Chapter 276： ‘Portal’

The relic area investigated by William and Halsey covers a very large area.

Because of the huge masonry on the ground, it was not submerged by bushes, grasses and other plants. Only some tenacious weeds emerged from the cracks in the stone bricks.

The buildings are mostly one-story houses. The stone walls of the houses have hieroglyphs that have never been seen before, as well as murals expressing different meanings.

The drainage system in the ruins is perfect. Even in this rainy and humid jungle, there is no excessive moss or siltation of rain.

According to the measurement of the security aircraft (Strike MS), it is concluded that the area of ​​the ruins is about 120,000 square meters, and the buildings are neatly arranged.

is located in the most central place in the entire area, is a pyramid similar to the Mayan civilization.

And this pyramid is also the focus of this survey. At this time, under the protection of the Blue Team and a large number of Marines, the research team led by Halsey is investigating.

As for William and Serena and others, it is the southern position of the pyramid to conduct investigations.

.

William, holding a pulse rifle, walked slowly on the stone brick square of the ruins, looking at the murals and hieroglyphs.

can't help sighing to Serena who is behind him: "It seems that the alien civilization on this planet should be very similar to our human beings, and they have developed their own language and writing."

"Well, and I also compared these words with Mayan words and found that there is a 43% similarity.

I think the civilization of this planet should have had contact with the ancient civilizations of our planet, at least with the Mayan civilization of America. "

Serena, who was copying the murals and text, gave her point of view after hearing William's sigh.

"Ah, who made the Spanish gang burn all the Mayan books, or it should let us learn more about ancient civilizations."

William thinks of the colonists in the 16th century, especially the Spanish bishop Dinago de Randa, and he will inevitably be a little annoyed.

The only remaining frescoes and texts of Maya can be impenetrable to modern scholars, not to mention that Maya had a large number of books before.

Unfortunately, Mayan books were burned in large quantities in 1562 and could never be reproduced.

"Boss!"

At this time, a paratrooper in charge of **** reported to William Hui in the newsletter: "We found a very suspicious entrance."

While reporting, the paratroopers also shared their locations and marked them on the map on the helmet screens of nearby personnel.

"Okay, I'll come right away."

William used the communication to reply and rushed to the position of the paratrooper with Serena.

Following the route calculated by the individual soldier computer, the two left the spacious street of the building complex and crossed an alley, and finally came to the location of the paratrooper.

Behind the paratrooper reporting, there is a gate that can be entered by four people side by side. It should be the entrance to the underground of the ruins.

Later, other paratroopers in charge of William and Serena also rushed here one after another.

William walked to the entrance, and without turning on the night vision function, he could only see the darkness.

Upon seeing this, William shared the location here to the Mammoth and said to Halsey in the newsletter:

"Catherine, we found a suspected entrance to the underground. Would you like to come and take a look?"

"I also have new discoveries here, so I can't get out of it for the time being, eh, by the way, isn't Serena following you? It would be great if she helped me copy the data."

"Okay." After hearing Halsey's words, William turned on the night vision and scanning functions, walked into the entrance and ordered:

"Everyone, follow me."

"Yes."

Relying on the external lighting provided by the individual equipment and the night vision function of the mask, William can clearly see the downward steps.

After going down for about half a minute, everyone came to the underground of the ruins.

Through the pulse scanning function, it is found that this place is extremely spacious, and the position in the center of this underground space seems to correspond to the pyramid on the surface.

There is a long bridge directly in front of the entrance where they are.

On both sides of the 　　 bridge, there are equal proportions and equal numbers of human-shaped statues. This is also the first time Umbrella has discovered a human-shaped statue on Kepler 22-b.

William approached a statue and looked at it through the night vision system of his mask.

The statue of the "person" is standing, holding a spear similar to the earth, and has armor covering the whole body.

Due to the occlusion of the helmet, William could not see the ‘human’ face more clearly, but vaguely felt that the other’s facial features were similar to human beings.

It seems that the higher creatures on this planet really have some kind of relationship with their human beings.

William used his individual camera to record what he saw, and then he continued to lead the crowd in depth.

When they came to the bottom of the pyramid, they found that it was a large platform with some kind of weird ‘circle ○’ right in the center.

What surprised everyone present was that the ‘circle’ did not stand on the stone bricks of the platform, but floated at the center of the platform like an anti-gravity stand.

Just as William rebutted the words of UNSC scientific researchers before, one cannot rely on building materials, and he arbitrarily believes that the other party’s civilization does not have ‘high-tech’.

At least in the major relics of the earth, there is no technological device like a ‘circle’ for the time being found.

"Boss, the opponent's anti-gravity system is completely different from the Reaper civilization that we have adopted."

At this time, Serena, who was standing next to William, walked slowly to the edge of the platform and looked at the pool and said:

"The water pool is connected to a certain river in the jungle, and the platform on which we are standing seems to be able to generate enough electricity through the flow of water to make their anti-gravity device effective."

"Only on the flow of water?" William also walked slowly to Serena's side looked at the plain water pool and fell into contemplation.

"Click!"

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from behind them, as if someone had triggered some kind of mechanism.

turned around and looked.

I saw a paratrooper who was looking around. His left foot stepped on a stone brick, and the stone brick instantly sank after feeling the force.

"Om~Om---Om~!"

Then, the ring in the center of the platform began to rotate clockwise, and its speed gradually increased.

When the rotation speed reaches the peak, it also emits a dazzling blue light, illuminating the entire underground space.

Sudden changes made William and all the paratroopers have to turn off the night vision function to observe the circle.

"Boss, this, I..." The paratrooper who accidentally touched the mechanism looked at William and Serena and said, "Did you do something wrong?"

"No." Serena slowly approached the radiant ring, and whispered to the paratrooper:

"This device is not some kind of weapon. The mechanism you just touched just activated it."

When the ring remained stable, Serena, with her pupils emitting a faint blue light, said to William: "Boss, this seems to be a teleportation device."

{Everyone, the author still asks for a leave tomorrow, school is about to start, I need to go to school to do some things~}
