Chapter Thirty-Eight: Beyond the Ruins
Walking down the stairs and corridors that few people walked, Luna came to the gate where there was no electricity that could not be flowed, and it seemed that the miner was right, all the high-tech gadgets here were ineffective, except for the VR limiters, which Victoria had given them, of course.
Luna turned the sword in her hand, wondering why her right eye could still be used. Didn't Victoria give it that? Also, why does the white fox knife in Alice's hand work freely? Luna was a little puzzled, and several questions kept colliding in her skull, but finally she didn't resist the temptation of curiosity, "Why do the electronic devices on our bodies fail, but these products from the Victorian ruins on mine don't?" ”
"You've been to Victoria's ruins?" The miner looked at Luna in surprise, she nodded, he thought for a while, and then said, "Then it's easy to say, I've been to many ruins, and this happens in every ruin, so I did professional research, and then I found that there will be a lot of thin electromagnetic waves around the periphery of each ruin, which is what we call EMP, which is actually just the electromagnetic field inside the ruins, which is to prevent the high technology of future generations." ”
"Why are they so sure that electromagnetic waves can shield high-tech?"
"You have to know that in the next 50 years, our human high-tech products will never be separated from transistors, even in small devices, they will only shrink transistors to nanometers and other units." "So the only reason why your equipment hasn't failed is that your equipment has an anti-electromagnetic effect, which means that it's made of materials that resist electromagnetic interference. ”
"You know a lot about being a miner." I complimented.
"That's ......," he spread his hands and smiled, "People are floating in the rivers and lakes, and their skills are not overwhelming." ”
The embarrassing atmosphere of being killed and killed just now suddenly became free and easy, and the miners also relaxed their vigilance against the two, and of course they also relaxed their vigilance against the miners.
"Can you open this then?"
"Absolutely." As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a hammer and a chisel from his backpack, struck the latches on the top and bottom of the door, and then struck the center of the door with a shovel, and the door broke along the center of the crack.
"Yo, good technique." Luna complimented.
"That's it." He said, putting away the items in his hand, "You know, although I am a miner, I am also a skilled miner, which is why they hired me to open the gates of the ruins. ”
"You've been to a lot of ruins?"
"No, no." "Plus today's one, it's only three," he said. ”
"Then you know the treasures in the ruins?"
"I know, but ......" he lowered his head, and after a moment of silence, he continued, "I can't tell you ......"
"Why?"
"Because...... You still have a lot of unknowns to explore on your own, Savior......" As soon as he finished speaking, a mist of blood rose up along his side, and just as they were coughing from the mist, their bodies suddenly felt like they were being slapped out by a wall.
The two of them fell to the ground, and when the blood mist cleared, I was surprised to find that the door was back to its original state, and Luna stood up and pushed it with her hand, and slammed it with her sword, all of which would have done nothing.
What the hell is going on?
Just then, Alice yelled at me, "Luna! ”
Luna looked back at her, she didn't reply to me with a surprised expression, her expression was panicked, and the writhing of her facial muscles reached her throat, "Get out, it's going to collapse here!" She didn't give Luna time to hesitate, she grabbed Luna's hand and ran towards the castle gates, the ground began to crumble, the outer walls of the castle behind her began to crumble, and the guards who were still inside the castle jumped from the upper floors of the castle without caring for life or death, even if it would have broken into meat sauce. Death stretched outward with the sound of collapse.
"What the hell is going on?"
"I guess the treasure of the ruins has been stolen." Alice gasped, "So the ruins' self-destruct system kicks in." ”
"We didn't touch anything." Luna replied, "Except for the wall. ”
"Then how do you know that someone else hasn't moved?" Alice said, "Alright, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and get on the bridge!" With that, the two ran onto the ropeway bridge.
As she ran to the top of the bridge, Luna realized that something was wrong, as the shockwave caused the bridge to shake violently, and we accelerated forward in balance as we clung to the rope.
The bridge was about twenty yards long, and they had to be fast, when my foot suddenly cracked a plank, but Alice grabbed Luna's hand, otherwise she would have broken to pieces.
The concussion caused the cables on the bridge to loosen, and if they didn't hurry, they would have to fall into the abyss along with the broken bridge.
"Hell!" Luna shouted, and sped forward in a hurry, something like this had happened three times in a row! The ropeway bridge collapsed when the two of them were less than four yards from the bridge, and Luna and Alice leaped to avoid the disaster.
Finally escaped, unlike the last time in the Victorian ruins, the ruins here collapsed in reality, and Victoria collapsed in the void. She looked back, and the castle opposite was completely in ruins.
It's night now, and it seems that it's the same as last time, the two of them fell for the illusion brought by the ruins, who stole the treasures of the ruins?
The cold night turned their breath white, and they looked down a hill as they went up the hill, where Luna saw a group of heavily armored soldiers with the Grim Reaper's Scythe on their cloaks gathering the villagers of the village below to investigate, and soon Luna spotted the bald captain.
It seems that after she escaped from the gallows, the bald captain came to investigate her whereabouts, and the bald captain spat on the ground and went into the room next to her.
"Alice, come here." With that, Alice walked over to Luna and crouched down beside her. Luna opens the "Gryffin" bracelet on her wrist, and soon, Luna is wrapped in the gravitational membrane, but only halfway, so that when they fall to a point, the gravitational membrane will fully unfold so that they can land safely.
To prevent the effects of environmental elements on the gravitational membrane, Luna measured the force of the wind. Well, no one was paying attention to them down there, so Luna made up her mind and jumped down the cliff.
If you're in the mood for it, the experience is a pleasant one: they fall a little faster at first, but when they reach the ground, they start to slow down, and when they reach the ground, Luna quickly turns off the gravity sensor and walks into the village.
As they expected, the guards were busy intimidating the villagers, and anyone who dared to hesitate to ask them would be given a beating. Luna and Alice turn on the invisibility system, take on the form of someone else, and blend into the crowd, listening carefully.
The mob pushed an elderly villager to the ground, and the old man pleaded for mercy in mourning, "Please! Help me! He pleaded with the people around him, but no one dared to lend a hand.
In another place, a young villager was being beaten by two thugs, and although he was also pleading, it was still useless. Another man yelled, "I'm innocent," but in exchange for a beating of sticks.
"Where is she hiding?" The thugs cursed as they moved.
What makes it even more atmospheric is that men are not the only ones who have been poisoned. Not far away, a woman was pressed to the ground and violently assaulted, and the poor woman curled up in pain, begging to be spared: "I don't know anything!" Please spare me! ”
"Say it! lest you sin! The thugs replied with a hideous grin, and they took the woman's child and put the blade on the child's neck, "Otherwise, I will cut his throat......
Despite the fact that this is happening right now, Luna must resist the urge to draw her sword and help her, and she must reconfirm the captain's position. With the help of her right eye, she began to scan the portrait, and soon she found her prey in the carriage at the entrance of the village: the captain seemed to be in such a hurry to leave that he even dropped the coachman out of the carriage.
"Get out of my way!" The captain roared, "You idiots! He snatched the reins and yelled at his men, "If you can't get the head of the black wolf, don't give me back!" Do you understand? He must be found! With that, he slung a backpack over his shoulder.
Could it be that this guy took the treasure from the ruins? Can't let him get his way!
Luna and Alice took a step forward, and after unlocking the cloaking system, all eyes were on them.
The guards stared nervously at the two, and one of them boldly shouted, "Captain! They've been delivered to your door! ”
Without hesitation, the captain drew his whip and pointed it at the horse's belly, "Drive!" Drive! Seeing that the captain was about to run, Luna hurriedly rushed over at full speed, and some of the guards tried to block her way, but they were all fixed by the throwing knives in Alice's hands behind her.
Luna leaps forward, then grabs a rope behind the carriage, which pauses before dragging her forward.
Rubbing her abdomen against the ground, Luna began to climb up the rope step by step, behind her was the sound of horses' hooves, and a pair of guards were galloping towards Luna, they tried to chop Luna into meat sauce, and just as they were close to me about to cut her down, an arrow hit him in the head, and Luna spotted Alice.
Alice helps Luna open the "Gryffind" bracelet through the limiter's networking, which is good so that she doesn't have to endure the pain of abdominal friction, which helps Luna move forward.
With the help of the Gryfin bracelet, every inch of Luna's crawling surface becomes difficult against the rough terrain.
Just two inches short of Luna being able to catch the lower edge of the carriage, the two knights rushed behind Luna and slashed at her, Luna quickly dodged sideways, and then screamed Alice, two arrows hit the horse's front hooves, and then directly threw the knight off the horse, and the carriage behind him rolled over, trampling the two poor fallen knights into a pile of mud.
Luna continued to pull the rope closer, knowing full well that she would have to fight to the death before the anti-gravity membrane failed. Luna took a deep breath and tightened the rope in her hand, then contracted her muscles and struggled to board the carriage, relieved that Luna's body had undergone a transformation and that she had quickly regained her fatigue, and drew her sword and headed for the captain at the front of the car.
At this moment the second carriage had already reached the carriage where she was, and the cunning captain hurriedly motioned for the carriage to come towards him, and as the two carriages approached, he quickly jumped into the carriage and kicked the coachman out of his seat.
With a scream, the driver fell to the ground, and then popped out for some distance, and finally by the time he stopped, his neck had broken into a very unsightly angle. After the captain took control of the carriage, he rushed forward with a puff of smoke.
"Alice!" Luna shouted, and Alice jumped onto her carriage, where she struggled to climb to the front of the carriage and grabbed the reins with all her might, then pulled back hard. The two horses in the car were already foaming at the mouth, their eyes were foggy, and blood was gradually oozing from their mouths, but they continued to gallop, which allowed the two to continue the chase.
Seeing this, the captain slammed the iron back compartment into a decaying old tree. The collision knocked down the entire tree.
Alice quickly pulled the reins and drove the carriage into the bush to the left, and then with great difficulty it took a lot of effort to get the carriage back on its way, Luna quickly holding back against the flying dust and debris.
At this moment, the captain suddenly slowed down, which made them rush to the front and level with him, before they had time to brake, and at that moment, the captain's half-crazy gaze, angry expression, and scar across his face all came into my eyes, "Die! Bastard! He roared, then sped up the carriage and quickly threw two*,* which blew the sides of their carriage with unmistakable accuracy.
The carriage was immediately blown apart, and the two horses neighed and Alice with the front of the carriage smashed into the bushes on the side of the road, and Yeluna was thrown nearly twenty feet into the air.
Thankfully, Luna fell down a steep slope, and the sand and gravel on the ground cushioned her descent speed, and eventually, Luna came to a halt in a hard, gray ground where she was unable to move, her bones and muscles groaning for the whole descent, and Luna's vision slowly blurred.
After a few moments, though, she came to her senses.
