"Obviously, that kind of sound can only be produced by the collision between metals, is it holding a hammer in its hand or is its head itself metal?"

"Judging from the sound that thing makes when it flies in the temple, it shouldn't be very large, otherwise it wouldn't be more than that!"

"Coupled with the way this corridor and the cave hall above are excavated, all this seems very unreasonable!"

After listening, Wen Jing and I were silent.

After thinking about it for a while, I only felt a headache, so I said: "It's useless to guess now, when we see what the Dong family is hiding, maybe the truth will be revealed!"

Hong Kaiyuan smiled and said, "Unless, as the girl said, this Dong family has something to do with aliens, or the Dong family itself is an alien!"

"I'm just casually saying that it's unlikely. Wen Jing glanced at Hong Kaiyuan and was skeptical.

"There is nothing impossible in this world, the universe is so big, I don't believe that there is life only on earth. Hong Kaiyuan smiled, quite meaningful.

Wen Jing didn't answer, and turned her head to look at me, meaning what I thought.

I agree with Hong Kaiyuan's idea, because like him, I don't believe that there are so many coincidences in this world.

Although, apart from the Earth, human beings have not discovered any other life in the solar system, but compared to the Milky Way, the solar system is so small, so small that it is almost negligible, and the Milky Way is also extremely small compared to the entire universe. What's more, we don't even know how big this whole universe really is!

From the perspective of the history of the development of the earth, the history of mankind is only a small part of it, and human beings' understanding of the whole world is extremely limited, and their understanding of life is only limited to the life forms on the earth.

To put it mildly, so far, human beings are still in the early stages of understanding themselves, let alone other living organisms.

I have never rejected the emergence of new things, believing that the reason why things that cannot be explained cannot be understood is because of the limitations of my own cognition. At least, on Earth, we have found a lot of life that can survive in extremely harsh environments. Therefore, before I know the truth of the facts, I am tolerant of many things, of course, I will not believe in some pure superstitions.

Obviously, the question before us is extremely puzzling, although there are many things that people thought were impossible in ancient times, but how much do we know about the truth of history?

We may still be able to corroborate it with written records, but how should we judge the age without written records? According to common sense, people with a little common sense can understand that this kind of direct digging out of such a tunnel in the rock can also be done now, but there is one point, even in today's extremely advanced science and technology, we will leave some traces caused by excavation tools, but there is no trace of excavation in front of us, how did the ancient people do it?

Dong Shu's era is a historical period that has a perfect written record, if there is really such a clever excavation technology, it can be regarded as high-tech, such a high technology should be recorded in a reasonable way, but I searched the official history and wild history in my mind, and I couldn't find any information related to it.

This proves that the road probably existed before this era, perhaps before the time of writing, that is, prehistory, which should be the only explanation that can comfort us.

So, what happened in prehistory? For a moment, my head seemed to be full of paste, and I didn't even have a clue.

Because I couldn't think of a reason, and I didn't have the slightest clue, I began to get a little impatient, so I said, "Forget it, we can't find the answer if we just guess like this." The best thing to do is to keep looking for evidence!" he said, pointing to the depths of the tunnel.

Seeing that I didn't bird him, Hong Kaiyuan felt very bored, glared at me, turned around and continued to walk forward.

Who knows, after walking for less than a minute, he heard Hong Kaiyuan shouting: ", why are there so many dead people here?!" After saying that, he bent down and stretched the candle in his hand to the ground.

As soon as I heard this, I hurriedly rushed to his side, and when I shone it with a flashlight, I was immediately startled, not that I was afraid of seeing the dead, but that everywhere the flashlight went, there were all shriveled dead bodies, at least no less than ten!

Wen Jing had already leaned her head on my shoulder, and she didn't dare to look at it at all. At this time, Hong Kaiyuan simply extinguished the candle, directly took out the flashlight, and began to check the dried corpses.

I patted Wen Jing's hand around my arm, whispered a few words of comfort to her not to be afraid, and then crouched down next to the nearest dried corpse.

The corpse was leaning against the wall of the road, hunched over, with its head slightly drooping, its legs bent, and its hands between its legs and chest.

Because the costume worn by the cadaver was a bit weird, it quickly caught my eye.

Its coat is very similar to a windbreaker, and it still wears a vest inside, which is obviously different from modern clothing trends, but it is very similar to the kind of clothing I saw in film and television dramas in the thirties and forties, and it is not the kind that Chinese people like! But soon, I understood, because I saw the hair of the dried corpse.

Although there is also a layer of dust on the hair, if you pay a little attention, you can see that it is actually blonde hair!!

This man is a gringo?!I was surprised, how could there be foreign devils here?

Unlike Hong Kaiyuan, I am not afraid of the living, but for the dead, I am relatively bold, so I didn't dare to look at the face of this dried corpse at the beginning, but at this moment, I couldn't help but look at its face.

When I saw it, I couldn't help but start to feel hairy, because the two holes in the black hole seemed to be staring at me, as if they were still a little resentful. Seeing this, I hurriedly meditated on duck rice tofu in my heart.

And Wen Jing simply hid behind me at the moment, resting her head on my back. Perhaps sensing someone behind me, I slowly quieted down and began to look closely.

The face of the dried corpse in front of him was only a layer of skin, dark brown, and a dim glow under the light of the flashlight. The eyes have been completely sunken in, only two big black holes remain, the nose has already collapsed, the mouth is better, not all the teeth are leaking out, but the corners of the mouth are crooked, it looks as if it is laughing, it looks weird and gloomy.

Except for his hair, it is not clear that he is a foreigner in the first place. At this moment, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a leather-made document bag beside him. Because this dried corpse made me feel disgusted, I immediately looked away and hurriedly went to get the bag.

The bag was kept quite well, and there was nothing damaged except for a layer of dust on it. After a few knocks on the ground, I opened it. There are a lot of things in it, a magnifying glass, a notebook, three pens, and a set of rulers, as well as some miscellaneous small objects.

After thinking about it for a while, I took out the notebook, opened it and looked at it, where it was neither Chinese nor English, especially German!! In the past few years, because of my work, I have communicated with many Germans, and I have also seen some relevant materials, so I know that this is German. But apart from a few lame greetings and a few simple conversations, I didn't know anything about German!

I flipped through it a little, and found that it was full of pictures and texts, because I couldn't understand the text, and I didn't bother to continue to entangle, thinking that the purpose of these people was unknown, so I put the notebook away.

At this time, Hong Kaiyuan had already gone to check some of the corpses inside, I sighed, stood up, and comforted Wen Jing behind me: "Girl, it's okay, but it's just a few dead corpses, don't we see a lot of them above!"

After a while, she slowly let go of me.

He looked at the rest of the corpses with a flashlight, and counted them silently, there were eleven corpses in total! They were all sitting in the corner of the corridor without exception, with different shapes and different clothes. Three of them were blonde, and the rest were brunette.

Just as I was about to continue watching again, I heard Hong Kaiyuan shouting at me: "Lao Qi, come here, show you something fun!"

I don't know what tricks this kid is playing, and he said in his heart, this guy sees so many corpses but seems to be fine, it seems that people who have studied medicine are really bold.

When he got closer, he found that Hong Kaiyuan was squatting in front of a dried corpse, holding something in his hand and looking at it.

Seeing that I had arrived, he raised his head: "Lao Qi, have you seen this thing!?"

It is a cross-shaped medallion composed of a black inner disc with a silvery-white border, and the end is wider than the front, more like a Maltese cross, with a "swastika" character in the center that is offset by forty-five degrees, and four numbers in the end directly below: 1939.

When I saw it, I couldn't help but gasp: Isn't this the Iron Cross of the Nazis?! Damn, are these guys especially Nazis in Germany?!

My heart sank, and suddenly I felt an inexplicable fear, and I thought to myself, Is this still related to the Nazis?

The suspender of the medal is a ribbon of red, black and white, with a silver leaf at the place of the buckle, and a pair of crossed swords underneath the leaf.

"What is this?" Wen Jing also saw the medal I was holding in my hand and said curiously.

"This thing is called the Iron Cross!" Hong Kaiyuan continued, "During World War II, it was a kind of medal of honor awarded by the Nazis to non-commissioned officers who had made contributions! This was said to be a very awesome honor in the German army at that time!"

"Germany? these are all Germans?!" Wen Jing was a little surprised, but more puzzled: "How can there be Germans here?"

Hong Kaiyuan didn't say anything, and went back to search the pockets of the dried corpses.
