Chapter 1243: Going in circles?
Lin Ran walked in the middle of the team, shining his flashlight on the houses on both sides from time to time.
But I kept muttering in my heart, always feeling that something was wrong.
According to common sense, there are only two possibilities for being trapped in the mountains.
One is a landslide, and the other is a landslide.
But both natural disasters hit very quickly, leaving no time for people to evacuate.
Unless it was a foreseeable disaster like Chernobyl, it would be possible to conduct an emergency evacuation just minutes before the outbreak.
Natural disasters do not give time for response. Under normal circumstances, even if the house is not seriously damaged, it is impossible to see the bodies of any victims.
Could it be that this city had been abandoned before encountering the disaster?
But the utensils on the table are nothing.
Walking in the dark tunnel, everyone has their own thoughts.
They have their own guesses about the strange situation here.
Lin Ran had a vague feeling that this was another strange tomb.
The previous ones were all strange tombs on the ground. The mechanisms and guards inside were beyond his understanding. They were phenomena that could not be explained by science in the 21st century.
Now, they are at the bottom of the lake.
In case of danger, there is no chance to escape.
However, Lin Ran did not express his worries.
Under such great pressure, it is better not to continue to put pressure on them. As long as you are fully prepared, at least you will be able to protect yourself.
I didn’t expect that a remote tribe would have such a big secret hidden nearby.
Is this the reason why they are unwilling to relocate?Just like the Holy Mountain, the villagers in the Holy Mountain are all descendants of the tombkeepers of the royal family inside.
Just when he was puzzled, Wang Jinpeng seemed to see something.
He pointed to a thatched house next to him and said, "Brother Lin, this house looks familiar."
Lin Ran originally wanted to complain about Wang Jinpeng. The houses here were all similar in structure, so it was normal for them to look familiar.
But following his fingers, I did find that this house had obvious signs of being turned over by them.
Others noticed this too and were puzzled.
Lin Ran asked everyone to stop, looked around, and then placed a stone on the ground.
He took a deep breath and said, "We might be spinning in circles."
"Spinning around in circles?" Lao Hei was a little confused, "Aren't we always following the direction of the flashlight? The flashlight is pointing forward."
Lin Ran smiled and said, "The flashlight is based on the direction we are facing, but we can make an assumption."
Lin Ran put the flashlight on the ground so that it would not change direction as their bodies deflected.
However, this experiment failed.
Because the flashlight's irradiation distance is limited, unless there are many flashlights, it is impossible to see whether the tunnel is circular.
However, they can still take the test through other methods.
The stone Lin Ran had erected on the ground earlier served as an obvious mark.
"Let's keep going forward," Lin Ran said.
Anyway, moving inside doesn't consume a lot of energy.
As they continued to move this time, other people began to pay attention to their surroundings.
Although the houses in the ancient city all look similar.
However, there are still some differences in the layout and the small flaws on the outside.
Everyone feels something is different.
After walking for about 20 minutes, an unexpected scene appeared.
A stone was placed on the ground, and the way it was placed was exactly the layout that Lin Ran had specially adjusted previously.
They are back where they were.
This is not good news.
Because if they are spinning in circles, it means that it is impossible for them to go back.
"It's evil." Lao Hei reached out to find a candle and wanted to test it.
But they came down by diving without any tools at all.
Except for the throwing knife he strapped to his leg at all times.
They're already trapped here.
"How about we try to go back?" Wang Jinpeng felt that if we went back, we might find something different.
However, Lin Ran felt that it was most likely in vain.
Lao Hei said seriously at this time: "We should have encountered a ghost."
The so-called ghost hitting the wall means that the ghost covered his eyes after being contaminated with dirty things and could only spin in circles.
The surrounding scenery is changing in my eyes, but it is actually just an illusion.
No matter which direction they went, they would just go around in circles.
Lao Hei is a relatively traditional country man, and he still firmly believes in the previous routine.
But Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning have been following Lin Ran for so long, and they are already used to it.
"Is it the same as in the tomb of King Zao?" Wang Jinpeng asked.
They were also trapped in a secret room at that time, but the secret room was a loop structure.
Moreover, the designer was particularly insidious and created a double loop.
Lin Ran still found out, so they were not as anxious as Lao Hei, but waited for Lin Ran to come up with a solution.
Everyone stopped. It would be useless to continue moving forward. It was better to conserve their strength.
Lao Hei looked a little nervous and said in a panic: "I felt something was wrong before."
"Shh." Wang Jinpeng made a silencing gesture.
Because, Lin Ran was already holding his chin and starting to think.
Others give him space when he thinks.
As a young man in the 21st century, Lin Ran naturally does not believe in ghosts beating the wall.
His first thought was whether there was some trap to mislead them.
It has calmed down now.
The others all depended on him, he had brought them here and he had to get them out safely.
Lin Ran began to recall the details along the way.
The houses are similar, with slightly different layouts, but from the overall structure, the design is too unified.
When building a house in ancient times, there were no professional real estate agents.
They were all local residents who built their own houses after getting the homestead land.
Each resident’s family situation is different, and the materials used are naturally different. How can it be so unified and tidy?
Moreover, there were some houses that they turned over, although nothing was found inside.
But it still gave him a strange feeling.
What's so strange about it?
Lin Ran thought carefully.
It would be great if there was a compass. Unless the magnetic field underneath is chaotic, you can definitely find the right path.
This was the first time that Wang Jinpeng saw Lin Ran thinking for so long.
He touched his belly. In order to dive, he actually didn't eat much breakfast.
Feeling a little hungry now.
So he couldn't wait any longer and said to Lin Ran: "Brother Lin, if you can't think of a way, why don't we try in another direction?"
Wang Jinpeng is a realistic person. He will not be scared to death, but he will be starved to death.
If he couldn't think of another way, he would have no choice but to fish for water plants and eat them.
