Chapter 237, To the Ruins
The news of the huge ruins found in the north of the "Central Great Market" quickly spread throughout the entire market.

Not only Qin Lang and others, but also many other selected teams have changed their plans.

Many teams even plunged into the mist and headed towards the ruins after adding a little supplies.

Strange things... Only the ruins or ruins of the city can be discovered.

This is already a widely circulated "setting" in the chat channel.

……

When a large number of selected people bought supplies and went to the ruins, Li You was not idle.

During this week, Li You passed through places such as "Stone Mine" and "Underground Altar", and successively gained hundreds of "Elementary Editing Rights".

After setting Tracy's attributes to the limit of 21 points, Li You directly used the remaining twenty or so ordinary permissions in his hands to upgrade a batch of "justice barriers".

Now the central market and the number of residents under Li You's command have grown again.

He needs a lot of imperial gold and imports food from wandering traders.

The other more than 50 elite privileges were all conferred by Li You as "Knight of the South Wind".

Although in the second stage, when the selectors are all first-tier, the "first-tier knights" edited by elite editors can no longer be said to be very strong.

But anyway, the overall combat effectiveness is still stronger than the chosen one.

After all, most of the chosen ones don't have any firm will to fight, nor can they be said to have rich combat experience.

Like many selected teams in the "Central Market", Li You is now making final preparations.

He is also going to visit the huge ruins of the city in the north.

"Evelyn, the market side... I'll leave it to you."

During the interval between the supplies of the south wind knights, Li You gave Evelyn the last order to Evelyn who was staying behind in the market.

This time he went to the "Great Ruins", he didn't plan to bring too many people.

Apart from the unshakable chief bodyguard Sally, and Su who lived alone outside the camp, Li You only planned to bring over twenty more south wind knights.

The role of these people is only to help Li You carry supplies.

"..."

Hearing Li You's instructions, the corners of Evelyn's mouth raised slightly, she stared at Li You and said:
"Master Li You, are you sure...don't bring any more people?"

"With only such a small number of people, I'm afraid they won't be able to protect you properly."

"..."

"no need……"

Waving at Evelyn, Li You showed a confident expression.

"In the fog of the second stage, no one can pose a threat to me!"

"Now that I'm a white knight, I'm not even afraid of a 20mm cannon."

"Not to mention...you can transform at any time!"

……

On the other side, after a large amount of camping supplies were prepared, a group of south wind knights gathered near Li You with huge packages.

With Li You's current wealth, it is naturally impossible for Li You to walk to the huge ruins like the other chosen ones.

He built four half-tracks directly from the Universal Construction Furnace.

One of them is used to carry supplies, and the other three are purely for carrying people.

"Unfortunately, my encyclopedia only goes to 1944..."

Li You was actually not very satisfied with these three half-track vehicles.

Not to mention the slow speed, the load capacity is not very good.

But no matter how you say it... It's faster than everyone running over there with their feet together.

……

Driving in the fog on a half-track is not a good experience.

The "car lights" that come with the car body cannot be used in the fog.

Such "mortal light" cannot be observed by the chosen ones in the mist.

Therefore, the lighting equipment on several half-track vehicles are all "portable strong light searchlights".

In addition, the passengers didn't feel very good because they were traveling in a field with almost no roads at all.

At least in Li You's opinion, sitting on this thing...it's better to go for a run by yourself.

"This kind of half-track vehicle does not seem to be suitable for use in field exploration."

"After returning this time, these vehicles will be transferred back to the Swan Castle camp..."

While thinking, Li You couldn't help turning his eyes to Sally and Su beside him.

The two people who were in the same car with him now had very silent expressions, apparently neither of them had any intention of chatting.

Sally has been feeling depressed these days, and Li You knows that.

And Su... These days, he almost always lived by himself at the abandoned outpost.

In Li You's camp, he is almost becoming a "marginal man".

After staring at Su and pondering for a moment, Li You looked at the latter and spoke.

"Su, have you considered moving to the market?"

"The last battle, because of the information deviation, you were not able to participate."

"So I think it would be better for you to live directly on the market side..."

"..."

"Moving to the market?"

Hearing Li You's words, Su's slightly indifferent face froze.

"But... the underground palace also needs to be guarded?"

"..."

"You don't have to worry about the underground palace."

Shaking his head, Li You continued:

"If you move to the central market, the pressure on market defense will be reduced a lot."

"At that time, I will be able to dispatch a few knight squads to the underground palace as guards."

Seeing Su's hesitation, Li You added:
"There are a lot of places in the Central Market."

"After you come over, I will separate a camp for you, so that no one else will disturb you!"

After finishing speaking, Li You looked at Su, waiting for her answer.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Su raised his head and looked at Li You with emotionless eyes.

"If you insist . . . I have no problem."

……

Two days later, the fog was deep.

"Old Qin, are you sure our direction is okay?"

In the churning deep fog, Qin Lang and his party were holding torches and heading north at an even speed.

"The direction is absolutely fine, the compass still works after all."

Waving the bronze compass in his hand, Qin Lang hesitated and said:
"The only question is, how do we locate that ruin?"

"According to the logic... we should have reached the ruins by now!"

"..."

Listening to Qin Lang's words, several people around showed blank expressions.

Only Ai Qingqing hesitated and said:

"There is almost no visibility in the fog... this time, will we just run for nothing??"

"A trip for nothing?"

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Qin Lang looked at the mist swirling around him, as if he wanted to pounce on everyone at any time and continued:

"According to the gossip circulating in the market, the scale of the ruins is huge."

"I figured, if we're really around . . . then we'll find it sooner or later."

With that said, Qin Lang held up the torch and walked a few steps.

"Actually, I think... we shouldn't be far away from that big ruin!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to dig on the ground.

In a matter of moments, Qin Lang unearthed a very strange "piece of stone tablet" from the ground.

"what?"

Looking at the "stone tablet fragments" excavated by Qin Lang, Ai Qingqing and others gathered around.

Before, they hadn't noticed... there was such a thing half buried in the ground.

"We can't understand the writing on this."

After sweeping away the dirt attached to the front of the stele, Wu Mao was the first to express his opinion.

The crooked writing on the stele is not something that the Blue Star people can understand at all.

Obviously, this is a text exclusive to the mist world.

"In the fog, there are not many artificial objects like this."

"Since there is such a stone monument here, I think... the city must be nearby!"

Standing up and clapping his hands, Qin Lang showed a hint of hesitation again on his face.

"The only question is, will the supplies we carry...will be able to support us until we find the stele?"

Qin Lang's words also silenced the people on the side.

This time when we went out to explore, the "torches" almost took up most of everyone's burden.

Almost everyone came out with more than fifty exquisite torches on their backs.

Four people add up to more than 200 sticks.

"Firelight" is the foundation for everyone to settle down in the fog.

Even when you are on the road, you have tried to use it sparingly.

Up to now, there are nearly 40 torches that they have used.

"We don't have many torches in reserve."

"And you must keep at least thirty to forty sticks for use on the return trip..."

As Qin Lang said, he simply squatted down, randomly found a broken rock from the ground, and pulled it up.

"This also means that if we want to continue exploring..."

"Even if you look at it from the most economical point of view, you can only explore for two to three days at most!"

"..."

"Three or two days..."

Sighing, Wu Mao also imitated Qin Lang's appearance and squatted down, sighing:
"It's not that I poured cold water on it... for two or three days, we couldn't find the ruins... Huh?"

With a slight snort, Wu Mao picked up a dead branch next to him and poked it in front of him.

After a while, everyone looked at what Wu Mao had dug up, and everyone was a little stunned.

"What do you think this is like?"

Looking at the small piece of "road ruins" he excavated, Wu Mao touched his chin and continued:
"Could it be that this is our luck?"

"If this is the ruins of the road, if we dig all the way to find it, will we be able to follow the ruins of the road and find the 'ruins'?"

"..."

"It makes sense..."

Nodding, Qin Lang and others followed Wu Mao and dug around on the ground nearby.

With the excavation of the crowd, a dilapidated stone road about three meters wide was quickly revealed.

"It is indeed a road...and, it seems to be extending to the north..."

Looking at the dilapidated road on the ground, the eyes of several people suddenly lit up with excitement.

For this "exploration", everyone can use blood to describe it!

Otherwise, just so many torches.

At the "Central Market", at least a few bags of wheat can be replaced!

……

Maybe luck really has enveloped everyone.

After advancing along the excavated road all the way to the northeast, the scenery in the eyes of everyone began to gradually change.

The seemingly unchanging wilderness gradually gave way to scattered building ruins.

But perhaps because of the passage of time, these buildings have all decayed and collapsed.

Qin Lang and others also tried to explore the most intact building among them, but there was nothing valuable in it.

Decaying furniture, and rotten ironware... are worthless to them at this time.

"However, this is a discovery!"

After leaving the ruins, several people felt their hearts burning.

When they got here, they didn't even need to dig from time to time to locate them.

A broken road is just exposed on the surface, guiding their way forward.

"This should be the big ruin."

"But judging from the situation of the 'periphery', the area of ​​the ruins is probably not small!"

As he was advancing, Qin Lang, who was at the forefront, was still carefully observing the situation on the ground.

It can be seen that the few of them should be regarded as the "first echelon".

At least, apart from the "exploration team" who revealed the news, the road they are currently walking... should not have been visited by others.

There was no trace of human activity in the shallow layer of soil on the broken road.

At this time, Zhenle, who was walking behind, said hesitantly:
"I heard that in the ruins, there are very powerful monsters guarding us... Have we fought?"

"monster……?"

Zhenle's words made the expressions of the other three people in the team change.

"This... is also impossible, right?"

With a bitter smile, Qin Lang patted the Mauser 98 rifle behind him and said:
"As long as we don't encounter second-level monsters, we should be able to deal with them with the weapons we have now."

"My only concern is that the density of monsters in the city is...too exaggerated."

"It is said that the expedition team last time did not go too deep."

"Because there are already a large number of monsters active on the edge of the ruins, so everyone must be small this time..."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Mao on one side suddenly stood still, then coughed dryly and said:

"Okay! Don't be careful!"

"Say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here! The monster... is here!"

"..."

"what!!"

Hearing Wu Mao's words, Qin Lang and the others showed alert expressions.

The rifles on their backs were held in their hands one after another.

At this time, the "monster" I Mao mentioned also slowly came out of the fog from the side on the right where he was.

"Zombie Centurion!"

Seeing the two huge "zombie centurions" emerging from the fog, several people showed shocked expressions.

Although this monster is also Tier [-], its combat power...is much stronger than the chosen one!

"It's a little troublesome!"

First, they took out the "headlights" made with flashlights from the bags around their waists. Qin Lang looked at the few people in a low voice and said:
"Not sure if there are more around..."

"Everyone, be careful, don't leave the protection of each other's sight!"

As he said that, he put his rifle on his shoulder, and pointed at the zombie centurion who seemed to have not yet "woke up" with a big sword not far away...just one shot.
