Chapter 561 Six Ancient Paintings
It has been 4 days since the zombies' time lock was unlocked.
The world relaxes from the tense atmosphere,
Scared and thankful.
What I'm afraid of is that the zombies outside are too powerful. They are all first-level evolved zombies. Ordinary people have completely lost the ability to fight zombies. Even first-level extraordinary beings may fall into the hands of zombies if they are not careful. entrance, and most of the previous fortifications have become ineffective.
M1 zombies can climb walls, and Y1 zombies can fly. Ordinary walls cannot stop them. Ultra-high walls and powerful guards are needed to protect the safety of the base.
Fortunately, the zombies have not undergone more terrifying changes, and they are still within the range that humans can bear. The early awakened extraordinary beings are now at the second level, and can still deal with the first level zombies with ease. Moreover, it will not transform into a corpse just because it is bitten, and the elite power of human beings can always remain.
Some of the newly emerged extraordinary beings can grow rapidly under the leadership of the old man. They cannot be the main attacker, but if equipped with the right equipment, they can still cause effective damage to first-order zombies, just like the previous special forces used to deal with ordinary evolved zombies.
The physical strength is definitely not as good as the evolved zombies, but the weapons can break defenses, and you can use your wisdom to counterattack. If you are lucky, several people can kill one by cooperating.
Moreover, because of the meridian method of practice announced by Liu Shicai, the progress of the practice of extraordinary people all over the earth has been greatly accelerated!
The difference in physical data between humans and zombies at the same level is gradually being narrowed.
According to the prediction by Tianluodiwang's energy experts, if the current trend continues, in half a year, the average extraordinary strength of humans at the same level will be fully doubled!
It's enough for a first-level transcendent to win 1v1 against a first-level zombie.
And this half year is also a crucial half year for the world!
All extraordinary organizations agree that this half year is the best time to eradicate zombies on a large scale!
If more than 90% of zombies cannot be destroyed, the situation of mankind will be even more severe in the next stage.
Therefore, with the promotion of the Dragnet, the extraordinary forces around the world have officially joined forces to share advanced extraordinary experience, explore ancient ruins together, and seek common development!
Hundreds of TGD (International Ancient Ruins Exploration Team) personnel have entered the first ancient ruins they have joined forces with.
Although there were some traps, it was obvious that the owner of the traps did not intend to kill them.
On the contrary, it is like screening out people who are not strong enough to pass.
By the way, he also rescued the two third-level transcendent beings in Austria who were lost inside.
So, pushed along by a large number of third-order extraordinary beings, everyone arrived at the depths of the ancient ruins.
A wide hall.
There are a large number of murals carved around it, as well as some incomprehensible words.
Liu Shicai's eyes lit up: "Ancient characters! Let's go and have a look."
Five scholars from Tianluodiwang followed Liu Shicai to analyze the wall with the most ancient writings.
The people in the Hydra organization focused on those murals.
I don’t know how long it has gone through, but it is still well preserved and the colors are bright, just like a freshly painted oil painting.
Although it is a 2D character, it looks like an artistic old photo, conveying some message to the outside world.
Smith walked up to a painting, stroked it gently and said, "I felt extraordinary power in the painting. This is an ancient painting preserved by extraordinary power. What does the painting on it mean? Come and see, Jim." look"
A bearded professor next to him held a bright jade stone in his hand, which glowed warmly.
It illuminates the entire painting.
Above is a man wearing animal skins, looking very frightened as he is pointed at by a half-human, half-fish monster holding a fork.
There are many men like this around him, and a human tribe is being invaded by mermaids.
Even if I put the painting aside, I can feel the sting of the fork about to fall.
"What a vivid painting! It shows the fear of men and the power of this monster. This half-human, half-fish monster is a bit like the fish-man in ancient Greek mythology. The overall composition of this painting highlights the fish-man race. The invasion and massacre of humans proves that the humans in the painting are no match for the fish-men, and the entire painting emits the fear of being dominated by the fish-men."
Professor Jim analyzed the painting from part to whole, and then shook his head,
"Move over to the blond sister next to you, let me take a look at this side again."
The jade stone in Professor Jim's hand illuminates another painting next to it,
Several humans, covered in blood, stood on top of a pile of fish-men corpses. Their eyes were emotionless and as calm as water.
"Oh my God! This is a comic strip! The people who carved these paintings must want to express something to us. You see, the humans in this painting are exactly the people who were pointed at before. They transformed after fear and became Gene-locked extraordinary people with emotionless eyes! So they killed all the fishmen and saved their tribe. This painting should be about the emergence of the first generation of gene-locked extraordinary people. With the crisis of genocide, some people started to Such violent power"
Jim dismissed the people around him and continued to look at the third picture,
There are scenes of some people growing up from childhood, swelling into giants, and fighting wild beasts.
The fourth painting: Some wise men with glowing heads are guiding the tribe of humans to use tools.
The fifth painting: a duel between a white human and an identical black human.
Sixth painting: blank
"Huh? There are obviously traces of carving here, why are there no paintings? The extraordinary power has not been preserved?"
There is a location for the sixth painting and traces of chiseling into the wall, but it is empty.
Professor Jim was thoughtful,
Liu Shicai came over and said: "The sixth painting may have been erased by someone."
"Oh? How are you sure it didn't fall off due to natural changes? You know, this kind of ancient ruins has existed for at least hundreds of thousands of years. The earth's plates have moved many times. Is it normal for accidents to happen?"
"Did Brother Shicai discover something?"
Liu Shicai nodded: "Indeed, compared to the research on ancient characters, our dragnet has the most abundant reserves. Some time ago, we compared it with the ancient relic characters that other countries have developed, and studied and understood the meaning of many characters. Now we can roughly read them. It’s just that it will take some time to translate it into a complete sentence, why not first listen to Professor Jim’s views on the five preserved paintings?”
Professor Jim is a master of archeology. Liu Shicai's teachers are all respectfully called "Senior". He is now over 90 years old and is about to be buried. The Hydra organization used many methods to help old Jim break through to the second-level elementary level. .
Although we are not talking about regaining our youth now, our physical fitness has been brought back from the death line, and we can live for another twenty or thirty years. Such talents are the wealth of the entire United States, and they must protect this walking living fossil!
Professor Jim originally looked thoughtful, but then he suddenly realized after hearing Liu Shicai's words:
"That's it. That's it. Everyone, what is certain is that these murals are comic strips with connected contents. The owners of the murals showed us step by step the evolution of human beings at that time."
"The humans in the first painting are very weak. They are far inferior to the invaders in terms of size and intelligence. They have not even made weapons. They can only pick up stones on the ground and throw them. These are the earliest humans, and their opponents - —The fishmen are monsters who made forks. They are physically strong and have rudimentary intelligence. Human beings are obviously no match for them. They fall into deep fear and express a desperate mentality."
"In the second picture, the scene changed. A small number of humans had killed all the fish-men. The originally weak humans turned the tables in one fell swoop. Looking at their eyes, they were the same as our first-level gene-locked transcendent. This was the initial contact with humans. Extraordinary power, inspired by the crisis of genocide!"
"In the third picture, humans have become proficient in using gene locks and have started the second stage of change. They even dare to fight against huge beasts, which shows the progress of human power."
"The fourth picture, the people with glowing heads, means that they have opened the third-level gene lock, their wisdom has been greatly improved, and they have begun to lead the tribe to build their homes."
"The fifth painting, this one is the most abstract. People on the ground are looking at the sky in surprise. Two identical people, one black and one white, are fighting. This painting must be related to the fourth-order gene lock! The two people in the sky should be The fourth-level gene lock has been activated, but I don’t know why they are fighting again because they look the same? Is it a sign of how we will enter the fourth level? "
Jim shook his head. He had no idea about the concept of fourth-level extraordinary beings, and then said,
"The sixth painting, I can tell from the carvings on the stone that it has been carved, but I don't know why there are no these bright patterns. But from the carving marks on the edges, it can be seen that this painting is not complicated, and the patterns inside It should be relatively simple, unlike the previous pictures, where the background, main characters, and mental state are all shown."
"Taken together, these paintings show us that ancient humans really existed! They may have once developed an extremely powerful extraordinary civilization!"
After Professor Jim finished speaking, everyone could not suppress their surprise!
This is the first time I have seen such a vivid painting in an ancient ruins, showing the origin of extraordinary human beings. It contains a lot of information.
Clothing, technology, monsters, geographical environment, physiological structure, etc.
If analyzed carefully, it will definitely be able to better restore and deduce the living conditions of ancient humans.
But the meaning of the mural has basically been explained by Professor Jim.
Everyone was talking among their own country's teams.
"Mythical stories are not necessarily lies. Those gods may have really existed. They were powerful extraordinary beings in the past."
"The original human beings were already so powerful, why were they still being exterminated?"
"What happened during the time gap between humans?"
"I feel it has something to do with the lack of 150ml of brain capacity. I always feel that there is something missing in my brain."
"Lack of tendons?"
"What the fuck?"
Mary Gill from the Kangaroo Boxing Organization asked: "Shicai Liu, you said that the sixth painting can be erased. Do you have any explanation?"
At this time, the five Dragnet researchers behind them took out a translated text and gave it to Liu Shicai.
“The answer lies in the writing on the walls.”
Liu Shicai put down the text and carefully felt the space around him.
"Do you feel a strange force covering this place?"
Hydra Smith frowned: "Is there any mechanism?"
"It's not a mechanism, but a kind of power that makes people friendly. This feeling is like returning to the arms of your parents. Close your eyes and feel it."
Everyone was stunned,
Then close your eyes and feel for a moment,
"It seems like I feel a little bit at ease."
"I don't feel anything"
"I was abandoned by my parents since I was a child. I don't know what it feels like. Come on, Professor Liu. Come on, tell us what those damn ancient characters are saying. No more ink. You Chinese people are too inefficient."
However, most people feel a strange power that makes them feel no fear underground.
Liu Shicai continued: "Professor Jim just explained it very well. His views are basically the same as mine. Our people just translated the following text, and it is a letter."
"A letter? Who wrote it to whom?"
"He wrote to us"
"us???"
Everyone was shocked!
Letters written by ancient humans to modern humans?
"Stop being a show-off, Shicai Liu, tell us quickly," Smith couldn't help but urge, seeing how happy their old Professor Jim was.
Liu Shicai took the paper and read:
"Under my witness, human beings have grown from little ants that can be bullied by all races, relying on their own unique strength, and gradually become stronger and stand on the top of the world."
"Over the years, I have seen too much blood and killing, and I have become numb, but victory will eventually come."
"We are known as the most intelligent race and are worshiped and worshiped by all races."
"The power of worship makes us stronger, so strong that we can see things we couldn't see before."
"So...those people went crazy!"
"They invited me to join the plan, but I'm not crazy. I won't leave my people."
"Maybe we the naysayers will win, maybe they who call themselves gods will win."
"Human beings in the future, if you have experienced an era when you were unable to unlock extraordinary power, they will be victorious."
"But I believe that you will find the power that belongs to our race again. Since you have passed the mechanism in front of me, it proves that in the end, I am right. I left something for you, hoping to resist their erasure of power."
When Liu Shicai read this, the extraordinary power on the murals in the hall suddenly gathered together,
A painting is formed in the center!
Jim shouted, "Oh my God! This could be the sixth missing painting!"
Above the painting is: a high-altitude god looking at the people worshiping below with indifference.
The painting was like a real scene. Everyone felt that the god depicted in it was calm and powerful. A strong pressure instantly pressed on everyone, as if if they looked at it again, it would be disrespectful and they would be killed by him with just a thought!
The people below had a frightened and ignorant attitude, which made people feel a pitiful atmosphere.
No one had time to observe carefully.
"boom!"
The sixth painting spontaneously combusted.
Everyone looked at each other
