Chapter 890 Mission Process, Suppressed Relics!

If you want to develop the infrastructure of the territory, as long as you can collect a steady stream of resources and have enough time to build.

It took only more than two months for the small Hope Village to develop into the current town size.

And these are only the results of the development of the village with only more than a thousand people.

Now that the population has soared to 10,000, the development speed is bound to be accelerated.

The only thing missing is more resources and time!

"Since we have found the location, go and gather people. We will set out tonight to open the ruins."

Su Mo gave a voice order, and Pei Shao also ran away. Both of them seemed a little impatient.

Of course, it is not surprising that they behaved like this.

In fact, this is the first time that the location of the ruins has been found in the more than ten days since he came back.

Su Mo thought that the location information of the underground ruins he obtained in the ruins was detailed enough.

Not only are there various reference objects, but even the distance from the reference objects is specific to the meters.

It is not a problem to find some and dig some before the next disaster comes.

But in fact,

A third-level Yan State ruins with a large number of engineering machinery.

According to the information collected, there is a small hill next to the ruins, and there is a crooked tree on the top of the hill.

Go 800 meters in the direction of the crooked tree and dig underground. You can dig to the entrance of the ruins about 20 meters.

Even if you can't find the crooked tree, it's not a big problem. There is a stream on the other side of the ruins.

Follow the most turbulent part of the stream to the south for about 1,500 meters, and you can also locate the specific location of the ruins.

With such a detailed positioning method, Su Mo thought he could open it with a 100% certainty.

But now, let alone finding the crooked tree, there is no trace of the barren mountain.

As for the stream, it is even more a fantasy. Who can tell where the stream will be formed in the future when the land is covered with ice and snow?

Another fourth-level Dongji civilization ruins excavated by Tianyuan Territory itself, which stores a lot of medicine preparation facilities.

The location of this relic is not located by landmarks, but by the most accurate coordinate method that is almost impossible to make mistakes.

But the truth is still cruel. The exploration team that followed the coordinates dug deep into the ground, and even dug a lot next to it.

The entrance to the ruins that should have appeared seemed to have disappeared, and there was no trace.

"Based on the current discovery, it is not enough to assert that the ruins were released from the game, and they are not fixed under the ground of the New World. We must explore more places."

Su Mo thought secretly in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a headache about the plan he had set before.

In the days since he came back, he has not officially held a coordination meeting on the future development of the territory, in order to open the nearby ruins before the disaster comes.

At that time, according to the things excavated, the development direction of Tianyuan Territory in the second half of the year will be formulated.

It's a pity that man's plans are not as good as God's plans. Now the ruins have disappeared and all plans have been disrupted.

If this ruins hadn't been discovered, I don't know how much of a headache it would be when the disaster warning came two days later.

"Moore, you come with me"

"Leave Oreo to watch the house."

Put on the equipment, go up to the second floor, and go to the ground with one man and one bear.

At six o'clock in the evening.

The expedition team of more than a hundred experts filed out along the west side of Tianyuan Territory, and their figures disappeared into the darkness.

Su Mo led the team personally, and everyone entered the territory of the Demon Soul Clan and crossed the line to the location of the adventurer's ruins.

The Empire of Light.

The scattered Western-style pointed pyramid houses are located on a piece of land wrapped in snow, like an ice and snow kingdom.

Black and gray bricks and tiles, decorations with a strong metal style, various modified people walking back and forth on the road making banging sounds, and big-bellied ladies sitting in mechanical carriages.

This is Patirojo, the center of the territory of the Empire of Light, and it is also a super gathering place ranked in the top ten of the territory during the previous disaster relief.

The imperial scouts in charge of patrolling, whose eyes have been transformed into metal prosthetic eyes with night vision, are standing on the outermost high wall of the city and scanning the surroundings in circles.

The city is noisy, and teams of soldiers transformed with heavy armor are marching in formation to maintain order.

In terms of current strength, the Empire of Light can undoubtedly be ranked in the top five.

This transformation method that combines the flesh and the machine makes them invincible at the current stage.

Even though the cost is high, many passing human caravans will choose to settle here.

The purpose is to try their luck in this city that never sleeps and see if they can get a chance to transform themselves.

At this time, the sky is almost dawn, and a faint halo rises in the sky.

Several strange birds fluttered up from the ground and landed on the city wall to comb their feathers.

Under the surveillance of the scouts on the city wall, a team of hundreds of people rushed on sleds not far from the earth.

The leader was making a strange gesture, as if he was gesturing to convey some information.

"It seems to be a human team?"

"The human team actually understands the friendly gestures of our empire?"

"How strange, how strange"

"X-X-Five, go respond to him and see if he knows other gestures.

The scouts who saw the gestures were a little curious, and the team leader pointed one person to the front and responded with the same gesture.

But it was a pity that the human seemed to know no other gestures for communication within the empire except this one.

"They seem to be going into the city?"

After a while of communication, the sled team was getting closer and closer to the city gate.

Cha Cha Wu put down his arm and turned his head in confusion.

"Let them in. They should be people who have been here before. Don't make a fuss." The captain coughed lightly and gave instructions.

If the other party also knows the gestures of other empires, then perhaps they will have to go forward and interrogate the other party where they learned it from and how many times they have been to Patirojo.

Or if the other party knows nothing and rushes over, then they will also have to interrogate the other party's intentions and identities.

In this situation, both sides are very relaxed and save a lot of trouble.

Soon, the sled team has arrived in front of the city gate, and no semi-mechanical soldiers come up to stop them.

"Director, their defense is really lax. What if we are carrying a bomb? Wouldn't it be blown up by him?" While dragging the sled on his body, Pei Shao sneaked a glance at the vicinity of the city wall.

"Blow up?" Su Mo was stunned and laughed.

"Don't think that Patirojo's defense is weak. In fact, you are being targeted by at least a dozen high-powered assault guns, believe it or not?"

"Targeted? How is that possible? I didn't see anyone aiming anywhere?" Pei Shao's frequency of sneaking glances increased, and he was puzzled after scanning back and forth.

Although the location of the adventurer's ruins is more than 300 kilometers away from Patirojo in a straight line, it is not within the territory of the Bright Empire, but if you want to excavate the ruins, you have to come here to buy some handy tools.

Everyone has been staying in the territory and has not been able to collect much information about the Bright Empire. Naturally, Pei Shao doesn't think that his director can know much information after going to the mountains.

"If you don't believe it, then look at the bulging bricks in the fourth section at the 25 direction in the upper right corner."

"Let me see."

Pei Shao raised his head and pretended to move his neck, but in fact his eyes were scanning the location described by Su Mo.

It doesn't matter if you don't look, but you will be shocked if you look.

Sure enough, on the wall made of light silver bricks, the fourth section of the raised bricks turned light black.

At the same time, a strong sense of threat also flowed out from the light black, which made people shudder.

"Although the Bright Empire has deviated from the upward development of the technology tree, it does not mean that they are not strong. At least for a long time in the future, their combat level will be significantly higher than other alien races."

"They have invested most of their research in real-time combat, which is related to the place where they existed before and their mission. In short, you can treat them as a super-high-level special operations team with 120% of our human combat strategy, 150% of tactical literacy, and 200% combat performance." Su Mo sighed slightly.

The Bright Empire in the ruins, even if it never received any support from the outer gods, did not fall on the front battlefield.

At that time, it relied on more than 100,000 modified people, plus the hundreds of thousands of modified alien races they subsequently transformed.

Even if humans gathered a group army of five million and fought several waves of hard battles, they could not gain any advantage.

Instead, they were forced to retreat their defenses and abandon their armor and weapons by the various special operations methods they used.

It was only after the missile system was built and had the ability to strike at long range that they destroyed the logistics transformation and repair points of the Bright Empire one by one, and gained the opportunity to win.

Now that the other party can still get support from the outer gods, Su Mo no longer dares to think about how much it will cost to bite off the Bright Empire.

At least in the next two years, we should keep a distance and be friendly to this "neighbor" who has some origins with humans.

Not long after, all the sled equipment was taken off and put away, and some people were assigned to wait not far outside the city.

Su Mo led a dozen people into the city and went straight to the only alchemy workshop in the city that sold items to the outside world.

This is a building that looks like a church. There is only a small door below to enter, and there is no sign.

It was around the end of the second year of the wasteland that humans first discovered that there was a different world inside after entering here.

Some weapons and equipment that were eliminated or replaced by the Empire of Light were sold inside.

Pushing the door and entering, there was a pungent smell of engine oil, and there were many black handprints on the wall.

In the dim light, a hunchbacked old man with a metal neck, messy hair and beard, wearing a gray leather coat, was sitting behind the table, smoking low-quality tobacco.

His left hand was placed on the table, transformed into a large mechanical claw, and was slightly opening and closing.

"Hello, I need six pairs of excavation magic hands, two geocentric beads, and if possible, a smoke bomb for suction"

"Huh? There are humans who know this?" The old man's yellow eyes lit up from the smoke, reading up and down like a scanner.

"Of course I know, respected Mr. Pepys Mitchell." Su Mo said in a deep voice.

"Sir?" The old man laughed, showing his yellow teeth: "It's been a long time since anyone wanted to call me sir, young human, you are very polite."

"You need these things, if I'm not mistaken, you want to dig for ruins?"

"Ruins, what do you mean?" Su Mo thought in his heart, but his face remained calm.

The information collected only said that this old man was not a bad person, and he had to give him enough respect in order to buy things.

As for the rest, he had to deal with it on the spot.

"The Digging Magic Hand can quickly dig up the ground, the Geocentric Bead can detect the metal reaction underground to determine the approximate shape, and the Obstruction Smoke Bomb can absorb all harmful poisonous gases. You won't tell me to take these three together to build a house, right?" The old man replied.

"I don't have the finished product you want. I only have some defective products that were damaged by others when they excavated the ruins and were repaired by me.

If you want cough cough"

"What price do I need to pay to buy it?" Su Mo asked directly.

The common currency in the Bright Empire is still gold coins and precious metals. Before coming here, he almost emptied all the small treasury of the territory. It must be enough to buy some defective products.

"Price is not a problem. I detected a strange high-energy metal reaction in you and the people you brought. If you can bring it to me," the old man's yellow eyes became brighter, and the frequency of scanning became faster and faster.

Following his line of sight, Su Mo turned his head and looked behind him, his eyes stopped on the flashlight powered by the energy stone hanging on Pei Shao's waist.

"Do you need it?" Su Mo frowned.

"I don't need much. As long as you can give me some research, I will give you all the tools you need, and I can also tell you some information about the ruins."

"Deal." Motioning Pei Shao to pick up the flashlight, Su Mo took out the thumb-sized energy stone behind him and agreed straightforwardly.

The secret of the KF energy stone has been spread in the ruins for many years, but no alien race has ever been able to crack it and apply it.

Not to mention that this old man wants to study it, even if the entire Bright Empire is stacked up to study it, it may not be able to study it out.

"Great!" Fei Zhua took the thrown energy stone fragments, Pepys grinned, and jumped off the counter.

After a while, six pairs of arm-length digging magic hands and three palm-sized metal balls were taken out by him.

"Young human, although I don't know where you found the ruins, I have to remind you that the ruins buried under this land are not just left by you humans. In the past full of disasters, countless alien races left their own tribal ruins."

"They are not dead, but sleeping in these ruins waiting for the door to be opened again and return to the sun."

"They don't need to follow the procedures, but the controller of this world has suppressed the possibility of self-recovery."

"They are the real exiles."

"The more ruins you find to open, the closer the world controller will let you get to these suppressed ruins, hehehehe"

Old man Pepys smiled strangely, as if he knew more things.

But as he stopped talking, Su Mo came back to his senses and a layer of fine cold sweat broke out all over his body.
