"You're going to let me go now?" The woman looked at Beidou unceremoniously. Her gaze was even more aggressive than Beidou's.
Beidou hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"My name is Daoliu. As for where I'm from, I'm from Earth."
After saying this, Dao Liu stood up from the stretcher, grabbed the bag next to him, and jumped out of the ambulance's rear door which was still open.
This time, Beidou just followed her out of the car but did not continue to stop her. Dao Liu looked back at Beidou and was a little surprised to see that he did not intend to stop her, but he soon disappeared.
"Is this okay? Just let her go."
There were many suspicious points about the woman, even Ling had noticed them. She didn't believe that Beidou hadn't discovered them.
"Is she from Earth?" Beidou asked.
Ling also nodded. Although the woman felt a little strange, she could feel that the other person was indeed from Earth.
"That's enough. Our enemies are alien invaders. As long as they are from Earth, they should be protected by the TAC team." Beidou said firmly.
"If we question everything, then one day, we will become unable to believe in anything. So before that, I want to persist in trusting others. Even if there are misunderstandings and contradictions, as long as we maintain our enthusiasm, we will be able to turn enemies into friends. I think this is more important."
Perhaps this idea is too naive. In the Kingdom of Light, Brother Zoffy often warned Ace about this. But Ace always believed that only by treating others sincerely can you gain their sincerity.
Beidou thinks so too.
No one is destined to be an enemy, but if you draw a line between "friend and enemy" in your mind from the beginning, then the possibility of peace will be eliminated.
Even if this sincerity was betrayed, at least he didn't want to be the first to betray others.
Ling couldn't tell whether Beidou's credulity was good or bad, but such Beidou was indeed kind. Of course, Ling also knew that once she really offended Beidou and became his enemy, the end would definitely not be good. Those super beasts that were chopped into pieces and could no longer speak were the best proof.
"By the way, Reiya, you are here to see Professor Kinomoto, right? The professor is currently in the Yamanashi Prefectural Hospital. This ambulance belongs to that hospital and can take you there."
The doctor was still waiting in the car, and Beidou felt a little embarrassed to have made the other person go for nothing. However, since he was already here, it would be convenient to take Ling back with him.
"Yeah, but if Uncle Fujitaka is alright, I won't bother him."
She just came to inquire about the professor's situation and reassure Sakura.
The ambulance left without picking up anyone. The wind in the forest was a little cold at night, and the air was damp.
"That pyramid, are you going to investigate it?"
"Of course, after daybreak, the TAC team will have professional equipment coming over."
It looks like it was something left over from a long time ago. That pyramid might even be older than the ancient Egyptian pyramids which have a history of more than 7,000 years.
Prehistoric super ancient civilization? I didn't expect such relics to be preserved. The TAC team will investigate first. If it is confirmed that there is no threat, the archaeological team will explore and study it next - of course, it is not a university archaeological team, but a more professional academic institution.
"If the investigation yields any results, please let me know."
"That's fine. But is Reiya interested in this, too?" The results of the investigation were confidential to the TAC team, but if the target was Reiya, Beidou would certainly not keep it secret. What surprised him was Reiya's attitude.
Even if the ruins are investigated, it is not certain that there are super beasts. Although the Yabo people said that there are super beasts left on the earth, it should have nothing to do with the ruins that existed thousands of years ago.
I feel that most of the boys are interested in relics, history and other things - just to have something to talk about when they gossip or brag.
"Well, because I think it might be a civilization that once existed on Earth, so I always feel a little concerned about it."
It turned out to be the case.
Beidou thought of Nongmalt, and he was not sure whether Ling knew about it. Or if there were other civilizations in the history of the earth.
“Have other prehistoric civilizations ever existed on Earth?”
"Ha, Brother Beidou is the second person who asked me this question in the past two days."
"Has anyone else asked?"
"Yes, it's my friend Sakura, her winter vacation homework."
Winter vacation homework... Is winter vacation homework so advanced in primary schools now? Beidou was a little surprised.
"I don't know about that kind of thing either."
"Eh? You don't know? I thought Gaia would definitely know."
"I'm not Gaia, I'm just an ordinary fourth-grade elementary school student." Ling rolled her eyes at him, then said goodbye and left.
Beidou looked at the girl who disappeared using teleportation and claimed that she was "not an ordinary elementary school student from Gaia", and felt that it was not convincing.
Chapter 168 Exploring the Pyramid
wow——
The fixed ladder was thrown down from the top of the cliff. Konno, Yoshimura and Yamanaka all hung up safety ropes and prepared to use the ladder to climb down the deep pit.
It is worth mentioning that perhaps the red smoke in the pyramid has been exhausted. After the sun rose, no more smoke continued to emerge. Over the whole night, the red fog that had previously condensed and made it difficult for people to see the road ahead had almost dissipated.
The pungent smell was gone in the air, leaving only the feeling of negative oxygen ions produced by lightning ionizing the air after a thunderstorm.
Even so, the three of them still carried gas masks in their backpacks just in case.
"This hole is too deep." Konno glanced down. It was more than ten stories high. If he fell, he would definitely die. Even though he had been trained in the TAC team for many years, he felt a little guilty.
Because the cave entrance is not very big, if you use a helicopter, it is easy to scrape against the rock wall. Once the propeller scrapes, the aircraft will be destroyed and the people will die.
So the TAC team chose to climb using a soft ladder.
It feels a bit like extreme sport rock climbing, but for the TAC team members, this is nothing.
"By the way, Beidou rescued someone from down here yesterday? How did he get down and back up? I remember there shouldn't be any climbing equipment on the Gaara."
"Because Beidou has the spirit of never giving up, this is the perseverance of a man!" Yamanaka waved his fist.
No, what does this have to do with perseverance? It's totally unscientific, right?
Shan Zhong didn't wait for him. After making sure the safety rope was secured, he climbed down the ladder first.
Five minutes later, Yamanaka's feet touched the hollow ground, followed by Konno and Yoshimura.
Contrary to expectations, the bottom of the cave was very dry, and the overall structure was weathered sand and stone, which made a rustling sound when stepped on.
The base of the pyramid occupies most of the space. It is dark and dense. Although the size can be determined by visual observation from above the cave, standing in front of the tower at this moment, I feel the silent oppression. The contrast between smallness and grandeur, as well as the heaviness brought by ancient time.
Looking around, there was nothing else here, no animals or plants.
"Wait, Konno, don't be so careless!"
Yamanaka shouted, because Konno had walked straight forward and knocked on the wall of the pyramid with his hand.
"Not sure if this thing is dangerous yet!"
"Ah, it doesn't matter. This ancient building, could it be the enemy's base? Could a super beast pop out of it? Haha." Konno laughed, "But is this really a pyramid? The tower body seems to be made of metal. How could there be such a large piece of metal in the past?"
Not to mention the past, even now, it is not an easy task to build a pure metal building that is dozens of meters high.
"There are no doors or windows, not even a crack. Is this thing solid?"
"Let's test its ingredients first."
Yoshimura took out a simple cutter from his backpack and prepared to cut off some metal debris to take back for testing. The sound of the cutter echoed in the cave, and the huge noise made Konno and Yamanaka cover their ears. Sparks flew everywhere.
However, after a moment, Yoshimura stopped.
"How is this going?"
"What's wrong, Yoshimura?"
"The cutter is broken! This metal can't be cut. Look, there's no trace at all!"
Sure enough, the gears of the cutter had been completely worn out, but there was not even a trace left on the walls of the pyramid.
The three of them looked at each other in bewilderment. This metal was probably stronger than any alloy on Earth. And it wasn't just one piece, but a huge mountain.
There is no way out now, this prehistoric civilization is too scary. Humans can't even take samples?
"The scan results of the spectral analysis are out."
Half a day later, at the TAC team headquarters, Dr. Kiji came with an analysis report.
Because the pyramid could not be cut to take samples, the base sent Nan Xizi to deliver a spectrometer to conduct on-site analysis.
"Let me first state the conclusion. This is a metal that does not exist on Earth."
"does not exist?"
"Yes, I'm not talking about the alloy formula, but the metal element itself is not in the periodic table we know."
"So, I can understand that it comes from outer space?" asked Captain Long.
"You could say that. Its physical and chemical properties are very special and cannot be produced naturally on Earth. However, although it is impossible to take samples from the pyramid itself, our investigation of the surrounding environment revealed that this relic does have a very long history. It is likely to be more than 10,000 years old."
This is a length of time that humans cannot imagine. Ancient Egypt, the oldest of the four ancient civilizations, has only relics that can be traced back to more than 7,000 years ago. Before that, there was no record of civilization at all, and the only evidence of human existence was the unearthed bone fossils.
"Wait, if I remember correctly, the one recorded in the archives was also ten thousand years ago?"
"Yes, the sealed Omega archives contain records of the Nongmalte people. They should have lived on the ground at a similar time."
"So this is a relic left by the Nongmalt people?"
"Perhaps, but according to the records of contact made by the Ultra Guard at the time, there is no record of the Nongmalt people building pyramids. Their architectural style is not like this."
Of all the things we eat, drink, live and travel, perhaps only buildings can survive thousands of years later, so architectural style can often be used as a symbol to identify civilizations.
"So, this means that this is another super ancient civilization?" Captain Long rubbed his chin, feeling a little headache.
What is the history of the Earth? What was it like before humans?
There was no one to ask. Captain Long had a little girl in his mind, but he quickly put it aside. Now it was humanity's own problem.
The Earth is clearly the homeland of mankind, but mankind still knows too little about it.
Because human history is too short, the evolution of any species takes at least tens of millions of years.
For example, dinosaurs evolved from small dinosaurs like the Coelophysis in the Triassic period to powerful dinosaurs like the Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops in the Jurassic period. This evolution took 100 million years.
Species called dinosaurs lived on Earth for more than 200 million years until they became extinct in the late Cretaceous period.
But humans have created today's scientific civilization in just a few thousand years.
It's better to say that I'm like a nouveau riche than to say that I won the lottery jackpot overnight. There is no struggle at all, and it feels like I've lost a lot of time.
"Could it be that we humans are the ones who have the problem?"
For some reason, Captain Long had this thought in his mind.
The sunlight outside the window was a little dazzling, and Sakura opened her eyes blearily.
