A Million Possible

Chapter 679 Ancient “Relics” (4,000 words)

[Task (Part One): You wake up from the cracks of time and open your eyes to see the world. You decide to move forward and explore]

…

The information in his mind slowly disappeared and faded. At the same time, Cheng Lin also sensed that the nearby gale had disappeared, the oval hole in front had disappeared, and the entire weird “force field” had disappeared in a long time. Only he himself remained stuck in the air, staring at the strange world under his feet.

It is a land composed of forests and hills. The original topography has been changed, and the traces of modernity have completely disappeared, making it difficult to find a trace.

The barren mountain peaks are full of wanton trees and weeds, almost like primitive jungles, but probably because of the climate, these trees are not particularly lush, and the air humidity is not high, so there is no fog in the forest.

As for the further distance, the situation is similar, except that when Cheng Lin looks towards the south end, he sees some ruined walls faintly in the undulating mountains.

“The Great Wall…” Cheng Lin quickly realized what it was, and immediately sighed.

An epoch passed, but some of these buildings still survived. But this also provided him with a message that he was still in his original position.

“That void turned out to lead to another Universe? So, it almost drained the air from the earth and caused the tragic severance of civilization? Really…”

Cheng Lin was mixed up for a while, and could only sigh the fragility of civilization, but in just a few seconds, he recovered from the low mood, after all… he was used to it.

“Well, according to the task reminder, it is for me to explore north…” Cheng Lin calmed down, condensed his thoughts, and then considered the problem of his task.

He didn’t fall immediately, but looked to the north, and found that there were similar barren hills in his vision, and he didn’t see people. However, from the logical analysis of the mission, if you go in this direction, you will inevitably find something.

“Did you fly over…or…huh?” After confirming the direction, Cheng Lin was hesitating, and suddenly noticed that a faint light reflected from a mountain in front of him, extremely dazzling.

He raised his head and saw that the sun just appeared in the clouds in the sky, and then it was obscured by the clouds. Today’s season is probably midsummer and the weather is cloudy.

After thinking about it, guessing that the light was most likely caused by something reflecting the sunlight, Cheng Lin immediately manipulated the He Jian and flew in that direction.

Soon, he slowly landed to the top of the mountain. When he landed, the plants around his feet trembled and turned their heads in disgust.

Cheng Lin: “…”

With a sigh, Cheng Lin tried to cover his own breath, using this method to block out the effect of “Plant Nemesis”. This was a trick he developed after he was promoted to the seventh rank.

After doing this, he looked towards the top of the mountain and raised his eyebrows. The trees on the top of the mountain were relatively sparse, with large rocks all over the place. Cheng Lin walked over and found the “reflection source”-it was actually a small pool of water, not too big. There is a lot of rain in the area, it looks very clear, and the sky is reflected in it.

A few leaves and withered pink-white flowers drifted slowly across the water, conveying a sense of tranquility.

“It’s just a pool…” Cheng Lin was a little disappointed, and was about to leave. Soon, after a pause, there was a crack on the mountain not far from the pool. It was not caused by the cave or the change of the earth’s crust. The inside was dark. , Seems to lead to the interior of the mountain.Cheng Lin moved in his heart, walked over, sighed lightly with his right hand, and a wind blew away the branches beside the cave.

“Pop!” With a snap of his fingers, Cheng Lin summoned “Fire Falling” and threw it straight into the cave. With the flash of fire, he accidentally caught a strange sight.

“Huh.” Cheng Lin raised his eyebrows, walked over, flipped his hand and took out a tactical flashlight from the storage ring-although the perception ability can be enabled to see the situation inside, it is not intuitive after all.

brush……

The bright beam of light struck out, like a sharp sword, penetrating the darkness, and Cheng Lin stepped in.

At first, the crevice of the mountain was very rough, as if it split naturally, but when he jumped and walked down a distance, he found that the mountain was hollowed out, and there was a huge space like an abyss underneath.

“It should be a change in the earth’s crust, which caused a hole in the top of the mountain. I am currently located on the top of the mountain’s belly. If I want to go down, I probably can’t find a way.”

Cheng Lin analyzed it in his mind, summoning the Hejian and Yujian, hovering and flying down from the narrow gap. I don’t know how long it took before he finally landed on the ground. With the help of light, he saw the roughness. Stone steps.

“This is a trace of human existence.” Cheng Lin nodded, looked around with interest, and found that there were ashes-like ruins on both sides of the stone steps.

There seemed to be many things placed here, but under the influence of time, it was already dilapidated and unrecognizable.

“Dang Cang…” While walking, Cheng Lin suddenly kicked something, he took possession of it and picked it up, and unexpectedly found that it was a rusty spoon.

“This space is probably one of the places where people live in the catastrophic era. Well, I’m not sure about the times. I don’t know whether it was at the time of that incident, when people moved into the ground, or when the thin air caused mass extinction. …”

Cheng Lin tried a little harder, and the rusty spoon broke. He could only shake his head helplessly, and proceeded, while observing around.

He should have been underground by this time. Cheng Lin walked around and found more and more iron and steel residues, as well as ceramics, which can survive a long time.

Among them, the ones that caught his attention most were a few huge, rusty machines. They were huge and evenly distributed on both sides of a channel similar to a “river channel.”

The so-called “river course” was judged by Cheng Lin based on its shape and the residual river sand inside.

“I don’t know if it’s an underground river or a relatively shallow surface river.” Cheng Lin squatted next to a machine, shone it with a flashlight, and then stretched out his hand to pat it fiercely. The rust and dust cracked.

When Cheng Lin observed carefully, he actually saw some information. The remaining structures on these machines looked like switches and knobs, while the ports on the side vaguely meant that they seemed to have passed through cables and rivers. Connected.

After using it for a while, Cheng Lin finally found a piece of copper that looked relatively intact, and used Mental Energy to try his best to identify the blurred writing on it: “Electric…Solution…”

electrolysis?

Cheng Lin was startled slightly, and immediately realized what kind of machine it was. It was clearly a supporting instrument for electrolyzed water, and what would electrolyzed water make? Naturally oxygen!

“This is the equipment used by people in the age of catastrophe to make oxygen?”

“Yes, at that time, the world’s air was quickly pulled away to a point where it was almost impossible to support human survival. The atmosphere was destroyed and the oceans were evaporating, but after all, it could not be so fast. In addition to the self-repair of the earth, it can be guessed that during the disaster period, there is still no shortage of water on the earth, and the groundwater is protected from evaporation due to the isolation of the soil.

“The human beings hiding underground can completely use the remaining electrical equipment to dissolve water and produce oxygen. However, under the circumstances at the time, there must be very few power plants that can be passively used, and very little oxygen can be produced. This can only barely help. A few people survived the most difficult years.”

Cheng Lin silently squatted beside the dry river, sighed slightly, and put the piece of copper back in place, then got up and continued along the ancient river.

Not long after, he found more electrolysis equipment and metal “oxygen tanks” piled up in a corner in batches. Well, I believe that there will be more non-metal oxygen tanks, but they are already rotten.

Stop and go, Cheng Lin went deeper and deeper, and the road ahead was narrow and wide for a while.

Finally, when he reached the end of the river, the light of the tactical flashlight pierced the darkness and shone through. Cheng Lin’s relaxed expression suddenly tightened, and his pupils suddenly enlarged, as if he had seen an incredible sight.

“Crack, crack…”

In the darkness, there was a roar of unknown creatures from the ground.

Cheng Lin only saw that an extremely magnificent metal gate appeared at the end of the underground river in front of him. It had been sealed in dust for a long time, and inside the gate were piles of bones and corpses.

…

…

“careful!”

In the gloomy forest, the breeze is breezy, but there is a little fishy smell in the air.

A young man covered in armor waved the giant sword in his hand, and cut a strange creature that had been slaughtered from the grass into two with one sword.

In the fierce roar, part of the two severed corpses was still waving sharp claws. On the face resembling a large rat, there was still the flesh of unknown animals between the yellow and sharp teeth. .

“Iron-eater…” On the side, another similarly dressed warrior walked over and pressed the long sword in his hand to the mouth of the beast, and then saw it open its mouth and began to gnaw the sword body, metal and teeth. The friction made a harsh squeal.

“We must be more vigilant.” The tall young man who took the first shot shook the blood on the blade and said.

He is tall and well-proportioned, with dark-brown hair scattered in pieces, a three-dimensional face, gray and shiny eyes, youthful and calm.

The armor on his body was shining, and his chest was painted with a special emblem pattern, and it also marked the identity and blood of the lord and nobleman to which he belonged.

However, compared to the slightly complicated emblem, the most striking thing is the light patterns on his left and right forearms, and the three armors on his waist. The complexity is far greater than that of the family emblem, and it seems to be alive. Generally, a faint light flashes according to the rhythm of breathing, and a Spiritual Qi fluctuation is transmitted.

“Shirley, are you okay.” He opened his mouth and looked at the companion who was crouching in the front of the line, who was looking at the dirt.

It was a young woman, wearing a strange robe, walking in the forest, somewhat inconvenient, but if you look carefully, you will find that the cleanliness of her clothes is also in the forefront of the entire team.The girl named Shirley did not turn her head, but picked up a little dark soil with her right hand, and immediately picked up the stick that had been stuck on the ground with her free left hand, turned around, looked at the team members behind her, and said:

“Look at this soil, the metal elements in it are extremely rich, and I suspect that the ‘remains’ are nearby.”

“Oh?” Hearing her words, the whole team obviously got serious.

This team is not big. There are about a dozen people. Among them, there are only four members dressed like Shirley. The rest are men in armor. Their armor styles are uniform. They are obviously from the same territory. One of them is older. Of women’s eyes are slightly brighter after hearing this:

“It seems that we did not make a mistake. The ‘remains’ marked on the map should be on this mountain, further upstream.”

“I think so too,” Shirley nodded, scattered the soil in her hand, slapped it, and then gathered back the hair strands scattered from the hood. “So, we have to speed up, otherwise, I’m afraid I can’t go back down the mountain before dark.”

“It’s fine if you can’t go down the mountain. You can walk deep into the ruins. Rather than just finding a location, I want to bring back some of the relics of civilization before the catastrophe. “In the team, one carries a strange copper tube on his back. The young man said hehe.

“Wang Wang!” On the ground, a hunting dog with two heads in the team also barked at the same time, seeming to be responding.

“Okay, put your thoughts away, who knows what’s in the ruins? If it’s safe, if it’s dangerous, then we people may have no way or return. Remember, our task is to find It will then record its location, and go back to report to your Highness. As for the future development, you will have to wait for the large troops to come.”

The girl named Shirley seems to be quite popular in the team. This will be very serious. The rest of the people can only nodded and promised, “Well, we promise to complete the task.”

The two-headed dog also lowered its head with a groan, and its four ears drooped softly.

Shirley sighed helplessly, and turned to look at the young man dressed as the dark-brown warrior before: “Luen.”

She didn’t speak, the young man named “Lu En” laughed, took a big step, swept the sword wind with the long sword in her hand, and the mysterious rune on the armor lit up: “Okay, leave it to me, I’ll clear the way!”

After he finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the upper reaches of the dry river. The others also put away their smiles and walked forward seriously and seriously, while looking around vigilantly, guarding against possible dangers.

This is the southern end of the “Mainland”, a dark place that has never been explored by civilization, and an unknown land shrouded in countless years in the Cataclysm Era. No one dares to look down upon this place. This is the basic rule of every “exploring knight”.

“Look, here! There is a gate here!” Not long after, a group of people finally arrived at the entrance of the “Ruins”. The iron gate stood before everyone’s eyes.

“Sure enough, it is a relic! And it is a prehistoric relic of very high specifications!” someone shouted excitedly.

“Well, everyone spread out, looking for the opening mechanism, remember, don’t move if you find it!” Shirley took a deep breath and shouted.

The squad dispersed immediately and began searching around.

The young man with the two-headed dog shrugged and said, “Even if it is found, it will probably be broken. This is a prehistoric institution that has long been rusted to death.”

“Hush! Be quiet! Listen!” Suddenly the older woman in the team pricked her ears and shouted.

Everyone was taken aback, stopped, and listened carefully. Then, some people’s complexions slowly changed and became pale: “Voice…inside the door…it seems like there is a sound?!”
