Time is always moving forward, slowly but constantly. It may stop and slow down, but it will still slowly roll over everything.
Even the hard obsidian has been eroded by time and becomes extremely brittle. Even the vibration caused by stepping on the ground has begun to irreversibly collapse into stone dust.
"Ahem..."
Everyone covered their mouths and closed their eyes tightly. A large amount of dust deposited for thousands of years is no joke, especially when the hard obsidian is broken into pieces, but the fine powder is still stone powder. If it enters the respiratory tract,
, I don’t know what will happen!
It took a full three to five minutes before the flying dust finally fell back to the ground. Although there was still a small amount of residue floating in the air, it was generally harmless to the human body.
Opening his eyes, Edward regretfully looked at the pile of debris in front of him. The obsidian altar that originally seemed to carry the earth's strong will actually turned into stone powder debris more than half a meter high. Except for some parts, there were still faint traces of the previous ones.
It has a vague appearance, and the rest is just countless gravel and dust.
"Is this the end?" After shaking his head twice, a layer of stone powder fell down. After shaking his head, Edward casually slapped away the layer of stone powder covering his body, with regret in his eyes.
The power of time is not just a brief moment, but when connected to form a long river, it can destroy everything.
Even if some powerful ones can persist for a long time, they still cannot escape the fate of eventually turning into ashes, because the long river of time will never end. Even if the universe collapses, time will continue to move slowly as usual until another
The universe is reborn.
"Wait, what is that?!"
A sharp-eyed Marine suddenly said. He raised his head and looked at a corner in the ruins, frowning slightly. The place illuminated by the flashlight still exuded some mystery. He couldn't help but raise his finger and pointed in that direction and said in surprise: "Sir, look, there.
There’s silver light!”
"Silver light?" Edward was slightly stunned. He followed the player's finger and found a bit of silver popping up among the obsidian ruins. Along with the light of the flashlight, there was a faint silver light, a charming charm.
Frowning slightly, with a look of disbelief, Edward couldn't believe that the silver light had not turned into powder over time. He took two steps forward and tried hard to pull out the half-meter-high obsidian fragments with his calves.
As the distance got closer, the silver light became more brilliant.
"This is impossible..."
Edward waded through the soft stone chips, and countless stone dust flew up, but he did not avoid it at all. He stared closely at the silver light. When the flashlight shone through, he could already reveal a metal outline as big as the palm of his hand.
With shock in his heart, Edward really couldn't believe that there was actually metal that could survive the long period of time and decay. Even if the rocks began to soften, they had no signs of being corroded by time and were still completely black.
, blooming with your own silver.
"What the hell is this?"
Edward bent down slightly and looked at the palm-sized silver object in front of him. He stretched out his hand and gently grabbed it. There was no change at all. In his hand, it was hard and cold, with only fine and smooth obsidian powder, which he gently followed between his fingers.
flow on.
The palm-sized piece of silver metal seems to have a similar material and appearance to steel, but seeing that the material can survive rocks and not decay, you know it is definitely not steel.
Edward carefully looked at it in front of his eyes, shining it with a flashlight. Dots of silver light were as bright as the stars. Several lines of mysterious hieroglyphics were carved on it, which stood out against the transparent ball in the middle that seemed to be made of diamonds, which added to the score.
mystery.
"Is this, God's token..."
Edward held this silver medal-shaped object with one hand and frowned as he looked closely at the hieroglyphs in it. It was different from the known characters on earth. Even the alien characters were not similar. Instead, they seemed to be the ones leading to heaven.
Token.
"Basum..." A soft sigh came from the silver token. It was inaudible, but Edward, who was extremely close, heard it so clearly that he could even distinguish every syllable echo!
"What?!"
Edward's hand holding the token trembled slightly. Unexpectedly, the silver token made a sound, which simply surprised him: "Did you hear it? There was a sound just now!" He turned his head and looked not far behind him.
The team member at the office asked hurriedly: "Is that so?"
"It seems so...but isn't that your mumbling, sir?" Kratos was also slightly stunned. Looking at Edward's eager eyes, he opened his mouth and said in confusion: "There was indeed a sound just now."
Seeing the other soldiers nodding slowly, Edward couldn't help but focus on the token in his hand again. He frowned and saw that the silver token, which had not been corroded by time, actually made a sound.
, this is simply incredible!
However, no matter how Edward continued to rub the translucent ball and the entire silver token, he could not continue to make even a sound, as if that sound had never appeared.
"Oh, God! This place is falling apart!"
Kratos's voice immediately came not far away, making Edward slightly startled. He immediately raised his head and looked around, only to find that a large number of cracks appeared quickly, and bits of gravel and stone chips had collapsed on the wall. As for that
The original murals have already peeled off and almost disappeared.
"Oh, damn!" Edward cursed and immediately activated the cheat code. The movie special effects that could speed up the body turned into a stream of light, and rushed outside with the two marines and Kratos in his arms.
Just as he rushed into the corridor, the house where the altar and the silver token were placed suddenly collapsed, and huge cracks were still spreading along the corridor. The sound of peeling walls and falling gravel kept coming from behind, which made
Edward was very unwilling!
There are a lot of things on the murals and reliefs, and there is even information about the universe and other life races. Just collapse and turn into stone powder, which will not let Edward get anything useful at all!
In particular, the silver token in the hand vaguely points to a race that is more technologically advanced than the earth. Especially since the metal has not been corroded by time after thousands of years or more, you can know the technology of that race.
How powerful it is!
"It's a pity that they all disappeared with the collapse..."
After arriving under the cave, several people helped each other and quickly returned to the ground in less than five seconds. Then there was a violent collision, followed by strong stone powder flying behind them.
Standing next to the entrance of the cave, Edward, who was covered in stone powder, looked at the entrance of the cave with only rocks remaining, with bursts of stone powder still flying in the wind. The silver token in his hand was still hard and cold, with mysterious runes.
Engraved on it, it reflects the translucent sphere in the center.
"Fortunately, I still have this." Raising his hand and looking at the silver token, Edward shook his head regretfully. All the information disappeared with the collapse. Even with this token, nothing could compare with it.
connected.
However, Edward always felt that this thing seemed to have been seen somewhere before. He looked at the silver token carefully, especially the palm-sized silver figure, the translucent ball in the middle, and the mysterious hieroglyphs on it.
They all have a vague feeling of familiarity.
Especially this unique shape overlapped with a hidden memory somewhere in his mind, but no matter how hard he thought about it, he still couldn't recall what it was.
After all, relying on this silver token alone, it is impossible to obtain effective information to contact certain memories of previous lives. If he could observe more of the star maps and murals in the corridor, he might be able to obtain some information to recall. Unfortunately,
But it all turned into stone powder, and no trace was found anymore.
"No, I have indeed seen it somewhere before."
Edward rubbed his brows, looked at the sun that had set in the sky, sighed slowly, shook his head and looked around. When a dozen soldiers heard the noise here, they all gathered with guns in hand, and they couldn't help but waved: "
Everyone disperse and be on alert!"
After nightfall, you need to be careful. Unlike the NS robot with the indicator light in the center of its chest, these ferocious virus-infected bodies have the remaining wisdom of human beings, and their physical fitness has been strengthened by virus erosion, so they can be better than normal at night.
Greater human vision.
If you are not careful, you may actually be attacked by this group of virus-infected people directly at your doorstep, brandishing various weapons, and engage in a brutal night attack!
"Step up the construction of fortifications, everyone must work hard!"
Edward pressed the intercom in front of his right shoulder and looked at the soldiers who were busy loading sandbags again. He couldn't help but nodded and loudly issued an order through the intercom: "Do good defense work at night. After asking the opponent's identity three times, you can open fire freely!
"
"Understood!" The voices of several main leaders immediately came out from the intercom, with a firmness. In this case, the soldiers recruited were obviously trustworthy.
Putting the silver token into his pocket, Edward patted his whole body, but a piece of stone dust rose up. He raised his hand to touch his face and hair, only to find that he was as dirty as if he hadn't taken a shower in more than ten years, with a smell all over his body.
Uncomfortable energy.
"Damn it, damn it!"
Seeing that the ground was obviously slightly sunken by a few centimeters, but there was not much of a crater, Edward spat hard and found that even the spit contained a lot of stone powder. He couldn't help but curse to ease his regretful mood.
.
But what he needs most right now is to take a refreshing bath to remove the stone powder all over his body, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable to stand with it sticky on his body!
