Rebirth of Bloody Romance

Chapter 163: Void City

Avril stared at Zhong Yuemin closely, her eyes full of worry. "Zhong Yuemin, how about letting me take you in?"

However, Zhong Yuemin stood straight like a statue. He shook his head without hesitation, and said firmly, "Avril, thank you for your kindness, but we can't go in."

Hearing this, Fatty Wang was immediately extremely anxious. He opened his eyes wide, almost popping out of their sockets, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Brother Zhong, why on earth is this happening? We have gone through so much trouble to get here! Why are you not letting us in now?"

Fatty Wang's voice was filled with confusion and loss, like a child who was originally full of expectations but suddenly suffered a heavy blow.

Professor Li frowned, his lips trembling slightly, and he said to Zhong Yuemin in a low and serious tone, "Xiao Zhong, you can't make the decision for us. You know, your mission is just to ensure our safety..."

Before he finished speaking, a burst of piercing gunfire rang through the sky, piercing the originally tense and oppressive atmosphere. Immediately afterwards, deafening explosions followed one after another.

Not long after, David and Paul rushed out of the ancient tomb, covered in dust. Avril hurried forward to find out what was going on.

Wu Jianjun's face was solemn and his brows were furrowed. He walked towards Zhong Yuemin with heavy steps, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.

Behind him, Fatty Wang looked curious and kept asking questions, but Wu Jianjun just shook his head and looked straight ahead.

"Old Wu, what's going on?" Zhong Yuemin's voice was low and calm, as if everything was under his control.

Wu Jianjun took a deep breath and frowned. "Zhong Yuemin, we may be in big trouble."

Zhong Yuemin's eyes fixed, as if these words had stirred up a thousand waves. "Did you see it clearly?" He spoke slowly, with a barely perceptible nervousness in his voice.

"Almost." Wu Jianjun answered briefly, but his eyes revealed deep worry.

Fatty Wang on the side couldn't hold back any longer. He hurried over with anxiety written all over his face. "Brother Zhong, Old Wu, what on earth are you two talking about? Can you please speak clearly and don't leave us little brothers confused?"

Zhong Yuemin retracted his gaze and turned around to face the two companions in front of him. His eyes were full of determination and resoluteness. "We may be involved in an unprecedented crisis. The opponent this time is not trivial."

Fatty Wang's eyes widened, his face filled with shock. "What? Crisis? Haven't we always been doing well?"

Wu Jianjun sighed and shook his head. "This time is different. The opponent's strength is far beyond our imagination, and they seem to have ulterior motives."

Zhong Yuemin nodded, his eyes swept across the two people's faces. "I know this news is very sudden for you, but we have to face the reality. Now, we need to make a decision."

Zhong Yuemin paused, as if giving the two people time to think. Then, Zhong Yuemin continued, "I suggest that we hold a meeting and invite everyone. We need to brainstorm and face this crisis together."

Fatty Wang and Wu Jianjun looked at each other and saw a resolute look in each other's eyes. They knew that this crisis was very serious, but as long as Zhong Yuemin was there, they had the confidence to get through it.

"it is good!"

Fatty Wang was the first to express his opinion. "Let's hold a meeting and let the minority obey the majority!"

Zhong Yuemin's eyes were like burning flames, fixed firmly on Avril who was approaching. He stopped involuntarily and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Avril, what happened? Why did these people suddenly start fighting?"

Avril also stopped, with an indescribable complex look in her eyes. She stared straight at Zhong Yuemin, with a questioning tone. "Zhong Yuemin, do you know something?"

Zhong Yuemin raised his lips slightly, shook his head gently, and responded with a smile, "Avril, your words are surprising. Who can compare with you in understanding the Gobi Desert?"

Avril was slightly stunned. What Zhong Yuemin said was indeed impeccable. However, she always had an inexplicable feeling in her heart that Zhong Yuemin was full of mystery, as if he could always keenly capture the subtleties that others could not perceive.

"Just now in that ancient tomb, those Japanese suddenly raised their guns and started shooting indiscriminately for some reason. They had no regard for the identity of the other party and even showed no mercy to their own people. Fortunately, Paul and David were walking behind, so they managed to escape." Avril frowned, recalling the thrilling scene just now.

Zhong Yuemin frowned, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.

Fatty Wang stood there, his brows furrowed, his eyes flickering with anxiety. "Brother Zhong, aren't we going to have a meeting? You're the only one missing."

Fatty Wang shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing in the empty Gobi Desert.

"coming."

"Avril, they have something to discuss with me, I'll go over first." Zhong Yuemin whispered to Avril.

"Can I listen in?" Avril blinked, her eyes flickering with curiosity. She knew that Zhong Yuemin was dealing with something important, but she was also eager to know more details.

"This is a bit..." Zhong Yuemin hesitated. The content of this meeting did not seem to involve any confidential information, so it would be okay to let Avril listen to it.

"Don't worry, I'll just listen and won't say anything." Seeing this, Avril immediately made a promise. Her voice was firm and soft, revealing an unquestionable determination.

Zhong Yuemin looked at Avril's serious expression, and his heart moved. He knew Avril's intelligence and keen insight very well, and her presence might bring him some unexpected inspiration.

"That's okay!"

Under the sunlight, Zhong Yuemin and Avril walked to the gathering area of ​​Professor Zhang and his team. Zheng Tong was squatting next to a huge gravel, holding an unknown ore in his hand, and asked Yuemin with a suspicious look on his face. "Hey! Brother, why did you call us all here? Is there any new discovery?"

Zhong Yuemin looked around at the people around him, his eyes passing over several professors and team members one by one. The faces of these people all revealed deep fatigue and confusion.

After a moment of silence, Zhong Yuemin finally spoke slowly. "Professor Zhang, Professor Li, Professor Tang, and all my teammates, I want to discuss the next itinerary with you. What do you think, should we continue to move forward or return the same way?"

Hearing this, Professor Zhang couldn't help but frown, as if he was a little caught off guard by this sudden question. He asked in a heavy tone, "Xiao Zhong, we have gone through so much hardship to get here, and now we are about to reach our destination. How can we give up halfway and turn back? Isn't the place ahead exactly what we have been looking for? Are we going to give up so easily?"

Professor Li nodded his head in agreement. "Yes, our mission has not yet been completed. If we return empty-handed, how can we report to our superiors? Moreover, we have endured so much hardship along the way, how can we just give up so easily..."

Everyone sat together, talking at once. The sunlight shone on their faces, reflecting the curiosity in their eyes.

Zhong Yuemin sat quietly aside, his eyes as deep as the sea, listening attentively to everyone's opinions and ideas.

When the noise gradually subsided and everyone quieted down, their eyes were all focused on Zhong Yuemin as if attracted by a magnet.

Everyone's face was filled with confusion and expectation, as if they were waiting for Zhong Yuemin to solve this mystery. Time passed by.

Finally, Zhong Yuemin broke the silence. His voice was deep and powerful, like an echo from a deep valley. "Old Wu, tell everyone about your discovery."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's attention instantly shifted to Wu Jianjun. Even Avril, who had been observing silently in the corner, could not suppress her curiosity and cast her eyes on this mysterious team member.

Wu Jianjun took a deep breath, as if trying to calm his nervousness. A trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he said softly, "In fact, from the first ancient tomb we explored, I felt something was wrong. The location, structure and surrounding environment of the ancient tomb all revealed an unusual atmosphere..." His words were slow and heavy, full of vigilance against unknown dangers.

"At the beginning, I naively thought that they were just ordinary ancient tombs. But as we explored deeper and deeper, I was shocked to find that this series of ancient tombs were not isolated from each other!"

Wu Jianjun stood up suddenly, walked towards the old map with firm and powerful steps, and stretched out his right index finger to draw several circles of different sizes but closely connected on it. "Please see, the scattered arrangement of these ancient tombs is not without any rules. Their arrangement actually shows a unique and incredible strange law. After repeatedly checking and comparing the terrain here, I found that these seemingly inconspicuous ancient tombs actually together form a large-scale and extremely complex mysterious formation!"

"Formation?" Professor Zhang's face was full of surprise, and he couldn't help but jump up from his seat. His incredulous expression seemed to silently question whether everything happening before his eyes was true and credible.

"Could it be that these ancient tombs were actually formed by an extremely large formation?"

"That's right." Wu Jianjun nodded in response, indicating that he fully agreed with Professor Zhang's questions and speculations.

"Not only that, according to my deduction, the original intention of setting up this formation does not seem to be to protect these ancient tombs. Instead, it seems to be used to seal or suppress some evil and strange things."

Wu Jianjun spoke in a low and suppressed tone, and the unknown fear contained in his voice was like an invisible pressure that came upon them, causing everyone present to panic and tremble all over.

"What are you suppressing?" Evelyn couldn't hold back her inner fear and curiosity anymore, and asked in a trembling voice, with a hint of fear in her words.

Wu Jianjun was silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his words. "I don't know what it is exactly yet." He spoke slowly, "But I am sure that there must be a huge secret hidden behind this formation. I'm afraid our expedition this time is not just as simple as looking for ancient ruins."

After listening to Wu Jianjun's words, the scene was silent. Everyone was immersed in their own thoughts, as if time had stopped flowing. After a long time, Zhong Yuemin finally broke the silence.

"This is really beyond our capabilities, and there is a high possibility that life will be in danger. So should we choose to move forward bravely or return the same way? Please discuss and make a decision together."

Professor Zhang frowned tightly, stared at Zhong Yuemin and asked, "Xiao Zhong, what do you think?"

"Professor Zhang, for the sake of everyone's safety, I think we should return along the same route we came."

At this time, Professor Li glanced at Zhong Yuemin and said in a firm tone, "Xiao Zhong, how can you be so cowardly? What we have to do is to eradicate all the evil spirits! No matter what difficulties and obstacles are ahead, we firmly believe that we can overcome them."

Facing Professor Li's rebuke, Zhong Yuemin smiled helplessly. He really didn't know how to respond, thinking: Could it be that those fearless people are just ignorant? But it seemed a bit inappropriate to say so. "Professor Li, you are right."
