Section 215 Doubts
The next expedition team targeted the archives of Black Gold Ruins. However, after arriving here, people discovered that the information here had been artificially destroyed. Not only that, the nearby libraries were also devastatingly damaged, and all the information from the former civilization had disappeared.
Holding half of the piece of paper that was burnt out of shape, the leader Kendick frowned.
“That’s not right.”
"What?" Chen Yan asked.
"These traces are inconsistent with the age of the ruins." Kendick picked up the piece of paper and showed it to Chen Yan. "The black gold ruins are relics from the last era, and it has been at least hundreds of years since then, and this piece of paper has been burned for only a few years."
"That is, in recent times, there are still people moving in the ruins?" Chen Yan asked.
"Maybe it's someone else, maybe that guy." Kendick replied, and the terrifying figure appeared in the minds of both of them at the same time, burning iron chains, and terrifying demons.
"Why did he destroy these documents?" Chen Yan asked.
"I don't know, maybe there is something here that he doesn't want the world to know." Kendick replied, his eyes lit up. "It's a pity that he made me more interested."
"I suggest you end this expedition as soon as possible." Chen Yan looked at his butler. "Because we may be in trouble. The weather forecast will be a sandstorm passing by nearby days, and the ruins should be affected."
"A sandstorm is nothing. I will not interrupt the adventure." Kendick replied firmly. "Compared with sandstorms, I think that guy is more dangerous. I have applied for support from the headquarters." "Oh?" Chen Yan raised his eyebrows. "High did the headquarters agree?"
"There is no answer yet. But I think there should be no problem, it just takes time." Kendick said, looking deep into the ruins. "I think this ruin is more important than we expected, so we can't give up like this anyway."
There is no doubt that Kendick is a strong leader, so even if the expedition team has developed one kind of emotion, the exploration still has to continue. With the deepening of the ruins, the entire black gold ruins have also appeared in front of everyone. The huge residential areas, powerful factories, and complex and effective three-dimensional transportation networks are all telling everyone how different it is from today's civilization. Or some of its technologies are not advanced, but its scale and overall urban planning seem to be a miracle, which makes the expedition members feel relaxed and happy.
"At least... tens of millions of people live here... Oh my God..." An expedition member exclaimed. The gathering of such a scale in the wind and turbid domain today is no longer visible. Although the technology of the ruined ecosystem ensures that they survive in the desertified realm, it also seriously limits the scale.
The most important thing is that they cannot get that much water and energy.
Compared with the magnificent ruins of the former civilization, the former civilizations are like creators, while they seem to be parasites.
"By the way! Energy system! Water resource system!" Kendick said suddenly. "We need those."
Everyone suddenly woke up. If something of the Black Gold Ruins is the most valuable, then there is no doubt that its energy system is definitely second to none. An energy center that can support the operation of such a huge city is undoubtedly a major discovery for the ruins ecosystem in the Fengtuo Domain today. It may even expand human civilization again.
"Hey, who discovered the coordinates of the power system just now? Take us there..." Kendick said loudly on the off-road vehicle. The expedition team had large scanning equipment, which had conducted a preliminary scan of the black gold ruins. The heavy parts were specially marked on the map.
Although this kind of scanning is inaccurate, it can provide the simplest pointing for the team.
"There!" An expedition member pulled out a light curtain and sent the coordinates to everyone's brain. "Fifteen kilometers away!"
"Damn it, it's a straight line distance, and the streets here seem like a maze!"
"Start up! We're going back to camp."
Amid the roar, the convoy ran wildly on the street. Smoke and dust filled their backs, like a rolling dragon.
What no one knew was that at the end of a building behind them, a figure was slowly standing upright.
The flames flowed on his iron chains. The corners of his mouth were slightly opened 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 prompts of the light curtain map. Those ancient telephone poles point to the ground of the energy system like beacons guiding the way.
But no one expected that when they arrived at the coordinates with hope, they still saw a piece of ruins. Like the previous libraries and other facilities, the place was seriously damaged by man. The ruined factories, collapsed buildings, and violently destroyed machines and parts all showed what they had experienced. The charred mark that almost cut across the entire factory made it even more clear who did these things.
"This kind of thing is no longer suitable for today's boundaries." The expedition team explored in the ruins of the power plant, picked up a scrap iron plate and looked at it. "Its energy efficiency conversion is very low, and it is seriously polluted."
“The most important thing is that we don’t have that much fuel right now.”
“So the facilities here don’t make much sense to us.”
Everyone was discussing and doing various inspections. Old Kendick never said a word and walked in the huge factory building with a cane. Looking at the huge cooling towers in rows, he waved to Chen Yan.
"What's the matter?" Chen Yan stepped forward and asked.
"I was wondering why this place would be destroyed," Kendick said, with a serious expression. "I think you can see that the facilities here are meaningless to us, but why are even such facilities destroyed by that guy? What exactly does he want to hide?"
"I think you should ask your team members. They are professionals." Chen Yan shrugged.
"I believe in my subordinates' professional standards, but I don't believe in their intuition." Kendick replied. He turned his head to look at Chen Yan. "And according to you, the witch hunter, are a group of guys with excellent intuition."
"Hey, old man, I won't admit it." Chen Yan touched his nose, but then he showed a thoughtful look.
That's right, the question raised by Old Man Kendick is so important. This expedition has been entangled with the terrifying demon from the beginning. The pursuit on the highway and the destruction of important ruins and the destruction of important facilities are not accidental, but inevitable.
He is guarding something or covering something.
Then what exactly is it?
Chen Yan thought silently, his eyes landing on the ground under his feet... (To be continued.)
