Views:

Zi Yang and Lao Wang put Alexander down, walked forward, and saw Su Rui frowning and staring at the computer screen-at the end of the "root system", a huge spherical cave appeared.

Su Rui said: "From the scale, the front is a cavity with a diameter of tens of meters. Although there are some weak signals at the corners, it can be seen that the coil is closed."

Dead end? Everyone felt cold, and they came to the end.

A few people stopped silently, it seemed unnecessary to go forward, and there was no way out in the future.

Zi Yang Qiang spiritedly said: "I'm all here, let's take a look. Maybe there is no cave inside?" Although he knows that the opportunity is slim, there is still a glimmer of hope in Zi Yang's heart. There is an old Chinese saying that "If you don't see the coffin, you will never fall." Tears, don’t give up until the Yellow River", in fact, sometimes it can be understood as inspiration.

At the moment, everyone lifted Alexander and continued to move forward. After walking for more than ten meters, the front passage suddenly opened up, and a huge cave appeared in front of him. The cave was strange and the terrain was rugged.

The terrain in the cave is too complicated, and Su Rui's sonar detector cannot accurately display the internal environment. At this time, we can only play the role of manpower.

Lao Wang and Zi Yang placed Alexander at the entrance of the cave, unloaded their backpacks, each with a probe in each hand, and walked forward cautiously. I hope that we will not encounter Smoke Soul, monitor lizards and other messy monsters here, and both of them are praying silently in their hearts.

have water! The two of them traveled more than ten meters, bypassing a few strange rocks, and a flat depression appeared in front of them. In the middle was a deep blue faint spring. The old Wang threw himself excitedly, kneeling on the sand by the water. Drink when you get up.

Zi Yang's eyes were quick and his legs were quick, and he flew up and rolled him over.

Lao Wang jumped up and asked Zi Yang to tear it up.

Su Rui said, "You can't drink!!"

Lao Wang squeezed his fist and stopped in the air and asked, "What?"

Su Rui said, "Don't you think the color of this water is weird?"

Su Rui dipped his finger and placed it on the tip of his tongue: "Yes, this is brine."

"What is brine?" Obviously, Lao Wang didn't listen to the lecture well in his chemistry class.

Zi Yang said: "The main components of brine are sodium chloride and potassium salts, which humans cannot drink! Strangely, it is good to have brine in the Lop Nur stratum, but we are already tens of meters below, how can there be such liquid brine? ?"

Su Rui looked at the instrument and said, "To be precise, this is 98 meters underground." Everyone looked at each other, unknowingly they had come down so deep.

Everyone looked up, the caves were full of strange rocks, and the lights could not show the whole picture. Su Rui said vigilantly: "Settle Alexander down first. We will survey the terrain in teams of two to see if there are other intersections... and creatures. "

The crowd lifted Alexander to a flat ground by the pool, and the instruments and equipment were gathered together.

Zi Yang said: "Timuel will help look at Alexander, let's go to the cave to explore."

Timur rolled his eyelids noncommittal, meaning I knew it.

Su Rui turned on another smaller LED light, although it was much smaller than the one just now, but the light was enough to illuminate a range of more than ten meters.

At the moment, Lao Wang is in a group with Zi Yang, and Su Rui is in a group with Xiao Hei. The four people are divided into two directions, and they are advancing along the walls on both sides. Tens of meters away, you can see each other's lights flickering. At the central pool, Timur took out a machete and squatted on the stretcher, watching the surroundings vigilantly.

This calm guy is also getting nervous, Zi Yang thought to himself.

The old Wang next door complained, "Why don't you arrange for me to be with Su Rui? Did you deliberately separate us?"

Zi Yang said, "Xiao Hei has better skills, and he can protect Su Rui if there is any accident—when is the time, why do you still have the thoughts on this?"

This reason also made the next door Lao Wang unable to refute, and he continued to grumble: "You bastard, I just had such a cruel kick, and my hips were aching! Alas, the legs are dark enough. Have you been plotting for a long time? Isn't it a public revenge You have to give me an extra box of canned food when I'm going to eat, I have to heal my injuries."

Zi Yang sighed, "I was kind enough to save your life, but you don't know how to be grateful! That's right, I did it deliberately, who made you forget your righteousness!"

The two clamored and quarreled while walking. The cave was a circular structure, about the size of two football fields. After a while, the two groups of people met again. Su Rui looked at Zi Yang and shook his head. Zi Yang was also disappointed. Sitting down, I observed carefully on the cave wall just now, let alone the intersection, there is no hole as big as Lao Wang's head.

Suddenly, Su Rui seemed to see something out of the LED light, "Hey, there seems to be someone over there..."

Following Su Rui's gaze, everyone saw that a person appeared ten meters away from them, half of his body was hidden behind the rock, as if secretly observing them.

Everyone was tight and their scalp was numb. Timur and Alexander were clearly on the other side of the pool. Could there be other people in this mysterious cave

Just now, everyone was only observing whether there was a way out on the cave wall, and no one noticed that there was something going on in the cave. In addition, the terrain inside the cave was uneven, and the lights could not fully illuminate the panorama. At this time, under the concentrated illumination of the two LED lights, the fuzzy outline became clear, and it was indeed a person!

So bold, he didn't hide!

Everyone was in trouble for a while, and the atmosphere did not dare to take a breath. Numerous thoughts flashed in Zi Yang's mind: Who is this? How long have you been here? Do you want to go up and say hello

While he was still thinking about countermeasures, the mindless Old Wang had picked up a large stone in his fist from the ground and threw it over with a whistling sound.

Zi Yang Xin mentioned her throat, slapped, the stone hit the "person"'s shoulder accurately, and the person's bone fell in response.

Everyone looked at each other, this is simply too unexpected, the other party is so vulnerable.

Zi Yang made a gesture to let Su Rui stay in place, and the other three people moved forward in three directions and moved forward slowly.

Lao Wang was "a man of great courage", climbed a few steps away from that person, suddenly straightened his waist, holding a big rock in his hand, and shouted like a Hong Zhong, "Don't move! Raise your hand. !"

Zi Yang and Xiao Hei also rushed over.

Lao Wang looked intently, and his loud voice rang again: "Temadi, it's a skeleton, scared me to sweat!" He walked over and kicked him.

Seeing that the corpse didn't mean to violently hurt people, everyone walked forward with confidence.

Su Rui placed the LED light on a high place, and everyone could see that this "person" had no idea how long he had been dead, his clothes had rotted into pieces, and his body had become a skeleton. The upper body should have been leaning on the rock just now, but was broken up by the heroic old Wang with a stone.

Zi Yang noticed that there seemed to be something in the corpse. Kneeling down to look through, Su Rui stopped him and said, "Wait," he got up and ran to the place where they put their backpacks.

The old Wang next door rubbed his chin and exclaimed, "This girl is so handsome to run!"

After a while, Su Rui ran back with a backpack, pulled out two pairs of rubber gloves from inside, and handed them to Zi Yang, "Put on, be careful of poison."

Zi Yang couldn't help sighing for Su Rui's carefulness. Since entering the cave, he has been cold and cold towards her. Unexpectedly, this girl still takes care of herself.

Su Rui didn't seem to see Zi Yang's grateful gaze. He squatted down and put his hands behind the ears of the hair scattered beside the temples during the run, and carefully looked at the pile of rags.

Under the reflection of the light, Su Rui's action of bending over and taking possession formed a perfect profile, and Pharaoh was staring blankly beside him.

Zi Yang shook his head secretly, squatting down to see what Su Rui had discovered.

Under the pile of clothing, Su Rui found a black-handled dagger like a hunting knife, and looked at it under the light. There was a silver eagle embedded in the hilt. The scabbard was decayed, and the blade was still shining. Han Guang seems to have a sharp blade, with four words engraved in strange letters on the blade.

"Meireue", Su Rui said softly.

"What do you mean?" Zi Yang asked.

"My-honor-was-loyalty, the engraved on it is in German, and translated into Chinese it means'honor is loyalty.'"

"It's amazing, I know many English languages!" The old Wang next door was flattering beside him.

"It's rare and weird. Su Rui is from a family of scholars. Knowing a few foreign languages is a trivial matter. Besides, foreign children start elite education from a young age, and mastering a few foreign languages is a necessary skill." Zi Yang's attitude has also changed a lot, expressing it in a timely manner Admiration.

"I can speak several foreign languages, Shandong dialect, Northeastern dialect, Mandarin, Shanghai dialect..." The old Wang next door refused to accept him.

Su Rui ignored the flattery of the two, holding the dagger and meditating there. Zi Yang continued to search through the pile of decayed clothes, and found another fragment, which looked like an epaulette on a military uniform, "Hey, what is this? Two lightning-like symbols."

Lean carefully identified it in front of his eyes, was taken aback, and glanced at Su Rui, "Nazi SS?!"

Seeing Su Rui's confirming eyes, Zi Yang gasped again, "How could this Nazi SS appear in this cave?"

Lao Wang also sighed beside him: "A foreigner came to China not far away and died silently in a cave. Is this the spirit of design?"

Zi Yang wondered and said, "Germany had never directly fought with China in World War II. How could there be a SS here?"

Su Rui did not answer his question, touching the blade of the hunting knife and said, "This dagger is not something ordinary people can have. His owner should also have a high status in the SS. There should be other representative identities nearby. s things."

Old Wang twisted his head a few times and said, "Except for a pile of tattered clothes and a few bones, there is nothing else. It seems that this SS is also very poor."

Su Rui didn't answer, and used a dagger to test in the sand beside the corpse. After a while, his eyes lit up, and it seemed that he had hit something hard.

Zi Yang smashed the sand with his hands, and a few centimeters below it turned out a tarp-wrapped object. It seemed that the owner was also in a hurry when he buried it, and didn't dig too deep.

Su Rui took apart the tarp, and inside was an iron box. Because it was wrapped in the tarp, it was not rusty and opened easily.

There was a leather notebook in the iron box, a folding wallet on top, and a yellow skull ring underneath. Zi Yang leaned forward and looked at it. The ring was engraved with a few strange letters, surrounded by oak tree patterns, and the ring A string of letters and a date are engraved on the inside.

Su Rui took the ring and said, "This person has an unusual identity. I have seen imitations of this skull ring abroad. It is very rare. It was personally presented by Himmler, the leader of the SS. It was made by hand, and only from the SS. Only elites and cronies will be awarded."

Lao Wang was more concerned about the contents of his wallet. When he opened the mezzanine inside, there were only a few rotten banknotes and a yellowed and severely corroded photo on which three people could be seen faintly.

There were only these three things in the iron box and nothing else. The old Wang next door was a little disappointed. He thought he could find a few gold bars or something.

Zi Yang looked at the notebook. It was about 2 fingers thick. The cowhide wrapped around it was also printed with patterns, and the paper was very particular about it. It was still well preserved after so many years.

Su Rui opened the notebook. There was a beautiful line of letters on the title page. Su Rui's lips moved slightly, and he read gently in German.

Zi Yang coughed: "You still speak Chinese."

Su Rui smiled apologetically, said sorry, then cleared his throat, and said: "Don't forget, we will always be a member of the Knight Order, we are blood brothers, and the body and the soul are always connected."

"What do you mean?" The old Wang next door asked innocently with his eyes wide open.

"It doesn't mean anything. It's probably the work of the SS." Zi Yang guessed: "This notebook is probably the diary of this guy. The content is nothing more than self-brainwashing quotations such as being loyal to the revolution and loyal to the party."

Zi Yang stretched his waist and stood up, swept around and there was nothing else, patted his butt and said, "I have been busy for a long time, tired and hungry, Alexander doesn’t know what’s going on. Let’s rest. Let’s go to sleep and discuss what to do."

Su Rui nodded and looked at the digital watch in his hand. Unknowingly, everyone hadn't rested for one day and night.

Although the body of this SS appeared here very inexplicably, after the baptism of various emergencies in the past few days, everyone has become a little immune to "accidents".

Su Rui put away the dagger and ring, holding the notebook carefully in his hand.

Lao Wang held the iron box in his hand and tossed it around, looking like he couldn't put it down.

Zi Yang wondered: "What are you doing with this ghost?"

Lao Wang triumphantly said: "Made in Germany, good quality! Keep it, you can use it as a rice bowl in the future!"

Alas, ignorance is really blessed, I have fallen to this kind of situation, and I still have the mood to go out in the future? For the optimist like Lao Wang, Zi Yang has nothing to say except "admiration".

At this moment, there was a sudden rustling sound behind everyone...
