It was afternoon when Steven and Kate walked out of the ruins. They ate some dried meat they brought with them outside the vent of the ruins, and then walked down the ruins to the direction of the river. They were going to take a bath and discuss the next plan.
Soon after, they were lying on their backs in the shallow water of the river. Both of them were naked and strong, relaxing and enjoying the cool river water. The dark rainforest in the dry season is still very hot and humid because it is located in the tropics.
, but the Dark Mountains are not as humid as in the rainforest. The sun shines warmly on the mountain plains. The grasslands, shrubs and woods in the plains grow lushly against the sunshine. The trees by the river grow taller and more lush, which is just right.
Provide them with a cool and comfortable environment.
While sighing comfortably, Steven asked Kate: "Dear Kate, do you have any plans for the next exploration? The area on the first floor has basically been explored, and the second floor will also be searched before we clean up the corpses.
After checking it again, there are no valuable discoveries on these two floors, oh, except for the straight knife! But now my expectations for this ruins are much lower than when I first started."
Kate was lying in the running water with a smooth pebble under her head and neck. He raised his head and looked at a white cloud floating slowly in the blue sky. Hearing Steven's words, he turned his head.
He said in the direction of Steven: "Steven, it's worth a lot for us to get this straight knife! And we have seen so many types of monsters. At least in terms of knowledge, the ruins themselves and
The monsters inside are worthy of careful study. Of course, I understand what you mean. You have expectations in terms of academic research, but the cultural relics representing history that can be studied are unlikely to be preserved. Those
The thick dust on the floor of the room and hall shows everything. Time will turn everything into dust! But we will definitely continue to explore the ruins. Tomorrow we will quickly search the second floor first, and then explore the upper floors. No need
Wherever you book, it will come out at about the time.”
Steven picked up a handful of clear river water with the palm of his hand and threw it into the sky. He closed his eyes and waited for the water drops to fall into his open mouth, and then said: "After this long time inside the ruins, everything has been destroyed."
Turned into dust, I no longer have any expectations for cultural relics with academic research value. The ancient civilizations in the ruins era had certain technologies, so they did not carve records and words on rocks like primitive tribal humans.
, on the contrary, they can still be preserved after a long period of time, just like in our current civilized society, the books in the library will turn into dust without having to pass tens of thousands of years."
Kate sat up and said: "So the things that can be preserved must be the most precious treasures that have been baptized by time! Steven, just like the straight knife you got, and the guardians we will definitely encounter, at least for now
There is one, they may represent the essence of the ruins civilization, but those zombie monsters, I think there is a huge contrast between them and the ruins themselves! I have great doubts about this."
Steven also agreed: "Yes! Those monsters are completely incompatible with the ruins themselves. They probably only existed later, but how they came into being and existed in the ruins is probably destined to be an unsolved mystery."
Got it!"
The two enjoyed a leisurely afternoon in the river, and then walked slowly back to the camp. On the way, Steven picked some ripe plantains and berries, and Kate also dug some sweetroot. They were going to enjoy it tonight.
Delicious food.
The mountainous plains at night were slightly cooler because the altitude was higher than the rainforest. After Steven and Kate finished dinner and put away the groceries, they sat in the courtyard drinking tea and chatting. At this time, the night sky was filled with stars.
The Milky Way was hanging upside down, and there was a breeze blowing around them. While drinking tea, the two of them chatted about some of their previous experiences and emotions. At the same time, they couldn't help but feel a little longing for their relatives and friends far away in Grant Continent. After they had enjoyed their chat,
Go back to the cabin and sleep.
Early the next morning, the two of them had breakfast and got ready. When the sun rose and shone on the top of the pyramid, they left the small courtyard and headed for the ruins. Soon they came outside the vent of the ruins, moved the rocks and entered the ruins. They followed yesterday's instructions.
As planned, they planned to quickly search the second floor first, and then explore the upper floors.
The area of the second floor is much smaller than that of the first floor, because the middle part is used as the atrium of the first floor. In addition to the two corridors, the outer walkway and the inner walkway, there are some rooms sandwiched in the middle. They have already explored it before
, this time they just quickly walked through the previously explored areas, but they still encountered a few zombies in the inner corridor. The zombies shaking in the corridor ignored the two of them and allowed them to walk by.
past.
Soon the two of them went up to the third floor through the stairs in a small room at the corner of the inner corridor. This staircase was surrounded by stone walls and became a separate stairwell, from the second floor to the third floor, and on the third floor.
The stairs continued upward to the fourth floor. There was a doorway in the stairwell that led to the third-floor walkway. The specifications were the same as the door openings on the floors below. The two entered the third-floor walkway, and later discovered that this walkway was the inside of the third-floor walkway.
aisle.
After they exited the cave, they first explored the left side of the corridor. Steven walked in front, and Kate followed not far behind with a backpack tied with a torch. The dimensions of the corridors on the third floor were the same as those on the two floors below, about 3 meters.
It is wide and 5 meters high. The walls and ground of the corridor extend straight forward in the darkness. The torch on Kate's body can only illuminate less than 10 meters in the corridor.
As soon as Steven walked more than ten meters, he found several things lying on the ground not far ahead. At the same time, those things also discovered them. Steven stopped and felt carefully, and determined that they were four throwing zombies.
He immediately turned around and gestured to Kate, who nodded and was on guard.
Steven took another dozen steps forward. He had already reached into his leather bag and took out two stone darts, and was ready to attack, but at this time he could clearly sense the four throwing zombies attacking him.
There is no longer any hostility, because at this distance before, they would have locked onto Steven.
Steven did not plan to attack proactively, and carefully approached them slowly along one side of the wall. He was not sure if they would suddenly attack when they passed the throwing zombies. At this time, he had to
Be clear, otherwise when surrounded at close range, the objects thrown by these throwing zombies will pose a fatal threat to them after exploding.
