As the rats were roasted, the townspeople's mentality quietly changed. They began to cherish every bite of food and to support each other in times of hardship. This experience made the townspeople more united and resilient.
As time went by, the town gradually recovered its former vitality. People began to rebuild their destroyed homes and repair damaged farmland and warehouses. They also learned from this disaster and became more respectful of nature and life.
The giant red-eyed rats, once considered a symbol of terror, have now become legends circulating in the town. People use these stories to warn future generations, reminding them of this difficult history and to learn to cherish the peace and tranquility they have now.
The sky suddenly changed color, and the originally clear sky was covered by rolling dark clouds. The wind howled and the dust was everywhere. Xiao Yi and his expedition team were deep in a remote underground ancient tomb for archaeological research when they unexpectedly encountered a rare tornado sandstorm.
The ancient tomb was dark and eerie, with only the flashlights and headlamps in their hands emitting faint light. They had originally planned to search for lost artifacts and clues here, but this sudden natural disaster trapped them in this deep underground world.
The roar of the sandstorm echoed within the tomb, as if countless ghosts were screaming. The stones on the tomb's roof were crumbling in the storm, and the sand stung his skin like a knife. Xiao Yi held the flashlight tightly, his eyes firm and alert. He knew that he had to remain calm at this moment to lead the team to find a chance to escape.
They carefully dodged falling stones and sand, and trudged forward along the passage of the tomb. Suddenly, a stone door appeared in front of them, engraved with complex totems and characters. Xiao Yi realized that this might be the key to the outside world, so they quickened their pace.
After much effort, they finally pushed open the stone door. However, what appeared before them was not the expected exit, but another, even more mysterious, tomb. This one was even more spacious than the previous one, with a massive sarcophagus in its center. Inlaid with gems and metal, it emitted a faint glow.
As they curiously surveyed the sarcophagus, the tomb suddenly began to shake. Sand and rocks pelted them from all sides, forcing them to dodge quickly. After a thrilling struggle, they finally found a relatively safe corner.
Xiao Yi frowned, thinking about how to escape from this dangerous place. He noticed a raised mechanism on the sarcophagus that seemed to be able to open it. So he took the risk and tried to operate it. After some effort, the sarcophagus slowly opened, revealing a well-preserved ancient corpse.
In the hands of the corpse, Xiao Yi found an ancient map and a key. He guessed that the map might be the clue to the exit, and the key might be the key to open another door.
They followed the instructions on the map and, after a series of trials and dangers, finally found a secret passage leading to the ground. Just as the tornado and sandstorm were about to subside, they successfully escaped from the ancient tomb.
The moment they returned to the surface, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Looking back at the mysterious ancient tomb and the danger they had just escaped, they were filled with emotion and awe. Although this expedition was full of unknowns and dangers, it also allowed them to gain valuable experience and courage.
After the tornado sandstorm, Xiao Yi and his expedition team were trapped deep in the underground ancient tomb. Faced with this sudden natural disaster, they were not discouraged, but decided to find the law of tornadoes and find a way to escape.
They carefully studied the tomb's structure, searching for clues related to the tornado. After a series of investigations and deductions, they discovered that the tomb's design seemed closely connected to astronomical phenomena. The layout of the passageways and rooms seemed to follow a certain astrological diagram.
As they delved deeper into the ancient tomb, they stumbled upon a long-forgotten cave. The entrance to the cave was covered by a massive stone slab, covered in the marks of time. After some effort, they pushed the slab aside and entered the mysterious cave.
The cave was dimly lit, but the murals were exquisite. They depicted a series of ancient myths, with vivid images and vibrant colors. However, the contents of the murals shocked them.
The murals contain a terrifying prophecy: Every three thousand years, a catastrophe will befall the world, wiping out all life. This catastrophe, known as the "Doomsday Catastrophe," is caused by an unknown force. The murals depict chilling scenes of doom: fire, floods, earthquakes, and other disasters will follow one after another, reducing the entire world to ash.
Seeing this prophecy, Xiao Yi and his team members couldn't help but feel anxious. They realized that if this prophecy was true, then the era they were in was exactly the end of the three thousand year cycle. Could it be that they were about to face the end of the world?
However, at this critical moment, they also realized an important message: since the murals recorded the laws of catastrophes, they might also hide the method to avoid them. So, they decided to continue to explore this mysterious cave, hoping to find clues to save humanity.
In the following expedition, they encountered countless difficulties and obstacles, but they never gave up. They believed that as long as they found the right clues, they would be able to uncover the truth of this doomsday prophecy and find a way to save mankind.
Amidst the ravages of sandstorms, the resources within the ancient tombs become increasingly precious. As reserves dwindle, cracks begin to form among the once united expedition team. Fear, despair, and greed intertwine like a bomb poised to explode, threatening to destroy this fragile balance at any moment.
