From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 445
Chapter 445 (2) Underground Tombs
“Heavens! Isn’t this tomb too big …”
Chen Guangda stood up from the ground in shock. Qiu Shi and the others had already pulled out their flashlights. However, several flashlights still looked dim. This ancient and old tomb had at least one to two hundred square meters. The burglar hole they had slipped down was at the top near the corner. It was actually three to four meters high from the ground.
“This place can’t be buried by some emperor …”
Xia Fei nervously stuck to Chen Guangda’s side. This damn place was emitting an indescribable cold aura, as if it could penetrate into a person’s skin and drill into a bone. It made people feel goosebumps for no reason. Moreover, the humidity here was also very heavy, and the air was filled with an extremely unpleasant smell of mold.
“It’s more or less the same if you’re not an emperor. This specification isn’t something that ordinary officials can possess …”
Chen Guangda raised his flashlight and carefully observed his surroundings. The surrounding walls were already covered with moss, but many exquisite carvings could still be seen through the cracks. There was a passage to the left and right of the tomb, and the dark passageway led to somewhere unknown. At a glance, it was at least several dozen meters long. The cramped shape gave off a sense of danger that was filled with mechanisms everywhere.
“Let’s find something to plug the burglar hole first. We’ll think of a way to get out after the corpse tide leaves …”
Qiu Shi ran to the bottom of the cave and looked up. The roars of the corpses were coming from the cave. However, there was nothing around. Apart from a few broken jars, there was only a rotten table. Chen Guangda could only push Qiu Shi away and lift his gun. He fired a barrel of bullets into the cave.
“Dong dong dong …”
After a deafening gunshot, the mud in the pirate hole collapsed into pieces. The originally slanted pirate hole was quickly blocked, and not even a trace of moonlight could enter. However, Li Cunyou hurriedly went forward and asked, “How are we going to get out if you block the hole? We don’t even have a tool to dig a hole!”
“Don’t worry! The air here is so smooth, it definitely isn’t just this burglar hole …”
Chen Guangda waved his hand confidently. He turned around and looked at Tian Erque behind him. As expected, Tian Erque said, “What he said is correct. This ancient tomb was discovered by us long ago. There are at least three burglar holes that I know of. However, I am not trying to scare you. None of the people who come in here can go out. It is said that there is a thousand-year-old dumpling guarding the tomb here. We can often hear it scream in the middle of the night!”
“So what if it’s a thousand-year-old dumpling? Can it still be more awesome than the fat dumpling on it …”
Chen Guangda shook his head in disdain. This dumpling was naturally meant for zombies made in China. However, zombies didn’t even count as fart in this era when zombies were all over the ground. It was probably quite good to be able to compare to jumping corpses. However, Tian Erque shook his head and said, “This is different. Zongzi are much more evil than zombies. Zongzi are invulnerable to bullets!”
“Aiyo ~ Your father died from the fall …”
Wang Dafu suddenly groaned in pain. He actually woke up with Wang Xi, but a big swollen bag appeared on their heads. Wang Xi’s mouth opened and he retched. Wang Dafu immediately patted her back and said, “You’re miserable. Your symptoms are at least a concussion. But if you kiss my brother, I’ll treat you mercifully!”
“Don’t take advantage of me, don’t even look at this place …”
Chen Guangda hurriedly kicked his butt, but the vulgar Wang Dafu seemed to be a little confused. After examining his surroundings in confusion, he immediately jumped up and cried out, “Holy shit! What the hell is this place? How did we get in here? Don’t tell me this is an ancient tomb!”
“If it weren’t for you falling in, we would have run long ago …”
Chen Guangda rolled his eyes at him angrily. Wang Dafu immediately swallowed heavily. He quickly took out a pill from his bag and fed it to Wang Xi. He swallowed two or three pills in a row before saying in horror, “Let’s find a way to get out. This kind of thousand-year-old tomb is extremely ruthless. If we encounter a big dumpling, we’ll be finished!”
“Since you are in such a hurry, then you should step forward and clear the way for us. Anyway, it’s all because of you that we came in …”
Chen Guangda waved his hand at him impolitely, but Wang Dafu’s fat face suddenly paled. He smiled awkwardly and didn’t even move. However, Qiu Shi said solemnly, “There will definitely be a mechanism in such a large tomb. Those who haven’t gone out will probably be killed by the mechanism. If we go the wrong way, we will definitely die!”
“Finally, I have to charge into the Longtan Tiger’s den. I can’t starve to death here …”
Chen Guangda sighed helplessly. The mechanism in the tomb is completely different from the performance in the movies. It doesn’t mean that you can decipher it if you have experience and are smart enough. Real tomb mechanisms are often very crude and simple. The only purpose is to kill the grave robbers. There is no way for you to survive. It is even more dangerous for rookies like them.
“Which way should we go? Ah Kun, have you come in yet …”
Li Cunyou looked at the two almost identical passageways. Not only were they extremely conflicted, but he didn’t have any clue. Even Tian Erque shook his head blankly. However, Chen Guangda picked up the Wolf Claw Spear and said, “The ancients respected the right, so the real way out was usually on the right side, and the left side was probably a trap set deliberately!”
“But which side is the right? These two sides may be the right …”
Wang Dafu suddenly spun around several times, constantly turning his body around. However, Chen Guangda gave him a bad kick and scolded, “You are the one who broke the most. If you read more, you will know that it is a dilapidated shoe. The Underworld is also a house. All the tombs are located north to south. As long as you face north, you can’t be sure of the left and right!”
“Brother! You are so cultured, you even know this …”
Wang Dafu gave a thumbs up in admiration. However, thinking about it carefully, this was his ability to look after the family. Chen Guangda had helped people earn money from the graveyard before. This gave him some confidence. He lifted his gun like a ghost entering a village. He followed behind Chen Guangda and said, “Brother!” “I’m going to take care of it for you. If there’s anything else, let’s shoulder it together!”
“Stay away from me. If you get nervous later, you’ll definitely blow my head off …”
Chen Guangda pushed the fatty away in annoyance. Holding the Wolf Claw Spear, he walked directly to the right. However, the passage on the right was much smaller than the tomb. If anyone came from the opposite side, they would have to turn sideways. The distance between their skulls and the top of their heads was at most two punches. Chen Guangda felt depressed the moment he walked in.
“Don’t get too close. Keep your distance. If anything happens, don’t panic …”
Chen Guang raised his Wolf Claw Spear and carefully advanced. He kept knocking on both sides of the corridor and listening to the echoes from the ground. As long as there was an empty echo inside, there would definitely be a problem. However, this ancient tomb was much larger than they had imagined. There seemed to be a large tomb at the end of the corridor. If someone had discovered this place earlier, it would definitely be another big news that shook the entire country.
The whole tomb had been quiet to a terrifying degree, This place is at least ten meters away from the ground, There was no longer any sound of the corpse tide moving on it. If it wasn’t for the sound of each other’s breathing, there would definitely be people who suspected that something was wrong with their ears. However, it was this extreme silence that made people uncontrollably nervous. Everyone quickly discovered that their heartbeats had actually overshadowed the sound of breathing.
“Huh?”
Chen Guangda, who was leading the group, was stunned for a moment. He only saw a dusty flashlight appear in front of him. The flashlight was very old-fashioned. It was an antique item with small tungsten filament light bulbs. I’m afraid that I wouldn’t have seen it on the market ten years ago. Furthermore, I could tell from the dust on it that it had fallen here for a long time. It was estimated that there had never been a shortage of grave robbers in this place for so many years.
“Hu ~”
After stepping out of the cramped passageway, Chen Guangda finally breathed a sigh of relief. There were no traps in the passageway, but he still didn’t dare to relax his guard. No one knew if there would be any big moves waiting for them. However, the small tomb in front of him attracted his attention. The furnishings here were like the halls of a wealthy family.
“Yo ~ This is a living room. The owner of this tomb is quite particular …”
Wang Dafu looked around curiously. It’s relatively dry here, Most of the items were well-preserved. Not only were there many exquisite furniture, even daily necessities such as candlesticks, tea bowls, and so on. There were even two large mahogany pillars beside them. In the middle was a large golden plaque with five large traditional golden characters written on it-all visitors were guests!
“This tomb shouldn’t be very old. It looks like it was decorated during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Unfortunately, it was stolen by someone …”
Xia Fei crossed her arms and shook her head with a face full of regret. The grave robbers who came in were like a demolition squad. They scratched the ground three feet and searched for something. Almost all the valuables were taken away. The remaining tea bowls and candlesticks were also damaged and tattered. If the tables, chairs, and stools weren’t too big, they wouldn’t have survived. They almost dug up the ground and searched for it.
“I think this living room was deliberately reserved for people to steal things …”
Wang Dafu scratched his chin and pointed at the plaque above. “This plaque has already made its meaning very clear. Since you are here, we can treat you as a guest. You can take whatever you want, but the guests have to have a guest’s attitude. If the guests dare to continue greedily, they will probably be waiting for a real killing move!” Wang Dafu pointed at the plaque above.
“That’s right, I think so too. I guess there should be a real exit here …”
Chen Guangda nodded in agreement. This was still the design of the left and right passageways. However, there was an ancient wooden door on the right side of the passageway. When Chen Guangda walked over and saw it, there was indeed a row of small words carved on it. A gentleman loved wealth, took it, and was happy and sympathetic!
“No wonder none of the people who entered have ever left. No one has opened this door at all …”
Chen Guangda looked at the tightly shut latch on the small door. If someone had gone out, the latch would have been opened long ago. Fortunately, they weren’t here to rob the tombs. Treasures were like trash to them. Thus, he opened the small wooden door without hesitation. As expected, there was a small step up behind it.
“Haha ~ This ancient man was very particular about what he did …”
Wang Dafu rubbed his hands excitedly and directly followed Chen Guangda inside. Although it was not the time to go up, it was better to guard the exit than to squat in the gloomy tomb. However, Chen Guangda had just reached the top of the stairs when he suddenly heard a crisp sound.
“Huh?”
Chen Guangda was instinctively shocked. He hurriedly used his flashlight to shine forward. There was no damn exit in front of him. There was only a solid stone wall and a huge stone tablet. On it was actually written in bright red words-grave robber’s death!
“Fuck! Run, this bastard is a liar …”
Chen Guang shouted in extreme shock and anger, However, just as he was about to turn around and run, the strange-colored roof suddenly collapsed with a “boom”. Large amounts of white phosphorus suddenly poured down from it, igniting a large amount of flames almost instantly. A huge broken dragon stone also violently smashed down from above, directly smashing towards Xia Fei and the others’ heads.
