Chapter 430: Chapter 430: Leaving. The final answer to the ancient city
Translator: 549690339
Ning Fei stood in the underground ancient city and looked up. Everything seemed a little strange.
In the past, the rivers in Lop Nur had stopped flowing and the lake water had dried up. Slowly, only endless sand was left.
People from Lou Lan, Jing Jue, and other cities had chosen to abandon their homeland and move to other places.
Only the people from Peacock City had chosen to wait here for generations.
Ning Fei looked at the ancient city.
History was indeed cruel.
“The people in this city have exceeded my imagination.”
“It has been two thousand years, but they are still here.”
“Are those ape-like people really ape-like people?”
This was the first time Ning Fei had encountered such a strange scene.
A group of people who had built their own city into a tomb and were willing to be buried by wind and sand. What were they doing here.
Ning Fei squatted down to take a look.
“These vines have been growing for many years. You can see that there are more vines in the shadows, which means that this kind of plant doesn’t like sunlight.”
“Moreover, this place has more water sources.”
“Perhaps, there is another possibility. Back then, the Peacock River and the Tarim River were cut off, but there is still an unknown water source in the depths of Peacock City.”
“Relying on this source of water, the people of Peacock City could survive, so they chose to seal the city.”
With water, plants, and the initial stage of Peacock City, there was definitely no lack of sunlight. The only problem for survival was that the wind and sand that filled the sky would gradually bury the city.
“From the geographical location, the position here is relatively lower.”
Ning Fei added.
At this moment, the light above his head suddenly began to dim, until it was pitch black again.
Looking Up, the light in the underground world had completely disappeared again.
“It’s the sandstorm just now. It must have lifted up a large patch of sand to expose the top.”
Ning Fei raised his head and muttered to himself again.
Everything was pitch black again, leaving only the drone’s light shining on his body.
The netizens were shocked all the time.
No one had expected such a terrifying scene to appear underground!
“Abbey Dean Ning and professor Lin Tao found such a place!”
“China’s number one archaeological team, do you think it’s a joke?”
“Yes, Professor Lin’s team and Abbey Dean Ning, I don’t think it’s strange at all!”
“They will definitely be on the news as a memento!”
“Haha, I found out about the news earlier than the newscast for the first time.”
The netizens started to discuss.
This matter quickly became a hot topic.
Not long after, Lin Tao brought his team over.
“Abbey Dean Ning, what did you find?”Lin Tao asked while wearing a headlamp.
“When the sandstorm passed just now, there was light coming down from above. Our initial guess was that there was something like a glass or a mirror above us, but now it’s buried under the sand,”Ning Fei explained.
Hearing his words, Lin Tao was very surprised.
Lin Tao raised his head to look at the pitch-black soil, nodded, and said,
“It should be the place where Peacock City receives light.”
“This is a city that is prepared to live underground.”
Ning fei agreed, “That’s right. Even if the environment back then was so bad, they were still unwilling to leave. Their feelings are deep enough.”
“Ah!”
At this moment, a burst of exclamations suddenly came from behind.
“It’s Xue Fang’s voice!”
Lin Tao suddenly turned his head to look.
“What’s Wrong!”
“Look over there, there’s a black figure there!”
Xue Fang exclaimed.
Everyone looked in the direction Xue Fang pointed and saw behind the vines. As expected, there was a black figure.
“Ning Fei.”
At this moment, Lin Tao turned around and gave Ning Fei a look.
Ning Fei understood and said to the netizens in the live broadcast room,
“I’m sorry, everyone. Let’s wait for the official announcement. We can’t broadcast now.”
As he said that, he turned off the live broadcast.
“Ah! Why is the Screen Black?”
“Why isn’t Abbey Dean Ning Broadcasting?”
[ it seems like he has found something? ]
[ good heavens, I’m enjoying the Show! ]
[ Ah Ah Ah, please turn on the livestream, Abbey Dean Ning! ]
The netizens exclaimed one after another.
The livestream room was densely packed with bullet screens. Everyone was requesting for Ning Fei to turn on the livestream.
However, Ning Fei knew that the following events could no longer be broadcasted live.
However, not long after, this underground city was developed by the local government as a cultural museum like the terracotta warriors.
Countless people came to visit it, which satisfied everyone’s desire.
At this moment, Ning Fei and Lin Tao looked at the figure behind the vines.
It was a child.
To be more precise, it was the child of a human who had stayed in the underground world for God knows how many years.
In fact, Ning Fei and Lin Tao both knew that the apes from before were not apes at all, but the descendants of Peacock City who had lived in the underground world for God knows how many years.
This underground city was completely isolated.
Occasionally, there would be light sprinkling down, satisfying the survival needs of these underground creatures.
They had lived underground for generations.
Just like children raised by wolves, their habits had completely changed.
These humans had also become completely savage.
“More than two thousand years ago, according to a hundred-year generation, there were twenty generations.”
“Perhaps, the later generations always thought that the world was this big underground, and they never thought of going out to take a look.”
“Perhaps these people sensed something, so they began to dig outside. It was not until recently that these underground humans finally came out.”
Ning Fei sighed.
He felt very emotional.
This world was even more wonderful than he had imagined.
At this time, not far away, two humanoid creatures appeared. Both of them looked at each other nervously.
“We have no ill intentions!”
Lin Tao waved his hand.
The two humans just ran to the side of the child and stared at them cautiously.
“Captain, what should we do? Let’s capture them first?”
Someone from the archaeological team said.
Lin Tao nodded secretly and said, “It depends on the situation. If they are very aggressive, then capture them.”
Ning fei listened from behind and frowned slightly.
He had never liked to participate in such things.
The three underlings didn’t seem to know how to speak, only making “Ah Ah”sounds.
“They don’t mean any harm.”
“They are just wondering where we came from.”
“If any of you have beef jerky or biscuits on you, just give them to them.”
At this moment, Ning Fei suddenly said.
The archeological team glanced at Ning Fei.
For the members of the archeological team, the most important thing in an expedition was to ensure their own safety. All potential dangers had to be eliminated in a timely manner.
However, Ning Fei’s words interrupted their thoughts.
“Do as Abbey Dean Ning says,”Lin Tao said.
Then, everyone found some jerky and threw it to each other.
This scene looked a little strange.
A group of humans in adventure clothes were feeding a few hairy barbarians.
If this scene was seen by ordinary people, it would definitely cause a wave of panic.
The humans below picked up the beef jerky. They were puzzled and ate it. Then, they became very excited.
“Abbey Dean Ning, your method is not bad,”Lin Tao praised Ning Fei.
Ning Fei did not respond. He just felt that these people should not be hurt.
After that, the situation of the few underground humans gradually stabilized. Soon, the local armed police force would come to protect the scene.
The rest was about scientific research. Ning Fei was not interested. He said goodbye to Lin Tao and planned to leave.
“Are you leaving already?”
Lin Tao urged him to stay.
“Yes. The sandstorm is so big. I don’t even know where the car is. I have to find my car,”Ning Fei shrugged and said.
“How Much is your car? If you lose it, you can ask the government for reimbursement,”Lin Tao said.
“It’s about ten million yuan,”Ning Fei replied.
Lin Tao:”…”
“Let’s go, Professor Lin.”Ning Fei waved his hand again and left.
Lin Tao looked at his back with a meaningful expression.
“This young man is not simple.”
“Maybe there is something magical about him.”
