Chapter 13, Kavachi Caves
When Clark and Lea arrived at the Native American site to the west, the protest was coming to an end.
They looked around and took pictures around to go back and write a story about it.
"Li Ya, did you hear anything?" Clark stopped abruptly and listened intently.
Li Ya did the same, but he didn't hear anything other than the roar of the machines on the construction site.
Of course, there is also the exclusion of a couple in the grove a kilometer away, who are doing something shameful, and with Clark's character, he would never be able to pay attention to such a thing.
"No, what's wrong, what's wrong?" Li Ya asked puzzled.
Clark seemed to be looking for the source of the sound, and his eyes fell on the ground where the excavator was digging on the construction site, and he slightly pulled the glasses off the bridge of his nose down so that he could use his claireye to scan the underground.
Suddenly, his face changed: "Damn, the ground is empty, didn't they explore before digging?" ”
In order to save money, the engineering team in the town cut corners on many of the surveys that should have been done.
Clark hurriedly rushed to the edge of the steel wire fence on the construction site and shouted inside: "Stop immediately, you are in danger!" ”
But no one listened to him.
Li Ya also took off his glasses and saw that there was indeed a large hole under the land, and the excavator that was working on the ground at this time had almost dug through the superstructure.
In the next moment, a large chunk of the entire ground collapsed, and many workers and machinery on the site were in free fall.
Thundered!
The underground cavity is more than 10 meters high, and it is basically impossible to survive if you fall from such a high place.
The moment the ground collapsed, Clark reached out and tore the wire mesh in front of him, and then used his super speed to grab the excavator's shovel.
"Drink!"
With a soft snort, Clark lifted the excavator with one hand, and Lea ran past Clark and threw the mask to him.
"Take it!"
After saying that, he rushed into the cave to save people.
Although Superman also has super speed, he can't run vertically on a rock wall like the Flash.
So Li Ya could only jump between the rock walls to catch the falling workers.
The rescue didn't take much effort, and Lea was going to slip away, but found that Clark was still in the underground cavern and didn't come up.
So he jumped into the cave again in front of many people at the scene.
"Oh my God, who are these two people with masks?"
"I see how much strength they can lift the excavator with one hand!"
"I recognize them, the town bank was robbed by gangsters before, and two vigilantes claiming to be Avengers and Superman rescued the hostages!"
In an instant, the people who survived the catastrophe began to talk wildly, and the indigenous professor Joseph Liuwan stared reverently at the two figures who leaped into the cave.
"The prophecy has finally come true, and the prophesied savior Naman has finally appeared!"
In the cave, Lea finds Clark and finds him engrossed in the cave pattern.
"Clark, what are you looking at?"
Clark raised his hand and pointed to the pattern on the cave wall, which were strange symbols, forming a long line of text according to certain rules.
"I've seen the writing on this wall!"
After Li Ya saw these words, his heart moved inexplicably, although he couldn't understand the meaning of these words, but he knew that it was Kryptonian words!
"It's not the words of the earth, is it your hometown?"
"Well, that's right, there is a similar text on my spaceship!" Clark stepped forward and looked more closely.
In the center of the words, there is a small inconspicuous hole, and the shape of that small hole is the shape of the Superman family crest.
"This hole is exactly the same as the key on my spaceship!" Clark said.
Lea walked around, and the other walls were not covered with words, but on white murals.
"Clark, look at the mural over here, it seems to convey a message"
Hearing what Li Ya said, Clark didn't pay attention to the hole in the rock wall, but followed the direction pointed by Li Ya and looked over.
The first mural on the cave wall depicts countless meteorites falling from the sky, the earth destroyed, and a small figure in the ruins.
"It's ......" Clark's face changed, he thought of himself from the mural, and immediately continued to look down.
The latter paintings are more abstract and require a little imagination, and Li Ya can probably see that the meaning conveyed above is that the person who appeared in the meteorite has the strength of dozens of adults, he is invulnerable, and his eyes can breathe fire.
"This cave is at least 500 years old, why did I record my situation in the cave 500 years ago?"
Clarke's mind stirred as he frantically looked at every detail of the mural, trying to find out the secret of his origins.
Lea shook his head, he knew that the person on this cave might not be Clark, after all, every Kryptonite who came to Earth could do the above.
Even Kryptonians can't foresee what will happen five hundred years later, so the only thing that makes sense is that five hundred years ago, Kryptonians also descended on Earth and were worshipped as gods by the local natives!
There was a commotion outside, it seemed that many cars were driving over, and Li Ya and the others could even hear the siren.
"The police have sent someone over, let's go out first!" Lea greeted Clark and said.
But it was obvious that Clark was still reluctant to leave, and he said with some excitement: "Maybe this is the key to my search for my background, maybe I can put the ship's life into that hole!" ”
Li Ya pulled up Clark, who was already stunned, "Anyway, this cave won't fly away, let's leave first, and when this limelight passes, you can come in and study as a school reporter!" ”
In fact, as long as Li Ya is willing, he can tell Clark's life experience completely, including his family history.
After the two left, the local police quickly dealt with the collapse, and the news of the appearance of this mysterious cave was quickly posted on the Internet.
It was named "Kavachi Caves" after the local indigenous people.
Immediately afterwards, the purchaser of the land, Lex Luthor, also rushed to hear the news, and brought with him a group of scholars who had studied ancient murals.
"It's amazing that these symbols don't belong to any of the words we know!"
The scholars let out an exclamation as they looked at the special symbols of the Kavachi Caves.
Lex looked at the contents of the mural little by little, and finally fixed his eyes on the Kryptonian text and the entrance to the coat of arms in the middle.
"This hole, it seems that something can be put into it, I need some instruments to study this."
He made up his mind in his heart, and then gave an order to the scholars: "You help me decipher these words in the fastest time!" ”
