Chris looked at the big hole and asked, "Should we find something to cover it up first?"
Yang Jing looked around and shook his head, "No, this is a private house with a private courtyard. There are so many trees around the courtyard that people outside can't see here."
Several people returned to the house. George Bruce called the local seismic station to ask if there would be any aftershocks, while the others helped Yang Jing prepare lunch.
After lunch, after making sure that there would be no aftershocks, the five men immediately armed themselves fully. They prepared weapons, lighting, and life-sustaining supplies. Then they tied two static ropes, one main and one secondary, to the diving platform next to the swimming pool, and then crawled down through the big hole.
Clark McCann is tall and strong, and he has rich experience in digging holes, so he leads the way, John Bruno follows in second, Yang Jing in the middle, followed by Chris and George Bruce.
Clark McCann quickly landed on the staircase leading diagonally downward. After going down, he felt it for a while, took off his gas mask and shouted upward: "Come down, the air is fine. This passage should be connected to the outside world. You can feel the air flowing in it."
After several people went down, Yang Jing said, "Let's not go down yet. Let's go in another direction first to see where this passage leads to."
This passage is quite spacious, more than two meters high, even the tall and strong Clark McKen can walk straight here. Hearing what Yang Jing said, Chris turned and walked in another direction, but not long after walking, the passage in front was completely cut off.
Some collapsed rocks and soil have blocked the passage tightly, but judging from the direction of the passage and its upward trend, this passage should lead directly to the ground, but it is not known why it was blocked.
Clark pulled at the rocks, and then moved closer to observe for a while before saying, "This place must have collapsed a long time ago. Look, some tree roots have grown here."
"Then let's go back and not waste time here." Yang Jing said, and several people immediately turned around and walked in the direction they came from.
When they walked under the big hole, Chris felt it again and said, "There should be a passage leading to the outside. The air is discharged upward from here, which is enough to prove this point."
George Bruce sniffed and said with a smile, "It smells like the sea. Could it be that there is a direct path to the sea below?"
Yang Jing also smiled and said, "It would be best if it leads directly to the Dragon King's palace. Oh, by the way, you don't recognize the Dragon King here, you recognize that sea god Poseidon."
Clark joked, "Boss, we are confirmed atheists. We believe in Engels..." Several people burst into laughter.
They walked down carefully while chatting and laughing. As they walked, they realized that this downward passage was actually spiral-shaped. As they walked downward, they heard the sound of waves.
After walking down for several minutes, they probably reached the bottom of the hill, and a huge space finally appeared in front of everyone.
Just as George Bruno guessed, there was indeed seawater in this huge underground space. There should be a secret passage connecting it to the Pacific Ocean outside. In addition, there was some mottled light coming through the rock wall on the west side of this space. Obviously, this rock wall should be the cliff below Yang Jing's house.
When everyone focused their lights on the east and north sides of the space, several people couldn't help but gasp.
In the east of this space, there are dozens of totem poles of various sizes and shapes. In the middle of these totem poles is a miniature pyramid.
Although this pyramid is only seven or eight meters high, its shape is a typical Mayan pyramid. On the rock wall behind this pyramid, there is a decoration that resembles the sun.
The shapes of the pyramid and the sun decoration are not important. The most important thing is that when the light is shone on these two things, they actually reflect a golden metallic luster...
Clark muttered to himself dully: "God Jesus, is this pyramid really made of gold?"
PS: The high fever has gone, but I still have a low-grade fever, and I feel really uncomfortable...
