Chapter 238, Exploring the Ruins

Just as Qin Lang and his gang were carefully advancing along the edge of the ruins, Li You, who was not far from them, also encountered his own troubles.

"Is this a quality problem, or a design problem?"

Looking at the choking smoke constantly coming out of the engine of the half-track vehicle he was riding in, Li You felt that this was a question worth thinking about.

"Master Li You, this thing...what to do?"

It can be seen that the "driver" Knight of the South Wind seems a little nervous.

Obviously, in his opinion... this kind of "iron horse" that can move forward by itself should be a very precious thing.

However, he was "ridden" and broke.

"Well... none of your business."

After comforting the young knight with a bad face, Li You shook his head and said:
"It's normal for mechanical products to fail, so let's leave this thing here first."

"When we go back, let's see if we can drag it back..."

As he said that, Li You turned around and wanted to change to another car and continue riding.

Before the person took two steps, Su, who had been holding a dead face on one side, spoke lightly.

"Master Li You, I think...you'd better not take the car."

"Ok?"

Hearing Su's words, Li You was stunned, turned around and looked at the latter with some puzzlement, and said:

"why?"

"..."

After staring at Li You for a few seconds, making him uncomfortable, Su continued:
"The failure of the half-track vehicle ... is likely due to engine overload caused by 'overweight'."

"If you still insist on taking the car...I think none of these cars will be able to return to the Central Market!"

"overweight……!"

Li You instantly recalled what Su said.

"Yes, this half-track vehicle is something from the World War II era after all."

"The car that was lying down just now, there were four people sitting on it..."

Li You thought about it, and his eyes had skipped over the people around him.

Not to mention the south wind knight as the "driver".

Although the driving skills are not very good, but the person plus the armor...suffered about 150 kilograms to death.

The next Sally, like the young South Wind Knight, is of "normal weight".

"so……"

"Abnormal, just me and Su?"

"No wonder I felt something was wrong before. My car is indeed the slowest..."

Not to mention that the set of white knights on Li You weighed more than a ton.

Even Su wasn't of normal weight.

To say the least, the "parts" of the whole body... also have to weigh about [-] kilograms.

"If you don't want to sit down, don't sit down... It should be here soon anyway."

Nodding, indicating that he recognized Su's statement, Li You took out his compass and observed it.

Compared with other teams of selectors who came here on their own, Li You was more aware of the location of the "ruins".

Because the team that discovered the "ruins" tried to sell the news as "information" to the market.

In the end, Li You did not disappoint those people.

They used this "information" to exchange twenty bags of wheat from Li You.

"Judging from the odometer of the half-track vehicle, it should be around here..."

Raising the "portable strong light searchlight" in his hand to shine a circle around, Li You immediately began to greet the "Knights of the South Wind" in other vehicles.

"Get out of the car, let's just start walking from here!"

After all, a "frontline outpost" was built directly on the spot.

After the outpost was established, Li You added a few small bonfires inside, and was even very arrogant, using a "twilight road" to lay a "twilight safety zone" of nearly 30 meters nearby.

"This is also impossible..."

Sighing, Li You knew his "money" and had to pay for it.

This "half-track vehicle", plus "rapid construction"... the cost already has thousands of standard resources.

Compared with these four cars, the hundreds of stones used to build these things are really small expenses for Li You.

"Besides, I want to explore this ruin, and I really need a frontline base here..."

"If this exploration goes well, the scale of this frontline base needs to be expanded..."

Thinking in his mind, Li You hadn't stopped talking, and assigned tasks to the more than 20 south wind knights who came this time.

Several drivers and a "mechanized knight team" were left by Li You at the outpost as guards.

Their task is mainly to ensure the safety of the outpost and guard Li You's "babies".

The weapons of these knights are almost all "MG-42".

The other knight squad, who was going to follow Li You into the ruins to explore, had much simpler weapons.

Except for the two "MG-42", the others are equipped with a batch of "STG-44" temporarily made by Li You

Even Li You himself is holding this thing in his hand.

After assigning the task, Li You looked at Sally who was arranging her equipment, hesitated and said:

"Sally, are you sure you want to explore the ruins with your things?"

"Is it a little too heavy?"

"..."

"Ok?"

Sally, who was checking her "Oerlikon 20mm cannon", was stunned, looked at Li You and said:
"It's okay. I actually quite like this thing..."

"..."

Looking at the cannon in Sally's hand, Li You finally said nothing.

The cannon itself plus the ammunition carried by Sally is about 100 kilograms.

For Sally whose attributes are already close to the peak of the second order, this weight is really nothing.

As for Su, who had been silent all the time, it was much simpler.

He didn't even have any armor on his body, he was still wearing the straight red and black military uniform.

Regarding Su's idea of ​​not wanting to carry "heavy firepower", Li You didn't force it.

After all... More than half of Su's strength is actually on her "Red Heron".

When there is a situation, Su, like Li You... can summon her "Red Heron" from the "subspace" at any time.

The only difference is that the red heron summoned by Su still has a "pilot boarding" process.

Unlike Li You, it's just like "transformation".

After the summoning, the whole person is directly in the "King of Lonely Pride"...sit firmly and hold him up.

……

After everything was arranged properly, Li You directly took Sally and Su, and the South Wind Knights with a little supplies, and continued to head north.

According to the intelligence of the "Chosen One Squad", the ruins occupy a huge area.

Most likely the ruins of a huge city.

As Li You led the crowd all the way north, some scattered traces of ruins did begin to appear around.

The intermittent dilapidated roads and the ruined walls that appeared around him from time to time reminded Li You that he was getting closer and closer to his "goal".

On the way forward, Sally also checked out the few ruins she passed.

"Master Li You, judging from the architectural style... this doesn't quite look like a city in the golden age."

"This architectural style, which is built entirely of stones and does not use adhesives, is a bit like the legendary 'Highland Kingdom'."

"..."

"The Highland Kingdom?"

Li You, who was searching the ruins with Sally, was taken aback for a moment, showing interest.

"What is the Highland Kingdom?"

"..."

A hint of thought appeared on her face, and Sally seemed to think for a moment before continuing to look at the dilapidated ruins around her and said:

"The Highland Kingdom is said to be a big country that once stood in the north."

"But the era in which this country existed is quite far away from us."

"At that time... things like the City of a Thousand Winds and the Haines Empire hadn't even appeared..."

"..."

"Is that so?"

"That sounds like a long time ago."

Nodding thoughtfully, Li You understood what Sally said.

The inheritance of the City of Thousand Winds is said to have existed for thousands of years.

In the era when this "Highland Kingdom" existed, even the City of a Thousand Winds had never been established.

That really does not belong to the category of "golden age".

After a moment of hesitation in her eyes, Sally looked at Li You and continued:
"Master Li You, the Highland Kingdom... used to be like a legend."

"It is said that this country used to be very prosperous...but overnight, it died for no reason."

"According to the little information I know...there may be some huge secrets in this."

"Also, because there are a lot of 'strange things' in the ruins, my 'mind-eye perception' has probably been greatly affected."

"I'm afraid we can't provide any decent early warning for our exploration..."

"..."

"This...it shouldn't be a big problem."

Nodding his head to show his understanding, Li You looked at the fog around him and said with a smile:
"We're all in darkness...even if there's something great in this city."

"Can it be greater than darkness?"

As he said that, Li You smiled and continued to move forward with the "portable strong light searchlight".

"We even overturned 'Him', no matter what is in the city... we will shoot him into a sieve!"

……

Just as Li You led the people to advance quickly, Qin Lang and his party, who were more than ten kilometers away from him, slowed down their progress.

"Old Qin, the number of monsters in this place is getting bigger and bigger..."

"Are we sure we want to move on?"

When Ai Qingqing spoke, she simply stopped advancing and looked at the expressions of several people very seriously.

Since they first encountered the two "zombie centurions", they have advanced nearly three kilometers.

The surrounding environment has also changed from a scattered wilderness with some ruins to an extremely dense construction area.

Although the building density is far from reaching the standard of the city, it is obvious...they have approached the exterior of this "urban ruin".

"Qingqing, what do you mean... do we stop here?"

With the first-class bright light, Qin Lang looked around.

Countless ruins are lying quietly nearby, but most of them have almost collapsed and weathered to become "large archaeological sites", and there is no value for searching at all.

"Although saying this may dampen everyone's enthusiasm, it's not very auspicious..."

Ai Qingqing organized the language and continued:

"But in this short distance of a few kilometers, we have encountered "monsters" more than a dozen times."

"And most of them are beyond our ability to deal with..."

"Go on, who knows what kind of scary guy you will meet?"

"..."

Listening to Ai Qingqing's dignified words, Wumao and Zhenle beside him also showed thoughtful expressions.

On the way they came, the two "zombie centurions" who made everyone fight hard were indeed the simplest things.

As for the "cultist priest", "violent bristle rat" and the like.

Almost all of them run away as soon as they meet each other.

Unlike the big, slow zombie centurions, these monsters, which are about the same size as humans, are extremely agile.

Especially the "Rampaging Wirerat".

Not only are the "spikes" it fires highly poisonous, they are even as powerful as small-caliber bullets.

If it weren't for the monsters in this ruins, I don't know why my reaction was a little slow when I encountered them.

The four of them are probably downsizing by now.

"..."

After thinking for a moment, Qin Lang raised his head, looked at the few people and said:
"Qingqing is right..."

"Based on our strength, going further inside... is indeed a bit overwhelming."

"Then... everyone just search around here?"

"Although most of the buildings are no longer worth searching, but a few of them barely maintain a frame. I think we should be able to find something useful!"

"..."

"I have no opinion!"

"Safety first!"

As Wu Mao and Zhen Le expressed their opinions one after another, the four-person team had initially unified their views.

When even though they were no longer heading towards the depths, they began to search laterally towards nearby dilapidated buildings.

……

"How long has this place been deserted? Most of the things have decayed to the point of no use."

While speaking, Wu Mao was still holding a rusty "copper pot" full of holes in his hand to check.

It can be seen that in an unknown long time ago, this copper pot seemed to be a vessel for holding water or wine, and it was also very exquisite.

Even if it rots into what it is today, you can still see some exquisite pattern decorations on it.

"Did I say you're stupid?"

Seeing Wu Mao looking left and right at a "trash", Ai Qingqing, who was covered with a rag on one side of her face, suddenly let out an angry voice.

"What do you see this kind of rags for?"

"In the ruins here, the only thing that is useful to us is the 'Wonderful Object'."

"As long as the strange object is held in the hand, it will immediately produce a 'response'! In other words, the 'item information' of the strange object is different!"

"..."

"You can't say that..."

Throwing the tattered copper pot in his hand aside, Wu Mao continued to rummage through the ruins while saying:

"I know that strange things have attributes, but aren't you curious about the past of this ruin?"

"If we can learn more about this place, then... the search will probably be a lot easier!"

"..."

Wu Mao's seemingly serious words got Ai Qingqing's eyes.

"We also saw a lot of steles before."

"But the hieroglyphs on it, we can't understand at all!"

"In this case, do you think you can 'research' something out...Master?"
