Chapter 348: Meteorite
Lin Mingzhen's eyes were immersed in the ancient murals, and he seemed to be trying to decipher something from them. He pointed to a corner of the mural, where an exaggerated triangle was painted, which looked like a burning meteorite.
"Look, this triangle, I guess it might be a meteorite." Lin Mingzhen said, his eyes focused and full of excitement.
We all got close to the mural and looked at it carefully. Although the mural is old, we can still see that the triangle is glowing with colorful lights, which is dizzying.
"Based on the content of the mural, I guess that a meteorite may have fallen here a long time ago. This meteorite may have some special energy, attracting a large number of people to mine it. However, it didn't take long for the mining people to start There are some abnormal situations." Lin Mingzhen pointed to a group of people painted on the mural. They behaved strangely, lying on the ground, walking on four legs, and some were even attacking themselves.
When I looked at the mural, I couldn't help but feel a little chill in my heart. I imagined that scene, a group of people lying on the ground, roaring, attacking each other, and even hurting themselves. This scene is undoubtedly more terrifying than the mural in front of me.
"They may have come into contact with that meteorite and were affected by that special energy, which led to mental disorder." Lin Mingzhen's voice was filled with sadness, "From a historical perspective, human beings are always full of curiosity about unknown things. But they ignored the fear of the unknown.”
I looked at Lin Mingzhen, and his expression at this moment suddenly made me a little surprised. Because I had never seen him with such an expression. He usually always looked carefree, as if he didn't care. However, at this moment, his eyes looked so deep. , seems to have experienced thousands of disasters.
His words made me think deeply. Indeed, human beings are always full of curiosity about unknown things, and always want to explore, discover, and study. However, we often ignore one thing, that is the horror of the unknown. We don’t know, What consequences will those unknown things bring to us?
Looking at the mentally disturbed people on the murals, I couldn't help but shudder. It was probably their curiosity about the unknown that led to their own tragedies.
"So, we must be careful." Lin Mingzhen's voice broke my thoughts. He looked at me, his eyes full of seriousness, "Unknown things are always full of danger. We must treat them with caution to avoid stepping into the footsteps of our predecessors. trap."
"The content of the next mural is even more bizarre." Lin Mingzhen's voice became calmer.
The mural depicts an extremely beautiful scene. Lush trees and blooming flowers all show their unparalleled vitality under the bright sunshine. However, this seemingly prosperous scene hides something hidden. Endless horror.
Plants began to grow wildly, as if they were suddenly injected with powerful vitality. Animals began to mutate, and some could even make human voices, lure people out, and then eat them.
"Pay attention to this." Lin Mingzhen pointed to a beautiful and strange pattern, which was a colorful forest.
"This is an extinct plant, we call it a 'giant tree'." Lin Mingzhen looked at the mural intently, his voice calm but full of solemnity, "They grow very fast and can grow to dozens of trees overnight. Meters high and with lush branches and leaves, they can block the sun. But their existence is a threat to other creatures."
His fingertips slid over the animals under the giant tree on the mural. The images of those animals were distorted, as if they were struggling in pain. "The animals began to mutate, and some could even imitate human voices, lure people out, and then eat them."
Dropped. This is a kind of creature that has been changed by meteorites. They are dangerous and crazy."
I looked at the murals, and a chill rose from the soles of my feet and enveloped my whole body. I looked at the distorted animals and imagined them struggling in pain, being changed, and becoming crazy.
The scenes in the murals became more and more chaotic, with all kinds of bizarre plants vying with each other, as if the world had been distorted. I looked at the animals swallowed by the huge plants and imagined the horrific scene.
Lin Mingzhen's words continued. He introduced those extinct plants, their growth speed, and their characteristics. I was surprised and frightened while listening to his explanation. This kind of plant should not have been so huge. They were caused by meteorites.
The impact has become so huge.
"The situation was so serious at that time. Didn't the rulers take any measures?" Zhang Geng looked at the mural and asked doubtfully.
Lin Mingzhen looked at him and smiled bitterly, "Mr. Zhang, you need to know that the era depicted in this mural should be much earlier than the era recorded in the history books we know, probably before the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. Their civilization
We cannot accurately estimate the extent. But one thing is certain, they managed to solve this problem in their own way."
Lin Mingzhen pointed to a section of the mural, which depicted a grand tomb, with the colorful meteorite painted in the center of the tomb.
"They built this tomb to seal the meteorite to prevent it from continuing to affect the surrounding creatures." Lin Mingzhen explained, "At least they thought this would solve the problem."
After hearing this, Zhang Geng's face turned pale, "So, are we near that meteorite now?"
Lin Mingzhen nodded, "It seems so."
Zhang Geng looked at him in horror, "Then are these protective suits we wear really effective? If it's like the murals, will we also mutate?"
Lin Mingzhen looked at him and smiled slightly, "I can't guarantee this one hundred percent. But at least so far, we haven't had any abnormalities."
Zhang Geng's question made everyone solemn. They looked at the murals and imagined that distant era, when creatures mutated wildly and humans were panicked. In the end, they had no choice but to seal the meteorites.
"So, we must be more careful and avoid touching everything in this place as much as possible." Lin Mingzhen's voice echoed in the empty cave.
Everyone was silent and filled with fear. Although we all wore protective clothing, our hearts were full of uneasiness in front of those murals.
"Don't be afraid, we have protective clothing." I tried to comfort them, "As long as we are careful, we should be fine."
