real world.

When Su Yun opened his eyes again, there was a humming sound in his ears, and the outlines of the surrounding things could be vaguely seen in the darkness.

He took the local train with the team organized by the school, and this time the team's goal was an ancient ruin on another continent.

It seemed that Anita's nostalgic kiss still remained on the eyelids. Su Yun rubbed his eyes gently, and twisted his neck that was a little stiff due to the uncomfortable sleeping position.

Anita...the combination of snake and human body, half decayed and half intact.

Does Anita care so much about her prototype?

Su Yun couldn't help laughing when he thought about it, and at this moment, the train left the tunnel.

With a long whistle, soft light poured in from the front, gradually lighting up the semi-enclosed space, it is the glow of the rising sun, it endows all things with the most beautiful qualities in the name of morning, it seems to be able to transform everything The plating is bright, and even the staleness of the carriages has become the poetic and picturesque flavor of the years.

Su Yun straightened up slowly, unscrewed the kettle and took a sip, the water in the kettle was still warm, and on the opposite side of the table separated from him, two young girls leaned together, sleeping unconsciously .

The train passing through the tunnel vibrated regularly. Su Yun put down the water glass, got up slowly, and moved his numb limbs.

"You woke up early, it's only six o'clock in the morning." An energetic voice came from behind, "How did you sleep last night?"

Su Yun turned around, lowered his eyes and smiled: "Senior, you are too early."

Dr. Wang specially changed Su Yun's medical history. His current information has a record of mild autism. Therefore, even if Su Yun never meets other people's eyes, he rarely participates in the discussion. Enough understanding and tolerance.

The person who came was his senior, Wu Juan, who also served as the old professor's teaching assistant.

There are a total of eight people participating in the archaeology this time, two middle-aged and elderly professors, and six fresh-blooded students. They are sitting in a row of two on this old train. The person sitting next to Su Yun is this person. Senior.

The two girls sitting opposite Su Yun were the only girls in this event. Qian Ting, who was about to graduate, was also a teaching assistant, and Zheng Yuting, who was only a sophomore, was also a student who applied for the event just like Su Yun.

After all, this is on a train in a foreign country, and the four men

The students agreed to keep vigil separately, last night it was Su Yun's turn in the first half of the night, and Wu Juan in the second half of the night.

Wu Juan went to his seat and sat down, and put the kettle in his hand by the window. At this time, the table was full of snacks and books in a mess. He pushed aside a few books and smiled softly at the girl opposite: "The two of them I slept so soundly... I went to the dining car to get some hot water, and you will share it later."

"There is still hot water in the kettle." Su Yun responded, reaching out to help Wu Juan clean up the table.

Wu Juan is very healthy: "Don't drink the water overnight... "Eve's Seven Daughters"? You are watching this, is it good?"

"This is Zheng Yuting's." Su Yun stacked up all the books, carefully pulled out the bookmark a little and put it on the upper left side, "This seems to be a popular science book on anthropology."

Wu Juan waved his hand indifferently: "Popular science anthropology? I still have enthusiasm for elementary school girls. I have learned enough professional courses, and we should arrive at our destination in three hours."

"...There are still three hours." Zheng Yuting yawned as the girls on the opposite side woke up one after another, "Thank you Su Yun, just put the book here... Can we take a rest when we get there?"

"That can't be done." Qian Ting tied her hair neatly. "After getting off the train, we have to go to the local off-road. It will take about four hours to drive. If you get motion sickness, don't eat."

Zheng Yuting made a weak voice: "Really, really..."

"Drink less water, too." The senior sister looked at her juniors affectionately, "The whole journey is in the wilderness, and there is no transfer station. We encourage you to solve it on the spot—so remember to go to the toilet before getting on the bus."

The companions sitting next to each other also woke up one after another. The chattering of young people quickly filled the empty carriage. The two professors also washed their faces and returned to their usual hale and hearty appearance.

This time their destination is not a prosperous area, even villages and settlements are rare, and they have no tourist value. If the sudden news of the ruins did not shock the entire archaeological circle, this place might not even be able to rent a car. Unable to hire.

What's worse is that the destination is surrounded by the barren Gobi Desert, which is not rich in various resources. There is no problem with water supply for drinking, but it is quite tense for bathing.

The off-road vehicle soared through the sand, shook coquettishly on the dunes, and finally landed in front of the temporary camp.

This camp is composed of colorful simple houses and tents, and the shadow of the helicopter can be seen in the distance, even though it is already four o'clock in the afternoon

, but the scorching sun still burns everyone who walks under the sun.

The car door opened, and the first to get out were the two professors, who successfully met up with the people who came to pick them up.

The students who got out of the car next were staggering students. As soon as they left the cramped and stuffy small space, they had to adapt to the dizzying bright light and high heat.

The students with motion sickness were all stumbling around. Wu Juan tried to pour salt water into each student, while Qian Ting poured Huoxiangzhengqi water into the kettle.

Su Yun was very lucky that he didn't feel any discomfort. He sat in the center of the carriage, and he could stand upright even when he got off the carriage, giving a solid support to the stunned students around him.

But regardless of Su Yun's condition, the senior sister filled the water bottle for him with concern.

"Students, go this way!" The guide held up a small horn, "Students who suffer from motion sickness, overcome it! We will settle down immediately, and we will have dinner soon!"

The two professors are obviously used to going up and down the mountain, and their condition is much better than that of a group of young students. Not only can they carry their own luggage, but they can also carry all the instruments with them.

The group arrived crookedly at the place where they were going to live next. The four boys got together with the professor, and the two girls got roommates from other colleges.

By the time everyone had packed their luggage and settled down, the sky outside had completely darkened.

The night of this place is in stark contrast to its day, which is extremely hot during the day, but cold at night, and once the sun goes down, it seems to take away all the light and heat.

Su Yun put on a warm jacket over the long sleeves. There is a limit on the weight of each person's luggage, and necessities such as warm clothes account for four-fifths of the weight.

There is a uniform supply of food, and the students are not allowed to move around freely after dinner, and their professors have to give them extra lessons.

This time, the ruins they are going to explore are very magnificent, and it can be called an unprecedented large-scale project. When it was discovered the year before last, it shocked the entire archaeological world. Its scope is very large, and no one has been able to determine the true boundary of the ruins city until now.

It stands to reason that this ancient city undoubtedly came from a powerful civilization, but the area to which this place belongs has not left any relevant records in history.

"...This area is severely weathered, the climate is very hot, and it occupies a vast area. You see—" the older Professor Bai gestured on the map, "The relics this time are surprisingly large, and the scope has not yet been demarcated. , we suspect that a large amount of data will be stored in the cemetery, and now

Workers gathered in this area cover five countries. "

Another thanked Professor Qi added: "Although the security work has already established a basic structure, and there are many research groups from universities, this place is a foreign country after all, and our camps are distributed by our country to various institutions. If you act without authorization, it’s best to follow the big team, and remember to tell us wherever you go, don’t leave alone.”

Professor Bai put down his pen after marking the area of ​​the cemetery, and said solemnly to the young children in front of him: "After a year of hard work by professionals from all over the world, the gate of the cemetery has finally been opened. The next main goal is to determine the identity of the owner of the cemetery. The tomb here is very intact, we are not sure if there are traps and poisonous gas in the tomb, tomorrow you should fight outside and don't enter the cordon!"

The students nodded excitedly and excitedly. Although they said that their identities this time must be thugs, how exciting it is to witness the discovery of a mysterious civilization with their own eyes!

Professor Bai understood the thoughts of these young children, and then he said softly: "Don't worry, we will stay here for two months, we will get the first-hand information about the excavation of the tomb first, and there are more scholars participating this time. , maybe you can also have a chance to go down and take a look."

After encouraging the students, the professors began to emphasize once again what needs to be paid attention to.

Su Yun was very clear about these regulations. He looked at the map on the desktop. Although there were only contour lines marked on the plane, the inexplicable trend gave him an illusion of deja vu.

Has he been to similar areas?I think should not be?

The busy excavation started on the second day after the students arrived. As the professors said, the area of ​​this relic is very large, and all kinds of people are in a hurry, and the sound of blasting can even be faintly heard in the distance.

The difficult environment gave the students a bad start. Even though they have done a good job of sun protection, the scorching sun seems to penetrate everything, and even the thickest defense seems weak.

Su Yun half-squatted in the pit and used a brush to clean the lines of the ancient floor tiles. Compared with his classmates who had already suffered from heatstroke and were taken away, he is now in much better condition. Not only is his mind still fresh, but his breathing and heart rate are also very stable. , the scorching temperature didn't even make him sweat too much, which even surprised Su Yun himself.

At this moment, Qian Ting walked towards Su Yun's pit from a distance with a toolbox in his hands: "Xiao Su! What do you think? Go down and rest for a while!"

Su Yun got up and propped himself out of the deep pit: "I'm in good condition, but where is my classmate with heat stroke?"

"They're doing well." Qian Ting wrapped her face tightly with a silk scarf, but even so her excitement was very obvious, "You know what! The tomb door over there in the cemetery has been opened—guess what! It's not a tomb below , below is the entrance to the underground palace!!"

underground palace?

Su Yun was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously recalled Anita's underground palace.

The same is the underground palace, what will the underground palace in the ruins look like this time?
