The Lost Civilization Chapter 53 Cracking the Symbol
Today, the wind and sun are beautiful, and the marshmallow-like white clouds float in the blue sky, which makes people feel the urge to take a bite. On the distant horizon, the Mayan pyramids, with the blue sky as the backdrop, look tall and sacred in the light of the sun.
Morgan gets up before dawn, in fact, he hasn't slept well all night, he will sigh for a while before each mission, since he entered the mission department, this problem has been with him, not afraid, but the feeling of tension and excitement, always let his nerves tense.
Luckily, he got up early to blow the wind outside the tent, and cigarette butts were scattered on the ground, and Morgan sat on a big rock and smoked, which was already his eighth cigarette.
"Hey, Agent Morgan, good morning! Would you like to have some oatmeal from our War Department, and make some hot water for breakfast!" Rick, the team leader of the War Department, greeted Morgan.
"No, man, there's no coffee or anything, I'm not used to eating oatmeal, it's like a bunch of things mixed up and muddy, and you want to swallow it at the end!" Morgan pulled off the cigarette in his hand and jumped off the stone.
"Yes, freshly ground coffee beans from Brazil and boiling water made from river water in the rainforest can be mixed together to give you a taste of the original coffee. ”
Rick pulled a steaming cup of coffee from the tent, and their operations department not only assisted the agents on their missions, but also set up camp and cooked, like a mobile nanny.
"Hmm... Good coffee, but your tone sounds like one of those commercials on TV!" Morgan took a sip of his coffee and joked to Rick.
"This is an authentic rainforest, and we're actually not far from Brazil, so maybe we can go there and pick some coffee beans when our mission is over!" Rick sipped oats and looked into the distance.
"Nice attention!"
"Hey, dude, wake up so early! Looks like everyone is confident in today's action!" Posey slipped out of the tent, stretched, and took a cup of oatmeal from the War Department.
"Agent Percy, you talked to your wife for a long time last night! It's uncomfortable to kill us bachelors!" Rick smiled, he was in his thirties and had no wife.
"Oh no! I must be a little worried about coming out on a mission!" Posey scratched his head embarrassedly, he was the youngest, but he was the only one here who had a wife.
"Oh, I hope everything goes well today! It's seven o'clock, and we'll leave at a quarter past seven!" Morgan looked at the time and squeezed Percy's shoulder.
"Okay agent, I'll get everyone ready!" Rick received Morgan's order and began to straighten up his equipment with the GIs.
"Agent Morgan, what are we going to do then?" David from Planck's group walked out, and now that Planck was gone, their group didn't know what to do.
"I'm sorry, boys, I've already contacted Air Force One, someone will come to pick you up in a moment, about Planck, we'll do a search first, your mission this time is in vain!" Allen walked over and patted David on the shoulder.
"Oh! that's terrible..."David drooped his head, just like the cucumber dish, this time they were going to rely on Planck to mix up some credits, but Planck was gone, their credits were gone, and it was really a day trip to Maya.
The key thing is that they haven't visited any places of interest, but they have encountered a lot of strange beasts, and almost lost their lives here, and the travel experience is poor, if they spend money, then they will definitely go to the local tourism department to complain about this bad travel agency.
......
"Let's take a look outside, let's try not to get too far away to avoid any accidents!" The Morgan team searched the perimeter of the Mayan ruins, and they searched for Boulder Town, but they found nothing but decaying statues and houses.
Judging from the scene, there are no signs of a fight here, and it looks like Planck has disappeared from the periphery of the ruins.
Morgan searched a lot of places, and for a whole morning, he didn't find any valuable clues, and the search and rescue work became difficult.
"Hey, everybody, there seem to be footprints here!" Jim spotted something on an observation deck, and the rest of the team hurried towards the tall lookout.
At the top of the lookout was a ruined temple, the dome above dripping with water, and it was wet and smelling of mold.
"Here, footprints!" Jim said, standing in the doorway of the temple, pointing to a wet mossy ground in front of him, on which the footprints could be clearly seen. Morgan opened the multi-purpose device and looked inside, where there was nothing but a few statues of gods.
Eren was very experienced, and casually threw a stone into it to prevent a trap or something inside.
The stone fell to the ground without any movement, and just as Alan was about to test it, Morgan stopped him, "No need to try, you can see the footprints inside, it seems to be very chaotic, but they are all footprints of one person, it looks like Planck has been here before." ”
"But he's not here, is he here to worship the gods here?" Percy interjected.
"You stay at the door, I'll go in and have a look!" Morgan walked in alone, not because he was afraid that more people would touch some of the mechanisms or anything, but because he had destroyed the scene here, they had found such a little clue after a busy morning, and they definitely had to protect the scene.
Morgan walked into the dark temple, looking at the chaotic footprints on the ground, it seemed that the person had wandered here for a while, what was he wandering here?
The only thing that would interest people was the statues of the gods and the unintelligible frescoes overhead, which Morgan photographed and sent to the Star of Eden with the data.
"What's the matter, did you find a clue?" Owen's voice rang out through the Morgan team's channel.
"Little bitch, look at the pictures I uploaded, this is the only clue we've found about Planck!" Morgan walked around the temple and saw that there were no mechanisms or anything like that.
Owen opened the photo from Morgan, looked at it carefully and frowned, "Morgan, are you sure the photos you took are okay?
Morgan put on his gloves, wiped them on the statue, and sniffed, "Copper, indeed!"
"It's weird, the Maya lived in the Stone Age, how could there be such a thing as copper!" Owen sensed that something was wrong, and a man of Planck's knowledgeable and thoughtful mind must have noticed these anomalies.
"Maybe it was made by someone else!" Morgan said, and it was perhaps not very strange to say so.
Owen was silent, he looked at another photo, it was a circle with complex lines, with regular polygons drawn in it, which looked as complex as a high-math structure diagram, Owen looked at it for a long time, and there were so many things that he could think of that he couldn't give a definite answer.
"Morgan, look for any special symbols or anything like that!" Owen reminded in the comms.
"Symbols?" Morgan's fully informed eyes scanned the features of the surrounding scene, and found no special marks.
"There are no symbols here other than these gods?" Morgan's gear didn't scan anything significant, only found a corpse of a cow or a sheep and a piece of rotten wood with fungus on it, and ants gnawing on it.
"Look closely at the statue and see if there are any signs or something!" Owen reminded again.
Morgan shifted his attention to the idol, and did find some traces on it.
"There are some little black dots and some marks that look like blueberry jam smearing!" Morgan replied.
"That's the Mayan way of counting, quick! Morgan send me the markings, and I'll find out!" Owen shouted eagerly in the comms.
After Morgan sent all the traces on the stone statue, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the people outside, "It's going to be okay soon, it looks like Owen's little bitch has found something! Those guys from the scientific research department are not so useless, I thought they were just some nerds who read dead books, but I didn't expect that they could be used as detectives at critical times!"
"This is bullying you countrymen for their lack of culture!" Posey laughed as he leaned against the wall.
"Yo, man, you're not right, everyone has their own strengths, brother, I can't study, but fighting, I want to fight in our hometown, I'm very famous in our hometown, if I hadn't been invited by the academy, I'd be a WWE boxing star now!" Morgan and Posey's words eased the tension.
"Okay, my WWE boxing star Morgan, I hope you can be like the Hulk in the Avengers and blow up a tank with one punch!"
"Hey, if it weren't for the HQ not to let the hammer, I would have really tried it!"
"Morgan, now you go and do something!" Owen on the other end of the communication seemed to have solved the problem.
"It's a good reader, it's fast!" Morgan said in a bad tone.
Owen didn't respond to Morgan's mocking words, "Try reversing your eleven o'clock direction with your one o'clock direction!"
"Okay!"
Morgan relied on his own strength to open the chain of gods, originally he thought that these stone statues were still connected to the ground and had to be uprooted, but it didn't seem to be that at all, he only needed to push it lightly, and according to what Owen said, he reversed the position of the two stone statues.
"Hey, little bitch, it doesn't look like much has changed!" Morgan put them in place, and nothing happened around them.
Just as he was about to taunt Owen for not doing it, the entire observatory suddenly shook, and everyone stumbled, only to see the dome at the top open, just as a golden ray of sunlight shone in.
Everyone was stunned, and Morgan said in a daze, "Sure enough, the reader is still a bit powerful!"
Morgan walked into the light, and everyone held their breath, and suddenly the ground under Morgan's feet suddenly collapsed, and Morgan fell straight in.
"Morgan!" Percy shouted, jumping in with Morgan, Alan and Rick, the leader of the American team, took a look, and Rick said, "Jim, you go in with me, and the rest of us stay here and wait for us to come out!"
With that, Allen, Rick, and Jim jumped in, and the remaining six GIs stood guard on the lookout.
