The sun was strong, and Qiu Tian and the others had breakfast, and it was already past eight o'clock. Zhou De ate was very full, Qiu Tian knew that he had worked hard all his life, and only in the past few days had he been to the expedition team that he had eaten a few decent meals.

Xu Ming looked at Zhou De's gobbling up, and was very contemptuous in his heart: This old man really has never seen the world, just like a begging for food, even eating so many ordinary meals, is this also the appearance of an expert?

Xu Ming felt that this old man seemed to be eating the last meal in his life.

Qiu Tian looked at Zhou De and thought: This world is really unfair, some people eat delicacies from the mountains and seas all day long, spend money like dirt, only care about enjoyment, but have never done anything truly meaningful; Some people have tasted the sorrows and sufferings of life, they don't have enough to eat, they don't have enough clothes, they only want to do one or two things in their lives, and they can't succeed. For example, this week's master, saving money, usually even reluctant to eat a good meal, save that little money to find this ancient ruins in the deep mountains and old forests, a search is decades, lonely, who can understand him?

Everyone packed up their equipment and went out of the mobile house, and saw that the surrounding scenery was good, the air was fresh, the mountains were lush, the trees were tall, and the environment was quiet.

Under the leadership of Nanyang, everyone marched forward on foot, Gao Qin and others carefully observed the surrounding situation, where the vegetation was dense, and many soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition were closely guarded.

The crowd approached the pit, next to which several houses were built, several excavation machines were parked around, and many trees had been cut down, and it seemed that the area might have been woods before. Xu Ming looked at the surrounding environment, and admired Zhou De, a poor old man: to be able to find such a hidden place in this deserted deep mountain, and after looking for decades, he must have endured endless hardships! The old man's perseverance was extremely strong.

Gao Qin and the others came to the edge of the pit and couldn't wait to look into the big pit, which was dug about five meters deep and about fifteen meters in diameter (Gao Qin and Xu Ming admired Zhou De even more for finding this deep underground place), the soil had been removed, and a large smooth gray-brown stone wall was exposed in the pit.

It was a spherical stone wall, and at the highest point of the spherical surface there was a circular hole about two meters in diameter, and the hole seemed to be filled with earth, but it was all removed.

The military has set up a wide gangplank from the edge of the pit to the bottom of the pit for people to walk up and down conveniently, and various monitoring and detection instruments are placed around the pit, and there are soldiers guarding it.

Gao Qin and Xu Ming were surprised when they saw this spherical stone wall, they had been engaged in scientific expeditions for a long time, but they had never seen such a place.

Nanyang led everyone into the house next to it, and several spacious rooms in it were equipped with extremely professional equipment. Everyone sat down in a large room, and through the large clear windows, they could see the pit directly.

The room is equipped with computer equipment and communication equipment, and several large-screen monitors display various detection information of ancient ruins. Nanyang said: "This is the command room of the operation, and Mr. Xiao will sit here and be responsible for the overall command work. ”

Xiao Gang nodded and said, "After you go in, you can use cameras and other communication equipment to send me the real-time image information in the ancient ruins, and we will discuss the next step according to the actual situation." ”

Nanyang asked Qiu Tian: "Mr. Qiu, since you are in charge of data management, do you still need to go down together?" You can stay here and gather the same information. ”

Xu Ming immediately said: "Yes, Researcher Qiu, the investigation activities are very hard and dangerous, you might as well sit here, and leave the dirty work to us." Rest assured, we will report the information obtained to Mr. Xiao and you as soon as possible. ”

Qiu Tian smiled and said: "Thank you, I'll still act with you, when I came, the leader specially asked me to participate in the whole inspection activity." ”

Nanyang nodded and said, "Now we have only excavated and cleaned the exterior of the ancient ruins, and Master Zhou strongly recommends that we not enter the ancient ruins without permission, so we have been waiting for your arrival." He continued: "Everything is ready, we can start moving, the situation inside the ancient ruins is unknown, you must be careful!" ”

Nanyang, Gao Qin, Xu Ming, Zhou De and Qiu Tian left the house and came to the pit, where the equipment had been transported by the soldiers. Two sturdy soldiers walked over, these two people looked very skilled, Nanyang said: "They will join me in the operation and be responsible for security protection." Nanyang pointed to a disinfection room next to him and said, "Everyone put on protective clothing first." ”

Xu Ming asked a little strangely, "Oh?" Is it necessary to just inspect the monuments? ”

Nanyang said: "Although there is no radioactive material in the ancient ruins, and no anomalies in the air have been detected, it is safer to do so." ”

Everyone put on protective clothing, installed camera equipment and communication equipment on their hoods, put equipment on their backs, and prepared to enter the pit. Nanyang beckoned, and two soldiers brought a box containing pistols and ammunition. Nanyang asked, "Do you know how to use weapons?" ”

Xu Ming was a little nervous and said, "Mr. Nanyang, what are you doing?" It's like going to war. ”

Nanyang frowned, and said a little helplessly: "According to Master Zhou, there may be some dangers in the ancient ruins, so I think you should bring a pistol to defend yourself." ”

Gao Qin and Xu Ming both understood: Zhou De said that there were monsters hidden underground, and since he said it, Nanyang, who was in charge of the safety of the experts, must listen to the opinions and bring weapons just in case.

Gao Qin and Xu Ming have been on archaeological expeditions for many years, and they have never seen any demons and monsters, they have been to many countries, and they have encountered many dangerous and bizarre things, but they can all be explained by science. As scientists, of course, they don't believe in the various legends of haunting in ancient tombs in China, but there are always some dangerous animals and plants in places like ancient ruins, such as poisonous snakes and beasts, and it is certainly better to bring a gun to defend yourself.

Gao Qin said, "I will." She took out a pistol, and saw that it was a Type 54 7.62mm pistol, and she was very skilled in handling it a few times. Zhou De didn't speak, and took one. Xu Ming saw that his junior sister and Master Zhou had taken guns, so he had to nervously take one. He actually learned to shoot, but he didn't dare to use a gun, and he rarely used it.

Nanyang took out a 54 pistol, handed it to Qiu Tian, and said, "Mr. Qiu, what about you?" ”

Qiu Tian shook his head and said with a smile: "Thank you, I'm afraid of this, no need." ”

Nanyang issued the holster to Gao Qin and the others, loaded the remaining ammunition, and handed it to the two soldiers who were traveling with him to carry. He and the two soldiers were carrying submachine guns and carrying heavy equipment behind their backs. The group made sure everything was ready and walked down the gangplank to the bottom of the pit.
