No matter how surging emotions are interrupted many times, they will dissipate to the point where not even the dregs are left.

Walking down the jade steps step by step, the surroundings were finally quiet.

A slight breeze blew past my ears, and this city seemed to have remained unchanged forever.

Under the jade steps, the colorful golden birds on the ground shine brightly.

"I'll show you the way. If you step on it correctly, if you make a wrong step, the hanging stone from the dome will fall. Then you will have no choice but to be smashed into meat patties, or fall into the mercury sea and take a bath."

Mu Qingyun's instructions were clear and somewhat cold, "Towards two o'clock, the middle part of the golden third section, the southern part of the golden fifth section, towards ten o'clock, the red ninth section..."

In the conference room, Qiao Wenshu felt that her clothes were soaked with sweat.

The two experts couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so they turned their heads and looked into the distance. They had devoted decades of time to academics, but at this time, they could no longer care about those research projects.

The pressure is unbearable.

Qiao Wenshu went to get an oxygen bottle and breathed oxygen for a while. She seemed to hear an old guy crying in fear.

Ah Qing, this kid, will definitely have great potential in the future.

I don’t know how long it took, but on the big screen, Lou Fang and Xiao Jia passed through the arrow net, crossed the stone pit, passed the fire wall and fire hole, and bypassed the poisonous gas...

Everyone's emotions finally became a little numb.

There seemed to be a smooth road in front of me, the ground was smoother than the floor at home, and it was peaceful.

Mu Qingyun's voice was as steady as before: "This area in front, below is the flip board and balance beam. Go over there and the main control room is here."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little more relaxed.

Lou Fang nodded, and he and Xiao Jia shared a piece of compressed biscuit and drank some water.

Mu Qingyun counted the time and said softly: "If I tell you to run, just run. If I tell you to jump, just jump. If I tell you to stop, just stop - now, run!"

The two men swooped over like rabbits.

In just a few breaths, a special cave can be seen in the distance.

The main control room is right in front of you.

"Jump - run!"

The two of them responded without hesitation.

Coming!

The next moment, the four walls suddenly shrank, and the sound of the squeaking mechanism was heard.

Lou Fang tilted his body uncontrollably.

Mu Qingyun's expression changed in shock: "Throw it to the east."

Xiao Jia suddenly stood up and rushed over, grabbing Lou Fang, and the two of them fell off the flap.

Bang bang bang!

The sound of heartbeat echoed in the conference room.

Everyone stood up and turned pale.

"Cough cough cough."

Lou Fang choked and coughed several times.

The camera quickly turned around, and the two of them stood up from the skeleton of an elephant with difficulty, patted their chests, clasped their hands together and bowed: "I will build you a tomb and erect a monument when you get back. Thank you for saving your life."

Xiao Jia rolled his eyes, threw out the rope and climbed up.

Mu Qingyun's heart dropped and he took the towel handed by the assistant to wipe his face.

Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief, and several assistants gritted their teeth.

It was obvious that there was a problem outside the ancient city just now. Such an accident had happened before when they tested it.

Mu Qingyun didn't care about the outside, looked at the blue-black cave in front, and said quietly: "We're here."

Lou Fang and Xiao Jia looked at each other, raised their feet and walked over.

This time, it was smooth sailing.

After passing through the stone steps, which are not very long, about 500 steps, the entire stone cave is filled with gear mechanisms linked one after another, making the stone cave look like a huge machine nest.

"The blue disk in the center." Mu Qingyun pointed to the arched platform not far from the stone steps, "Turn it counterclockwise to the end, and the safety valve will open, and the ancient city's mechanisms will be locked."

Mu Qingyun's voice became softer and softer, "At the same time, the Dragon Breaking Stone will fall, and in an instant, poisonous gas will be released from the walls and the ground."

"Hoo, ho."

In the conference room, breathing was heavy and stagnant.

Lou Fang laughed: "Mr. Qiao, are you ready?"

Qiao Qing: "Okay, wait for my signal."

He paused and asked calmly: "Mr. Fang, how long do you need?"

The building was silent.

Mu Qingyun said softly: "Five hundred stone steps, at Teacher Xiaofang's speed just now, ten minutes is the minimum."

Qiao Qing: "Okay, Mr. Fang, I'll give you ten minutes."

Lou Fang chuckled: "Seven minutes is enough, I promise. Xiao Jia, go and wait at the door of the control room."

Xiao Jia turned around and left without saying a word.

Mu Qingyun lowered his head.

She suddenly understood.

After thinking about it, Mu Qingyun said: "Teacher Xiaofang, when you come out, I will tell you a secret. I guarantee it will be a secret that no one else in the world has thought of."

Lou Fang blinked: "Yeah, no, tell me now."

Mu Qingyun smiled, raised his hand and took off his VR glasses, stood up and silently left the conference room.

Lou Fang suddenly lamented: "Does everyone know now that I hate being titillated the most?"

Passing through one laboratory after another, Mu Qingyun slowly walked out.

Walked out of the door, sat on the steps, raised his hands to cover his ears, and looked into the distance.

It seemed like someone was talking and laughing in the distance, which was very happy.

She is not in that ancient city.

She also doesn't know whether Teacher Xiaofang can escape the fate given to him by the plot.

This journey is longer than imagined.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

Mu Qingyun suddenly closed his eyes and curled up slightly.

I don’t know how long it took, it could be very short, or it could be the length of a lifetime.

A hand suddenly placed heavily on Mu Qingyun's shoulder: "Hahahaha."

Teacher Qiao laughed in a rare and unladylike manner: "If you win, I will let Mr. Qiao fulfill his promise when we go back. I will give you 500,000 yuan, but I want 1 million anyway, and the Mu family's old house..."

Mu Qingyun stood up suddenly, but did not return to the conference room and ran out.

It was a mess outside the laboratory, and there were several people who looked like students arguing with the staff.

"Our classmates are just curious, what's wrong with Dongyi Dong? Isn't this ancient city still shady?"

There are also a few students clamoring to go to the ancient city to ‘visit and study’.

"Students, please read this. This is the approval document given to our company's expedition team by the Cultural Relics Administration. The ancient city is still in the protection stage. Tourists are not accepted and photography is not allowed."

Mu Qingyun's eyes lingered on the students' raised eyebrows, and suddenly she felt that there was a slight gap between her and the secular world under the sun.

Finally we reached the lake.

From a distance, I could see Qiao Qing sitting quietly under the tree by the lake and sleeping unconsciously.

His hair and body were covered with semi-coagulated blood clots.

That face looks very safe.

Several people in white coats were surrounding him, using tweezers to pick out thin hyphae from his body.

Qiao Qing's chest rose and fell slightly. The sun was falling, and her face was red. She looked miserable, but she was still alive.

Mu Qingyun's impetuous heart fell gently.

She had heard Mr. Qiao ask Teacher Xiao Fang the time before, and she felt something was wrong. If Mr. Qiao had really found a machine that could withstand these things, and the machine could operate underwater, why should he care so much about time?

He went by himself.
