Chapter 200
The passage is about five meters high and one and a half meters wide. The ground is paved with flat stone slabs and the surrounding areas are also cut with stones. The joints between the stones are very smooth, as if they were cut by a machine. It is completely impossible to tell that it is a building built before BC.
"It's so dark?" Andrei was a little frightened, his voice trembling. He spoke through his mask, his voice muffled and not far away, so only those around him could hear.
"You should be afraid because of the light." Chu Huaiqin took out a flashlight from his backpack and turned it on. The light shone about five or six meters in. Lin Zhinan quickly approached Chu Huaiqin, and Xia En also walked to Chu Huaiqin's side.
"Wait, everyone, put on your cameras. Don't delay the live broadcast."
Anthony's voice came from behind. A few people turned around and saw that the staff around them were also quickly putting on protective clothing. It seemed that they also wanted to go in.
"Camera?" Vasily asked curiously, "Can there be a signal inside?"
Chu Huaiqin was stunned and looked at Anthony.
"This is a video recording. Once the signal is cut off, we can keep a record." Anthony put on the mask and waved his hand, signaling the staff to hurry up.
Soon, the staff brought out a box, took out the camera from it and tied it to the heads and waists of Chu Huaiqin and others.
The audience in the live broadcast room were so nervous that they were sweating as they saw everyone fully equipped.
"Has anyone checked which pyramid it is?"
"As far as I know, you can enter the Great Pyramid of Khufu."
"Please, how could it be the Pyramid of Khufu? This one is obviously smaller. More importantly, our target doesn't know their exact location, and the official location hasn't been announced."
"I hope Anthony didn't open the pyramid without consulting me first."
"I think Anthony paid someone, or maybe he collaborated with the locals to promote tourism. Otherwise, there are only about a hundred pyramids in the world, treasures of human civilization. How could a TV crew be allowed in?"
"Yes, you see, the door opened as soon as you pushed it. Someone must have gone in before. That puts my mind at ease."
"Ahhh, there's no point in talking about this. They're going in now. I'm just worried about whether or not we'll see a mummy."
"To be honest, I'm quite curious about the pyramids. I've never seen what's inside them."
"I'm just worried about whether their protective gear has been properly inspected. Even though they said it was just a tourist promotion and people have been inside before, anyone who's read the pyramid report knows that even excavated pyramids can still harbor living bacteria. The production team is really going too far."
"The production team must have been very confident before letting them in. Are you fans annoying?"
"Oh, you fans of the show just want to see excitement, but this is a living life. Shouldn't the production team be responsible for bringing people to such a dangerous place?"
"Aren't there protective suits and masks? The staff went in with them. Don't they know whether it's dangerous or not?"
The live broadcast room was filled with noise, analysis, quarrels, and endless arguments.
After Chu Huaiqin and his team got the camera ready, they began to discuss how to proceed.
"Do you want to cooperate?" Andre looked at them nervously.
"Why should we cooperate? Don't forget, this is the last stop. What else are you planning?" Since the number of people has been reduced, Phili has rarely come forward. It is quite surprising that he suddenly said this now.
Andre didn't expect to be scolded, but when he thought about it, it was the final moment, so who would win if they cooperated?
If they are unwilling to cooperate, then which team will go in front becomes a problem. After all, they are not familiar with the inside, and it is not good to hear the legend of the pyramid.
"How about this, we first work together to walk through this passage, enter the inner room, and then take it apart, how about that?" Chu Huaiqin looked at the sunlight outside. It would be a waste of time to argue any further. He still wanted to complete the task today!
"I agree." Andre expressed his opinion immediately.
"No problem." Liman agreed without waiting for Fili to reply. Fili opened his mouth and closed it again, looking at Liman with dissatisfaction.
After deciding to cooperate, they began assigning tasks. In the front were Liman and Chu Huaiqin, followed by Lin Zhinan and Xia Enfeili, and then Andrei and Vasily. They walked in three rows, half a meter apart, allowing them to maneuver flexibly if they spotted danger.
The two flashlights in the first row were turned on to shine in front. The person in the middle shone his flashlight on the upper and lower walls to check whether there were any poisonous creatures crawling. Andrei and Vasily at the back shone their flashlights in front. Behind them were the staff.
That’s right, the staff didn’t walk in front, but used a drone, and all their people were in the back.
When the live broadcast room saw this distribution, everyone was dumbfounded. Anthony was once again dragged onto the hot search and scolded. Since the announcement of the news of joining the Pyramid yesterday, this is the second time Anthony has been scolded on the hot search.
The passageway inside the pyramid is quite empty, with incomprehensible carvings of ancient figures lining the walls. Half-naked, wearing only grass skirts or linen, they pull boulders or push logs. Every so often, soldiers with weapons stand, and occasionally, figures with goat heads and human bodies can be seen. These murals, seemingly a realistic depiction of the tomb's construction, become even more mysterious because of the goat-headed figures.
"Brother, what is this thing with a sheep's head and a human body?" The further Lin Zhinan walked, the more uneasy he felt, and he couldn't help but ask.
"This god with a goat's head and a human body is specifically responsible for taking care of hunters, farmers and managing slaves. Since the technology for building tombs was not well developed in ancient times, many slaves died in the process. Therefore, goat-headed people were carved in the tombs of ancient Egyptian pharaohs, meaning that they would continue to manage the slaves who died here and serve the dead pharaoh." Chu Huaiqin was quite interested in these murals, especially the various legends about the pyramids. Unfortunately, they are not suitable now.
"You know a lot of things." Liman turned his head to look at Chu Huaiqin and felt that this man knew everything.
"I'm a good student." Chu Huaiqin replied.
The seven of them walked on the flat ground for a while and then started to climb the stairs. The slope was not steep, but it was scary because it was dark ahead.
"ah!"
A scream was heard, and everyone was startled and asked what happened.
"Yes, it's a scorpion." Lin Zhinan stepped forward and grabbed Chu Huaiqin's clothes at the back of his waist.
Several beams of light simultaneously shone towards the place Lin Zhinan pointed, and sure enough, several scorpions and centipedes were seen crawling on the mural, but they quickly crawled into the cracks in the rocks.
"Everyone be careful and don't get close to the stone wall." Chu Huaiqin reminded.
"These little things are hidden in the murals, so it's really hard to identify them. We don't know if they are poisonous or not. We must be careful." Andre agreed with Chu Huaiqin.
This incident served as a warning to everyone, and they became even more cautious on the road ahead, occasionally spotting these little creatures crawling around. They wore gas masks with air filters, so they had no idea what the air was like, but the presence of these little creatures clearly told them they had arrived at an ancient tomb thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of years old.
The seven people continued to move forward, and after a few minutes, they came to a stone gate. There were two soldiers carved on both sides of the stone gate, and a sun with a few words carved on it right above it.
"This must be the sacrificial hall!" Xia En said. Muhammad had told them the general structure of the pyramid before.
"It should be!" Chu Huaiqin said, "Try pushing it."
Andre came up immediately, and Liman also walked forward. The four of them put their hands on the stone door and tried to push it in, but no matter how hard they pushed, there was no movement.
Several people looked at each other.
"See if there are any holes and poke them," Vasily suggested.
"Go ahead and poke it!" Chu Huaiqin replied, he had no choice but to try every possible method.
Poke, but of course not with your hands. What if something escapes? The small knife with a handle that came in his backpack came in handy. He pressed the indented areas. When he had almost pushed the entire door open, Xia Entropy poked the sun sculpture directly above with his hiking pole.
"boom!"
A small rumbling sound was heard, and the faces of several people changed. They quickly took a few steps back and stared at the stone door in front of them. They saw the stone door slowly opening under the gaze of everyone.
"It's open." Andre was incredulous.
"It's open." Liman also looked very happy.
Chu Huaiqin looked thoughtfully at Xia En, and when he nodded, they both smiled.
The door opened, and the seven people cautiously entered. It was a large, spacious stone chamber. The drone flew high, its light pouring down. The seven people, who had been calm, gasped at what they saw. Before them lay a line of figures, bent and kneeling on the ground. Directly before them, a figure with a goat's head and a human body, a sun above its head, lay. This wasn't terrifying; the terrifying thing was the stone coffin beneath the mural.
"Is this the slave room?" Andre asked, swallowing his saliva.
"It should be." Chu Huaiqin nodded.
"Then, who is lying in the sarcophagus?" Andre asked nervously.
Chu Huaiqin shook his head. Did he really think he was an encyclopedia?
"Let's go. Where's the map? Let's see the location of the Pharaoh's sarcophagus." Xia En stared at these things, feeling very uncomfortable.
The others heard and nodded.
The design drawn on the sheepskin did not indicate which was the king's room, but it was divided into levels. In addition to the current level, there were two more levels above it, which meant that they had to climb up.
"Why is it so troublesome?" Fili growled through gritted teeth.
"Do you want to see the mummy?" Vasily looked at the sarcophagus and wanted to find out what was inside.
"No, don't do that!" Lin Zhinan's face turned pale and he clung tightly to Chu Huaiqin.
"Let's go now, and try to get out before the sun sets." Liman put away the map and stuffed it into his backpack.
"Where are the stairs leading up?" Xia En and Chu Huaiqin were still studying. They looked at the map over and over again, but couldn't see the direction of the stairs drawn.
Liman was stunned. He took out the map again and shone it under the light, but he really couldn't find it.
"Let's look for it separately!" Chu Huaiqin felt that this was the only way.
"Are you kidding? Looking for stairs alone in this place?" Phil said unhappily.
Chu Huaiqin: ...
"I'm not talking to you, why are you taking it so personally?" Xia En frowned and snapped back.
"Yes, it shows that you are good at speaking English!" Lin Zhinan echoed.
Fili: ...
Live broadcast room: Hahaha, Fili’s face turned green.

I Conquered the Empire by Brewing

A certain richest man: I want all these cars, this car, and this car.
A certain general: Come on, waiter, take all this wine away from me.
The imperial tyrant came out wearing a pink apron and a small crown on his head: Who are you calling, waiter?
Everyone was terrified and asked anxiously: Is it too late to die now?
Zong Zhengshun: If I like it, it’s mine.
Su Shaobai: I believe you are a good person.
Zong Zhengshun: ...
