Chapter 973 Stone Gate Under the Well



After receiving the instructions from Xu Jianguo, Fu Bo immediately arranged for two servants to put on their equipment and sports cameras. After ensuring that the satellite signal transmission image was turned on, they entered the deep well via ropes.

At the same time, a new window popped up on the computer screen in Xu Jianguo's study. It was the real-time images transmitted by the sports cameras worn by the two servants who entered the deep well.

However, due to the stronger interference in the well, the picture that could originally reach 8K quality became very blurry, and snow and freezes appeared from time to time.

Fortunately, the quality of the equipment is quite good, and the space satellite has strong anti-interference capabilities, so we can barely see the situation underground.

As the two space servants continued to descend, they soon arrived at a position one meter away from the water surface. At this time, they were almost twenty meters away from the wellhead.

And Xu Jianguo could clearly find that the space underground was much larger than the wellhead, and it was estimated to be about four meters in diameter.

But this was not the most important thing. What really surprised Xu Jianguo was that he actually saw a stone door on the wall of the well.

It is precisely because of the trumpet-shaped wall of the well that people standing on the wellhead cannot see the stone door below the well at all.

The stone gate was about one meter wide and one and a half meters high. It was carved with dense patterns, which gave him a particularly familiar feeling.

There was a pair of pitch-black door knockers on the stone gate, made of an unknown material. The door knockers were held in the mouths of two stone sculptures in the shape of green-faced and fanged evil spirits.

Seeing this, Xu Jianguo continued to give instructions to Fu Bo, asking them to see whether the direction of the infection source was inside the stone gate.

A moment later, Fu Bo sent a message indicating that the direction of the interference source indicated by the instrument was inside the stone gate.

"Go in and take a look, be careful!" Xu Jianguo continued to give orders.

Then he saw the two servants in the well moving again. Because the stone door was about one meter away from them, one of the servants pushed the other servant hard.

The servant who was pushed used the force to swing to the front of the stone gate and reached out to grab the door knocker on the stone gate.

Then, he took out a nail gun from his waist with his other hand, hammered two anchor points on the well walls on both sides of the stone gate, then fixed himself to the anchor points with quickdraws, and reached out to pull the other servant over.

After the two were fixed, the servant took out the nail gun again and shot two more anchor nails with ropes hanging on them towards the place opposite the two anchor points. Then he connected the four anchor points with ropes to form a shape similar to "=".

The main purpose of his doing this was to make it easier for people coming down later to reach the stone door on the stone wall.

After all the preparations were completed, the two servants placed their hands on the stone door and pushed it open with a slight force.

And at the moment the stone door was pushed open, Xu Jianguo saw through the video screen that a thin smoke rushed out from the door and went straight to the faces of the two servants.

A few seconds later, the smoke cleared and the two servants were unharmed. One of the servants took out a high-intensity flashlight from his waist, turned it on and shone it into the stone gate.

Only then did Xu Jianguo see clearly what was behind the stone gate and discovered that there was actually a corridor inside. This reminded him of the books he had read in his previous life about tomb robbing. He wondered if there was an ancient tomb hidden under Lange Village.

Moreover, according to the common plot in the novel, the entire village should be the guardians of the mausoleum. However, for some unknown reason, these people all entered the mausoleum, which led to the disappearance of the entire village. They were discovered by the postman who came to deliver the letter and then reported it.

But on second thought, it still doesn't make sense. If the entire village is really the legendary tomb keeper, and their collective disappearance this time is for some kind of sacrificial ceremony, then this time is too long, isn't it?

You have to know that when the postman found that there was no one in the village, he had already seen the thick dust on the stove in the villagers' homes. This was not formed in a short period of time.

Adding to the subsequent reports that went through many circles and were passed up the chain of command, he must have been missing for at least two months. What kind of sacrificial activity could take so long?

Xu Jianguo pondered it over and over in his mind, but still couldn't figure it out.

At this time, the two servants had already untied the quick draw fastened to the anchor point and entered the stone gate.

Because the height of the corridor was only about 1.5 meters, the two servants did not choose to bend forward, but adopted a half-squatting posture in order to allow the sports cameras on their chests to shoot the images normally.

It's also thanks to the fact that they are intelligent robots made of super alloys. If an ordinary person moves forward in this posture, the quadriceps muscles on the front of the thigh will explode after walking a few dozen meters.

From the strong flashlight in the video, it can be seen that the distance of the corridor is very long, exceeding the illumination distance of 300 meters, and the light at the farthest end is swallowed up by the darkness in the distance.

At this moment, the two space servants who had advanced several dozen meters suddenly stopped. Immediately afterwards, Xu Jianguo received a message from them: "There are footprints on the ground!"

Xu Jianguo's pupils shrank slightly, and he stared at the shallow footprints that suddenly appeared on the screen.

Thanks to the fact that these are space servants, their pupils have night vision and zoom functions. If it were an ordinary person, they might not be able to detect it.

Originally, they did not need to use lighting equipment in such an environment, but because Xu Jianguo was watching the situation on the scene through video, the night vision function of the All-Seeing Eye did not work, so they could only rely on a high-intensity flashlight for lighting.

The reason why Xu Jianguo had such a reaction was that he was very familiar with the pattern on the footprint. It was exactly the pattern on the sole of the high-top military boots he designed for ordinary soldiers when he was at the Dawali base.

From this, it can be seen that the group of people from Bureau 749 must have discovered the secret under the ancient well in Lange Village and had already entered it in advance, but for some unknown reason, they lost contact with the outside world.

Seeing this, Xu Jianguo knew that the direction of the space servants was correct, so he gave orders to Fu Bo, asking them to leave two people on the well to support, and everyone else to go down.

As the order was given, Fu Bo and others quickly put on their equipment and entered the stone gate in the well in groups of two, leaving only two people on the upper part. After they waited until everyone entered the corridor, they cooperated with the last servant to enter and retrieve the rope under the well.

This was also Xu Jianguo's request. He was worried that people stationed outside the village would enter the village in the dark, and if they discovered the rope at the wellhead, it would cause unnecessary trouble.

It would be better to retract the rope first, and then lower the rope to pick them up when Fu Bo and the others come out.

Fu Bo was the last person to enter the corridor. After he entered, he closed the stone door casually and then walked quickly forward.
