"Open?" Dean was stunned.
Eureka, who reacted later, heard the mechanical voice and was shocked. He pulled Dean's body back a few steps. He looked at the metal instrument vigilantly and shouted, "Who are you? Come out!"
Hearing his words, the blonde woman and the other two were shocked and hurriedly stepped back. They pulled out their weapons and looked at the metal instrument nervously. They didn't expect that there was a "person" hiding inside, but they couldn't see any clues at all. It was terrible!
"A person?" Dean was stunned for a moment and quickly reacted. He felt funny in his heart and relieved at the same time. It seemed that these people didn't understand English and didn't understand the previous words. This was good, so they wouldn't be suspicious of him.
Buzz!
At this moment, the ground under everyone's feet suddenly shook, and the dust on the surrounding walls rustled down.
"No, it's an earthquake!" Eureka's face changed slightly and hurriedly said, "It's going to collapse soon. Leave …" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped and looked at the stone door in front of him, stunned.
Rumble ~!
The gap in the middle of the stone door slowly split open. In the trembling sound of the ground, it gradually opened to both sides. Thick dust rolled out from under the stone door and rushed toward everyone, making them dusty.
Hoo!
Suddenly, like a sigh of the wind, came out of the stone door.
Soon, the stone door disappeared completely and retracted into the walls on both sides. A lot of rubbed stone chips fell from the walls.
In the thick fog of dust, the few of them raised their hands to cover their faces. Squinting their eyes, they peered inside, only to see that the stone door was pitch-black, without the slightest bit of light. It was as if a dark, bloody mouth was waiting for them to enter.
Eureka, the blonde woman, and others were secretly shocked and didn't dare to move.
When Dean saw the open giant door, he was completely shocked. It was really open! Not to mention the fact that there was still energy here, just the opening of this door was too strange!
Could it be that the previous scan was not an iris scan?
However, he was in his father's research institute since he was a child. He was familiar with iris scanning and fingerprint scanning. The previous scan was clearly an iris scan!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Eureka, the blonde woman, and the others next to him. He saw that they were nervous and vigilant, and their muscles were tense, as if they were ready to fight with the previous "person" at any time.
This expression did not seem to be fake.
He recalled the scene of the previous iris scan — Eureka retreated immediately, and the blonde woman and the other two bowed their heads to protect their heads. It seemed that … only he was scanned.
"In other words, it is the first time for them to come here. The door was opened because it scanned me?" Dean was at a loss. Was it related to him? However, he had never been here before. Even before he went into hibernation, he didn't remember that there would be such a thing buried underground.
According to the electronic voice from before, this place seemed to be called the Shelter?
Could it be a place built by the people of the olden era to avoid disaster?
When he was puzzled, the thick fog-like dust gradually settled, revealing the scene inside the stone door. Although it was dark, Dean's dark vision could see without hindrance that there were dozens of human skeletons lying on the ground beside the door!
The skeletons seemed to have decayed long ago, wrapped in old human clothes. Surprisingly, these clothes were relatively intact and had not been eroded too seriously by time.
And the styles of the clothes were various, including dresses, jeans and shirts, long-sleeved shirts and so on.
Dean was stunned. These clothes were the most common clothes of the olden era. Could it be that the skeletons on the ground were ordinary people of the olden era?
"Light the fire." Eureka's voice sounded.
The middle-aged man in the blonde woman's group took out a torch from his backpack, poured kerosene on it, and lit it. The faint fire suddenly dispelled the darkness in front of them. The skeletons all over the ground were reflected in their sight, and their faces changed slightly.
Eureka's eyes flickered slightly. He glanced at the metal instrument beside the stone door and thought that this should be the device to open the ruins.
He turned his head and glanced at Dean, frowning slightly. Did this kid accidentally touch it, or did he already know the use of this device?
"I didn't expect that this is the thing to open the ruins. Brother Eureka, what kind of ruins do you think it is? Are there any treasures in it?" Dean saw Eureka's eyes and immediately showed curiosity and asked him.
Hearing Dean's words, Eureka's eyes flickered, and the doubts in his heart were suddenly dispelled. He thought that even if this kid had a good relationship with Her Highness Aisha, he might not know about the ruins. After all, this was the product of the olden era more than three hundred years ago. Even Her Highness Aisha was not clear about it, let alone him?
"It's not clear yet." Eureka took back his eyes and looked at the dark ruins. He said to the middle-aged man holding the torch, "You, go ahead and lead the way."
The middle-aged man's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "General, I'm not good at defense, I …"
"Just do as I say." Eureka scolded, and then his tone slowed down a little, and he said indifferently, "In my opinion, this should be a treasure ruins. If there are traps in the dangerous ruins, we will be attacked when the door is opened."
The middle-aged man was slightly startled, and he couldn't help but feel moved. But after all, he was a veteran hunter, so he quickly suppressed his greed and thought, In your opinion? How can my life be used as a scapegoat for you just because of your guess?
"General, my perception is relatively weak. If I go ahead and encounter any danger, I'm afraid I won't be able to perceive it in advance. I'm afraid it will harm everyone." The middle-aged man tried to persuade from a different perspective.
When Eureka heard his words, how could he not know what he was thinking? He snorted and said, "I said, there is no danger in here. If you talk more, I'll throw you in directly!"
The middle-aged man's face was ugly. He knew that things couldn't be changed. He secretly gritted his teeth, held the torch high, and slowly stepped into the ruins. Every step he took made him feel like stepping into a death swamp, and he would fall at any time.
Crack crack!
His boots broke the corpses on the ground. The corpses that had lost water were extremely fragile and broke with one step.
Dean silently followed in the middle of the team, keeping a distance from Eureka. Although Eureka's attitude towards him had always been relatively peaceful, and he had the task of protecting him, when the real danger came, it was hard to guarantee that Eureka would not grab him and use him as a scapegoat.
To survive outside the wall, every step had to rely on wisdom.
Soon, all of them entered the ruins.
The middle-aged man stepped out of the pile of corpses at the door and slowly went deeper into the darkness in front of the torch.
Dean glanced around the ruins with his night vision. He found that the inside of the ruins was an extremely spacious circular hall. Corpses could be seen everywhere on the ground. All of them were wearing the clothes of ordinary people from the old era.
In addition to the dozens of skeletons at the entrance, there were even more scattered corpses everywhere in the circular hall. In some corners, there were even hundreds of skeletons piled up, like a mountain of corpses. The densely packed skeletons were wrapped in the clothes of the old era, quietly lying there, their empty eye sockets filled with loneliness.
Seeing these corpses wearing the clothes of the old era, Dean had an indescribable feeling in his heart, like sadness, but also like loneliness. The memories of the old era hidden in the depths of his mind slowly emerged in front of him. However, perhaps it was too long, so that he suddenly felt that what emerged in his mind was only a somewhat vague steel jungle city.
And the faces of his father, mother, and sister.
In addition, he felt that the impression of other things was a little vague.
Had it been so long that it had been forgotten?
"These corpses, are they the people of the old era? How can there be so many?" The blonde woman looked at the corpses around her, among which there were some broken hands and half bones scattered on the ground. It was the first time for her to see a group of corpses from the old era, and she had a strong sense of shock.
"The bodies of these people from the old era seem to be very fragile." The young man on the other side said. He did not avoid stepping on the ribs on the chest of a skeleton, did not choose other footholds, and did not care about the objects under his feet. "Even if they have been dead for three hundred years, the bones are too powder. I heard that people like us, some of whom have special abilities, have been dead for hundreds of years, and their bones are still as hard as steel. These corpses are at most rubbed with flour."
"In any era, there are weak and strong, and these should be the weak." Eureka said indifferently. He turned his head and looked around, frowning. It was too quiet here, so quiet that there was no sound. Could it be that there were no living things in it at all?
Dean heard the words of these people and took a look at the corpses piled up around him. He was basically sure that this was just a shelter built before the disaster broke out. This could also be seen from the corpses on the ground. Most of these corpses were women and children. It was not a valuable sealed place to hide old technological weapons.
He was a little disappointed in his heart, but not too regretful. After all, if there were really high-tech items from the old era, with Eureka, they would eventually have to be handed over to the dragon clan. If it fell into the hands of the inner wall, it would become a hindrance to his future.
"It seems that there was a fight here."
"There are a lot of broken limbs and corpses."
The blonde woman said.
Dean frowned slightly. He had already noticed this, and then associated it with the environment here. Obviously, these people were the lucky ones selected by the army and sent to this shelter. Most of the fights here were because of food.
"Could it be that the door can't be opened from inside?" Dean looked back at both sides of the door, but did not see the iris scanner. He could not help but frown. If the door couldn't be opened from the inside, causing them to have to compete for food here, that is to say, the people who sent these survivors here were probably planning to wait for the disaster to end, and then they would open it from the outside.
The only use of this approach was to avoid some people inside from opening the shelter because of their own reasons and sacrificing everyone.
Soon, the middle-aged man went deep into the center of the circular hall with a torch. At this time, Dean passed by a pile of corpses. Because of the angle, he suddenly saw the outline of a door under the gap of the pile of corpses leaning against the wall. From the height, it seemed to be about three meters.
His gaze focused, and very quickly, he quietly turned his gaze to look around, but with the help of his opened up vision, he used his peripheral vision to carefully look at the pile of corpses. Very quickly, he discovered that it was not an illusion. There was indeed a door hidden under the pile of corpses.
His heart was slightly moved, but he did not tell Eureka and others. On the contrary, he planned to wait for the next time to sneak in and check it out. Anyway, with the size of the ruins, Eureka and others could not move it away.
Although he did not know what was in the door, since it was the secret he found, of course, he would not easily share it with others.
If there was a treasure hidden inside, it would bring him a fatal disaster!
"There is a black shadow over there. What is it?" Dean immediately pointed to another place and said.
Hearing Dean's words, Eureka and the others were shocked and a little nervous, especially the middle-aged man who was leading the way holding the torch. He swallowed his saliva and shone the torch at the place where Dean was pointing. He slowly approached it, only to find that it was just a pile of corpses. He breathed a sigh of relief and then became a little annoyed. However, thinking of Dean's unknown identity, he resisted the urge to scold him.
"This place is very big. For now, there should be no danger. Light it up first," Eureka said.
Hearing this, Dean thought it was not good. Once it was illuminated, they were likely to find the door.
When the blonde woman heard the words, she immediately turned out their own torches and kerosene, ignited them, and inserted them in the surrounding corpses. Several torches and kerosene lamps were lit in the darkness, and the outline of the circular hall was immediately illuminated.
"It's going to be discovered." Dean saw that the blonde woman and the other two were still lighting new oil dishes. He knew that the door would be exposed sooner or later. He sighed in his heart. It seemed that it was not his own opportunity.
He didn't force it. After all, it was inevitable.
Kaka!
Suddenly, outside the gate of the ruins behind them, there were several footsteps, and there was the sound of stones being kicked away and rolling.
Everyone was shocked and looked back in an instant.
This look, Dean's face suddenly changed. He saw three huge figures coming from the entrance of the ruins. They were three giant walking dead!
"No, it's the giant walking dead!" He hurriedly cried.
Eureka heard Dean's words, and his heart moved. This kid's perception was so strong! This idea flashed, and soon, he also saw the three giant walking dead that were shaking and gradually accelerating. He was shocked. How could there be three giant walking dead here? Could it be that it had followed their scent?
"Damn it!" Eureka bit his teeth slightly and said, "You step back!"
With that, he bent his body slightly and jumped out.
"Is it the giant walking dead?" The blonde woman hurriedly retreated in fear. This was not a monster they could fight.
