Chapter 86: Traces of the Ruins
On the country road, a large truck whirred forward, two exhaust pipes lined up on the left and right of the cab, pulling two thick black smoke, and rock music was playing in the cab.
The driver lifted the cap on his head and said to the co-pilot, "Neil, I love this song." ”
"Dan, swing for this song, born madman. ”
Neil's upper body began to sway restlessly, and Dan followed the beat, which was indirectly transmitted to the steering wheel.
Patch stood on the side of the road and gave a thumbs up.
His teammates walked up to him and asked, "Sir, are you sure this will work in Bolivia?"
Patch replied: "It's a universal gesture, the wallet is lost, the money for the operation is lost, and we can only hitchhike to our destination." ”
"But with this, can someone let us get into the car?" the teammate gestured to a pile of objects covered in canvas, which moved.
Patch frowned, "Reason with him, maybe it will work." ”
Hearing the honking of a car, the four men stuck out their necks and looked towards the end of the road.
"Great, it's a big truck, it's going to fit everyone. Patch's thumb was raised high and he took a step down the road, "Be sure to stop it." ”
The truck roared, people on the side of the road shouted, less than ten meters away, it did not slow down, and the front of the car swayed abnormally from side to side.
"Be careful. "The commandos rushed out of the road and reached for Lapache.
After a song was played, the driver changed to a brisk tune, and Neil next to him was also sweating.
"Dan, it looks like a bunch of monkeys were barking on the side of the road. ”
The driver was stunned, "Did I hit them?"
Neil shrugged.
The truck kicked up the dust, and Patch got up from the ground and shouted, "Crazy." ”
His men ran to the canvas, and with two knocks, the metal alien tore open the cloth and walked out.
The driver rubbed his eyes and said, "Neil, after the town in front, you will be the driver." When I get to Tiahuanaco, I'll meet up with a beautiful girl, and now I'll have to take care of my strength. ”
"Okay, I'm so happy for you. Neil smiled.
boom
The truck shuddered sharply, and the two men looked up to see a circular depression in the roof.
"What's going on?" Dan steadied the steering wheel with both hands, and the front of the car returned to the road.
"Don't panic, I'll take a look. Neil leaned out of the window and looked up at the roof of the car, his eyes dilating instantly.
A paw grabbed him on the head, and the whole person was dragged out of the car, and with a snap, Dan saw him rolling on the side of the road from the rearview mirror.
"Neil. Dan shouted loudly, but did not dare to stop.
Arms covered in metal scales came out of the roof of the car, and with a clatter, claws shattered the windows of the car, covering his face, and the man was thrown to the side of the road along with the door.
The truck sprang out of a section on its own and stopped on the road.
Neil groped his dizzy head and saw a metal monster standing on top of the truck. With a flicker of his eyes, four men in trench coats passed by him, they opened the truck hold, the shelves were pushed out of the car, and the red pimples rolled on the road.
They drove the monster into the warehouse and drove away in a truck.
"Dan. Neil got up, ran to the motionless driver, and flipped him over, blood pouring from the claw marks on his face.
He coughed twice, "I still want to see that girl, and it won't be easy to do." ”
Neil sat on the ground, relieved.
In the hotel room, An Yi sat on a chair, staring at the itinerary in a daze, according to the original plan to enjoy the scenery of the salt lake today, because after spending the whole night in the ancient castle, he came back and slept until the afternoon, and had no time to go elsewhere.
It's a pity, I've seen the photos of the salt lake from the Internet, the scenery is really good, the endless salt pans, the lake reflects the blue sky and white clouds, people stand on it, and they are in two worlds at the same time, even if the photos are reversed, they can't tell the difference between up and down.
She shredded the schedule and threw it in the trash. Anyway, Jiang Yan is stirring up, and the couple can't enjoy the World Day for two, so it's better to set off to the destination Puma Penggu as soon as possible.
An Yi sighed and looked back at the bed, where her husband was still asleep.
The door rang twice, and outside the door was Jiang Yan, who was wearing sunglasses and dragging her suitcase.
"Are you ready?"
"Prepare what?"
"Of course, it's the next trip, it's time, hurry up. ”
"I didn't promise to travel with you. ”
Jiang Yan smiled, "I agreed in my dream." ”
An Yi shrugged, if she listened to her arrangement, wouldn't she be led by the nose, this woman bit Kai Ming and didn't let go, the farther away from her, the better.
"I'm ready. The husband suddenly appeared behind him.
An Yi was stunned, and when he was chatting with Jiang Yan, he got up, packed his luggage, combed his hair neatly, and his hands and feet were quite fast.
Alas, the trip was all controlled by Jiang Yan, which is not a good thing, if she uses tricks, the situation will be very passive, and she must always stay by her husband's side to prevent her from taking advantage of it.
While the taxi was driving on the mountain road, her husband was watching the scenery in the front seat, Jiang Yan had been talking on the phone next to her, and she heard her keep mentioning words like "camp, spaceship", and the other party was speaking English with a local accent, and she struggled to listen to it, often asking people to repeat it twice.
"Oh my God, it's finally booked. It feels like talking to chickens and ducks about life. She hung up the phone, relieved.
"Where are we going?"
"Don't ask, just go. ”
The husband sat down in front of him without saying a word, maybe he didn't care about going there at all, and he had remained in this state since he was restored as a human from a metal inhuman, looking at the earth from outside the earth. It's really heart-wrenching! I always worry that one day he will leave his family and leave the earth.
"Not everything is worth seeing. "I can only put Jiang Yan's mouth in order to deal with it well.
She said: "If you don't see the scenery, how can you know if it's worth it." You can rest assured that the package will last a lifetime. ”
The tone is not ordinarily strict, and the next thing can only be seen is a move.
As the taxi walked up the mountain road and approached the top of the mountain, an airship appeared in front of him, with a round egg-shaped airbag two stories high and a silver-white appearance printed with the word "Dream".
The taxi stopped in the square, and there was a watchtower not far away, and the door opened and several staff members came up to pick up their luggage.
Jiang Yan put on sunglasses and walked in front of her high heels, and the couple hurriedly followed the pace. She ran to the airship's cabin, waiting for the staff at the door to open the cabin door for the guests with a smile on their faces.
There are three rows of 12-seat aluminum alloy seats in the cabin, there is no one inside, and there are no guests in the outfield, and through the glass window on the front door, you can see the instrument panel in the cab.
As soon as An Yi stepped into the cabin, the hatch behind him slammed shut, and there were only three guests in the entire airship.
Jiang Yan threw her handbag to the window, crossed her waist and said to the two, "Sit casually, I have already chartered this boat." ”
An Yi took a look at this cabin, it was bigger than a bus, and it would cost a lot of money to rent it, it seemed that Jiang Yan had invested a lot of money.
The small propellers outside were heard humming, the cables were lowered, the airship left the ground, and the towers below, the rooftops, and the people waving, gradually became smaller and plunged into the blue sky and white clouds.
The airship turned around in the air and flew towards the sunset, and in the sky, a line of blue birds was among the colorful clouds.
"Where are we going?"
Jiang Yan replied with a flat mouth: "The ancient city of Tiahuanaco." ”
An Yi took out his mobile phone and nodded, "Then you have to book a local hotel first." ”
"There are no hostels there. Jiang Yan took her hand and said, "I have arranged everything." ”
Arrange everything? She was premeditated.
Every time you go to a beautiful place, the cabin will sound the captain's prompt, the airship hovers above a large lake, I heard that it is called "Lake Titicaca", the lake is blue, there is a flock of egrets flying close to the water, there is a small pier by the lake, bungalows built together, surrounded by dry yellow grass and red soil, not far from the Andes Mountains, the top of the mountain is covered with snow.
The airship circled the lake, overlooking the temples, pyramids, and stone carvings below, and it flew away from the city and landed on a high ground west of the ruins of Tiahuanaco.
Coming out of the cabin, the breeze along the mountain slopes brings the smell of grass and mud, surrounded by rocky dirt slopes.
The crew removed a pile of large cardboard boxes, and the airship rose again, flew over the snow-covered summit, and disappeared from view.
At the foot of the hillside there is a section of ruined wall, and the boulders form a large shadow on the ground, which is the place where archaeologists are fascinated, the mysterious ancient ruins of Pumapun.
The camera became restless in her hands, her feet automatically walked forward, and while Jiang Yan and her husband were still packing their luggage, she walked alone to the ruins.
Walk down the ruined walls, slide your fingertips over the uneven walls, stop under the H-shaped boulders, ascend to the central altar, pass under the Puerta del Sol, and hold up your DSLR camera to photograph the lion carvings on the door.
As soon as the camera sank, Kaiming appeared under the Sun Gate, clicking, leaving this moment.
He walked over while paying attention to the rubble on the ground, "Anyi, did you find anything?"
She touched the corner of the Sun Gate and said, "This gate is carved from a single rock and weighs more than 10 tons. ”
"Does this have anything to do with aliens?"
"Lo and behold, the flatness of the cutting surface of this boulder, the corners are at standard right angles, the square holes carved by laser light, and the liquefied stone, without a considerable level of technology, such a huge city-state cannot be built. ”
Kai Ming looked at the boulders, "It's hard to say, human beings have even come up with such a devastating weapon, it shouldn't be difficult to build a stone city." If you are in a hurry, the sow can also get into the tree. ”
It seems that he does not understand architecture.
"The cutting technique of the rocks here cannot be reasonably explained to this day, let alone the ancients 15,000 years ago, when people were still running behind the wild boar's butt with bamboo poles, and in the era when there were no iron tools, this magnificent and exquisite stone city was to be built, unless the intelligence of the ancients suddenly opened. ”
Kai Ming nodded, "It's really unrealistic to ask a group of wild monkeys to recite the Three Character Sutra. ”
