Chapter 127: Underground Space
Long~long~
On the dark underground, this terrifying sound, like a sign of the arrival of an earthquake, was spreading at an extremely fast speed.
The red lighting stick suddenly illuminated, with a slight squeak, illuminating the entire space. The faces of several people appeared one by one, and Olivi was among them.
The number of emergency rescue teams is about 15. Under the premise of receiving archaeological team members in the ruins, the underground rescue aircraft that can carry so many people is too large, and there may be difficulties in operating the interior and underground mountains that collapse again at any time. Therefore, it is divided into two batches in advance. As long as one of them can achieve the support target, the rescue mission will naturally be completed.
However, just over ten minutes ago, the underground rescue plane where Olivi was located encountered the source of the constant "rumble" sound in his ears. Even if it was not a head-on collision, but a few meters away, their route was still greatly affected. The result of being forced to turn around was that they still failed to avoid the monster's attack.
The hole collapsed and directly smashed some of the rescue aircraft equipment. Although it could continue to operate, if the monsters did not leave, if they were hit by a second impact, they would likely lose the opportunity to repair the rescue aircraft.
This has caused disagreement in the team. Some people hope to continue moving forward. As long as they rescue the archaeological team, even if only part of it is still a great achievement, they may be able to enter the association after a little operation.
Others choose to repair the current damage first. You should know that these high-end machines are naturally loaded with temporary repair tools. A considerable number of members of the two teams can operate. Even if they are not familiar with it, at least they will have no problem following the instructions. At most, they will just spend more time.
The idea of this group of people is also very simple. At least they have to make sure that they have room to evacuate when the situation is critical and not bet on their lives. After all, not every time they are lucky enough to pass by monsters!
The final decision was to raise hands to vote, and the result was that there were more people who supported the latter option.
This is normal. All the elites present in the Archaeological Association, and everyone wants a future, but the premise is that they will not block their lives.
And there is another reason that played some role in the vote, that is, when the underground rescue aircraft was transferred, it unexpectedly broke through an underground space, which was where they are now, which gave them enough space to repair the rescue aircraft.
"The signal has been completely blocked, which proves that the path we opened when we come in should be blocked."
Someone watched the signal on the mobile phone screen disappear, and he was analyzing it in his words, but his tone was a little depressed.
Their current location is nearly 100 meters deep in the mountains. Although everyone knows that the rescue plane is not completely scrapped, just like tourists walking on the glass plank road, even if the sign says that the glass will not break, they are still extremely worried about whether they will step on the air and become a "flying man in the air."
"Our rescue plane has real-time locations, and ground personnel can obtain our detailed location at any time. The disappearance of mobile phone signals does not affect anything, so there is no need to worry."
Suzi lowered her head and glanced at the "talk" chat room without any reply, and said to the people next to her without changing her face.
She didn't know when Zhu Jue could see her message, but she believed that as long as Zhu Jue saw it, she would definitely come, because the things in front of her proved that this underground ruin was absolutely extraordinary.
Carrying the high-power searchlight prepared in the rescue plane, while others were struggling with moving forward or backward, Olivi had already begun to explore the underground space, and found some interesting things and informed Zhu Jue first before the signal was cut off.
Yes, this underground void is not a natural cave, but a space dug up by man. Olivi can be seen from these stone tables in front of him that obviously have human furniture characteristics. However, what really attracted Olivi's attention was a utensil of a half-human-high utensil placed in the center of the entire void, made of some special material.
Its shape is somewhat like some porcelain, the bottle belly is ring-shaped and convex, and the degree is quite large, the neck mouth is slightly smaller, but there is a lid on the top...
If it is a jar that holds things, it is too big, but what else can this kind of thing be used for?
"Captain, I saw the remains of beds and some pots and bowls around. This should be a residence."
A member of her team was selected to the rescue team with Olivia, Joseph, who was not idle when the former began to explore the surroundings, so he looked around and went back to report in the other direction.
"Life place...what is this?"
Olivi half-squatted down and reached out to press his hand on the top of the strange-shaped thing in front of him, and his eyes stayed on the cirrus pattern around the bottleneck of the "can".
Judging from the location of the space, this should be the center of the entire room. What does it mean to place such an object in the center of the residence where you eat and sleep?
"Isn't this an alchemy furnace?"
After reporting, Joseph, who was staying next to him, looked at the vessel and spoke.
"What?"
Olivia didn't understand what he meant.
"Captain, the place you lived and the culture you came into contact with since childhood is different from ours. In my hometown, it is important to family inheritance, so some old things passed down from our scriptures. I have read some books left by my father, among which there is a story book... It seems to be called a travel notation. A picture inside is very similar to this thing. The book calls this type of utensils an alchemy furnace. It is said that it was a key item used by ancient alchemists to refine alchemy, in order to ascend on the ground... You should have heard of this?"
Although my memory of that story book was a little blurred in my mind, the story of a monkey refining a pair of perspective eyes in the alchemy furnace made him, who was in adolescence for a long time, so he was deeply impressed by this passage.
"Are you talking about the 'Tao' that ancient emperors pursued? I once had a conversation with a friend from Southeast Asian history. He said that the senior rulers here are very pursuing the things of becoming immortals, which are probably somewhat like the ancient monarchs on our side's pursuit of ascension to heaven... The slightly pathological thoughts derived from the fear of death of mortals. I remember what he told me at that time."
Turning the light in his hand on the alchemy furnace, Olivi said while thinking about the reason why this thing appeared here.
Those who originally lived here wanted to become immortals, so do they put it in the place where they eat and sleep?
Even people with a little common sense know that such critical items need to be specially placed in a place, right?
"I think this should be just a small model, not a real alchemy furnace. You can see that there are no signs of burning around it, and you can't smell any smell after opening the lid. This may be because of the long time, but the real alchemy furnace is definitely much larger than this. The place in front of you in ancient times is at most a place to place incense."
Compared to Olivia, Joseph obviously knew more about the alchemy furnace, and immediately came to the conclusion after checking it.
"You said this is a model, does that mean that there may be a real alchemy furnace nearby..."
Since the model has been created, the craftsmen who created it naturally have a great possibility to build a real alchemy furnace according to it.
Thinking of this, both of them were silent, and then they said in unison: "Relics!"
There is no doubt that the real important place here is among the underground ruins. The Archaeological Association is so nervous about the safety of the archaeological team that they urgently mobilized associations from all nearby areas to provide support as soon as they had an accident. When they arrived at the scene, they had to forcefully organize emergency rescue teams to rescue members of the archaeological team.
Now it seems that what they are anxious about may not be human life?
The so-called immortal pill will definitely not exist in Olivi's opinion, but other items are hard to say.
"Captain, before I came down, I accidentally heard the communication from the commander at the rescue site... It was really a coincidence. I just passed by and didn't mean to eavesdrop."
When things came to this point, Joseph was not ready to take some words as secrets in his heart. After explaining a little, he saw that Olivia's expression had not changed, and then continued,
"This time the teams supported are no longer limited to the teams of the branch field department. The association headquarters even sent members of the directly-level field force to arrive at the rescue site in the past two days. You should know what this means."
The Archaeological Association has branches in major supercities, but if it comes to its real headquarters, it naturally belongs to the original site of the first archaeological association, the archaeological association located in the supercity of New Rome on the Balkans.
Naturally, the members of the field force directly under the headquarters are not comparable to those of their branches. Rather than saying that they are the Field Department, this is the most powerful armed force of the Archaeological Association. It is said that these people are responsible for the investigation of extreme terrorist incidents that have occurred around the world in the past five years. Even Olivi, who is still in a position within the association, has never seen them.
I have never seen these people here before, but they have never seen them in the video data within the association!
Now it is urgently dispatched because of the archaeological team in this ruins, and it is still in front of so many people.
Chapter completed!
