Chapter 102: Reliefs and Stone Pillars
Chen Shi didn't know much about foreign history, and basically knew a little bit about it through TV and movies. As far as he knew, the Greek temple was characterized by a towering rectangular structure, divided into a front, a main hall, and an apse, which may have occupied an area the size of half a football field, and was supported by numerous towering marble columns.
On the walls of the temple, there are many lifelike statues of gods and rare birds and beasts, which make tourists who visit in the past unforgettable.
In the stone gate of this other world, when he and 1214-B01 entered, the first thing he saw was a light blue light embedded in the ceiling overhead.
But this couldn't deceive Chen Shi, he didn't pay too much attention to the ceiling lights, and the surface of the stone pillars that towered the ceiling around him were carved with groups of reliefs, but they weren't just the xenomorph monsters he had seen before.
If it was just some xenomorph monsters, Chen Shi might instantly retract his gaze, without it, he had seen too much along the way, so much so that he couldn't count them for a while, how could he be interested in the reliefs of some "cookie-cutter" xenomorph monsters.
The reliefs on the surface of these pillars are not xenomorphic monsters.
Be......
Chen Shi's mouth opened slightly, he didn't know what sentence phrase to use to describe his discovery, the relief of the stone pillar obviously had the shape of a human being, limbs made of hands and feet, a head, and a body were all the same. But these reliefs of these figures are not simple human bodies with red stripes, "they" are surrounded by a shell, as if they were wearing a spacesuit, but much lighter.
He suddenly remembered that the ruins he had encountered in the gray city, and when the metal sphere was opened, there was an unmanned exoskeleton armor inside, wasn't it very similar to the relief on the stone pillar?
It turns out that the humanoid reliefs of these stone pillars are all wrapped with a layer of exoskeleton armor?
He was stunned, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and when he turned his head, he found that 1214-B01 had come to the end of the hall, and he didn't dare to look more, so he hurriedly chased forward, and did not notice the long-looking humanoid relief behind him, and the light was fleeting.
"Well, what is this?"
At the end of the hall, the path is blocked by a wall, and under the wall, there is a platform similar to a sacrifice one meter high from the surrounding area, and when you walk up the stairs, you can see a sarcophagus in the middle of the platform.
Yes, it's really a sarcophagus!
Chen Shi had seen a documentary about the mummy sarcophagus before, and the sarcophagus was very similar to the sarcophagus here, but it was not as beautifully embossed as the sarcophagus in front of him.
How can there be a sarcophagus here?
Chen Shihu was puzzled, and 1214-B01 on the other side threw his cart under the platform, came to the platform, took off his arm armor, and stroked the sarcophagus with his furry palm, his expression was full of caution and fear.
1214-B01 will also be afraid?
Chen Shi was stunned.
The flickering eyes, the emotions that he wanted to see but didn't dare to look at, were really too humane, and it was the first time he had seen 1214-B01 show such emotions.
Even though he was devoured by the ball of flesh before, and his life was in danger, he never saw 1214-B01 afraid of fear, but very calm, but now he was afraid of a dead thing, a sarcophagus that could not move?
Why is that?
Is there anything unusual about the sarcophagus?
He thought about it for a moment, and thought that maybe it wasn't the sarcophagus that was the problem, but what was hidden inside the sarcophagus was what scared 1214-B01.
Damn, even 1214-B01 is terrified, he's still so close?
One step at a time, one step at a time, rubbing against the smooth slate, is the pace of escape.
Chen Shi quietly stepped back and slipped away, not at all at all curious to find out what was inside the sarcophagus.
He was curious, but not so strong that he knew that there was danger, and he had to be tough.
However, he soon became worried again, since the sarcophagus contained something that scared even 1214-B01, it wouldn't open the sarcophagus, would it?
Chen Shi suffered from gains and losses, waited under the platform for a while, and saw that 1214-B01 still hadn't come down, so he sneaked up and peeked again, 1214-B01 was still there touching the sarcophagus, and there was no other movement.
1214-B01 seemed to be caught in a kind of reminiscence, and there was no movement for a long time, Chen Shi had no choice but to circle around, and this time, he saw something strange.
The surface of the stone wall of the temple also has a relief similar to the stone pillar, but unlike the stone pillar is only a single person relief, the scene of this painting is much larger, the reduced human figure on the surface of the stone wall is like a painting of the country, the scene extends on the entire stone wall, the number is dense and countless, "they" some are suspended in the air, some are on the ground, but without exception, "they" are all facing one direction.
In that direction, the alien species that covered the sky and the sun and came overwhelmingly, made Chen Shi's whole body feel creepy when he looked at the past.
"This, so much?"
This number is too much, he walked briskly, and when he arrived at the stone gate where he came, this stone wall was also a different species of painting, and it was so idle to take the trouble to carve so many different species.
"Like an imminent war......"
Chen Shi browsed through the reliefs on the stone wall, and the depiction was so vivid that he was a little frightened, he recalled the list of various abnormal creatures he saw on the obelisk, and thought of the "XCMG Group" below, and couldn't help but think helplessly, if this is really the future world, what is the "XCMG Group" doing? Are these xenomorphs created by their biological experiments?
It's not right, "XCMG" is an engineering enterprise, joining in the excitement to carry out biological experiments and manufacturing?
Well, you can't think so narrowly, when Nokia was first established in 1865, it was only paper and wood, and then didn't it switch to making tires? In the end, he changed to the mobile phone electronics industry.
So, who stipulates that "XCMG" can only design engineering industries?
Chen Shi nodded, feeling that thinking about it like this, it seemed that it was not wrong to be harmonious.
After looking at this stone wall, he went to the stone wall opposite the hall to check, the stone wall there also has reliefs, the content is similar, carefully observed, sure that the earth side should have finished collecting information, he wandered bored for a while, saw a stone pillar human-shaped relief has a hole, as if it was hit by something, he stretched out his hand and touched it in confusion.
This touch immediately produced a shocking change.
The humanoid relief was lit up by wisps of orange light, and in the "crunch" movement, the relief slowly deformed and moved, and under his sudden backward steps, the entire stone pillar seemed to open the secret door mechanism, and the left and right sides slid open, revealing the hollow structure inside.
