Chapter 471: Ancient City Ruins

An hour after killing the wolf, the full moon was in the sky, and ten camels were walking on the quiet sand dunes.

Wolf meat is food, and at the request of Mofang, it was placed on the backs of the camels as reserve food. Mofang was originally planning to say that he should walk to reduce the weight of the camels and maintain their strength, but after looking at the three delicate greenhouse flowers, he decisively shut up and could only walk alone. The temperature in the desert at night is much lower than that during the day, and it is no longer so unbearable. This method of traveling is enough to save fresh water until the next water source is found.

Walking and stopping along the way, the three people kept using the positioning system to locate. Mofang was bored and simply stared at the moon in a daze. He had just come back from the top not long ago, and there were still footprints left there.

Looking at it, when Mofang inadvertently scanned the ground, he suddenly found some shadows and building outlines in the distance. Could it be the ruins of the city? Will there be a well? You should know that the first condition for human habitation in the past was to have enough water, so most of the cities in the Western Regions were built on underground rivers. The three people in the team had enough fresh water, but the three guys didn't know how to take care of camels, which made the ten camels a little tired. Finding fresh water is very important.

"There is a city ruin over there. Let's go see if there is fresh water. The camels are a little thirsty. Let's replenish grass and take a rest."

"Well... okay, let's go and have a look."

The camel team turned and walked slowly towards the ruins step by step.

There are many things buried under the vast desert, such as cities and oases, and the desert is moving. It is often unknown how many years later that the things buried underground will appear on the ground again, and it will not take long for them to be buried again under the movement of the desert, and the cycle repeats. The high temperature and dryness and sand dune burial also preserve the main body of the ancient buildings. Those who occasionally find treasures in the desert often encounter such ruins.

The closer you get, the more you can see the hugeness of the ruins. The outermost part is a discontinuous earth-yellow city wall. Unlike the Central Plains, most of the city walls here are made of local materials, such as loess, glutinous rice paste, lime, etc., and are made of bricks. After countless years of wind and sand, only ruins are left, casting shadows in the moonlight. There are all kinds of messy architectural relics in the city. Incredibly, a few houses have not collapsed, with rough wooden beams and mud walls. Mofang only hopes that the well will not be buried by sand.

"It's really unimaginable..."

Another thin girl said in amazement.

"Don't imagine it. In a few years, those big cities in the mainland will be no different from this one. They will all become historical relics. Oh, no, they should become the Mayan civilization ruins in the rainforest."

"…………"

The three people were a little depressed by the words of the magic cube. They finally got in a good mood, but they were slapped back with a slap. Can they still speak straight and mean it? Don't they know that morale is very important in such a harsh environment as the desert? However, the three people couldn't refute this. The population has been greatly reduced and the city has been occupied by zombies and mutant animals. Think about the city full of plants and wild animals everywhere. It really looks a bit like those rainforest ruins.

Wandering into the ruins, the magic cube tried to lead the camel caravan to walk on a street.

The invisible detection wave spread in all directions. The Cube needed to find a well to get water. When the wave passed over the three people behind, the girl leading the team suddenly frowned and looked around, wondering if she had just had an illusion or if something was really scanning her...

Lucky was pretty good. In a big house in the distance, the Cube found thick water vapor, which must be a well, so he led the camel straight to the big house.

Walking in the dark ruins on both sides felt like walking in a cemetery. The three rookies were so scared that they rode on camels and were alert everywhere, especially the girl leading the team. The mysterious wave just disappeared again, which made her very nervous.

When he walked to the big house, the Cube found that the wooden door of the broken house was not rotten. It might be a building like a temple in the past, so it was built very solidly. When he came to the wooden door, he habitually raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Bang bang bang~

"Is anyone home?"

The leading girl rolled her eyes behind him. Could it be any more boring? You are playing this trick in the dark and ancient ruins in the middle of the night. Aren't you afraid of someone answering?

"Who are you?"

Ka! The Rubik's Cube almost crashed.

Bang! Xiaobin fell off the camel's back and hurriedly took out his assault rifle and aimed at the wooden door. The other two girls were also scared and their hearts were beating fast.

The scan just now didn't find anyone? What a weird thing! No wonder the scan just now seemed to show that there was something blurry inside. It turned out to be a person. If it was a person, why couldn't it be scanned? You know, your scanning equipment can even scan ghosts. Did you meet a master?

Aiming the gun at the wooden door, the Rubik's Cube planned to go in and take a look.

"You...are you a human or a ghost..." Xiaobin shouted loudly, with a tremor in his tone.

This time, the Rubik's Cube changed its detection method to infrared. The mechanical eye flickered slightly, and the picture changed. Sure enough, there was a red humanoid object in the room, holding a weapon in his hand, which should be a shotgun.

Swish, the Rubik's Cube took out a strong flashlight from somewhere and shone it at the wooden door.

"Don't shoot! We just passed by and wanted to come in to find some water. Don't be impulsive, okay?" The female leader shouted loudly. Mofang also agreed with this view. In fact, he wanted to find out why the person inside blocked his previous detection. He had a vague intuition that the way this person avoided detection might be related to some kind of immortal cultivation.

The people in the house pondered for a while.

"Okay, but don't point your gun at me."

"No problem."

The female leader waved her hand, Xiaobin and another girl put away their guns, Mofang also put the pistol back into the holster and left only a flashlight. The four Mofang put away their weapons, but the guy inside was still holding the shotgun.

"We put down our guns, shouldn't you put down your gun too?"

The man inside was stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect to see that he was still holding a gun inside the wooden door. After thinking about it, he simply put away the shotgun. Seeing that this human was more sensible, Mofang nodded with satisfaction and took the lead to slowly push open the wooden door. The three rookies behind him also followed carefully in.

The moonlight shone through the big hole in the roof. The house was spacious, with dusty rough wood and yellow sand everywhere. There was no small thing at all, probably all of them were looted by the treasure hunters in the past.

Because it was cool at night, the three of them took off their scarves and veils. The beautiful appearance of the two girls surprised the man in the house, but fortunately no one looked at him too much. The magic cube thought that this guy could be saved for the time being.
