"Stand full of people?" I became energetic as soon as I heard Meng Qisheng's words.
Because when I was in a shallow cave, the problem of the second floor in each cave has been bothering me. If they are lying down and sleeping, the second floor is obviously unable to sleep. If they are sleeping standing up, they can do it anywhere. Sleep has little meaning for the second layer.
Meng Qisheng said that the oldest caves were full of people. It shows that my initial speculation was accurate. People from the underground race were "standing" at home and sleeping when the catastrophe arrived. Before they had time to escape, the corpses remained in this first abandoned cave.
After I said my speculation, Gu Tang said: "It's too early to draw a conclusion. You just noticed the station character, but you missed another point of information."
I knew that he had thoughts again, and quickly made a look of listening, so Gu Tang looked at me with a kind of ruddy wood and carve eyes: "The other information point is full of words."
Standing full of people.
Meng Qisheng nodded: "Most of the caves we see, as long as there are people in the caves, are full, without exception.
"What does this mean?" At this time, I no longer think on my own, and habitually wait for the results of other people's discussions. It is too troublesome to think about it.
"This shows that most of the people in the underground community never escaped the first catastrophe." Gu Tang said.
I nodded, "Because according to Lao Meng, the people in the cave stood neatly and there were a lot of them. Obviously, they died before the catastrophe came."
"However, if most of them died in the first ruin, who created the large-scale ruins above?"
"Could it be from another ethnic group?" Bai Ye said.
"No." Meng Qisheng shook his head. "Many of the four relics brought about by the three relocations are in the same line. This cannot be faked, but they can only survive by themselves."
Gu Nanshan remained silent, "But according to what you said, every cave is full of people, which means that basically no one of them escaped. Where did they come from to continue to build the huge underground ruins in the shallow area? ?"
Meng Qisheng said: "Ning Chuan and I inspected the shallow ruins. I was measuring this in my heart. I think they should have at least half of their tribes escaped at the time to be able to run such a large shallow cave. ."
"Half of the tribe..." I said, "If most of the caves here are full of people, it means that the number of underground tribes who died in their sleep is far more than half."
"Even more than 80%." Meng Qisheng said.
"This issue is indeed worth thinking about." I said: "But as Ning Hanqing said, this is not a crucial issue either."
Meng Qisheng said: "I hope so, I'm about to enter the cave area, you can take a look."
After a section of the plank road, an orderly arrangement of caves began to appear on the stone wall on the right. We randomly picked a cave and probed in to see the original appearance of these underground tribesmen for the first time.
I don't know why, their bodies have not rotted for many years, their faces are blue and black, their eyes are closed, and they are almost naked, with only a piece of animal skin around their waist. The whole is similar to primitive people.
After all, it was near this abyss. Immortal villages appeared, and walking corpses were everywhere. It was not too surprising that some corpses did not rot.
There are males and females in the body. Just as Meng Qisheng said, they stand neatly, no more, no less, just enough to stand in a cave. Next we went all the way, every cave where a standing corpse was like this, it was clear that none of them had time to run away.
I suddenly thought of another question and asked Meng Qisheng: "The people from the military and the geological team who participated in the first Changning trip to Changning with Ning Hanqing all died here. Where are their bodies?"
Meng Qisheng said: "They all died of the insect infestation. Their bodies were covered with the secretions of the insect infestations. They died of suffocation. In fact, 80% of those secretions were eggs. They hatched from the heat emitted by the decay of the corpse. Using corpses as nourishment, even the bones will be corroded in the end.
"Hiss, so cruel." Bai Ye made a pretentious cry.
No wonder the corpses of people who died here were not seen here. Chongyang clearly knew what I was thinking of: "Why are the corpses of these underground people so well-preserved and not digested by the worms?"
"It may be that they have been smeared with anti-worm infestation drugs, or they can resist the infestation." Meng Qisheng said.
Bai Ye sighed: "Emotions are painted with Liushen."
Just now, Gu Tang had been frowning and thinking about things. At this time, he suddenly looked at me and said, "Xiao Ning, you can tell your doubts about the second-level living area again."
I know this is probably a more critical issue. I need a little enlightenment. I can't help but say in my heart: even Gu Tang needs my enlightenment hahahahaha.
But as he hurried, he told Gu Tang about his conjecture about the living quarters.
Gu Tang nodded and said thoughtfully, "Thanks to you for being able to notice this inconspicuous suspicious point, I might not have noticed it. If these two things are combined, there will be more room for speculation. Up?"
My eyes lit up, and I felt that my mind suddenly opened up a bit, and I felt that it was Gu Tang. My previous summary of his way of thinking was rather one-sided. Gu Tang often does not just break the rules, but expand the thinking space. When the rules hinder thinking, he will try to break the rules.
Meng Qisheng said: "If you look at the two things together, indeed, there are many possibilities for speculation."
It is now certain that the people of the underground ethnic group can indeed sleep standing up. Both the deep and the shallow relics have built their sleeping areas. This is obviously unnecessary. According to their habits, they are generally able to do their own things. .
Put this doubt together with another doubt.
At least half of them must escape to be able to manage the shallow ruins.
So let's suppose that half of them did escape, so where is the daily life of these people? Obviously there are not enough caves for them to live here.
"Rotation!" Gu Tang said suddenly.
It's just two words, I quickly understood it, yes, rotation!
In the eyes of those of us living on the ground, once night falls, we can no longer work and we need to go home and rest. But this kind of thinking cannot be applied to people living underground. (End of this chapter)
