Chapter 26. The Star in the Corridor

The flashlight emits a bright light, illuminating the entire dark passage. Compared to the low cave, the secret passage is obviously much wider.

Holding a flashlight in one hand, Edward held the M4-A1 assault rifle tightly in his right arm. He waited for the dust to disperse a lot. He took two deep breaths and walked inside. Over the pile of rubble, he could clearly see

Artificially hewn stairs and corridors.

"What a simple mural, oh, they are so beautiful!"

A Marine used a flashlight to shine on the walls on both sides of the corridor, and found that there were many strange reliefs carved on them. Although the carving techniques were crude and they were only basic colors, they carried a sense of time and age.

Edward was walking in the front. Of course he also noticed the carved murals on both sides, but he was even more surprised by the semicircular dome above his head. There were countless large and small circles carved on it. According to his observation, some places even

It was also specially colored with black plant ash.

"This is...the star map of the universe?!"

Swallowing slightly, Edward squinted and looked at the top less than half a meter away from his head. The numerous protruding circular carvings of different sizes were surrounded by black plant ash. Under the illumination of the flashlight, there was a trace of

A far-reaching mystery.

The protruding circles were arranged regularly on the top of the sky dome. Edward looked at them one by one with the help of his own light, and walked forward slowly. As the light passed by, he was suddenly startled, and he stared closely.

He touched the top cover somewhere and slowly stretched out his hand to wipe the dust: "This is...the solar system?!"

He was surprised to see the several circular reliefs arranged regularly around a larger relief. Some of the reliefs even had other smaller circular carvings. Edward swallowed and spit. For this,

He couldn't be more familiar!

Based on the memory in his mind, Edward discovered that this was clearly the solar system in which the earth is located!

Taking a deep breath, Edward looked ahead. The corridor was still dark, probably because the air had not flowed through it for a long time. A large amount of dust had settled on the ground. As Edward and the soldiers moved slowly, a lot of it was picked up.

It becomes more and more diffuse.

For Edward, who is 1.86 meters tall, the two-meter-high top cover is actually just a matter of raising his hand. Edward continued to wipe the area with his hand, wanting to observe it more clearly, but his fingers suddenly loosened.

"Oh, damn!"

Edward's hand immediately stopped there, not daring to show any sign of movement, but he didn't dare to continue to exert force, because his hand clearly felt that the force of the gentle wiping just now had actually wiped the smear for who knows how long.

The rocks scraped off a lot of gravel!

"What happened? Sir!" The two Marines behind him saw Edward not daring to make any move. They immediately picked up the G3-A4 assault rifle in their hands, bent down and pressed the handle of the gun tightly against their shoulders.

, asked nervously: "Sir, are you okay?"

"It's okay, don't move! Don't touch those reliefs and walls!"

Edward slowly let go of his hand. There were already many tiny cracks in the area where the top cover had been wiped. As his arm gently left, a lot of gravel slowly fell down. When he looked over, he saw a circle.

Half of the relief has apparently disappeared.

"What a bitch, I wiped out half of the sparks with just a wave of my hand!" Edward showed a wry smile and took a deep breath. The fresh air behind him came in along the hole, which made him even more stunned. He turned his head and looked at the people on the left and right.

Shining a flashlight on the wall: "Fake! It really is like this..."

As the flashlight shines through, the simple colors on the surrounding murals are fading at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the rock reliefs that should be hard seem to be slightly dropping fine stone powder. This is the corrosion of the air.

.

"How can the corrosion rate be so fast?" Edward swallowed. Even if the closed space of more than three thousand years is opened, the air will probably not corrode the murals and reliefs so fast: "Oh God, this corridor exists

How long exactly is the time?!"

"Sir, there seems to be something ahead!"

A Marine walked past Edward and pointed forward with the flashlight in his hand. It was too dark to see clearly at the end of the corridor. He picked up the G3-A4 assault rifle and turned his head slightly and said, "Would you like to go over and take a look?"

?”

Unfortunately, he glanced at the countless star reliefs on the roof. Edward turned to look at the end of the corridor. The flashlight was found in a small town. It was not a tactical flashlight specially used by the army. The lighting effect was not obvious. Looking at the end, it was about twenty meters away.

The dark thing was there, he nodded and said: "Move forward! Be careful!"

"Zizi...Sir, are you okay?"

Just when Edward wanted to move forward, Kratos' words suddenly came from the intercom on his shoulder. He paused, looked at the watch on his right arm, and found that he had been in for nearly half an hour, so he turned on the intercom and whispered softly.

: "It's okay, everything is fine."

"Zizi...Sir, I'll go down right away if I can." Kratos at the entrance of the cave couldn't wait any longer. When he heard Edward didn't deny it, he jumped down lightly, picked up the AKS-74u submachine gun behind him, and slowly walked into the cave.

In the corridor.

Edward waved back, and Kratos immediately wanted to touch the wall and come over, but his action was immediately stopped by Edward: "Don't touch the wall and the roof, the things on it are very precious!"

Kratos also used a flashlight to look at the reliefs and paintings on the walls, and discovered that there were strange-looking cities, aircraft with wings, mysterious priests wearing cloaks, and even four arms holding sabers and spears riding on a giant

warriors on beasts and more.

"Oh, what are these things?" Kratos also moved cautiously, looking at the wall along with the light of the flashlight, frowning and saying: "It seems that there are no such things on the earth we are on."

Edward shook his head and did not answer. Just looking at the content on the mural, he had already made a guess in his mind before, and the paint and stone in the mural that were quickly corroded by the air showed that these things must be at least more than five thousand years old.

history!

However, in ancient America, there was no ancient civilization that lasted for thousands of years like southern Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. Even ancient China, which was relatively late in civilization and only had a history of more than 3,500 years, did not

Not much.

"Let's go forward, I think the front should give us part of the answer."

Waving forward gently, the two Marines walked in front, pointing the G3-A4 assault rifles in front of them carefully, especially the dark thing at the end, which was gradually revealing its general outline as the light approached.

contour.

The end of the corridor is not the dark outline, but an empty building of about one hundred square meters. There may have been exquisite doors on both sides a long time ago, but now there are only black debris left, under the ruthless erosion of time.

, even hard alloy steel will gradually turn into residue.

"God, this is a miracle!"

Kratos' eyes widened, and the flashlight in his hand shone on the originally dark thing. The outline was illuminated by the light, completely revealing it. It was an altar more than three meters wide and more than one meter high.

On a base made entirely of obsidian, countless obsidian carvings of tigers, cheetahs, eagles and bison stand on it. Although it is covered with a thick layer of dust, there is still a strong meaning that makes everyone

They all felt an aura from ancient times.

"God, this is so great!"

The two Marines couldn't help but let out a cry of praise. They widened their eyes and shined a flashlight on everything inside. Light dust flew up in the air, like clouds in heaven, with a sense of not belonging to this world.

No one wanted to move forward and fully enter the room with the altar, as if for fear of disturbing the enchanting spectacle.

"Wait... there seems to be something on the altar." Edward looked at the altar. There was a small altar in the center of countless obsidian carvings. There seemed to be something placed on it. Under the light of the flashlight, it gave off a faint silver color.

Light.

"Is it metal?"

Kratos also discovered the faint silver light, frowned slightly and looked at the things on the altar, but he couldn't see clearly due to the countless dust raised, but it became more and more mysterious.

"This is impossible..." Edward murmured after swallowing softly. Even the rocks have begun to gradually corrode due to time, and they are more susceptible to the brilliance of time. How can metals remain more intact than rocks now?!

He walked forward gently. The ground was also slightly crunchy. With every step, his feet and part of his calves would sink into the dust that had been dormant for thousands of years. Looking around, he saw a large number of simple murals and reliefs that were smaller than the corridor outside.

There are more, but the most eye-catching thing is that in the center of each wall, there is a human figure holding a scepter, standing on a huge high platform.

Edward shined the flashlight above his head. It was no longer the vast image of the universe outside, but a huge star, surrounded by three satellites of different sizes, and even the mountains, canyons and oceans were faintly visible.

"Kacha... Kacha..."

Suddenly, a slight sound followed Edward's footsteps in front of him, causing him to pause slightly as he advanced. He stared ahead with wide eyes. The obsidian altar, which originally seemed thick and solid, actually began to shake slowly.

Cracks opened up on it and spread upward!

"No!" Edward hadn't even seen what the silver thing was. The rapidly spreading cracks instantly spread from the bottom of the altar to the altar. A large amount of dust was lifted up by the air and flew up, covering Edward's face.

sight.

Even the solid obsidian cannot withstand the erosion of time. When it falls to the ground, it turns into countless fine stone chips covering the ground!
