Chapter 490
The small drone had just flown around the corner, and under the control of the pilot, the drone released another illuminated glow stick.
Coupled with the powerful beam of the searchlight, the situation in the next section of the tunnel is immediately presented on the surveillance screen.
Compared with the first half of the road, the next section of the road has become wider, reaching a width of about one meter, enough to pass a horse-drawn carriage.
The slope has also become a little smoother, only about thirty degrees.
In this section of the tunnel, it is also covered with dust and moss, and the ground looks quite slippery.
The difference is that on the walls on both sides of this passage, there are many round holes the size of fists.
These round holes are irregularly distributed, dense, like a hornet's nest, and it is creepy to look at.
Don't think about it, those round holes are obviously deadly traps.
As for whether the things arranged inside were flintlock muskets or javelins or crossbows, it is unknown.
In addition to the walls on both sides and the vaults above the tunnel, some round holes can occasionally be seen.
Obviously, these are some traps for top-down attacks.
And this is just a trap that can be seen visually.
In those dark corners that can't be seen, God knows how many more deadly traps there are.
For example, on those slippery steps, on the sides of the walls and behind the vaults, etc.
It is a straight downward passage with no bends in between.
With the light of the searchlight, everyone can see.
At the end of this arched passage is a heavy stone gate.
Behind that stone door is the underground chamber that was previously detected by ground penetrating radar.
As for what secrets or treasures are hidden in that underground chamber, it is unknown for the time being.
Only by opening the stone door can you know the situation inside the secret room.
Looking at the picture on the big-screen TV, everyone gasped and shivered.
"Oh my God! There are indeed traps in this underground tunnel, and so many of them, it's amazing!
"Wow! Where is this underground secret room, it is simply an underground fortress, the British colonists obviously put a lot of thought into
it" "In the early eighteenth century, this was a military training ground, and it should be the British army that built this place, so no one knows"
Everyone started talking, and everyone was very excited.
In particular, several professors at the Yale School of History are even more eyebrows-warming.
For them, this is definitely an unexpected surprise
, even if there is nothing in the underground secret room, just this underground building, it is enough for them to study for a while and publish a series of articles!
Several Harvard University professors who were also at the scene were full of bitterness and envious eyes!
Some of the media reporters gathered outside the cemetery, across the police cordon, and observed the situation with a telephoto lens.
Through the telephoto lens, they also saw something, and the scene immediately set off a commotion.
"Wow! Sean's guys found an underground space and looked at a dark passage that sloped downward: "
There is no doubt that deep underground in that tomb, there is indeed a treasure hidden, Sean this guy is really lucky!"
While exclaiming, these guys sent out the pictures they captured.
As soon as these live pictures came out, they immediately caused a huge sensation in the outside world and attracted countless attention.
In particular, many scholars who study American history are all excited and envious.
Experts and scholars in Boston and the surrounding area have walked out of their homes and driven straight to Boston Common.
Of course, there are countless greedy covetous eyes that are closely watching the situation here.
Some guys even took action right away, rushing to Boston Common.
Central cemetery site.
Xiao Ran looked at the picture transmitted by the small drone, pondered for a while, and then said
to the pilot next to him: "Haipeng, don't release the fluorescent lighting stick first, you fly the second half
of the Yong Road" "Observe the situation in those round holes on the left and right walls, and see what weapons are arranged in those round holes
" "Then fly to the end of the Yong Road, see the situation of the stone gate, and then talk about the next action
" "Understand, look at me"
Haipeng nodded in response and immediately took action.
This guy is also a Chinese student who graduated from UCLA and has a good relationship with Xiao Ran.
When I graduated before, I saw that I couldn't return to China smoothly, so I also came to work for Xiao Ran.
Since drones play very well, he became a drone pilot.
Of course, he only worked as a pilot in exploration operations.
In Xiao Ran's security team, there are also several pilots, and everyone has different divisions of labor.
Under the control of Haipeng, the small drone immediately flew into the second half of the Yongdao and continued to explore.
In a matter of moments, the small drone has flown in front of a round hole in the right wall.
As the searchlight shines in, the situation in the round hole is immediately revealed.
What appears on the surveillance screen is a rusty javelin head.
The unusually sharp tip of this javelin, coupled with the thick rust, undoubtedly greatly increased the lethality.
"Shhh!"
There was a gasping sound at the scene, and everyone was startled.
Everyone can see very clearly that the power of this javelin is very amazing.
If it is shot at a person, it will absolutely penetrate instantly.
The rust on it will cause further magical damage to the injured.
Before the exclamation fell, Xiao Ran's voice came out again.
"Haipeng, check the rest of the round holes and steps, the trigger points of these traps should be on those slippery steps
" "Okay"
Haipeng nodded in response.
Immediately afterwards, the small drone flew to another round hole in the opposite wall.
Sure enough!
In the round hole in the opposite wall, a deadly javelin was also placed.
Subsequently, the small drone lowers the flight altitude and adjusts the angle of the searchlight and HD camera to shoot the steps below.
However, a layer of dust and moss was attached to the steps below, and the situation on the steps was not clear for a while.
But think with your heels and know it.
The most likely trigger point for the deadly trap in this passage is the steps below.
Next, the small drone flew to the vault above to see what was going on in a round hole in the vault.
In that round hole, a sharp javelin was also placed, pointing directly at the steps below.
If someone enters this section of tunnel, they accidentally trigger the mechanism on the steps.
The next thing he will face is a three-sided blow from the left and right sides and overhead.
In this case, the intruder does not have time to react, and in an instant he will be pierced through the cold and nailed to the steps.
Seeing such a deadly trap, everyone felt a cold breath rushing from the soles of their feet and rushing straight to their brains.
At this time, the small drone in the Yongdao adjusted its attitude again and continued to fly down along the Yongdao.
During the flight, the small drone constantly probed the situation in the tunnel.
Those round holes in the vault and the walls on both sides, as well as the steps below, are within the scope of exploration.
In those round holes, you can see a lot of deadly javelins, as well as a lot of crossbow arrows and so on.
Because the muskets of the Revolutionary War were flintlock type, gunpowder was very susceptible to moisture, resulting in the inability to fire smoothly.
Perhaps because of this, no muzzles of muskets were found in those machine traps.
On the steps below, nothing unusual was found.
There was a layer of dust and moss on all the steps, and it was impossible to see the real situation.
However, everyone who looks at the surveillance footage understands.
These seemingly normal steps are the most dangerous places and the most deadly!
Those who enter the tunnel have no way of distinguishing where these steps are safe and where they are deadly traps.
If you don't know the way to pass this Yong Road, those who enter this Yong Road will definitely die ten times and have no life!
As long as one is not careful, it is a tragic end to being shot into a hornet's nest.
Of course, Xiao Ran is not among them.
For him, there was no problem at all to pass through this secret passage safely.
In the blink of an eye, the small drone had flown to the end of the Yong Road and flew in front of the heavy stone gate.
The first time the small drone flew close to the stone door, everyone saw it.
In the center of that stone door, a huge St. George flag is carved, which is quite eye-catching.
Under the cover of dust and moss, coupled with the oxidation that has occurred over the years, and when the secret passage has just been opened.
The color of this St. George flag has fallen off most of its color and is somewhat blackened, but you can still see the outline of the red cross on a white background.
In addition to this St. George flag, on each side of this stone door, stands a statue of a knight holding a long sword.
Then there are some scattered round holes, and two niches for placing lamps and so on.
Other than that, there is nothing else.
Seeing this scene, the crowd gathered in front of the large-screen TV immediately resounded with excited cheers.
"Look! There is a St. George flag on the stone gate, there is no doubt that this underground building is indeed from the hands of British colonists
" "Needless to say, the discovery of this underground building will absolutely sensation the whole country, such historical sites, there are few places in the country
" "Oh my God! The specifications of this underground secret room are so high, it is impossible to imagine what secrets or treasures are hidden in it"
Just as everyone was cheering, Xiao Ran had already issued an order again.
"Haipeng, release a lighting glow stick, illuminate here, by the way, test whether the trap here is still sensitive
" "Be careful when releasing the lighting glow stick, and immediately pull the small drone back to a safe place when the glow stick falls
" Hearing the command, Haipeng immediately nodded excitedly and said:
"Gotta go! Watch my performance! With
that, he put it into action.
An illuminated glow stick quietly fell and smashed into the ground in front of the stone gate.
As soon as the glow stick was released, the small drone immediately retreated and flew back a meter or two at a rapid speed.
When the small drone was still retreating, the glow stick lit in half had been lightly smashed on the ground.
In the next instant, the abnormality suddenly appeared.
