Chapter 0920: Ancient Underground Tunnel
"How could there be so many without warning?"
After leaving some people in the underground world to guard the forward base, Eryi, who rushed back from the underground, had a headache.
They were in the underground world, but not a single living terror had found out, who knew that the other party had come out of the human world directly.
This incident is even more serious than the previous "undead natural disaster", because the scope of the impact is too wide, and the scale of the incident is too large, and the witnesses are ...... To be precise, there were too many victims, and the lid on the supernatural event was completely uncovered this time, so much so that it caused a massive panic around the world.
The situation in a country with strict regulations like Huangguo is a little better, and the people are relatively stable except for some panic.
In particular, the Huangguo side reacted in an extremely timely manner, and as soon as the terrorist invasion was discovered, it blockaded the area in the name of military exercises, and controlled the situation within a small area, so it did not cause much turmoil.
This is not the case in other countries, especially in places like America, where the social environment and religious beliefs are already extremely chaotic, and some crooked religious organizations that are afraid of chaos in the world have even taken the opportunity to jump out and hype up their apocalyptic theories.
Most of the worst affected countries are countries with ancient civilizations, such as the Inca, Babylon, the Nile, and the Mauryan Empire.
"They came out of the ground almost at the same time, and most of the places where they gushed out had one thing in common, that is, there were ancient underground tunnels!"
"This kind of ancient underground tunnel is actually not uncommon, and such deep underground tunnels have basically been found on all continents, even in the Bashu region of our Huang Kingdom. ”
The representative of Huangguo of the World Federation of Nations happens to be their old acquaintance, Commissioner Qin, the former leader of the special affairs special team, who will be responsible for communicating with the Land Security Bureau on behalf of Huangguo and explaining the situation to Eryi and them who rushed back urgently.
"There are also ancient tunnels in the Bashu region?"
After a pause, he reacted: "Sanxingdui?"
As a person who has been engaged in archaeological work, Eryi is naturally well aware of the various doubts that exist in the Sanxingdui civilization, such as the ivory, seashells, protruding eye masks and golden scepters excavated in Sanxingdui.
Neither ivory nor seashells should theoretically be found in the tombs of the Bashu region, where there are no elephants and far from the ocean.
And the protruding-eyed mask that looks like an alien and the golden scepter that does not conform to the fashion of the Central Plains are also places that make archaeologists puzzled.
But if there is an ancient tunnel under the Bashu region, which can connect the continents and the birthplace of ancient civilizations, then this thing seems to make sense, who knows if the people in ancient times traded in this way, or paid tribute to advanced civilizations?
Interestingly, similar bronze masks and golden scepters, the second one also happens to have one each, that is, the "Kunwu Bronze Gluttonous Beast Face Swallowing Cheek Mask" and "Qishan Golden Snake Spirit Staff" that helped him a lot in the early days.
As for why tunnels were dug underground for passage, rather than directly through the surface trade routes, there was some speculation about why the two were to be dug underground.
This is probably related to what Ash mentioned, the harsh environment on the surface after the catastrophe of the previous generation of civilizations, the ancient races that could not survive on the surface fled into the underground for refuge, and on this basis, they developed an underground civilization and a huge underground transportation network.
It sounds impossible, after all, such a huge project, even modern people can not use advanced large-scale construction machinery to do, how did the ancients in that primitive era do it?
But who knows if the ancient races have special abilities that modern humans don't have?
For example, abilities like [Rapid Excavation], [Wall Excavation], [Hole Digging], and [Soil Removal] that Eryi mastered?
If this is not the case, then where did the bloodline ability of the Western earth superpowers and the descendants of the "Hou Tu clan" ancestors of the Huang Kingdom come from?
All in all, the underground transportation network left by the ancient ancestors, after the impact of the cataclysm passed, the aborigines of the new civilization returned to life on the surface.
The original underground tunnels were also abandoned, thus being forgotten by future generations.
However, it was used by the terrorists living underground, and became a troop transport line to raid the surface civilization.
"The terrorists who are attacking the surface are strange, they look advanced and primitive. ”
"They are advanced because they know how to make and use extremely high-tech weapons, armor, vehicles and other equipment. ”
"And they are primitive, because these horrors are so barbaric and brutal, they even eat the corpses of humans and their own kind who died in battle!"
"It's understandable to say that eating flesh and blood raw is a habit of their species, but eating the corpses of their own kind is obviously not like the behavior of high-level intelligent beings. ”
"In addition, their individual strength is extremely strong, although they have very advanced energy weapons, but they are more inclined to rely on physical combat, and the use of those advanced equipment is very simple and rude......"
Regarding the strange behavior of the terrorist, Commissioner Qin was obviously also puzzled: "Judging by the other party's behavior, we are very suspicious of these terrorists, and we don't know where we have obtained such a batch of advanced equipment, they just know how to use it, and they are not really advanced civilizations!"
After listening to Commissioner Qin's explanation, Er Yi blinked his eyes.
Suddenly I thought of the empty and abandoned human settlements in the Antarctic underworld.
If we say, the inhabitants of the Third Reich in the Aryan dungeons of Antarctica did not die by some irresistible force.
What happens if you are captured as a slave by the terrorists who live underground, or if you simply join the terrorists?
It's fine if they're just captured and have to make advanced weapons and equipment for them under the threat of terror, but if it's the latter, it's a problem!
After all, judging from various clues, the people of the Third Reich who fled into the Aryan dungeons in Antarctica at that time actually held some of the ancient super technology left over from the Atlantean civilization!
Although it is not known where they got it, from the fact that the Third Reich was able to manufacture the so-called "Iron Cross Flying Saucer" during World War II, and has a variety of mature technologies, they did master the ancient super technology of the Atlantean civilization.
If they take the initiative to join the camp of the terrorists and use this technology to arm the terrorists to counterattack the surface world, it will definitely be a terrible disaster for human civilization!
