vs 25 Devouring 7

"What's wrong?" Lu Wu took out the terminal he had just stuffed back into his bag. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"There are more than ten soldiers who have found Kecha Goat!" the signal was given by White Ash, and his voice was full of uneasiness. "Hurry, it's too dangerous!"

"How is it possible, didn't you just say that there are no enemies within five sight ranges around!"

"I don't know, but they're coming this way...... It's so fast, these guys can't run any slower than our car!"

"How's the distance?" asked Aqi's voice. "Is it time to meet?"

"At the moment, we are still out of sight, and I guess we have not been seen yet. But they're definitely coming prepared, they're coming straight for this side!" said Ash, but another voice interjected, it was the driver. "Ash and I are very close to the car, you can get in the car and try to lure them away! They're fast. It will be there in a few minutes!"

"Damn, we've definitely been discovered!" Aqi shouted a little angrily. "Everyone else, give up the task of finding the entrance, and now find a place to hide as much as possible!"

Lu Wu and Amber exchanged a look.

"This way," Amber said. As mentioned earlier, there is no place to hide in this area due to the melting of metal due to the high temperature. And the amber is pointing to the front of the direction of the source of the terrifying heat explosion that melts the surrounding metal. As for why you can see it - you can tell by looking at the melted metal debris around you.

"Amber, it's not here...... According to you, the direction of the backup energy leak?"

"Yes, that's right. But maybe there's a backup energy entry over there! If it's not too badly damaged, then I should be able to open that entrance and let us go inside the ruins. Believe me, Lu Wu, I'm a top student in equipment tutorials. ”

After a short period of time, Lu Wu saw the "entrance". It's not so much a door for people to enter and exit as it is for a bank vault. Amber's guess was right, the door wasn't much damaged, or it could be said that it wasn't damaged at all, even the threads on the edges were intact. But the thickness and width of this door make people completely lose the desire to open it at a glance, not to mention that Lu Wu is still on the inside of the door at this moment - that is to say, even the switch to open the door is not on Lu Wu's side.

"How do you open this door?"

Amber's body blurred, quickly changing from a real entity to a faint, ghost-like state. Then she walked through the heavy metal wall. After a few minutes, the door began to push slowly.

"Damn, they ...... They're coming!" As he opened the door, Lu Wu heard the driver's voice in the terminal.

"Did they catch up with you?" Aqi's voice rang out. Her voice was so soft that she couldn't hear anything. But anyone can imagine that when she spoke, her expression was not very optimistic. "They're running so fast?"

Although everyone already knows that Kecha Goyat is amazingly fast, sprinting and long-distance running are two completely different things.

"No, they saw me, but ignored me and walked towards the rubble. White Ash said. "I hope each of you is already in the ruins. ”

"How's their speed?"

"Soon, but I looked at it and it should be slightly inferior to the vehicle. The driver said. "Not carrying an obvious ranged weapon, I think I can pick it up outside. As long as I stay vigilant, they shouldn't be able to catch up with me. But now we're too far away from the ruins to pick up everyone!"

"Let's find a way to get into the ruins first...... "Aki finally concluded. It should be said that this is the only feasible strategy at the moment. "It's big enough that we can get out of the car as long as we can get rid of them. ”

……

If the feeling outside of this ruin is "huge", then the feeling inside is "empty".

It's been a long walk, but it feels like you've entered a ghost town, a ghost town where the world is slightly tilted.

"Here...... It should be a warehouse, right?" Lu Wu looked at everything in front of him. Huge, crooked and broken pipes, messy, untold ruins of what they were, and on the ground. On the ground, there is a thick layer of ash, I don't know what it is.

"By the way, Amber, are there any living people in here?" In fact, after seeing this ruin, Lu Wu has been thinking about this question. Or rather, he always felt that it was possible. But I don't know why his companions, from Ah Qi to Xiaoxiao, don't mention it, and don't seem to think about it at all.

"No way. Amber immediately flatly denied it. "After the crash, everything that can still be walked is gone, right?"

There should be a lot more that can't be left. Lu Wu remembered the previous "living area" (although Amber didn't say what kind of living area it was, but I don't think it was a soldier) melted and recooled the metal plate formed by it. The place was indeed completely destroyed, and there could be no survivors in the heat of melting metal. Although that is only a tiny, tiny part of the fortress. But there are already similar disasters elsewhere.

But Lu Wu could guess that there must be many people who survived. Because at the time of the crash, the fortress was already in the highest state of combat readiness, and there must have been a lot of personnel inside. Since the fortress as a whole is so well maintained, a large part of so many people must still be alive.

"We should be in ...... right now The basement of the Floating Fortress is such a place. Amber said. The light around her was terrible, but luckily she used her magic to create a little light. Let Lu Wu be able to move forward normally.

"Well, the evacuated personnel should take everything with them, right?" Lu Wu asked. Amber immediately answered in the affirmative. The answer is actually quite obvious. What force could stop those people from taking away things like vehicles, exoskeletons, armor, and so on, not to mention things like gold and silver that were easy to carry and of high value.

"Since they will definitely take everything they can," Lu Wu said. "But what's in there...... Of course, there will always be some omissions in a hasty evacuation, but what reason is there to think that the mysterious and precious treasure must still be in the ruins and not taken away?"

……

"This should be the Governor's residence!"

As soon as the box entered the hallway through the passage opened by the bald head, he immediately felt the difference in the place.

The corridor is made up of two colors, the cold white of the metal, and the translucent reddish, the former being a normal metal, and the latter a translucent crystal like a red crystal.

Perhaps because the energy system wasn't completely damaged, the light here was nice - it was filled with a hazy white light coming from nowhere. It's a little dim, but it's not a problem to see at all.

"It is said that the Assassins entered the Governor's residence......" The bald head followed in, and he also looked around. Although he said he had climbed and seen more than one floating fortress, it was usually for military purposes. That is, a focus on practicality rather than luxury. Even if an officer wanted to show off his wealth, he would at best decorate his room beautifully, rather than make the whole building so magnificent. This kind of luxurious decoration is really not common.

The bald head recognized the red, crystal-like, translucent crystal as a companion mineral of the Resonance Stoneβ€”it had no obvious purpose, but it did look beautiful.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It looks like that legend is true. ”

There were many corpses lying on the ground. The corpses were wrapped in simplified exoskeleton armor - it was clear that these were the Governor's guards. And this place should have been attacked by the heat, and the corpses were charred black.

The bald head crouched down curiously and examined the corpse. The cause of death of several bodies was simple - a broken neck bone. That is, someone twisted their neck.

It's okay to break one or two, but to be able to break the necks of so many people...... Not even the high-ranking warlocks, including the bald heads, could do it. In other words, trying to do this kind of thing is really similar to looking for death. You must know that although these guards are ordinary people, they are definitely strictly selected, the best in the army, experienced, determined, and rigorously trained.

But it seems that they failed to cause the Assassin much trouble.

The box didn't care about that, he focused on another important point: the exoskeleton armor on several corpses had been removed, some parts had been removed, and of course some had not been touched. However, a little inspection revealed that all of these untouched exoskeleton armors were damaged for various reasons.

The box stood up disappointed. It seems that the survivors of the ruins did not forget to do a good job of searching the Governor's Mansion when they retreated - of course, this is normal.

There won't be too many valuables left here.

However, the bald head clearly did not show any disappointment. While the box examined the body, looking for anything that could still be used, the bald head looked around. The warlock clearly had no interest in anything else, or rather, his goal was very clear and straightforward from the start.

The two men met halfway through - the ruins were so large and so well connected that it really took more than a bit of luck to say that two people came together.

"This way," said the bald head. "This can only be counted as the periphery of the mansion. ”

"This assassin is terrifying. The box sighed. Assassins generally hide their identities and do not strike until they are close to their prey. However, the Assassin seems to have been exposed to his identity on the periphery - but this did not prevent him from completing his mission. From this you can see how terrible he is.

"This place should have been looted, and there won't be anything left. "The box has lost interest in this expedition. Not even the corpses of the guards at the gate have been spared, and it is almost impossible to imagine that there are almost no belongings inside. Of course, it doesn't matter if you go and see it under normal circumstances, but the current situation is not good. The soldiers of Kecha Goat had already entered the ruins. You must know that the Governor's Mansion is a dead end - how to get in and out, in case you get blocked by those monsters, it will be over.

"Let's go. The bald head didn't seem to hear the box's words at all, and his expression was as excited as if he was standing at the foot of the golden mountain.

"Where to go?" asked the box.

"There's a place in the Governor's Palace," said the bald head. "A place of little particular importance, for the temporary storage of various materials for the Inspector General to see. Paper, electronic, and even magical. Of course, there are also some gifts that have been given. ”
