Endless route

Chapter 348 118. There are people and heavy machine guns over there

Several helicopters flew to the No. 3 ancient city at night and saw the No. 3 archaeological team's camp in the distance. It was located in the swamp to the west of the lake and was almost the same size as the Collapse Lake camp.

Zheng Yun had already learned about the situation here in detail under Li Wu's introduction. It was completely different from the Sunken Lake Camp.

Although the No. 3 Ancient City District was the first to experience strange situations at midnight, members of the archaeological team sent garbled text messages to the emergency center one after another, suspected to be affected by Qili's strange dream.

But at this moment.

Qili Weimeng did not affect the camp.

Archaeological team No. 3 did not observe or feel the existence of Qili Meng, and only a small number of members would suddenly sleepwalk.

According to Zheng Yun's speculation.

This should be because the camp of the No. 3 archaeological team is very far away from the source of Qili Meng, or because the Qili Meng here has not fully exerted its influence.

There is another situation.

The No. 3 archaeological team does not know the location of the Royal Expedition. The last time the two parties met was a few days ago. The other party entered the rainforest without a trace, and they did not know where the camp was hidden.

The specific situation is quite complicated.

There are several Western expedition teams here in Ancient City No. 3. The archaeological team has the location and situation of most of the expedition teams, but the Royal Expedition Team cannot be found.

The archaeological team has drones in hand.

All expedition camps could be found by looking down from the heights of the swamp rainforest and searching through the midnight lights, but this method did not work for the Royal Expedition.

The team's camp is not on the surface.

They had drilled into a certain space underground in the No. 3 ancient city at least half a month ago. Gu Bo only saw some kayaks transporting supplies, which roughly circled an area.

But no one knows.

Where did this royal expedition get to, and what did they do deep underground?

The archaeological team has never paid attention to this issue.

Because the No. 3 archaeological team also made a major discovery. They found an ancient building deep underground, which contained a large number of ancient books sealed in wooden boxes, but it was completely submerged in the mud.

The condition of these ancient books is very poor. They are mixed with mud and are like mud. Every page is difficult to open and will be damaged if there is a slight movement.

The No. 3 archaeological team has been carrying out rescue and salvage work these days. No one knows how much they can save in the end, but this part of the work distracts them perfectly.

Captain Zheng, how can we find him?

After Li Wu explained the situation, he had a headache. The No. 3 archaeological team could not provide help and could not mobilize manpower to support them. They even refused to land the helicopter for fear of damaging the ancient books.

This is a bit embarrassing.

They hurried over, but couldn't even enter the camp, and could only land in the dark and humid swamp rainforest.

The most critical thing is that they don't even know where they will land. They don't have any location information about the Royal Expedition, so the helicopter can only circle in the sky over the rainforest.

No hurry, wait for the call.

Zheng Yun put away his phone and looked down.

The helicopter hovered over the rainforest. Within a radius of ten kilometers, there were only four or five weak lights. Ninety-nine percent of the area was shrouded in deep night.

The mist spreads in all directions.

The midnight rainforest brings a subtle sense of danger to people. It has existed from ancient times to this day and has given birth to countless weird swamp creatures. It is a blind spot in human cognition.

See more clearly at high altitude.

The rainforest is full of traces of strange creatures: there are large tracts of woods entangled with dark red threads that resemble spider webs, and there are several swamp lakes completely filled with dark green plants.

Especially the latter.

The entire lake is estimated to be twenty to thirty meters deep and covers an area of ​​one square kilometer. The lake water is extremely clear, even eerily clear, and you can see the bottom from the top at a glance.

But this lake is full of dark green vines crisscrossing vertically and horizontally, spreading from the deepest part to the lake surface, spanning a distance of two kilometers to the left and right, making the entire lake appear green.

The helicopter's searchlights flashed downwards.

The light penetrates the lake water to the depths.

The green vines seemed to be glowing, showing a transparent green light, with clear veins covering the entire bottom of the lake.

The helicopter looked very small in the sky above the big lake. The entire lake gave off a texture like the gate of hell, as if it could be turned around at any time and swallow the helicopter into the lake.

There is actually no danger.

The scenery is very strange.

It has a shocking visual impact.

Brother Zheng, what can we do? Tell your brothers how to find the Royal Expedition. Is it to observe the Feng Shui of the rainforest?

Huzi couldn't help but ask.

The situation was already clear, and they now had no way of knowing the location of the Royal Expedition, but Zheng Yun took his time and kept looking at the rainforest below.

This move looked very much like observing Feng Shui, and Zheng Yun also asked the helicopter to circle nearby, turning the entire No. 3 Ancient City back and forth several times.

That's more like it.

Wouldn't it be necessary to calculate the whereabouts of the Royal Expedition through the Feng Shui trend of the rainforest? It is similar to the scenes in some tomb robbery dramas, looking for dragons and gold to watch the entangled mountains...

This is a secret, can I tell you?

The thin Xiao Hu answered the question through the intercom.

What is Brother Zheng's background? Let alone observing Feng Shui, even if he steals the secrets out of thin air and calculates the location of the Royal Expedition, there is nothing to make a fuss about.

Because it's a science.

The ancients of the Ming Dynasty were particular about choosing the location to build a city. This particular emphasis was on Feng Shui. As long as you master the laws of the ancients, you can indeed find the ruins through Feng Shui trends.

Most people can't grasp it.

But Zheng Yun and Jidao took them directly across the mountains and rivers to the Tiangong. They saw the ancient charm and scenery of the Tiangong, and they also made it clear that they were heirs of a certain industry and must know these things.

Indeed, just ask a few questions.

Hu Ruihua discouraged Hu Zi from talking too much.

Speaking of this, I'm really curious. The ancient city of Nanze was submerged in silt. The ancient Feng Shui has been destroyed. The current rainforest rivers only appeared after the city was built.

In this case, how can we find the ruins through Feng Shui trends? There is not even a mountain here.

Li Wu also spoke curiously.

He also believed that Zheng Yun had this ability. After all, Zheng Yun had the structural diagram of the ancient city's sewers from the beginning, but this was different from Feng Shui, and it was different from finding ruins.

Don't listen to Huzi's nonsense. I'm not observing Feng Shui, and I don't intend to find the target through Feng Shui.

Zheng Yun looked at Li Wu helplessly explaining.

It didn't matter if others were led astray, but Li Wu couldn't. After all, he was on the archaeological team and had to remain professional.

Then pass what?

Huzi asked again.

Master Yun has someone over there. If there is any news, he will report it to the police. Do you understand? Jidao was asked endlessly. Anyway, we are all our own people here, so we might as well reveal something to them.

Which way is that?

Huzi was stunned for a moment.

That's over there, don't you understand? Xiao Hu glanced at Hu Zi, despising him for being brainless.

Oh, I understand.

Huzi nodded in realization.

What do you understand? Xiao Hu continued to ask.

It means ghost dream over there. Some people refer to the ghost in the ghost dream. After the Royal Expedition enters the ghost dream, the ghost in the dream will tell Brother Zheng in the dream. Huzi said confidently.

...

Everyone was speechless.

What on earth are you thinking? Xiao Hu rubbed his forehead.

Because Brother Zheng is not... Huzi glanced at Xiaohu. He wanted to explain but held it back.

He has a complete chain of logic.

Zheng Yun was able to control the Yin soldiers and ghost generals in the Underworld Pavilion, and he appeared as an ancient man in ghost dreams. He came out of the world wearing an immortal outfit, and at first glance he looked like a Ming Dynasty official uniform.

Combining the two.

Won’t the truth come out?

Ghost dreams, aren't they just dreams of ghosts? Brother Zheng can command the dark soldiers and ghost generals, so what's the difficulty in commanding the little ghosts?

What Jidao said, doesn't it mean the underworld among the people? Isn't there someone over there who is a ghostly soldier?

But he didn't say it.

There is no need to expose Brother Zheng's secret in order to prove his 'smartness'. He endured it for the sake of Brother Zheng's secret. If others want to misunderstand him, just misunderstand him.

Buzz buzz.

Zheng Yun's phone vibrated.

He picked up the phone and took a look. It was a reply from Kedester, including their exact location and the latest situation. They decided to open the coffin.

Go to this location.

Zheng Yun's expression changed slightly and he said the coordinates.

Li Wu immediately sent the coordinates to the helicopter pilot, and then asked, What went wrong?

They're going to open the coffin soon.

Zheng Yun told the truth about the situation. He had already told about the black coffin, and he had not concealed the civilization in the coffin.

What should we do? If they open the coffin and reveal an alien civilization, can we still go in?

Huzi's back felt a little chilly.

This is not a trivial matter. I need to report it immediately, okay? Li Wu looked at Zheng Yun for his opinion.

We don't have many weapons.

Hu Ruihua immediately checked the equipment. There were not many firearms on hand, the bullets were all small-caliber, and the firepower was seriously insufficient.

I'm asking where to get weapons.

Li Wu took a deep breath and took out his cell phone to ask.

Well, let me interject, if you need fire support, there is a heavy machine gun in the box in the back, but it will take a few minutes to install it on the helicopter.

The helicopter pilot suddenly interrupted. He had been hearing the conversation behind him, but this was the first time he interrupted.

Heavy machine gun?

Huzi was stunned when he heard this.

Why is there a heavy machine gun hidden on the archaeological team’s rescue helicopter? And how many minutes does it take to complete the installation?

Also, what is the identity of this driver?

He can actually assemble a heavy machine gun?

Actually, every helicopter has one. This matter is highly confidential and will not be used unless absolutely necessary. But don't you want to fight aliens? The conditions for using machine guns apply.

The driver spoke seriously.

But others take it for granted.

Because the situation in front of him was really appalling and extremely dangerous to other people present.

Abandoned Nanze, ruins of ancient cities, ancient buildings with gods and ghosts, deep in the rain forest, underground in swamps, black-haired sarcophagi, suppressed by iron ropes, unsolved cases from the Ming Dynasty, living creatures in the coffins, alien civilizations...

So many keywords are superimposed.

The weirdness of this thing skyrocketed.

They were born in an era of endless sea routes, and countless science fiction works from childhood to adulthood all described 'other civilizations' and dangers that might exist at the end of the sea routes.

Those are all fake.

So far, humans have not found any traces of alien civilization in their exploration of W-42C. At least on the current cliff of the Milky Way, there should be no alien civilization.

But the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty may have been serious.

As the ancestors were the first to explore the Endless Sea Route, no one dared to say whether they had discovered anything unusual, because the ancestors were too mysterious and unpredictable and elusive.

Although they talk about gods, ghosts and immortals every day, everyone in the archaeological team knows that the gods, ghosts and immortals mentioned by their ancestors are all real gods, ghosts and immortals.

The ancestors’ vocabulary was lacking.

When the ancestors saw any strange things, they would point at each other's noses and name them gods, ghosts and fairies.

Even if the ancestor discovered an alien civilization and captured one alive and imprisoned it in a sarcophagus, it would not be impossible, because the ancestor was indeed brave and full of martial virtue.

There are still many Ming military camps where the whereabouts are unknown.

No one is a fool. Who can't see that there is a problem here? Anyone who has a deeper understanding will know that something must have happened to Daming, and it was a terrible thing.

Western practitioners know it all too.

They didn't dare to film the subject of the demise of the Ming Dynasty when making documentaries. This part of the content was just like the forbidden area, and no one studied it deeply.

The current situation is that the royal expedition team discovered the sarcophagus left by the ancestors deep in the ruins, and they want to open it to see the living alien civilization inside.

He and others will have to chase after him.

prevent the situation from getting worse.

But it is very likely that they will be late. After passing through, the sarcophagus will be opened, and they will have to fight with the living creatures in the coffin.

In this situation.

How can we do without weapons?

So the helicopter pilot took the initiative to speak, and as soon as he said it, the nature of the matter had changed.

When the situation reached the point where heavy machine guns were used, it was no longer up to their team to handle it. Instead, the command had to be handed over to the archaeological team.

His words.

The right to command was taken away.

Are you recruited from the army? Are there any other weapons hidden in the camp? Li Wu reacted immediately.

There are not many heavy weapons. Conventional weapons are not suitable in the swamp ecosystem. Using explosive weapons deep in the swamp is tantamount to suicide. Only airborne machine guns are the most powerful.

The driver shook his head.

The situation has not developed to that extent. This sarcophagus has been buried in the mud for hundreds of years. Any living creature is barely surviving and cannot pose a threat if it is alive.

There is no need to use the heavy machine guns. Let's go over and take a look at the situation. If there are any changes, I will handle it. Just keep in communication with Mr. Xu and the others and don't expand the impact.

Zheng Yun opened his mouth to ease the atmosphere.

Regarding the danger of the sarcophagus, he had made detailed reasoning and judgment before, and basically he couldn't be wrong.

Even if the judgment is wrong, this matter cannot be left to the Gubo archaeological team. Modern heavy weapons are difficult to use. It is easy to kill people, but it is difficult to capture living objects in sarcophagi.

Plus Qili Weimeng.

Ordinary people would die if they went in.

You still have to use ghost methods in the ruins of gods and ghosts. If an accident does occur, the Supervisor will have to take action to avoid the casualties of so many ordinary members of the archaeological team.

Zheng Yun, I can listen to you on this matter, but you have to keep an eye on it. I actually don't care, but the rest of the team are young and cannot die in a daze in the ruins.

Li Wu said in a solemn tone.

He has always given people the impression that he is a man who is very good at dealing with people, handles problems in a leisurely manner, is very experienced, is proficient in the rules of the industry, and has a mouthful of Beijing movies.

It's rare to see him look so serious.

And it was aimed at Zheng Yun's seriousness.

Don't worry, you also know that if you encounter a dangerous situation, they don't need to take action. I can handle it.

Zheng Yun also gave a positive answer.

In fact, he didn't think it was a big deal for the Royal Expedition to open the coffin, and he was even happy to let the Royal Expedition open the coffin.

But now after what Li Wu and others said, the atmosphere became extremely serious, as if they were about to have a decisive battle with an alien civilization. Zheng Yun could not help but be affected, and his mood became solemn.

It looks like the plan needs to be changed.

This time I have to cut through the mess quickly and with ruthless force.
