummeted down from a height of 40 meters, completely cutting off everyone's escape route. Twenty minutes later, we went up the rocky bank exhaustedly and walked towards the strange building. Although the ghost building drawn by Wuqing is simple and crude, at least there are some decorations, so that people can see the style of which country it belongs to.The building in front of him not only has no style at all, its existing condition is even worse.The outer walls of the buildings with one to five floors are covered with moss half an inch thick. Countless water plants are mixed among the moss, like a girl's long hair, hanging down softly, accompanied by the dense moisture blowing from the water. The money is swaying. "Ghost building? I want to see if there are any ghosts in it!" Fang Xing got angry when he touched the topic of the relationship between Wuqing and Tang Qiang, and deliberately confronted her. The ground of the stone bank has not been specially repaired. It is bumpy and uneven, and most of the sunken places are full of water. The reason for this phenomenon should be that the lake here often does not reach the shore.Looking at the appearance of the outer wall of the building, it is very likely that the flood once submerged the entire house, otherwise there would be no weird phenomenon of aquatic plants climbing the wall. Our heads will certainly not be a cloudless clear sky, but a dark rock dome, about fifty or sixty meters high, basically on the same level as the starting point of the waterfall. For the time being, I don't care about what's in the haunted building. I mainly focus on observing the surrounding terrain to avoid greater danger.Taking ten thousand steps back, if the murderous beast escapes from the treasure house, rushes through the hole in the bronze bell, and then jumps into the ancient well, it will definitely arrive here soon and become our most terrifying enemy. The stone bank is so spacious, if we are attacked by monsters coming from all directions, the three of us will be powerless to resist.The most urgent task is to enter the building and prepare the necessary defensive measures. Fang Xing walked in a hurry, and was the first to reach the stone steps outside the building. He suddenly stopped and shouted: "Tang Qiang——" Wuqing and I thought she had spotted Tang Qiang, and looked up the steps, but saw nothing. "Hahahaha, I lied to you to play! There are not even half a crab in such a ghostly place, how could you see Tang Qiang?" She had laughed enough, bent over and sat on the steps tiredly, and beat her legs hard. There are no doors and windows on the building, only bare doorways and windows, like weird wounds one after another. "He's here, I can feel it. Tang Qiang, Tang Qiang..." Wuqing yelled again. I sat down next to Fang Xing and stared at the mouth of the waterfall in the distance, feeling more and more worried about my current situation. "Mr. Shen, what did you do? Before we went down the well, it felt like a magnitude 7 earthquake. Wuqing almost fell into the well. Fortunately, I caught her in time." Fang Xing took off his shoes and put the inside The water was poured out and placed next to him. The supplies we carry with us are packed in tight waterproof and moisture-proof packaging, so we don’t have to worry about being soaked in dirty water and making them inedible. It’s just that the wet clothes are tightly attached to the body, which is extremely uncomfortable. "I detonated the mines in the vault—" I only said half a sentence, Fang Xing yelled angrily and interrupted me, "What? What about the gold, it was blown up all over the sky? You, you... oh!" He lowered his head, pouted and stopped talking. Such a violent explosion would indeed shatter the jeep and the gold bar box into fragments that cannot be cleaned up, but we should be soberly aware that even if there is so much gold, the possibility of bringing it safely to the ground is too small.Originally, there was only a problem of impassable paths, but now a group of monsters have to be added. "An adult killer beast was inside, and a dozen other smaller ones surrounded the wizard. I fired a bazooka, and finally wiped out the most ferocious adult monster, then detonated the mines, retreated back, and joined you." I said it lightly, but only I, the client, understood how intense the situation was. Fang Xing said "Oh", and after a long time, he smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake on you." I shook my head, still frowning, and slowly took off the oxygen cylinder on my back, preparing to take off my diving suit. "Hey, do you have any cigarettes? Give me one. Alas, I haven't smoked for a few days, and my gluttonous intestines are knotted." A lazy voice sounded behind us, and there was a sound of procrastinating footsteps. , a thin, sloppy man sat down next to Fang Xing, and stretched out his hands to us. My hand stopped in mid-air, staring at him blankly. "Smoke? Is there any? Talk to you?" He smiled wearily, and clapped his palms hard, making a crisp "pop". Fang Xing put his hand into his arms, took out a sealed plastic bag, unwrapped three layers of transparent tape, and then carefully took out a box of Marlboro cigarettes and a lighter with a vulture carved on it, and pointed them at the man. "Oh? The famous snitch, Ms. Fang, is also a smoker? That's all right. This Mr. Shen doesn't smoke or drink. He aspires to be a good man. I know he won't be able to ask for cigarettes. Thank you, Miss Fang, thank you Miss Fang—" He took the cigarette from Fang Xing's hand, held it in his mouth, lit it with Fang Xing's lighter, took two greedy puffs, and burned almost half of a cigarette. None of the three of us spoke again until the man finished smoking a cigarette and slammed the cigarette end under his feet before punching me in the ribs through Fang Xing: "Hey, Shen Nan, I called you here earlier If you don’t come, will you finally be willing to set foot on the land of Iraq? This time, I must ask for your help. A mechanism that was originally very simple requires four people to operate it at the same time. Alas, my famous lone tomb robber Tang Qiang unexpectedly I also need help from others, either I am crazy, or the person who designed this mechanism is crazy!" He is Tang Qiang, a Chinese-American tomb robber who claims to be the "King of Tomb Robbers" forever in the 21st century. A box of Marlboro cigarettes was smoked one by one by Tang Qiang and Fang Xing within five minutes, leaving only an empty box on the ground. "Now, let's get down to business?" Tang Qiang stood up contentedly. His body was thin, dry from head to toe, without any excess fat.Such a body shape is most suitable for practicing bone shrinking skills, and his bone shrinking skills are unrivaled in the world. Only a few old monks over 70 years old in India can match him. Wuqing just rushed upstairs to find someone, and only now withdrew angrily. When he saw Tang Qiang, he was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes quickly, yelled, jumped down, and threw himself into Tang Qiang's arms. Laughing together. "What Fang Xing said is indeed true." I can see the extraordinary relationship between them, so the various performances of Wuqing in Hong Kong Island are just a play?It's really a play, and who is it for? In fact, whether she is Tang Qiang's younger sister or a woman, it doesn't matter much, and she didn't really enter my heart at all.After Mai Yi's appearance and Liang Ju's tragic death, my life trajectory has been disturbed, and I have no intention of being romantic. Even when I am facing the beauty as Fang Xing and the elegance as Yexi, I always focus on big things and don't talk about personal relationships with my children. Fang Xing winked at me: "Come on, let's go to the building?" We got up quietly, walked through the gate, and went up a spiral staircase.According to common sense, if there are any secrets in the "Five Layers of Ghost Building", they will usually be hidden in the highest place, that is, somewhere on the fifth floor. "What is Tang Qiang looking for here?" As soon as Fang Xing opened his mouth, the smell of smoke wafted towards me. I don't like smoking girls very much, so I frowned slightly: "What are you looking for? Think about it, he was looking for King Solomon's seal for others, and Leng Qi stayed outside to respond. However, now it seems that his purpose is not just that One, just like you, Miss Fang." We walked up the stairs, tacit understanding. The fifth floor was empty, except for the square windows and mossy corners, there was almost nothing worth looking at. "An empty building? The empty building under the ghost tomb, is someone playing tricks on us?" Fang Xing approached the window resentfully, looking at the waterfall in the distance. I have observed carefully, from the first floor, there is no secret mechanism, only an empty house, not even a stone bed or stone bench.From the first floor to the fifth floor, moss grows the most, which further strengthens the judgment that "the building was flooded".When the building was soaked in water, except for the real gold and silver that could escape the fate of decomposition, other objects had already decayed and fallen off, just like the souvenirs attached to the "five-story ghost building" described by Ruthless.
