Chapter 498: Standby Time
The content of the stone diary is recorded according to the day, but the time unit above and the ones used by humans are different from those used by our tribe. It is about ten days and a week, and forty days is one month. The diary does not mention minutes and seconds, so we don’t know how she calculates more precise times for the time being.
This woman named Ujifalla was studying an ancient underground building. The elderly expert group brought by Chen Qinghan had seen those stone slabs. Based on their experience, these stone slabs were at least over 100,000 years old. If you want more accurate numbers, you have to use instruments to detect them.
This general number does not prevent us from analyzing an interesting thing. The era in which the stone slabs were later than that in the Golden City and earlier than the Tangyuan Tomb.
The throne man, Oh, his name is very long, with a full name of more than 400 words, saying that it is the custom of their clan, and he will use the "name" of the 18th generation of ancestors as a prefix and add his own.
His own name is just two words, Yunhai, which means translated into Chinese. When I heard this, an emoticon flashed through my mind. This fish pond was contracted by us...
Mr. Yunhai slept between the Dajing and Tangyuan tomb. He knew about Ailan and the demons, but he didn't know that there were a group of people studying Dajing. This was so interesting.
According to the diary, it was a project, and it was not only Ms. Ujifalla, but she was leading a team to do research.
In her diary, she mentioned the camp and the well dug, and she didn't say much about it because she hardly cared about anything that had nothing to do with the ancient well.
Her race believes that unknown forces are hidden deep in the earth, so their country takes pride in 'geological exploration', whether it is state-owned or private, there are no less than hundreds of specialized in burying the ground.
Others have individuals who work at their own expense, and their total population is only 80,000. A country with only 80,000 people has formed more than 100 drilling organizations, which shows how deep their love for the underground world and their persistence in pursuing unknown forces.
Ujifalla mentioned her country and said that she hoped to contribute to 80,000 compatriots and must find out the secrets of unknown forces, and expressed her determination in her diary.
Of course there are difficulties. She was attacked by underground creatures, including those octopus pigs, which gave her the most headache. Every time the octopus pig appeared, she would lose the team members.
The conditions here are harsh, there is no combustible fire to keep warm, and food is also a problem. The small creatures always act collectively, and it is almost impossible for her to catch the lonely living creatures.
Once they act collectively, it is hard to say who the ‘food’ is, and the position of both parties in the food chain will be reversed.
But Ujifalla's determination is unmatched. She endured hunger and froze, exploring the space underground little by little, and every next floor, there were new discoveries.
The layer she wrote should be calculated at a fixed distance, such as one hundred meters as one layer, but we don’t know whether the calculation unit she used is one hundred meters or one thousand meters.
However, according to the depth of the well, the distance of one hundred meters is too short. If the big well is really close to the center of the earth, it will be considered short by kilometers.
Ms. Ujifalla was obsessed with underground flux, and the people who walked with her retreated to the third floor. They experienced something incredible, which made them fear the Da Well.
The team members who were traveling with them wanted to give up this exploration, but only Ms. Wuji opposed it. The diary said that she had a fierce argument with her teammates, and finally parted in a bad mood. They left her and left her alone in the underground world.
The stone slabs we got were quite daily, and there was no sentence that mentioned the actual information. Chen Qinghan sorted out the dates and found that some dates were not next to each other.
If this is not a diary, it is an essay, it is normal that the date is not next to each other, but when we found it, there were several empty boxes around, so Chen Qinghan suspected that someone had seen these stone slabs and picked out valuable content, leaving only a box of irrelevant content to throw it into a box.
Chen Qinghan truthfully reported the situation of the big well to his superiors. He was not sure how deep the well was, and it was strange. There was also a red light warning. No matter what was inside, it was extremely dangerous and he was not ready to take risks.
When Milky Way heard us say there was a voice in the well, calling me and Chen Qinghan's name, and that thing could control the power of the five elements, he pulled me aside and asked quietly: "Is it Ailan?"
"It doesn't sound like it." I tell the truth.
"Is there any other way out?" she asked again.
"I didn't see... Oh, there is an underground river." The underground river is well connected, connecting the entire underground space, and maybe there will be a "channel" that flows out of the bottom of the mountain.
Most people are floating in the underground river. They either freeze to death or are exhausted or starve to death or are broken by rapids and dark stones because they don’t know how far or how long it will take to float, which is basically equivalent to buying a lottery ticket. Being able to float out means winning the first prize.
Ailan is not that easy to die, so as long as she can flow out, it will be fine for her to spend a hundred or eighty years.
Galaxy nodded, as if relieved. I asked her what she was worried about. She looked around and lowered her voice and said, "She would better not get the power from the underground."
Pursuing power was once the biggest "hobby" of our tribe. Just like Ms. Wuji is keen on burrowing the ground, our tribe has a wider range of exploration, and the main exploration area is its own ancestral tomb.
Wu Ji was vague about the power of the center of the earth in his diary, or someone took away a detailed introduction, leaving us with a bunch of useless information.
Anyway, if we want to figure out what is in the well, we can only go down and see it ourselves.
Those who participate in field missions will not underestimate these buildings hidden deep underground, and think they are just some buildings and can go in and explore them at will.
They are very aware of the possible dangers in buildings, and often these dangers are something they have never encountered before. They will gain insights once they have a task.
Chen Qinghan wanted to know what Ailan was pursuing. He thought Ailan might have gone down and was not clear about it. However, he judged from my description of Ailan that a person who is strong, has a spirit of resistance and is full of desire for power will definitely not have much fear and awe after seeing Dajing.
No matter what is below, she might go down and take a look. The red light is a warning, and it is like a signpost. Alan is likely to be attracted by it like us and walk over to see what it is.
All this is based on the assumption that Ailan is not dead and has passed through the cave. We did not see her bones in the cave, and of course it is unlikely that she and I are both patients with dysfunction.
She hadn't died of toxins, and she would definitely be able to walk out of that cave. The octopus pig was not her opponent.
Now Chen Qinghan has withdrawn the team to the village. The villagers are very enthusiastic about us and treat us as much as possible. However, the village is obviously not rich. When the logistics colleagues come to the city to purchase, they will buy more food and use the villagers' kitchen to cook. After they are ready, they will invite them to eat together, which can be regarded as helping them improve the food.
We rented houses from several families, and the equipment was piled up with two yards. Baozi liked the children in the village very much and said that their eyes were pure, like a lake on a snow-capped mountain.
I am not as literary as hers. When I was on standby, I sat in the yard and looked at my phone. Zheng Jie had asked me several times, but it was fine, but she just chatted with me.
But every time she chats, she will talk about the tomb of the girl. I didn’t care about it once or twice. As I talked too many times, I couldn’t help but wonder whether she was hinting at me.
Zheng Jie always talks endlessly when she mentions the tomb of the Heavenly Girls, as if she has endless words to say. She seems to yearn for the life of the Heavenly Girls, saying that they are the darlings of God.
I was hilarious on my face and hilarious on my heart. The Blood Mother can only be regarded as a naughty child from God. If we judged by the current standards, our clan has never done anything good, and all the evil people will definitely be.
Baozi told me that Zheng Jie's leg was a prosthetic limb. She had a car accident when she was a child and had an intercepted one of her legs. However, she was determined to refuse to accept her fate and refused to admit defeat. She studied hard and trained hard. Later, she entered our unit. Although she could not take particularly dangerous tasks, there was no problem with general field archaeology.
I found an opportunity to secretly Chen Qinghan, did Zheng Jie suspect me? Why did she always tell me what the Tiannu tribe is like?
Chen Qinghan said I was thinking too much. Zheng Jie just likes strong women. I am more famous in the company. Zheng Jie has long wanted to know me, but she didn’t have a chance until this time.
The Tiannu tribe is a powerful all-female race, and Zheng Jie yearns to be a member of them.
I was stunned for a moment before I realized that the adjectives that Chen Qinghan said were describing my tribe. Because there was no sense of reality, I couldn't control myself thinking about the words "hair salon, housekeeping, grain and oil, and pet raising" and they had nothing to do with strength.
But now is not the time to break Zheng Jie's dream, so let her continue to fantasize about us as a powerful race.
We were on standby in the village for seven days. I watched two TV series, three movies and one anime, and I started playing stand-alone mini-games in my spare time.
During this period, Baozi forced me to play games with the children. I won eight games in a row, and I burst into tears. Baozi drove me away.
Chen Qinghan and several elderly experts discussed the stone slabs, houses and big wells all day long. They were afraid that others would hear them, so they stayed in the cottage for meetings and whispered. I couldn't hear what they were saying even when I sat on the threshold.
Scholars are always keen on discussion, but discussion is also exhausting. On the fifth day of waiting, two old scholars fell ill and were sent to the urban hospital by their logistics colleagues.
Both of them are old men, and there are four left, two men and two women, who can form a team to waltz.
Seven days later, there was finally a new instruction from the above, and we sent someone to support us, at least we had to see what was going on inside.
If you don’t look at it, you will withdraw it. This is not the style of the unit. If you have dates or not, you will get a shot. Chen Qinghan collected samples in this style.
The previous first team lost three people, two survived, more than half of them died, and all were injured... were injured.
This time, the superiors sent people to pay special attention to it. It is said that elite field offices were drawn from other places.
Our previous tasks always say that we lack people, and that is because the elites are busy all over the world without touching their feet. Even in the same unit and the same department will not be able to meet them.
After hearing the list of personnel, Zheng Jie glanced at me with a strange look. I was sure that these people did not have any acquaintances I knew. Why did she look at me?
When the meeting to announce the new mission was over, Zheng Jie signaled me to follow her. Her pace was quite fast on the ground. I chased her twice before catching up with her.
"What's the matter?" I chased Zheng Jie out of the yard. She turned to the north corner of the yard wall and avoided everyone's sight.
"Lan Suling." Zheng Jie's expression was a little serious.
"Ah, what's wrong?" I thought about it again, sure I had never heard of this name and did not know this person.
"She is Qi Xiuyuan's cousin." Zheng Jie said and observed my reaction.
"Who is Qi Xiuyuan?"
"Chen Qinghan's senior sister."
"Oh, it's her, what's wrong with her cousin?"
"Are you pretending to be stupid?"
"Absolutely not, I'm so stupid."
Zheng Jie sighed and said, "No matter whether you are stupid or not, I would like to remind you that the relationship between these sisters is particularly delicate, and their family interests are deeply entangled, and they are entangled together, but they are in a competitive relationship, and even their relationship has to be fought... because they fall in love with someone at the same time."
"Who?"
"hiss!"
"Ah, Chen Qinzhan."
"In the past, Qi Xiuyuan blocked her, and she was stumbling on the open and secretly. Lan Suling herself was also busy. Chen Qinghan's attitude was cold, so she had no sense of existence. Now that Qi Xiuyuan is dead, she has the opportunity to perform missions with Chen Qinghan again, so she must show her presence."
"Show it." I shrugged and expressed helplessness. This world is a big stage. Everyone is an actor on the stage. I can't stop anyone who wants to perform.
"Be careful." Zheng Jie stared.
"Life in this mountain is quite boring..." I smiled, pressed Zheng Jie's shoulder, and shook it twice.
Zheng Jie was speechless for a moment, and her voice was even more in her throat. She seemed to want to say something, and she swallowed it back.
"You..." She dragged the long voice, with doubts in her eyes.
"We are going to start work, thank you. I will treat you to dinner when I go back to the capital." My smile became stronger, and my smile expanded at the corners of my mouth. This was a sincere smile.
I know that there are many CP fans of Chen Qinghan and me in the unit, saying that we are a strong alliance and regard all the women who wander around Chen Qinghan as vixen.
This is outrageous. Baozi is obviously a daughter, so how could he be a vixen!
Baozi even came to the scene as a fan head and sent me a screenshot of the chat record. He was so angry that he looked more like a bun.
But to be honest, there are really many women who are eyeing Chen Qinshou. Even if he posted on his Moments to announce his withdrawal from singleness and often showed his love, there are still a large number of women of all ages and classes who have fantasies about him.
There is no way, he must be "abnormal". Is there a gu on his body or something? In short, his confusing physique is incredible to me, but I haven't found a chance to ask an expert to show it, cure it early and recover it early, and have no worries about love and marriage.
Of course, there are still some women who are immune to him, such as Baozi, Ling Keer and Zheng Jie. They may have antibodies on them, but I don’t know if they can be extracted and made into a vaccine.
The day after the mission was announced, the support team arrived, with a total of seven people, only one female, so there is no need to ask, she must be Lan Suling, my nth love rival.
Chapter completed!
