Chapter 16 Ruins
In a small open-air camp, Cowper is shouldering the duty of night watchman.
A group of them have experienced genetic enhancement, and they only need 2 hours of sleep a day to meet their physiological needs.
Cowper silently flipped through an old manuscript in his hand by the light of the flashlight.
This is the secret left to him by his father before his death, and it records the exploration experience of an ancient ruins.
Cowper does not know when his father joined this private expedition, but as far as the record is concerned, only his father came back alive with this manuscript from this private expedition.
After that, his father lived in seclusion and hardly communicated with the outside world. Even Cowper himself rarely saw him.
Even so, an abnormal fire still claimed his life, and all his inheritance was burned away, only this manuscript, which Cowper was instructed to carry with him, remains in the world.
Copper felt that there was a huge and terrifying secret waiting for his discovery.
Returning the manuscript to his arms, his keen senses suddenly noticed that something seemed to be approaching the camp.
He was immediately alert, and his eyes were fixed on a grass field in the distance. With the extraordinary vision obtained after genetic enhancement, he clearly saw something stepping on the grass, and gradually moved towards here.
"There is a situation!" Cowper sounded the alarm instantly, waking up everyone who was sleeping.
Professor rolled to Cowper's side immediately, lowered his body, and soon noticed the obviously abnormal marks on the grass, and his pupils shrank immediately.
"Quick! Bring your things! Get ready to run!" After experiencing the giant spider, they no longer take everything abnormally on this planet lightly.
Even though they haven't seen anything yet, they decided to leave here immediately.
While escaping, the young man who always bickered with Cowper couldn't help but ask, "What's that?"
"We can't see its existence with the naked eye at all, and can only notice it from the side through the grass that has been trampled off, which shows that it is at least optically completely invisible."
"And the alarms arranged in advance did not work, indicating that our existing detection methods cannot take effect on it."
"This is obviously a mysterious existence that has surpassed our technological level. Is it the aborigines here? Or other alien visitors? Or is it an ancient unknown creation?"
Copper quickly expressed his thoughts, and at the same time, he had already conceived an alien creature that could be completely invisible.
Professors on the run are also thinking about the existing possibilities from their decades of experience, but none of them can match the current situation.
So he couldn't help but look back, and this look made his heart beat violently.
But I saw a mysterious thick black mist gushing out from all over the mountains and plains, sweeping towards them overwhelmingly, and in the black mist, some kind of terrifying unknown existence could be faintly seen rolling and surging in it.
The well-informed old professor showed a rare expression of fear.
Life is always afraid of the unknown, if what appears in front of him is just some kind of hideous animal, then he will not feel fear from the bottom of his heart.
After all, no matter how ugly they are, they are still living things, organic, and recognizable.
But now this kind of black mist that seems to be able to swallow everything is completely beyond his cognition, and the old professor who has maintained a materialistic worldview all his life feels confusion for a long time.
"Hurry up! We must find a place to hide!" He suddenly yelled without grace, his old face was full of fear and ferocity, it was hard to imagine an old professor showing such an expression.
The rest of the people were also taken aback by his strange appearance. When they looked back, they all showed fear in unison, wishing to spend their entire lives on running away.
But how can you find a safe hiding place here?
In the end, everyone turned their attention to an ancient ruin not far away.
Countless wreckage and ruins were buried deep under the soil layer, and surrounded the huge building in the center.
It looks like an upside-down pyramid, with the tip inserted into the ground, and a door to pass through is left at the root.
The broad tower looks at the sky, not only like a platform for docking spaceships, but also like a beacon, waiting for the arrival of the guided.
"—I can only go there! No matter how many dangers there are inside the ruins, we must survive the present!"
Everyone understood this truth, and finally ran into the ruins before the black mist caught up with them.
I saw that the originally menacing black mist seemed a little afraid of this place, and the speed slowed down a lot in an instant, but it seemed unwilling to let them go like this, and was eager to enter the range of the ruins.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, stepped up their pace even more, and finally disappeared quickly at the entrance of the ruins.
The black mist hesitated for a long time, and after confirming that no one came out, it slowly dissipated in the sky.
During this process, a figure stepped on the grass, starting from the feet, and gradually escaped from the invisible state.
This figure is a synthetic human who has installed the "all-seeing invisibility" technology and approached quietly, and his controller Li Wenyuan also expressed emotion:
"... Tsk tsk, this technology is really easy to use. I didn't expect to be able to create such a wide range of holographic projections. The living standards of people in that era were really unimaginable..."
Of course, what he's referring to is not "all-seeing invisibility", but another technology on the technology tree.
【Mobile Holographic Theater】
【Technology level: 3】
【Introduction: Popular holographic technology has pushed entertainment to a new level. At this point, everyone can create their own fantasy empire]
【Possible Technology: Planetary Holographic Network (1.2%); Holographic Temple (0.9%); Mirror Universe Project (0%)】
The overwhelming black mist just now was actually all illusions created by projections.
With such a realistic projection, it is difficult to detect the abnormality without personally experiencing it, and it is no wonder that the group of aliens were easily scared away.
"The ruins they entered are here..."
Looking at the huge inverted pyramid, Li Wenyuan also showed interest in his eyes.
He has explored most of the relics on the planet with synthetic humans, and there are some extremely dangerous relics among them.
The inverted pyramid in front of him is considered a relatively safe one, at least Li Wenyuan did not encounter danger inside, but he also failed to find anything.
But he didn't believe that there was really nothing inside, it must be because he didn't find a suitable way to find it.
There is nothing in the ruins, so can it still be called a ruin?
"Maybe... this group of aliens can bring me a little surprise?" The synthetic man's eyes flickered, and he turned back to the invisible state again, and then entered the ruins.
