Chapter 68 Ancient Ruins
Chapter 68 Ancient ruins
Ancient Egypt, one of the four ancient civilizations, once had a splendid ancient culture. Since ancient times, its ancient history that has been submerged in the long river of history has always fascinated countless archaeologists.
And under the vast Sahara Desert 300 kilometers south of Cairo, the capital of modern Egypt, there are still many ancient tombs hidden in people. These are the only proof that ancient civilizations have left in this world, but for a long time they have been lying quietly under the vast sea of sand and waiting for the appearance of those with destiny to discover them.
Therefore, there are often a large number of professional and non-professional tomb robbers and archaeologists in this desert, but since a few months ago, a large number of people have suddenly disappeared. For a time, the surroundings have become rare. Some people have swear to say that there have been a large number of parasitic beasts here that have been swallowed up by the forces from the sea of sand.
Of course, people just used this news as a joke. After all, quicksand in the desert often appears. The parasites are large in size and it is not surprising that they are swallowed by the desert. But after a week ago, a unit of the Egyptian military lost traces in this area, everyone began to speculate whether there were unknown terrifying monsters in the desert in that area, just like in the sea now.
At this moment, in an ancient tomb with a very long history under the desert that people are talking about, Athena, wearing predator armor, is now moving along an ancient passage cut from a huge stone with the help of a special searchlight on her armor.
Thirty hours ago, she and her subordinates were forcibly pulled into the vast sea of sand by a powerful suction force from the ground. It was not long ago that she successfully drilled out of the sand layer and accidentally entered the aisle of an ancient tomb.
At this moment, a subordinate was gone, and although the interference source in the tomb was not strong, the stone walls in front of her did have strong magnetic force, which made the communication signals of the plunder armor unable to be transmitted, and the positioning system could not work normally.
As the lights on the raiders' armor shone, a large number of pictograms unique to ancient Egypt suddenly appeared on the stone walls around the passage. This ancient tomb that has existed for thousands of years has not been seen so far except for Athena's figure floating and moving.
The reason why Athena is floating and moving is entirely because she has turned on the anti-gravity system of the plunder armor. In addition to the convenience of moving, it can also avoid touching some difficult-to-discover mechanisms on the ground.
Athena had already detected some of the areas of the tombs at this moment. She found that the area here was very large, and the passages were like mazes. She had not found the exit of the tomb until now. She had thought before that she had forcibly rushed out of the gap she had just entered. Although it was a bit troublesome, it was a way.
But soon after, Athena discovered that this method simply didn't work. Because now, if she entered the desert again, the raider's armored system would sound an alarm, indicating that there was unstable dangerous energy around her. For safety reasons, she had to give up leaving the tomb through this method.
The method of forcibly using weapons to break the surrounding rock walls was rejected by Athena after analysis. Because if the situation detected by the plunder armor was correct, the unstable energy that appeared around the tomb would likely be detonated by the vibrations when attacking the rock walls, and it is very likely that the tomb would collapse.
As he continued to walk along the passage forward, Athena's raider armor suddenly turned to the existence of light source energy not far ahead.
It is logical that no light source could appear in this ancient tomb that penetrated underground, but now the detectors of the plunder armor continue to provide a series of data, which forced Athena to believe that there was indeed an unknown light source ahead.
In order to find out the actual situation ahead, Athena immediately accelerated toward the passage ahead. As a result, after passing a corner, a very obvious light suddenly appeared in front of her.
When Athena entered this room that was constantly emitting light, what appeared in front of her was a large number of gold jewelry flashing with golden light, as well as countless burial objects. If there was a human here now, he would definitely be crazy about the scene he saw in front of him.
There are two large sarcophagus carved with exquisite patterns in the center of this room, and surrounded by some rock statues full of ancient atmosphere. From the many priceless burial objects in this tomb and the exquisite carvings around it, the owner of this tomb must be neither rich nor noble.
The things that emit unknown light sources make the tomb owner's room so transparent and transparent were clearly seen by Athena soon after. The large number of luminous crystals that appeared on the zenith above the tomb, but these things were obviously not the original decorations of the tomb.
Because Athena found that the luminous crystals embedded in the ceiling were obviously forced into by external forces, and there were obviously a large number of scratches on the surrounding stone walls. At the same time, she also saw a row of white cocoon-shaped objects hanging behind several large stone pillars.
After Athena came to the upside-down white cocoons, she cut one of them with the sharp blade carried on the raider's armor. An object immediately fell out of it, and she immediately discovered that the thing that fell to the ground was actually one of the ten ghost soldiers under her previous command.
However, the ghost soldier did not react at this moment. Athena clearly knew that these ghost soldiers were transformed from corpses and could adapt to various harsh environments. However, at this moment, the smart chip in the other party's head did not respond at all to the commands she issued.
Without any hesitation, Athena directly cut open the entire head of the ghost soldier who had stopped moving. Now she was about to find out the chip implanted in her brain, and then read the information in it to understand what happened to these ghost soldiers after they separated from her.
But when the skull of this ghost soldier was completely opened, it was a very strange scene before Athena. The position of the brain was originally supposed to be like a ball of paste at this moment, but no chip was found in this sticky thing.
Athena immediately analyzed the composition of the paste in front of her, and the result was that a very small part of these things were brain matter. The other substances were similar to saliva and biological excrement. It seemed that the ghost soldier's brain should have been eaten up by some creature as snacks.
Then Athena started to open her belly to the ghost soldier in front of her without disgust. As the corpse's belly was opened, she immediately found a group of small black multi-legged creatures like centipedes in her abdomen. These unknown creatures were constantly mouthing the internal organs in her abdomen, eating quite a bit.
After the abdomen of the corpse was opened, these unknown creatures who were eating stopped eating one after another. After the leaders looked up one after another, they saw Athena wearing the raider armor, and immediately began to rush out quickly. At the same time, they kept making a low-frequency cry.
All of this was clearly heard by Athena. She immediately reached out and grabbed an unknown creature that was really running away. Then she took the multi-legged animal in front of her. As the raider continued to enlarge the picture of her hand, the whole picture of the creature suddenly appeared in front of her.
The strange creature had a row of compound eyes on its head, and underneath it was a pair of sharp jaws similar to marching ants. Under this jaw was there a small mouth full of countless sharp teeth. After magnifying the picture, Athena found that there were as many as three rows of teeth in the other person's small mouth.
After being caught by Athena, this unknown creature immediately began to struggle desperately. She tried her best to run away from her hands, and even bit the raider armor without hesitation.
However, it is obvious that the creature's teeth have not yet reached the point where they can bite the magic gold. Seeing the struggle without hope, the creature immediately let out a burst of unknown screams again.
Athena immediately opened the back of the Raider's armor and took out a small collection device. Then she stuffed the little bug that kept calling into it. Collecting unknown biological specimens was one of the tasks Mu Chenxing had always given her.
After stuffing the specimen into the raider's armor, Athena came under the other cocoons again. She was now preparing to open all these things to see if there were all the missing ghost soldiers inside.
Of course, Athena would not expect to find the Terminator among these things. After all, the act of treating the human body as food is obviously done by some kind of creature.
As long as it is a creature, there should not be much interest in the terminator who is full of metal. After all, alloys are not such a delicious thing.
