People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 292 Raptor

They are all very agile people, so Chen Ziyan and the others soon reached the top of the couple's banyan tree.

"Is there really a plane wreckage?" Hu Bayi couldn't help but said after seeing half of the plane wreckage stuck on the top of the tree.

I saw a section of the cabin inserted upside down in the middle of the couple's banyan tree. The wings and tail were nowhere to be seen. The remaining fuselage also had many gaps, but these gaps had been filled with vines and other objects.

So I can't see what's going on inside.

Perhaps due to the passage of time, the cabin has long been rusty and covered with thick moss, as if it had grown together with the tree body.

"I'm afraid there's not even half of this plane." Chen Ziyan said after looking at the outline of the wreckage in front of him.

Hu Bayi nodded slightly, then glanced sideways in the direction of Zhelong Mountain, and expressed his guess: "This part probably hit the mountain, and this part happened to fall on the tree crown, but speaking of it, at that time

The impact of these fragments may be something that only this couple's banyan tree nearby can withstand."

Chen Ziyan nodded in disbelief, then walked to the front of the cabin, used the short knife he carried with him to scrape away the moss near the cabin door, and saw a line of vague numbers underneath.

After looking at the serial number, he combined the contents of his memory and said: "This should be a C-type transport aircraft. It may have taken off from the Kolkata base in India during World War II to transport supplies to the expeditionary force fighting in Myitkyina, Myanmar."

"I thought it was the Flying Tigers that originally aided China?" Hu Bayi said.

Chen Ziyan shook his head: "If it is the Flying Tigers supporting the Chinese theater, then there will be a blue sky and white sun mark on the fuselage."

As soon as Hu Ba heard this explanation, he no longer cared about the origin of the wreckage, but looked at the wreckage in front of him and said:

"It was like this. It's hard for anyone to survive. What's the sound we heard?"

He wanted to think about whether the ghosts of the crew members were still lingering here and repeating the behavior before they died, but considering some taboos, he did not say this out loud.

He still couldn't forget the ghost signal in his heart. After thinking about it, he held his breath and put his ear to the part of the cabin that Chen Ziyan had cleared, wanting to hear if the sound was really coming from here.

But it didn't matter. As soon as Hu Bayi put his ear to it, he heard a knocking sound coming from inside. It was the Moss distress signal mixed with the chaotic knocking sound.

But compared to the messy knocking sounds he heard before, what he heard now no longer contained those messy contents, only the Morse code section was left.

And because of the close distance, the sound was particularly clear.

Subconsciously looking back at Chen Ziyan, Hu Bayi murmured: "Mr. Chen, did you hear that?"

"I heard it." Chen Ziyan nodded slightly, and then said: "Let's open the hatch and see what is playing tricks inside."

Seeing that he was so calm and composed, Hu Bayi's fear that had just arisen also subsided a lot, and he nodded: "Okay, no matter what is in it, you have to see it before you know it."

However, despite what he said, Hu Bayi put his hand into his satchel. If there really was any undead soul with lingering resentment inside, he would give him a taste of the black donkey's hooves.

They first cleaned up all the vines and moss on the hatch, and then directly opened the already deformed hatch.

After placing the disassembled hatch next to it, Hu Bayi leaned forward slightly and looked inside with the help of the light of his flashlight.

As the cabin door was opened, the sounds inside became clearer and clearer, and the knocking sounds seemed to ring in the ears.

When the light beam of the flashlight shines into the dark interior of the cabin, the first thing that comes into view is the helmet of a pilot, and then the skeleton of a pilot.

The pilot may have died from a broken cervical vertebra during the crash, so his head hung on his chest, and the specific condition of the body could not be seen for a while.

But what is certain is that the person showing such a posture cannot be a living person.

Just when Hu Bayi wanted to move the body away so that he could enter the cabin, the originally low-hanging helmet shook slightly twice.

This caused Hu Bayi, who was closest to him, to immediately break out in white sweat. He subconsciously stepped back, and at the same time the black donkey's hoof he held in his hand was pressed against his chest.

Chen Ziyan was standing next to Hu Bayi. After noticing Hu Bayi's movements, he stretched out the long stick he had already held in his hand and directly pressed it against the back of the corpse without thinking.

And the moment Chen Zi extended his stick and touched the corpse, the shaking helmet suddenly lifted up, and a pair of giant golden eyes emitting cold light appeared in front of them. Under the illumination of the light, those cold eyes appeared,

It actually bloomed with a light that was not inferior to their flashlights.

Chen Ziyan had known what was here for a long time, so he didn't panic much, but Hu Bayi was different. When he met this electric gaze, he felt a stinging sensation in both eyes.

But he was secretly calming down a lot, because he knew that this was definitely not some corpse transformation.

And as the owner of the golden eyes appeared in full view, the two of them saw clearly what it was.

It turned out that what appeared in front of them at this moment was a rare giant raptor. At this moment, the raptor's hook-like mouth was holding half of a green tree lizard, and the other half was bloody at its feet.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Chen Ziyan and Hu Bayi made preliminary inferences about the appearance of the raptor.

It seems that the raptor must have entered through other entrances of the cabin and was enjoying the food, and the strange knocking sound was probably caused by it pecking at the tree lizard.

But this still cannot explain why the Moss distress signal appeared.

After all, it couldn't have been the raptor that knocked it out.

If it was knocked out once by chance, it can be explained by the blind cat encountering a dead mouse, but there is no way to explain it by knocking out the Moss distress signal again and again.

But now that they were being stared at by this thing, the two of them had no time to think about it. All their energy was spent on guarding against each other.

A raptor of this size cannot be easily ignored even in a cabin that is not suitable for its activities.

And at the next moment, the raptor rushed straight from the cabin to Chen Ziyan and the others at the door. Chen Ziyan, who was well prepared, immediately pulled Hu Bayi and hid aside.

Hu Bayi's reaction was not slow either. The moment he was pulled away by Chen Ziyan, he immediately used his strength to move aside.

And just as they were avoiding it, they felt a strong gust of wind passing by them, and then they saw the raptor fluttering into the air, flapping its wings and disappearing into the night sky.

Seeing this guy fly away, Hu Bayi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Chen, is this thing an eagle owl?"

He had seen it once before when he went to the countryside. Although he couldn't see it clearly just now, he could still roughly make out its outline.

Chen Ziyan nodded: "Probably."

Of course he knew it was an eagle owl, but he just had a glimpse, so he wasn't sure what he said.
