Chapter 37 Three Entrances to the Ruins

In the endless desert, two small trees swayed with the wind, looking malnourished. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info sand and rocks on the ground, and a few bushes of weeds stubbornly grasped the soil. The whole sky and earth were black and gray, as if this storm was raging forever.

Suddenly, the wind stopped suddenly, and everything was so quiet that you could hear your own heartbeat.

"Bang"!

"Bang"!

The parched earth next to the small tree was like an eggshell, and with the sound of the ground, it opened up a circle of cracks.

"Bang"!

The ground cracked, and a wizened hand came out, and gray mud fell from the folds of skin.

Someone is coming out of the ground, first with two hands, then ......

Zhu Shanshan woke up from her dream, covering her chest with her hands, as if she wanted to cover her rapid heartbeat.

Woo...... I didn't mean to...... I'm sorry......

She curled up on the damp mat and hugged her knees tightly.

"Hmm...... What's wrong? Next door, Gloria rolled over and fell asleep again.

Zhu Shanshan couldn't sleep at all and sneaked out of the tent.

Outside the tent, Liang Ce is keeping vigil - even if there are many technological products, they are still not as good as manpower, and the people of Nancy Star camping will also arrange a vigil.

Beside him, Ding Min lay on his side on the hot blanket, snoring evenly.

Liang Ce glanced at her, pursed his lips, didn't speak, and didn't say anything. Zhu Shanshan walked lightly next to Ding Min and looked at him stupidly as he fell asleep. The child's cheeks were still wet, his faint eyebrows were tightly twisted together, and his fists were clenched. Zhu Shanshan's nose was sour, and she quickly raised her hand to cover the corners of her eyes.

After a while, Zhu Shanshan sat on the other side of Liang Ce. Liang Ce saw her cross-legged and lowered her head, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he had to nod her shoulder. She looked up, her eyes red. Liang Ce was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to comfort her, so he had to lift his handbar towards the sea and whispered, "If you can't sleep, exercise." ”

Zhu Shanshan was stunned for a while, straightened her sitting posture from Shanruliu, and began to meditate under the starry sky.

Nothing was said all night.

The five Liang Ce on the isolated island are not very clear whether the other candidates have left this planet. But they have made up their minds and have been lurking on the nearby islands, collecting information until the time comes. Anyway, there are still more than two years of experience, and there is a lot of time.

The other candidates in the ruins are not in their consideration. They weren't going to go into the ruins until they were ready.

And this preparation includes collecting the legend of this imperial tomb, the information of the "Aquarium", patrolling other corners of the sea to find the traces of the "Aquarium", and the most important thing: to build a tunnel with a slope that is not easy to collapse and has a solid inner wall.

Fan Daochang died in vain, and they left the planet without knowing anything and finding nothing. Such a result made Zhu Shanshan unacceptable.

The third time I entered this site was half a month later.

The tunnel leading to the end of the third tunnel was carefully re-excavated, the inner wall was plastered with a quick-setting mixture, the pressure and structure of the nearby earthwork were calculated, and metal plates were used to reinforce it where necessary. This work occupies most of the manpower and material resources of this project.

Little by little, go deep into the foundation of the seabed, not arrogant or impatient, step by step.

On this day, they finally opened the cross from another angle.

In front of him is the mound of earth that collapsed last time, and the original structure of the tunnel has probably not been completely destroyed, but cracks have appeared in the walls around it. Just in case, Liang Ce and the others did not rush in, but looked at the third Yongdao with the naked eye. While clearing the collapsed mound, newly made stone and metal plates were brought in from outside the tunnel to fill in and strengthen the vulnerable parts of the tunnel one by one. There are several extra-large cracks, and several specially made supporting stone pillars have been brought in to support the corridor. Although the whole corridor looks ugly, it is stronger and more reliable than the last time.

Several primitive tractors were transported, and according to Zhu Shanshan's recollections, the tractors created in combination with Gloria's mechanics could be used in sites with strong electromagnetic interference to replace the engineering mechs required for construction.

The hall I saw last time is now marked as the first hall on the three-dimensional map of Liang Ce and others.

I didn't really observe the first hall last time, but this time I had plenty of time. The level of destruction in the hall is low. Visually, it is not more than 2 stories high, but it is also the size of half a football field. At the four corners of the bronze statue pool, there are four dragon stone pillars, and it is thanks to them that the hall is more earthquake-resistant and disaster-resistant.

Liang Ce and the others cleaned up the environment around the hall and did not find any wreckage, it seems that the adventurer last time was not killed in the hall. The passages around the hall are marked on the three-dimensional map, and they are replaced by numbers from left to right. The group retreated to the island and began to deploy this in-depth expedition.

There are nearly 200 marked passages, assuming that each one is a deceased royal family, which is a huge family cemetery.

The crowd took a photo of the passage with a primitive camera and compared the details one by one. Outside each passage, there is a pair of door couplets engraved, and everyone took photos after cleaning up the attachments on the door couplets of the inscription. Translating the inscriptions on the door couplets and lintels one by one, you can always find a little clue.

Zhu Shanshan felt that their team was not at all like a tomb robber, but more like an archaeological team, an elderly professor, slowly guiding his graduate students, little by little as if they were piecing together the broken ancients to eat.

It's a pity that these inscriptions are all the same, and after losing a local know-it-all like Fan Daochang, it is simply a matter of time and space to distinguish who is who from the inscriptions.

There was no way, so everyone had to be patient and start exploring from the first passage. Just in case, Xiao Ding Min was left on the island.

Liang Ce and others used the most primitive method - an alloy rope tied around each person's waist to communicate and prevent separation. It was still Liang Ce who took the lead, he drove the underwater tractor, pushing it in little by little. And Mike was at the end - the last time he came in, Gloria had not equipped Mike with explosives that could be used in water, and Mike, who had recovered a certain combat ability, replaced Zhu Shanshan, who was behind the last time, to the middle of the team.

The advance in the water is always slower than on the land, and after going around one passage after another, Liang Ce and the others finally came to Tomb No. 1.

The small square room, in the center is a raised stone platform, on which is placed a huge jade coffin without patterns, dark green jade, even after thousands of years, it is still smooth and recognizable. The coffin was not covered with seaweed like a stone statue, but only a small clump of seaweed grew in the gap between the coffin and the stone.

It was the first time for everyone to visit the ancient tomb, and they curiously swam around the jade coffin several times.

After swimming down these laps, everyone found a strange place: the head of the jade coffin was drilled into a small circular hole. If you are careless, you can't find it, because the small hole is only two knuckles wide, and the jade coffin is gray in texture, and the small hole that is also pitch black is not conspicuous at all. But if you look closely, you can still see light-colored plankton coming in and out of small holes.

Everyone looked at each other.

Who did this? There's no reason to steal funeral goods, and you can only drill such a small hole that you can't even put tools in! Could it be that a grave robber with a special hobby likes to make a mark wherever he goes, like a puppy Saniao marking territory?

It seems that it is necessary to get up to the jade coffin to find out.
