Chapter 48: Prehistoric Nuclear War

"A nuclear war took place in 1800 BC in the city of Death Hill on the lower Indus River. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

"How is that possible! That's nearly 4,000 years old, how could people have nuclear weapons at that time! Don't talk nonsense, Annie! ”

Stern and Donnie were shocked by Annie's words, and both looked at Annie with incredulous expressions.

"That's not what I said, I heard the professor mention it, and he said that there are scientists who have gone to this place called Mohenjo? An investigation of the ruins of the ancient city of Darrow revealed signs of a nuclear explosion at this site. They believe that the inhabitants of the site died in a sudden nuclear explosion. The professor also told me that there was a legend of a strange explosion in ancient India, and many descriptions of 'dazzling light', 'smokeless fire', 'purple-white aurora', 'silver cloud', 'strange sunset', 'day in the night', etc., can prove that the nuclear explosion was the real culprit for the destruction of the ancient city. The ancient Indian narrative epic "Magabharata" has scenes that describe the use of nuclear weapons in ancient Indian wars. ”

This is the first time Stern has heard of such a sensational thing, and an ancient civilization nearly 4,000 years ago actually used nuclear weapons to fight. Just imagining it in my mind makes my hair stand on end, and it's much more terrifying than the weird creatures raised by these Khmer people. But Anne's sudden mention of the professor made him feel nervous!

"Annie! You said that the Khmer people's religion came from India, so do you think it is possible that they also possessed advanced technology from ancient India? ”

"It's... This is indeed possible, as early Hindu civilization did spread to Indochina with the development of trade with China, which led to the establishment of large and small Hindu states. ”

"Then let me ask you, you have been by the professor's side for so long, according to your judgment, is it possible that the purpose of the professor's visit here this time is for these long-lost ancient technologies?"

Anne was stunned for a moment, and as soon as Stern reminded her, she remembered that the professor had indeed mentioned many times that many civilizations from ancient India had indeed taken root here, so it is likely that the Khmer people's technology for raising these creatures originated from ancient India. But he couldn't understand why Stern suddenly asked that.

"What does this have to do with the professor?"

"I now suspect that the professor may know the secret weapons of the Khmers, such as the preparation technology you mentioned for nuclear war in ancient India!"

"Nope! That's impossible! The nuclear war I am talking about is just a hypothesis made by some scientists about the unidentified explosion that took place on the ruins of the ancient city of Mohenjo Daro! There is not enough evidence that it was caused by nuclear war! Besides, even if it were, it was impossible for the ancient Khmers to develop this level of civilization! ”

Anne dismissed Stern's conclusion in one fell swoop, only because she didn't think it was possible with her current knowledge of Khmer culture.

"Well, I'm just skeptical." Stern didn't expect Anne to react so much, thinking that she was because she had mentioned something related to the professor again.

But Anne was not thrilled by Stern's purpose in talking about the professor, on the contrary, she was made to think crankily in her mind because of Stern's very bold assumption. Then suddenly remembered the last sentence of the curse of the stone lion statue - in the end he will see the destruction of Brahma! Anomalous creatures encountered along the way... Electromagnetic waves at Stonehenge... Even... Destroy! Brahman is the world! The world is Brahman! Destruction in ruins! Nuclear contamination leads to the mutation of living things!

"Oh my God! Is this true? ”

"What's wrong? Annie? ”

"No... Nothing, I just suddenly remembered that we had been gone for a while and were a little tired. Anne didn't dare to think about it, she thought she must have been so tired that she was a little delirious, so she began to think of the mess.

Downey said, "Yes, how do I think this stone staircase is so long, it doesn't seem to be halfway there." ”

Stern looked at Donnie, who had been supporting him to walk, a little tired, so he said, "Why don't we rest in place first?" ”

Anne responded, "Okay. She then placed the lotus lantern on the ground and rubbed her shoulder, which was already a little sore, to distract herself.

Donnie and Cansa helped Stern to sit down on the stone steps next to Anne, and rested against the stone wall by the stone steps around the lotus lamp that emitted a dim light.

"Who is it?" Not long after he sat down, Donnie asked.

Anne asked him, "What's wrong?" ”

"Did someone grab my hand just now? Sergeant, is that you? "Donnie couldn't see because Stern couldn't see, so he thought he needed help with something.

"I didn't, I sat next to Anne all the time."

"Is that Kansa? Sergeant, you ask him. ”

Stern asked Kansa if he had grabbed Donnie's hand, and Kansa shook his head: "He also said no, are you hallucinating?" If there is no excessive fatigue for a long time, the human body may experience hallucinations. ”

"Oh! Maybe. Saying this, Donnie still felt a little strange, because he should be able to tell whether it was a hallucination or not.

Donnie started to panic a little and said, "No, it looks like something is really catching me!" ”

Needless to say, Stern and Kansa had already heard a very slight sound of rustling in the darkness. Stern intuitively thinks that it might be a ghost hand on the stone wall, so he immediately tells Donnie to stay away from the stone wall immediately! Before Stern could finish speaking, Donnie whined and screamed, and kicked his hands and feet in the shadows.

"Anne, take the lotus lantern and shine it on Donnie!"

Anne heard Donnie's shout, and immediately reacted when she heard Stern say this, and picked up the lotus lantern with one hand to shine it on Donnie's position. Just as the light shone on Donnie and the stone wall behind him, Anne suddenly saw countless pairs of withered "black hands" wrapped around Donnie's body, and then instantly retracted back into the wall and disappeared without a trace.

Downey, who was rescued, was so frightened that he crawled away from the wall, gasping for breath and saying, "Oh my God! Scared the hell out of me! A lot of claws just grabbed me and wrapped around me! Almost died! ”

"These are the ghost hands on the secret door in the secret room! I'd seen it once in the grotto before I was taken by the tarantula! These things are afraid of light! Hurry up! We're going to get to a place where there's light, away from the wall. ”

Downey and Anne suddenly realized, and hurriedly gathered under the lotus lamp, looking around in horror. At this time, the illumination range of the lotus lantern could barely cover each of them, but the fuel in the lamp was estimated to last for a short time, so everyone agreed to hurry up and continue to go up.

In this way, the four of them walked along the stone steps for half an hour with trepidation, and finally walked this long stone staircase, and came to a tall stone gate, on both sides of which stood two stone statues of three-headed and six-armed guards, holding a stone axe, guarding in front of Menai.

"How do you open this door?" As soon as Donnie saw that he had come to the door, he began to push it without thinking about it, and found that it could not be pushed like the secret door.

"Don't worry, maybe you need to find a mechanism here to open the door, you guys look around to see if there is any." Stern had the experience of opening secret doors in the past, and this time he reacted immediately.

At Stern's prompting, Anne saw a small stone hole on the right side of the stone door, and she observed that it matched the metal stem of the lotus lamp.

However, Anne was going to ask Stern for advice on whether to insert the lotus lantern in it, because he had a strong ability to judge potential dangers, whether it was in Stonehenge, the Chamber of Secrets, or even ...... Destroy!

"Sergeant, I found a socket that resembles a lotus lantern, do you think it could be the mechanism of this stone door?"

Anne felt like she was starting to think cranky again, so she had to distract herself from asking Stern.

"Plug it in, there should be no problem this time, besides, we have no way out." Stern spoke particularly firmly this time, as he already sensed the world behind the door beckoning to him.
