Chapter 11: Looking for a way out

The two couldn't open their eyes due to the strong light, and instinctively raised their hands to cover their eyes, but to no avail.
Fortunately, after a moment, the turquoise strong light went dark on its own, and the gunsmith and John opened their eyes at almost the same time and saw an incredible change.
The environment they are in has changed. The original square metal room is now cylindrical. The same black walls, murals and text that transmit light, the only difference is the shape of the room.
"What did you do just now?" John asked.
The Gunner replied, "I found a symbol that resembled a handprint. I tried to put my palm on it, and then the light behind that symbol grew brighter ..."
John said: "That's a switch that can change the shape of the room?"
Gunsmith said: "No ... the room hasn't changed, but the creatures in the room have been moved ... I guess this is the secret we moved again after falling into the bottom of the river." He observed and looked around, then headed towards Walk around the wall.
"Look, this cylindrical room also has such a handprint symbol." The gunsmith squatted down and looked at the symbol. "It is smaller than an adult's palm and looks like a child ..." He paused: " What reminds you? "
John's expression changed slightly: "That black humanoid?"
"Yes, and you see that this height is similar to the height that the creature can reach when standing, and we have to bend over if we come across it." Gunsmith said.
所以 "So?" John looked at the gunsmith, expecting the other person to give an answer.
Gunsmith said: "Even if you look at me with sincerity, I can't give you an exact explanation, I can only speculate ... Maybe the Olmec civilization in your mouth is indeed related to aliens? Maybe this AD The civilization of the first thousand years is actually far more developed than our modern people speculate. They did not perish, but survived in a subterranean world after encountering some major disaster or change. The black we saw Creature, maybe one of the survivors. "
John listened to this expression, with several expressions, and finally could only reply: "It seems that you may be more successful in writing a dissertation to compete for the Nobel Prize ..."
Gunsmith said: "I just guess casually, but based on the situation that the black creature secretly followed us, my speculation should be more reliable. The plane I was flying in and your adventure team killed, in the final analysis, It is caused by some unknown magnetic field interference.
God knows when the black creature you saw in the afternoon followed us, maybe it was tracking you long before you and your team members were caught by cannibals; or maybe he crawled out of the spire of my ruined ruins Maybe there is more than one creature ...
The only thing I can be sure of is that the start of these relics is something that happened in the near future. Unfortunately, we happened to catch up with us. The creature in this relic now does not want us to leave the rainforest above us for some purpose. It may even be ... it wants to attract us to the underground world. "
John thought for a while and said, "Assuming that your conclusions are true, there is a prehistoric high-level creature here that fell asleep thousands of years ago and only recently woke up. If I were them, before returning to the ground I will first grab a few specimens and study the current level of human civilization and evolution on the planet before making any calculations. "
"It makes sense, compared with the indigenous people wearing grass blades to eat human flesh, you and I seem to have more research value." The gunsmith has now moved to the other side of the room: "There are also handprint symbols here, and there are three in the entire room. Such marks, I guess, will be transmitted to different rooms according to different agencies. "
John came in spirit: "In other words, we have a chance to go out ?!"
Gunsmith said: "But the problem now is that we don't understand the text in the room, we don't know which mark is pressed and where it leads to, and after the transfer, we can only rely on the shape of the room to determine whether we have been there before. In case there are tens of thousands of rooms here and many of the shapes are repetitive, we may never leave. "
The two of them fell into silence. For a while, they could not think of a good countermeasure. In fact, they also understood that this was a waste of time. The final countermeasure was nothing more than pressing the organ continuously, expecting to be transmitted to the outside once.
After a while, John said again: "Have you actually noticed that these rooms have no function at all. Except for the murals and words, empty, only the museum will be built like this, but what is the meaning of the different shapes?"
The Gunsmith sighed: "Maybe this civilization has exceeded our cognition too much, just like you let the indigenous people in the jungle take the elevator. Before he entered, he would only wonder about the role of this big iron box, and the elevator stopped After opening the door on other floors, the changes in the environment in front of him also became a mystery to him, huh ... It really looks like the situation we are facing now. "
John stood up and walked to one of the switches: "No matter, sit back and wait for up to two days, just when I am an indigenous who entered the elevator, press all of the dozens of keys, and sooner or later the elevator will open The door. "He said, struck on the handprint-shaped symbol.
The turquoise light turned on again, engulfing the two, and after nearly ten seconds, the surroundings returned to normal brightness.
This time the room was zigzag, like a zigzag corridor. The gunner and John stayed in the middle. They searched again. The room was empty, except for the murals and text. Nine places.
Gunsmith said: "Strange technology, as long as one person presses the switch, the creatures in the entire room will be sent to another space, and our clothes and belongings will also move along ... Right! Try it, we They pressed the fingerprints in two different places at the same time to see what would happen? "
John wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "I suddenly thought of being a fly ..."
The Musketeer said, "Well ... when I didn't say it."
Since then, John has taken over the work of the fingerprints. I do n’t know how the movement between these rooms is, anyway, they have never encountered a room of the same shape, so they have not returned to the previous room. Every time Press the handprint symbol twice, UU reading books www.uukanshu.com will be sent to a new place.
In this way, the gunsmith counted in his mind. A total of twenty-nine rooms were transferred. The time may have passed a few hours, maybe only half an hour. They had no watch on them and could not see the sun. It was dusk when they fell into the river. At this moment It may be late at night, or it may be early morning. In short, the two of them have already completely lost their sense of time.
At first, when they came to a room, they looked for every handprint symbol on the wall, but then it stopped. There was no regular pattern for the number of symbols. The minimum number was three, and the maximum number was nine. In any case, They were all teleported to places they had never been.
The musketeers are a bit strange. Suppose it is late at night, and they have not entered the water since noon. At most, they have sipped a few mouthfuls of river water to support their stomach. Why hasn't there been any fatigue or hunger after so long? Thinking about it, it must be related to this ruin. Even if the temperature, humidity, and air quality are good here, when people should be hungry, they must always be hungry. After more than 20 hours, they are always lacking. There ... The expression of the gunsmith suddenly became strange, and he suddenly realized that he didn't even have the sense of the need to use the toilet, which was strange.
When he was about to ask John if this was the case, there was another blue light before him, and before he opened his eyes completely, John called out, "Look! Charles! It is a passage!"
The gunsmith restored his sight, and found that he was in a straight corridor. This passage leads to a very far distance. At first glance, there is no head at all, and the murals and text have been replaced by two turquoise light tracks. Any handprint symbol.
John said excitedly, "Do you think this is the way out?"
The musketeer's expression didn't look very excited, he just calmly replied, "I don't know until I go down."
