Apocalyptic starship

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. At Rubik's Cube's request, he put it on the back of the camel as a reserve food. Originally, Rubik's Cube was planning to say that the camel should walk to lighten its load and maintain its 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 during the day and is no longer unbearable. Traveling in this way can save fresh water until you find the next water source.

Walking and stopping along the way, the three of them kept using the positioning system to locate the Rubik's Cube. The Rubik's Cube was bored and just stared at the moon in a daze. Not long ago, he had just come back from it, and there were still brother's footprints there.

Looking at it, when Rubik's Cube inadvertently glanced at the ground, he suddenly found some black shadows and building outlines in the distance. Could they be city ruins? Will there be a well? You must know that in the past, the first condition for human settlement was sufficient water sources, so most cities in the Western Region were built on underground rivers. The remaining fresh water in the team was enough for the three people to drink, but the three guys didn't know how to take care of camels. The ten-humped camel was a little tired, and finding fresh water was very important.

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

"Then... okay, let's go over and take a look."

The camel team turned around 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 mobile. It is often unknown how many years later things buried underground will reappear on the ground, and it will not take long before they are moved by the desert. Buried, the cycle goes back and forth, and the high temperature, dryness and sand dune burial have also preserved the main body of 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 the intermittent khaki city wall. Unlike the Central Plains, most of the city walls here are made of local materials using loess and glutinous rice mortar lime. After the invasion, only the ruins of the walls are left, casting shadows in the moonlight. The city is full of various architectural ruins. Miraculously, a few houses have not collapsed, with thick wooden beams and mud walls. The Rubik's Cube only hopes that the wells will not be buried by the sand.

"It's really unimaginable..."

Another thin girl said in amazement.

"No need to imagine. In a few years, the big cities in the mainland will be no different from this one. They will all become historical relics. Oh, no, they should be similar to the Mayan civilization ruins in the tropical rain forest."

"…………"

The three of them were a little depressed by Rubik's Cube's words. They finally got into a good mood but were slapped back with a slap. Can they be more honest and honest again? Don't you know that morale is very important in a harsh environment like the desert? Okay, but the three people who said this couldn't refute it. The population had been greatly reduced and the city was occupied by zombies and mutated animals. Thinking about the city covered with plants and wild animals everywhere, it really looked a bit like those tropical rainforest ruins.

Wandering into the ruins, Rubik's Cube led the camel team as far as possible on a street.

The detection wave invisible to the naked eye spread in all directions, and the Rubik's Cube needed to find a well to get water. Just when the wave passed over the three people behind, the girl who led the team suddenly frowned and looked around, wondering whether she had just had an illusion or something. There is really something scanning me...

With good luck, the Rubik's Cube found strong water vapor in a big house in the distance. He thought it must be a well, so he led the camel and walked straight towards the big house.

Walking among the dark ruins on both sides felt like visiting a cemetery. The three rookies were so scared that they rode on camels and were vigilant, especially the leader girl. The mysterious wave just now disappeared again, which made her very nervous.

Walking to the big house, Rubik's Cube found that the wooden door of this broken house was not completely rotten. Maybe buildings like temples were built very strong in the past. When he came to the wooden door, he raised his hand and knocked on the door out of habit.

Bang bang bang~

"Is anyone home?"

The leader girl behind her rolled her eyes. Could it be any more boring? You're really not afraid of someone answering when you play this game in a gloomy ancient ruins in the middle of the night.

"Who are you?"

Click! Magic almost didn't crash.

Bang! Xiao Bin fell off the back of the camel, hurriedly took out his assault rifle and aimed it at the wooden door. The other two girls were also frightened to the point where their little hearts were pounding.

The scan just now didn't find anyone? It’s crazy! Hey! No wonder when I scanned it just now, it seemed that there was something vague inside that turned out to be a person. Why couldn't it be scanned out if it was a person? You know that your scanning equipment can even scan ghosts. Have you met a master?

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

"You...are you a human or a ghost...?" Xiao Bin shouted loudly, with a trembling tone in his voice.

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

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

"Don't shoot randomly! We are just passing by and want to come in to find some water. Please don't be impulsive, okay?" the female team leader shouted loudly. The Rubik's Cube also agreed with this view. In fact, she wanted to find out why the person inside blocked her previous detection. , I had a vague intuition that the way this person avoided detection was probably related to some cultivator.

The people in the house thought about it for a while.

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

"no problem."

The female leader waved her hand, Xiaobin and the other girl put away their firearms, Rubik's Cube also put the pistol back into its holster, leaving only a flashlight. Rubik's Cube and the other four put away their weapons, but the guy inside was still holding the shotgun.

"We put down our guns, should you put your guns down too?"

The man inside was stunned. He obviously didn't expect to see himself inside the wooden door still holding a gun. After thinking about it, he simply put away the shotgun. Seeing that this human being was more sensible, Rubik's Cube nodded with satisfaction and stepped forward to push it slowly. Opening the wooden door, the three rookies behind him also walked in cautiously.

The moonlight shines through the large hole in the roof, and the house is very spacious. It is full of dusty rough wood and yellow sand everywhere. There is not a single small thing. Most of them were plundered by those treasure hunters in the past.

Because of the cool night, the three of them took off their scarves and veils. The two girls' beautiful appearance surprised the men in the house, but fortunately there were no excessive looks. Rubik's Cube thought that there was no need to kill this guy for the time being.
