The roar and echo of the explosion intertwined and circulated throughout the empty cave. The water rippled and continued for a long time before gradually returning to calm.
Everyone opened their eyes, and the bronze pot filled with corpse oil was still burning, like a super-large torch, emitting an unpleasant smell that made people almost nauseous.
Zhang Zhuxun silently took out a gas mask and put it on. Only then did Wu Xie and the others recover from their daze and quickly followed suit. Then they returned to the stone gate that had been bombarded by signal bombs.
The mountain of human bones there had been affected by the big commotion just now, and all the corpses were gone. Your head, his hips, his toes were all scattered together.
The bones that were only blown away by the air waves but were not smashed were stained with corpse oil and sparks. They were still burning at this moment, and the crackling sound was like the alluring sound of beef ribs on the grill.
.
The fat man listened to the sound and swallowed involuntarily. He immediately received several looks from Wu Xie and others that seemed to condemn perverts.
The fat man sniffed, covered his nose, and said in a low voice: "It depends on what the fat man does, this thing stinks."
Everyone was speechless and choked. If it didn't stink, would you still want to take a bite?
After the gag ended, the four people were divided into two groups. Zhang Haike and Fatty went to study the stone door, while Zhang Zhuxun and Wu Xie turned around to observe the bones.
Zhang Zhuxun and the others picked up a few bones from the water that could barely be seen as hand bones, but strangely, no obvious features of the Zhang family were seen on the finger bones.
"It seems that not all people with the surname Zhang need to practice their fingers." Wu Xie looked at Zhang Shuxun for confirmation.
Zhang Zhuxun lowered his eyes and looked at his left hand, "The Zhang family practices hair mound fingering. The better the talent, the fewer fingers are used."
Wu Xie was surprised, "Then these people..."
"There is another possibility. They are the group of people who were singled out as sacrifices, so there is no need to practice." Zhang Zhuxun said calmly.
Wu Xie was startled. It was obviously a very sad thing, but he heard Muyu say it in such an understatement, as if he had long been accustomed to such phenomena, neither angry nor happy, and had long been indifferent to the arrangement of his destiny.
Of.
"No one will resist?" he asked reluctantly.
"Resist?" Zhang Zhuoxun smiled, "The result of resistance is no different. Someone has to do some things."
"In such a family with extremely strict rules, taking the lead will only bring disaster."
It is not only his own disaster, but also the misfortune of everyone.
On the other side, Zhang Haike and Fatty worked together to move the corpse of the centipede that had fallen in front of the stone door to one side. The huge insect shell had been burned until only an empty shell was left. The centipede's head was blown into pieces, and it was almost impossible to see it when put together.
It's no longer the same.
The fat man dragged a long arthropod leg and moved it into the water far away, muttering, this thing looks scary, but when it is cooked, it is no different from roasting a grasshopper.
The two of them groaned for a long time, and finally cleared out the entire area in front of the stone gate.
The two of them came closer to observe the door. The left and right doors were merged in the middle. Zhang Haike raised his hand and knocked on it for a while, and then said: "This should be just an ordinary push door. There is no special mechanism."
The fat man squinted at him and heard him continue, "If it was just a centipede soaked in corpse oil, I don't think this would be the reason why the Zhang family's ancestors decided to seal this place."
"Whoosh?" the fat man said something foreign.
Zhang Haike shook his head and said regretfully: "Why they did that in the first place, I'm afraid it's impossible to verify now."
"Then open the door." Zhang Zhuxun stepped forward and said without hesitation.
The door shaft of the stone door was relatively complete and not broken, but after pushing it, I found that there seemed to be something very heavy behind the door.
"Let the fat man come." The fat man spat into the palm of his hand, eager to give it a try.
Zhang Zhu looked for a few people who moved out of their way obediently and made a "please" gesture.
The fat man took a few steps back, stirred on the spot a few times, stomped his feet in small steps to get ready, and then he turned sideways and rushed forward, using his body as a flesh bomb to hit him. As a result, in the next second, his whole body was blown away.
It bounced back and fell into the water on all fours.
Everyone: "..."
Zhang Haike clicked his tongue twice, "I thought it was going to be violent, but it turned out to be a big one."
The fat man grinned silently in pain, sat up with his hands on his shoulders, and defended himself: "Fat man, it was because his own motive power was insufficient, that's why he made a mistake. Let me try again when I recover."
"Forget it." Zhang Haike waved his hands calmly like an old scholar, as if facing a student who got zero marks in the exam, and said in a heavy tone, "I'll do it."
After saying that, he directly flew up with a kick without any prefix, and landed in the middle of the stone door with a standard kick.
With a "clang" sound, the stone door trembled greatly, and something fell into the water behind the door, and the cracks on the door shaft also widened.
Zhang Haike didn't make a sound, and continued to exert force, kicking three or four times with all his strength. He forcefully kicked out a gap half as wide as a person's side between the two stone doors, and then he Shi Shiran retracted his legs.
Wu Xie stared at his face that was exactly the same as his but slightly cunning. He swallowed quietly and thought to himself, I have a mother. This is a scene where a large mutated ape erectus shows off its power. His legs are made of iron.
?!
"Who can get in first and take a look?" Zhang Haike said, "I feel like there is something heavier behind me."
"I..." Wu Xie raised his hand. If he didn't work harder, he would really be no different from the little loser who was trapped in a creaking nest.
"I'll go." Zhang Zhuxun had already taken off his backpack and moved his bones to make himself narrower and shorter. "The door is a palm thick. If you go in, it will get stuck again."
Wu Xie retracted his hand silently in shame, as if he was an incompetent mule and a tired horse.
The fat man patted his shoulder with relief, "Just get used to it. There will be many more days like this in the future. We mortals also have the advantages of mortals."
Wu Xie was a little relieved, but also looked forward to it, "For example?"
"For example, Fatty can endure hardships and is not afraid of hardships. For example, if you are naive and have a good brain, you can take away any troubles you have." What the fat man said was true.
Wu Xie snorted coldly, broke off half a piece of compressed biscuit and blocked his mouth.
After shrinking his bones, Zhang Zhuxun looked like a thin boy. He swung himself towards the crack of the door and slipped in as smoothly as a piece of paper.
Wu Xie and the others hurriedly stuck the fire folding piece on the head of the engineer's shovel and stuffed it in. They placed their eyes on the crack of the door and tried their best to look in.
I saw Zhang Zhuxun walking up one level at a time like stone steps, and lighting a cold firework inside near the door.
After the light came on, Wu Xie and the others followed the crack in the door from top to bottom and saw the lines on the surface of the so-called stone steps that Zhang Zhuxun walked on, as well as the thing blocking the crack in the door. It was also a piece of bronze, lying sideways on the water.
Inside, the surface has been completely rusted beyond recognition.
The fat man sneered, "It's just this crap again, doesn't it have anything new to open my eyes?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the piece of bronze behind the heavy door leaf moved, and then a face appeared behind the gap.
Like a kid playing hide-and-seek, he quietly poked half of his head out and looked at them curiously.
