Xu Rui stood up and walked towards the ruins blankly, and the momentary touch made him suddenly think of another world, a world buried deep in his heart, the place where he was born and raised.

The ruthlessness of time lies in the fact that it will drown everything, no matter how brilliant and brilliant it was at the beginning, it will be turned into dust by a long time.

At the end of the stone bridge is indeed a ruin, where it still retains its "living" state.

Huge metal fortifications are lined up everywhere, some even more than a dozen meters high, and all kinds of advanced laser weapons and various detection equipment are erected on them.

Neither biochemical nor mechanical weapons can escape the detection and fire of these fortifications.

It's just that all of this has been turned into ruins by time, and I don't know how long it has been baptized, the metal has oxidized, corroded, broken, and turned into ashes, making this place look dilapidated, old, and exude the smell of decay.

"What is this place?"

To stand beside Xu Rui in a daze, as if he was asking him, and as if he was simply emotional.

Xu Rui muttered, "If you are not mistaken, this should be a military base." ”

"A military base?"

When he came back to his senses, he asked in astonishment, "Is it the same as the camp set up by your Apocalypse Guard?" ”

Xu Rui was stunned for a moment, smiled and nodded: "Although you may not believe it when you say it, it is indeed the same ......"

The role here is the same as that of the ring of the apocalypse dug up by the sapper shovels, but the scale and complexity of it are very different, as if the paramecium, a single-celled organism, is a living thing like a human, but the difference is not half a star.

Xu Rui walked among the many fortifications, and every time he stepped down, he could kick up a puff of dust, as if he was walking under the seabed, another world sealed in the dust.

He carefully observed the location, function, and configuration of these fortifications, and mentally calculated the size and orientation of the base

Xu Rui was surprised to find that the scale and firepower configuration of this base even surpassed the defenses established by humans on the most dangerous colonized planets, and could even support a battle-level firefight on its own.

Agile light units serve as front rows, fixed heavy fire support in the middle, and fortifications as strong fortresses at the end, except that the terrain does not allow for the presence of a large air force.

Moreover, all the forces of the base are arranged in a circle, and the triad of fire protection encloses a certain area of focus in the middle, which should be the source of the threat.

Thinking back to the gate made of ultra-high-density alloy, Xu Rui couldn't imagine what kind of threat the former owner of this place wanted to guard against with such heavy troops.

What's more, even with such a tight defense, this base still hasn't escaped the fate of being breached!

Looking at the various wrecks scattered on the ground, as well as the devastated ruins, Xu Rui could imagine that this place had repeatedly experienced terrible baptisms of war.

Especially in the very center of the base, there was even a huge scar more than ten meters wide that stretched all the way to the end of the base, as if some kind of giant creature had smashed a canyon on the ground, and all the metal, weapons, and creatures in it had turned into powder.

Judging by the surrounding traces, the battle that would have destroyed this base should have broken out in ancient times, as the oldest pieces of metal had rusted into pieces of iron.

But in addition to the fragments of iron, Xu Rui also found relatively well-preserved wreckage, which is easy to tell from different ages just by looking at it with the naked eye.

In other words, the war has not ended after the destruction of this base, and the two sides have been going back and forth in this place for dozens, even hundreds of years, and maybe longer.

Xu Rui's heart was shocked, he really couldn't imagine how two civilizations could fight for so long in such a place and in such a way.

However, the people who made the idea here obviously did not stop for a moment, because as he went deeper into the base, Xu Rui found blood and corpses!

Not far from the central rift, there were three people on the ground, and their bodies had just begun to decompose, indicating that they had just died, judging from their clothing, these three people were incompatible with the advanced civilization here, and they should belong to the world on the ground.

Xu Rui immediately called Xiao Hu to identify him, but Xiao Hu shook his head, claiming that he didn't know these three people, which means that these three people were not the elite of the Ghost Valley Sect.

Xu Rui was a little disappointed in his heart, but after carefully examining the bodies of the three people, he came to a new conclusion.

Although the three corpses were all dismantled and incomplete, their bones all had a metallic luster, and their strength was much higher than that of ordinary human bones.

Xu Rui immediately realized that these three people were not ordinary people, but three genetically mutated cyborgs, and as far as Xu Rui knew, there was only a group of people in this world who had genetic mutations, that is, the "caretakers" who held the secrets of those ruins under the Hanhai Gobi!

The watchmen are indeed related to the ruins on the grassland, but I don't know what they have to do with the war here, and what role they will play in this story?

was thinking about it, and suddenly came to Xu Rui's side.

Xu Rui looked up at him in surprise, only to see that he had to leave with a solemn face: "You'd better come and take a look at the situation here." ”

Xu Rui was stunned for a moment, quickly got up and followed the two turns, and suddenly an open field appeared in front of him, surrounded by corpses, and the death was exactly the same as the three people he had just discovered.

There were at least one or two dozen corpses here, each covered in bloody scratches, as if they had been swept up by some kind of wild beast and mutilated to death.

Strangely, their corpses, though mutilated, were not lost, and it was clear that the enemy did not use them as food to gnaw on, and there were no enemy corpses or clues about the enemy around except for the traces of battle left on the corpses and the ground.

Looking at the appearance of this base, the main war should have ended long ago, but the enemies who fought against them have not disappeared, and perhaps the caretakers are not only guarding this world, but also these enemies underground.

"Senior brother!"

Xu Rui had such a thought in his heart, and before he had time to think about it carefully, he suddenly heard Xiao Hu's exclamation.

"Are those things still there?"

Xu Rui's heart trembled, and he hurriedly rushed towards the place where he exclaimed, and his face suddenly changed.

It turned out that Xiao Hu had already walked out of the base, to be exact, he had come to the center of the entire base's defense, which was an open field full of all kinds of wreckage and ravaged by various weapons.

In addition to the ancient wreckage, there are at least hundreds of corpses scattered in this place, some of them cyborgs who have clearly undergone genetic mutations, and some of them are indistinguishable from ordinary people.

Xiao Hu hugged a bodyless head and cried bitterly, obviously these ordinary people were the elite of the Ghost Valley who came in first.

"It seems that the elites of the Ghost Valley Gate have all died here in the end, and it is certain that the threat here has not been completely eliminated, and the terrible enemies that the base dealt with at the beginning still exist!"

After counting the corpses on the ground, Xu Rui secretly said in his heart, and suddenly mentioned twelve points of caution.

"You're finally here......"

At this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded in the ruins.

Xiao Hu was shocked when he heard this voice, and exclaimed, "Master! Are you still alive?! ”

As soon as the words fell, a rickety figure suddenly stood up in the corner of the ruins in the distance, looking at the three of them.

Xu Rui and Yaoli frowned when they saw this scene, and glanced at each other, they didn't expect that the famous Guiguzi could survive in this environment, and they couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"Be careful, this guy feels a little wrong to me, he shouldn't be an ordinary person."

I want to leave looking at Guiguzi and remind Xu Rui in a whisper.

Xu Rui nodded, the expression on his face was very solemn.
