It took Rodrigo more than ten minutes to tell Solid about what had happened after he left, and Soldier Two interjected from time to time to add a few words.

According to the Professor, when Sollid attacked the spire earlier, the metal wall suddenly erupted with a burst of bright light, stabbing the people around him from opening their eyes...... By the time sight was restored, Sollid was gone, and the outer wall of the spire was still intact.

After that, they searched the neighborhood for a long time, but they could not find Solid, and no one dared to touch the spire again; As a result, the professor and Gimenez could only regard Sollid as "missing" and temporarily halted the excavation.

That day was December 5th.

From that night on, the entire excavation team entered a state of having nothing to do and only waiting for rescue.

This relatively quiet day lasted for four days, and by the 9th, exactly one week since the crash, the conflict erupted.

A few workers who had been secretly communicating something staged a mutiny with two soldiers who felt that "I should have the final say in Solid's absence".

The two soldiers wanted to take command of the group, and the workers ...... is to take the opportunity to kill Gimenez in this specific environment.

Obviously, these guys who were transferred from the hemp farm by Gimenez were not absolutely loyal to him.

In the "civilized world" outside, the criminal records of these people, their families...... All of them were pinched in the palm of Gimenez's hand, as long as Gimenez snapped his fingers, the whole family of these people would die without a place to be buried, so they naturally had to obey Gimenez's words; However, after a week in this wild place, the feeling of being choked by force gradually faded...... Luck psychology gradually gained the upper hand.

These workers, or rather...... These "gangsters", almost instinctively, thought that in this rainforest, there are countless ways to make Gimenez disappear from the world, and it is difficult to track it down afterwards. Once Gimenez died...... In the distance, when they return to the civilized world, they can regain their free bodies; Closer to home, killing this guy who doesn't do any work, but has a lot of supplies and beautiful women, is also a joy for everyone else.

So, on the night of the 9th, the two soldiers and several workers gathered the people together with weapons that had been prepared for a long time, and tried to take away the actual jurisdiction of the team on the grounds that "the current person in charge was grossly derelict in his duties, withheld information from everyone, and led everyone to die in the rainforest".

They had quietly disarmed the other soldiers and had added some sedatives to the food of two of Gimenez's bodyguards...... They thought they could get the situation under control very quickly and smoothly.

But as a result, it caused chaos......

The two soldiers did not cause any problems, but the workers went to incite the other workers and Giménez's retinue; They came to an agreement in a very short time to take out this guy and share everything he had (mostly women).

Unbeknownst to them, the woman named "Mandi" that Gimenez had brought with them was a capable person, and that she was called "Mandala" by the Taoists...... A master with a font size.

A scuffle ensued between the soldiers and workers who tried to seize power, the soldiers and workers who still held their ground, and the few men who were loyal to Gimenez and the mandala.

In the end, those who stood on the "mutiny side" were brutally killed without exception.

After the killing, Lady Mandy, who had already shown her strength, became the actual speaker of the camp; And she immediately made a fairly correct suggestion - while the food and clean water have not run out, you must quickly send people out to find rescue.

Although Mandala had never found out about the information that Solid had concealed, she was not stupid, and she had guessed the truth at this point......

Whatever the reason, it's been a week anyway, and the Federation's rescue has still not been found, which means that something must have gone wrong; Rather than sit and wait for the supplies to run out, it is better to take the initiative.

Unfortunately, the ...... who have the ability to walk through the jungle and can be trusted Or that there are very few people who will come back after going out to find rescue; Most Eligible ...... That is, Soldier Two and Professor Rodrigo.

Neither of them participated in the mutiny, and they also had the physical and mental strength to escape from the rainforest, so they could be said to be the best candidates.

With that, Professor Rodrigo and Soldier Two packed up a bunch of equipment needed to cross the jungle and set off on the morning of the 10th towards the north.

When they set off, they didn't think about it...... This walk is more than three weeks.

The two people who could find the north walked all the way to the north for more than 20 days; Every day, I get up early in the morning to walk, stop and go, and find a place to rest before dark in the evening.

Because the equipment is complete, and the two of them have a strong ability to survive in the wild, so their eating, drinking, and rest are not a problem, and there is no possibility of going in the wrong direction; But under this premise, they can't get out of this jungle even if they live or die.

On the twenty-sixth day, something terrible happened.

After crossing a familiar stream and walking for a while, they ...... The wreckage of a "Bayshore Nine" aircraft was seen.

Then, following an artificially carved path, they came to the familiar heights.

They don't understand...... Why did you keep walking towards the north, and after walking for so long, you came back here?

The carved out pyramid spire still stands on the high ground, but the excavation camp is deserted more than a hundred meters away.

The two went to the camp and searched around, and found that there was still a lot of messy supplies left, but there was not even a drop of water and food left.

Of course, people...... There wasn't a single one left.

By this time, even Professor Rodrigo had the word "curse" in his head, and he felt as if he was in a horror movie, and he experienced a ghost hitting the wall for almost a month.

He wished it was all a nightmare, and he wished he could wake up with a murmur and find himself lying at home, lying on a comfy bed, in a cold sweat under the covers.

But this ...... Undoubtedly, it is also an extravagant hope.

After going around a veritable "big circle", the source of all the problems once again pointed to the pyramid.

Thinking of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, the Professor and Soldier Two decided to try their luck at the spire again.

Although this thing is extremely weird, they are not very afraid anymore - after a certain degree of fear, people will adapt to fear, and even have a desire for death; Because of "death"...... It is also a liberation, an ultimate liberation both spiritual and physical.

Perhaps thinking that "if you want to die, you will die happily", the professor and Soldier Two made a very bold plan...... They took the power core out of the wreckage and added some materials they could find to make an improvised bomb that they intended to blow up the spire.

Soldier Two did not wear his armor when he traveled with the Professor, because he had nowhere to recharge his power after leaving the camp, and even if he did, he would have to take it off and abandon it halfway through; When they returned to the camp, there was not even a set of armor to be found.

Therefore, at the time of the execution of this "blasting plan", both men were in an unprotected state.

They planted the bomb, pulled the lead as long as possible, and lay down behind a bunker; After they had prayed to their gods, the professor detonated the simple, but unambiguously powerful, explosive device.

The blast caused a glare of light, the same cyan light that appeared when Solid disappeared...... I don't know where the light source comes from, in short, it is so stabbing that people can't open their eyes.

When the Professor and Soldier Two woke up from a bout of stumbling, they were in a room made of geometric figures......

…………

"It didn't take long for me to discover the handprint symbol, and after teleporting five times, I met you." Rodrigo paused, as if trying to give Sollid some time to digest the information.

After listening to this series of stories, Sollid was indeed lost in thought.

It took another two minutes before he spoke, "Is it possible...... Did you leave the camp when help came and picked up the people who had stayed there? ”

"That's not right." Rodrigo continued, "If that's the case, they should have left us some messages in the camp, what's so hard about writing a few words?" Again...... The rescue team is here to save people, so there's no reason to take food and water away, right? But when we got back to camp, we didn't find a single scrap of biscuits...... Considering the attrition of the camp, even if we walked for more than 20 days, it was impossible for them to eat all the food and water, so where did all that food and water go? ”

"What do you mean...... then," Sollid asked tentatively.

"Supernatural assumptions like 'curses' aside...... Rodrigo is still trying to explain the problem with science and logic, "could it be that after waiting for more than ten days, they think we won't be back, so they take the rest of the food and water and set off en masse?" ”

"Then how do you explain that they didn't even leave you a word?" Sollid Road.

"If they feel that we have abandoned them and will not come back, then they will not say anything." Rodrigo replied.

"Assuming your speculation is true, then so many people, and they are carrying heavy loads, there will be traces on the ground, right?" Solid asked, "Did you find any traces?" ”

"Hmm......" Rodrigo grimaced, "to be honest...... I didn't pay attention. He pouted, "I was completely confused and a little delirious when I returned to the camp before, and the speculation I'm telling you now is what I just thought of......" He suddenly raised his voice, "Huh? Strangely, after coming to this space, all kinds of discomfort in my body disappeared, and my mind seemed to become very clear and calm......"

"It's not 'as if,' this space does have this effect." "But that's not the point," Solid continued, "...... he shrugged, "Of course, it's not the point whether you're right or wrong...... The fact that you have walked for twenty-six days and then returned to the camp is even more bizarre and inexplicable than the whereabouts of the people in the camp......" he paused, and then added, "At the moment, there is only one important question......
