Doomsday Yuan

Suppressing the feeling of dizziness, Yue Zheng reluctantly crawled to Xu Song's side, sniffing for breath, he was still alive.Patting his face...no movement, it seems that he won't wake up for a while.

Looking down at the bottomless hole, Yue Zheng frowned and thought - when the explosion occurred, the two ancient corpses and the six sons should be on the top floor.The rest should all be in the third layer, or deeper.

Judging from the reactions of the three corpses, if the body is too damaged, these things will lose their ability to move.In this way, even if the group of people closest to the explosion center can become a monster, their mobility will be greatly reduced.

Yue Zheng felt a little heavy in his heart, took a sip of water from his backpack, and slowly recovered his strength.What happened this time is really weird, not to mention that the tomb robbers can steal a big hole, and the dead can turn into zombies...

No, these things are not the same as the zombies in movies and games, not to mention the skin color, it is too dark to see clearly, but the movements are not comparable to those slow, stiff, and dull things, let alone It is said that even limbs can be attacked in a way that violates the natural rules of the human body.

If there was a problem with this tomb, then the two ancient corpses that the tomb robbers encountered when they opened the ancient tomb should have attacked everyone. appeared.In this way, this incident must have something to do with the explosion and the third layer of caves!

If this situation only affects the bodies of these three people, it's okay to say, just be afraid, what if something leaks out and affects the surroundings? !

He hesitated and tangled in his heart. If he went down by himself, something would really affect the human body, then he... But the pit is so big, if it is poisonous and has side effects, and the two of them are so close to the pit, I am afraid that something has gone wrong up!

Suddenly, he remembered the inexplicable wound on the back of the female corpse after he waved his hand, and the corpse that suddenly burned.

Involuntarily looking at Xu Song, who was still in a coma, the fire was stronger than the flamethrower. Was the corpse spontaneously combusting?Or...he made it?

Rationality made Yue Zheng more inclined to the spontaneous combustion of corpses—this kind of conjecture that can barely be sidelined to natural science, but subconsciously, he always felt that the fire might be caused by Xu Song.

How could an ordinary person who had no other weapons except a dagger burst into flames suddenly?If he really had this kind of superpower, he would have used it to escape when he was caught by the tomb robbers before.

However, are there still few abnormal things after today's explosion?Corpses will transform into dead bodies, and he can slash "sword energy" in the air. Therefore, it seems that Xu Song's sudden fire breathing is not unacceptable.

Sighing, Yue Zheng rubbed the sun with some headaches, he might as well wait until dawn, otherwise Xu Song would still be in a coma, since he had saved his life, at least he didn't want him to be killed by something again right away.And after dawn, the situation at the bottom of the pit may be directly visible. With such a big explosion, maybe the nearby villages and county towns will send people to check the situation. By daytime, my colleagues should be able to go up the mountain...

It was a dark night's sleep.

Xu Song felt a headache for a while in his dream, and felt the needle-like feeling come back for a while, and felt a warm feeling coming from the pocket of his trousers, which slowly permeated his whole body, relieving his pain.

The glare of the sun shone on his face, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a blue sky and mottled rocky cliffs.

Hearing footsteps beside him, Xu Song slowly turned his head. This man looks familiar... Ah, by the way, he is Yue Zheng.

"Are you awake?" Yue Zheng also fell asleep in the middle of the night, only waking up an hour earlier than Xu Song.I played too hard last night, and when I fell asleep, my whole body was sore and my head hurt. Fortunately, there was a reassuring warmth flowing into my chest, otherwise I don’t know how many times I would wake up in one night.

"Brother Yue..." Xu Song was taken aback by his hoarse voice.

"Here." Yue Zheng was similar to him when he woke up, his throat was so dry that it seemed to be smoking, as if he had a bad cold.

Xu Song propped himself up on the ground and sat up, seeing several dilapidated corpses not far away, his expression changed involuntarily, and he quickly turned his head in another direction.

"This... this is that big hole?!" Holding water in one hand, Xu Song asked in shock, pointing to the hole not far behind him before he could drink it.

"Yeah." Yue Zheng nodded silently, and waited for Xu Song to drink some water before saying, "I woke up earlier than you, and I've already gone down."

"Is there... that one down there?" Xu Song looked at the corpses over there again in fear. He remembered that when Yue Zheng fought those monsters last night, their corpses and limbs were scattered everywhere. However, they were all moved to the corner. It is estimated that Yue Zheng has already cleaned up.

"No, I didn't even see anyone." There were only shapeless limbs and broken mud.After a short silence, he said again, "But I found this." As he spoke, he took out a black slate from his backpack.

"Where did you find this thing?" Xu Song took it curiously. This stone slab is not big, about the size of a sixteen-moment book, but it is densely packed with many words engraved in strange ancient characters. .

There are characters on the front, and some patterns are engraved on the back. It seems to be a round object with a support underneath. A group of people raised their hands and celebrated around.

"Right in front of that thing."

Following the direction Yue Zheng pointed, Xu Song looked down again.About 30 meters below, there is a huge, artificially excavated space, which must be the place where the tomb robbers discovered before.

And there was a stone platform in the middle of the pit. There should have been something on the platform, but at this time, only some scattered and shiny wreckage could be seen, small and bright, reflecting the sun and emitting dazzling light.

"Those... Could it be..." Those shiny things looked familiar, Xu Song hurriedly fumbled for his trouser pocket.

"Well, it's that thing." Yue Zheng spread out his palm, and there were a few shiny pieces in his palm.

Xu Song picked up a piece, which was transparent, like glass, but much brighter and heavier than glass.He took out the piece from his own body yesterday from his trouser pocket. Sure enough, except for some differences in shape and size, the texture and color were exactly the same, as if they were from the same thing.

"...Wait, could these glass-like things be round in the first place?"

"Why?" Yue Zheng was puzzled.

"Look at this!" Xu Song didn't know why his mind felt extra sober, turned over the slate with one hand, pointed to the picture on it, and said, "Look at this, if the table below is a round , Huge glass ball, isn’t it the same as the one in this picture?” After speaking, he suddenly asked, “How many pieces did you pick up? Show me all of them.”

Although puzzled, Yue Zheng still took out a few more pieces from his bag: "I just took some samples, and I'm going to take them back to City Y to find the inspection department to see what they are."

Xu Song hurriedly took the few glass stones and compared them repeatedly.

Seeing his seriousness, Yue Zheng felt uncomfortable to interrupt him, so he just waited silently.

"The ball should be hollow and glowing... at least glowing."

"Ah? Luminous? Hollow." Yue Zheng was stunned for a moment, he felt that he seemed to be unable to keep up with the child's leaping thinking, but it looked like he was not much older than him, why is he so old?

"Look at these pieces, there are two sides of these pieces that are very smooth and have a slight smooth arc. If you guessed correctly, the smooth sides should be the inner and outer sides of the sphere.

"Looking at this picture again, the patterns around the sphere should refer to light. There may be something in the sphere that is transparent and has a luminous effect... It's a pity that we went down too late. Yesterday's group of tomb robbers You should have seen the original appearance of the thing. If this sphere really has a luminous effect, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a treasure.

"Of course, even if it doesn't emit light, this transparent crystal looks like gems, diamonds, and the like. They might want to smash it and take it out, but after destroying the sphere, there was a big explosion..."

Although it sounded unbelievable at first, Yue Zheng felt that what he said should be similar to the truth.The conclusion he had speculated before was similar to what he had imagined, but he didn't notice that the stone platform in the painting might be the one below.But no matter what is on the stone platform, it is probably something that can tempt the tomb robbers. They want to take it away, but they can't carry it, so it will cause a big explosion after the destruction, and blow up their lives together.

Xu Song's brain was wide open, and he imagined it very happily. He held the stone slab in his hand and looked over it over and over again. He couldn't find any information in the painting on the back, so he studied the text on the front again.

"These characters look more like ancient Chinese oracle bone inscriptions... Anyway, they are very different from common traditional and simplified characters. Unfortunately, I haven't learned it, and I can't recognize it..."

"Do you remember the fire last night?"

Yue Zheng spoke suddenly, which made Zhao Song stunned for a moment, and looked up at him in doubt: "Fire?"

Seeing that there seemed to be no falsehood in his eyes, Yue Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that at least the fire was not some superpower he had long ago, and explained: "Do you still remember the last female corpse last night? The one that rushed towards you , and then suddenly a burst of fire broke out and burned it." It was directly burned to slag, how high is the temperature of the fire?

The scene last night was so impressive. Xu Song subconsciously ignored that part of the terrifying scene after a night of rest, but now that Yue Zheng mentioned it, the blue-white and ferocious The shriveled face reappeared in Xu Song's mind.

Swallowing his saliva reluctantly, Xu Song closed his eyes, opened them again, stretched out his right hand, and silently looked at his palm.

Yue Zheng vaguely understood in his heart that his situation might be the same as his own...

"I, I don't know..." For the fear of yesterday's explosion, the fear of the body's mutation, and now, coupled with the unknown fear of some changes in himself, Zhao Song wondered whether he should tell Yue Zheng clearly.

He has saved himself several times, and the two of them have experienced a common adversity, but this kind of thing is no better than encountering a dead body—even if it is said, those who have heard it will believe it, and if they don’t believe it, they will not believe it , if the relevant departments need to keep it secret, they just need to keep their mouths shut.

But that ball of fire, if you really made it yourself...

Xu Song's mind suddenly popped up "human body anatomy, white mice, detention experiments" and other futures that make people feel bleak just thinking about it.

A hand stretched out in front of Xu Song, holding a piece of gravel on it.
