The years when I was Captain Jin

Chapter 400 Mountain Tunnel
"The code only said four words: the dragon is in the cave." Wang Yuanchao said.

"Dragon?" I froze for a moment, then looked at Wang Yuanchao in confusion: "What dragon?"

Wang Yuanchao sighed and said, "This code is really too short. It looks like it was written in a hurry by the soldier before he died. I don't know what the dragon in his mouth represents? Is it a code name for a military operation, or is it a code name? Is there really a giant dragon hidden in the cave? In short, Aaron lied, he must have an ulterior secret in tricking us into the cave."

I thought about it, and I thought that Aaron was very awkward when he spoke, and he looked very Japanese when he bowed. Could it be that he is really Japanese?
Thinking of this, my heart suddenly 'thumped'.

Originally thought that Aaron was just Uncle Ming's cheap nephew, but now it seems that their relationship is not as simple as it seems.

"Would Aaron be a member of the dark organization?" I thought of a terrifying possibility.

"I don't know about this. We won't know his true identity until we find the dragon mentioned in the code." Wang Yuanchao replied.

"Do you want to tell Fourth Miss and Fatty?"

"I don't want it for now." Wang Yuanchao shook his head and said, "We don't need to worry about the fourth girl. On the contrary, he is fat and has a rough personality. If he finds out, we don't know what big trouble will happen."

"Yeah." I nodded. Wang Yuanchao was right. The fat man has always been an uncertain factor on our side. If the fat man finds out, it will definitely scare the snake away.

Moreover, we also need Fatty to continue to be so stupid to paralyze Aaron.

"By the way, if I find the cave in a while, I'll lure Aaron away, and you should look for clues immediately." Wang Yuanchao said.

"it is good."

After the discussion, Wang Yuanchao and I followed the footsteps of the large army.Sure enough, as the code said, after we passed through this strange old forest, all we saw were tall, majestic and endless mountain peaks.

The peaks were all bare, drawing a slanted line from north to south, like an ugly scar.It was getting late at this time, so we had to install searchlights on our heads, each of us issued a wolf-eyed flashlight, put on leather boots, and began to search around the mountain in batches.

Searching aimlessly at the foot of the dark mountain is a job that tests patience. Just when we were almost worn out by mosquitoes staring at countless itchy red spots, James Shi and Aaron finally discovered a dark cave.

I took a look inside with a flashlight and found that the cave had no end in sight.Listen carefully, it seems that there is still the sound of wind rushing out, like the whining and choking sound of a ghost.

"What's going on? This doesn't seem to be a cave!" I said.

"The cave is ventilated." Uncle Ming pondered for a moment, "It's more like a train tunnel passing through the middle of Mount Li."

"But I haven't heard that Lishan has a train?" I said dumbfounded.

Although Lishan was a sacred place of worship in ancient times, it was abandoned after liberation. There is no village in front of this place and no land behind. Except for stones and trees, they are beasts. Who would spend such a huge amount of money and material resources to hollow out the entire Lishan Mountain? Digging tunnels for trains?Isn't this funny?

Uncle Ming shook his head, expressing that he was not clear either.

I touched the stone wall at the edge of the cave entrance and found that the stone wall was smooth and flat, obviously polished, and there seemed to be a lot of gravel around the cave entrance. It seemed that it was exactly as Uncle Ming said. A large tunnel dug by hand.

"Look, there are still railroad tracks on the ground!" Wang Yuanchao said with sharp eyes, pointing to the two rusty train tracks in the tunnel leading to the dark depths.

"Railway?" Fatty stared wide-eyed: "If there are railroad tracks, maybe this place is really where the ancient tomb is. Fatty has encountered it before, and some tomb robbers used the cover of opening holes to dig for mines. Avoiding the sight of the police, stealthily doing tomb robbery.”

Although I have also seen similar tomb robbery records in my grandfather's notes, I never believe that someone would dig such a huge tunnel for Qin Shihuang's tomb.

Judging from the amount of this project, it is not a small amount. At least it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars, requisition tens of thousands of migrant workers and large-scale machinery, and it will take five to ten years to work. I don’t believe that such a large project will not be broadcast on the news. .

So I reminded the fat man not to get too carried away, we still don't know what is hidden in this hole.

The fat man was still dreaming of the big dream of spring and autumn, thinking that gold, silver and jewelry were in front of him, but he didn't expect that I poured cold water on him, and he looked at Uncle Ming and Aaron depressedly.Unexpectedly, Aaron ignored the fat man, and took the lead in walking carefully along the railroad tracks with a flashlight into the entrance of the cave. The fat man was afraid that all the good things would be taken away by Aaron, so he hurriedly followed.

I was checking the situation of the tunnel, but I didn't expect the fat man to follow me in, so I gasped: "Fatty man, what are you doing?"

"Nonsense, a large group of people are hiding at the entrance of the cave for a fart. If there is a tomb here, don't you know if you go in and have a look? Grandma, it is already a shame to be kidnapped to rob the tomb. If someone else robs you first, After taking away valuables, Fatty is too embarrassed to mention the nickname of Little Prince Touching Gold..."

Seeing everyone walking in one after another, Wang Yuanchao and I had no choice but to turn on the safety of the pistol and followed the crowd vigilantly.

The tunnel was extremely quiet, and there were countless strange rocks hanging upside down densely above our heads.Those strange rocks are in various shapes, some are like upside-down knives, some are like unsheathed swords, and some are like devil's claws. Wet water vapor falls along the stones. In the whole tunnel, except for the sound of our empty footsteps, there is no sound. It's that weird dripping sound...

Tick ​​tock, tick tock.

I feel like this is a sewer, and we are the rats walking through the sewer.

Not long after we entered the cave, we saw many shocking things, such as water pumps, generators, and old-fashioned mine cars parked on the rails. These mine cars were painted blue. The paint, covered with thick dust, looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.Perhaps because of the age, the wheels of the minecarts have oxidized and rotted. Except for the rails on the ground, they are still usable, and almost everything else has become waste.

Because there are no living things in the cave so far, we tried to go a little further.

But the fat man quickly snorted, "Strange, why does this tunnel seem to be getting wider and wider?"

James seemed to have the same feeling as Fatty: "Yes, when we first came in, the tunnel was only big enough for two trains to go together, but now the tunnel is big enough for six cars to run side by side, and it has indeed been widened a lot. More like a military base."

"Military base?" I asked puzzled.

Before James could answer, Wang Yuanchao, who was walking in front, shouted loudly: "Look, there are many large containers in front of you."
