Chapter 57: Once Exploration
John Smith squinted his eyes dangerously.
Roland, who had recovered his memory little by little, made him feel uneasy and made him collapse as soon as he wanted.
But what he said made John Smith want to finish it.
After all, killing him would be like sealing all the secrets in his dead brain.
In this world, only dead people will not reveal secrets.
So when you want to know what, it is best not to kill the only person you know.
And Roland in front of him is the only one who controls these.
Roland looked into John Smith's eyes: "Please, don't kill me, at least wait for me to finish all this."
"And, I just said that Lu Yuan and they might die, not necessarily die."
"Please listen to me finish this."
"What I need to say is that since I was brought here by you, I have said a lot of things, some of which are indeed less, and some of them I didn't remember very much at the time."
"But at least a little bit." Roland looked at John Smith and smiled calmly: "Look, I've never told a lie, right?"
There was no fear of death in his eyes.
Just more calm.
John Smith could only sigh: "You keep talking."
Roland smiled and pointed to the bottle of wine that had not yet been finished: "I want to have a glass of wine."
John Smith did not put down his gun: "Boil yourself."
Roland scratched his head: "You are a soldier, and now you are twenty years younger than me. You are still so scared of me, which makes me a little sad."
As he said this, he picked up the wine glass and poured himself a full glass, then drank half a cup in one breath, and sniffed out a sip of wine with satisfaction.
"I really didn't expect that I could drink such a great wine decades later."
"I'll introduce myself first."
"I'm Roland."
"Luo is my last name, and Lan is my first name."
"I am the director of Huaiyuan Sanctuary and the captain of the investigation team to the Shire Cave."
"I was born before the sun was extinguished, and I hibernated in the shelter for fifteen years. The last task was to find a way to save the shelter. We came to the wet and hot cave and discovered the bronze door, but in the end, we were unable to get what was behind the bronze door. We went one by one, exhausted our lives in front of that door, and in the end I was the only one left."
"I can only choose to keep all this memory covered. I thought I would die there, but I didn't expect you to find me, find me like a walking corpse, and rescue me."
"I intentionally guide you to the Bronze Gate, but I don't really want to kill you."
"I just want to know what kind of thing is behind the bronze door that swallowed my entire expedition."
John Smith looked at him, turned his head, and the muzzle in his hand still pointed at Roland's head: "Continue."
"I'm listening."
Roland laughed.
"OK."
"This time I know everything."
"First of all, the Bronze Gate is a civilizational creature and has a high level of civilization. On the Bronze Gate, there are detailed images of the Milky Way, the Solar System, and the Earth, which clearly shows the position of the solar system in the universe, as well as the orbits and proportions of all planets in the solar system."
"There is no text, only simple lines and graphics are presented. At that time, our evaluation was that pictures are the common language of all visual animals, and sometimes even surpass the text itself."
"Under the star map, there are the shapes of the earth at different stages. From the beginning of 4.6 billion years to the earth where humans live today, there are a total of twenty-four earths, representing the twenty-four stages of development of the earth."
"They included five ice ages during the Great Ice Ages, representing five mass extinctions."
"Our era should be the sixth Ice Age."
"It is us humans themselves who will be extinct this time."
John Smith was unmoved: "Continue."
"Yes." Roland agreed.
"The bottom of the bronze door is two overlapping rings. After touching the hand or any part of the body, you will naturally get a prompt."
"When two people attach their hands or other organs together to the bronze door, the bronze door will be opened."
"It can be seen that the founder of this bronze door is not just humans."
"Or it's not like they're humans, they're just smart creatures."
John Smith looked at Roland and asked for a long time: "How high is the bronze door?"
"It is visually estimated to be ten meters high and about five meters wide." Roland recalled.
"Okay, then I have no problem, keep going." John Smith said lightly.
"Yeah." Roland nodded: "So, we entered the first batch of testers."
"When two people come into contact with the bronze door, the person will disappear directly from his eyes, as if he was swallowed up."
"We waited outside for about a day, but still didn't see them coming out of the bronze door."
"Let's just treat it as missing."
John Smith looked at Roland: "But at this time, no one can stop, right?"
"Yes, no one can stop." Roland nodded and said, "We were originally gamblers at the end of the road, but now facing a gamble at the cost of life, even if the evil god wants to sacrifice blood food, he will continue to do so."
"What's more, there is such real hope in front of you."
"We can only stay in the cave, and on the one hand we contact the shelter garrison, and continue to send people to the bronze gate."
"We tried different combinations, old people, children, couples, and various professions. In short, after a long time, when we almost lost our patience and hope, the bronze door finally spit out the first pair."
"They also told us what we wanted to know the most."
"That's what's inside the door."
"What exactly is inside the door?" John Smith couldn't help asking.
"There are puzzles inside the door." Roland said quietly.
"When you enter the bronze door, you will encounter the first puzzle."
"Only by solving the puzzle within the specified time can you have the chance to temporarily leave the bronze door."
"That's why they can come out and tell us about their experiences in the door."
"By the way, they told me that I might have been in the bronze door for several months."
"It was a real few months because they made hourglass to time."
"But in reality, they disappeared for hours."
Roland looked at John: "The world inside the bronze door, and the world outside, has a different flow rate."
