"Would you like a piece of bread, Captain Bartlett?"

At dusk, Julie took the bread she had made, came to the huge pit in the camp, and "sold" to the Bartlett and the others in the pit: "I have prepared a lot of new varieties today, let's let everyone come up for dinner first." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Julie, you put it on it first. The gray-haired Bartlett in the pit raised his head and looked up at the blonde girl outside the pit: "Go and call Master Clark, and the other lads will have dinner first." I have a hunch that we'll find something today!"

As he spoke, Bartlett turned around and crouched down, touched the ground with his left hand, and once again used the mental image of material transformation, and began to change the structure of the ground beneath him, softening the hard stones and breaking them into fine particles, making them easier to excavate.

It's now their third day here. After setting up the camp's defenses on the first day, the next day began to dig holes in the area according to Master Clark's instructions.

At first, Bartlett was able to use the power of earth control to clear the rocks and create a downward passage. As he went deeper into the ground, the difficulty of clearing the rocks became more and more enormous, so he had to choose to switch to the mental image of material transformation, cooperate with Reese's self-space, and continue to dig down with the two young people.

It's a pity that with his current level of mental imagery, there is still a certain limit to the effect of matter conversion, and he can't directly turn rocks and soil into air or water, otherwise they may be able to save a lot of time.

Seeing that the uncle under the pit was once again an excavator, the girl on the ground pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Then I'll help you keep some here, Captain Bartlett, Uncle Reese, what do you all want to taste?"

"Captain Bartlett, let's stop for now, it's only a third of the time, there's no need to be in such a hurry. Reece straightened up, looked at the sky, and proposed, "It's getting dark, we should have some food and rest." After all, this is outside the circle, we need to conserve some stamina and wait until tomorrow to continue digging. ”

This brown-haired middle-aged man is nearly fifty years old this year, and he belongs to the most mature and stable one in this team. Because he is always vigilant, and he happens to have the convenience of his own space, he can carry with him an independent space the size of a house in the Northern Regions. So Bartlett put him in charge of most of the supplies. As for his opinions, Bartlett tends to be cautious.

"This ......" Bartlett also straightened up, raised his head again, and found that the already gray sky had indeed become deeper and deeper, and being under this pit had unexpectedly added a sense of seclusion.

"Let's get here first. Bartlett nodded after a moment's silence, and thrust the shovel hard at his feet. What he didn't expect was that after the shovel was inserted into the soil, there was a sudden strange noise.

"It's!"

Bartlett was stunned for a moment, and then felt that something was wrong.

He jerked the shovel and turned over the sand, and sure enough, he saw a smooth gray-white rock mass that was completely different from the soil on it.

It's not like a trace of natural formation!

Bartlett glanced at Reese, who had also seen the scene, and realized that they had both come to the same conclusion.

It's man-made!

"Julie!"

With such a discovery, Bartlett suddenly raised his head and shouted at the blonde girl in the pit: "Go and call Master Clarke, immediately!"

"Huh?" Julie was slightly stunned, and then immediately realized that the regiment commander and others had made a major discovery.

"I'll be there right away!" she replied in a loud voice, dropping the bread in her hand, and running to her grandfather's tent.

But in a moment, Master Clark appeared at the mouth of the pit and ripped his loud voice open, "Bartlett, Reese, what did you guys find?"

"Rock, Master Clark, polished rock!" Bartlett shouted at a high voice, and then said to the red-haired young man beside him, "Rosen, go and pick up Master Clark." ”

The young man named Rosen, who had a floating mind, nodded as soon as he heard the instructions, urged his mind to float up, and took the old scholar down.

As soon as Master Clark landed, he hurriedly threw himself down in front of the gray-white rock mass, wiped the sand and stone on it, and carefully looked at it from the magnifying glass in his coat pocket, completely ignoring the image of the so-called scholar.

"This is gray ironstone, a rock with great hardness and load-bearing capacity, which is mostly used as a roof for underground buildings. ”

However, after a moment, the old man came to the conclusion: "Although I found out that there should be a tunnel here, I didn't expect that someone had already used this tunnel to build some kind of underground structure. ”

"Somebody would be making this kind of thing outside the circle. Rosen couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know. Master Clark shook his head, looking at the smooth gray iron rock under his feet, his eyes became extremely solemn: "But I know that this will definitely not be a good thing. ”

There was silence in the room.

Bartlett couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The earthquake on the occasion of the New Year in the Northern Regions was indeed strange, but except for the strongest person who could open mountains and seas and change the heavens, he really couldn't imagine that there were humans who could create such a disaster.

But if not manpower, then what will it be?

The thought of the truth he was about to see made Bartlett feel troubled. But at this moment, who is not like this among all those present?

As long as you break this stone slab, the truth of everything is close at hand.

"Let's go up. ”

After a long time, Bartlett made his own judgment: "Have a good rest tonight, be sure to have enough energy, and come back tomorrow to break this slate." ”

"Won't you reveal the answer today?" Reese asked with a smile.

"The devil knows what's down there, what if you open the slab and countless demons come out from underneath?" Bartlett scolded hatefully, knowing that Reece had asked on purpose, "Since we have to face it, of course we have to adjust to the best possible condition." ”

After saying that, he took a deep look at the stone slab and urged Rosen to lead everyone back to the ground.

At this time, no one noticed that a small lizard, after taking everything in the pit into its eyes, trembled and convulsed to death.

On a cliff far from the mission's camp, a man in black suddenly opened his eyes.

"It was discovered so quickly. (To be continued.) )
