withering day

Entering Shangri-La along the golden avenue in front, everyone has to admire it, even though there is no one in the city except them, except for the tall and magnificent buildings, the ancient but full of vitality trees, and the gurgling water whose source is unknown Besides, there was no movement, no humans, no animals, not even insects. Even though the whole city was shrouded in peaceful light, Han Mo still felt an inexplicable strangeness.

Luo Zhan squatted down by the stream, took out an instrument from his backpack, took some stream water and dripped it into the instrument, and said to everyone after a few minutes: "The water here is fine, it can be drunk."

Looking in the direction of the source of the stream, you can only see overlapping towering buildings.The layout of the entire Shangri-La is high in the middle and low on the four sides, as if built against a mountain. The final towering white pagoda is the most eye-catching, and the source of this stream seems to be that high pagoda, straight without any twists and turns.

Luo Zhan said something to his team members, and then everyone saw that the scientific researcher took out many large and small parts from the backpack, and after skillfully combining them together, it turned out to be a drone.In their surprised eyes, the drone went up to the sky and began to take aerial photos of the whole Shangri-La.

"Look, the layout here is so strange!" Everyone gathered in front of a small electronic screen, receiving the footage from the drone in real time.

The layout of Shangri-La is really strange. The buildings spread out from the center and are neatly arranged from high to low. From the white tower in the center, eight streams spread downward, regardless of the width, length or length of the stream. In terms of water volume, there is almost no difference, and the areas of the eight areas divided by the eight streams are almost identical, and even the colors of the buildings are strangely similar.

The most interesting central white tower is about 200 meters high, but it is far from reaching the top of the underground space. Under the white tower is a magnificent palace, which is almost the same as the central palace of the two ruins seen before. , just visually the old and the new are different.The palaces of the first two relics have been eroded by the years, but this place is indeed brand new, with no traces left by the years.

There are eight doors opened in eight directions of the palace, and each door has a stream flowing down the terrain. It can be speculated that the source of the stream is in the center of the palace, or under the White Tower.

"There's something to eat!" Shen Mingxi shouted excitedly, pointing at the picture on the electronic screen.

The drone photographed an orchard in the area near the center. At this time, the orchard was already full of fruits. Each of the unknown varieties of fruits was as big as a fist, shining like the golden light in the sky.The people who were already so hungry almost drooled, wishing they could find that orchard and have a big meal right away!

The researchers took back the drone and simply drew a general plan of the entire Shangri-La based on the content of the aerial photography, including the orchard they were most concerned about.

"Let's go and fill our stomachs first." The scientific researcher who was studying the floor plan groaned, so he could only suggest with a smile.

Of course, no one would object to such a great proposal. Under the leadership of Luo Zhan, they moved towards the first goal.

The longer he stayed in Shangri-La, the more Han Mo felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. He looked back at the gate of Shangri-La, and he didn't know when it was completely closed without a sound. The Eye of Shangri-La seems to have lost its original luster and become dim.

Shui Hanjiang walked with Han Mo at the end, saw Han Mo's frown, and asked, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

Shaking his head, Han Mo sighed, and told the truth: "I didn't feel anything when I came in just now, but the longer I stayed here, the more weird I felt, but I couldn't tell what was wrong, it didn't seem dangerous, but it seemed It's not a good thing..."

"Sometimes I really feel that you... are unusual!" Shui Hanjiang didn't continue Han Mo's topic, but said something meaningful.

"Uh?"

Facing Han Mo's astonishment, Shui Hanjiang twitched his lips: "Having an intuition beyond ordinary people, do you think you are like an ordinary person? Maybe there is indeed some secret here waiting for you to discover."

"Perhaps..." Han Mo sighed, thinking so much is not the way to go, since he has already entered and the door has been closed, he can only stay safe when he comes.

Luo Zhan and the others numbered the eight areas separated by the eight streams from left to right according to the order of the first district and the second district. According to the arrangement of the same stone bridges on the streams, the city is organized from the inside to the outside. The outside is divided into three inner circles and three outer circles. The location of the orchard is within the three outer circles of the third area, that is, they are on the upper left of them.Go straight up from the Golden Avenue, cross the stone bridges of the outer circle and the second circle, and you will reach the third district and the third outer circle.

Most of the buildings in this area are mainly low-rise small-story buildings, the main color is cyan, and the style of the buildings is more chic and elegant. It doesn't look like a place where ordinary residents live.The orchard photographed by the drone is behind a three-story building, which looks like the back garden of a villa.

Entering the house, unlike the previous two ruins, the furniture here is very complete and very clean. It seems that it was cleaned not long ago. The only thing missing is anger.Walking through the house to the backyard, everyone finally saw the small orchard. There were more than ten fruit trees planted within a few hundred meters, and the trees were full of golden fruits.

"I don't know if this can be eaten..." Gu Changxi picked a fruit and frowned. He had never seen such a fruit in the outside world.

"Let me test it!" Luo Zhan started tinkering with a new instrument again.

Han Mo didn't ask them to stay together in the orchard. He went back to the house, went up to the third floor, and looked at the scenery of the three circles from top to bottom.It can be seen from the pictures taken by the drone before that, including the central area, the whole city can be divided into seven areas from the inside to the outside. Except for the tallest white tower in the center, there is a hint of red in the golden light. The circle is orange, and the inner two circles are yellow...these are the colors in it, which are the same as the colors in the light dispersion, very regular, even the order is the same, I don't know if it's a coincidence or the ancestors of the previous civilization deliberately did it.

But the most interesting thing is that the entire Shangri-La has not been left by the apocalypse disaster at all. All the buildings seem to be brand new, and it seems that even the years cannot leave their mark here.For him, this was unprecedented and unbelievable.

Three circles away is the high city wall of Shangri-La. What can be seen is that there is a magnificent city gate facing each area, and they are exactly the same, but they are all closed now. There is no such thing as Shangri-La. Eyes cannot be opened.And every stream seemed to flow out of the city, and disappeared inexplicably in the outermost area, that is, somewhere in the outer circle.

Sighing softly, Han Mo felt that he was thinking more and more. He hadn't stopped since he came to this mysterious underground space, but that weird feeling never really appeared. Not the dangerous aura, nor the collapse of the second ruins, not even the mysterious sense of serenity of Shangri-La, the inexplicable throbbing in the deepest part of his heart made him feel very bad, but he couldn't find it. Make him haggard.

"Little Mo! Continue!" Shen Mingxi's voice came from downstairs.

Han Mo stood on the balcony and looked down, just as he saw a golden fruit flying towards him, he reacted quickly and reached out to grab the fruit.

"It's been tested. These fruits are safe, non-toxic, and edible." Shen Mingxi took a big bite first, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Smiling, Han Mo really felt a little hungry. He wanted to wipe the fruit on his clothes, but his body was already black with all the climbing and rolling. In the end, he gave up this idea and stuffed it directly on the clothes. Take a bite in your mouth.A fragrance filled his mouth, and the rich sweetness was also soothing, as if eating such a fruit was the happiest thing in the world, and the hunger was instantly wiped away.

wrong!There seems to be something wrong!A few seconds later, Han Mo woke up from the ecstasy feeling, and his uneasiness became stronger.But when he looked at the people downstairs, he didn't find anything wrong. Those who had eaten the fruit were fine.

"What's wrong? What did you find again?" Shui Hanjiang's deep voice sounded behind Han Mo.

Han Mo's hand trembled, and he almost threw the fruit out. He gave Shui Hanjiang a blank look, but he didn't say anything.

Facing Han Mo's small emotions, Shui Hanjiang smiled helplessly, and changed the subject: "I didn't expect that there would be a computer here, but it's true, the technology of Yan civilization is much more advanced than ours..."

"Wait, what are you talking about? Computer?" Han Mo stared at Shui Hanjiang with wide eyes.

"Yes, look." Shui Hanjiang held a thin tablet in his hand, which was completely made of transparent materials. There were many contents displayed on the screen, including incomprehensible icons and text, but by comparing with modern computers, , I can probably guess that this is an operating system.

"Where did you find out?"

"It's in the house, it's just that you were all busy looking for food before, but you didn't find it..."

Han Mo was speechless. He shifted his gaze to the tablet computer. Through the transparent body, you can see the internal structure of the entire computer. Unlike the complexity of modern computers, this computer only has a screen and a chip. Something that totally doesn't see a line connected.All the text displayed on the computer they didn't understand, the two couldn't figure it out at all. They tried to find some video information, but they didn't know how to operate it at all.

"Let's show it to Luo Zhan and the others..." Han Mo said helplessly.

Shui Hanjiang took the tablet computer to find Luo Zhan and the others, but of course there was a burst of surprise calls.Han Mo did not follow, but searched the room upstairs carefully. Since things like computers can be found here, maybe other relevant clues can also be found.

In the three-story small building, the first floor is a large living room and kitchen, and there are no rooms, only the second and third floors have rooms, a total of five, including a study room, it can be guessed that the former owner of this house There are four people living in the family.The beds, tables, chairs and other furnishings in each room are also very complete, and even the clothes in the closet are still there, but it is precisely this that makes Han Mo gasp, as if there were people living here last second!So where have all these people gone?What happened to the legendary city of Shangri-La?

Han Mo, who was looking for clues in the last room on the third floor, suddenly saw a black spot behind the bookshelf, which was so conspicuous on the all-white wall.He moved the bookshelf with difficulty, and a strange black pattern appeared in his eyes.The lines in a circular circle are criss-crossed, and a lot of incomprehensible words are densely written outside the circle. These words are written in a counterclockwise direction. dizzy.

"What the hell?" Han Mo didn't dare to look directly at the pattern again.

Next, Han Mo went to other rooms again and removed the bookshelf, but he never found the same pattern again.Going back to that room again, he carefully observed the pattern, but every time he looked at it for too long, he would feel a strong sense of sleepiness, and he would spin around for a while.
