Bird Feeding Instructions

Although Gilbert suddenly lost his place, Lin Qin was brave and careful, and saw the bottomless pit on the ground at a glance.

Lin Qin: "...Did he think I fell?"

Very likely!

Lin Qin couldn't help but rolled his eyes, walked to the edge of the pit and looked down.

Although deep, it's not a perfectly vertical hole, and there is a slight slope. If you are careful, you should be able to go down safely.

Lin Qin carefully sat on the edge of the pothole and put his legs in.

But after all, the slope was steep, even if it was a slide, Lin Qin was a little timid, he changed several positions on it, and he dared not slide down.

Lin Qin was struggling, when suddenly someone pushed him from behind, Lin Qin screamed in fright, and instantly slid into the hole.

The hole was very deep. Lin Qin covered his mouth after screaming, worried that the hole would collapse. It wasn't until Lin Qin felt that his pants were about to be worn out that his downward trend slowly stopped. down.

Panting heavily, Lin Qin raised his head and glanced back at the entrance of the cave, but unfortunately, the person who pushed him down did not intend to check his situation, and he saw nothing.

However, it was clear at a glance who the murderer was. Adonis was the only one in District [-] who could push him, except for Gilbert.

Lin Qin: "It's completely waiting for an opportunity to retaliate!"

But he made the move to come down first, and Adonis probably watched him for a long time before coming up to "help" him. There should be no bad intentions, just cheap hands.

Lin Qin sighed helplessly, and began to observe the situation around him.

Although it was a bit reckless for Gilbert to jump into this hole without even screaming, it has to be said that this hole was probably the entrance to Yiri's laboratory back then.

The road in front of him was not as dark as imagined. Apart from the soil, there were some shiny crystals on the ground, mixed with fragments of alloy fragments, and a small amount of alloy was also inlaid on the walls of the surrounding caves.

Lin Qin took a closer look and found that although there was soil on the alloy surface on the cave wall, it was actually inlaid in a very docile way. But for some reason, most of it broke and fell to the ground.

Lin Qin looked at the Avenue of Stars paved with alloys and crystals in front of him, and then looked up at the very simple dirt slide that he had just slid down, and a thought flashed in his mind.

But before that, he had to get Gilbert back.

Lin Qin followed this passage and began to move forward.

The passage is not straight, and there will be a curved arc within a short distance, making Lin Qin unable to see the situation ahead.

However, Lin Qin wasn't worried that something would suddenly appear in front of him. After all, Gilbert had already passed by here, and even if there was something, it should be dealt with.

Thinking this way, Lin Qin just turned a corner when a lump of mud the size of a basketball flew towards him.

Lin Qin: "..."

Lin Qin bent down to dodge it quickly, and saw that the passageway that only allowed one person to pass through suddenly widened, forming an underground cave with a full area of ​​more than 100 square meters. In it, an earthworm-like monster was being beaten by Gilbert.

The lump of soil just now was thrown out by the earthworm when it was struggling.

Seeing that the earthworm was about to be divided into two by Gilbert, Lin Qin quickly shouted: "Pengpeng! I'm here!"

Gilbert was distracted, and the earthworm immediately seized the opportunity and escaped from another hole.

Gilbert didn't go after it, and when he saw Lin Qin, he immediately rushed towards him, holding Lin Qin tightly in his arms.

Lin Qin was strangled enough, he slapped Gilbert on the back, and said, "Are you stupid, if I really fell, why don't you yell?"

Gilbert's heart finally settled down after seeing Lin Qin, he let out a long breath and said, "I thought you were eaten by that monster just now."

Lin Qin: "... Please let him go, he was beaten by you just now so he couldn't open his mouth to bite you, how could he eat me."

Gilbert hugged Lin Qin, stretched out his hand to rub his back, and did not speak.

Lin Qin sighed, knowing that the other party was too worried about him, so he couldn't bear to blame him for being reckless, so he said: "But it's not a bad thing, I suspect that this tunnel is the secret road leading to the Yiri laboratory. .”

Gilbert nodded: "I thought so too, but there is only one road from the place we came down to here, and the direction is farther and farther away from the tree of heaven. The laboratory is in the tree of sky , then if this road continues, it will not lead to the laboratory.”

"You are right. The direction we are going in is indeed not the direction to the laboratory, but the direction of the real entrance of this passage."

Gilbert froze for a moment, as if he understood something.

Lin Qin said: "If you want to set up a secret passage, then the entrance must not be placed near the target location, but in a hidden location far away from the target location. Although the cave we came down to is connected to the secret passage, it is not actually The entrance to the secret passage is just an extra exit drilled by the monster just now."

"Yiri's secret passage was set up underground, but unexpectedly, it was drilled by creatures living in the soil, and it was used as their 'path'. Over time, the real intersection leading to the laboratory was crawled to the ground by these creatures It was covered by the soil brought down by time." Lin Qin said: "If I guess correctly, we are going back to the place we just came down from, and the real passage should be in the direction where there seems to be no road, but even if the real passage is buried, The soil layer will not be too thick, we should be able to dig it out after digging."

Gilbert looked at Lin Qin quietly without speaking for a while.

"What's the matter?" Lin Qin touched his face in confusion: "Is there any dirt? Or is there something wrong with what I said?"

Gilbert shook his head: "No, you are quite right."

After a pause, he said seriously again: "Very powerful."

Lin Qin smiled: "That's why I want to follow. If you are alone, you may find it when you find it."

Gilbert nodded gravely.

Lin Qin was so teased that he led him back.

Not long after, the two returned to the place where they had just come down. Lin Qin looked up and complained, "I didn't find a good posture when I came down, and I was pushed by someone. It must be Adonis. Yes, he said that he would not go with us, but his body followed us honestly."

Gilbert didn't get Lin Qin's slot, but he nodded very seriously, then reached out and inserted his hand vigorously into the soil in front of him.

Gilbert's hand went all the way up to his shoulder before stopping.

"How is it?" Lin Qin asked.

Gilbert nodded: "There is indeed room."

He pulled out his hand and started digging, with Lin Qin helping.

Gilbert's strength was great and his speed was fast. Before long, there was only a thin layer of soil covering the passageway. Lin Qin pushed forward, revealing the road behind the soil layer.

Different from the fragmented passage just now, this secret passage hidden behind the soil layer is all inlaid and fixed by alloys. Large pieces of luminous gemstone crystals are made into lamps and fixed on both sides of the passage. A road hundreds of years ago, so brand new as if it had just been built, the buildings outside now can't compare at all.

For Lin Qin, the decoration of these gem lamps alone is many times more beautiful than the cold corridors he saw in the research institute and the executive headquarters.

"I don't know what material Yiri used. It has been buried underground for so long, and there is no sign of corrosion at all." Lin Qin asked curiously.

"After all, Yiri was the greatest scientist at that time, and it is not uncommon to invent any materials." Gilbert said.

Lin Qin nodded and walked forward with Gilbert.

The road they are walking now runs from the foot of the Sky Tree to the root zone directly below it.But with the diameter of the Sky Tree, even if it was a straight line, it took them a long time to walk.

Lin Qin took out the communicator and looked at it. They had gone from day to night.

After eating, Lin Qin and Gilbert walked for another hour or so before actually reaching their destination.

Compared with the space in front of them, the underground cave dug by that earthworm just now is like the contrast between quail eggs and ostrich eggs.

If it is not the tree of the sky, but other trees are replaced, and such a large hole is dug under its roots, it may have sunk into the ground!

The space in front of him was so wide that Lin Qin thought he had arrived at some large and empty square. This square was filled with bookshelves, and every row of bookshelves was packed with books, some of which were academic books, and some of them were Yiri books. Handwritten notes, and even many fairy tales.

However, unlike the alloy channel outside, these books are all solid paper, which has become very fragile after so many years. Lin Qin held his breath when he looked closely, not to mention touching it, for fear of damaging the writing on them. up.

But in this large densely packed bookshelf, let alone [-] books and notes, there are [-] books. If he and Gilbert were to find research materials on the first genetic evolution project, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack. .

Lin Qin couldn't help looking at Gilbert: "All the books are mixed together, and there is no pattern at all. Do you want to just search for them?"

The author has something to say: _(:зゝ∠)_
