Tomb Raider Bronze Door Twins
Chapter 16 Zhang Qiling Protects Wu Di
Before anyone could make a move, Zhang Qiling had already rushed to the cave entrance. After observing the situation, he signaled everyone to go down. Wu Yi was about to take out a match to test the air concentration, but then he paused and retracted his hand, trusting Zhang Qiling unconditionally.
They quickly went down to the tunnel, where they found some skeletons, whose shapes were exactly the same as the scar on Li Cu's back.
"Is it a coincidence?" Li Cu asked.
Wu Yu lowered his voice and said, "It's not a coincidence. The pattern on your back is consistent with these arrangements."
Zhang Qiling squatted down, waved away the bones, and found a tombstone underneath. The relief was engraved with Yuezhi language, and the content was about the life of a city lord of ancient Tongjing.
"There is a passage underneath." Wu Yu said as he tried to pry it open, but he discovered that Zhang Qiling had already stretched out his finger, poked it into the narrow crack, and then pulled the stone slab open with a little force.
Under the relief stone slab is the entrance to the underground palace.
A team of people left a few people behind to keep watch, including Wang Meng, and the rest went down.
It was dark down there, and full of weeds.
"Ah!" Bu Cun didn't know if it was intentional or not, he accidentally tripped while walking, and Zhang Qiling didn't go to help him, or he felt there was no need, so Bu Cun fell to the ground, his mouth twitched, and he seemed afraid to help Zhang Qiling, so he grabbed the uneven wall and stood up, and by chance he found the statue on the wall next to him.
Zhang Qiling obviously didn't react and followed the team in front down to the underground palace. Bu Cun could only follow behind him and returned to his usual cool look.
Su Nan, who was at the head of the team, looked back at Bu Cun. He was the person she brought with her, but she couldn't understand why this hired guy was so sticky to Zhang Qiling.
A team of people found many more stone statues on the walls of the passage, "Wu Di... I want to go out, please Wu Di!" Li Cu pleaded, pulling the corner of Wu Di's clothes.
Wu Yu shook his head. "We've already come down, so why would we go back up? I will take you home, but not now."
Li Cu started to lose his temper and could no longer suppress his emotions: "It's all your fault for bringing me here. I want to go home... Why did you choose me? I want to go home...!" Li Cu was a child after all. His eyes turned red and he wanted to cry. He seemed to have claustrophobia. Before he could shed a tear, he couldn't breathe and his breathing became rapid.
Wu Yu noticed something was wrong and pulled him over to cover his eyes. "Don't think about anything. Close your eyes and adjust your breathing."
Li Cu trembled as he held onto Wu Yi's hand. After taking a few deep breaths, he smelled the tobacco on the other person. He shook off the other person's hand, moved a few steps away, found a place to squat down, and then he recovered slightly.
At this time, he looked up again and happened to be illuminated by a flashlight. After the light shone on Li Cu's face for a moment, Zhang Qiling finally said the first sentence between the two of them, "Delete it."
Li Cu understood that he was being asked to delete the photos he had taken, so he nodded to indicate that he understood. Only then did he realize that Zhang Qiling also had a bit of a temper.
Driven by curiosity, Li Cu walked on.
After walking for a while, they found more stone statues. These stone statues warned everyone that it would be dangerous to go forward. Li Cu inadvertently glanced at the stone statues next to him, but the moment he turned his head, he seemed to discover an unbelievable scene, "Hey." Li Cu patted Wu Yi's shoulder.
Wu Yu asked: "What's wrong?"
"This stone statue just blinked." Li Cu pointed at the stone statue.
Wu Yu, who was no longer surprised by the sight, went straight to work and checked the eyes. He discovered that the head of the statue could be turned. Wu Yu twisted the statue's head, and immediately the human figures in the passage were pushed to the sides to make way.
At the end of the road, there is a stone door. Something must be wrong. The mechanism in the ancient tomb cannot be so simple.
When he reached the mechanism at the top of the rubble, Lao Cheng discovered that many stones were hung artificially on the top of the passage, and even the ground was very strange. Sure enough, when he stepped on it, he clearly heard a cracking sound. Lao Cheng did not act rashly, but looked forward and found a pull ring next to the stone statue, which was the mechanism to open the stone door.
He looked at the weight very accurately, "This mechanism has a gravel roof on top and a weight conservation device underneath, so it can only carry 48 kilograms."
That is to say, if the weight going up there exceeds 48 kilograms, the tunnel will collapse and the rubble roof will fall.
"Let me do it." The only person present whose weight met the standard was Su Nan. She took off her coat and equipment and walked over. Li Cu blushed and turned his head away. He was still young and was indeed shy to see this scene.
Su Nan was very agile, and Zhang Qiling watched her indifferently as she showed off her prowess for the first time.
Bu Cun beside her, on the contrary, looked at Su Nan coldly, without any appreciation for his boss as an employee. When he saw her successfully pull down the mechanism, the passage under her feet sank instantly, and the stone door slowly opened automatically, he looked away and followed Zhang Qiling again.
Su Nan shouted, "It's OK."
“What’s so great about it…” Bu Cun muttered.
Zhang Qiling had good hearing. He tilted his head to glance at him, and Bu Cun instantly returned to his normal state.
Everyone passed through this door and arrived at the palace. It was very cold inside. This palace was called Qingliang Palace, which was used by the royal family to escape the summer heat.
Wu Yu threw a match into the lamp, and flames started all around the palace, instantly making it much brighter.
Under the light of the flames, they discovered that the walls were actually made of jade, no wonder it was so refreshing.
Lao Cheng had been studying the box in the middle of the palace. He took some effort to pry open the lock, and found the box was full of gold, silver and jewelry. While he was dividing the jewels, Li Cu heard a very strange sound and came to the wall covered with barnacles.
Under the barnacle-like plants were densely packed with red balls. A group of people thought they were rubies and started to grab them. Suddenly, the floor shook and the door was closed.
"Put it back!" Zhang Qiling rarely gave an order.
Bu Cun's center of balance was unstable, and he almost fell on Zhang Qiling's back after hearing his shout. Only after they put the treasures back in the box did the floor stop shaking.
Zhang Qiling's clothes were grabbed, and he felt the pulling force the moment he took a step. He turned around and saw it was Bu Cun. Although he always felt that he should not care about it, he also tried to express his thoughts. However, his facial expressions were very few, and those he showed were too subtle. He relied entirely on eye contact for communication, which made no one understand.
The man withdrew his hand as if he was burned by fire, pushed the frame of his glasses on his nose, and smiled shyly, as if he really felt sorry for Zhang Qiling: "Sorry, I didn't stand firmly just now."
He was not blind and could not see clearly. Zhang Qiling could feel Bu Cun's skills but he did not say anything. He just silently kept a distance from him. But the next second, Bu Cun followed him closely half a meter behind, as if he was afraid that he would run away.
Is it to know oneself? Or is it to know the enemy?
When Zhang Qiling first started to venture out, he was often hunted down because of the 0% survival rate of his employers. If it was a small family poaching him, it would be easy to deal with, but the people who hired him were either rich or noble. Basically, three or two backbones of the Nine Gates had died because of fighting with him. In recent years, many people had wanted to kill him.
As he was thinking this, more red balls suddenly fell down and the floor began to shake violently. Except for the middle of the palace, the floor was all cracked. Lao Cheng saw that the situation was not good and wanted to run back to the platform in the middle, but he was a step too late and fell down. Li Cu who was standing next to him was also dragged down by Lao Cheng.
Wu Di desperately stretched out his hand, with such strength that it seemed as if he was willing to risk his life to pull Li Cu, and hooked the circular table with the military shovel. Zhang Qiling saw that the situation was not right, and immediately shook off Bu Cun's tail, and quickly rescued Wu Di who was about to be dragged down by Li Cu, so that the two of them did not fall.
"Thank you." Wu Yu looked at Zhang Qiling's eyes, which were clearly black and white.
Zhang Qiling once looked at him in the same way. He seemed to have expected that Zhang Qiling would help him at the critical moment, so he desperately tried to pull Li Cu without caring about his own safety.
Zhang Qiling looked away and made sure that the seesaw under his feet was currently safe before he slowly let go of Wu Yi's hand.
"Protect yourself," he instructed.
Everyone calmed down and tried to find an exit, and a mural appeared right in front of them. "I'll go take a look." Wu Yu said this and looked at Su Nan.
But it was difficult to walk over there, they had to maintain the balance of the seesaw, that is, Wu Yu moved towards the mural, and Su Nan had to walk in the opposite direction to maintain balance. At this time, Zhang Qiling held Su Nan's shoulders.
"Don't move, I'll do it." He didn't trust Su Nan with handing Wu Yu's life over.
At this time, Li Cu discovered that the mural had not been fully displayed. After everyone was slowly adjusting the height of the seesaw, there was a hole below. Several people rushed over impatiently, and everyone had to quickly return to the original platform to readjust.
It seems that the cave entrance is the only way out.
Wu Di’s solution was to find someone to cooperate with, and Wu Di chose Li Cu.
"Trust me." Zhang Qiling looked at Wu Yu, signaling that he should cooperate with him, but Wu Yu didn't even trust him.
Two people walk to one end of the seesaw to maintain balance. When the hole comes out, they let one person pass quickly. Then they return to the circular platform to adjust the balance. In this way, they can send all the people out.
Zhang Qiling wanted to send Wu Xie over first, but he didn't expect that Wu Xie chose to push Li Cu to the cave entrance first. The young man didn't stop and rolled around when he fell in, looking very embarrassed.
Zhang Qiling spoke more seriously for the first time:
"Are you crazy?"
No matter who is the next one, Zhang Qiling will directly throw Wu Xu to the entrance of the cave. However, this method has a disadvantage, that is, it is difficult for the last person to get out.
In the end, there were only two people left, and Bu Cun did not move behind him. If the next person wanted to enter the cave, he had to give up one person to occupy the last fulcrum.
Zhang Qiling had to protect Wu Yu and sacrifice other people's lives. He had done this too many times in his life. Zhang Qiling's weight was obviously lighter than Bu Cun's. Now he was slightly tilted in that position, but he didn't expect Bu Cun to choose to stand at the end of the cave entrance and extend his hand to him, "Brother Ci, you go in first."
I can still hold it down now, but once I move first, the entire platform will tilt drastically, and Bu Cun's position is just right for him to get directly into the cave, so there is no need to wait for me.
Bu Cun's current behavior looks like that of a fool. If he moves, at best he will slide into the hole, at worst he will fall down instantly due to the sudden tilt.
He was a very young man, about three or four years old, in his early twenties. He didn't like to smile, and he looked cold to everyone because he wore glasses. But at this moment, he smiled very gently.
"I can do it, trust me." Bu Cun inserted the knife at his waist into the wall and stuck one end of the seesaw.
Zhang Qiling did not hesitate and ran over before the seesaw tilted too high. Bu Cun also moved, and the two of them reached the exit smoothly without any danger.
Everyone returned along the same route as the exit and ran to the ground. As soon as they reached the ground, the person who ran first was beaten up by everyone. However, Su Nan's subordinate Yao Wang was missing. No one knew whether something had happened to him or he had run away to some other place.
According to Boss Ma's request, Su Nan and his men had to go down once more, and Su Nan also had to go find the Medicine King. Su Nan's men went down first, including Bu Cun.
