Chapter 251

Due to the fierce attack of the blood bats, Zhang Xing and Geng Jianhui became more and more convinced that the mysterious secret was most likely hidden in the stone cave in this sunken area.

The abnormal behavior of those blood bats seemed to be doing their best to defend this mysterious place and not allow any outsiders to easily break in.

However, this fierce resistance inspired Zhang Xing and Geng Jianhui to explore more strongly in their hearts. They clearly realized that there might be crucial clues here, and it might even be the key to solving a series of mysteries.

Although Zhang Xing and Geng Jianhui knew very well that there must be dangers in this stone cave in the sunken area. There are not only ferocious blood bats here, but also other unknown dangers. However, in order to find the truth of the matter and to complete their mission, both of them showed a look of facing death. Their eyes flashed with determination and courage, and it seemed that no difficulty could stop them from moving forward.

Zhang Xing held the weapon tightly in his hand, and his eyes stared ahead, as if to penetrate all obstacles in the darkness. His breathing was steady and deep, showing his inner calmness and composure. He knew that this adventure was full of challenges, but he was not afraid and was determined to move forward.

Geng Jianhui stood aside, his body slightly leaning forward, ready to fight at any time. His eyes flashed with determination and determination, revealing an indomitable spirit. He knew that this might be a life-and-death battle, but he was ready and willing to pay any price for the belief in his heart.

The two looked at each other, conveying silent encouragement and support to each other.

Soon, Zhang Xing and Geng Jianhui began to check their equipment. Zhang Xing carefully turned on the flashlight and carefully checked the battery power to ensure that the flashlight could continue to glow in the dark environment. Then, he carefully checked the tools he carried with him, such as sharp knives, sturdy ropes, etc., to ensure that these tools were in the best condition and could be used at any time.

At the same time, Geng Jianhui was concentrating on checking his communication equipment and trying to establish contact with the outside world. However, the signal in the cave was extremely poor, as if blocked by an invisible force, making it impossible for him to communicate effectively with the outside world.

Although there was a wave of disappointment in his heart, Geng Jianhui was not discouraged. Instead, he silently put the communication equipment back into his pocket, knowing that he could only rely on himself at this moment. Then, they looked at each other and began to carefully check whether there were any wounds or injuries on each other. Their eyes intertwined, revealing their concern for each other's safety.

After a careful observation, both of them breathed a sigh of relief and confirmed that they were fine. Finally, they walked into the cave again.

The deeper cave was filled with humid air, and a faint light flickered on the wall, as if it was a reflection of some mysterious power. The ground was covered with strange stones, some like hideous monsters, and some like twisted human faces, which made people shudder. The light of the flashlight swayed in the darkness, as if it could be swallowed by the darkness at any time.

Zhang Xing and Geng Jianhui walked forward cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution. Their footsteps echoed in the cave, making a dull sound, as if reminding them of the danger here. The heartbeats of the two people accelerated involuntarily, and the tense atmosphere filled the air.

As they went deeper, the scene in the cave became more bizarre. They saw some strange patterns and symbols engraved on the walls and on the ground. These patterns and symbols seemed to tell an ancient story, full of mystery and horror. Zhang Xing and Geng Jianhui stopped and observed these patterns and symbols carefully, but they could not understand the meaning.

The two continued to move forward, and their steps became heavier. Suddenly, a chill rose from the soles of their feet, like a cold air flow, and quickly spread throughout the body. They couldn't help but shudder, and their bodies trembled slightly. The chill became heavier and heavier, as if to freeze them into ice sculptures.

At the same time, they felt an invisible pressure enveloping them. The pressure was like a huge hand, pressing tightly on them, making it difficult for them to breathe. Their heartbeats quickened, and sweat dripped down their foreheads, soaking their clothes. They looked around, only to find that it was pitch black, with only a faint light illuminating the road ahead.

In this darkness, they felt that there was a presence watching them. That feeling was like being stared at by a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness, which was creepy. Zhang Xing's palms began to sweat, and he held the flashlight tightly, trying to use the strong light to dispel the fear in his heart. Geng Jianhui also vigilantly scanned the surrounding environment, always staying alert, ready to deal with any possibledanger.

In this tense atmosphere, every move they made seemed extremely careful. Their breathing became rapid and disordered, and their heartbeats were clearly audible in the silent cave. Their nerves were stretched to the extreme, like a taut string that would break if they were not careful.

They didn't know what unknown dangers they would encounter in this mysterious cave. But they knew that they had no way out and could only move forward bravely. No matter what was waiting for them ahead, they had to face it bravely and not retreat.

Just as they were carefully exploring the cave, suddenly, Zhang Xing's flashlight illuminated a strange thing. He looked closely and suddenly felt a surge of fear in his heart. Not far in front of them, there was a skeleton lying there quietly. The skeleton's body was incomplete, and the bones were scattered all over the ground, as if it had experienced a tragic battle. Its eyes were empty and lifeless, as if telling endless pain and despair.

Zhang Xing and Geng Jianhui stopped and stared at the skeleton nervously. Their heartbeats accelerated instantly and their breathing became rapid. The two looked at each other with horror on their faces. They didn't know why the skeleton appeared here, and they didn't know what secrets were hidden behind it. However, they knew that the appearance of the skeleton undoubtedly made the whole cave more weird and terrifying.

At this moment, the cave was filled with a gloomy atmosphere, which made people shudder. Zhang Xing and Geng Jianhui held their weapons tightly and looked around vigilantly, fearing that other dangers would quietly approach. The skeleton, like an insurmountable obstacle, stood in front of them and blocked the way forward.

The light of the flashlight swayed in the dark, barely illuminating a small area around the skeleton. Zhang Xing slowly squatted down, and the flashlight in his hand shone tightly on the skeleton, his eyes focused and solemn.

Geng Jianhui stood aside, scanning the surrounding environment vigilantly. He knew that in this strange place, any danger might lurk in the dark. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he would not miss any suspicious movement.

Zhang Xing carefully observed every part of the skeleton, not missing any clues. He found that the color of the skeleton's bones was a little abnormal, showing a dark black color. This color made his heart tighten. He realized that this skeleton might have an unusual experience. His brows wrinkled slightly and he fell into deep thought.

He continued to observe, and suddenly, he noticed that there seemed to be some strange spots on the skeleton. These spots were distributed in various parts of the bones, and they looked like they were eroded by something. They showed a strange shape, which made people feel cold.

Zhang Xing's brows were furrowed, and his heart was full of doubts. He began to examine the bones of the skeleton more carefully, trying to find more clues. He gently turned the bones of the skeleton and found that there were also some abnormalities inside the bones. The inside of the bones showed a dark red color, as if it had been soaked in blood. An ominous premonition surged in Zhang Xing's heart.

He knew that the owner of this skeleton must have suffered great pain when he was alive. He continued to observe the skeleton and found some strange marks on the head of the skeleton. These marks looked like they were stabbed by something sharp, and the bones around the wound were in a broken state.

Zhang Xing's heart was full of shock. He realized that the owner of this skeleton might have suffered extremely cruel treatment when he was alive. He continued to observe the skeleton and found some other marks on the skeleton. These marks looked like they were eroded by some liquid, and the surface of the bones was in a corroded state.

After a careful inspection for a while, Zhang Xing stood up, looked at Geng Jianhui, and said:

"Team leader, this skeleton seems to have signs of poisoning."

Geng Jianhui was slightly stunned, looked at Zhang Xing in confusion, and asked: "Why do you judge like this?"

Zhang Xing pointed to the bones of the skeleton and said: "Look, the color of the bones of this skeleton is abnormal, showing a dark black color. Moreover, there are some strange spots on the surface of the bones, which look like they have been eroded by something. I suspect this is a sign of poisoning."

Geng Jianhui frowned and carefully observed the bones of the skeleton. He had to admit that Zhang Xing's judgment made sense. But he was still a little confused and asked: "But how can you be sure that this is a sign of poisoning? Maybe it is caused by other reasons?"

Zhang Xing frowned, and after thinking carefully, he said: "Team leader, you see, there are other traces left on this skeleton. These traces look like they have been eroded by some kind of liquid, and the surface of the bones is in a state of corrosion. I can't help but doubtIs this a trace left by poisonous water? In addition, there are some strange wounds on the skull's head, and the bones around these wounds are broken. I guess this may be caused by being stabbed by someone with a sharp object after being poisoned. "

"Not only that, the skeleton's bones actually present a strange gray-white tone, and there are some tiny cracks on its skull, as if silently telling of some kind of external force that it has endured. The clenched teeth seem to have experienced unspeakable pain in the last moments of life. "

Although Zhang Xing was not a forensic major, he had taken relevant courses in college, and after joining the National Security Bureau, he also received a period of criminal investigation training, so he was able to distinguish the initial conditions presented on the surface of the skeleton.

After listening to Zhang Xing's speculation, Geng Jianhui frowned tightly, and he slowly paced back and forth around the skeleton.

After a while, his eyes fell on a bag behind the skeleton. He carefully picked up the bag and observed it carefully. There was nothing in the bag, but due to the special environment in the cave, the surface of the bag had rotted a little, and only the words "For the construction team of the second team" could be vaguely seen.

Geng Jianhui did not show any excitement when he saw these words. Too many surprises, however, when Zhang Xing saw these words, his mind suddenly flashed back to the discussion he had heard from the fat man and the thin man.

He remembered that the fat man and the thin man had mentioned that an elite team in the forestry construction team had disappeared not long ago, and this elite team was his team one and team two.

So, could the skeleton in front of him be the member of the second team in the forestry construction team? This thought made Zhang Xing's heart beat faster, and he felt an inexplicable tension. If this is really the case, then what happened here? Why did someone die here? These questions kept circling in Zhang Xing's mind, making him more and more uneasy.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xing said to Geng Jianhui: "Team leader, I suddenly thought of something. I accidentally heard the fat man and the thin man talking about it before. They said that the elite team of the forestry construction team had disappeared not long ago. In the forestry construction team, the first and second teams were the elite teams. Now seeing the words on this bag, do you think this skeleton is the member of the second team in the forestry construction team? "

Geng Jianhui was silent for a while, then said: "Well, there is such a possibility."

Geng Jianhui's voice revealed a trace of worry and doubt. Zhang Xing nodded in agreement and continued:

"If this skeleton really belongs to the members of the second team, then the question is, how could they appear here? And they were poisoned. There must be important secrets hidden in it."

As Zhang Xing said, he pointed to the posture of the skeleton. The skeleton's body was twisted, as if it was fighting against some unknown force.

Zhang Xing speculated: "From this posture, they seem to have fallen down in a painful struggle. It can be imagined that the danger they suffered at that time must have been very terrible."

Geng Jianhui frowned, thinking about the possibility, and he asked: "Did they encounter an unexpected situation when performing a special mission? Or did someone deliberately bring them here? "

The two fell into deep thought, trying to find a reasonable explanation. However, it was not easy to uncover the truth with only a skeleton and the existing clues.

Due to time constraints, they had to temporarily put aside their research on the skeleton and continue to explore other places in the cave.
