Volume 2: Magnificent Celebrations Chapter 2: Ancient Ruins

The ancient ruins are hidden deep underground, and they can only be reached by going down to more than 100 floors with the help of elevators, and after the three of them got out of the elevator, they stood on the edge of the cliff and looked at the glorious ruins, and they couldn't help but be shocked.

The city is full of modern high-rise buildings, with five pillars of heaven supporting the dome, several rows of headlights slightly illuminating the whole city, the city is dilapidated, as if it has experienced a great war, it looks very desolate under the dim light, and the middle pillar is engraved with a huge mutilated sign.

The olive branch is a wreath that supports a circle, which has several circles like a target, and some irregular raised surfaces, like the land marked on a map.

None of the three knew the pattern, and they didn't know what it meant.

There is a rope bridge made of alloy on the edge of the cliff, no matter how fierce the cold wind blows from the bottom of the cliff, it still just shakes and never breaks, after the three of them walked to the rope bridge and looked at each other, Ah Lian took the lead and swayed on the rope bridge, having a lot of fun.

Lin Tian was about to walk on the rope bridge, but was grabbed by Mo Ya.

"Brother Xiaotian, I'm ...... I'm afraid."

"Afraid?"

Lin Tian was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Then grab my hand."

"Really?"

Moya laughed.

Lin Tian nodded, took Mo Ya's little hand, and walked onto the rope bridge.

A flush welled up on the face of the Mo Ya porcelain doll, and before she had time to be happy, she was frightened by the abyss below, and hurriedly closed her eyes and hugged Lin Tian's arm, Lin Tian smiled, and slowly crossed the rope bridge with Mo Ya.

"Whew! Hahaha! Come on, it's fun! This."

"Don't shake it anymore, it's a big-breasted and brainless woman, it's uncomfortable to die."

Ah Lian was jumping sideways from side to side on the rope bridge, having a good time, but Moya was so scared that she closed her eyes and scolded, swaying, which made her very uncomfortable.

The three of them crossed the rope bridge, and Mo Ya and Ah Lian quarreled about the rope bridge again, Lin Tian was accustomed to it, and did not stop it, but walked forward to look at the ancient ruins below.

Ancient ruins, the city is wide, and you can occasionally see some explorers still searching for treasure on the edge.

After entering the city, Lin Tian and the three of them were shocked by the desolate, dilapidated, and terrifying street scene, there were corpses and bones everywhere, there were people and animals, and there were many unknown creatures, they were all born in strange shapes, a bit like fog beasts, but not exactly.

Not only that, but there are also many mutilated robots on the streets, as well as various fighter jets, ground armored vehicles, tracked tanks, and all kinds of cold weapons.

Mo Ya was timid, she always held Lin Tian's arm, and didn't dare to look at the human bones.

Ah Lian looked left and right with a big grin, and was very curious about what she saw.

Hearing that there are many unknown creatures here, Lin Tian has always been vigilant to prevent sneak attacks.

The three of them walked around the city, but found nothing to use, so they had to head to the center of the city.

After walking for a while, Lin Tian stopped, his eyes turned to the right, and he stared at a ruin.

"Friend, after following us for so long, it's time to come out and show your face, how about it?"

Ah Lian and Mo Ya stood silently behind Lin Tian, they knew from before that someone was following them, but they didn't take it to heart, and now, the person who was following them had been following the three of them here, Lin Tian felt uncomfortable, so he said it.

Seeing that the ruins were still not moving, Lin Tian shook his head and slowly walked there.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not malicious, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......

Just as Lin Tian was about to approach, a gray-haired young man suddenly stood up from the ruins, to be honest, the technology he tracked was really not technical at all, and it was almost pasted on the face of the person being tracked, as long as the vigilant person released a little bit of Lingzi radar, he could sense the specific location.

"How did you get in?"

Lin Tian glanced at the young man a few times, and was suddenly stunned, with some surprise in his expression, the young man was just an ordinary person, how did he get here?

The young man glanced at Lin Tian and the others, a little hesitant, "I—I came in from the path."

Lin Tian was puzzled, "What are you doing here?"

The boy bowed his head, "Come to my father, he has been looking for treasure in the ruins for seven days, and my mother is dying."

"Your dad was an explorer too?"

"Not ......"

"And he came in from the trail too?"

"Uh-huh......

Lin Tian was slightly stunned, just an ordinary person, what did he do in such a dangerous place, treasure hunting? Don't want to die? And it's a long way from the ground, alas, what's going on with the path?

The three of them gathered around the boy with great interest and gave him some bread, and after the boy was excited and thankful for his devour, he told them his story.

The boy's name is Durant, and he lives in the slums of this dream city, and Lin Tian is not at all surprised by the word slum, just like where there is light, there will be darkness.

There are five people in Durant's family, in addition to his parents and two younger sisters, all of whom rely on his father to go to the mine and his mother to do odd jobs to barely make ends meet, but last year, his father was hit in the leg by a falling stone, and he limped after getting a little compensation and lost his job in mining, in order to support his family, he took risks to participate in the treasure hunt.

It is very dangerous for ordinary people to enter the ruins, there are many powerful creatures here, any kind, can easily kill ordinary people, even B-level explorers have to be cautious, but, can not resist the temptation of high returns in the ruins, therefore, there are many ordinary people who take risks in order to get rich overnight from the path into the ruins, most of them died inside, only a few people can bring out items from the ruins, as for whether it is a treasure or not, it depends on luck, the things they bring back, they don't dare to give it to the official at all, It can only be sold on the black market, and how much it can be sold depends on luck, some people do get rich overnight, and some people work hard, but the things they bring out are worthless.

After listening to this, the three of them looked sympathetic.

Mo Ya said, "Brother Xiaotian, why don't we help him?"

Ah Lian nodded in agreement.

Lin Tian looked indifferent, "Yes, but where to find it?"

"My dad used to say that he found an underground lab in the west and wanted to go there and bang his luck, and I think he should go there," Durant said.

"Westside?"

Lin Tian took out the map issued by the official and looked at it, and after confirming the location, he got up and said, "We are now in the east, if we want to go to the west, we can only go through it, let's go through."

"Well, good!"

Ah Lian and Mo Ya nodded.

Durant stopped the three of them with a shocked expression, "You don't plan to pass through the middle, do you?"

Lin Tian nodded as a matter of course, "Yes, it's too far from the side, the best way is to pass through the middle, what's wrong?"

"No, no, no, no!" Durant shook his head into a rattle, and his face was full of horror, "You can't go to the middle, even if you're explorers."

Ah Lian wondered, "Why?"

Durant trembled and said, "I heard from my father that there are fierce and huge monsters in the middle, and even powerful adventurers are no match for them, so let's go around from the side."

Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders, "I don't care, but you said that your father hasn't been back for seven days, so for such a long time, aren't you afraid of accidents?"

"I ......"

Durant suddenly made a mistake.

Lin Tian stepped forward and patted Durant on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, you just need to follow us." After speaking, despite the boy's objections, he walked forward around the boy.

Ah Lian and Mo Ya also looked at Durant with a smile on their faces, following Lin Tian's steps, but all three of them wore masks, Durant couldn't see what the expressions of the three of them were, Durant stared at the backs of the three of them, struggled in his heart for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and followed Lin Tian and them forward, this may be his only hope.

Along the way, occasionally encountering other explorers, Lin Tian nodded politely, and the other party also responded with a smile, after all, everyone has seen Ah Lian's performance, and no one dares to cause trouble, unless it is a long life, it is normal for dead people in the ruins to be dead.

After the other explorers saw the direction of Lin Tian and the others, they couldn't help but be in awe, because no one had gone to the middle for a long time, and almost none of the people who went came back alive, and no one knew what was in the middle, only that there were many powerful monsters inside, and no one dared to approach.

Durant has always looked at the three of them curiously, especially when he saw that other explorers respected Lin Tian and the three of them, he was even more convinced that his decision was correct, and the hope of finding his father was ignited in his heart.

Lin Tian walked in the front, with Mo Ya and Durant in the middle, and Ah Lian in the back, it was not far from the center of the city, Lin Tian suddenly stopped, and his keen sense of smell smelled a strong smell of blood.

"Moya, you are responsible for taking care of Durant, Ah Lian, you are responsible for breaking the back, and leave it to me in front."

"Good!"

"Good!"

The farther you go to the middle, the more ruins and bones there are, obviously after a big battle, Moya grabbed Durant's hand a little nervously, and didn't dare to look at it more, which made Durant nervous.

The heart of the city is not only full of the smell of blood, but also the eerie chill that constantly overflows, which is very strange, and the faint light illuminates the terrifying eyes of the shops next to the street.

Durant's heart is furious, and his mouth is out

Lin Tian smiled slightly and said, "Moya, protect Durant, Ah Lian, pay attention to the back, let's continue walking."

The second daughter nodded.

Because of the light, the monsters in the house look like a long house, and the four of them can't see clearly, but they can see that each monster has four eyes, which are bigger than dogs, and their eyes are bloodthirsty.

As if they had received an order, they just surrounded a few people, and did not show up until they had walked for about ten minutes, when the monsters finally came out of the house, drooling fishy and disgusting saliva, and looked at the four of them with fierce eyes.

The real size of these monsters is indeed about the same as that of a dog or a wolf, there is no hair on their bodies, only a layer of skin as red as blood, four claws are very long, and their teeth are also very sharp, and they look so ugly that people can't help but want to vomit overnight food, and after a while, hundreds of monsters poured out from all directions, surrounding the four of them, Durant's legs trembled, and he regretted it very much.
