The ruins area investigated by William and Halsey covers a very large area.

Because the ground is paved with huge bricks, the place is not flooded by shrubs, grass and other plants. Only some stubborn weeds emerge from the gaps between the stone bricks.

Most of the buildings are one-story houses. On the stone walls of the houses are Hieroglyphs that have never been seen before, and there are also murals expressing different meanings.

The drainage system in the ruins is perfect, and even in this rainy and humid jungle, there is no excessive moss or stagnant rainwater.

According to the measurement of the escort machine (Assault MS), it was concluded that the area of the ruins area is approximately 120,000 square meters, and the buildings are arranged in an orderly manner.

Located in the center of the entire area is a pyramid similar to Mayan Civilization.

This pyramid is also the focus of this survey. At this time, under the protection of the blue team and a large number of Marine Corps, it is being investigated by the research team led by Halsey.

As for William, Serena and others, they investigated the southern location of the pyramid.

.

Holding Pulse Rifle and William, I walked slowly on the stone brick square of the ruins and looked at the murals and Hieroglyphs.

He couldn't help but sigh to Serena who was following him, "It seems that Alien Civilization on this planet should be very similar to us humans, and they have developed their own language and writing."

"Well, I also compared these characters with Mayan characters and found that there is a 43% similarity.

I think the civilization of this planet should have had contact with the ancient civilization of our earth, or at least communicated with Mayan Civilization in America."

Serena, who was copying the murals and texts, gave her opinion after hearing William's sigh.

"Ah, who told the Spanish gangsters to burn all the Mayan books, otherwise they should let us know more information about ancient civilizations."

William When I think of the colonists in the sixteenth century, especially the Spanish military bishop Dinago de Landa, I will inevitably feel a little annoyed.

The only remaining murals and texts of the Maya are difficult for modern scholars to study thoroughly, not to mention that the Maya had a large number of books before.

Unfortunately, many Mayan books were burned in 1562 and can never be reproduced.

"Boss!"

At this moment, a paratrooper in charge of the escort reported to William in the communication, "We found a very suspicious entrance."

While reporting, the paratrooper also shared his location and marked it on the map on the helmet screen of nearby personnel.

"Okay, I'll be right away."

William used the communication to reply and led Serena to the paratrooper's location.

Following the route calculated by Personal Computer, the two left the spacious street of the building complex and passed through an alley, finally arriving at the location of the paratrooper.

Behind the paratrooper who was reporting, there was a gate that four people could enter abreast. It should be the entrance to the underground of the ruins.

Subsequently, other paratroopers in charge of William and Serena also arrived here one after another.

William walked to the entrance and could only see pitch black without turning on the night vision function.

Upon seeing this, William shared the location here with the Mammoth and said to Halsey in the communication:

"Catherine, we found a suspected entrance to the underground. Do you want to come over and take a look?"

"I also made a new discovery here, and I can't get away for the time being. Oh, by the way, Serena is following you, isn't it? It would be great if she could help me copy the data."

"Okay." After hearing Halsey's words, William turned on the night vision and scanning functions, walked into the entrance and ordered:

"Everyone, follow me."

"Yes."

Relying on the external lighting provided by Individual Equipment and the night vision function of the mask, William can clearly see the steps extending downward.

After walking downward for about half a minute, everyone arrived at the underground of the ruins.

Through the Pulse Scan function, I found that this place is extremely spacious, and the location in the center of the underground space seems to correspond to the pyramid on the surface.

There is a long bridge directly in front of the entrance where they are, and under the bridge is a pool that covers the entire underground space.

There are human-shaped statues of equal proportions and numbers on both sides of the bridge. This is also the first time Umbrella has discovered a human-shaped statue on Kepler 22-b.

William approached a statue and looked at it through the night vision system of the mask.

The 'person' of the statue stands in a standing position, holding a spear similar to that on the earth, and has armor covering the whole body.

Due to the obstruction of the helmet, William could not see this 'human' face more clearly, but he vaguely felt that the other person's facial features were similar to those of humans.

It seems that the advanced creatures on this planet really have some connection with humans.

William used his Individual Camera to record what he saw, and then continued to lead everyone deeper.

When they came to the bottom of the pyramid, they found that it was a large platform with some kind of strange 'ring ○' in the center.

What surprised everyone present was that the 'ring' did not stand on the stone bricks of the platform, but floated at the center of the platform as if it had some kind of anti-gravity stance.

Just as William previously refuted the words of UNSC researchers, you cannot rely on building materials and arbitrarily believe that the other side's civilization does not have "high technology".

At least among the major ruins on Earth, no technological device like a 'ring' has been found yet.

"Boss, the other party's Anti-gravity System is completely different from the Reaper Civilization we use."

At this time, Serena, who was standing next to William, walked slowly to the edge of the platform and looked at the water pool and said:

"The waterhole is connected to a certain river in the jungle, and the platform we are standing on seems to be able to generate enough electricity through the water flow to make their Anti-gravity Device effective."

"Only by the water flow?" William also walked slowly to Serena's side, looking at the unremarkable pool and lost in thought.

"Click!"

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound behind the two of them, as if someone had triggered some kind of mechanism.

Turn around and look.

I saw a paratrooper who was checking his surroundings. His left foot stepped on a stone brick, and the stone brick sank instantly after feeling the force.

"Buzz~buzz---buzz~!"

Immediately afterwards, the ring in the center of the platform began to rotate clockwise, and its speed gradually accelerated.

When the speed reaches its peak, it also emits a dazzling blue light, illuminating the entire underground space.

The sudden change forced William and all the paratroopers to turn off the night vision function to observe the ring.

"Boss, this, I..." The paratrooper who accidentally touched the mechanism looked at William and Serena and said, "Did you do something wrong?"

"No." Serena slowly approached the radiating ring and said quietly to the paratrooper:

"This device is not some kind of weapon. The mechanism you just touched just activated it."

When the ring remained stable, Serena, whose pupils emitted a faint blue light, said to William, "Boss, this seems to be a Teleportation Device."

{Everyone, the author should take a day off tomorrow. School is about to start and I need to go to school to do some things~}
