When I heard Liang Sihao say that Chu Ci was looking for him, Xia Lin was making food in the makeshift kitchen.

Perhaps because of the fact that she has been through hardships together, although Charlene still can't put all her trust in these people, at least she is willing to pay more.

For example, take the initiative to take on the obligation to cook and provide materials.

"What did he ask me for?" Charlene looked at Liang Sihao with some confusion.

"I don't know." Liang Sihao is a teenager who looks a little shy, about the same age as Xia Lin, but I don't know if it is affected by his own ability characteristics, he always seems to prefer to stay alone quietly than contact with people, reducing his sense of existence.

is also because of this, although Charlene has not had much contact with each other, she still has a good impression of such a young man like a younger brother.

After thinking about it, Xia Lin handed over the cooking work to Liang Sihao, and then got up and stood up. "Where are the others?"

"Next to the Dark River." Liang Sihao replied while staring at the burning flame in front of him.

Charlene nodded and walked out.

After meeting the unconscious Du Qinglin and the fainting Xia Lin that day, Chu Ci and the three of them directly found a nearby place to camp near the dark river.

Therefore, at this time, they were not far from the place where Charlene was in charge that day.

What are you doing? Seeing Chu Ci standing by the dark river, looking at Yu He, who was still as immobile as a mountain in the middle of the river, in a contemplative state, Xia Lin couldn't help but ask.

"When you went down to the dark river that day to pick lotus, did you notice the situation at the bottom of the riverbed?" Chu Ci turned his head and glanced at Xia Lin. He retracted his gaze, still staring at Hexin and asked.

Charlene blinked, as if she was a little confused about the question.

"Are we going to cross the river?" I thought about it. Charlene still couldn't help but ask.

"Not necessarily." Chu Ci shook his head.

The reason why they rushed over was because they received a message from Du Qinglin that day, telling them that he and Charlene had found the power stone.

Although it is only a third-order energy stone, it is still a very encouraging thing for everyone, and it also verifies everyone's guess - Charlene is afraid that there is really very good luck.

Luck is such a thing. Charlene herself is probably unconvinced. After all, this thing is the same fantasy whether it sounds or uses it.

But if you explain it by an ability, it seems to be ...... Isn't it hard to say?

However, this kind of strange person who has good luck like Fukuzawa Kashimi. There have not been a few in total for thousands of years, and the situation of each one is different, so everyone really can't say.

It's just that after summing it up, Han Lie and the three of them decided to come over to find Xia Lin.

The white rose and the hedgehog continued in the original direction.

Originally, according to Han Lie's meaning. They were going to converge after that. Han Lie, Xia Lin and Lu Weiming's team, Du Qinglin and Liang Sihao's team, are still separate.

It's just that they didn't expect that the situation had changed in just a few days.

Not only was Du Qinglin poisoned and unconscious, Xia Lin had to move forward with such a behemoth, but the two also encountered an underground river.

This is a situation that has never been seen in the history of thousands of years.

After all, the formation of underground rivers. There are many aspects that are needed while the dungeon is on the itinerary. The same goes for it. The two are combined into one, but they do not affect each other......

But it's hard.

As for what is on the other side of the underground river, it is even more unknown. Chu Ci hesitated for a while before he sent Bai Qiang and the two to communicate, asking him to come over as well.

"Did you come to the dungeon just to find the power stones?" Charlene asked suddenly.

Chu Ci raised his eyes and glanced at Xia Lin lightly.

"Isn't it?" Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Charlene frowned slightly.

"Yes and no." Chu Ci turned around, no longer staring at Yu He in the heart of the river, but motioned for Charlene to follow him.

"What do you mean?" Charlene was a little confused.

"Did you know how many dungeons have appeared in the thousand-year history of the Federation?" Chu Ci did not answer Charlene's question, but asked rhetorically.

Charlene blinked, "I don't know." ”

Before that, she didn't even know about the magical place like the dungeon, and at most she knew that the futuristic people here seemed to have a paranoid fanaticism for digging up antiques.

Although, that's because there are huge interests in it.

"It has been 2,652 years since the official establishment of the Federation, but there are only eight dungeons with accurate historical records."

"Eight?" Charlene was a little surprised. She remembered who she had heard say that day, it seemed to be from five places?

"Well," the corner of Chu Ci's eyes glanced at Xia Lin faintly, "There are five of them that are in the current Federal Military Department, and soldiers with rights above the fifth level can refer to and learn from them, while the other three are only qualified to be known and read by soldiers with seventh, ninth, and eleventh level privileges." ”

"Oh." Charlene nodded, indicating that she understood.

"Don't you wonder why the permissions of those three places are so high?" Seeing that Charlene didn't mean to ask at all, Chu Ci raised his eyebrows slightly.

Xia Lin blinked, secretly tilted her head and glanced at Chu Ci, seeing that the other party was staring directly at her, she couldn't help but be a little sneering, "That...... I don't have much curiosity. ”

Chu Ci chuckled, not knowing whether he believed it or not.

"Those three places, the reason why the authority is high is because of the ......"

"What, I suddenly thought that dinner wasn't ready yet......" Charlene interrupted Chu Ci's words a little impatiently.

Chu Ci lowered his head and looked at Xia Lin with a smile.

"Huh...... Hehe......" Charlene scoffed.

God, don't you force others to listen to secrets like this?

She really doesn't want to be swept up in any trouble by the week in front of her again?

Even if there were dinosaurs in those three places, she didn't want to know about them at all?!

"Those three places. The military department not only found well-preserved relics of prehistoric human civilization, among which the highest authority was also found traces of human existence. ”

Charlene who didn't have time to plug her ears and pretend not to hear: Σ(°△°|||) ︴

"You say...... What the? ”

"As you heard." Chu Ci looked at Xia Lin with a smile.

"That...... Isn't it the same thing as the relics of civilization and the traces of survival...... Scold...... Hehe......" Charlene scoffed.

"Nope." Chu Ci shook his head. "You're sharp."

Charlene:......

Actually, she didn't want to at all, really!

"According to experts, the humans there should have survived underground for thousands of years after the dungeon sank into the ground, and it was only for some unknown reason that they finally went to the extinction of the race......

Charlene:......

"That'...... So what...... What are you telling me about this? Charlene's eyes were a little flustered and looked around, but she was inexplicably a little weak. Don't dare to look at Chu Ci.

"Nothing." Chu Ci shook his head, "I'm just thinking, on the other side of this dark river." Will there be human beings too? ”

"Impossible!" Charlene subconsciously said no.

Chu Ci looked at Charlene thoughtfully. "Why?"

"Huh...... Ha...... Ah, that...... I guess...... How is it possible for humans to live for more than 2,000 years in a place where there is no light at all? Otherwise, why would they not want to go back to the surface? ”

"If not unwillingly, but can't?" Chu Ci asked rhetorically.

"Can't?" Charlene blinked.

"Before the creation of the Confederation. Earth has gone through a long dark age. At that time, zombies were rampant on the surface, and the threat to humans from alien beasts, alien plants, and zombies was enough to make humans feel endless despair, but it was not as safe as underground. And after hundreds or even thousands of years, when the place is closed and calm, and human beings finally have a foothold, these people who have lived underground for dozens or even hundreds of generations have also adapted and accustomed to the environment where the earth is completely blind. It simply cannot withstand long-term radiation ...... the surface"

"Uh......" Charlene was a little unsure of how to answer. That one...... It's all your guess......"

"Nope." Chu Ci shook his head, "It's just speculation. ”

Charlene looked at Chu Ci with a somewhat frightened expression.

"When the Federation entered that dungeon. The last underground human to die there seems to have been dead less than a hundred years ago, so the experts of the Federation have analyzed the genes and bones of this person based on this skeleton......"

Charlene shivered silently.

Big brother, please don't talk about it!

These things really have nothing to do with her, a small citizen in the market, really!

Don't think that if you threaten like this, this girl will expose herself and tell you that this girl is your ancestor! Dream!

"The discovery of every dungeon not only means a heavy fortune for the Federation, but more importantly, it means the tracing and restoration of the historical truth of the Great Nirvana era, and at the same time, it can better search for the transformation and ...... of human ability genes."

Charlene rolled her eyes, tracing and restoring something......

Sick in the brain, right?!

Aren't you afraid to restore a zombie and directly start the second apocalypse, bastard!

Even if you people are not afraid of death, please consider the interests of her as a small citizen, okay, bastard!

As if guessing what Charlene was struggling with, Chu Ci couldn't help but chuckle, "Don't worry, those experts may be a little slow in their research, but at least they are very desperate, and there will be no zombie virus." ”

"Not necessarily." Charlene muttered quietly, "Not all madmen know to be afraid of death!" ”

In Charlene's view, the madness of those so-called scientific research freaks is much worse than that of non-mad people.

Chu Ci didn't argue with Xia Lin, but raised his hand and pointed to a dark river in front of the two of them. "Look here, can you see the difference from the rest of the place?"

Charlene glanced at her with little interest, "What's the difference?" Not the same as the river? It's just a few more stones...... Hey? (To be continued......) R1292
