"A code? You mean, these symbols might be the key to unlocking the secrets of the pyramids?"
Li Gang nodded: "Yes, we have already started deciphering it, but it will take time."
Director Wang pondered for a moment: "We don't have much time left. You must immediately organize the best cryptographers and archaeologists to do everything in your power to decipher these symbols."
"Yes, Director!" Li Gang immediately sprang into action.
Director Wang looked at the pyramids again, his anxiety and sense of urgency growing even stronger.
He knew that every failed expedition meant the loss of a life, and he could not let anyone else sacrifice themselves in vain.
As he gazed at the pyramids, something seemed to be watching him from their shadows, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.
What secrets does this pyramid hold? Why does it pose such a huge threat to humanity?
Director Wang knew he had to find the answer as soon as possible.
He not only wanted to avenge the fallen warriors, but also to unveil the mysteries of this pyramid for the future of humanity.
and many more?
Symbols? For some reason, Director Wang had a sudden thought and called Li Gang back.
"Time is tight and the task is heavy, I have an idea."
After a pause, Director Wang continued.
"What I mean is, while deciphering the secrets, could we make rubbings of these symbols and turn them into amulets or something similar, so that the teams going into the pyramid could wear them and see how effective they are?"
Chapter 618 Deep Sea Journey
He didn’t understand why Director Wang would suddenly bring up such an idea. What was so special about these symbols that made the director so concerned?
"Director, why are you doing this?"
Li Gang asked hesitantly.
"We haven't even figured out the meaning of these symbols yet. Even if we make rubbings of them, will they really be able to protect us?"
Director Wang's gaze was firm. He turned around to face Li Gang, his tone revealing an undeniable determination.
“I know this sounds a bit superstitious, but we can’t afford not to try every possible method.”
"I believe these symbols must have some special meaning to be preserved so well in the pyramids."
"Moreover, if these symbols are indeed related to the secrets of the pyramids, then they may be able to protect our people to some extent."
"Most importantly..."
"Xiao Li, you need to understand that our current situation is exactly the same as that of the ghost story world. Time waits for no one, and we must engage in endless trial and error!"
otherwise
If Cthulhu were to be revived, humanity across the entire planet would suffer a devastating blow.
After listening, Li Gang remained silent for a moment, and finally nodded.
"I understand, Director. I will immediately arrange for people to make rubbings, and then find the best jade craftsmen to engrave the symbols on the jade pendant."
Director Wang nodded in satisfaction, then turned and looked once again at the mysterious pyramid.
He knew in his heart that this might only be a sliver of hope, but in such a life-or-death moment, even the smallest hope was worth grasping.
Soon after, a batch of exquisite jade pendants were made, engraved with the strange symbols found on the outskirts of the pyramids.
These jade pendants were handed over to the special operations team, and each member was told that they might be a protective charm.
While no one can guarantee its true effectiveness, every possible protection is invaluable in such an unknown adventure.
The members of the special operations team exchanged glances. Most of them were pragmatists and didn't have much hope for something that seemed useless.
However, they still carefully hung the jade pendant on their chests.
Because they knew that Director Wang wouldn't make a decision without reason; this decision must have been made after careful consideration.
And so, the special forces team carrying the jade pendant stepped into the pyramid once again. Although their hearts were filled with uncertainty and doubt, they also felt a strange sense of peace.
Meanwhile, Director Wang and Li Gang waited anxiously outside, hoping for a breakthrough and the unveiling of the secrets hidden deep within the pyramid.
On the other hand, the cast of characters for the ghost story world has been fully selected, and there seem to be many of them.
There were more than 300 people.
But in reality, there are very few, as there are only a little over three hundred people.
The atmosphere at the Shanghai-Hong Kong base was heavy and tense, with everyone's face filled with determination.
Because at this critical point, the supreme commander of the ghost story world is a middle-aged man in military uniform with shining stars on his shoulders.
He stepped into the command center and personally took charge.
His arrival undoubtedly brought a heavy pressure to everyone.
After all, this commander's name is known to everyone in the world of ghost stories, and his decisions often concern the fate of the entire world.
"I know that you are all aware of the dangers of this operation."
His voice was deep and powerful, resonating in everyone's ears.
"The more than 300 elite talents in front of us are just a test for us in the deep sea."
He stared directly at everyone present, his gaze sharp and penetrating, like a knife.
"I didn't have much hope."
He continued speaking, his voice devoid of any emotional fluctuation, as if stating an indisputable fact.
Everyone present lowered their heads silently, knowing that what was about to happen might be even more cruel.
"To put it bluntly, we did not expect that these 300-plus people would be able to return alive in this plan."
The Supreme Commander's words struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.
A faint sense of despair permeated the air, but there was also a sense of unwillingness and determination.
These chosen individuals are the elite of the elite; they know their mission, and even in the face of death, they have no right to back down.
"But we have to do it!"
The Supreme Commander's voice rang out again, breaking the somber atmosphere.
"We need to know about the creatures in the deep sea, the potential threats, and their true situation. We need this data and this experience, even if it means risking our lives."
"This is not only for ourselves, but also for the future of the ghost story world, and for the tomorrow of all mankind."
His words were filled with a tragic beauty, and everyone could feel the heavy sense of responsibility and mission he carried.
Over the next few hours, more than 300 team members underwent final checks and instructions.
Their equipment was carefully inspected; every piece of equipment was crucial, and every preparation could be the difference between life and death.
Each of them knew full well that this time, they might never see this blue sky again, never return to their warm homes.
But not one of them backed down, not one of them was afraid.
Because they are the warriors of the ghost story world, they are the guardians of humanity.
Under the watchful eye of the supreme commander, these warriors embarked on their journey to the deep sea, their silhouettes appearing exceptionally resolute under the base's lights.
The supreme commander stood quietly in the command center, his eyes deep, as if pondering a more profound question.
He knew this was just the beginning; the real battle was only just beginning.
The operator's fingers flew across the keyboard, her eyes glued to the image on the screen.
With a few keystrokes, the camera footage from inside the nuclear submarine appeared on the large screen, clearly showing the situation inside.
In the footage, more than 300 team members are changing gear in a tense but orderly manner. They have taken off their ordinary diving suits and put on the latest high-end diving equipment.
These diving suits are made of special materials that can not only withstand extreme water pressure, but also defend against attacks from unknown creatures to a certain extent.
The team members moved with practiced speed and skill, clearly having undergone countless simulation training sessions.
Each person wore a calm and focused expression; they knew that once they dived into the deep sea, any small mistake could lead to disastrous consequences.
The diving suit's helmet is fully enclosed and equipped with advanced communication systems and life support devices.
One by one, the team members put on their helmets, and as the helmets were locked, their faces disappeared behind the metal and glass.
The operator conducted a final check through the internal communication system to confirm that each team member's equipment was in optimal condition.
"Attention all team members, check your oxygen supply and communication equipment."
The operator's voice came through each team member's headset.
The team members reported their status one by one, their voices without the slightest fluctuation. They were ready and at any time to face the unknown challenges of the deep sea.
"Oxygen supply is normal."
"The life support system is functioning well."
As the team members reported, the operator checked off each item in the system to confirm, and then reported the situation to the highest commander.
The supreme commander stood at the front of the command center, his eyes sweeping over the team members on the screen one by one. He could feel the determination and courage of these warriors.
"Very good, initiate the deep-dive procedure."
