Chapter 254: Strange Ruins
Site Nine.
At the edge of the Santos branch, as long as you pass through the ninth ruin, you will return to the main vein, the Herloch Mountains.
This section of the mountain range is gentle, and at the foot of the mountain is a large plain, and at the foot of the mountain is there two safe areas, separated by no more than 100 kilometers.
Is it because of this that there are ruins?
Tang Ling looked at the No. 9 ruins in front of him, and although he was mentally prepared, his heart was still full of shock and all kinds of complicated emotions.
Ruins, what is it?
As the name suggests, it is the traces left by previous civilizations.
The ones that can be called ruins in the Purple Moon Era are the kind of pre-civilization towns that are relatively well-preserved.
And there are often only two situations that can be completely preserved under the erosion of time.
First, due to geological movements, it was a coincidence that the entire site was buried underground.
Second, there is a 10,000-energy stone at the site, and under the continuous release of the energy of the 10,000-energy stone, everything is as before.
Of course, the Ten Thousand Energy Stone is magical, and the ruins with such a Ten Thousand Energy Stone are basically occupied by the great forces.
For example, there are ten famous ruins in this world, and six of them have been divided by large forces.
The remaining four are dangerous places in this world.
Because three of them became the city of corpses, and the other became a nest of kun rats.
It's not that people don't want to take them back, but even the big ones don't dare to act rashly.
It is said that the legends of the three corpse cities have evolved a real eighth-level corpse emperor, and it is even suspected that there is a ninth-level corpse emperor.
As for the city of Kun Rat, no force has ever attacked its idea.
Think about it, under the command of the insect king, the mutant insects are overwhelming, or the mutant rats are overwhelming under the leadership of the sixth-level fierce beast - the rat king.
Therefore, the large forces of mankind can only fortify the periphery of these four sites, barely maintaining the illusion of peace and fragile balance.
But eventually, they will become a disease of the human heart, and as they grow in size, the demand for resources will rise.
World War I was absolutely inevitable.
Thinking about these materials about the ruins in his mind, he still couldn't offset the shock that Tang Ling felt when he saw the No. 9 ruins.
The No. 9 site is naturally also a remnant of a pre-civilization.
It's not big, it's just a small town, and it's a small town that can be seen at a glance.
But the key thing is that it is so well preserved, whether it is the buildings in the town or the objects in the town, they seem to have been frozen in time at a certain moment.
What does this mean? It shows that there are definitely ten thousand energy stones in the town.
But within Tang Ling's eyesight, he didn't see the Ten Thousand Energy Stone.
If the No. 9 ruins, just like that, actually couldn't make Tang Ling so shocked.
He believes that there is definitely a panacea in the town, but it should be in an unknown place.
And the strange energy of the universal energy stone can have the effect of preserving items, just like the place where the hope barrier is close to the universal energy stone, and the buildings of those former civilizations have almost not been eroded by time.
If it weren't for the fact that it was a battlefield, destroyed like ruins by the battle, a corner of the city could have been preserved intact.
What really shocked Tang Ling was the No. 9 site - there were people!
That's right, there's someone inside.
Judging by the way they dressed, they were definitely not people from the Purple Moon Era, but people from the pre-civilization.
These people had calm expressions, as if they didn't know that the outside world had undergone drastic changes, and they walked back and forth, naturally doing their own things, and they didn't look like corpses at all.
"It's weird, isn't it?" Luo Xin stood by Tang Ling's side.
Tang Ling nodded, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand, he even began to wonder if the Nine Ruins really existed? Or is it just an illusion created by a holographic 3D projection, like the Hope Barrier?
This inevitably makes people's feelings extremely complicated, because - pre-civilization! No one could have thought of it, right? In this era, there is also a corner such as the No. 9 site, which is repeating the life of the pre-civilization.
The old lady sitting in front of the house basking in the sun, the young man whistling on the street on his bicycle, from the store, it should be the store, right? A woman who had just walked out with two large bags was waiting impatiently in front of the car by a man on the side.....
Everything is so vivid.
But after a long time, you will find that the people of these towns are doing repetitive things, just like the young man who rides a bicycle will come back to a certain section of the street from time to time, riding repeatedly, even whistling in the same way.
The woman who came out of the shop, when she got into the car, when it was gone, she would come out of the shop again, and the car would still be parked there again, with an impatient man beside her.
It's all repeating!
"We're going in now." Luo Xin reminded Tang Ling.
Tang Ling felt his body a little stiff, he really didn't know that the No. 9 site was so weird, so he didn't talk too much about it with Luo Xin and Luo Li along the way.
All I know is that this is a dangerous and strange site.
In fact, when he approached it and discovered this fact, Tang Ling wanted to ask, but he never knew where to start.
But time is running out.
Because the Nine Ruins are located on a high hillside, you can see from afar that the people of the Council of the Stars are also rushing here.
If you don't hurry up and enter the ruins, the consequences can be imagined.
In fact, it's been exposed! Tang Ling didn't think that the troops of the Star Council didn't even have a telescope.
But Luo Xin said that as long as you can get to the Nine Ruins first, and enter the Nine Ruins first, it doesn't matter if you are exposed.
Even if it's just to enter the edge of Site Nine.
Is it that amazing? But Tang Ling trusted Luo Xin, and it was out of this trust that they chose to expose themselves at the last time, and rushed directly up this hillside and came to the side of the No. 9 ruins.
When he saw the No. 9 ruins, Tang Ling knew that things might really be so magical.
Otherwise, this piece of ruins would have been exposed here in such a big way, why hasn't anyone or any force occupied it for so many years?
"Let's go in. You and Luo Li must follow me step by step, and there must be no mistakes in the place where we land. Losing said quickly.
"Okay." Tang Ling didn't talk nonsense.
He noticed that the people of the Council of the Stars had significantly increased the speed of their march, and it was clear that the three of them had been completely exposed.
Luo Xin took Tang Ling and Luo Li to the southeast corner of the town quickly.
There is an unremarkable alley here, and from the geographical point of view, walking through this alley leads to one of the streets of the town, and thus into the town.
Could it be that it can only be accessed from this alley? Tang Ling speculated wildly, but this is not a secret?
But Losing did not explain, and she took the first step cautiously, stepping on the third piece of patterned bricks laid by the alley with her left foot, and the second piece of the third diagonal turn with her right foot.
"Do you remember where these two bricks are? There can be no mistakes in the foothold. With that, Losin took the second step.
Luo Xin followed her closely and stepped on the same bricks, and he really didn't even dare to make any mistakes with the successive fall of his left and right feet.
Tang Ling's heart was filled with a strange feeling, but he received a warning look from Luo Xin: "You'd better not try indiscriminately, the consequences will be very serious, and it's not something you can resist." ”
Tang Ling pouted, I'm so ignorant? Then he foolishly followed Luo Li's footsteps.
In fact, Luo Xin's warning was very timely, Tang Ling really wanted to give it a try, what would happen if he didn't follow this way?
Can there still be natural and man-made disasters? His curiosity has become extraordinarily strong because of the world and his own experience.
Luo Xin only warned Tang Ling, but did not give any explanation, she kept walking forward, but every step was extremely cautious.
She seemed a little tired.
As she walked through the middle of the alley, she occasionally paused to think before taking a cautious step, but in this short time, the troops of the Council of the Stars had reached the top of the hillside.
A full five hundred, five hundred heavily armed, all gathered here at the Nine Ruins.
At this distance, it can be clearly seen that at the front of the team, there is a young man riding a first-class fierce beast, the Omesha Flame Red-Eyed Lion.
His figure is very burly, and it is impossible to see his face clearly from this distance, but you can feel his powerful momentum.
Who's that? Tang Ling didn't know.
In the days when they were on the run, they were eating and sleeping in the open, and they were pressed all the way, and there was no source of information.
Of course, I don't know, in addition to the complete occupation of the Rock's Wanderer Camp, a lot of news has also been forced to ask.
Including Tang Ling's visit to Luo's camp, the details of which were transmitted back to the headquarters of the Star Council, and naturally someone analyzed that it was Tang Ling.
Therefore, Long Qi personally went out.
Whether it is to arrest Tang Ling, to hunt and kill Luo Li on the tinder list, or to capture the Luo clan who was taken away... Everything was a priority, and he had to come in person.
There was a cruel pleasure in his heart, and he couldn't wait to tell the Luo siblings that their father, Luo Yan, had now become a complete idiot.
In order to force the news, the Star Council used some drugs, which is not a sophisticated thing, the secret intelligence organizations of the former civilization have always done this, and the Star Council has only inherited their methods.
Torture? Inexistent! A little medicine can make the strongest of people collapse, and then tell a lot of secrets in a scattered manner.
It stands to reason that Luo Yan should have been executed immediately.
But Long Qi has his own bad taste, he wants to execute their father in front of the Luo brothers and sisters, he likes to make a person miserable, desperate, and even self-destructive from the soul.
Therefore, he is the most suitable person to do intelligence among the sixteen youths, and everyone takes it for granted that when he grows up, he will naturally take over the Shadow Force.
"Report to the Seven, they are now entering the Nine site, from a corner in the southeast corner." At this time, a scout came to report the latest news.
"Shall we chase it in immediately?" Beside Long Qi, an adjutant asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry, surround the entire Nine Ruins for me first." There was a cruel smile on the corner of Long Qi's mouth, and he continued, "Don't enter the town easily. Actually, I'm not in a hurry at all, not at all. ”
Long Qi is a person who will never easily say anything in his heart, such a person is not only not stupid, but also extremely smart.
Of course he understands the strangeness of this No. 9 site, if there really isn't any problem, why hasn't anyone touched it here for so many years?
Luo's knows the secrets of the Nine Ruins, and he must have something to rely on when he comes here.
How could he be easily fooled by Long Qi?
What's the best thing to do? It's just to surround but not fight!
Psychologically oppress those three guys and cut them off from resources.
A small ruin, can they stay in it until they are old?
Of course, Long Qi also has his own prepared mini-games, some cruel little stories, such as about the process of interrogating Luo Yan, and how to torture a few dragon soldiers after catching them.
He doesn't mind holding up a loudspeaker every day and telling stories to the three of them, which is very interesting to think about.
Thinking of this, Long Qi stretched out his scarlet tongue and licked the corners of his mouth.
His eyes are slender, and his eyes are a little different from ordinary people, not round, but oval, like the eyes of a snake.
With such eyes and this expression, the adjutant beside him couldn't help but get goosebumps, the most cruel and tyrannical tyrant among the sixteen young men.
Being his adjutant really has a huge psychological pressure.
"We've got to go faster." Tang Ling watched the enemy move forward step by step, and when he came to the mountainside, the entire team was scattered, and he couldn't help but urge Luo Xin.
As smart as Tang Ling, from this small detail, he could already deduce the intention of the Star Council, they wanted to surround this No. 9 ruins.
After the encirclement, it occupies too much of the initiative strategically.
The No. 9 site itself is not large, and you can easily see through the whole town from any angle, although you can't see every corner, but it also means that most of the places will be watched by them....
The point is, what if they surround and don't fight?
Tang Ling frowned, and involuntarily began to think about countermeasures, while Luo Xin's expression did not change in the face of Tang Ling's urging.
She had stopped in one place for almost a minute, sweat covering her forehead.
"What are you worried about?" Luo Xin could also see the people of the Star Council, she didn't seem to be worried, but asked Tang Ling instead.
"I'm worried that they're going to surround us and keep going to be." Tang Ling put his hands in his pockets, and he didn't know why he saw Luo Xin's expression, and he wasn't too worried in his heart.
Sure enough, Luo Xin replied in the next sentence: "Surround us at the Nine Ruins? It's definitely a joke, impossible! You don't yet understand the true magic of Site Nine. ”
"But only if we can actually crack the entire Nine site."
