Chapter 146: Tortoise Shell

If it were in normal times, Zhou Xuanye's words, I would definitely be able to refute them, but I only reacted like that a moment ago, so that I don't even have a position to refute it now. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

I suddenly felt a little frightened, people are really a terrible animal, different environments, create different people, but these different people, put in a specific environment, they will actually make the same choice.

I thought I had a clear conscience, that I was worthy of my conscience, and that I even felt that I was different from those who were mercenary.

But now I realize that there is no difference between me and them.

After hitting me hard, Zhou Xuanye returned to his usual appearance, and he didn't see the slightest hurry, but walked to the collapse in front of him, and took out a folding shovel to dig the pile of soil and stones.

I took a deep breath to calm myself down, put my glasses aside for the time being, and walked over to Zhou Xuanye to watch him dig in the soil.

The two of us agreed very tacitly not to continue the topic just now.

Is there any need to continue that topic? Without.

Whether it is me or Zhou Xuanye, they are all human beings, and if they are human beings, they have the inferior nature of human beings. It's not fun to dig out your own bad roots. I changed the subject and asked him what he was digging up at this time.

Zhou Xuanye smiled, as if nothing had happened just now, and when he saw me coming up, he said, "Don't be idle, dig together." ”

I took out a folding shovel and dug next to it, saying, "You want to dig a passage to get out?" ”

Zhou Xuanye said: "Am I that stupid? ”

When we dig out a road, it is estimated that it will be enough to tear us hundreds of times, I think Zhou Xuanye is really not so stupid, so he said: "Then what are we digging now?" ”

Zhou Xuanye said: "I calculated the position, altitude and terrain where we are, the current position we are in, it should not be far from the ground, the difference is a passage, even if this passage is not long, but we don't have time to dig."

But you find that no, this passage, the front one is very stable, it has collapsed here, there must be a reason, what do you think is the biggest possibility? ”

I said; "Geological activity, limited compressive structures, or destruction of structures."

Zhou Xuanye said: "If it is a geological activity, then it should not only collapse this section, if it is the collapse of the compressive structure, it should not only collapse this piece, so it should be the third situation, this area, destroyed by some external force, what do you think, what is the most likely?" ”

External force?

I couldn't help but make a map of the structure of the surface of this area in my mind, and suddenly I understood, and said, "Plants, trees, roots." ”

Zhou Xuanye Dao; "Don't underestimate the ability of plants, the tree is big and has deep roots, and stubborn stones can be halved by it. The reason why this place collapsed must be that there are large ancient trees on it, and the root system under the trees has destroyed the compressive structure here, so it will collapse. ”

I praised Zhou Xuanye's reasoning ability in my heart, but then I felt that something was wrong: "What is the connection between the roots of the tree and our current danger?" Are we going to dig up the roots? ”

Zhou Xuanye nodded, smiled, and said; "Yes, digging up the roots."

I said, "Don't laugh, at least tell me what's the use of digging up roots." ”

He said; "First, judging the trend of the roots of the tree, you can know how to dig a hole out; Second, the roots of the tree are everywhere, but the collapse is here, which means that the compressive structure near here is different from other places. At that time, the construction capacity was not mature for many years, so I estimated that this area should be a dividing road, or a place with a stone chamber or something, and we will find that place first. ”

"What if those places also collapse?"

Zhou Xuanye said: "Then let's wait for death." ”

"......" I dug hard. The two of them worked together to get down a lot faster, and in a moment, just as Zhou Xuanye said, we dug up a very thick root.

Zhou Xuanye looked at the growth trend of the tree's roots, and immediately pointed to the direction in which it extended, and said, "Dig here." ”

The two of us dug up diagonally, about four or five meters, and the opposite side was really open.

At the same time, I faintly heard the jade door crashing and making a fragile cracking sound. The nature of jade is inherently brittle, and this kind of door is not so much practical as a symbol, and there is no way to really block anything.

Behind the door are dead people, dead people will not go out, outside the door are living people, living people will not enter if they have nothing to do, that black jade door is about a boundary drawn by people for life and death.

As soon as the hole was dug through, we drilled through it without saying a word, and the hole was so narrow that we had to twist our waists and swing our hips to pass through. The contents of the bulging equipment bag were split into several parts and stuffed over.

This hole is not a difficult thing for us, but it is enough to stump those hairy corpses, because these low-level hairy corpses, their bodies are stiff, they can only bite, they can't make holes, they can't climb, they go straight to the ground, and this five or six meters deep soil hole alone can block them all.

We crawled over with our front feet, and before we had time to observe the situation behind the soil hole, on the back feet, those fast hairy corpses caught up, and the first to see was the purple hair.

Compared with the purple hair, the body is much more flexible, it bends down, trying to get into this earth hole, but the body with corpse hair and corpse qi is twice as strong as me, where can it drill through this hole.

I looked to the other side, and the cold mask on the purple hair's face stared straight at me, and the purple, steel needle-like corpse hair behind the mask flowed faintly purple in the light of the searchlight.

These things can't get in for a while, they get stuck in the shoulders, their stiff and broad shoulders, they can't shrink like us living people, they can't squeeze in at all.

It then withdrew its head, and its hands began to widen the hole, and I was startled, and said; "Y-why is it still making holes?"

Zhou Xuanye said: "Do you think that the thousand-year-old purple-haired corpse can't even hit the hole?" ”

I said, "Don't add such a long list of adjectives to it, it, it's so fast!" ”

Before I finished speaking, Zhou Xuanye clasped my shoulder, threw me aside, and put his head at the entrance of the hole. That's when I noticed that he was holding a grenade in his hand.

I immediately understood what Zhou Xuanye meant, and I couldn't help but want to shout yes.

But he didn't give me this chance, pulled out the safety bolt, threw the grenade, turned around and ran, and I had consciously retreated to a position about ten meters away.

I heard a loud bang, the whole earth seemed to be trembling, the compressive structure that was originally fragile because of the destruction of the root system of the ancient trees was suddenly destroyed even more, more earth and stones rolled down, and the hole we dug also collapsed all of a sudden, in the dust, Zhou Xuanye and I kept retreating, and when the surrounding area returned to calm, where could we still hear the movement of those hairy corpses.

I breathed a sigh of relief; "Thank goodness for finally getting rid of them."

It was only at this time that I had the opportunity to observe the specific environment around me, and when I came in to take a general look, I only knew that there was a passage at this time, which was similar to the previous one, but when I looked closely, I found that this passage was actually very short, and at the end of it was a stone chamber, and at this moment, we had retreated to the mouth of the stone chamber, and when the light went into the stone chamber, we could see the rotten wood and the yellowing things piled up together.

After carefully discerning for a moment, I realized that these were oracle bones, which were a method of recording divination results in ancient times.

Looking at it again, these oracle bones are not engraved with oracle bones, but with many pictures.

I said in my heart: Could it be that people don't have their own words? And the geographical environment in which people live is far away from the population, and the cultural development is naturally slow, and there is no writing, so it is not unusual. It's just that there are so many oracle bones in this place, what are they used for?

I randomly picked up a piece of oracle bone and looked at it, and found that the depiction on it was very interesting, it was a crying child peeing. I said in my heart that this is very interesting, aren't the oracle bones used to record more important divination events? They got there, they used it to paint, and they drew a peeing child.

But soon, I didn't think it was funny, because I suddenly noticed that the child looked familiar.

It's a weird feeling.

A stick figure is difficult to connect with people in reality, just like normal people, they don't think that a certain animated character will be very similar to the people around them, although there are such things, but the probability is very small.

However, at this moment, this kind of small probability happened to me.

This kid ...... Like whom?
