If there was no reminder from the moth, Ding Chen didn't feel that the dilapidated building in front of him looked like a palace, according to his way of thinking as an engineering student, this thing should be called a ruin now, maybe it should be called an observatory in the past, but it definitely has nothing to do with the palace.

However, with the moth's reminder, Ding Chen changed his mind, so he immediately realized that this tall building was indeed a palace in the eyes of the old man. At least it's much stronger than the thatched hut of the old house.

The group standing in front of the ruins had no intention of entering the ruins, and looked as if they were waiting for someone. The fighters among them scattered and stood on guard, leaving only three women standing at the entrance to the ruins.

Ding Chen felt very strange, so he let the moth stay where he was, and bypassed the cordon and sneaked into the ruins.

Although he is not really a scavenger, after all, he has made a cameo appearance for a while, so he still has a set of methods on how to enter the ruins, some of these methods come from Uncle Potato, and some are his own inventions.

It looks like it used to be a weather station, and of course it could have been a cabin in the woods. However, Ding Chen has not seen this movie, so he is not worried about what demons are sealed inside. On the contrary, he wondered why there was such a big hole in the ring of the guard. Because from what he observed from the outside, if someone was able to rush out of the main entrance of the ruins, there was a good chance that the three women would be subdued before the guards could react. Of course, if Ding Chen didn't guess wrong, there was a woman in there who should be a bodyguard.

There is a reason why Lao Fang said that this is a palace. When he got closer, Ding Chen found that the entire building was built of artificial marble, and even after decades of wind and rain, there was still not much damage. And it also doesn't have a lot of windows to sneak in like a normal building.

But Ding Chen still quickly found a breakthrough, which should be the air intake channel of the central air conditioner. It is about three and a half meters above the ground.

With his rifle on his back, he climbed down a tree to the top of the mountain, then climbed the branches to the vent.

Nearby plants were newly grown after the building was abandoned, but a few decades gave them plenty of opportunity to grow into large trees. Ding Chen let go of his hand and jumped over before the end of the branch could no longer bear his weight, his hands clinging to the lower edge of the vent.

Then came a more painful experience. He hung himself on the ventilation net with the strap of his backpack, took out the tools, removed the mounting screws around him, and removed the ventilation net.

The lack of a suitable foothold made his movements look clumsy, and the heavily corroded installation screws made the disassembly process very unsmooth, but fortunately, Ding Chen relied on his strong arm strength and extraordinary physical strength to overcome them one by one.

When removing the last screw, there was a little accident, and the corroded bolt was screwed off by Ding Chen, and then the railing of the ventilation net could not support Ding Chen's weight and fell directly from the mount. Ding Chen dodged in time so that he was not hit by the ventilation net. But his backpack strap was still attached to the ventilation net, and he couldn't retract it in this situation, so he had to let go and jump off.

After repeating the action of climbing the tree just now, he finally got into the ventilation tunnel. The dust that had accumulated in it for decades made it difficult for Ding Chen to breathe. He had to douse a towel from the kettle to cover his mouth and nose, and then got out of the nearest vent. Then I found myself in a storage room.

It was full of debris, almost reaching the vent, but when Ding Chen came out of it, he stepped on the things piled up underneath and was almost buried alive by the flying dust.

Ding Chen was sweating when he dismantled the vent, and then he had been dealing with the old gray for many years, and when he came out of the storage room, he completely became a black man, even Ye Dai estimated that he might not be able to recognize it.

The corridor was also covered with dust, but Ding Chen felt that he heard the sound of someone moving, which surprised him.

In a place like this, where there is dust everywhere, it's impossible to expect to be able to sneak in without even noticing.

Even if Ding Chen can hide the footprints he left behind, as long as he has a little experience, he can still detect that someone is coming in according to the clues. So Ding Chen didn't waste time dealing with the footprints.

He walked slowly down the hallway in the direction of the sound, and then made sure that his discovery was correct, that there were indeed people there, and that there were quite a few of them.

Ding Chen didn't have much confidence that he would survive to the end in a face-to-face conflict with such a number of enemies, so he crouched in the corner with his rifle and waited for an opportunity. After a while, with the sound of dull footsteps, another group of people came out from the depths of the building.

Ding Chen faintly felt that something was wrong, and was even more worried that these people would expand the search area, so he carefully retreated along the original path.

This building is very large, so it does not have a corridor leading to the end like a normal building, but rather a bit like the cleaning area of Vault Thirteen where Ding Chen once stayed, although it is not that large, but there are also several corridors crisscrossing it.

After finding that this road was impassable, Ding Chen changed another corridor. He had always had a good sense of direction, so this time he was already very close to the exit, and then unsurprisingly found that there were also people standing guard there.

Ding Chen had already prepared, and took a look at the empty head and slipped into a room next to him with a half-hidden door.

It looked like it was supposed to be an office, with four desks placed against each other against the wall in the middle. Because it has been too long, the dust on it has been more than ten centimeters high, and it is impossible to see if there is anything else on the table.

Ding Chen looked around and felt that this should be the outermost room, because it had a large floor-to-ceiling glass window, although the window glass was so dirty that he couldn't see the outside, but the piece of glass on one corner was broken, and Ding Chen could feel the cold wind blowing in from there.

He lifted his legs and walked lightly, slowly moving towards the window. It's not that I'm worried about alarming the people outside, it's really that the dust in the house is too big, and it's still myself who suffers from it.

The tempered glass was very strong, and Ding Chen didn't have the confidence to break it quietly, so he had to fight the idea of the broken glass window. He carefully plucked the rotten leaves that had piled up on the window, poured some water on them, and pressed the dust down, and then held his breath and leaned in. Then I found that the group of people who had just come out of the building had already arrived outside the door and were standing opposite the three women.

Ding Chen was very close to them, and he could see clearly without a telescope. One man from each side came out and stood together, talking something. Among the group of people that Ding Chen followed all the way was a woman, who couldn't see her face clearly because she was wearing a hat, but she felt that she was in good shape, and her temperament was quite good, and she was obviously a well-educated person.

And across from her, standing was a short and stocky bald old man, wearing very strange clothes, which could be summarized as nine, green cloth clothes, black cloth shoes, and white cloth socks.

When Ding Chen was still there trying to observe, he suddenly heard a knock on the door behind him, and someone rushed in.
