Chapter 622: The Escaped Expedition

"That's it, but I still hope the peace talks will be successful." Urina said.

Brenda snorted and said, "What do you know? In this case, the two sides will likely reach a mutually compromised peace agreement in the end, but when the big trouble of artificial intelligence rebellion is resolved, the Federation will free up its hands to deal with my Maya Star Zone..."

When she said this, she was angry and didn't fight, staring at Jiang Ping and said, "If it weren't for this bastard's article 'On the Speedy Winning', would things have reached this point? Perhaps the Federation is still trapped in the quagmire of rebellion and cannot extricate itself, and I don't care about my Maya Star Zone!"

Jiang Ping still buried his head in eating and drinking, just pretending that he didn't hear it.

Urina defended him on the side and said, "It's no wonder that Jiang Ping is the one who proposed this 'on the quick victory', just to end the rebellion as soon as possible. He is a federal person, so it's natural to do so, not to deliberately oppose our Maya Star Zone."

Brenda snorted and said, "It's not intentional, I think he did it on purpose!"

Jiang Ping was too lazy to pay attention to it. Anyway, the other party had something to ask for him now, so what could he do to him?

After the next few days, the affairs of the Maya Base were almost done, so Brenda decided to return to the Maya Star Zone as soon as possible in the near future.

However, Jiang Ping was still worried about the dungeon ruins and kept dragging him away.

On this day, after hearing the news, Yurien, Garoki and others came back, but it was said that they escaped in a very embarrassing manner. Not only did they not get any golden treasures, but the team also suffered heavy losses, with nearly a hundred people, and in the end, only more than ten people escaped by chance.

Jiang Ping was not surprised to learn this news. Although the expedition team has the advantage of firepower weapons, the monsters with human heads, snake bodies and sphinx faces are not so easy to deal with. They are the products of the genetic technology of the evil alien civilization, with excellent physique and mysterious superpowers, and have the advantage of the geographical advantage. It is a blessing that Yulian, Garoki and others were unable to be wiped out, and it is already a blessing that they could escape a few by chance.

Just the day after Julian, Garoki and others escaped, Soltis sent a letter asking Jiang Ping to go and said there was something important to discuss.

Jiang Ping knew something was wrong, so he immediately got on a hover car and came to Genda's base.

The hover car dropped at the base airport. After getting off the car, he saw Soltis waiting there. His expression seemed a little uneasy.

Seeing this, Jiang Ping immediately asked the other party what happened. Soltis didn't say anything for a moment and led him into his hotel residence. After sitting down in a secret reception room, he took out something. He inserted it into a light-brain interface next to him and said solemnly: "Look."

Jiang Ping knew something was different, so he looked carefully at the Guangming screen.

The picture flashed on the light-brain screen, showing a huge palace-like building, which looked magnificent and solemn. The floors and walls inside seemed to be paved with gold.

In the center of the hall, there is a building that is suspected to be an altar. On the altar, there are several sculptures like gods. Seeing these sculptures like gods, Jiang Ping was a little stunned.

I saw that these sculptures, body shapes, limbs and facial features were similar to humans, except that their eyes were blood-colored. On the top of their heads, there was a horn standing, a god in the middle. The horn on his head was golden, and the gods around him were surrounded by several gods. The horn on his head was silver and black iron.

This image of "blood-eyed one-horned man" looks familiar, not the image you saw on the stone pillars in front of the dungeon ruins.

"Where did this video come from?" Jiang Ping asked.

Soltis said: "It was Yulian, Garoki and others who escaped from the dungeon ruins."

Jiang Ping's expression moved and said, "Oh, it seems that there are still some adventures in their adventure in the dungeon ruins."

Soltis said: "According to them, after they entered this Golden Hall, they were besieged by the army of monsters. Although they had the advantage of firepower, they were still outnumbered and forced to retreat. They suffered casualties all the way and suffered heavy losses. There were only a dozen people who could escape by chance..."

"What do you think of this Golden Hall?" Soltis asked after a while of silence.

Jiang Ping glanced at the picture a few more times and murmured: "It looks like a temple dedicated to gods, but it should not be the works of those monsters. It is probably something left over from the Dungeon Ruins civilization."

Soltis glanced at the sculptures of the blood-eyed one-horned man on the altar on the screen and asked, "Maybe these sculptures of gods are the images of the intelligent creatures of the civilization of the dungeon ruins?"

Jiang Ping didn't say anything for a moment, but felt that the other party's speculation was indeed very likely."

Soltis stared at the sculptures of gods on the screen for a long time, with a trace of solemnity and doubt on his face, and murmured to himself: "I think I have never seen such gods, but why do I always feel familiar when I see them? What's going on..."

As I thought about it, I couldn't help but stroke my hand on my forehead again.

Seeing her again showing a deep pain in thought, Jiang Ping persuaded: "Maybe I have forgotten some memories. Since I can't remember them, I don't need to think about them."

Soltis stretched his brows and stopped this meditation. At this time, he pointed to the center of the altar on the screen, and said with a solemn expression: "Have you discovered the abnormality of this stone in the center of the altar?"

Following her fingers, Jiang Ping looked at the center of the altar, where there were a square of crystal clear and slightly shiny stones. Rather than saying that it was a stone, it was a display screen. The patterns on it were some strange-shaped line runes, and were constantly changing.

He noticed the changing pattern just now, but he didn't care too much. Now that he heard the other party's solemn pointing out things, he didn't feel attentive.

After looking at the ever-changing lines and rune-like stone patterns, he looked at them for a long time, but he didn't see any of them.

He guessed that this should be an energy box, but I don’t know what its purpose is, or it is purely an ornamental toy?

"What is this? Does these changing line symbols have any special significance?"

He couldn't help asking. Although he couldn't see anything, he knew that the other party had the ability of the spiritual eye and might be able to see something strange.

Soltis looked solemn and his voice was uncertain, and he slowly said: "I think this may be a timekeeping device. The constantly changing line symbols on it are actually a numeric symbol similar to our Arabic numerals..."

"Oh, is that!" Jiang Ping was moved when he heard this, and felt that the other party's speculation was very novel.

Soltis continued: "This is the preliminary conclusion I came to after a day of careful observation. In fact, if the constantly changing lines and symbols above are compared with our Arabic numerals one by one, it will not be difficult to decipher the meaning contained in it."

Jiang Ping asked: "So, have you already reached a preliminary conclusion?"

Soltis nodded and said, "At first, when establishing this number correspondence, I encountered some troubles. There were always some problems. Later, I thought that maybe they were not the decimal counting method we are familiar with. Then I tried to analyze it with different carry systems. Finally, I found that if we use octal, we can successfully establish their corresponding connection with the Arabic numerals we use!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ping's expression moved again and then asked: "Then what is the meaning of cracking these ever-changing numbers?

Soltis's expression suddenly became solemn, and he said slowly: "I discovered that this stone with constantly changing symbols should be a countdown device..."

“Countdown device?”

Jiang Ping was moved when he heard this, and he couldn't help feeling uneasy.

What made him uneasy was not the countdown device itself, but what would happen when the countdown reached its end?

Since it is a countdown device, it must be counting down for something. When the time comes, that thing is about to happen.

In the Golden Hall of this dungeon ruins, this mysterious alien civilization has set up such a countdown device, which has to cause people to be uneasy and worried.

"Are you sure this is a countdown device?" Jiang Ping asked with a disquiet look.

Soltis shook his head and said, "No, I can't be sure, it's just a speculation."

Jiang Ping thought for a while and asked again: "Then you can calculate how long it will take for this countdown to come to an end?"

Soltis said: "I have calculated it. It only takes less than three months to convert the time to the earth of our humans. The countdown number will be zero."

"It only takes three months?"

Jiang Ping was shocked when he heard this and couldn't help asking again: "Are you sure you're not doing it wrong?"

Soltis shook his head and said, "I'm sure, there's nothing wrong with it."

Only three months?

This time is too short, almost fleeting, and no one can predict what will happen when this time arrives.

"Is it possible that when time comes, a landslide and tsunami will occur on Wang Heng's star, a huge earthquake and a flood, destroying the creatures and civilizations of this planet? Just like the evil alien civilization did on Earth before?"

Jiang Ping murmured to himself, this is the worst situation he could think of now.

Turning his head and seeing Soltis beside him, he seemed to be worried, and then said, "Soltis, are you worried? But fortunately, Wang Hengxing has not been developed for a long time. Even if it is really destroyed, the loss will not be too great, right?"
