Chapter 6: The Origin of the Bug
Thank you for the tipping of the icebreaker brothers......
The people who heard these words near "poof...... almost choked to death by their own breath.
There is no light at all in this black-lit mine. Even with night vision devices, they can only see the general outline of the mine.
Like Ding Li, who didn't bring anything with him, and was able to see the paintings on the wall clearly, it was almost a fantasy. Some people almost thought that Ding Li was playing tricks!
"Whoa......
Captain Simmons finally couldn't help it, just as Ding Li said, there was no discovery in the mine at all, let alone any danger.
He turned on the flashlight, and the snow light shone on the wall, and sure enough, he found a mural on it. The petroglyphs are so old that when Captain Simmons saw them, he remembered the art of the ancient Indians he had seen when he was at the Metropolitan Museum, abstract and exaggerated.
"How can there be Indian petroglyphs in this cave?" the two professors seemed to recognize.
Adonis quickly observed the rocks around him, and even took a sample and examined it in the equipment he was carrying.
"Look, the marks of the excavation here are markedly different. Professor Adonis analyzed: "This section seems to be a natural cave...... It seems that the silver mine has penetrated into the natural cavern......"
After listening to Professor Adonis's analysis, they quickly looked around with their flashlights, and sure enough, they found that the walls of the cave were different. It doesn't look like a hewn pit anymore.
Ding Li was attracted by the content of the petroglyphs, which were exaggerated and weird. As Picasso said, he drew inspiration from American art and ancient Chinese art to create abstract paintings.
The portraits in front of me are also abstract and grotesque enough, completely out of proportion. The average person can't understand what is drawn on it.
Although Ding Li didn't have that kind of appreciation, he didn't know what Lu Dao was for, he looked at those petroglyphs calmly, and felt that those pictures came to life.
An ancient Indian tribe, with only the old and weak women and children left, came here as if they had fled. And the presence of young fighters is rarely seen, and even if there is, they are all wounded.
The entire tribe can almost be said to have run out of food, and they have come to this desolate place, and there is not even enough food to eat. It is almost on the verge of extinction.
They cursed their ancestors and gods that all white people would die, and they wanted to take revenge on killing all white people like demons.
Then they began to carry out sacrifices in this stone cave, pouring the blood of men, women, and children on some of the eggs that were mottled like stones.
They sang and danced around the stone eggs, and the bonfires were shaking, but they were filled with an infinite and tragic atmosphere. One by one, they died generously, so that the bonfire was hidden on the stone wall, and blood was constantly splashed.
In the end, however, the eggs did not hatch, and the last part of the Indians had to leave the place with sadness and disappointment, and move to a place where they could settle down. And those stone eggs are also left here!
In an instant, Ding Li came to his senses. I even felt a cold sweat. It was as if he had just gone through such despair, sorrow, and pain with those Indians......
Someone noticed that something was wrong with Ding Li, his face turned pale, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead. I couldn't help but look around vigilantly, and after a while, I found that there was nothing wrong around, so I shouted, "Mr. Ding, how are you?"
At this time, Ding Li came back to his senses, kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, and said with a complicated expression: "It's nothing, I'm just scared!"
"Scared, frightened by what?" Several people's eyes focused on this petroglyph, could they be frightened by these children's graffiti-like petroglyphs?
Ding Li pointed to the petroglyphs and said, "The origin of those insects is painted on it!"
Several people looked up there, but nothing could be seen under the extremely abstract lines.
"It's a bunch of Indians who brought the eggs of those bugs here. And they are still performing sacrifices here, praying for the eggs to hatch!" Ding Li said in a voice that seemed like a dream.
"Take a picture of these murals and send them back immediately!" Captain Simmons ordered.
There were a couple of soldiers, using a very stupid digital video camera, and they started filming.
It was not until 95 years that the first digital video camera was born in 1998. Now there is not even a hair, but it is clear that the military has used it behind the scenes.
Although it is stupid and ugly, it has appeared on the market for at least nearly a decade before it was on the market. It is no wonder that it is often said that the technology used by the military is twenty years more advanced than that used by civilian use.
And more importantly, this thing can be directly connected to the Internet, and in this desolate place where there is no base station at all, satellite data transmission can be carried out directly. It seems that the scientific and technological strength of this rice army is still strong!
It didn't take long for some order to be issued. The military of any country is full of talents, especially the rich and wealthy United States. There is no difficulty in deciphering these primitive petroglyphs.
They quickly searched for the petroglyphs everywhere, and even paid attention to some traces of the life of the ancient Indians.
However, hundreds of years have passed. This is again opened by a mine. To find any other traces is almost a fantasy.
But at this time, fierce gunfire rang out outside. Captain Simmons' face changed slightly, and he shouted, "The voice is coming from the helicopter, quick, we have to rush back to help!"
Almost before they had rushed out of the mine, they heard the soldiers who remained at the entrance of the mine also start firing, and the gunfire rang out in one piece, hardly stopping, just listening to the sound, you can know how many enemies are coming.
"Ah......h Simmons' face changed color, and he vaguely felt uneasy.
There were only two soldiers left at the entrance of the cave, one of whom was already unfortunate, and the other should not be able to hold out either. If the hole is sealed, it will be bad.
Almost at the same time, another scream was heard. The gunfire at the entrance of the cave stopped completely.
It's a pity that the mine is complicated, and it is not so simple to rush out of the cave immediately.
"Boom ......" There was an earth-shattering loud bang at the entrance of the cave, and the rubble fell down with a clatter.
Ding Wei secretly screamed that it was not good, don't let the hole be sealed. He quickly dispatched the Yellow Ghosts, who didn't care about the terrain that crisscrossed the mine, and in the blink of an eye, they were at the entrance of the cave.
