Chapter 20: The Last Bastion (Part II)
Hong Lie carefully observed the position where he and Ma San'er were. He found that the ground under the feet of the two of them and the three giant doors were not actually made of stone, but were made of the same material as Ruyi in the backpack.
The material has a silver-gray metallic sheen as a whole, and it not only feels very metallic to the touch, but also seems to have a strong electrostatic effect. What is very certain is that this is an unknown metal material and not a stone!
And what is even more strange is that Hong Lie found that there were several burn marks on the stone walls around the three giant gates. There is a bit of a line, a few random distributions, and there is no pattern to follow.
This is not the case when it is scorched by fire, but more like it is left after being hit or strafed by a laser beam.
Hong Lie's heart moved, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at the boulder gate that had fallen just now. Sure enough! There are also mottled marks of burning on the boulder.
"There have been hand-to-hand battles here!"
"And it should be very intense, my Mr. Holmes, have you found any valuable clues? I can't see it," Ma San'er shrugged his shoulders at Hong Lie, smiled and spread his hands mischievously.
"Yes, the reasoning is logical and progressive, dear Mr. Watson," Hong Lie followed the conversation and nodded to Ma San'er with a smile.
"If you try to analyze it again, what do you think of the marks on this wall?"
"Both sides of the fierce battle should have used a laser weapon that had a destructive effect on the stone wall!"
"Good, and then?"
"And what? I can't see it, what else should there be? ”
Ma San'er scratched his head vigorously and asked for help with a blank expression.
"Let's reconstruct the scene at that time, you go to the middle door and stand on the first stone steps, yes! It's there," Hong Lie looked like a detective at the crime scene, and at the same time walked to where the two of them were when they first entered.
"At least two people shot at 'you' from my position, and at least one person from each of the three doors shot at 'me'"
"This can be judged by the three different impact points behind the two men"
"And these two people were attacked by crossfire from three sides at the same time without any cover, and there was no chance of victory, and defeat was a matter of seconds."
"The two must have come to the boulder wall in the process of fleeing in a panic, and finally turned around and fired back a few shots, so that they left burn marks in the middle of doors 1 and 2, 2 and 3. One of them fired the last shot when he was shot and killed, and the long, thin line above the roof of the cave was the mark. ”
Hong Lie turned around, threw a shot between doors 2 and 3, and then slowly fell to the ground on his back, his arms spread out in the process of falling, and his right hand swept an arc towards the top of the cave as if he was holding a gun.
Ma San'er looked at Hong Lie's explanation very seriously, and nodded again and again when he saw Xing's head.
"But,..." Hong Lie stood up here, but deliberately paused in his tone.
"But what, it's time to sell off again! Hurry up and say the following."
"I want to know what will happen next, and wait for the mountain people to decompose next time, ah... Dare to sneak attack! ”
Hong Lie deliberately sang the passage in Peking Opera, Ma San'er was angry, took off a shoe and threw it at Hong Lie.
Where can this shoe compare to a laser weapon, it was caught by Hong Lie a few days ago, and then threw it back to Ma San'er.
"Can't I obey you, please, say it quickly, say it quickly!" Ma San'er was tickled in the heart.
"Haha, that's right, the person who ran out of this is at least 3 meters tall, and the person in the three doors should be about the same height as you and me"
"How do you know?"
"It can be analyzed from the shooting angle and the traces on the wall, my side is flat shooting, and you are looking up there"
"I have checked the traces of the impact point, and the horizontal shot is basically formed by round dots, while the traces left by the upward shot are often long and flat oval"
"The key question now is that this battle took place a long time before today! First, what happened at that time and why there was such a fierce battle scene. Second, how could there have been laser weapons in ancient times? It's not the scene of Star Trek."
"Oops, I have a headache, I don't want to, I don't want to. Let's find a way out quickly! Ma San'er shook his head like a rattle and shouted loudly.
"You've been down from here?" Hong Lie pointed to the tunnel behind Ma San'er.
"Yes, but after walking a few hundred meters and wanting to come back, you will turn back, I guess the end should be the exit" Ma San'er was embarrassed to say that he was afraid because he walked alone.
During the conversation, the sight of the entire environment gradually weakened, and the two realized that something was wrong.
Hong Lie didn't answer, but walked to the first door to take a closer look.
Because the two of them were at the bottom of the lake, the stone gate had been closed, but where did the lighting come from, it should have been pitch black here, but the two didn't realize that they were trapped in an enclosed space underground.
It turned out that the glowing object came from the metal material, whether it was absorbing the sound waves of the conversation between the two of them, the gravity generated when the person was standing, and the huge impact of the stone crushing block of the boulder door, this material absorbed and converted it into light energy to illuminate the room as if it were daytime.
But with the release of energy, the metal material's adjustment of light began to show inadequacy, and the two of them were about to fall into darkness. Even if there were flashlights that could be used for lighting, it would only be temporary.
Hong Lie was a little annoyed, he knew that he would have the time and energy to show off the so-called shooting scene analysis there! I'm still young, it's too superficial.
When I calmed down, I thought about it again, and now it seems that since this wishful thinking is designed for me, it must have a purpose, and in this case, it must definitely help me rather than harm my interests.
Thinking of this, I couldn't care so much in a hurry, so I took out Ruyi from my backpack and put it in the groove next to the door, hoping to see that the favorable changes could be used.
A similar power-on situation reappeared, and Ruyi became crystal clear again, this time he skillfully turned Ruyi, and with a "whew", the first door was opened very neatly.
It's as fast as an elevator door in modern society, except that the door doesn't open to both sides as the two imagined, but sinks down into the ground.
Behind the door is a straight tunnel, far away, and the ground and the surrounding rectangular plane are as smooth as a mirror, apparently all man-made buildings made of silver-gray metal. The "lights" were lit up one by one from the foot of the two from the door to the opening, gradually extending into the distance, disappearing from the sight of the two.
Hong Lie and Ma San'er glanced at each other, as if they understood, and this time there was no extra word, and the two walked into the tunnel together.
The two of them walked along the tunnel for nearly two hundred meters, and a circular indoor space suddenly appeared in front of them. The space was very spacious, and it was purposefully filled with a variety of unknown instruments. It's a lot like entering the advanced research institute of a certain university, but these instruments are something that the two of them have never seen before.
The first thing that caught Hong Lie's eye was a wall in front of the rotunda. The wall was transparent, separated into two parts by a glass-like material, and on the other side of the wall was a huge container filled with yellow-green liquid!
And these liquids are exactly what appeared in Hong Lie's dreams for more than a year! The things in the previous dream realm actually appeared in front of his eyes at this moment, even if Hong Lie had strong concentration, he was also afraid, it was a kind of fear of the unknown, the future that he couldn't grasp.
Everything that has happened recently points in the direction of the letter, corroborates the description in the letter, and argues the results in the letter.
And such a result directly involves the future of the entire human race! Hong Lie's personal safety is nothing compared to this result.
Hong Lie could feel his body trembling, not because he was afraid of what would happen to him, but because he was afraid of facing the fact that he was facing it.
Humans live like ants under the watchful eye of the Anunnaki, and we are nourished and comfortable in our own "kingdom". We nations wage wars over resources, quarrel over trivial matters, and are troubled by the fact that we have no idea what beings in the universe who are far more intelligent than us think of themselves.
Just as we look at ants, or rather, we're not even as good as ants.
Hong Lie looked at the inside of the solution pool through the "glass" in a daze, and for the first time experienced the feeling of watching beluga whales through thick glass in the basement of the aquarium.
That unforgettable loneliness and helplessness gnawed at my heart. It's like being stripped naked and displayed in an exhibition hall for people to visit, countless eyes shoot at you, without any privacy, no place to hide and escape.
"Lao You, come on...... Look at these ......" Ma San'er's slightly trembling and choked voice from the side drew Hong Lie's gaze to the perimeter of the rotunda.
Ma San'er has always been a man who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, but this call to himself was mixed with a trace of fear and deep pain.
Hong Lie walked quickly towards Ma San'er, his eyes quickly sweeping the surrounding environment from far and near.
The perimeter of this rotunda was all rows of small cubicles side by side, because there was no light when he first entered, it was dark, and Hong Lie was attracted to the center, so he didn't look this way.
After the two of them entered, the rows of compartments were also lit up one by one, and Hong Lie saw clearly that each of them was a "glass" container like a shop window, each of which was more than 5 meters high, and like the central container, it was filled with closed yellow-green liquid.
And in this liquid environment, soaked in specimens like organisms! Although all of these organisms belong to the class Mammals on Earth, they are very large, each over 3 meters, and each container houses a separate individual. And there are even humans, but these human individuals are also about 3 meters.
When Hong Lie followed Ma San'er's trembling hand and looked at the window he was pointing to, even if he was very determined, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide in shock.
The huge human specimen in front of him, his skin had turned white, as if he had been soaked in liquid for a long time, a pair of empty eyes looked at the two of them through the container blankly, all parts of the body were extremely muscular, arms hung down at the sides of the body, hands on the belly. Stored in a container with an upright back, it seems to be asking for help from the two of them.
What shocked the two of them was that the facial features of this organism were exactly the same as Ma San'er's physiognomy outline!
Hong Lie looked back at Ma San'er, and the two looked at each other for a long time, tears came out of their eyes, and their hearts were full of huge waves! Hong Lie and Ma San'er already understood what was going on here!
Shame, pain, humility, and domination—all kinds of mixed and complex emotions came together, and gradually these mixed emotions converged into a great anger and a strong determination.
Hong Lie clenched his fists tightly, his bones rattled, as if he had secretly made up his mind, and slammed his fist into the thick "glass" wall!
This moment will not only change the fate of Hong Lie, but also change the future destiny of mankind, and will surely become the most important turning point in human history and civilization! It's just that Hong Lie, including himself, may not be able to realize what a huge impact his words and deeds will have on the future of mankind!
Because he had already made up his mind in his heart, it was no longer time to debate and analyze the question of whether or not there were Anunnaki. In Hong Lie's heart, a huge sense of racial responsibility and mission has been generated! The emergence of this kind of consciousness has long transcended the nation and the state.
