Xiao Zhang regretted very much why he didn't take Xiao Wang with him when he came over. At least the two of them could be companions and not be so lonely.
"Turn on the flashlight."
As Zhou Sheng's voice fell, Liu Ruyan's flashlight shone into the center of the rough room, and Xiao Zhang's hanging heart finally dropped.
What appeared in front of everyone was Qi Ziyu kneeling in the center of the room.
In front of Qi Ziyu, there was a long chain hanging from the roof.
Qi Ziyu reached out blankly and tugged on the chain in front of her.
The chain is very strong. Although it is made of iron, it has no rust at all.
Just before Qi Ziyu had time to let go of his hand, the chain suddenly began to carry him upward!
Qi Ziyu was startled, and quickly climbed onto the chain with both hands and feet, hugging it tightly.
Liu Ruyan shined the light of the flashlight upward along Qi Ziyu's ascent.
People saw that above Qi Ziyu's head, a whole wall with chains was rising at the same time.
Until his body rose higher than the ceiling and passed through the hole in the wall.
Qi Ziyu swung half a step away and landed on the ground on the upper floor.
Immediately afterwards, the wall and chains swayed down again, landing in front of everyone.
Liu Ruyan looked up under the light. When the chain fell completely to the bottom, the wall above her head fit perfectly with the surroundings, and it was impossible to see that it could move up and down flexibly.
"This, why does it look like the current elevator..." Xiao Zhang looked at this scene dumbfounded and couldn't help but say.
This way of crossing floors straight up and down is indeed like the current elevator.
It's just that the energy source of the elevator is electricity. There was no such thing in that era, so the rise of the wall should have relied on some kind of mechanical force.
Zhou Sheng now somewhat understood why they had walked deeper along the corridor for so long before reaching the tomb. It turned out that the tombs here had already adopted a layered structure.
He stepped forward, followed Qi Ziyu's example just now, and tugged down on the chain again.
Sure enough, the wall above his head began to rise. Zhou Sheng held the chain with one hand and was steadily taken to the upper level by the mechanical ladder.
Seeing this, several people first tied the chains to the professor, and after sending him up, they followed Zhou Sheng's example and came to the ceiling of this room through the elevator.
When everyone came up, they discovered an unpleasant situation.
The small group of six people originally had only five people left!
"Qi Ziyu is missing." Zhou Sheng said.
After he followed the chain just now, Qi Ziyu had disappeared.
Zhou Sheng originally wanted to search for it, but after seeing the structure of this floor, Zhou Sheng decided to wait for everyone to come up before taking action collectively.
If the lower layer is too simple and does not have any fancy things, it is obvious at a glance.
So this floor and the next floor are like two extremes. This place is very messy, and the floor alone is dizzying.
The floors here are separated from each other, with different heights and sizes, and they are all hung from each other by chains.
There are treasure boxes placed on some boards, which look very valuable.
Some of the long and wide floors have coffins placed on them, which look very strange.
The messy floor arrangement also blocks people's sight, making it impossible for them to see the upper, lower, left, and right edges at a glance.
If someone is running around on the floor without permission, they are most likely to get separated from others!
Zhou Sheng couldn't help but think of the star hangings Liu Ruyan had previously decorated in the hotel room.
The stars are also of different heights, and are hung from the ceiling by a thread.
The floors in front of me are quite similar to the star hangings, but instead of romantic stars, they are hung on cold boards.
Moreover, some of the floors were beneath their feet, while others were already floating above their heads, making it impossible to see where the ceiling above them was.
"How do we go here?" Xiao Zhang couldn't help but ask.
"Boss, the time you went up was only a few dozen seconds. I think the tour guide's skills are not very flexible. How could he disappear in just a few dozen seconds?"
If you go up across different floors and go up a few steps, it is possible that people below him will not be able to see his figure.
But Xiao Zhang felt that with his skills, it was very difficult to cross the floor suspended by swinging chains.
It is even more impossible for Qi Ziyu to move freely in this area.
Zhou Sheng shook his head slightly. When he came up, he didn't even see any floor shaking.
Even Liu Ruyan, who was very agile, could not have climbed onto the floor in a short period of time and still kept the floor motionless.
"So, there is a high probability that he suffered an accident." Zhou Sheng said.
Of course, there is also a possibility that Qi Ziyu disappeared deliberately in some way, but they haven't found a mechanism that can make people leave quickly.
The suspended floor in this room alone is dangerous enough, let alone what other crises are waiting for them.
Right now, no one has the energy to find the missing Qi Ziyu.
Everyone was silent for a moment, looking a little heavy.
"We work together as a team and never separate again," Xiao Zhang said.
When they first went down the corridor, there were still a large number of them. Later, as many people voluntarily quit, there were fewer and fewer people following them.
In the end, only six of them were left deep into the tomb.
For Xiao Zhang, although the previous experiences were dangerous and their methods of overcoming the crisis were always confusing, at least there was no attrition.
And now, the disappearance of the tour guide is undoubtedly a blow to him.
But Xiao Zhang knew that the more they were hit by this kind of blow, the less they should be depressed, but the more they should cheer up and explore in depth!
What's more, they have no way out and can only find a chance of survival through advancement and exploration.
"If this tomb goes up, then if we climb up along the floor piece by piece, is there a way to reach the upper floor?" Xiao Zhang asked.
He wanted to move people's emotions through his words.
But then, Xiao Zhang discovered that except for Xiao Wang, who was a little uneasy like him, the others didn't seem to be affected at all.
Liu Ruyan had even tied a rope around her waist, and Zhou Sheng was holding the other end of the rope.
"You guys wait here, I'll look up first."
After saying that, Liu Ruyan quickly jumped into the air, stepped onto another floor, pulled up the rope partially, and then repeated the jumping action.
The floors she chose were those with the largest height difference within her reach. Obviously, Liu Ruyan also agreed with the plan of going up.
Among the floors Liu Ruyan passed by, there were treasure chests, coffins, and empty boards with nothing on them.
