After giving himself 5 minutes to rest, even though his body was tired and exhausted, Zero still struggled to get up. This underground space does not seem to be dangerous for the time being, but sea dragon fish can even appear in the underground waters, God knows if there will be other mutant beasts in this underground. Zero didn't dare to be careless, but before he left, he had to deal with his wound first.
Looking at the water-soaked bullet hole on his right chest, Ling Ling was glad that the Parkland killer only used standard sniper bullets, not armor-piercing bullets or explosive bullets, otherwise his injuries would not have ended there.
After evaporating the water vapor on his body at high temperature with the ability formed by the first-order fire element, Zero took out the only remaining disinfectant spray from the marching rucksack to disinfect the wound. Without extra bandages, he had to take out a part of his tactical uniform. Only the sleeve was removed, then cut open with a knife, and then tied to the body to fix the muscles around the wound from being torn due to body movements. After doing all this, Zero held up the light stick and probed into the dark part of the cave.
Mutant insects as big as little fingers drilled through the wet caves from time to time, and these small insects mostly feed on mud and sand. However, there were larger ground worms that used them as food. When Zero passed by, he saw a few piercers as thick as arms drilled out of some holes in the cave, and then rolled up and devoured these small worms.
Mutants hiding deep underground are extremely sensitive to light sources, and for them, the glimmer of light is as dazzling as sunlight. So after feeling the light source of the fluorescent stick, the piercers went back to their lair, which allowed Zero to put down the 500 revolver and move on.
The deeper you go, the more branches the cave has, and it looks like the lair of some large earthworms. In this maze-like cave, if you go the wrong way, you may never get out. However, there was a breeze blowing in the cave from time to time, and Zero ignited a small flame between his fingers, judging his way forward based on the direction the flame swayed. In this way, the labyrinth of caves did not bother Zero, and the wind faithfully guided him in the right direction.
Silently counting his steps, when he counted zero to one thousand and forty-five steps, his eyes suddenly opened up.
He had already walked out of the complex cave with branch roads, but in front of his eyes was a much larger natural cave. How big the cave is, it's really hard to judge from the faint light of the fluorescent stick. But Zero walked along the edge for about 10 minutes, but still couldn't see the end, so he had to give up searching. Judging from the whistling wind in the cave from time to time, it might be as big as a football field.
Zero raised the light stick again, and under the dim yellow light he saw the rocks above his head, as well as irregular stalagmites. The width of the cave is extremely wide, but the height is limited, only about five meters, forming an unusual sense of oppression. From time to time, cold water drops dripped from the stalagmites, which meant that there might be underground water flow on this layer of stone tendrils.
Where there is water flow, there will be an exit, but the problem is how Zero can penetrate this layer of rock. He walked aimlessly towards the depths of the cave, hoping to find a hole like a water outlet. But the water outlet was not found, and there was a metal reflection in the light of the fluorescent stick. Where did the metal come from in the cave? Could this be a mine, Zero thought.
The metal reflective light was in the dark place ahead, Zero quickened his pace and walked. This time he didn't go very far. After walking about ten meters, his toe kicked a strange metal object.
Zero crouched down, the metal a thin slice, molded into the shape of a feather. The negative etching process on the metal sheet has carved lines similar to circuit boards, and a black-purple crystal embedded at the end shows that it is not a natural product.
When the light stick approached the metal plate, Zero clearly saw a faint brilliance suddenly flashing from the spar embedded in it. Following the brilliance flowing through the lines on the metal plate, the entire metal plate trembled slightly for an instant, as if it were alive.
Zero looked at all this in surprise, judging from the slight dimming of the light source of the fluorescent stick, the black-purple spar was actually similar to a solar panel, which could absorb the light source and use it as energy. Judging from the vibration of the metal plate, this feather-like object contains three systems: light source absorption, energy conversion and drive.
The process of using solar energy as the main energy, converting it and driving it is not impossible at the current level of technology. But that requires a systematic unit and structure. No matter how exquisite the processing level is, it is absolutely impossible to organically combine the three systems on this metal sheet with a length of only meters and a thickness of no more than 5 millimeters.
And judging from the thick dust accumulated on the metal sheet, it has been lying in this dark cave for an unknown number of years. As far as Zero knows, among the energy research results announced by the Dark Council, the most representative magnetic power unit, without additional energy supply, can only support its own energy actions for about ten years.
However, this piece of metal, Zero believes that it must have existed in this cave for more than ten years, or even longer.
So, what organization is it the masterpiece of? Is it a product of the new era, or a technological crystallization of the old era? But Zero believes that even though the resources in the old era were abundant, there was not enough technological support to produce such metal flakes.
And going forward, there are more and more such metal flakes. They were scattered all over the place, almost like the leftover wings of some prehistoric giant bird.
Finally, after 100 meters from the first flake, Zero stopped, and a huge wing covered with such thin metal marks fell powerlessly to the ground, and those metal flakes fell off from this wing, Zero even Also saw the metal bracket after the flakes came off. The metal wings made by imitating the wings of flying birds made Zero think of a term.
Bionic Technology!
Although bionic technology has been dabbled in the old days, it still can't reach the level of craftsmanship of this metal wing, let alone the exquisite system on the wings. Regardless of the limited number of fluorescent sticks, Zero took out the rest of the fluorescent sticks, and after making them light up, Zero threw several fluorescent sticks in different directions.
Then, a picture that he couldn't believe appeared in his eyes.
What appeared in front of Zero was a strangely shaped aircraft. It is about the size of a ship in the old era, with a U-shaped front end and a streamlined body design at the rear. The entire aircraft was covered in mud, and it was partially submerged in the rock formation above, as if it was stuck in a cave by the rock.
Three huge metal wings were mounted on each side of the aircraft, and they were all hanging weakly on the ground at this moment. But after coming into contact with the light of Zero's fluorescent sticks, the light source absorption system on the metal wing started to move naturally, but the metal wing only vibrated slightly and then quieted down again. At the same time, all of Zero's light sticks went out, that's because the light sources were all absorbed by the metal wings.
Zero took the last light stick and carefully kept away from these big wings, lest even the last light source disappear.
He was almost certain that neither the aircraft itself nor the metal wings were a product of the new era or the old era. So which civilization does it belong to
Is it an alien civilization? Or is it a relic of an unknown civilization in the history of the earth
For a while, this aircraft attracted Zero more than leaving the cave. He seemed to be standing in front of a huge mystery, and Zero could not wait to solve this mystery immediately.
