The two first saw a flash of white light, and they subconsciously closed their eyes.

When it opened, it was already pitch black.

He should still be in the car, Shen Changwen can still feel his seat.His first reaction was to start the car first, then turn on the lights and look at the surrounding environment.

At this moment, Wu Xiaoqing, who was sitting next to him, looked for it in the storage compartment of the co-pilot. Before he had time to touch the car keys, the car was already lit up—Wu Xiaoqing put two portable keys in the compartment. flashlight.

They each took pictures outside the dark car, Wu Xiaoqing jumped up on the seat twice excitedly, and shouted again: "This time I can walk! This spaceship must be more advanced than last time!"

Shen Changwen got out of the car cautiously, looked around the car, he doubted Wu Xiaoqing's judgment - they seemed to be in a large underground cave, looking at the top of this cave, you can clearly see some The appearance of naturally formed stalactites.The ground seemed to be paved with slate, and it felt a little slippery, with a moss-like layer growing on it.After looking around, except for the stone slabs on the ground, no artificial traces were found around.

No matter where it is, it should have been unused for quite a long time.

"Brother, where are you?" Wu Xiaoqing was a little excited, and shouted loudly, but the echo spread in the cave for more than ten seconds.

"You guys drive and follow me here." When this sentence was finished, a small light appeared in the darkness more than ten meters in front of their car——Wu Xiaoqing recognized that it was his mobile phone.

After the car was started and the high beams were turned on, the entire cave was immediately clear. They immediately noticed that there was a huge door less than 30 meters away from the front of their car. The height is at least [-] meters, and the width is also more than ten meters.

After parking at the door, Shen Changwen still doubted whether it was a real door, and tried to see the processing accuracy of the door from the joint of the two doors.But before he could research anything, the voice gave them a task: "Let's make the generator work first, this door needs power to open. I'll modify the starter..."

In the two laboratories managed by Shen Changwen, there are backup power supplies. He also saw workers install this thing at the beginning. The one Wu Xiaoqing bought is only much smaller in comparison, and the operation is much simpler.That is to say, it was a waste of effort to lift this thing out of the car with Wu Xiaoqing.

It only took more than three minutes, refueling, trial, and it was done in one go.When Shen Changwen finished the work at hand, he immediately rushed over to see how the talking "search and rescue team" worked.

"Dr. Shen, come here, there seems to be a voice over the door." Wu Xiaoqing greeted him.

Shen Changwen hesitated for a while and then passed, and saw Wu Xiaoqing pressing his ear to the door.He listened carefully first, and felt that he really heard some movement, as if there were many people moving in the distance behind the door.Then he followed Wu Xiaoqing's example and put his ears close together, and he felt that he could hear more clearly. He could even hear some syllables made by these people's loud voices, but he didn't know what it was—it didn't sound like any language he has come into contact with.

"Stand back a little, I'm going to open the door," the search and rescue team said, "Take a few deep breaths, keep calm, no matter what is behind the door, follow my instructions, understand?"

Both of them nodded together, and then, the huge door in front of them made a heavy sound. Following this sound, the voices they heard from behind the door were quiet for a while, and then suddenly became unprecedentedly enthusiastic .

……

It rained continuously for forty days.

As if the gods suddenly began to loathe this world, everything in the above-ground world, including grasslands, forests, farmland and herds of animals, has become a vast ocean under dark clouds, divided into isolated islands by floods, and as the water level rises, more and more Many isolated islands gradually began to disappear, and for those parts that did not disappear, all the creatures were trying to make the final struggle.

"Wu, start?"

"Look, wet."

Wu picked up a branch that had been placed for two days, and it was much more dry than two days ago.But he held it firmly with his hand, and when he let go, he could still feel a little wet on his hand.He shook the king's hand with this hand, and the king understood what he meant, but insisted: "The moon has been full twice, witch! The water is fast! Let's go!"

They are running out of time.

Wu tried his best to pick out some parts that were not too damp from this pile of branches, and first tried to put a small part of them that were the easiest to burn, and put them in a small fire in the center of the room. Soon, the choking smoke followed. The growth of the flames appeared together, and the king walked out of the cave in disgust, but the witch, in the smoke, began to present the ancient cheerful dance to the sun god and the star god, as well as the songs that had been passed down for more than ten generations.

Listening to the witch's song mixed with coughing, Wang couldn't help but look up at the sky. The torrential rain like a river made Wang almost despair. Would the sun god stop crying because of such a song?Will the star god appear because of the witch's dance?

A strong and tall figure appeared in the rain, and quickly bowed down in front of the king, reporting the latest news to the tribal envoys and sentinels:

"My lord, the patriarchs of the wolf tribe want to make an alliance. They taught us how to raise wolves, and we taught us to fish; the mountain where the cow tribe hid in the water has disappeared, and the peach is dead. The big fish bit it, and the big fish in the water A lot; Mount Kinabalu is still quiet."

"Let the wolf clan hand over half of the wolves and meat. Send two more boats, bring more food, and go west to find higher mountains. Tell them, if you can't find them, you don't have to come back."

After Wei retreated, Wang went around the entire tribe as usual.Several elders were suffering from fever. They had blood drains and took medicines, but they still didn't feel better.The children were too hungry to cry, but the king dared not give them the food that belonged to the warriors until there was good news.

Wang could feel that when he was patrolling, the eyes of all the clansmen would unconsciously gather towards him, but they soon dispersed after getting the answer from his face.

They are eager to get good news from themselves every day, just like they are eager to get good news from the sun god and the star god every day, but the good news is like the sun god behind the dark clouds, like the star god in the night sky, they are always It's all here, the key is whether you can wait.

"Wang, the fishing warrior is back." The expression on Wei's face was very tense, even if he faced a big bear alone, Wang did not see such an expression on Wei's face.

"How many fish did you bring back?" Wang asked nervously, but Wei didn't answer, which made him even more frightened. "How many died? What about the boat?"

"Only two came back, and they came back in a boat...one was dying, and the other wanted to talk to the king."

Wang followed Wei and hurried to the foot of the mountain.Along the way, he heard many people crying bitterly on the side of the road, and the crying made Wang's heart flustered even more, and he felt that all his internal organs were twitching.The fishing team went out with more than 20 people, all of whom are the strongest warriors in the clan, and they are also the main source of food for the entire clan. Now... now...

The only warrior who came back alive also had two terrible wounds. At first glance, it was the result of fighting with the big fish. After seeing the king, he immediately said: "King, you can't go out anymore. The big fish are in groups now. People from the Zhou tribe told us that if we go west for more than six days, there is a mountain higher than the sacred mountain, and there are tribes taking refuge on it, so they probably won’t welcome us.”

Wang muttered to himself, "But there is nothing to eat on the mountain anymore." Bark, leaves, mushrooms, mice...everything that could be found, the clansmen had spontaneously found and eaten.

"There are wolves!" said the warrior to the king.

The king shook his head lightly. He is a king, and his words should be like a sacred mountain. The sky cannot be moved, and the earth cannot be moved.He had just agreed to the covenant with the wolf, and if the people who had the wolf did not object, then the wolf would be his clansman.

For this sacrifice, Wu danced all night, and when he was carried out of the cave the next day, Wu almost collapsed.After Wang woke up and went to see him, the witch told Wang the result of the sacrifice: "The Star God asked us to wait."

"Where is the sun god?"

"The Sun God will continue to be immersed in sorrow, and his tears will engulf the entire world. Only the most devout believers can be saved by God."

Wang didn't know if he would continue to be pious, but he knew that the whole tribe had no other way to go.Just now, two big fish came ashore and dragged away a sentinel. The surrounding sentinels were frightened, and no one dared to rescue them. In the end, they watched helplessly that the sentinel was killed by more than a dozen large fish in the water. Divide the fish.

The reality can no longer give the clansmen any hope. The only hope is the few legends about gods left in those more ancient times.

According to legend, whenever a disaster strikes, the envoy of the star god will open the top of the sacred mountain, so that all the tribes that pray for protection can find peace and multiply.

Legend has it that the envoys of the star gods can fly into the sky, escape from the earth, and move mountains to fill the sea. They drive black birds that are bigger than mountains...

The king didn't expect the Star God to lead him and his clansmen to the illusory fairyland as in the legend. He only hoped that the clansmen could survive this disaster, and he only hoped that they could live the life of fishing, hunting and farming before the flood came. , even if he died under the claws of a ferocious beast in the end.

The king had already ordered all the tribe not to go near the water, and the only remaining tribe, the three boats bought from the boat tribe, were dismantled and used as fuel at noon.There are also some giant trees on the mountain, but their golden axes are hard to chop.

Wang planned that if the water level continued to rise, he would go into battle himself, organize the wolves and all the remaining warriors of the Jin clan, and start a bloody battle with the big fish.Regardless of the outcome, the victor will feed on the other.

The next day, just after dawn, the king got up and prepared to start distributing all the "golden wares". These gold wares are the last precious supplies of the tribe. Originally, the king planned to use these gold wares to exchange some fish and boats with the Zhou people. Yes, but now, he has no choice.

Suddenly, Wei's voice came from far away, with extremely high-pitched excitement: "King! Shenshan! Wang! Shenshan!"

"What happened to Shenshan?" Wang jumped up and ran in the direction of the voice.

"Sacred Mountain, there is movement in the sacred mountain!"

When Wang rushed to the top of the sacred mountain, both sides of the passage leading to the top of the sacred mountain were already densely packed with people.All the followers had heard the news that the Star God was coming, and all of them were full of excitement. They shouted the name of the Star God on the side of the road, and even danced spontaneously by the side of the road, imitating the appearance of a witch.

Wang took the lead and walked to the front of the crowd. The sentinel pointed to the mountain covered with vines in front of him, pointed to his left ear, and told his king, "With this ear, the whisper of God I heard is on the mountain. inside."

Wang listened carefully, but did not feel any movement.He walked to this straight stone wall again, carefully put his ears together, and listened carefully.

He listened for a long time, and he could feel something vibrating regularly inside the stone wall, like the heavy panting of a galloping beast, but he didn't hear the whisper of God, as the sentinel said.

The queen took seven or eight steps back, raised her head, and looked at the top of the stone wall, the totem belonging to the star god—countless stars were drawn into a vortex.According to legend, every time a star god appears, this totem will...

It's glowing!Wang rubbed his eyes hard, the totem was really glowing!

Before Wang could figure out the follow-up plot of the legendary totem's luminescence, at this moment, the whole mountain began to tremble heavily, as if the whole mountain was a sleeping giant waking up. Then, Wang clearly saw that what he was facing In the middle of the entire stone wall, there was a small gap.

Wang stepped back cautiously, stopped at a place more than 20 steps away from the stone wall, and quietly lay down his body, waiting for more miracles to come.Then, all the clansmen also imitated the king's appearance and lowered their bodies to the ground.

After a few breaths, the entire mountain peak trembled again. This time, everyone could clearly see that the stone walls of the entire peak were slowly separating.
