Chapter 112 First Resist Konatsujo

Early the next morning, the weather in Summer Palace City was still fine.

As soon as Lin Huang got up, he received a notification from the alliance government.

"Recently, there has been a series of murders in No. 7B61 stronghold Xia Palace City, and the truth has been found out. The murderer is a mentally abnormal felon who escaped from Xia Palace Prison. A total of 15 people escaped, and 12 of them have been captured. The remaining three are still being pursued, please don't panic."

"In order to prevent criminals from escaping from the city, the four gates of the Summer Palace are now under martial law investigation, and everyone is requested to cooperate with the investigation. The city will also strengthen patrols, and a curfew will be enforced after 8 p.m. Please don't go out. If you have to go out for urgent matters, you can apply to the local government before 5 o’clock in the afternoon…”

"Sure enough, the truth was covered up..." Lin Huang raised his brows after reading it. The announcement from the alliance government showed that the matter was quite serious and had to be dealt with.

After having breakfast with Lin Xin, Lin Huang rode the Qinglin Wolf all the way to the west gate of the stronghold.

Lin Xin kept watching him disappear, and then followed Bai back to the hotel room.

At the west gate of the stronghold, the city guards were checking, and there were long queues to go out and enter.

In desperation, Lin Huang had no choice but to withdraw the Qinglin Wolf to line up.

I originally left the hotel at eight o'clock, but when I left the city gate, it was already close to ten o'clock.

After summoning the purple-eyed white eagle, it took less than ten minutes for Lin Huang to arrive at Xiaoxia City.

Xiaoxia City is a small D-level stronghold.

According to common sense, there should be no other strongholds at a location that is only more than 80 kilometers away from the B-level stronghold of Summer Palace City. Because the establishment of each stronghold requires a lot of resources, establishing a stronghold at such a close distance is a waste of resources.

However, due to the existence of the ruins of the Summer Palace, the alliance government still established a special stronghold here.

The initial purpose of establishing a stronghold was not to develop a tourist area, but for archaeological needs.

Before Xiaoxia City was established, there was a wild area near the ruins of the Summer Palace. The archaeologists have lived here for a long time, they are easily attacked by monsters, and it is inconvenient to need any resources. Every time they have to go back to the Summer Palace City, which is 80 kilometers away. Therefore, the Alliance Government simply spent a lot of money to build a small base around the ruins of the Summer Palace, which is the current Little Summer City.

Later, batches of archaeologists left, and basically everything that could be moved in the ruins of the Summer Palace was removed. The alliance government felt that it was a pity that the stronghold built with a lot of resources was abandoned like this, so it simply developed it into a tourist attraction.

The ruins of the Summer Palace itself are mysterious, and together with the propaganda of the Union government, it has really become a popular attraction.

With the popularity of the scenic spots and the geographical advantage of being very close to the Summer Palace, many people from other places have also relocated here to settle down. Coupled with the policy support of the alliance government, this small base has become more and more lively. .

Entering Xiaoxia City, Lin Huang thought that he had come to the wrong place, because the liveliness of this D-rank stronghold was no less than the domineering city of C-rank strongholds. I don't know whether it is because of the tourist attractions that lead to more tourists, or because it is relatively close to the Summer Palace.

After entering the city, Lin Huang summoned the Qinglin Wolf again, opened the map of the Emperor's Heart Ring, and quickly found the location of the summer palace ruins.

The hotel he booked the night before was less than a kilometer away near the south gate of the Summer Palace Ruins.

Following the map, Lin Huang quickly found the location of the hotel. He also found that the area of ​​Xiaoxiacheng is really not small, almost four or five of the size of Wulin Town, close to one-third of the domineering city.

When we got to the hotel, it was less than half past ten. Lin Huang originally thought that he was too early and could not check in. When he asked the front desk, he knew that he could check in.

The hotel is a small antique building with only five floors and no floating elevator.

After checking in at the front desk, Lin Huang stepped on the wooden stairs and went upstairs.

The stairs are a little old, and there is a creaking sound when you step on them, but they are cleaned very well.

Lin Huang's room was on the fifth floor, and the room number was 505. He went all the way to the fifth floor, only to find that there were only five rooms on the first floor. Except for the first floor, the entire hotel actually has only twenty rooms.

"Is it the off-season now?" Lin Huang felt a little surprised. It was during the summer vacation, so it stands to reason that there should be quite a lot of people traveling. A hotel with such a good location, with so few rooms, it was not fully occupied.

Opening the door and entering the room, the environment in the room was quite quiet, which made Lin Huang quite satisfied.

This room is a viewing room, and the balcony faces the direction of the Summer Palace ruins.

The site is submerged in the ground, and there are no higher houses around, standing on the balcony, just overlooking the part of the site under the protective layer.

Standing on the balcony and watching for a while, Lin Huang just went out. As soon as he went out, he met a young couple who checked into the room next to him.

Going down to the first floor, he saw the slightly fat middle-aged shop owner at the front desk, he said hello, "Boss, is it the off-season recently?"

"It's just the summer vacation these few days. People who come to travel will go to the Summer Palace City to play for a while before they come to our side, so the business is normal during this time. You come early, so there are free rooms. If you wait a little longer. After three or five days, it will not be easy for you to book a room with us." The shop owner explained with a smile.

"So that's how it is..." Lin Huang originally thought that the hotel's business was not doing well for other reasons, but after listening to the shop owner's explanation, it really made sense.

"Boss, I think this hotel has been open for some years, you should have been in this small summer city for a long time, right?" Lin Huang continued to greet each other again.

"I've been here for more than 20 years, and this hotel has been open for 18 years." The shop owner nodded with a smile.

"Then, about the ruins of the Summer Palace, are there any legends that we outsiders haven't heard of?" Lin Huang asked again, "Tell me about it."

"The ruins of the Summer Palace have always been mysterious, and there are really not many legends about it. However, I have been here for so many years, and I have heard one thing mentioned. If you are interested, you can also listen to it as a story, but it is more serious. No need."

Lin Huang nodded, and the shop owner told the story.

"It is said that in ancient times, a strong man known as the Xia Huang established an empire, and the ruins of the Xia Palace were his palace. His subjects numbered billions, and he was deeply loved by his subjects. One day, disaster struck. I don't know what happened. Overnight, the entire empire disappeared, and Emperor Xia and his palace also disappeared, as if they never existed... Of course, the legendary disappearing Xia Palace, whether it is the summer palace at the ruins, no one knows."

After listening to the store owner telling the story, Lin Huang was silent for a moment, then nodded quickly with satisfaction, "I really haven't heard of your story, are there any other stories?"

"No, everything else has been circulated on the Internet." The boss spread his hands and shook his head.

"Okay, then I'll go to the ruins. Thank you boss!" Lin Huang then turned around and left, walked out of the hotel entrance, and walked straight towards the south gate of the ruins not far away.
