0117 Knock on the door
Black huge city ruins. You can imagine that 5,000 years ago, it was at its peak.
But the ruins, all that remained were black, only the bottom of the city that was difficult to discern.
It's like the house has collapsed, and only the corners remain.
You can imagine how terrible the devastating catastrophe that took place here was back then.
Powell led the way, and the team passed through the vast expanse of black ancient ruins.
The ultra-low temperature below minus 40 degrees Celsius all year round makes time seem to be frozen. Everything is as old as it gets.
Half an hour later, the sleigh arrived at a hidden cave at the other end of the ruins.
Powell shook the glow stick in his hand in front of him and said, "According to the information left back then, this is the place where the remaining half of the Divine Light Triangle is stored." ”
He eagerly led the way in the sleigh. Fu Hao and a large number of other people followed.
The cave was filled with extremely deep snow and ice. There is nothing in the way of the sleigh moving forward.
The hole was so deep that it took half an hour for the sleigh to reach the end of the hole.
It was extremely thick in ice, and the only thing special was that there was a small bell next to it that had been completely frozen.
I don't know what it's used for.
Elsewhere it looks like there should be a solid mountain wall behind it. Nothing else.
There was a whining wind in the cave.
At this time, the president was wrapped in a huge black leather coat and walked over like a bear, "What about the road ahead?" ”
Powell, "uh...... There is no way out of the road at all in the current situation......"
The president frowned and looked at his watch and said, "There are less than forty minutes left." Find your way now. ”
A cold sweat broke out on Powell's head. Not because of the president's words, but because of his own ambitions.
All the people of the Illuminating Prophet were watching left and right, but there was only snow and ice on the cave walls.
What Fu Hao knows is. In the original movie, the road was opened by Laura. She shook the little bell, and the road opened.
But the problem now is that the clock is a little different from the movie. Fu Hao and Laura were also squatting under the bell at this time.
There was no pendulum under the bell to ring the bell. And the whole bell was frozen in ice.
It seems that the plot has changed...... Fu Hao pinched his chin with his hand and thought about this question.
After squatting and looking at the bell for a while, Laura got up and asked Fu Hao, "What do you think is going on here?" ”
Fu Hao shook his head and didn't speak.
For the Illumination Prophet Society. This is even more serious. But the question is, what exactly is left here and what role does it play. No one knows where the road is.
Everything is covered with ice.
The Illumination Prophet Society also brought several archaeologists with it this time. Two of them were checking the clock. After observing the surrounding ice, a few people on the other side said to the chairman, "Mr. President, I think there should be a reminder carved into the stone walls around this area. But they were all covered in snow and ice. ”
When the president heard this, he immediately commanded the people around him. "Then give me the ice and clear it in ten minutes. I can't afford to drag it anymore. ”
He said that. The faces of everyone around him changed. To shovel these thousand-year-old ice immediately is a joke.
But both the president and Powell were getting impatient. Powell also shouted, "Shovel now, shovel ice now!" ”
"Shovel it all!"
The dozens of people who accompanied him did not bring many tools for shoveling ice this time. But there are still things like iron picks.
So dozens of people began to wave ice axes. The clanging of all kinds of steel on the iron-like hard ice came and went.
Powell was in Cambodia before, and when he opened the door to the ruins, he was only willing to lie on the sofa and drink red wine elegantly. The door was opened by his men.
But at this time, he actually went into battle in person. Pick up the ice axe and nail it into the ice next to it.
But in such a place where the temperature is more than minus 40 degrees or even minus 70 degrees, I want to crack open this thousand-year-old ice layer in a short time. It's undoubtedly a fool's dream.
The ice had been frozen harder than steel.
Powell rounded his arms and slammed an ice pickaxe into it. There was a ding, leaving a white spot on the ice.
"Oh, Shet!" He shook his numb hand and scolded.
The hardness of ice is only related to temperature, and when the temperature is low enough, it is as hard as special steel.
The other ice shovelers next to him were in a similar situation. Except for the occasional splash of a few diamond-sized transparent Xiaoice grains, talking about progress is laughing.
The president paced eagerly back and forth in the cave.
"Five thousand years! After waiting for 5,000 years, it is now stuck in this hole!! ”
Laura was also frowning and studying the little bell carefully. At this time, the hand touched back and forth in the clock, "frozen." Theoretically, there shouldn't be no clues. ”
She wanted to save her father's heart, and in a sense, it was no easier than the people who illuminated the Prophet's Society.
The archaeologist next to him was also studying the bell, saying, "The temperature 5,000 years ago was very different from today. This place was probably not as cold in the past as it is now, so a lot of stuff was frozen in ice......"
As they spoke, the anxious Powell and the president had already come running.
Fu Hao said at this time, "Don't underestimate the wisdom of these ancients. Since they have set this bell. Then there must be a reason for it. ”
One of the archaeologists of the Illuminated Prophet Society spread his hands disapprovingly and said, "We have seen this bell many times. Nothing special. And it's frozen, too! It doesn't work at all. Let's shovel ice! ”
Chief Powell and Chairman Powell next to him sighed together, and they could only choose to believe the archaeologist's words.
They trust archaeologists much more than Fu Hao and Laura. After all, those two were only brought for the "Eye of Eternity" and the "Triangle Fragment".
The president and Powell turned to see the ice shoveling.
Fu Hao said to the expert, "You can't use it because you are too gentle. ”
He said to Powell, who was about to leave, and said, "Lend me your ice." ”
Powell, "This? ”
Fu Hao couldn't help but pick it up. He held the pickaxe horizontally in both hands, made a baseball, swung it again, and slammed it on the bell.
The expert next to him shouted, "Don't push too hard, you'll damage it!" ”
Fu Hao was obviously very hard. Suddenly, the bell was shaking, and the ice shell on it was spreading.
Fu Hao then swung again, boom! The bell was vibrating, and the sound was muffled. But the ice on it has all dispersed.
Experts are in a hurry at this time, and most people who play archaeology have a bit of an instinct to protect cultural relics. He yelled at Powell, "Stop this madman." The bell has nothing to do with the road. ”
That's what he's talking about.
Fu Hao swung it for the third time, and the iron pickaxe hit the bell hard for the third time.
While! A long bell rang. The whole ice cave began to shake. Everyone stumbled and couldn't stand.
All sorts of snow and ice flakes are falling down. Everyone in the entire cave was so shocked that they covered their ears.
It felt like some sealed monster had been released.
The loudness and penetration of the bell was beyond the imagination of everyone around her.
The bell seemed to pass through all the ice and reach the depths of the earth. (To be continued......)
