Chapter 42: Retreat

"Then it's a question of whether this thing can get us out." Xingyu said, swinging her arms slightly behind her back to cover the scary-looking wounds, "I'll see if I can open this passage." ”

Xingyu said and began to act again, picking up the metal plate in the same way and probing towards the mysterious stone wall that turned out to be the passage.

As the metal plate approached, the stone wall once again showed a pattern like water waves.

There is hope! He Li's eyes lit up and watched the star rain continue.

The metal plate was attached to the stone wall, and it suddenly emitted a bright and dazzling light, and the white light turned into a gauze curtain, enveloping the stone wall. Then, like the phantom of a projector, the stone wall slowly receded and dissipated.

What was revealed was a dim cave ** passage, with water ripples on the walls of the passage, the ground was dry, and a thick layer of gravel and sand was paved, on which the footsteps of the two people were vaguely seen when they came.

"Solved! It seems that this metal plaque is a token to get people out of here, and it may be something that the people who built here can use when they enter and exit! Xingyu analyzed, and put the metal card down in He Li's hand.

"Hmm." He Li nodded very perfunctorily and casually, quickly ran into the passage, and pulled him over with a handful of Xingyu by the way, as if he was afraid that the stone wall would appear strangely in the next second and block the two of them inside.

"Sister, let's go first! Let's go back and talk about it, and I'll find a way to see if I can open this ruin when I have the ability in the future. Xingyu said.

"Hmm." He Li nodded, "Let's go!" ”

The two walked back down the passage.

"By the way, Xiaoyu, aren't you afraid that the people from the survivor base will take control of this place and get there first?" He Li thought of a very serious problem, weren't they just worried that the people of the survivor base would take control of the development ruins before they entered like this?

Although that formation exists, they always encountered similar things when they developed ruins in the past, right? They should have a solution, then the ruins will fall into the hands of the survivor base, and then they will have no share.

For the ancient civilization, He Li has a lot of interest, and losing a mysterious ruin, not only He Li, but also Xingyu is unwilling.

"It's okay now." Xingyu said, "That formation should be able to protect this ruin." ”

"Then if you came across something similar when you were developing ruins in the past, there should always be a solution, right?" He Li asked, "What if they solve that formation?" ”

"They settle the formation?" Xingyu burst out laughing, as if he had heard some funny joke, and asked rhetorically, "What are their abilities to solve the formation?" ”

"In the past, when similar things were encountered in the development of ruins, they were violently destroyed, and many people were sacrificed every time they did this." Xingyu explained, "If conditions permit, this kind of thing will generally be directly destroyed by bombing and blasting, and if it is more troublesome, it will also use sabotage methods, like this ruin, if it was placed in the past, it is estimated that it will directly use nuclear bombs or some other new weapons to attack to destroy the formation." ”

"Aren't they worried about ruining the ruins?" He Li asked a little surprised, she really couldn't imagine that when she encountered a ruin that couldn't be opened, she would use this way to directly destroy it.

"The ruins are generally stronger. What's more, for them, a broken ruin where they can find a lot of good things is worth much more than a ruin that is intact but can only be looked at outside. Xingyu sneered, and He Li could tell in his words that he seemed to be very disgusted with those people.

"So we don't have to worry about it!" Xingyu took a deep breath and said, "Under the current conditions, it is impossible for them to develop this relic in this way, even if they have a nuclear bomb, they will not use the nuclear bomb to develop this relic until those zombies are cleaned up." Now, a nuclear bomb that can clean up zombies and destroy super-powerful biochemical creatures is much more useful than a relic that can only be used for research. So I think they're going to keep it until they have the ability to develop it. ”

……

The cave became open, the stream reappeared and gradually became larger, and a little bright light appeared in front of it, which was the sunlight outside, in this dark cave, a touch of sunlight was so bright and dazzling, giving people hope.

"Come out!" He Li leaned against a flat bluestone on the side, looked at the somewhat dazzling sunlight, stretched his body comfortably, and sighed.

After only two hours in the cave, He Li felt a lot more depressed, and at this time, the warm sunlight was the best choice to wash away this oppressive feeling.

Xingyu carefully washed the blood on his hands with the stream water, the wounds on his hands were completely healed, and after the stream washed away the bloodstains, he revealed slightly immature and fresh skin, and the traces of those wounds could no longer be seen.

Xingyu washed his arms, stood up, and moved slightly.

"Sister, let's go! I told her silently to ask her to ask for leave for us and Captain Beihuan, saying that we would go back at dusk. Now look at the time and it's about the same. Xingyu said.

"Hmm." He Li nodded, reaching out to dry his long hair, which was a little wet from the water droplets.

The two of them followed the stream back to the waterfall and found the signpost set up by the star shower. Finally back to the place where they killed Malu.

Ma Lu's huge corpse was still there, but it was already decomposed, only a thin layer of carapace was attached to the stone thorns left by the Northern Illusion, and the other organs had completely turned into black pus and rolled to the ground, as if they had been dead for an unknown amount of time.

This is the characteristic of half-dead biochemical organisms, which will completely decay within a day if they lose their most basic life-sustaining vitality. This is because they carry deadly bacteria and viruses that, sadly, are just as effective against themselves. On the contrary, those ordinary zombies who are weak and only carry biochemical viruses, after they die, the corpses will not decompose so quickly, even slower than ordinary corpses.

Finding the way, it was much more convenient to follow, and the two of them quickly followed the marks they had made when they came and the traces of the battle left behind back in the grove near the village, as long as they went a little further, it was the village.

"Whoosh!"

Several black shadows struck.

Xingyu reacted quickly, and almost instantly, he condensed an ice shield to block all the hidden weapons that attacked him, and it was a few stone thorns.

"Yike...... Captain Beihuan, we are back, is the welcome ceremony too grand? Xingyu casually dropped the ice shield and looked at Beihuan who jumped down from the tree and appeared in front of the two.

"I guess you need to give me an explanation." Bei Huan's face was gloomy, and he threw the last stone thorn in his hand at the feet of the two.

Ah...... Is this the rhythm to be fried? He Li smiled weirdly and quietly took a step back, ready to see how Xingyu would respond.

―――――――――――――――――――

It means that I am very happy to have my own claw machine just now, and I am very sad that I don't know how to use it...... t^t
