Chapter 58: The Buried City

I woke up with a little pain all over my body, but I felt better than I had just now. But when I fully opened my eyes and saw my surroundings, my heart was like thousands www.biquge.info of grass and mud horses galloping and roaring, this was thirty years ago?

I struggled to my feet, and as far as I could see, I was surrounded by clusters of two-person high earthen walls, and there was not a trace of green on the ground, and there was yellow sand everywhere, but this kind of sand was different from the desert I had seen on TV before, it was probably finer than the sand in the desert, and I bent down to grab a handful, and it was also very light.

The sky was gray, there was no sun, and visibility was not high. Not far away, there were a few trees on the ground that I didn't recognize, but they all looked like they had withered for decades, not to mention the leaves, and even the thinner branches had long since disappeared, leaving the main trunk still standing on the ground. Everything seems dead.

Turning his head, there is a towering and dilapidated "building" behind him is enclosed in this earthen wall, about dozens of meters high, a little like a pyramid, composed of oversized bar boulders, it looks very weathered, and the stacking is very irregular, the reason why it is like a pyramid, the only common point is that it is also narrower and narrower the higher it goes, but no matter which angle you look at, it does not look like it was built by man.

Lao Xing and his wife on the ground are still not awake, and Chen Ran's side except for her is also lying not far away, it seems that everyone is in the same situation just now.

But I took a look around, and I didn't find Uncle Zhi, didn't he come up just now? It can't be dropped somewhere else......

Thinking of this, I got up and looked around, walked a long way, and went around to the back of this 'pyramid', but there was still no trace of Uncle Zhi. But at the same time, I also found that the earthen wall behind this 'pyramid' has an exit, which means that you can go outside to see.

When I ran to the exit, I saw a vast desert with a flat desert as far as the eye could see, and in the distance there were a few dead trees of the same kind as the wall, and there were some boulders at intervals, half buried in the sand, half exposed. This boulder is not ordinarily large, although it is far away, it is estimated to be the size of three or four rooms.

Seeing this strange sight, I rummaged through the few archives in my head, but came to the conclusion that this was not anywhere on Earth that I knew.

I didn't find Uncle Zhi, and I didn't dare to go out, because I wasn't sure if it was safe outside, whether there would be any quicksand or something, so I thought it would be better to wake up Lao Xing and them first.

After turning around and coming back, I found that Chen Ran was sitting alone on the ground fiddling with something, but I didn't pay much attention to it, and quickly kicked Lao Xing and them.

After Lao Xing was kicked awake by me, followed by Hu Yu and Wu Qi, they all sat up in a daze.

Lao Xing rubbed his eyes, picked up the machine gun on the ground for the first time, and then said, "Damn, the shock just now made Lao Tzu ache!" Oh, where is this? ”

"Brother, wasn't it all dark when we first came, and now it looks like afternoon?"

Hu Yu stood up and patted the soil on the camouflage uniform, leaned over and picked up the crossbow machine, and did not speak.

I saw that they were all normal and didn't seem to be in any serious trouble, so I asked urgently, "Did you see Uncle Zhi when you were in a few formations?" Uncle Zhi doesn't seem to have come up! ”

After I finished speaking, the couple shook their heads and said they didn't see it.

I thought to myself, this is bad, Uncle Zhi was going to deal with Ami thirty years ago, but now that Uncle Zhi has not come up, can we handle it with just a few of us? Alas, now I can only pray in my heart that Ami may have been a rookie thirty years ago......

And this matter can't be publicized now, that Jiang Shichang is Ami's apprentice, maybe he has some ability, before tearing his face, it's better to keep a low profile.

Thinking of this, I whispered to Lao Xing and a few of them to bite their ears, so as not to cause extraneous branches.

At this time, several people on Chen Ran's side also woke up one after another, but as soon as they got together, they all gathered around Chen Ran, huddled together and looked at the thing that Chen Ran was fiddling with.

Seeing this, Lao Xing also ran over, stretched his neck and looked at it twice, but he didn't seem to understand, so he asked, "I said Sister Chen, do you think we are wearing the wrong one this time?" Doesn't that sound like 30 years ago? I went around and found that it didn't even look like it was on Earth! ”

Chen Ran still fiddled with the things in his hand and ignored him.

However, the 'black long straight' beauty Shen Xin raised her head and explained to Lao Xing: "We haven't crossed yet, this should be a passage connecting time and space." ”

"Space-time portal? Do you mean that people are all 'whew' to go through it, and at most they can go by lightning strikes, ah, when it's Lao Tzu's turn, they have to walk over? ”

Although Lao Xing has always been this kind of raunchy boss and rough style no matter who he talks to, this girl obviously didn't take it seriously, but nodded politely and continued to say to him: "Well, it's basically what you said, first go through the jump of space, and then 'walk and go' through." ”

Lao Xing was speechless, and he couldn't understand what people were doing, so he sat on the ground and fiddled with the machine gun.

Seeing this, I also walked over and asked that Shen Xin, "Sister, what's going on with this passage you are talking about?" ”

Shen Xin saw that I asked her by name, stood up with a smile on his face and said, "The place where we are now is the passage that links the gate of time and space, where is this end where we are, Teacher Chen is confirming." ”

"If you're far away from that gate of time and space, won't you be trapped here?" Thinking of the boundless desert outside just now, I couldn't help but be a little scared.

"You haven't opened your backpack yet, it has sleeping bags, food, drink, and simple tools, enough for an average adult for a week." Shen Xin said.

At this time, Chen Ran suddenly stood up and said: "Except for Mr. Zhi, everyone has also arrived, and Mr. Zhi doesn't have to worry about it, if you fail to cross over, you will only stay in place, and it will be fine." ”

Chen Ran's expression flashed a hint of unnaturalness when she said this, although this was not easy to detect, but I discovered it, and at this time I was very suspicious of what she said.

But after a pause, she continued, "Now all you have to do is open your backpack, there is a map in it, take it out and take a look at it first." The place where we are now should be the 'Buried City' marked on the map. ”

After hearing this, we all opened the hiking bag, which did contain a lot of compressed food, as well as tools such as flashlights and ropes, as well as thin rolls, presumably this is a sleeping bag.

Finally, under the backpack, I found a small transparent box containing the map.

It is a colorful machine-printed map with a variety of place names, as well as simple pictograms of rivers, mountains, forests, buildings, and so on.

There is an oval mark in the middle of the map, which is particularly conspicuous, presumably this is the gate of time and space, but the words 'Star Picking Platform' are written next to it.

But I took this 'Star Picking Platform' as the center of the circle, and I searched for a long time, but I didn't see any 'buried city' marked anywhere.

However, after careful inspection, I finally saw this 'buried city' in a far corner, and a gray pyramid-shaped pattern was painted next to it.

I can't understand the scale of this map, but for this distance, this place is too far away from the 'Star Picking Terrace' in the middle......

"Let's rest in place for ten minutes, and before it gets dark, we have to find the entrance to the 'pyramid' behind us and enter the 'point of no return' dark passage." In other words, although Chen Ran has said so many things, he has always kept a straight face, as if he owed her money.

After Chen Ran finished speaking, I looked along the map, and sure enough, under the bottom of this 'buried city', there was a thin dotted line, as if it was used to represent a dark passage, and three small characters were written below the dotted line: Point of No Return!!
