"Why isn't there a trap here?" Gao Chen asked back.
Seeing that only the stone slabs on the ground moved, Gao Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it wasn't some other mechanism like flying arrows or rolling stones.
It seems that his guess was correct. This was the exit he had visited a few days ago, and the layout of the mechanism could be used as a reference.
The ground on the left side slopes slightly downward, probably due to thousands of years of geological changes.
It also means that the underground is empty!
Gao Chen still remembers the time when he was led by the archaeological team to the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor to see the original bronze slab.
The number of traps at the entrance was beyond his imagination.
Basically every step requires careful consideration.
The archaeology professor who led the team told him that the exit had been discovered ten years ago.
The archaeological team at that time spent half a year to fully understand the trap at the exit.
However, since some of the traps are closely connected to other parts of the ancient tomb, they cannot be destroyed at will.
All they could do was note the location of the mechanisms and leave them there temporarily.
Just avoid it when entering.
Gao Chen never imagined that a few days later, he would face another entrance to the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor that had never been explored.
He sighed.
"No cemetery owner would welcome tomb explorers. Isn't it normal for the entrance to be full of traps?"
It would be better to say that the small space where they woke up had no mechanism or people at all.
Instead, it made him extremely worried.
It is probably the work of the person behind the scenes.
"This, this, this, the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor..." the man muttered.
Originally, this was just a concept in history books and travel brochures.
Now he has a completely new understanding of these words.
The crowd, which was originally ready to move, seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water and shrank back to their original position.
Logan looked at the wall not far away, or rather, the exit.
"The exit is right in front of us, and we can't do anything?"
She turned and looked at Gao Chen.
"Chen, you can't even open the tomb of the emperor of your own country?"
Ning Tao beside him sneered.
"Comrade reporter, perhaps you should understand what it means to respect the dead."
After discovering the entrance to the ancient tomb, China organized three years of excavation and research.
Explored parts of the outermost area of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum.
However, archaeological excavations were subsequently stopped.
There are many factors involved.
First of all, there are too many mechanisms in the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, and self-destruction facilities are everywhere, which slows down the mining progress.
There are also voices of opposition from the public.
The First Emperor has extraordinary significance for China.
He deserves posthumous respect.
Even if the archaeological team just wants to recreate the cultural features of a thousand years ago from his burial objects.
China was not short of those burial objects, so it simply stopped the process.
If it weren’t for the recent news, the only discovered entrance to the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor would still be closed.
Gao Chen did not blame Ning Tao for speaking without restraint, but stood up and spoke frankly.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Miss Logan, but I really can't solve all the problems."
"Also, the exit ahead is the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, but it's not necessarily our exit."
After being refuted twice in a row, Logan felt a little embarrassed.
"Chen, what do you mean?"
Ye Li was tired of the back-and-forth questioning and yawned.
"Don't you understand? This is an ancient tomb, underground!"
"If this passage hadn't been discovered, the outside of the gate would be covered in dirt. It would take who knows how long it would take to dig out, and there would be no way out."
Gao Chen looked at Ye Li approvingly.
Just as he thought, the other party was indeed smart and understood things immediately.
"And I guess, even if we get out, we're still within the foggy area up there, and it might even be more dangerous."
Logan frowned. "So, the people behind the scenes want us to move forward? But there are no traps ahead?"
Gao Chen saw that Logan finally reacted and didn't need to explain too much.
"Of course there is. So now there are two paths before us, and these are also the two paths left to us by the people behind the scenes."
"First, let's stay here and rest. Even though there's nothing here, it's safe for now. Maybe the person behind the scenes will get tired of playing around and let us out?"
"Second, explore the road ahead and look for an unknown exit. Maybe we can run into the person who brought us here."
“Ignorance is dangerous. No one knows what lies ahead.”
After asking a multiple-choice question, Gao Chen stopped talking.
Some people in the crowd were lost in thought, some were scratching their heads, and some were eager to try.
Some people chose to stay out of fear. They had just experienced a life-and-death chase and didn't want to face the feeling of racing with death again.
Some people want to take a chance and wait for death without doing anything. They are unwilling to do so.
Some people are attracted by the fame of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor and their minds are already full of thoughts about exploring the tomb and searching for treasures.
Some people are still hesitant and are ready to wait and see what others do.
Gao Chen did not guide others' decisions, but just asked Wang Hao to stay and protect the safety of those who remained.
He will take Xu Xiaolin and Ning Tao to explore the way ahead.
As the second most powerful extraordinary person among the four, Wang Hao knew that this arrangement was reasonable.
Although I was worried about the three of them, I had no choice but to stay.
If there were no official personnel left to maintain order, there would probably be chaos on the spot.
Gao Chen sought the opinions of the three injured people who had woken up.
Feng Feng and Jin Shile both decided to go ahead with Gao Chen to explore the way.
Mo Lili hesitated for a long time, but finally refused.
She knew that she was not among Gao Chen's invitation targets, and if she followed him with injuries all over her body, she would only be a hindrance.
The division of the two parties was quickly completed.
There is no need to mention Gao Chen and his team members.
Ye Li also chose to move forward.
Seeing that the two injured people were still trying to run around, Mai Xuan became anxious. He happened to receive an invitation from Gao Chen, so he decided to go ahead and take a look.
besides--
Almost all foreign "tourists" chose to move forward.
Gao Chen stood in front of them.
"Foreign friends, you don't understand Chinese culture. The road ahead is more dangerous for you than for others. It's better to stay where you are."
Xu Xiaolin nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"You can't even read classical Chinese, so it's useless to follow us. It would be bad if you accidentally fall into a trap."
Logan didn't appreciate it at all and waved the bag in his hand.
"The fact that we're here means the people behind it think we're qualified to explore it."
"Also, the potion isn't a panacea. Although the two patients' injuries have healed a lot, it's only been less than half an hour since they drank the potion. Their bodies' regenerative abilities have already reached their limits."
"If their condition worsens along the way, I can help."
"This..." Gao Chen looked at the two people wrapped like mummies on the ground with hesitation.
