Chapter Ninety-Three: The Source
"Salute to all the heroes who are fighting for the future of mankind"
Be unexpectedly rescued from a desperate situation.
"Fuck, what the hell is this, it hurts me." The captain said, and then he raised his hand, and saw that his hand was now red, as if it had been burned by something; Ren Cheng walked over at this time and asked, "Are you okay, don't touch the things here, it's a little strange here." ”
"I'm fine." The captain said, looking at his hand and saying, "Strange, why doesn't this feel anything?" ”
He raised his hand and looked at it, and saw that his hand was no longer so red, so he said, "This thing is amazing, when I took it just now, it hurt so much that I felt like I was about to die, how can I feel as if nothing happened." ”
Ren Cheng came to the captain's side, grabbed his hand and looked at it, sure enough, his hand was as if it was fine, and then looked at the contents of the box, although it was glowing, but it could also see its appearance clearly, just like an ordinary stone, but the whole body was white and radiated; So he found a stick and threw it up, but nothing happened, but he lifted the lid that had been on the box, and the lid fell to the ground with a gurgling sound, and then he saw something fall from the lid and make a crisp sound on the ground.
Ren Cheng then squatted on the ground and picked up the lid that had fallen on the ground and the thing that had come out of the lid; The thing that fell out was a copper piece, and it looked like the bronze in this platform, covered with patina, but you could still vaguely see what was written on it; So Ren Cheng put the lid aside, stood there with the copper sheet and looked at it, and the captain also came over and said, "Team Leader Ren, what is this?" What is written on it? ”
"I don't know, wait for me to see." Ren Cheng said, because the copper sheet was covered with patina, which made some of the words inside look a little illegible; He had to look at it slowly for a while before he said: "This copper plate says that the kind of thing in the box is called 'source', which is the purest substance in this universe, and it can bring human civilization one step closer, but because it is the purest substance, it can be absorbed by any kind of living being, but this absorption process is an extremely painful process, because the substances that make up the human body are all generated by impurities in the universe and are absorbed." The process of removal is very painful, and the pain is deep into the soul, so only the most determined person can achieve complete union with the source, and after the complete union with the source, this person will have the ability to contend with God. ”
After listening to Ren Cheng's explanation, the captain pointed to the contents of the box and said, "Is this thing the 'source' written on this copper sheet?" When I touched it just now, I was in real pain. ”
Ren Cheng put the copper piece in his hand into his bag, then looked at the contents of the box and said: "It should be the 'source', but how can this kind of thing be here, according to the information we have obtained from the herdsmen, these things should be outside the earth, and it seems to be wrapped in something, that kind of thing should be harmful to the gods, so they will come to the earth, enslave us, let us help them collect the 'source' back." ”
"Didn't that Dingli say just now, here is something left over from our last civilization, and the people in that civilization seem to be about to defeat God, is this thing left to us by them?" The captain said.
"You have a point, the reason why the humans of the last civilization failed to defeat the gods was probably because they discovered how to use it." At the time of the source, it was already time for the earth to leave that special area of the universe, so when the gods were destroying the creatures of the earth, in order to save mankind, they all died, and we should hurry up and see if there were any written records in the surrounding bronzes, and we should now leave here quickly, return to the headquarters to explain the situation here to the headquarters, and let them increase the number of people to study here. Ren Cheng said, then walked to the side and glanced at the bronzes, and pointed to the words on it and said, "You see, in fact, every bronze here has words on it, everyone go and confirm it; Then let's talk a little bit more about how to get out of here. ”
"Good!" After the team members heard Ren Cheng's words again, they all scattered on the platform and began to check the bronzes, there were not many things on the platform, and after a while, the team members had finished checking and said: "There are words on every bronze here, and they are all the words we use now, simplified characters." ”
When Ren Cheng heard it, he said: "Reincarnation is really a terrible thing. Then he looked at the space under the platform and said, "Let's talk about how we can get out of here?" ”
"Isn't there a natural cave behind this artificially excavated space? Can we get out there? One of the team members said.
Ren Cheng shook his head at this time and said: "The most terrifying place on the earth, in addition to the unfathomable seabed, there is also this kind of natural karst cave, our current equipment is mainly to meet the needs of combat, and there is no equipment used to detect the karst cave, once we go deep into it, we can't report the situation here, it will make our entire human race miss an opportunity, so I don't recommend going deep into the cave." ”
"Then what do you say, out of this space, there are things outside, even if they are those things, we can clear them, remember the situation when we came? The mountain road disappeared, and we couldn't go up to the top of the sinkhole. The captain said.
"If there is a way down, then there must be a way to go up, this is not a Huangquan Road, there is no return, but we need to look for it; Or why those insects don't feel that they have entered this hole, there is probably a reason, we might as well be the same; Look at what is the most special thing here, it should be the thing that the bugs are afraid of. Ren Cheng said.
"Alright, it seems that this is the only way to go; In my opinion, the only thing that is special here is this. After that, the captain pointed to the "source" in the box and said, "Let's try this thing?" ”
"Okay, let's try." Ren Cheng said, he took the lid that was originally on the box, picked it up, covered the box, and the team members climbed down along the rope that came up just now, after they went down to the artificial cave, Ren Cheng walked towards the cave with the box containing the "source", and when they came to the cave entrance, the insects outside saw them, so they all gathered towards the cave entrance, densely blocking the water around the hole; Just when everyone thought that the insects were not afraid of the insects, Ren Cheng opened the lid, and the light emitted from the box illuminated the entire cave mouth.
"It worked, it worked." The captain said, and then took the lead to walk outside the cave, after the insects outside the cave saw him, although they wanted to attack the captain, but they were afraid of the light of the source, they just looked at the captain standing outside the cave from a distance, and did not dare to approach.
"Come out, you're all right." The captain said, then loaded the gun in his hand and said, "Everyone spread out in an attack formation, protect the leader in the middle, let's go out." ”
After hearing his order, the team members quickly formed an attack formation, sandwiched Ren Cheng in the middle, and then walked towards the outside of the cave; When they came to the outside of the cave, they saw that the insects were far away, and every time they took a step forward, the insects took a step back.
"Team Leader, where do you think the way up should be?" The captain asked.
"Let's go down the cliff and find it, and we'll find it." Ren Cheng said, although this is an open pit, but the structure below it is really not something that a person like him who has read a few ancient books can understand, so everyone can only look for it along the cliff, but fortunately, those insects will not cause harm to them now.
