Chapter 229: Armor
"I think it's more like you are making nonsense." Yang Qi said.
"It's all nonsense...but these caves are used to hold infected people in prisons. There is no doubt about this." Sun Hang said with an indifferent expression.
Anyway, he was just guessing based on his intuition. No matter whether he guessed correctly or not, as long as he continued to explore, he would get the answer sooner or later.
"Since the other end of Cave No. 13 is also connected to the main tunnel, there is no need for us to explore in depth." Yang Qi jumped out of the cave and continued walking along the main tunnel.
Several snake-shaped drones were recovered, and the remaining six people and a dozen or so corpses controlled by Zhong Ling continued to walk forward along the main tunnel.
However, after walking less than a hundred meters, Sun Hang, who was leading the way, suddenly raised his fisted right hand.
This is a stop-in-progress gesture.
"What's wrong?" Yang Qi subconsciously put her hand on the shoulder bag containing the weapon and asked in a low voice.
"Let me just say...there must be jailers or guards between the entrance and exit of Cave No. 13..." Sun Hang said with a smile, "I should have made a bet with you if I had known."
"Do you feel the aura of the strange thing?" Wang Xiyi asked.
"Yeah." Sun Hang nodded.
"How strong is it?" Ye Xuan asked next.
"It's hard to comment." Sun Hang looked at Wang Xiyi, "Shall I go over and give it a try?"
"Let's go there together." Wang Xiyi said, "Be safe."
"That's okay." Sun Hang nodded and asked the others to stay where they were, while he and Wang Xiyi continued to walk forward.
Soon, he saw the "source" of the strange aura.
They were two remains wearing armor, but the strange aura did not emanate from the remains, but came from the armor they wore.
"It's a kind of artifact." Sun Hang said, he couldn't help but think of Ye Jiu's 'killing', "If this thing can be taken back to the place, it can be transformed into a artifact, right? I just don’t know if I can find a qualified person with the right synchronization rate.”
As soon as Sun Hang finished speaking, there was a sound of rusty iron scraping, and the two armors slowly climbed up from the ground, driving the corroded skeleton they wrapped.
There was a "swish" sound, and the long sword was unsheathed. Compared with the rusty armor, these two sabers were perfectly preserved. The cold light of the blade could even vaguely reflect the reflections of Sun Hang and Wang Xiyi.
"It seems that the other party is not willing to become a trick device." Wang Xiyi smiled and said, "Are you coming or am I coming?"
"One for each, let's see who is faster?" Sun Hang suggested as he turned his head.
"Okay." Wang Xiyi's voice remained in place, but she had already rushed out. The huge dragon wings opened, and a strong air flow pressed Sun Hang in place.
"Let's go, why are you running away and causing interference!" Sun Hang shouted immediately, but he was not suppressed by the air flow swept by the dragon wings for long. A cold light flashed, and the wind pressure was cut directly in the middle. In the blink of an eye, Sun Hang had already approached another Zha Jia, and his fist wrapped in blue flames directly hit Zha Jia's chest.
"You are using all my abilities, how dare you say that?" Wang Xiyi glanced at Sun Hang between attacks, but her eyes were full of smiles, which was in stark contrast to her complaining tone. contrast.
"Hey, other people's skills are easy to use." Sun Hang's fist directly penetrated Zha Jia's chest. The long-broken remains and the ropes connecting Zha Jia were instantly burned to ashes and lost their support. The armor pieces fell to the ground one after another...
Just when Sun Hang was about to try to see if his current strength could control these deceitful metal armor pieces, the armor pieces that had just landed were like countless rust-colored beetles, crawling along his legs and onto his On his body, a complete armor was formed again on his body.
"Is this...surrender?"
Before Sun Hang had time to rejoice, countless barbs suddenly sprouted from the inside of those metal armor pieces, piercing deeply into Sun Hang's flesh!
"What kind of tetanus attack..." Sun Hang shut down his pain perception in time. The next second, Taotie's ability began to absorb... In a few breaths, all the memes carried in these armor plates were absorbed by him. Absorbed completely.
Along with the armor, some fragments of memory fragments were also absorbed.
He felt as if he had returned to a time when this underground facility had not been abandoned yet. In the dark tunnel, burning torches made crackling sounds, and warriors wearing heavy armor stood like statues. Beside the wall... and a little further away, inside the bifurcated caves, there would be some weird noises from time to time.
Screams, roars, laughter... Of course, the most common ones are murmurs of unknown meaning...
The entrance and exit of each cave are sealed with a mesh made of cross-welded steel bars as thick as a finger. A group of people in black robes walk through the tunnel carrying oil lamps. Every time they come to a cave, they will lift the oil lamps to take a closer look inside the cave. situation.
The information carried by these armor-piercing pieces stopped here. Sun Hang immediately turned to look at Wang Xiyi - he originally wanted to absorb the other armor-piercing piece to see if he could get some different information. Memory fragments, but just as he was digesting this information, Wang Xiyi had melted the other armor directly, leaving only a pool of red molten iron.
The memetic atmosphere inside the molten iron has completely disappeared - without the carrier, naturally no memory fragments can be preserved.
"Did you start too quickly?" Sun Hang glanced at the molten iron that had begun to solidify on the ground and couldn't help but complain.
"Obviously your side ended faster than mine..." Wang Xiyi rolled her eyes at Sun Hang, "You're playing Versailles with me, right?"
"No...I mean, I want to absorb it..." Sun Hang shook his head helplessly, "Comrade Lao Wang, this is a serious waste of food."
< br>
"Okay... I will meet the strange thing again later. I will definitely give it a breath and deliver it to you... Do you want it steamed or braised?" Wang Xiyi fluttered her wings slightly and landed next to Sun Hang.
"I like deep-frying." Sun Hang said.
"It's somewhat unhealthy." Wang Xiyi laughed again, "But I like unhealthy things."
"I find that you seem to like to laugh very much now." Sun Hang said.
"Didn't I love to laugh before?"
"The smile before was like a fake smile, not the kind of smile that comes from the heart." Sun Hang commented. "You're just faking a smile!" Wang Xiyi punched Sun Hang, but the moment her fist was about to touch Sun Hang, she suddenly stopped her force, and finally lightly knocked on Sun Hang's shoulder.
"Your smile at that time gave me a feeling." Sun Hang said, "It's like the smile of a person whose life is running out. The smile before death is full of helpless paleness."
"Why don't I feel it myself?" Wang Xiyi grinned, "You guys, sometimes I'm not used to being artistic all of a sudden."
"At that time, you didn't seem to care about anything, including your own life and death... When there was a mission from above, you would go and carry it out. When there was no mission, you would just stay at home and watch cartoons and special effects films. Anesthetize yourself with alcohol," Sun Hang said, "It doesn't seem like you are living, it seems like you are waiting for death in boredom."
"Life is a process of waiting for death to come." Wang Xiyi shrugged, "Besides, when have I ever been drunk?"
"Don't you often lie drunk and disheveled on my sofa?" Sun Hang glanced at her, "Your face is as red as a monkey's butt."
"Fuck you!" Wang Xiyi scolded, "I was testing you to see if you would sneak up on me while I was drunk... But you are a coward, really boring... At that time, I really doubted whether you were good at that.”
"Are you still doubting it now?" Sun Hang chuckled, "By the way, if I really did something at that time, what would you do?"
Sun Hang still remembered that Yang Qi mentioned to him that there was a new hunter in Tianfu City who asked the institute to find him a young and beautiful girl to live with as soon as he opened his mouth. As a result, Wang Xiyi directly broke three ribs... If If I dared to have any crooked thoughts while Wang Xiyi was pretending to be drunk, I'm afraid more than three ribs would be broken...
"It depends on your mood at the time... If you are in a good mood, maybe I will cooperate with you. Anyway, I am not at a loss... If you are in a bad mood, then you may be in trouble." Wang Xiyi recalled.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"I know you are pretending to be drunk." Sun Hang said, "With that little alcohol content, how could you possibly be so drunk that a female dragon would fall down..."
"Thankfully, I have stopped taking the medicine now. If you had dared to call me that before, with my bad temper at that time, I would probably have beaten you to the ground." Wang Xiyi threatened in front of Sun Hang. Shake his fist.
"Let's go, it's time to go back." Sun Hang waved, "Don't let Director Yang and the others worry."
"Can't you just search for any hidden objects nearby?" Wang Xiyi turned her gaze elsewhere and said with some guilt.
Obviously, she was somewhat reluctant to Sun Hang's proposal.
Why is this guy so clueless sometimes? Wang Xiyi thought dullly in her heart... It was not easy for the two of them to be alone, so why was he so anxious to meet up with others?
In those TV dramas and novels, isn’t the time when the relationship between men and women has just been established the most inseparable time...
It's impossible... to get tired of it so quickly, right?
Wouldn't he be looking for that little girl named Zhong Ling when he went up tonight?
Her figure shouldn't be as good as mine, right?
No, she is younger than him...and her type seems to be called "three noes", right? I heard that some men seem to like this.
Damn this scumbag...
No, I'm so angry... I have to find a way to beat him up to vent my anger...
But it seems that I can't beat him... and I seem a little reluctant to beat him...
Just when Wang Xiyi was thinking wildly, Sun Hang had already grabbed her hand and led her back directly.
"Eh..." Wang Xiyi was startled, and subconsciously wanted to break away, but then she thought... No, I'm just trying to break free. I've already given it to him, so what's the big deal about holding hands...
It’s not like hunters are not allowed to fall in love, so the worst thing is to report it to the agency...
Anyway, I was bumped into by Yang Lian this morning. Sooner or later, this relationship will be made public to everyone...
Wang Xiyi and Sun Hang held hands and walked in front of everyone.
"What's going on with you guys?" Yang Qi held on to the frames of her goggles in confusion, with a strange expression on her face.
Yang Lian and Ye Xuan looked normal, Zhulong smiled and said nothing... As for Zhong Ling, she lowered her head, her neat bangs fell down, and her whole face was hidden in the shadows. Sun Hang also saw I don't know what kind of expression she has now.
"What's going on?" Sun Hang naturally let go of Wang Xiyi's hand, walked over and patted Yang Qi on the shoulder.
"I mean you...you two?"
"The two of us have just solved the strange things blocking the road ahead." Sun Hang took over the conversation and said, "The two armors on the dead people turned into artifacts for some reason... but the strength is not high. The whole battle only lasts a few seconds.”
"Armor? Artifacts and weird objects?" It has to be said that Yang Qi is indeed a workaholic. Sun Hang just changed the topic slightly, and her attention was completely attracted. "Is there any wreckage left?"
"Yes." Sun Hang handed over a specimen bag, which was filled with incomplete pieces of rusty armor.
"This kind of armor..." Yang Qi carefully looked at the contents inside through the transparent specimen bag, "rectangular iron leaf-pierced armor, connected in series with animal tendons, leather strips or fine linen ropes, with the openings located at the edge of the armor. , the rope is in the shape of a fork... This seems to be the style of the Han Dynasty? Is this ruin so old? ”
"I didn't expect you, Director Yang, to have such a deep understanding of armor?" Sun Hang said in surprise.
"The theme of my undergraduate thesis was armors and weapons... Although I was unable to go to the No. 1 Research Institute under Tianshu Tower due to transfer reasons, I still consulted a lot of information on this kind of things. "Yang Qi said, "But the one found earlier The bones of the infected people are only a hundred and forty years old." Wang Xiyi asked curiously, "If the armor is from the Han Dynasty...then are the two guards wearing cultural relics? Was it already a monster before you put it on? ”
"Where are the corpses of the two guards?" Yang Qi asked.
Sun Hang and Wang Xiyi showed embarrassed looks on their faces, and said in unison: "Sorry, burned."
Seemingly surprised by the ridiculously high synchronization rate between the two, Yang Qi looked at them with some surprise. Just when she wanted to continue asking something, Zhulong suddenly came over and said:
"Don't look at it, this thing is imitation... If you look at the metal texture of this piece of armor, you can see that it is rolled by modern industrial equipment rather than forged by hand."
"There are a lot of these armor-plated pieces on the antique market in Chunming City... made in the Qin Dynasty, made in the Han Dynasty... they are available from whichever 'dynasty' you want. They are specially used to deceive those who are new to the antiques pit and don't know anything. You understand," Zhulong continued, "Those old scammers dare to offer four-digit prices for industrial products that cost just a few cents a piece."
