I don't know how long it took, but a slightly noisy bell rang in the room.

Everyone shuddered, and then woke up from their dreams.

I opened my eyes almost as soon as the alarm went off.

He stood up and shook his somewhat chaotic head.

Raise your hand and turn on the bracelet's light.

Walking over to the wooden table, I reached for a lighter and lit the kerosene lamp.

A dim light filled the room.

Everyone yawned and reluctantly sat up from the kang.

I turned to look at the crowd and said with some amusement, "Don't sleep, it's already 2:24 p.m., and in a few minutes, the time shown on the photo will be up." ”

When everyone heard me say this, they all rubbed their eyes and got off the kang.

"Do you say, do you really mean time? What about 2:30? Could it be that there will be aliens flying into the room? Zhang Qiang touched his chicken-like hair and said.

I sighed: "Actually, I am more concerned about why it is night. Could it be that we wake up at night because this thatched hut is different from night during the day? ”

Zhao Qiqi listened to my words and was suddenly stunned.

Her eyes flashed with a strange light, turned her head, and looked at me with some excitement: "Gao Wei, thank you for the reminder." I think I might know why it's 2:30 p.m.!! ”

"Me? I didn't say anything, did I? "I scratched my head, feeling confused.

Zhao Qiqi shook her head, she didn't explain anything, just glanced at everyone: "Now, turn off all the lights in your hands!" ”

I was surprised, but I heard Zhao Qiqi say again: "Gao Wei, go and extinguish the kerosene lamp!" ”

"Put out the kerosene lamps too? Isn't that invisible? Du Deming suddenly said with some puzzlement.

I had the same doubts, but I turned around and put the lid on the kerosene lamp I had just lit.

The fire went out, and the room was instantly plunged into darkness.

In the dark, I heard several of my teammates swallow subconsciously.

Everyone was curious about what would happen next.

Just when my heart was full of question marks, Zhao Qiqi spoke again.

"Let's look at the location of the roof gap! If my guess is correct, the answer will be revealed in a minute. She said.

My heart began to pound.

Everyone else also listened to Zhao Qiqi's words and looked up at the basin-sized hole on the roof.

One minute......

There is still one minute, and 2:30 is coming.

I've never felt like I've felt so much like I have today.

Just when I thought I was going to petrify, the time had finally come!

2:30 a.m. ......

Outside, a sudden gust of wind blew away several dark clouds that hung over the sky.

The moon was revealed.

The cold moonlight shone through the gap in the roof and into the thatched wooden house.

The moonlight that entered the room hit the handle of the wooden box we had rummaged through just now.

The handle suddenly glowed with a faint white light, and the light, reflected by the silver handle, turned to the right again, and shone towards the position of the window in front of it.

Wang Yi, who was standing in front of the window, saw this and hurriedly dodged away.

The light hit the window glass straight like that.

The piece of glass seemed to have been specially treated, and when the moonlight shone on it, the light became much stronger.

However, it only paused there for a second, and then the light slanted outwards and downwards.

An idea was about to break through the ground, and I said with a little excitement: "Let's go, go out and have a look!" ”

So, by the light of the moon, everyone walked out of the room.

Take a look outside.

The focused moonlight just now was shining on the third stone step outside the thatched house.

"Hey, the moonlight has stopped there!" Seeing this, Zhang Qiang immediately ran over.

The others glanced at each other and hurried to the stone steps.

"Does the light stop here means that there is something hidden under this stone staircase?" Du Deming stared at the light on the ground and thought.

"Quite possibly! Why don't we try to lift the steps and take a look? I thought about it and proposed.

Just do it.

As soon as I finished speaking, Wang Yi re-entered the room, originally he still wanted to take out his tools.

However, under Zhao Qiqi's reminder, he directly took out the iron pickaxe hanging on the wall by the quarryman in the house.

Coming back to the stone steps, Wang Yi crouched down and aimed the sharp end of the iron pickaxe at the part where the two stone steps connected.

Then, under the watchful eyes of all of us, he thrust the pickaxe into the gap in the stone steps.

The stone steps must have been built for many years, so Wang Yi didn't make much effort, just pressed the iron pickaxe lightly, and the stone was easily removed.

When we saw this, we immediately leaned in and looked inside.

Really!

Under the stone steps, a groove about twenty-five centimeters long and fifteen centimeters wide appeared.

There was a copper-colored metal box in the recess, and it was not known what was inside.

When everyone saw this, they were all a little excited.

Situ Cao's eyes lit up: "Could it be that the fragments are placed in this box?" ”

"I don't know, open it and take a look!" Wang Yi shook his head.

As he spoke, he reached out and took the box out of the groove.

Carefully opened the box, and everyone subconsciously leaned over.

Through the moonlight, we can see what's inside.

"That's right! It's really a fragment, huh? What is it? Wang Yi said as he delivered the box to us.

I saw that in the box, in addition to a yellowed piece of paper, there was also a bottle of blue potion and a small map.

Why do you put two other things next to the fragments every time?

My eyes flashed slightly, and I looked at Zhao Qiqi.

As if sensing my gaze, Zhao Qiqi tilted his head and smiled at me.

While everyone was basking in the joy of finding the new fragment, my heart suddenly chuckled.

"That's not right! Qiqi, didn't you already give the fragment we found in the research institute to someone from another team? Aren't we now just finding this fragment? At this point, my face suddenly became a little ugly.

Only then did the others react.

At that time, everyone was distracted by the fierce fighting, and no one thought about it, but now that they have calmed down, they don't know what to do.

Zhao Qiqi didn't show any anxiety, she smiled: "Don't worry, the fragments I handed over to them at that time were fake." The real fragment is actually still on my body, don't worry! ”

When everyone heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, I'm scared to death! Good thing it's still there! Du Deming said with palpitations.

All in all, the fragments near the thatched hut were in hand, and everyone was ready to go back to rest until the next morning, and then set out to find the whereabouts of the other three fragments.

The fragments and reagents were still kept by Zhao Qiqi, but when everyone else had already entered the house, Zhao Qiqi stopped me again, and at the same time, while the others were not paying attention, he stuffed the small map into my hand again.

I didn't understand what the hell was going on, but I put things away.
