Chapter 78 Race with Death

Yuanxiao said these words with a righteous intent, completely forgetting that he was obviously a tomb robber. Yuanxiao took out a triangular knife, reached into the hole used as a blasting point, and cleaned up the gravel inside. Then, he pulled out the seal plug and filled the expansion agent in the "syringe tube" with the hole.

We all focused on watching the operation of Lantern Festival, and suddenly I subconsciously shivered. What's going on? I felt very cold. Could it be that I had sweated a lot just now? I reached out to wrap my clothes tightly, but it seemed that it didn't work much.

No! I suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong. I took my eyes off the Lantern Festival, rubbed my hands that had become cold, and sighed, "Do you feel that it seems to be getting colder?"

The second uncle nodded, "Well, it's really a little cold. This is probably not a good sign!"

Wen Mo turned the flashlight and thought about taking photos inside the square hole, "Do you still remember the scene when we saw those white mucus in the thief hole for the first time?"

After Wen Mo said this, recalling his experience in the thieving hole, I found that these two times were really similar. They were both narrow and long holes, both sealed by gravel, and also suddenly temperature changes.

The temperature drop now means that the white mucus is approaching! Thinking of this, my heart beat wildly. I quickly urged Yuanxiao: "Lanxiao, hurry up, we don't have much time!"

"Don't urge, don't urge, I'm already very fast!" Yuanxiao muttered, and pointed the catalyst in a small bottle into the expansion agent at the blasting point.

Yuanxiao squatted and took two steps back, "Okay, all we can do is wait."

We all looked nervously at the expansion explosives poured into the wall. Time passed by little, but except for some milky white expansion agent being squeezed out, there was no change in the rest.

I was a little tired when I stared at it, so I turned to look at Lantern Festival, "How confident are you?"

Yuanxiao's eyes flashed for a moment and she said, "It's almost the same, about fifty percent!"

"What?" I really wanted to kick him, "You kid was so good at bragging just now, and how scared you are now?! Fifty percent? This chance is like farting when you say it!"

Yuanxiao was not convinced, "Who said it was 50%, I said it was 58%! The possibility of success is relatively high!"

"You!" I was so lazy to have such a lawsuit with Yuanxiao. "You really give me face. The possibility of my survival has increased by 8% so much!"

"Zhuoran, please stop talking about me. I can still have an expansion explosive. Do you have a better way?!"

"Okay, OK!" Uncle Er slapped each of us in the head, "Can you two stop talking? Are you still a child?" Uncle Er asked Yuanxiao: "How long does this expansion explosive take to take effect?"

Yuanxiao thought for a while and said, "It's about ten minutes!"

Uncle Er nodded, "Well, it should be similar. I know that the principle of this expansion explosive is to use chemical action to make the infused expansion agent expand greatly, and use this volume to achieve the purpose of destruction. Therefore, although this thing is called expansion explosive, it is still very different from traditional explosives. It requires a certain chemical reaction time."

Yuanxiao received the support of her second uncle and became proud again, looking at me with great pride.

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, but turned my head and found that the squeezed expansion agent had begun to grow and solidify. It was a little bit like mung beans just now, but now it has become a small egg. I reached out and touched it, and the surface of the expansion agent had become a little harder.

When Lantern Festival saw my movements, she reminded me: "Zhuoran, be careful. I heard from the German foreigner that this expansion explosive has a very large volume change. When used, it may rush out of the blasting mouth. It has a huge impact. When used, you must stay away from the blasting mouth to avoid danger."

I snorted, "I hope it will be so useful." As I said this, I left the position facing the blasting mouth as reminded by Lantern Festival.

The temperature at this time had become even lower. Suddenly, Wenmo said, "Here is here!" The two short words, like a hammer, hit hard in my heart. I hurriedly followed Wenmo's flashlight and saw in horror that some white mucus had spread out at the corner at the end of the square hole.

"Damn!" Yuanxiao straightened up suddenly, "It really appeared!"

I grabbed Yuanxiao and said, "Hurry and see why your thing hasn't reacted yet? Is it because some catalyst is not enough?" I became very nervous and afraid at this time, because I had seen the power of this white mucus. The corpse that was melted and solidified again was still shaking in front of me. I don't want myself to become that miserable!

Suddenly, a loud "bang" sound came from the blasting mouth, and a wave of expansion agent was really sprayed out. This thing flew over my scalp like a bullet, hitting heavily on the opposite wall, smashing a piece of blue brick on the wall. I felt scared, just now, Lanxiao gave a reminder, and I moved my position, otherwise I would have been shot in the head now.

But after this shock, we were surprised. We only heard a crisp "click" sound from the wall filled with molten iron. We looked carefully and saw that the extremely hard wall just now had been "exploded" by the expanded explosives.

I couldn't suppress the excitement in my heart and patted Lantern Festival hard: "It's so awesome!"

Although Lanxiao was full of disbelief, she still pretended to be x-speaking, "That's that, that's it, don't you see who your buddy is!"

"No need to delay! Let's do it quickly!" Uncle Er said as he started to smash. We stopped hesitating and quickly joined in.

This kind of wall was really tricky when it was a whole at first, but once it was torn apart, its overall structure was destroyed, and the blue bricks and cast iron that originally supported and squeezed each other would become fragile.

With our joint efforts, we soon smashed a hole in these two blue brick walls that could be passed by one person.

Since we don't know how much white mucus will flow here, although I estimated it wouldn't be too big from my experience last time, to be safe, we still hit the hole in the hole wall near the top of the hole. In this way, unless the white mucus fills the square hole, it will definitely not affect us.

When the hardest obstacles were broken by us, the rest was the sealed soil filled when building the tomb, which was much simpler for us. We were sharp engineer shovels in our hands. If we were to deal with this soil, it would be a bit exaggerated if it was cut tofu, but it was almost like cutting frozen tofu.

Although our speed was already very fast, the speed of the white mucus was not slow. As a last resort, we piled all the blue bricks and sealed soil in front, forming a "dike" to block the progress of the white mucus.

However, doing so can only temporarily slow down the progress of the mucus, but at the same time it will also bring certain risks, that is, once the height of the white mucus rises beyond the height of the "dike" we built, the phenomenon of "dike collapse" will immediately occur, and those "white gods of death" will swallow us in an instant.

We had to dig hard, this is a real race against death, and death is not far from us.

At this time, Uncle Er's command and our tacit cooperation became a basis for us to advance quickly. The space in this place was small and it was impossible for four people to act at the same time. So I and Yuanxiao first dug out the rough shape of the hole, and then Wen Mo and Uncle Er used their experience to rest and strengthen the hole, and set some point of rest on both sides.

The four people cooperated together to maintain enough physical strength and ensure high-speed efficiency. Soon a slanted hole was punched out.

Uncle Er looked at the "dike" we used to block the white mucus. At this time, there were signs of collapse. Some white mucus had seeped out of the cracks in the gravel and the sealing soil. And the white mucus blocked behind the "dike" was already overflowing.

At this time, we are on the verge of life and death. The "dam" we have accumulated may collapse at any time. By that time, white mucus will swell out and we will not even have a chance to escape.

The second uncle hurriedly urged us, "Hurry up! Get out of here quickly, go into the thief hole first, and dig while walking. Otherwise it would be too late!"

We nodded quickly. Wen Mo undoubtedly became the pioneer again. Although Uncle Er has rich experience in digging holes, he is still so old that he can't keep up with his physical strength.

After Wen Mo got in first, Uncle Er signaled us to go first, but Yuanxiao firmly disagreed, "I'd better go to the end. Just my body, if the hole is blocked, half is above and half is below. At that time, the white mucus flows over, we will die immediately. You should go first, stop talking nonsense! There is no time!"

I couldn't help but look at Lantern Festival. Although Lantern Festival is sometimes quite unreliable and is unreliable every time it comes, whenever it is critical, Lantern Festival can always stand up. He is really one of the few people who can make me trust unconditionally.

Now is not the time to be pretentious, and the second uncle nodded and crawled up with Wenmo. I patted Yuanxiao on the shoulder and said, "Brother, come on!" Yuanxiao smiled at me and nodded, "Don't worry!"

So I turned around and climbed up with my second uncle. At this time, Wen Mo's thief hole had turned in one direction and hit the side.
