Capítulo 3552: Chapter 3544: Underground Passage
“The tribe has sacrifice rituals. Could others have been sacrificed?” Sui Qiang said.
“That’s possible, but where they’re sacrificed is unclear.” Yu Siying said.
“Keep searching, see if there’s any other burial sites nearby.” Lin Yi said.
“Got it.”
“But don’t waste too much effort on this; focus on things related to the mission.”
“Understood.”
Just then, Zhang Chaoyue ca running over.
“Boss, we found a secret passage in the chieftain’s residence.”
“Let’s go check it out!”
Lin Yi imdiately stood up.
He was the first to enter the chieftain’s hut.
There was a wooden bed, very simple and primitive.
It had already been overturned.
Below was sothing resembling a cellar, with a large stone slab beside it.
It seed perfectly disguised with the cellar entrance.
Zhao Yunhu was below, shining his flashlight around.
“Boss, there are steps down here, but where they lead is unknown.”
“We’ll find out soon. For now, I’ll assign tasks.”
Lin Yi turned around, looking at the rest of the team.
“Sui Qiang, you protect anyone outside and send them back. Once you’re back, stand guard outside.”
“Xiao Bing, observe the surroundings with Sui Qiang, and communicate imdiately if there’s any issue.”
“Understood.”
“Notify the brigade to stay alert for any movents of overseas organizations, tell the other teams to be ready and await my orders for support.”
“Got it.”
Lin Yi wrapped an arm around Xiao Bing and another around Sui Qiang.
“Rember, if you encounter danger beyond your capabilities, escape imdiately to ensure your safety.”
“Understood.”
“Prepare to start working.”
The team didn’t start imdiately but walked out of the hut.
They waited for quite a while.
Evidences of life from the tribe remained.
These traces must be cleaned up to prevent any slip-ups.
As the team packed their things, Li Fangting and others began to panic.
“Brother Qin, what are you doing?”
“We’re about to handle so serious business, so don’t worry, I’ll arrange to have you sent sowhere safe.”
There was a mix of joy and suspicion on their faces.
The people in front of them were hard to figure out.
“Brother Qin, you’re not here for an expedition, are you?”
“Definitely not, but I hope you’ll keep this incident to yourselves and tell no one you t us.”
Lin Yi’s gaze swept over the four.
“You saw sothing you shouldn’t; if you reveal this, the consequences will be unbearable.”
Their hearts raced.
It felt like a knife was at their throats.
“We didn’t use other ans because we’re all Yan Country people, you get my point.”
“But this identity isn’t a Protective Talisman. If you’re found acting against national security, we will take action.”
“U-understood, we won’t speak recklessly.”
The four were extrely nervous.
They realized the seriousness of the situation.
In their own country, so people’s identities are indeed quite mysterious.
These identities shouldn’t be inquired upon.
“Alright, rember what I said and leave,” Lin Yi instructed.
“Once you’re back, soone will ask about the situation. As long as your identity is clean, you have nothing to worry about. Just answer honestly.”
“Okay.”
“Brother Qin, I’m sorry for what happened before, and thank you for saving my life.”
Liu Zihao stepped forward and bowed deeply to Lin Yi.
“I was very rude to you before, please don’t mind, don’t be so harsh with .”
The other two also expressed their gratitude to Lin Yi.
And bowed deeply.
Lin Yi smiled and patted Liu Zihao on the shoulder.
“I understand your feelings, follow my colleague and he’ll protect you.”
“Alright.”
“Let’s head out.”
Lin Yi watched Sui Qiang and others leave.
Then he began to attend to his own matters.
Soon, all traces left by the group were cleaned up.
As if no outsiders had ever been there.
Everyone turned their attention to the chieftain and others.
“Lin Bro, what do we do with these people?” Xiao Bing asked.
“Tie them all up, and if anyone tries anything, deal with them.”
Lin Yi’s voice was subdued: “Anyone makes a move, they die.”
“Understood.”
“Eat sothing first, replenish your energy, if you need the bathroom, handle it. We’ll head out in twenty minutes!”
“Got it!”
After a brief preparation.
Lin Yi and the others returned to the chieftain’s hut.
Zhao Yunhu was still investigating in the cellar.
One by one, the group entered the cellar.
The cellar was not as big as expected.
It was just under ten square ters.
With six people inside, it was a bit cramped.
Looking at the uneven walls and damp soil, it seed to have been carved by hand.
The most striking feature was the passage below.
The entrance was only one ter high and half a ter wide.
With a flashlight, steps extending below could be seen.
Surprisingly, the steps weren’t rough in texture.
He tapped it with a dagger, finding it incredibly hard.
Lin Yi suddenly thought the steps gave a feeling akin to a pyramid.
“This is it!”
Lin Yi murmured to himself.
Given the situation, no matter what’s below, it’s sure to be remnants from the Mayans.
The place indicated by the stone slab must be here.
Otherwise, it couldn’t have been peacefully preserved for so many years.
Looking at the stone steps below.
Lin Yi’s heart stirred.
The secrets of this world seed to unfold before him.
“Lin Bro, there’s gravel below, just like the one given to Zhou Li.” Luo Qi reported.
Lin Yi nodded.
“These items the chieftain brought out should have co from below, let’s go check them out.”
“Understood.”
“Keep in constant contact with Xiao Bing.”
“Understood.”
After arranging the next steps, Lin Yi was the first to descend into the entrance.
The others followed closely.
The entrance was narrow, but once inside, there was a sudden sense of openness.
But upon entering, a sense of openness ca over them.
The underground passage was about two ters high and one ter wide.
Two people could walk side by side without feeling cramped.
They used flashlights to illuminate their surroundings.
The air was slightly humid, but the walls and floor were relatively flat.
“This should have been built between 1500 and 300 AD. Despite so many years, it’s still well-preserved, the Mayan civilizations are truly unimaginable,” Luo Qi marveled.
