"Although Qin is powerful, ordinary soldiers wear leather armor or stone armor. Only generals at the general level are qualified to use metal armor. Is this man a general?"
"What? General?" Boss Zhang's eyes lit up again. He looked at the ancient corpse in the glass cabinet as if staring at his newlywed daughter-in-law and said, "The general is more valuable! Is there a general's cave down here?"
"..."
Chen Tao was speechless for a while and ignored him.
Turning his head to look at Yang Lixuan, he noticed that he was looking at the ancient corpse with a complicated expression and his brows were furrowed.
"Did...he discover something?"
Just when Chen Tao was about to ask him, Yang Lixuan suddenly turned his head and looked at Chen Tao. The two looked at each other with those deep eyes, which made Chen Tao feel a little weak, and he swallowed the words before he spoke.
Smiling awkwardly, Yang Lixuan remained silent. He glanced at the ancient corpse again, turned around and walked to another place to search.
"What's wrong with this man..." Chen Tao couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
"Did these Japanese discover an ancient tomb underneath? Could it be that the underground man-made structures mentioned in the last words in the notebook are really underground palaces..." Uncle Wang said while looking at the ancient Qin Dynasty corpse in the cabinet.
"They must have discovered something. If this is the owner of the tomb, it's not a good thing... they must have looted everything inside." Uncle Long said solemnly.
I don't know why, but since Chen Tao received the bronze man, he has always felt uneasy in his heart. This uneasiness became more intense after arriving at Heizigou.
Thinking of the possibility of Youdongzi turning into Broken Dongzi, the expressions on everyone's faces became a little gloomy. It was quiet for a moment, no one spoke, everyone was thinking about their own things.
"No matter what happens to this cave, the pot still needs to be propped up. Let's find it first and then talk about it." Yan shrugged.
"That's right. Let's take a break while those rats haven't moved yet. Fill up the bullets in the gun. If we can't find the crack mentioned in the notebook, we have to kill them again!" Uncle Long gritted his teeth. Immediately remove the magazine and start loading.
When we were in the ammunition depot, although many of the guns were rusty, there were still a few usable magazines, and they were all dismantled and taken away.
Chen Tao's bag is still with Shangui. He doesn't know how to use a gun and only has a spare empty magazine on him. Those soul-grabbing rats are very fast, and if he can hit them with one stroke, it's pretty good.
Holding the magazine loaded with bullets in his hand, Chen Tao turned to look at Haozi beside him and saw that he took out a cardboard box from his bag, which was filled with three-inch-long steel nails.
"Hey Haozi, show me!"
Haozi glanced at him, took out a steel nail from the box and threw it at Chen Tao.
This is just the most common steel nail on the market, which can be bought everywhere. The nails had just been unboxed and were shiny under the flashlight. The tips of the nails had been polished and were much sharper than ordinary nails.
Looking at the steel nails in his hands, Chen Tao couldn't figure out how Haozi mastered the nail-throwing technique. He remembered that when he was still in the expressway service area, Haozi flicked his cigarette and accurately threw it into the trash can a few meters away. If it were him, if he could throw it in, he would have bought a lottery ticket today. .
Haozi saw Chen Tao holding the nail and was stunned for a long time, but he didn't care about him. He took out a few steel nails from the box and turned up the sleeve of his left hand. There was something else inside.
There was a circle of elastic band sewn on the inside of his cuffs. Haozi inserted the steel nails in his hands upside down into the elastic band one by one, and wrapped it around neatly. Looking at the carton containing steel nails, it was already mostly empty.
Chen Tao naturally noticed his movements, handed him the nail in his hand and asked, "When did you start learning these?"
"It started the day after I dropped out of school." Haozi didn't even raise his head. He lowered his left hand and turned his sleeve back to its original shape. It was impossible to see that there were so many steel nails hidden underneath. He turned up the cuff of his right hand again and said while inserting it: "Actually, it was my grandfather's intention that I dropped out of school. I am his only grandson. If I don't learn, these things will be lost."
Chen Tao didn't know how to answer him, so he could only pat Haozi on the shoulder. The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
Chen Tao sat under the shelf next to Haozi, watching Haozi take out two more boxes of steel nails from the bag, turn up the cuffs of his legs and insert them all, then neatly rolled up his shirt, and even inserted them into his belt. It's full of steel nails, but the top size is shorter than the one in the cuff.
"I can only be considered a minor success now. If it were grandpa...even if the nails are not sharpened, they can still pierce the board."
By the time Haozi finished messing around, three or four empty boxes had been thrown on the ground. Chen Tao couldn't help but exclaimed: "Holy crap, this guy has so many steel nails stuffed into his body, he's not afraid of piercing himself!"
Compared with Haozi, Chen Tao seems a bit boring.
He only had two magazines, one of which the mountain ghost took away from him because he was too slow and loaded it. While others were checking their equipment, Chen Tao was sitting on the ground alone, leaning on the shelf and looking around.
Yang Lixuan was wiping the blood on the two short guns not far away.
Staring at the cold light reflected on the gun blade, Chen Tao wondered: "Where did he get these two short guns? I didn't see him carrying anything?"
Touching his chin and thinking, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the black painting tube on Yang Lixuan's back.
"Is it so hard to pretend that it's there?"
After roughly comparing the lengths of the two, Chen Tao said with some confusion: "That's not right...the thickness is about the same, but the painting barrel is not as long as these two short guns?"
Clang......
There was a sound of blades, and Yang Lixuan didn't know what he did. In Chen Tao's surprised look, the two sharp gun blades retracted into the gun body with a swish.
"Holy shit! What kind of high technology is this!" Chen Tao almost stood up.
Somewhere on the other side, Yan, who was sitting on the table playing with a detonator, was squinting at the two short guns in Yang Lixuan's hands, thinking to himself: "You have to tell the news to the boss after you go out, or... ...." Looking at the detonator in his hand, he threw it and then caught it in his hand. He smiled evilly and said: "Take it back..."
"Okay, get ready to go." Uncle Long put the gun on his shoulder and walked to the back door of the specimen room with his bag on his back.
The banging sound outside had disappeared. The mountain ghost used a shovel to pry open a small gap in the rusty iron sheet on the door. Uncle Long held up a flashlight and squinted his eyes outside and said, "Those rats seem to have dispersed."
"Then... do you want to go out?" Chen Tao stood up from the ground and asked Uncle Long.
Uncle Long didn't answer, he frowned and thought, but Yan stepped out and played with the thunder pipe in his hand:
"Let me go out first to see if there is anything wrong. Once the tube is down, I will have time to escape even if there is danger."
Everyone had checked the surrounding situation before, and there was no other way out except the two iron doors at the front and back.
"There seems to be no other way..." Uncle Wang looked at the crowd and said.
"I'll cover you from behind." The mountain ghost clicked the gun bolt and loaded it.
Yan looked back at Shangui and smiled with the corner of his mouth tilted upward:
"Very well, let's go!"
The back door was locked with the lock on the inside. In order not to disturb the rats outside, Yan poured sulfuric acid to break the iron lock.
Uncle Long asked Boss Zhang to bring sulfuric acid. This is a specially made strong acid that can corrode the thick walls in the tomb in a short time.
Even if it is an arm-thick iron chain, it will disappear within half a minute after being thrown in.
In order to prevent theft, many ancient tombs will use a glutinous rice juice mixture or molten iron to pour the soil or gaps in the masonry in the tomb to make the tomb stronger.
To deal with those tombs that have been poured with iron juice or glutinous rice juice, former tomb robbers have summed up an effective method through long-term practice, which is to directly pour excrement water.
Practice has proven that this is a very low-cost method for tomb robbing. Tomb robbers make full use of the acidity of excrement and can effectively corrode iron objects. As long as they are not afraid of getting dirty, tired, and smell of excrement, there is still great hope. As long as the gap is opened, it will be much easier to enter the tomb later.
The ancients did not have powerful explosive means such as detonators, so they could only use local materials and choose these "high-quality and low-price" things. But when using dung water, one drawback is that it requires persistence for a long time. After all, dung water is not a highly corrosive sulfuric acid. Three or two days will not work. You must be prepared for a protracted war.
But this was before after all, and it is different now.
With sulfuric acid, blocked tomb walls can be opened easily and silently in a short period of time. For ancient tombs that are too close to residential areas, sulfuric acid is more reliable than explosives.
After unlocking the iron lock, Uncle Long pressed one hand on the door and looked at Yan beside him and said
"Prepare!"
The mountain ghost and the others either raised their guns and took aim, or grabbed a few steel nails.
Chen Tao noticed that Yang Lixuan beside him did not use his short gun at this time, but held a glass bottle in his hand, which contained a dark red liquid. Judging from his posture, it seems that if anything happens, he will throw the bottle out.
"Could it be another panacea?" Although Chen Tao was curious, he had no time to pay attention to Yang Lixuan.
Uncle Long opened the back door. As soon as Yan took a few steps out, he heard a shout:
"Damn it! Close the door quickly! These rats are so damn fine!"
