As soon as the third exploration team returned to the dispatch center, they were warmly welcomed by the scientific researchers. The samples they brought back were immediately sent for testing, and the vast space full of corpses was named "Hall No. 1".

According to the filmed footage and records of the exploration team, there is not only one door in the Internal Medicine Hall No. 1, but there are as many as fifteen passages. This shows how complex the terrain of this underground palace is.

The two professors had already changed their clothes and were ready to join the test. It was also time for the shift change. Qian Ting hurried over with Zheng Yuting and a junior student. Su Yun and Wu Juan very consciously gave up their seats for observation.

It is definitely a rare opportunity to be able to participate in the excavation of such a large ruins. Even if you are just a handyman, you can be considered to have gained extremely valuable internship experience. Everyone takes shifts consciously, and how much you can learn depends entirely on yourself.

Su Yun closed the notebook and returned to their tent with his senior.

"Let me see... three o'clock. Tsk, lunch time should be over now." Wu Juan scratched his head. "But there should be few people going to eat on time today. I'm going to get something to fill my stomach. Su Yun, what do you say?"

Su Yun declined: "I will go to dinner directly later. Senior, do you want to bring food for the teachers?"

"They won't eat it even if you bring it to them. They only eat dry bread and compressed biscuits that don't affect their work." Wu Juan shook his head. "But I'll make some hot soup. It's quite cold tonight. Bread dipped in hot soup sounds good."

Wu Juan opened the curtain and walked out again. Before leaving, he couldn't help but remind his autistic junior: "Su Yun, remember to eat dinner!"

The tent was finally empty. Su Yun went to check the door again and returned to his camp bed with a guilty conscience.

He took out a small box from his backpack and took out a pair of contact lenses.

Su Yun cleaned his hands carefully, then he opened the small dressing mirror and removed the thin disguise from his eyes. When he raised his head and looked at the mirror again, what was exposed in the mirror was a pair of light, silver-gray eyes with a faint glow.

His eyes became paler, and that strange attraction seemed to be further strengthened. Su Yun frowned slightly, opened the new package, and replaced his contact lenses with black ones.

From now on... from now on it’s best not to look up, and it’s best to wear a baseball cap at all times so that others don’t see your eyes.

Su Yun carried the discarded contact lenses with her and threw them away on the way to the restaurant.

It went into the big garbage bag outside the girls’ tent.

Busy times always pass quickly. There are new discoveries in the underground palace of the ruins every day. After a month, the specimens from the ruins have filled an entire testing room.

There will be no end to the excavation of the ruins. In addition to following the professor, Su Yun is digging holes and soil on the ground. With everyone's attention being drawn to the excavation of the underground palace, assisting work on the ground has become very unwelcome.

Even though Su Yun's body had changed slightly, a month of physical labor still made him feel a little tired. He climbed out of his pit and packed up his toolbox.

After all, this is a relic in the desert, with no village in front and no shop behind. The most difficult thing for the interns is probably the difficulty in washing.

But for Su Yun, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. His biggest feeling was just fatigue.

When this project is over, should we move to another location? Find another archaeological base? Or settle in a sparsely populated area?

Su Yun put his hat firmly on his head, picked up his suitcase and walked back.

The camp is still empty. People have been gathering at the dispatch center since the exploration of the underground palace began. The progress of the exploration of the underground palace is completely incomparable with that of a month ago. With the gate of the underground palace as the center, the clear map radius of the underground palace has expanded by hundreds of meters. After Hall No. 1 which was full of corpses, the exploration team also discovered Hall No. 2, which was also full of corpses, but in addition, Hall No. 2 was also full of cages made of metal and rock.

There are two mainstream speculations now. One is that Halls 1 and 2 are dungeons. The other is that the underground palace itself contains the functions of priests, and Halls 1 and 2 are altars.

But no matter which speculation is true, the area covered by this underground palace is far beyond people's imagination. Except for the lack of modern facilities, it is almost better than any underground facility in a modern metropolis.

Su Yun couldn't tell which relic was better or worse than Anita's underground palace. He only had a rough impression of Anita's underground palace, but the two seemed very similar, and for a moment Su Yun had the illusion that his dream had turned into reality.

The two younger students were following me today. Wu Juan was probably organizing some activities with students from other colleges. The professors went out early and came back late every day, and their dormitories were empty.

Su Yun opened the tent and first put the tool box away. Then he roughly cleaned the sand and dirt off his body, wiped his face and re-tied his hair.

His hair was getting longer and longer, and he could only tie it behind his head like a girl. Su Yun had trimmed it himself, but his hair grew back to its original shape overnight.

Su Yun has always had a neat living habit. Even if the cleaning conditions here are not good, he will try his best to make the surroundings cleaner. The signal in the camp is very bad, and network communication is almost impossible. The students' usual fun is probably only exchanging the books they bring with them.

Although each person's luggage weight is limited, as long as everyone brings a book, everyone can enjoy multiple times the fun.

Wu Juan was probably borrowing books from his junior classmates, and the book "Seven Daughters of Eve", which Su Yun was very familiar with, fell out from under his quilt.

Su Yun picked up the book that had fallen on the ground and carefully brushed off the sand that had accidentally gotten on the paper. He glanced at the words on the page, which seemed to be a story about a woman named Jasmine.

Su Yun was stunned for a moment, then laughed at his own unreasonable association. He clipped the bookmark and put it back on Wu Juan's camp bed.

Busy and fulfilling days still passed in small waves. Su Yun repeated his dull ground work. Now the floor tiles he cleaned had been connected into a fairly large area. Standing on the pit and looking down, he felt quite a sense of accomplishment.

Su Yun stopped the excavation and cleaning work, and began to make rubbings and take pictures. Perhaps his down-to-earth attitude was appreciated by the professor, and after finishing the recording he was transferred to another ground cleaning team.

The underground palace of the ruins does not have only one exit. As the underground exploration progresses, the cleaning on the ground is also progressing in coordination. The purpose of Su Yun's current team is to search for other ground exits of the underground palace. They need to look for clues in the rock strata and solid soil.

There are many such groups, but this one is a little different. Except for Su Yun, most of the other members are students from various colleges and universities. The team leader is also a professor from other schools. Their excavation progress is very slow, and the professor is also half teaching and half practicing.

This day was supposed to be a normal day. Under the guidance of the teacher, the team members judged the soil layers. Everyone was required to collect several different soil samples. This was not a difficult assignment. Su Yun was still the one who was isolated from the crowd. He was squatting in a pit when suddenly a dull noise came from not far away.

Su Yun stood up immediately, but the sound did not stop. Then the ground beneath his feet seemed to shake, as if something exploded under his feet!

Su Yun immediately

He turned over and jumped onto the big pit. He was trying to determine which direction he could safely leave from, when he suddenly felt a piercing pain in his vest. Within just a few seconds, the blood transported the dangerous foreign drug to all parts of his body. A dizziness and nausea surged into his chest.

Anesthesia - Su Yun realized this immediately, but his body at this moment still belonged to human beings, so in a physiological sense, Su Yun fainted.

The ground was still shaking, alarms were blaring, medical staff and emergency personnel were shouting to maintain order, and the excavation area above the underground palace collapsed with the sudden explosion inside the palace. Hundreds of people were injured or killed, and dozens more fell into the trap and went missing.

When the emergency personnel arrived following Su Yun's footsteps, they only found his scattered tool box at the edge of a sinkhole.

Su Yun finally woke up.

The aftereffects of anesthesia made him covered in cold sweats, and his limbs seemed to be filled with cotton instead of flesh and blood. He was in a trance and felt dizzy.

Su Yun's vision was blocked by the blindfold. He could not see the surrounding environment. He only felt a burst of tinnitus in his ears. The slightly cold air irritated his skin exposed outside his clothes. What was going on? Was it night? Why was it so cold?

Su Yun took a few deep breaths. After an unknown amount of time, he finally regained the feeling of his limbs. His arms were tied above his head with restraints, and his back was pressed tightly against a wall that he had warmed up. Under him was a hard seat, and his ankles were tied apart.

Su Yun tried to struggle, but he was so exhausted at the moment, and the restraints were so tight that he could hardly move.

However, to Su Yun's surprise, he did not feel hungry or thirsty, but his lips were very dry, which did not seem like he had been fed water.

Moreover, the smell around him was not bad. On the contrary, it was as if someone had spilled perfume in the space where he was. A sweet fragrance lingered around Su Yun's nose.

This smell... is it roses? It should be, it feels very familiar.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Yun's tinnitus gradually disappeared, and at this moment, he heard the sound of waves crashing.

Waves?

The ruins are in the middle of the inland! There is a desert next to the ruins! How can there be an ocean?

However, the longer Su Yun stayed awake, the more he had to admit that he had not heard wrong. His dizziness might not just be due to the aftereffects of anesthesia, but more likely because... he was now on a ship.

The monotonous sound of waves gradually calmed down. Just when Su Yun thought the boat was about to stop, he suddenly heard the sound of the cabin door opening.

The author has something to say: Osman is the code name of the Dresden guy, the one who mixes drinks for Su Yun.
