Chapter 522: There's Something on My Back
The small piles of stones are very interesting. I don’t know how many years they have been buried in the ground, but they are still very strong. Brother Yaozi smashed them a few times with a hammer, but they didn’t move. Then he used a drill to drive in through the gaps, and then smashed them with a hammer.
The steel drill was used to pry up a stone.
Something that looks very similar to solidified cement sticks to the stone. This is the cementitious material.
I picked up a broken piece of the steel drill and rubbed it in my hands. It looked like cement, but it was not cement. Simply looking at the texture, it was somewhat similar to the cementitious materials used by the ancient Egyptians. They obtained the cement by calcining gypsum.
This material was used in the pyramid, and it has survived for thousands of years.
The cementitious materials in front of you should be similar, but they feel rough to the touch. They are not just calcined gypsum, but other things are added to them. There must be sand. Judging from the color, there should be some volcanic ash in it. Such ingredients are
It is somewhat similar to the "Roman mortar" used by Westerners.
As far as I know, three-component mortar such as lime, volcanic ash, and sand was used in the West for a long time, and it was not eliminated until cement appeared.
Regardless of whether the previous owner of this site was an ancestor of the Yi people, at least the owner must have been highly civilized and not a savage. Such cementitious materials were considered very advanced in ancient times.
Wu Ye had obviously discovered this, and had already begun to stuff some of the smashed pieces into his backpack, in preparation for going out for further testing to detect the ingredients.
I thought about it and took some. Even if I didn't find the legendary jade, bringing these things to the man named Qian Guangqi was an explanation to Wei Donghuai.
"If you stick a green onion in a pig's nose, what kind of image can you pretend to be?"
Lao Bai held a hammer and taunted me, saying that the same movement can have two different tastes. Wu Ye looked like he was engaged in research, and I looked like a waste collector with the picky look.
I think this is purely prejudice.
Lao Bai didn't care. He threw the hammer in front of me to wake me up and came over to work. After that, he chose a shady place to sit down and rest. He glanced at the dense stone piles and gritted his teeth and said, "I said
Little Weizi, do we really have to dig up this whole place? These stone mosses are too strong and it will be very laborious!"
"It must be dug up!"
I picked up the hammer and went to help, and said at the same time: "This settlement looks quite big. There must have been many people there, and there will always be some traces left. Maybe we can know what happened back then. We will see that settlement soon."
Jinshan, you can’t be too careful. If you know more about the situation, our chances of survival will be higher!"
After saying this, I shrugged and said with a wry smile: "We have plenty of time anyway, so what are we afraid of? We are rich this time!"
The so-called luxury means that there will be no shortage of water or food.
Since getting rid of the land where stiff meat and the devil flower mantis reigned supreme, this inaccessible primitive jungle has shown us its richness. As early as three or four days ago, the dry food and drinking water we brought with us were exhausted, but we ran out of dry food and drinking water.
There is never a shortage of food and drink. If you put a mineral water bottle under the leaves, you can get most of the bottle of drinking water the next day. Two days ago, a stubborn big-antlered deer shook its big head and wanted to compete with Wushuang to see who was the best. Facts
Proving that no matter how iron the head is, it is not as strong as the blade. With a flick of the Mo Dao, the head was immediately dropped to the ground, squarely placed on the ground like a work of art, and each of us had more than a dozen strips of salted venison on his body.
We don’t have to drink urine in a bitter way, and we don’t have to grit our teeth to eat Guanyin soil. Compared with our previous encounters, this place is simply paradise. Except that our physical strength is a bit unable to keep up, it’s just that we are not used to it. After a long time, we will always feel better.
It will turn around. I dare say that as long as we don't go to some particularly dangerous places, we can survive here for at least half a year. Why waste time?
Lao Bai absolutely agrees with this. This guy is just lazy.
Amidst the shouting, large rocks were pried off, and a hole was gradually opened in the pile of rocks.
"Like a well!"
I took a look inside and smelled an unpleasant smell, like the dry ancient well we went up and down by the Yellow River.
Brother Yaozi turned on the flashlight and took a look inside, but he couldn't shine all the way to the end. The green plants blocked his sight, and there were actually several trees growing inside. The tree crowns were connected together, filling the entire space, and they were extremely dense.
"Look what that is!"
Brother Kitale shines the flashlight in one direction, and a cluster of small fruits is squeezed together like green apricots.
"This is... what those magic flower mantis spirits feed people!"
I recognized this little hallucinogenic fruit at a glance. I never thought it was growing here. After thinking about it for a while, I said, "Put down the rope. Who will go down with me?"
Needless to say, Wushuang had already stood up.
"I'll go with you."
Brother Yaozi is also a little interested.
"inappropriate!"
I thought about it and shook my head. If we say that the most capable ones among us are definitely Brother Yaozi and Wushuang. If we go all in at once, if something happens up there, we won't be able to cope with it.
"In this case, Wushuang and Professor Wu will accompany me on a hard trip!"
We brought Wu Ye with us because he knows this place very well. If there is something weird down there that we don't recognize, maybe he can tell something about it.
The decision was made, and Brother Yaozi didn't say any more and just let go of the rope.
I pulled up the rope, nodded to Brother Harrier and the others who were guarding the edge, and jumped down. The rope passed through my hands, and the friction was extremely hot. Then I crashed into the dense trees at a speed of
After a while, I tried to step on the horizontal branches with my feet. I found that they were too soft, like willow branches, and could not support the weight of my body. I had no choice but to give up, hooked the rope with my feet, and moved downwards little by little.
Immediately after, there were two more rustling sounds, and Wu Shuang and Wu Ye also came down.
These strange plants are really lush and leafy. I hold the flashlight in my mouth and look up but I can't see them. They are all blocked by the leaves, with almost no gaps!
"Brother Wei?"
Wu Ye's voice came from above. He was not very skilled. He probably almost didn't grab the rope when he jumped down. He was breathing heavily due to nervousness.
I responded.
Wu Ye then asked hesitantly: "Do you think... are there any kind of... zombies down here?"
"It seems that even science geeks are sometimes afraid!"
I couldn't help but laugh.
Wu Ye insists that he is not afraid of anything that can be explained by science, but things like zombies cannot be explained by science.
I said that I couldn’t explain it. There is a saying that the end of science is metaphysics. I couldn’t explain it just because the level was not high enough. I would be able to explain it one day. After Wu Ye relaxed a little, he comforted him: “But you don’t have to be afraid.
, even if there are dead people down here, there will be no more rigor mortis. Rigor mortis must have a certain chance of being formed when the brilliance of the full moon enters the body. This place has been sealed, and the brilliance of the full moon cannot shine down."
Of course I won't tell him that not all corpses need the beauty of the full moon.
While I was talking, I had already got out of the lush branches and leaves, and looked down. There was a shimmering light and reflection below. There should be a lot of accumulated water, maybe groundwater flowing up. This is normal.
As for the height, it’s only one or two meters at most!
Wu Ye didn't respond, but his breathing became heavier and heavier, which seemed particularly abrupt in this silent environment.
"Professor Wu?"
I shouted, but still no response.
My heart skipped a beat, and just as I was about to climb up the rope, Wu Ye spoke, his voice hoarse, even crying.
"I-there's something on my back!"
Wu Ye said tremblingly: "It, it hugged me...hiss!! And licked me!!"
My first reaction was that there was something unclean. After all, this was a residential area, and some kind of drastic changes had taken place. There was a high probability that there would be dead people in these places like houses. They were locked up in them, and the Yangzhai was made into a tomb for the dead.
, the final result is that there is a balance between life and death, the house is unlucky, dead people are making noise, and it is normal to have unclean things!
"Don't move!"
I looked down and saw that I was less than two meters away from the water at the moment. In other words, Wushuang was only about four or five meters away from the water!
This distance can’t help Wushuang!
