Chapter 4671: Changes
"It seems that the situation here is more complicated than we imagined." Ning Che said with a serious look.
"Don't think too much about it for now, let's just do the things at hand first." Lin Yi said in a low voice.
"Ah."
The two continued to search inside the ruins.
After more than two hours, Ning Che recorded everything inside.
Finally, both of their eyes focused on the huge skeleton.
But Lin Yi was not very focused.
"What are you thinking about?" Ning Che said:
"I wonder if there are other minerals in this place."
Ning Che took out the radiation meter and said:
"The radiation level in this secret room is indeed higher than that in the room outside, but I have checked it and this level of radiation is very evenly distributed, which is different from the situation outside."
"It must be so high for a reason. Could there be minerals buried in the walls?"
"Why do you think so?"
"Just look at this skeleton and you'll know that it's very difficult to make it without the help of ore. So I think there are ore in this place."
Ning Che thought about it and based on previous experience, this statement seemed reasonable.
"If that's the case, it's going to be very difficult. We can't just dig through all the holes here. It would tire us both to death, and it wouldn't be safe."
If it is local, there is naturally no need to worry about this. Just chisel it out bit by bit.
But this is the United States, and we cannot do anything excessive here. If we accidentally attract people here, it may be difficult to return alive.
Lin Yi was also well aware of this and could only sigh helplessly.
"Take whatever you can now."
"Ah."
Lin Yi's attention returned to the huge skeleton.
The two of them were very cautious and no one dared to move. Ning Che turned around and took pictures, recording everything completely.
"It's almost done, let's give it a try."
"Ah."
Lin Yi nodded and tried to touch the skeleton.
Just as they imagined, at the moment of touching, the bones turned into ashes in an instant because of the long time.
Neither of them panicked. They just watched quietly as the huge monster collapsed, like the end of an era.
"Collect some ashes and take them back."
"Ah."
Ning Che bent down and collected the ashes from different locations. If every place was the same, he would not lose anything. If there were different discoveries, he would make a profit.
"Ok?"
Just as Ning Che was collecting the ashes, Lin Yi discovered something was wrong.
Under the skeleton, there is a brick whose color is wrong. Compared with the other bricks, it is black overall and the difference is very obvious.
Following Lin Yi's gaze, Ning Che also noticed something was wrong.
I cleaned off all the ashes and knocked on it again, and the sound was indeed different.
"There's only one small brick that's different. It shouldn't be a secret passage."
"Whatever it is, we need to take it apart and have a look."
Then, the two of them worked together to pry the brick open.
Below is a small secret compartment, about 30 cm long and wide, with a black crystal inside.
It was about the size of an adult's fist and just lay there quietly.
Even after countless years, the luster of the surface remains unchanged.
Ning Che immediately took out the radiation meter to test the radiation level and found that it was not very high.
"That's strange." Ning Che said.
"Why is it weird?"
"The radiation level in the entire secret room is almost the same. According to our previous speculation, this situation may occur because there are such ores in various places on the wall. But now, we have found a piece of ore that was specially placed, and the radiation level is still the same. It's a bit strange."
"I'll try it first, and then we can draw conclusions."
Lin Yi took the ore out and put it in the secret room outside.
"Measure the radiation level in the room again."
Ning Che looked at the radiation meter and was surprised to find that "the radiation level has been reduced by half!"
"Test other places."
Ning Che stood up and went to other places, testing every corner with a radiation meter.
“They’ve all been cut in half!”
"That means the ore has special properties." Lin Yi said:
"The radiation it emits can reach every place evenly."
"But judging from the current situation, there shouldn't be any other creatures here."
Lin Yi nodded, "There won't be anything left out."
"Withdraw."
sizzle-
sizzle-
At this moment, the sound of electric current came from the headphones of both of them at the same time, and Sheng Wenjing's voice came.
"Team Leader Lin, Sister Ning, we saw some unfamiliar vehicles parked near Mount Zork. Something might be wrong. What's the situation over there? When can they get out?"
Upon hearing the news, both of their faces changed.
"What kind of people are they?"
"There are people of all races. Judging from their posture, they don't look like Storm people."
"Okay, I understand. You guys continue to observe."
After hanging up the communicator, Lin Yi looked at the time. It was now around six o'clock in the evening.
"By now, most of the people down the mountain should have left. Let's evacuate as well."
"Ah."
The two men didn't say anything else. Even though those people who came might not be coming for them, at this moment, any slight disturbance could become a fatal fuse, so they had to be careful.
Compared to when they came, the two retreated much faster and soon returned to the pool of water.
"Wen Jing, what's the situation outside? We are about to go out. Are the conditions ripe?"
"It should be fine within ten minutes."
"it is good."
Neither of them dared to waste any more time. They took the ore and the golden chair, jumped into the water, and then returned the same way.
About ten minutes later, the two returned to the river. Sheng Wenjing made a mark underwater. After the two found the mark, they poked their heads out from underwater.
It was already dark outside and no one was around.
Cai Dongyi took the things from Lin Yi's hands, and Sheng Wenjing pulled them up.
"Come on!"
Lin Yi didn't want to waste any more time, so without saying anything, he took the three of them back to the car.
Once I got in the car, my tense nerves relaxed a little.
"Where are those people now?" Lin Yi asked.
"We have already entered the mountain." Sheng Wenjing said:
"According to our observations, after they came in, they dispersed and went into the mountains. Judging from their movements and their level of caution, we can tell that they are from abroad and have rich combat experience. They are likely members of the two major organizations."
"Let's go, this place is no longer safe, let's leave this troubled place quickly."
