Chapter 1 The Ancient City of Canghai

Next Chapter

Canghai Ancient City---- this is a place that few people know, hundreds of years ago it was a huge city, a modern metropolis that is unimaginable with today's technology, however, now there is only a bunch of abandoned buildings left here, including many high-rise buildings, but, for some reason, this has been set as a forbidden area, coupled with the reason for the back of the Yuma mountains, this place has been blocked before, no one in the outside world knows, of course, The relevant departments of the ruins of the scientific research has been carried out in secret, archaeologists and historians have been looking for the reason for the decline of such a high-tech city, this is the third large-scale archaeological activity of the ancient city of Canghai organized by the Yuma Municipal Science and Technology Commission, led by Professor Xu Jian of Yuma University, different from the previous archaeology, the archaeological team not only has historians, archaeology, ancient architects and other related people, but also experts in modern biology and architectural engineering, Even Zong Yu, a sophomore who is not a scholar, was called over inexplicably, and it can be said that the team is huge.

The archaeological trip was originally scheduled for three days, but because several mysterious sites were discovered in the ruins of Lot A-2 in the central area of Canghai Ancient City, Professor Xu temporarily decided to add another three days to the archaeological trip.

It's already the fifth day in the ancient city.

Early in the morning, as soon as Zong Yu woke up from his sleep, he heard a small horn from outside the tent shouting eagerly: "Zong Yu, get up quickly, Professor Xu is gone." ”

"What?" Zong Yu rubbed his eyes and yawned, and muttered his head out of the tent: "Little speaker, what are you doing early in the morning, Professor Xu may have gone to the ancient city alone, do you see that everyone else is there?" ”

The little horn is Professor Xu's assistant, his real name is Zhao Xiaoyuan, the little horn is the nickname given to him by everyone, because don't look at others who look thin and small, but the voice is very loud, of course, in addition to the characteristics of the loud voice, he also has other specialties, for example, he is particularly good at fiddling with mechanical objects and computers, because the previous two explorations of the ancient city found that there are a large number of metal devices in the underground corridor of the ancient city of Canghai, Professor Xu specially recruited him into the archaeological team.

"Let's go to the underground cloister and look for it, I think the professor is most likely there." Zong Yu quickly put on his coat, still holding a toothbrush in his mouth.

"The underground cloister?" The little horn patted his head: "Yes, yes, why did I forget, Professor Xu told me last night, he speculated that it might be the underground transportation passage of Gucanghai City, he must have gone there, go, hurry up, I'll call someone else, let's go together." With that, he trotted away.

"This guy!" Zong Yu spit out the toothpaste foam in his mouth, picked up the cup and took a big sip of water, and raised his neck: "Gurr... ”

Before he could brush his teeth, the little horn ran over again: "Zong Yu, hurry, hurry!" ”

Zong Yu angrily scolded at the little horn running towards him: "What's the matter? Can you stop being so angry? ”

"Professor, something happened to Professor Xu!" Xiao Trumpet's face was flushed, and he didn't distinguish from Zong Yu, so he grabbed Zong Yu's wrist and pulled it out: "Hurry up, you go over quickly." ”

Zong Yu was also taken aback when he heard this, and he asked while running out with the little horn: "Little horn, what's wrong with the teacher?" Why are you pulling me? Go to Dr. Lau! ”

"Liu, Doctor Liu has been there for a long time, don't talk nonsense, the professor asked me to call you, you hurry up, you will find out what's going on when you go."

"It's coming, it's coming." When a group of people saw them both coming, they all shouted, "Hurry up, you two." ”

"Be quiet." It was Dr. Liu's voice, and I saw that he still had a stethoscope on his ear: "You all disperse first, Zhu Hao, you go and arrange the vehicle, you have to send Xu Lao back to Yuma quickly." ”

Zong Yu took a closer look, and saw Professor Xu lying on the ground with a bruised face, his eyes half-open, and he hurriedly approached: "Teacher, what's wrong with you?" Dr. Liu, what's wrong, teacher? ”

Doctor Liu shook his head slowly: "I don't know, it was Zhu Hao who found Xu Lao fainting in the underground corridor C, this was the case when we arrived, I don't have any equipment now, and I can't find out what the problem is for a while, in short, we have to send Xu Lao back to Yuma quickly, you talk first, in short... Hurry. ”

"Okay." Zong Yu nodded, turned his head to look at Professor Xu, "Teacher, what's the matter?" ”

Professor Xu stretched out his weak hand and gently grabbed Zong Yu: "You are right, you are right。。。。。。 ”

Zong Yu was confused: "What? Teacher, I don't understand, can you make it clear. ”

"The underground cloister, yes... The underground transportation system of the ancient Canghai City... , we really didn't expect ... Five hundred years ... Before... This place turned out to be ... It's so advanced。。。。。。 Professor Xu paused for a while and then said: "I have read your paper, do you remember what you said, urban cobwebs." ”

"Ahh Zong Yu woke up like a dream: "Could it be... That's why you brought me here? ”

"Ahem!" Professor Xu coughed lightly: "Yes, when I saw your paper before, I had a kind of... It feels like maybe your idea is in line with the underground corridor of the sea, go to C-113, I found something there, maybe it's what you said, the big cobweb project... Where the brain is. ”

Zong Yu naturally knew that what Professor Xu was talking about was the article "Spider Web Project" published in the school magazine, which was just a novel he wrote casually to pass the time, which turned into a paper in Professor Xu's mouth, maybe this was deliberately said by the professor in order to make him not lose his identity in front of the experts and scholars around him, he nodded: "Okay, I'll go now, by the way, teacher, why did you suddenly faint?" ”

"I don't know, like... Professor Xu covered his forehead while thinking, his expression painful: "It seems that something is in... Behind me ... Attacked me, Xiao Yuan, you will go with Zong Yu in a while, and the two of you should take care of each other, be careful. ”

"Okay, Elder Xu." The little horn patted his chest: "You can go with confidence." ”

When Zong Yu heard this, he hammered his head with a small trumpet: "How do you speak?" ”

"Ah, no, no, yes, you can go back and recuperate。。。。。。" The little horn hurriedly changed his words and laughed, and everyone on the side also laughed.

。。。 。。。

Seeing off Professor Xu, it was almost noon, Zong Yu and Xiao Horn hurriedly ate something and set off for Section C of the underground cloister, while the others continued to carry out archaeological excavations in the center of the ancient city they had previously investigated.

"What do you think?" Xiao Horn looked at Zong Yu and asked.

Zong Yu stopped: "The teacher said that someone attacked him from behind, little speaker, who do you say it would be?" ”

The little horn was stunned: "You mean from our team?" It's impossible, Xu Lao is highly respected, besides, the people in the team are either Xu Lao's students or experts and scholars, most of them are famous figures, who would do such a thing? ”

"That..." Zong Yu thought for a while: "Is it possible that it's not someone from the team?" ”

"Not someone on the team?" The little horn laughed: "I see, Xu Lao fell down by himself, his head was confused, he said that someone attacked him, how could it be?" Who else can there be but our team? ”

Zong Yu shook his head: "No, I look at the teacher's face, it's not caused by a fall, could it be that there are really others here?" ”

"Hehe, you really know how to make up stories, but ah, what I'm most interested in is what Xu Lao said about your paper, what spider webs, you tell me about it."

"Cobweb Project." Zong Yu corrected: "Actually, what kind of paper is it, it's just a novel I wrote, a little personal idea about the future world." ”

"Future world?" The little speaker said: "I can't see it, you are still a writer, but how can the future vision you write be linked to this ancient Canghai City?" ”

"I don't understand this either, but 。。。。。。"

"But what?" Seeing that Zong Yu wanted to speak and stopped, the little horn hurriedly asked.

Zong Yu pointed to a tall old building in the distance: "Speaker, look at that old building, although there are only ruins left, but looking at the only remaining ruins, you can imagine how tall and majestic this building was at the beginning, with today's ability, do you think you can still build such a tall building?" ”

The little horn was stunned: "Yes, I studied architectural engineering, although I didn't know much about archaeology before, but after coming to Canghai, I also have a feeling, as far as these ruins of the ancient city of Canghai are concerned, if the Canghai City of hundreds of years ago is put to the present, it must be the most modern city, not to mention the technology shown here, even in a few hundred years, it may not be able to achieve, but this is strange, are we archaeology or exploring the future?" ”

"I'm just like you about this." Zong Yu let out a long sigh: "Let's go, the teacher said that there is a special device found in the underground corridor C-113, let's go over and take a look first." ”

Canghai Ancient City is located in the southeast of Yuma City, the east of the ancient city faces the sea, backed by the Yuma Mountains, to the south is only a few dozen miles is the famous Haitian Resort, the strange thing is that no one knew about such a conspicuous place before, or a wrecked fishing boat drifted here by chance to finally discover the secret of the ancient city of Canghai, but I don't know for what purpose, the government of the ancient city has not been made public to the public now, and several times the archaeology of the ancient city is also carried out in secret, if it wasn't for Zong Yu who also participated in it this time, he didn't expect it, Not far from the southeast of Jade Horse City, there is an ancient city, and it is still an ancient city full of doubts.

"Go down from here." Zong Yu stood in front of a dilapidated house and looked at the map in his hand carefully: "Why is it so similar... ”

The little horn was puzzled: "What is it like?" ”

Zong Yu rolled up the map: "My spider web project is designed like this, the spider web project is a huge underground traffic project, the whole project is controlled by a powerful central computer, at the end of the spider web project, every household has a similar thing to the elevator, as long as you enter the place you want to go in this elevator, then this elevator will go down to the ground, there are tracks underground, divided into branch lines and trunk lines, the central computer will be calculated to go to the same or adjacent places of the elevator combined, Just like a train by section, after being transferred to that place, it is then dispersed to different destinations, the whole process is very fast, everything is controlled by the computer, as long as the input destination is in the system, it can be sent over, and if this underground corridor is really as the teacher said, you see, this entrance is also in this house that is a bit like an ordinary house, do you say it is very similar? ”

Little Trumpet frowned and thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Then if it's really as your spider web project thinks, then isn't it... Oh my God, it's unbelievable that human life was so convenient hundreds of years ago. ”

"This is just my imagination, don't babble, let's go, go in and see." Zong Yu entered the house first, and the little horn hurriedly followed.

Not a few steps into the door, there is a bright yellow wire belt on the right hand, which is a mark made by the archaeological team, showing that the entrance is there, Zong Yu approached the probe and looked down, it was a square hole, he put down his backpack, took out a flashlight and shone it down, this hole is not too deep, it is only 4-5 meters, there is a thick hemp rope hanging down next to the hole, it should be left by the previous pathfinder.

Zong Yu put on his backpack and dragged the hemp rope down to the hole, and when he reached the bottom, he stretched out his foot and probed, and the bottom was wet mud, not up to his ankles.

When the little horn also came down, Zong Yu took out the map and looked at it for a while: "This way" he said, pointing to the right side.

Just as he was about to lift his foot, the little horn suddenly grabbed him: "Wait a minute." ”

"What's wrong?" Zong Yu was asking, and suddenly felt something light up next to him, he hurriedly turned his head to look, on his left hand, it seemed that the light of a flashlight flashed.

"Don't turn on your flashlight." Zong Yu hurriedly said softly: "Go and see, could it be that there are really others here?" ”

Xiao Horn was a little scared: "The people in our team are all in the A-2 pit in the center of the ancient city, Zong Yu, let's not go, I feel cold on my back as soon as I come." ”

Zong Yu said angrily: "As long as it is a human being and not a ghost, what is there to be afraid of, the two of us are still afraid of him?" If you're afraid, you can stay here and I'll go alone. ”

"Hey! Don't, don't, let's not separate, Xu Lao said, the two of them have a good response, then, let's go. ”

Zong Yu sneered: "You coward, seeing that your voice is usually so loud, it turns out that you are emboldening yourself, okay, okay, don't make a sound, let's sneak closer to see who it is, if it is really the teacher he attacked, I must catch him." ”

After speaking, Zong Yu leaned his waist against the side of the tunnel and touched it in the direction where the light had just appeared.

"Listen! Someone is talking. The little horn pulled Zongyu behind him: "It seems that the voice is a woman, and there is more than one." ”

Zong Yu stopped and whispered back, "Yes, how can there be a woman?" The only woman in our team is the little nurse brought by Dr. Liu, and this voice is not hers, but it is a woman, and we will not suffer if we really want to do it. ”

Little Trumpet snickered: "Boy, you will be bold when you hear that it is a woman." ”

"Whew! Who was scared and almost peed their pants just now? After Zong Yu finished speaking, he quickened his pace and walked forward.

Before they could get closer, a woman's voice was met: "Who is there?" Come out, or shoot! ”

"Shoot?" The little horn was frightened: "Mom, there are still guns, Zongyu, what should I do?" ”

As he spoke, a few beams of light shone over, and the strong light pierced his eyes, Zong Yu blocked his eyes with his hands, and said boldly: "Who are you?" How did it end up here? ”

The woman on the other side didn't answer him, but just seemed to be speaking to someone else: "Captain, two people were found near the 2nd line of the West District, please instruct?" ”

"It seems to be their head." The little horn whispered: "It doesn't seem to be a bad person, it scared me to death." ”

"Do you want to kill it?" The woman continued to ask for instructions.

The little horn's heart that had just been put down was lifted again, and he said hurriedly: "Don't, don't, we are not bad people, the woman spares her life!" ”

Zong Yu was stunned: "Little speaker, you are too cowardly!" ”

"I'm on the East Ward Line 9 now, and we're meeting at Nagato Station, over."

"Yes! Captain! ”

The woman said to the two of them, "Come with us, you two." ”

Zong Yu was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what was going on, one hand grabbed his wrist and twisted his arm behind his back, that hand was very strong, but it was very soft, revealing a warmth, and a woman's voice whispered behind him: "Don't move, otherwise I will kill you immediately." ”

Zong Yu hurriedly said: "Don't don't, I don't know who you are, why don't you introduce yourself." ”

"Oops, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts。。。。。。" The little horn cried and begged for mercy: "Zong Yu, what should I do, I don't want to lose my life in this ghost place without knowing it, I have an old man... It's not small yet, I'm not reconciled。。。。。。 ”

At this time, Zong Yu saw clearly, there were three people on the other side, and they should all be women, although the one behind him was not as tall as him and not as strong as him, but he couldn't carry the gun in his hand, the muzzle of the gun was against his back, and he could feel a trace of coldness through his clothes, and he hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, speaker, we haven't done anything wrong, just go." ”

"Let's go." The woman behind him pushed him violently, and with the light on the woman's head, Zong Yu walked in the front, walking in the direction of the women's light, he remembered very clearly that this direction was going to C-113 that Professor Xu said, and he secretly wondered in his heart as he walked: "Is there really something over there in C-113?" ”

Walked for more than ten minutes. "Wait." The woman who followed the last suddenly walked quickly to the front, I didn't know what to do in front of me, I only heard a brisk sound of pressing the button, suddenly, a lot of lights lit up around, illuminating the underground passage as if it was under the sun outside, and at this time, Zong Yu could see each other's appearance clearly, these three women were all dressed in uniform black clothes, it should be some kind of uniform, all three of them were wearing a kind of gray helmet, and the flashlights were shining from the side of the helmet, Moreover, all three of them held a gun less than half a meter long in their hands, and looking at the capable clothes of the three people, it was clear that the three of them should belong to some well-trained military organization.
