Section 215 Doubts
The next goal of the expedition was the archives of the Black Gold Ruins. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but after arriving here, people found that the information here has been artificially destroyed. Not only that, but the nearby libraries have also suffered devastating damage, and all the materials of the former civilization have disappeared.
Holding half of the burned piece of paper, Team Leader Kendik frowned.
"That's not right."
"How?" Chen Yan asked.
"These traces do not match the age of the ruins." Kendik picked up the piece of paper and showed it to Chen Yan. "The black gold ruins are relics of the last era, and they are at least a hundred years old, and this piece of paper has only been burned for a few years."
"In other words, in the recent past, there are still people operating in the ruins?" Chen Yan asked.
"Maybe it's someone else, maybe it's that guy." Kendic replied, and the terrifying figure in their minds at the same time, the burning chains, the terrible Machan.
"Why did he destroy these documents?" Chen Yan asked.
"I don't know, maybe there's something he doesn't want the world to know." Kendik replied, but his eyes lit up a little. "It's a pity that he intrigued me more."
"I'd suggest you end this expedition as soon as possible." Chen Yan looked at the butler. "Because we're afraid we're going to be in trouble, the weather forecast is that a sandstorm will pass nearby in the next few days, and the ruins should be affected."
"A sandstorm is nothing. I'm not going to stop my adventure. Kendik replied categorically. I think that guy is more dangerous than the sandstorm, and I've asked HQ for backup. ”
"Oh?" Chen Yan raised his eyebrows. "Headquarters agreed?"
"There is no answer yet. But I don't think it's a problem, it just takes time. Kendik said. Look deep into the ruins. "I think this ruin is more important than we expected, so we can't just give it up anyway."
There is no doubt that Kendik is a determined leader, so even if the expedition has developed such and such emotions, the exploration must continue. With the in-depth excavation of the ruins, the appearance of the entire black gold ruins is also revealed to everyone little by little. Huge residential areas, powerful factories, complex and effective three-dimensional transportation network. They are all explaining to everyone that it is different from today's civilization. Or maybe it's not technologically advanced, but its size and overall urban planning are a marvel that makes the expedition members feel refreshed.
"Least ...... Tens of millions of people live here...... Oh my God......," one of the expedition members exclaimed. In today's wind turbidity region, there is no such scale of gathering points anymore. The technology of the ruined biosphere, while ensuring their survival in the desertified realm, also severely limits its scale.
The main thing is that they don't have access to so much water and energy.
Compared to the magnificent relics of pre-civilizations, pre-civilizations seem to be creators, but they seem to be parasites.
"That's right! Energy system! Water system! Kendik said suddenly. We need those. ”
Everyone suddenly came to their senses. If there's anything that the Black Gold Ruins are most valuable, then there's no doubt that its energy system is second to none. An energy center that can support the operation of such a huge city is undoubtedly a major discovery for the ruined ecosystem of the Wind Turbidity Domain today. It may even lead to the expansion of human civilization once again.
"Hey, who said you found the coordinates of the power system just now? Take us to ......," Kendik said loudly in the buggy. The expedition team has large scanning equipment and has already carried out a preliminary scan of the black gold ruins. The key points are specially marked on the map.
While this scan is imprecise, it provides the easiest way for the team to point.
"There!" An expedition member pulls out a light curtain and sends the coordinates to everyone's brain. "Fifteen kilometers from us!"
"Damn, that's a straight line, and the streets here are like a maze!"
"Speed up! We're going back to camp. ”
Amid the roar, the convoy ran wildly through the streets. Smoke and dust filled behind them, like a rolling dragon.
What no one knew was that at the top of a building behind them, a figure was slowly standing up straight.
Flames, flowing in his chains. The corners of his mouth opened slightly, and he laughed silently.
……………………
The energy system of the Black Gold Ruins is not difficult to find, in fact, because it is extremely similar to the real world, Chen Yan can find it even without the hint of the light curtain map. Those ancient telephone poles are like beacons pointing to the location of the energy system.
It's just that no one expected that when they arrived at the coordinate point full of hope, what they saw was still a ruin. Like the previous facilities such as the library, it has been severely damaged. The dilapidated factories, the collapsed buildings, and the machines and parts that were violently destroyed all illustrate what has happened here. And the blackened scorched scar that cut almost the entire factory shows who did these things.
"This kind of thing is no longer suitable for today's realm." The expedition team members explored the ruins of the power plant, picked up a scrap iron plate and looked at it. "It's very energy-efficient and polluting."
"On top of that, we don't have that much fuel right now."
"So the facilities here don't mean much to us."
Everyone was talking about it and doing all kinds of tests. Old Kendik remained silent, strolling around the huge building of the power plant on crutches. Look at the huge cooling towers lined up in rows. He beckoned to Chen Yan.
"What's the matter?" Chen Yan stepped forward and asked.
"I'm wondering why this place was destroyed too." Kendik said, his face a little serious. "I think you can see that the facilities here don't make sense to us, but why was even such facilities destroyed by that guy? What the hell is he trying to hide? ”
"I guess I should ask your teammates. They're the professionals. Chen Yan shrugged his shoulders and said.
"I trust the professionalism of my men, but I don't trust their instincts." Kendik replied. He turned his head and glanced at Chen Yan. "And it's said that you witchers are a bunch of guys with excellent instincts."
"Hey, old man, I won't admit to talking nonsense." Chen Yan touched his nose, but then he looked pensive.
That's right, the question raised by the old man Kendik is too important. It can be said that from the very beginning of this expedition, it was entangled with that terrible demon. The chase on the highway, the destruction of important facilities in the ruins, this is not accidental, but inevitable.
He's guarding something, or hiding something.
So what is it exactly?
Chen Yan thought silently, his eyes falling on the ground under his feet...... (To be continued.) )
