Chapter 119: The Road of No Return

For more than ten seconds, no one spoke, and everyone's eyes were focused on the copper pillar, to be precise, in the copper box inside the copper pillar, a large number of bullet shells and mottled blood stains, all of which indicate that Zhao Ying and others were attacked by unknown enemies on the back of the copper pillar.

The number of shells left in the copper box is astonishing, with hundreds of shells, most of which are rifle shells, and the rest are pistol shells. The blood is mainly concentrated in the edge area of ​​the copper box, with fewer bottoms and more in the middle and tops.

After a while, Xiao Qin stepped towards the copper box.

Wang Xinran raised her hand and tried to stop it. Xiao Qin made a gesture to her without worry, and then carefully walked to the bottom step and inspected the copper box from there.

The examination soon showed results, "It was a short period of time that the remaining blood was not human blood."

Wang Xinran frowned in confusion, "What kind of animal is it?"

Xiao Qin shone a strong light to find it. After a few seconds, she pinched something from the edge of the copper box. What was it that couldn't be seen clearly, it should be something like hair.

Xiao Qin first observed with her naked eyes, then asked Wang Xinran for a lighter, ignite the fire, and went to her nose to smell it deeply, "It's not a mammal, but an egg animal."

"What is it?" Wang Xinran asked.

Xiao Qin shook her head, "No matter what it is, the number will definitely not be large, and the individual is large and it is likely to fly."

Wang Xinran pointed to the shell in the copper box, "If the quantity is not..."

Before Wang Xinran could finish speaking, Xiao Qin waved her hand and interrupted her, "It's definitely not many. Look at these blood stains, which were shot at close range. Animals that can spew so much blood after being injured will definitely not be very small. The reason why so many shells are left is because this animal is very large and difficult to be killed."

Everyone felt a little light when they heard this. Except for Wu Zhongyuan, they all had practical experience. When they really faced their opponents, they were not afraid of their opponents being big, but they were afraid that they would have a large number of opponents, and they could not resist them with two fists.

Huang Hailin asked, "Why do they say they can fly?"

Xiao Qin pointed to several blood stains on the edge of the copper box, "The blood stains were all splattered from above."

"Did they have any personal casualties?" Wang Xinran asked again.

Xiao Qin did not respond immediately, took out a telescopic stick from her pocket, and then threw it out, then leaned over and pulled the shell in the copper box from the steps to check. "They made effective defense, and there should be no casualties." Speaking of this, Xiao Qin added, "At least not before leaving the copper pillar."

"Why does your bird keep talking?" Wu Zhongyuan asked, "Can it see something?"

After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, Xiao Qin tilted her head and looked at the starling on her shoulder, "Little nigger, you can talk."

As soon as Xiao Qin finished speaking, the little nigger started shouting, "Go out, go out..."

The little black ghost screamed unpleasantly, and Wang Xinran frowned in disgust, "What are you screaming, you'd better let it shut up."

"Idiot." The little nigger took the time to scold Wang Xinran, and then shouted that he wanted to go out.

"Shut up." Xiao Qin stopped drinking.

The little nigger obeyed the order, and Xiao Qin asked it to shut up. It did not mean that it was convinced, but it did not mean that it was very convinced. It just dared not speak out, and pointed its butt at Xiao Qin's head to express its dissatisfaction.

"Did it have a premonition?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Xiao Qin shook her head, "It's very smart and looks good at seeing the gods. Apart from that, it's no different from ordinary starlings."

"Then why is it yelling to go out?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"It just doesn't like this relatively closed space, which makes it feel depressing." Xiao Qin said.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded and did not ask again. Xiao Qin and others were originally transferred to arrest people, but had not planned to enter the underground altar before.

After the discussion was over, he fell into silence. Wang Xinran needed to make a decision. She needed to decide whether to continue moving forward or to retreat.

Wang Xinran did not act arbitrarily, but looked at Xiao Qin. Xiao Qin's expression was very calm. Then he looked at Yang Yi, who still looked like he was not awake, leaning against the stone wall on the right side.

The last thing Wang Xinran saw was Huang Hailin. Huang Hailin knew that Wang Xinran was asking for his opinions and also knew why Wang Xinran wanted to ask everyone's opinions. It was because two colleagues died in the underwater tomb of Poyang Lake six months ago, and that time he was also led by Wang Xinran.

"We must go in, otherwise why should we come down?" Huang Hailin made a statement first, and then added, "But one thing we need to note is that there is no mechanism inside the copper column that can rotate the copper column. Moreover, on the other side, the mechanism that can rotate the copper column may be set up very secretly, and it will take a certain amount of time to find it."

Wang Xinran nodded slowly when she heard this. Huang Hailin's implication was that once the copper pillar was turned over, it would be impossible to turn back in a short period of time. No matter what dangers they encountered, everyone must face them.

Many people want to be leaders, but in fact, leaders are not that easy to be leaders. Although the Party leaders can enjoy privileges, they also need to bear the consequences for their decisions. Wang Xinran is facing such a situation at this time.

But she did not hesitate too much, and after a brief pondering, she stepped into the copper box.

Wu Zhongyuan followed in first, then Xiao Qin and Yang Yi were the third one.

As soon as Yang Yi entered, the copper pillar suddenly began to rotate counterclockwise, without any signs before.

Fortunately, the copper column rotated very slowly, and Huang Hailin also stepped in.

"How come the mechanism suddenly started?" Wu Zhongyuan looked at Huang Hailin in confusion.

Huang Hailin shook his head and said, "It was not that it started suddenly, but that the person who came in reached the weight needed to trigger the mechanism."

Wang Xinran pushed Wu Zhongyuan to the inside of the copper box, then pulled out the pistol and walked to the outside of the copper box. Huang Hailin and Xiao Qin also drew their guns in their hands and were on guard. Yang Yi also left the pistol at his waist, but he did not draw out the gun, but rubbed his eyes and yawned.

Seeing Yang Yi relaxed so much, Wu Zhongyuan was very confused. Relaxation is a state, and this state requires strong strength as a foundation. Wang Xinran had only said that Yang Yi would have special abilities, but did not say what special abilities he would have.

As the copper box slowly rotated, the gap gradually closed. He didn't know what Wang Xinran and others thought, but his biggest worry was that the copper box suddenly stopped rotating and trapped everyone inside.

Fortunately, the thing he was worried about did not happen. Although the copper box was spinning very slowly, it did not stop in the middle and gradually turned to the other side.

As soon as a vertical crack appeared, everyone felt a sense of coldness, and there was a strong smell of blood coming from the coldness.

It feels cold because of wind. Wind is a very common thing, but it doesn’t fit the common sense to appear here. There is indeed wind, and it is cold and cold wind.

"Lights will expose our location and easily attract enemies. Should we turn off a few lights?" Xiao Qin asked in a low voice.

"No," Wang Xinran said, "if they have been living in a light-free environment, their eyes will degenerate."

"If I had known that there were unknown creatures, I should have transferred No. 17," said Huang Hailin.

At this time, the edge of the copper box had been more than ten centimeters away from the wall. Wang Xinran shone out with a strong flashlight, but could not see anything.

The reason why you can't see anything is because there is nothing outside, there is really nothing, no wall, no steps, nothing.

As the gap increased, Xiao Qin also began to shine outside. The result was the same as Wang Xinran. There was nothing outside, there was even a road, and there was a deep abyss under her feet.

As the copper box rotated, the light finally shone on the east and west, and it was a bridge, a stone bridge without a bridge rail.

When the copper box stopped rotating, its angle was facing the ancient stone bridge. The stone bridge was about five meters wide and led straight ahead. There was no end and the length was unknown. The support for the stone bridge were several peaks and stones protruding in the canyon.

There are also many shells left on the edge of the stone bridge, as well as large patches of blood.

A relatively confined space will make people feel depressed, but an overly empty space will make people feel panicked. Everyone is at the edge of a cliff at this time. Apart from this stone bridge, there is no place in front of people for people to step on.

Knowing that the lights might attract enemies, everyone still couldn't help but shine everywhere, but except for the stone bridge in front of them and the occasionally peak stones in front of them, everyone could not see anything, the bottom of the canyon, nor the dome above.

Wu Zhongyuan had night vision ability, but the strong light flashlight used by everyone had a great impact on him. It was difficult for a person's vision to adapt to the sudden changes in light and darkness.

After a brief observation, Wang Xinran was the first to walk out of the copper box and stepped onto the stone bridge. Since the scattered shells on the stone bridge might cause the foot to slip, or to determine the depth of the canyon, Wang Xinran used her feet to push some of the shells down from the bridge.

After waiting for a long time, there was no echo and the canyon was bottomless.

Huang Hailin was the second step out of the copper box, stood on the bridge and turned to face the copper box. His task was to find the starting mechanism that made the copper box turn.

Xiao Qin also wanted to go out, but Yang Yi reached out to stop her, "You stay to protect him."

After saying that, Yang Yi walked out and went to the other side of Huang Hailin, and protected him from the left and right with Wang Xinran. Huang Hailin was concentrating on finding the mechanism and had no time to distract himself. The two needed to ensure his safety.

It was not until this time that Yang Yi drew his pistol, but he was not as good as Wang Xinran, but he used his feet to pull the shell that could affect everyone's passage from the bridge.

Although Wu Zhongyuan was not afraid of altitude, he was still a little scared when he saw that he stood on the stone bridge without the protection of the bridge railings, and secretly felt a little worried about them.

Huang Hailin first checked the mountain on the left and right sides of the copper box. After confirming that there was no mechanism on the mountain, he checked the stone bridge at his feet. The bridge deck and both sides of the stone bridge were carefully inspected, but the existence of the mechanism was still not found.

In the end, Huang Hailin came to a result. This hollow copper pillar could only be opened from the outside, and there was no mechanism to activate it inside. This was a path of no return that could only advance but not retreat.

Everyone was not very worried about such a result, because there were eighteen branches behind them. If they didn't go out for a long time, the headquarters would definitely organize rescue.

"Let's go," Wang Xinran waved at Wu Zhongyuan, "You're walking in the middle."

Wu Zhongyuan stood still.

"Let's go." Wang Xinran urged.

Wu Zhongyuan still didn't move, staring at the distance.

"What's wrong?" Wang Xinran wanted to turn around.
