Volume 5 Indifference, the Nature of the World Chapter 130 To the Ancient Ruins
The bushes on the side of the road fluttered without the wind, and when I looked casually, a group of unidentified people appeared in the calm street, and with it, there was a gunshot at some point.
People were very cooperative, and in order not to cause trouble to the guards of Black Lake City, they avoided the scene one after another, and the streets that were originally bustling with people suddenly became extremely open. The guards set up their formation, and there were no more people in the way left here. After all, people are afraid of death, and although this group of guards is a guardian, if you stand in front of the enemy, they will treat you as air and kill you without doing anything.
After a period of calm, there were still people who began to resist, but it was a small part, and there were even people who had been expelled from Black Lake City.
One thing to mention here is that people may be familiar with "nationality" and "ancestral hometown", but what is "city nationality"? This does not refer to the "city nationality" in the allusion, but the "nationality" in this world and the real world.
Because the countries of this world, except for countries like the Dead Country, are basically super large cities like Black Lake City and Weidun City. And these cities, in fact, are like a country, and the cities are separated from each other.
So the "city register" appeared.
Now there are many former citizens of Black Lake City who have been forced to cancel their household registration in Black Lake City after the change of power, and have become vagrants who do not have the right to live in Black Lake City, and if they are harmed, Black Lake City will not help them. There are only two things they can do, find a new home, or wait to die.
But do you think that the revolt of those people is the whole story? No, because these people definitely didn't rebel spontaneously, there seemed to be people behind them.
Who those people who support them are, the center of Black Lake City does not know, but the current mayor can guess that those people are definitely not from Black Lake City, but they are not people who have lost their country. And this time they came to the city center, and the approach was very targeted, and the purpose was not to resist the cold-blooded regime, but to simply overthrow it.
Why would the incumbent mayor make such a suspicion? It is necessary to mention the recent discovery of the remnants of the "Black Death......
"Should we inform Bai Nanyu? ”
"No, I don't. ”
"But...... They ......"
"Have you forgotten who the boss is? can you not call your mother if you have something like a child, Bai Nanyu can protect us for a while, but it is impossible for us to hide behind her all the time. ”
After discovering the remnants of the Black Death in the city center and learning that they are still active, the Bad Boys also reacted to it. A member was discussing with Xiao Jing whether to inform Bai Nanyu, but Xiao Jing scolded and refused on the spot. In addition to the reason for saying it, in order to prevent them from becoming dependent on Bai Nanyu, there is also an unspoken reason, worried about Bai Nanyu's body.
Some people must think that if it is a lesson, it is actually just about caring about Bai Nanyu. This is shouting on the surface that others want to be self-reliant, but in fact, this is looking for an excuse to take a vacation for Bai Nanyu.
At this time, Bai Nanyu was on the way to the ancient ruins with a group of members of the science and technology group borrowed by the Bad Boy Alliance and the Border Self-Defense Force, and it would take three or four days to get there by car, how long has it been now, so let her worry about it? Let her go over there with peace of mind, when she completes the task over there of the ancient ruins, Black Lake City will be liberated, just hold on.
Bai Nanyu went out this time and went to the so-called "ancient ruins", as the name suggests, are the ancient ruins of this world. But that doesn't mean that it is a relic of a backward civilization, just like in some games or film and television works, this ancient ruins are the relics of a pre-civilization, and the magical power of Bai Nanyu was born from this pre-civilization. If you want to enter the ruins of the former civilization and still come out intact, you must have Bai Nanyu as the key to clearance, otherwise you will be infected with the "relic disease" if you stay in it for a while.
That's right, this is the terminal illness that I talked about a long time ago, once you have it, if you want to live, there is no other way but to return to the real world.
With this disease, the longer it drags on, the more painful it becomes, and it is better for those who suffer from this disease to die.
But even so, it still can't stop many people from going to the ancient ruins without the company of a "administrator" like Bai Nanyu. What they wanted was not piles of gold and silver treasures, if anything, it had been moved away by the surviving "administrators" a long time ago, and by the time Bai Nanyu's generation it was completely in ruins.
This is what the investigation team of the Bad Boys League learned about after discovering the ruins in person, and for this reason, the team that went to investigate the Bad Boys League contracted the "Relics Disease".
This relic disease is like a "curse of the mummy", which makes people talk about it, so why would anyone still go? like the infected boy at the beginning of the story.
That's because the ancient ruins are the only greenhouse where the "Origin Root" is cultivated, and once it leaves there, the Origin Root will no longer grow, and will even gradually grow old. However, if you can find the "Origin Root" there, then there is a way to go back, and you will not be afraid of any "relic disease" infection. At least according to legend, there are indeed people who have returned to the real world through the "Origin Root".
This is said by an old man who once came to this world and later successfully left. When he came to this world for the second time, he was no longer qualified to go back.
Because the "Origin Root" has such an ability to get people out of the sea of suffering, not to mention whether the legend is true or false, and how to use it to go back, at least he has a strong "commercial value".
Don't be surprised, don't say that this world has no commercial value, and even when the war is raging, some people make a fortune from it.
The ancient ruins are very dangerous, there are many broken robots in them, and some even crawl on the ground like zombies, and they will attack people when they see them, and if they are injured, they must be infected with "relic disease" on the spot. In addition, there are many mechanisms set up, and although most of them have been destroyed or exposed due to the destruction of the ruins, the remaining mechanisms still pose a considerable threat.
I don't know what the energy of those institutions is powered by, since the civilization flourished to the present, if the border of the dead country can have this half of the level of technology, it is estimated that the dead country has been destroyed countless times.
Then again, even if you dodge the robots and mechanisms, if you don't get out within two hours of entering the ruins, then you will be infected with "Relic Disease", and your condition will worsen exponentially until you die.
In this world, there is a "scavenger" who has the black job of going to ancient ruins to find things for people.
Of those who go, nine out of ten will not return, and one eighty percent has been infected. In fact, in order to treat the disease of the boy who was infected with the "relic disease" and agreed with Boss Wu to buy a limited edition novel, his sister took the black job, but after getting the root, he escaped alone.
However, when she happily thought that she was going back to reality, she encountered a "roadblock" who hated the "black-haired man".
Thinking of this, Bai Nanyu shook his head and looked out the window at the field that flashed quickly.
Now that they are far away from Black Lake City, their next stop is to rest temporarily at a rest stop in the nearest city, and it is estimated that it may be two days away.
Although Bai Nanyu insisted that her strength was the key to solving the mystery of the ruins and sending people back to the real world, she was actually not sure, and she didn't know if she could succeed. It's good if you can succeed after research, but it's embarrassing if you don't. When Bai Nanyu expressed this opinion at that time, someone replied that people still have "origin roots".
But in Bai Nanyu's eyes, it was just hyped up to be very "marketable", but no one knows whether he sent someone back in the end.
In the end, she still only believed in the words of the old man in the mountain, and only her own power could she contact the ancient ruins to send people back to the real world. After all, the old man in the mountains is a former civilized person, and what he says must be more reliable than rumors.
Still looking at the speeding wilderness, Bai Nanyu stopped thinking, silently put on his headphones, and listened to music for a long time.
The weather is getting colder, and it seems that winter is coming, and maybe the city is about to be covered with snow, which may not be beautiful, but a more oppressive gray.
There were many people walking the streets of Black Lake, and unlike not so long ago, they were chatting with people with a little more trepidation. That is, rebels in Black Lake City will be spotted at any time, and the guards will attack them desperately, and it will be uncomfortable if people inadvertently block the attack path.
However, for this reason, the city center has finally begun to relax a little "cold and arrogant", if there are citizens in the war zone, and the citizens are not very far away, otherwise the guards can choose to drive them away a little.
Of course, this "not very far" and "slightly driven" is actually simply "not in front of the enemy" and "quickly save and then take away". Although the city center did not say it explicitly, the captains of some guards couldn't stand this too indifferent law enforcement method, so they openly told the team members, and the team members also agreed that only a few people still insisted on the absolute "rationality".
Seeing that Black Lake City began to change gradually, it was inevitable that some people would start chattering, saying that Black Lake City was not firm enough, and that the absolute rational policy that was good began to change little by little, and it will definitely change back in the end.
I don't know if those people are anti-black, or deliberately criticize the city center, or just idle and panicked.
"Have the stubble guy's men cleaned up?"
"It's all cleaned up, and it's completely 'all clean'. ”
"Okay, then even if he's from our organization, oh no, completely disappeared from history. What a scumbag, actually rebelling against us for a little girl, hey. ”
"No wonder someone always says he's Lolita, it's really perverted, hahaha. ”
In a dilapidated room, a few people drank wine and chatted, as if they were old friends. I believe everyone has already guessed that they are the remnants of the "Black Death".
Originally, the "Black Death" was already on the verge of collapse, and as soon as the country took advantage of it, they completely fell apart. It is said that this group disbanded more than a month ago, but in reality, they are like the Bad Boys League, they just become quiet and stop publicizing anything about themselves.
And the "stubble" they are talking about at this time is the uncle who once looked for Bai Nanyu and still maintains the original heart of this organization. He has not been heard from for a long time, because he betrayed the current "Black Death", so the remnants regard him as an enemy, and at this time whether he is dead or hiding, the remnants do not know.
What they know is that after the stubble disappeared, his men, who had become civilians, were captured and brutally executed.
This can be regarded as a kind of venting for these perverts.
"There is really a kind of dead country, who actually treats us as tools and throws us away when we run out, are we still people?"
"Is it a person who will be a dead dog?"
"Why do I think you're scolding us?"
"Hahaha......"
While chatting, the door was suddenly opened, and several people in the room looked over with fear, and found that it was they who relaxed, and let out a disdainful "sigh".
"What are you doing here?" said one of the people in the room, shaking his head angrily, "Are all the tasks arranged?"
The man stood in the doorway and stood like that, not saying a word, just smiling.
It's a strange demeanor, like it's possessed by something, and it looks as stiff as a marionette. Could it be that there was someone behind him who coerced him to come here?
Oops, definitely!
Several people in the house reacted quite quickly, one person had already opened the window, ready to climb the windowsill and water pipe at any time, but they were not as quick as the person outside to walk in.
"If you've been discovered, then don't hide, you're already surrounded. ”
As a girl's voice fell, the group saw the figure in the doorway, and saw nothing else before they saw the seductive and unsettling blood-ruby eyes. Just when they were all stunned, one of them quickly reacted, lying on the windowsill and looking out of the window, but did not see half of the guards.
Is it in the hallway? Then we just go out through the window.
"One of you seems to have a question, so let me tell you. The figure at the door suddenly surrounded the black mist, "I'm alone, I surrounded you." Laugh if you want, because if you don't laugh again, you won't have a chance. ”
