194. Sealing Mission
Time was running out, thinking that someone unknown had secretly dug a hole into the underground palace of the imperial city, Cai Dalong felt like a fire in his heart, extremely anxious.
Turning on the body-worn camera on the anti-riot helmet, he walked in the front of the team, and was the first to fasten the safety rope, ready to get into the hole dug by Wang Laoer and others.
This hole was found in the flowerbed of a small courtyard, surrounded by flowers and plants, if you don't pay attention, it is really not easy to find.
With a sullen face, Cai Dalong was lowered into a hole with a diameter of about one meter by his colleagues bit by bit with a safety rope. Chen Youcai stared at him, and he couldn't help feeling nervous.
Fortunately, after a while, Cai Dalong's dull voice came from the cave, and everyone in the cave heaved a sigh of relief.
"No problem, come down!"
Immediately afterwards, everyone lined up to drill into the hole one by one. Chen Youcai was deliberately placed in the third-to-last position, and there were people from all over to help watch, so that his safety was fully guaranteed.
"Don't talk too much, be careful around you."
When all the personnel gathered in the underground palace tunnel under the cave, Cai Dalong looked stern, and lowered his voice to give instructions, then carefully clenched the electric shock baton flashlight in his hand, and groped into the depths of the underground palace step by step.
"The underground palace in the imperial city of the old dynasty is rumored to be owned by Mr. Zhu Baxiu. The purpose is to prevent his descendants from being forced into the palace in the future. At least there is a secret way to escape..."
Shaokang walked next to Chen Youcai, his lips moved slightly, and he explained to him in a voice like a mosquito.
"There are many forks in the underground palace, and there are hidden traps. Even after hundreds of years, some of them can still be triggered, so be very careful and don't mess around."
As he spoke in a low voice, Chen Youcai nodded silently, listening attentively to the movements around him.
It has to be said that the tunnels in the underground palace are narrow and long, and some places are obviously used for setting up ambushes, and there are holes for hiding soldiers dug on both sides.
It was also the first time that Shaokang and the others had drilled so deep in the tunnel. They kept shaking their flashlights all the way, for fear that something would suddenly pounce on them from the darkness.
Fumbling forward all the way like this, Cai Dalong walked at the head of the team, constantly using the walkie-talkie to keep in touch with the ground.
Turning around an extremely narrow corner, just as Cai Dalong was hesitating whether to retreat temporarily, two half-closed stone doors appeared within everyone's field of vision.
The dragon pattern was carved on the stone gate, which obviously revealed a royal style, and everyone immediately became excited.
This is clearly the main road leading to the end of the underground palace!
"Please note, there are only 500 meters left to seal the target!"
Chen Youcai also stretched his neck, taking advantage of the pale halo of everyone's flashlights, to carefully examine the carvings on the stone gate.
The next moment, a line of small cinnabar characters appeared out of nowhere in the field of vision, and Chen Youcai's eyes were straightened, and he was stunned.
"Doctor Chen, what's the matter with you? Don't be afraid, follow us, there's no big problem."
Shaokang patted Chen Youcai on the shoulder, thinking that he was frightened by the mysterious and eerie atmosphere in the tunnel, so he smiled and comforted him in a low voice.
"Well, I just feel that there may be danger ahead. After all, those gangsters who sneaked into the underground palace are likely to be still inside. If they run into each other..."
Chen Youcai sneered, but Cai Dalong nodded quite seriously.
He said sternly: "Dr. Chen is right, the situation ahead is not clear, we can't move on, just wait here for ground support."
Although the other team members were very curious about the world after Shimen, they obediently obeyed the order and began to sit down and adjust.
Chen Youcai also sat down, anyway, according to the description of the sealing task, he was just an assistant, not the main force, so he didn't need to work too hard.
What's more, the target who needs to be sealed is called an "evil messenger" by the merit book, which is not something to provoke.
The risk is too great, let's wait for the main force of the sealing mission to arrive.
Thinking of this, Chen Youcai took out his mobile phone and wanted to search the Internet for relevant information about the underground palace of the imperial city.
As a result, in this underground passage, the mobile phone signal disappeared immediately, and it was impossible to make calls.
"I estimate that the underground is tens of meters away from the ground."
Shaokang handed Chen Youcai a piece of chewing gum, his mouth moved, and he said in a low voice: "When the task is over, I will call Lao Wu and the others out, and we will go drink and drink together at night."
"Don't you patrol at night?"
Chen Youcai took the gum, chewed it silently in his mouth, and asked casually.
"They're all on shifts, so I'm free tonight. Don't refuse, Dr. Chen."
Shaokang chuckled, and winked at Chen Youcai mischievously: "That barbecue stall is opened by Old Wu's cousin, who is so pretty..."
He wanted to continue talking, but there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and then someone asked in a low voice: "Where is Captain Cai of the patrol team, we are ordered to come to support."
With a clatter, all the members of the patrol team who were still relaxing and recuperating all stood up and looked at the person coming.
Cai Dalong stepped forward even more, and said with a serious expression: "I am Cai Dalong, we suspect that the criminals have entered the depths of the underground palace."
"You have done a good job, stay here and let me lead the team in."
The one who spoke was an energetic old man with thinning hair and a ruddy complexion, wearing a black suit that didn't seem to fit well.
Chen Youcai opened his mouth wide, staring blankly at the old guy who was trying to maintain a serious image, it was very difficult to connect him with the old man in white vest wearing flip flops and waving a cattail fan.
Messenger of merit, this bad old man is indeed a high-level messenger of merit to carry out this sealing task!
Realizing this, Chen Youcai's heart jumped wildly, and his eyes hurriedly moved behind the old man.
Sure enough, there were three men and one woman standing behind the old guy, all of them looked extremely serious.
A total of five high-level merit envoys, including himself at the end of the crane...Chen Youcai felt as if a big stone had been pressed on his heart, which made him feel suffocated.
The degree of danger of this sealing mission far exceeded Chen Youcai's expectation.
The stand-in spell only revealed the tip of the iceberg, but the sealing team composed of five high-level merit envoys is fully revealing the seriousness of the situation!
"Mister, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Just when Cai Dalong was a little dazed, he faintly felt that it was really inappropriate to let these five guys enter the underground palace.
Chen Youcai hesitated for a while, but still bit the bullet, and moved closer to the side of that bad old man.
He blinked desperately, for fear that the other party would not understand his intention.
Fortunately, the old man seemed to have guessed something, he winked at the three men and one woman behind him, and then smiled at Chen Youcai: "Doctor Chen, what a coincidence."
"Yes, yes, what a coincidence, hehe..."
Chen Youcai laughed so embarrassingly, because the eyes of Cai Dalong and others behind him had become extremely astonished.
"Dr. Chen is a very good medical expert. I hope he can accompany us to ensure our safety."
Although the bad old man said it to Chen Youcai, he was clearly explaining it to Cai Dalong... The latter looked at his companions in blank dismay, and nodded half understanding.
"It seems that Dr. Chen has no opinion, so let's go."
The old guy didn't wait for Chen Youcai to speak, he grabbed his shoulders and strode deep into the underground palace.
"Boy, you really want money and don't want your life, dare to take such a dangerous task?!"
After walking for a while, the old man let go of his hand, glared at Chen Youcai rather speechlessly, and scolded in a low voice.
"Isn't it because you still sit in town all the time, I'm just getting some merit points and good values, haha."
Chen Youcai patted a rainbow fart in a doggy manner, and the old man's expression softened a little, but he still said in a deep voice: "Be careful yourself, if you mess up the things in the underground palace, the five of us can't deal with them."
With a click, the smile on Chen Youcai's face froze slightly, and then he walked silently to the end of the line.
