Wedge Midnight Cold (3)

"Who's here?" Bowers asked.

"Be quiet, be careful, they'll show up." Oates said.

"Is this guy having auditory hallucinations?" Scott's whole body was shivering at this time, the night in Antarctica was colder, and his shoes and socks had just dried a little.

"Probably behind the rocks." Oates said, he climbed a rock that wasn't very high, and then his whole eyes were straight, and it was pitch black in front of him, "Look what I found?" ”

Oates said, greeting the man behind him.

"Are you really hallucinating?" Scott didn't believe that staying in this place for a long time would really change his mind, but he still climbed a big rock behind Oz, as if he was scouting the enemy, prostrate and stuck his head out, he looked at the scene in front of him, a ruined town, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, could it be that he was hallucinating.

"Well, we've found something amazing, but I think it's better to leave." Oates proposed.

"What are you doing?" Instead of climbing the rocks, Bowers was packing up the sleigh in front of him, which had their essentials.

"We found a ruined city." Oates said, but he suddenly added, "Huge! ”

"Well, are you sure?" Powers thought Oates was joking with him.

"Of course."

Evans packed up his tent, but there was always a stir in his heart.

"Do you want to go?" Powers' climb up the rock proves it all.

"I don't think so." "Let's go ahead, and we'll find our way after 10 miles." ”

"Since we're here, why don't we take a look. I guess this is a major discovery, but I don't think that Amundsen guy discovered it as well. Scott suddenly became scrappy.

"There will be no accidents." Evans was always careful.

"There will be some surprises, I guess this is a place like those 'lost cities'." "Before we came here, I heard that someone had come up with a 'continental drift theory,' and I guess this South Pole was not in the South Pole before. ”

"I haven't heard of that theory." Scott said.

"Anyway, if this is really a city that once flourished, like the 'Lost Babylon' of the past, or maybe it would be a place like 'Atlantis', or we could find something to take back. Although we don't know what kind of city this is. Bowers said.

"Listen!" "It's footsteps." ”

"It's just the wind." Bowers said that the wind was really blowing at this point.

"Could it be my auditory hallucinations?" Oates asked himself.

"Let's go and see, that Evans, you hide your sleigh in a place, you must hide it, even though there are no people here, there will be animals coming out." Scott said that the animals have an excellent sense of smell, and Scott is afraid that the animals will come up and eat their food.

"Look, there's wood there." Oates said that since he wanted to take a look, he would make some preparations, and he wanted to tear a piece of wood from the sleigh to use as a torch, but he did not expect that there was one in front of the rock, in fact, he did not have much hope, because wood will always rot, but the wood is like dry wood that has just been cut from the tree, and there is no trace of decay with the passage of time.

"Put some fuel on it." Scott said.

"Let's go." Everything was ready, and Evans was behind to catch up.

The moment Scott and his party stepped into this ruin, they felt like they had fallen into hellish cold, and that was not because of the temperature, but because of the psychological feeling.

There was not a shred of sunlight here, although it was not very dark, even if there were no torches, they could still see the road, the city was ruined, as if there had been a war, the houses had collapsed, the fighting of swords and cold weapons could all be seen on the walls, there was not a single person here, not even a single corpse and bones, as if everyone had disappeared overnight.

"It's so strange here, what about those people, are they all migrating, is it because it's too cold here?" The first to find the problem was not Scott, but Evans.

"Maybe something happened here, like a coup d'Γ©tat, or a riot or something." Oates said.

Scott was so excited that he didn't know what to say, because he found out that this was indeed a place that no one had ever visited, and it seemed to be thousands of years old, and he might be the first person in history to discover this place.

"It's so cold in here." Scott was happy, but the cold made him uncomfortable.

"There's a tall building up ahead." Evans said that the light was just right to make out the new-looking building, "built thousands of years ago, all made of boulders, like the pyramids of Egypt." ”

"There's a lot of weapons scattered around here." Powers noticed, and he picked it up, and it was really heavy, I don't know what it was made of.

"Let's go back!" Evans said, "There's going to be something in there, like a mummy or something." ”

"It's not long before you go in with a weapon." Γ–tzi said, and then he also picked up a rusty sword from the ground, "It's really heavy, I guess it's made of bronze." ”

"Ancient alchemy." Scott suddenly remembered something.

"What are you talking nonsense, scare me." Oates sanded the sword on the side.

"Well, I just remembered this kind of technology, it seems that only the 'Great Qing' Empire of thousands of years has such technology." Scott said.

They tidied up and walked into the building a little heavily, Evans had been behind, and he was afraid that something would happen, so he kept the sword in his hand. Scott took the lead, and nothing should happen to him in such a dead place.

After entering, there is a long corridor, and there is nothing around the corridor except for many ancient murals, and the building is not very dark, as if everything is glowing.

"Did you find out, this is the palace of the king of this city." Bowers said.

"Well, an ancient kingdom." Scott sighed, "History has sunk them, and if we hadn't found out, we don't know how long it would have been before they were known again." ”

"There's a glowing hedron on that." Oates frowned, he saw a stone lying quietly on the ground in the corner, it was glowing, but the place was like a ghost.

"It's a good thing, and it probably sells for a lot of money." Scott saw it too, and he stepped forward, observed it for a while, then picked it up and put it in his backpack.

"There's a door in front." "That's ajar." ”
