"How can we find the descendants of the Han Dynasty?"

"I think they should be living in some area of the valley bottom. Humans have no advantage over these apes on such cliffs. Judging by the fact that these ape-men feed on humans, the two populations did not live in peace. ”

"Lao Xie, the two of us will go deeper and find a way to go to the bottom."

"Okay, let's go now!"

"Don't worry, let's arrange it first, send someone back, inform Commander Huang to send a team over, bring sniper rifles and light machine guns, we have to establish a position here, this platform must be defended, this is our throat to this world. There is also the problem that we need a linguist or an expert in ancient Chinese, at least we can communicate with them in writing. It is hoped that for more than 2,000 years, the human beings here can still maintain the cultural heritage of the Han Dynasty. ”

Zhao Xinghua did not have much experience in arranging life and production, and he did not have much success in organizing large-scale army operations, but in this abnormal environment, his ability to adapt to changes was still very good.

"It would be nice if Huang Fengmin's kid was here, his mind reading skills don't even need to communicate in words."

At this time, Zhao Xinghua suddenly thought of the Air Force Major who stayed in Huang Tingguan.

"Xiao Li, Xiao Wang, you two go back, relay Major Zhao's words to Commander Huang, and bring plenty of food, fresh water, and medical equipment. We want to use this as our bridgehead and build a long-term base. Bring these glowing mushrooms with them and let them find a way to grow them, which may be a substitute for electric light. ”

Xie Yunhao also sent back the last two fighters.

"I didn't expect a natural disaster, the bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods on this earth have been hooked up, if it happened a few months earlier, before the natural disaster, with the previous level of science and technology and scheduling capabilities, the development can be completed here in a few days, maybe it will be a new tourist attraction in Tanzhou."

A few hours later, about 20 people sneaked in one after another, making the granite platform already a little crowded.

These armed police soldiers quietly set up the fortifications, considering the closed space environment here, most of the weapons brought are low-noise weapons, and the sniper rifles are also equipped with mufflers, Commander Huang believes that the power of the weapon is not the first choice to use hot weapons against primitive cold weapons, the first thing is to stabilize the defense line here as much as possible.

…………

Zhao Xinghua and Xie Yunhao slid down the rappelling rope to a height of about 2,000 meters and finally reached the bottom of the valley. When looking at this place from above, only a large field of glowing plants could be seen, and when the two of them stepped on the solid ground, they realized how tall these glowing plants were, each prehistoric fern was thirty or forty meters tall, and its leaves were not green, but yellow-brown. Perhaps because of the environmental reasons here, the photosynthesis of plants has decreased, so in the process of evolution, chlorophyll has been degraded and reduced, and the energy conversion of photosynthesis has been replaced in other ways.

There was a thick layer of putrefaction on the ground, which gave off a strong musty smell. In addition to the tall ferns, the ground is also full of low, unnamed shrubs, which are different from the outside world, and are supposed to be unique to this enclosed space.

The two of them walked quietly among the damp rotting leaves, which was more like another planet. Zhao Xinghua came from Suishi City and traveled thousands of miles through the Nanling Mountains, and he had never felt this way. It's not just the tall ferns that glow, but so are the speckled mosses on the ground, which makes it feel weird.

Zhao Xinghua suddenly made a stop gesture and signaled Xie Yunhao to stop.

Xie Yunhao followed Zhao Xinghua's gaze, the hairs on his whole body stood up, and in the pile of rotting leaves not far away, an arm-thick object was wriggling inside, looking at the length of the thing was several meters long, and what was even more terrifying was that he found that there were also such things in several other places not far away.

The first thought in Xie Yunhao's heart was, "There are snakes!" ”

He shook the knife in his hand made of steel from US artillery shells, which was inherited by the old squad leader of the army during the Vietnam War 40 years ago. He was not too nervous about dealing with a big snake, but what he could see in front of him was definitely more than the number of two or three, there were things wriggling under many of the leaves, if they were surrounded by these big snakes, it would be difficult to escape, and the speed of the snake crawling in this environment was not much slower than that of a human running.

"Let's go, it's a big earthworm."

Zhao Xinghua has already seen that those things have no scales, and there are no mouths and eyes at both ends, which are the plus versions of earthworms commonly found on the ground.

"Earthworms?"

Xie Yunhao confirmed in a low voice.

"Yes."

"Major Zhao, you said that the earthworms are so big, will there be large scorpions, spiders or something?"

"It's hard to say, but there are a lot of earthworms here, which means that they have no natural predators, at least there are not many creatures that eat them, so it seems that there should be no animals such as big rats here."

The two continued to explore the forest, Zhao Xinghua's opinion was to go in the direction of the water, when he was on it, he saw that there was a turbulent river in this Grand Canyon plain, human beings would generally choose to live by water, and follow the underground river to find the clues of human life here soon.

The two of them walked for an hour in the direction of the sound of rushing water, and came to the shore of this underground river. Along the way, I saw some strange large insects, most of which were carrion-eating species, and did not attack the two.

There are several erected boulders here, which are discharged in a certain order and should not have been formed naturally. It's just that I don't know if it's the work of those apes or the ancient Han people.

On the side walls of nine five-meter-high stones, some strange patterns have been carved with things, with simple and heavy lines outlining the outlines of people and animals, using silhouette-like flat painting and shallow drawing of thick lines, some of which reveal a rough, simple and natural atmosphere to the abstract paintings of the modern school.

"This is supposed to be the place where the ape-men sacrificed, where they beheaded captured humans and then threw their heads into the underground river in front of them."

After Zhao Xinghua looked at the graphics on one of the stone walls, he pointed to a stone pier with dark red blood stains and said affirmatively.

"What's next?"

"Extend the river upstream."

"Okay, listen to you."

The two rested for a while, and Zhao Xinghua took out the military kettle and walked towards the river.

Kneeling on one knee on a big rock, he was bending down to fetch water, when out of the corner of his eye, Yu suddenly saw a pair of eyes secretly watching him from the bushes not far away......
