Hunter × Hunter: The Seven Deadly Sins

Chapter 496: Evolution of human x traces of life

Within a moment, twelve drones completed the map where they were at the moment, flew back, and each hovered around a piece of powered armor.

This is a huge ruins, with an extremely empty rectangular sunken platform in the middle, surrounded by a city wall, and outside the wall is a magnificent bridge that surrounds the entire ruins in a rectangular shape.

The bridge is entirely made of boulders. Unfortunately, many parts of the bridge have been damaged and are no longer complete.

Through the map of the ruins completed by the drone, Yilumi could see that many places in this ruins, like the bridge, had been destroyed by humans.

And the most important thing is that according to the terrain surveyed by the drone, there is a lot of water in this secret space, whether it is above their heads or under their feet.

Most of this huge ruins were soaked in water. What they were standing on now was the top part of the ruins that had not been submerged by a large amount of water.

"Set off!"

Yilumi looked at the completed ruins map in his personal terminal and ordered.

"Wait a minute, what should we do?" Seeing that Yilumi and the others were leaving, the man in camouflage uniform asked, "We don't have much fighting power anymore, and we have run out of bullets."

"You..." Yilumi turned around and looked at the remaining forty Meteor Street soldiers present. Seeing that they were in such a miserable state and had no fighting capacity, he waved his hand and said, "You can just go back."

"call out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yilumi jumped up high on the spot, flew over the ten-meter fracture surface, and landed on the opposite bridge.

Riley also jumped up, tapping her toes on the ground and bouncing slightly.

Immediately afterwards, twelve Albert team members came to the break. The second-generation power armor jumped easily to the opposite bridge.

"Boss, go this way."

An Albert team member put his arms across his chest, with a holographic map suspended above it, which showed that the bridge in front of them collapsed again for hundreds of meters, but a single stone pillar fell down on the left side of the bridge and rested on another passable road. On the bridge.

"Bang...bang..."

Twelve power armor soldiers stepped on the stone pillar, causing the stone pillar to shake. Fortunately, the collapsed stone pillar was three to four meters thick. Even if twelve power armor soldiers walked on it at the same time, it would only sway slightly.

"Buzz buzz..."

When a group of people passed by the stone pillar, twelve drones flew into the darkness below the stone pillar. If the monster below wanted to launch a surprise attack at this time, they would be killed by these drones on the spot.

Ilumi, Riley, and Kain were walking in the middle of the team.

While walking, Ilumi looked down, and her eyes turned into the cylindrical pupils of an owl, allowing her to see clearly in the dark.

"The pupils have turned into an owl. Does it have the ability to transform into various animals?"

Kain noticed the changes in Ilumi's pupils, and based on his previous encounters, he guessed in his mind.

At this time, Ilumi's attention was completely focused on the darkness beneath them. His eyes turned into owl pupils, and he finally saw everything below clearly.

"Crash..."

A sound of water flowed into his ears, and Yilumi turned around after hearing the sound. He saw a small gap in the city wall more than 20 meters to their right. The water that submerged the ruins flowed out of the gap, along the wall. The water flowed down, forming a waterfall.

Yilumi looked down along the small waterfall. First, there was a layer of hazy white mist. Through the white mist, below was the clear water surface as vast as the sea.

He could even see fish swimming by that were as big as an adult.

"Bang..."

The powered armor at the front jumped down from the collapsed stone pillar and stepped on the wall, making a dull stampede sound.

The three members of Ilumi and Albert's team members jumped off the stone pillar one after another.

"Buzz buzz..."

Twelve drones flew up from under the bridge and hovered above everyone.

"Don't you... use a flashlight?"

In the darkness, Kain asked.

Because he found that among the group of people, he was the only one who turned on a strong flashlight to illuminate the road, while the others were walking in the dark.

"We don't need that kind of thing." Riley put a smile on her face, took out a pair of goggles from her pocket, put them on her head, and said, "These are the latest tactical goggles, you can see even in the dark. Clean things up.”

While speaking, Riley reached out and lightly pressed the frame on the right side of the tactical eyepiece. A faint blue light immediately lit up on the tactical eyepiece. The darkness in Riley's field of vision was dispelled, and the shape of the object came into view clearly.

"The R\u0026D department has so many good things."

Riley proudly showed off that this tactical eyepiece was a personal equipment specially developed by the R\u0026D Department for members of the Explorer organization.

In addition to being able to see clearly at night, it is also a portable computer with good computing power that can assist the user in combat.

Whether it is locking, tracking, analysis, etc., it can be done. It is a simplified version of the Ranger neuromechanical helmet.

Each pair of tactical goggles is bound to the user's DNA and cannot be used by anyone but the user.

If someone were to forcefully activate it, it would explode.

"I'll put it on too." Yilumi also took out the tactical goggles and put them on, frowning and saying, "The owl's eyes are columnar. If you want to see things clearly, you must also change the eye structure."

"Although I can see clearly at night, it always gives me a headache."

Ilumi touched a small dot on the right frame of the mirror with his right hand. He pressed it lightly and activated the tactical eyepiece. The darkness in front of his eyes swept away, and everything in his field of vision became colorful, just like daylight.

Moreover, the tactical eyepiece is still analyzing and investigating the places where Yilumi's sight has been scanned. For a certain gap in the wall, the portable computer will capture and analyze it to determine whether it is natural destruction or man-made destruction, and what weapons were used for man-made destruction. Destructive, etc.

"There are a bunch of footprints here."

Yilumi's tactical eyepiece clearly captured a series of strange footprints 6.65 meters away from him. He stepped forward and observed carefully.

"According to the calculation analysis of the portable computer, the owners of these footprints are of the same species as the humanoid monsters we captured in Abistem."

Ilumi said that even though the computing power of the tactical eyepiece is only a simple version of the neuromechanical helmet, it is much better than the computers of this era.

By comparing the information in the central database with the footprints in front of you, you can come to a conclusion in just a moment.

"According to the research of Dr. Boyce from the Biotechnology R\u0026D Department of the headquarters, those humanoid monsters evolved from humans." Riley walked over to Ilumi and said, "Is it possible that this ancient dynasty still likes to play A living sacrifice?”

"Lock thousands of living people into tombs and die with the king?"

"Then we have to ask our temporary advisor." Ilumi stood up slowly, looked at Kain who said nothing, pointed to the ruins at his feet, and said: "You are not specialized in studying the Barahona Dynasty. ?"

"Did the Barahona Dynasty have a custom of burying people alive?"

"Do you think those monsters that appeared in Abistium last time evolved from ancient humans?"

Kain was very interested in the topic that Ilumi and Riley had just talked about. He walked up to them, squatted down, and shined a strong flashlight on a series of footprints on the ground, saying:

"The ancient books of the Barahona Dynasty do record the bad custom of burial with living people, but it is unheard of to bury thousands of people alive."

"Moreover, even if there are really so many people buried with them, can they really survive in such a difficult environment?" Kain looked up at Ilumi.

"Maybe, human beings' vitality is very tenacious." Yilumi said calmly: "Actually, if you could see the true situation in this ruins clearly, you might not think that they would not survive."

"The true situation?"

Kain frowned when he heard this. Indeed, it was pitch black inside. His strong flashlight could only find the surface, but he could not illuminate the space under the bridge or above his head. He knew nothing about those places.

"Boss, there is something discovered here."

Suddenly, the voice of an Albert team member rang out in the Ilumel headset. He turned around and saw a power armor soldier standing in the corner of a wall holding a Gauss rifle.

Ilumi and Riley walked away, followed closely by the other power armor soldiers.

Kain also quickly followed.

"Boss, there are signs of human activity here, and thatched houses have also been built."

An Albert team member stood in front of a thatched house. As he said, there were indeed many traces of human life here. Not only that, there were several clay pots placed in front of the thatched house.

In another corner of the wall a few meters away, there is another thatched house with several clay pots placed outside.

"According to AI analysis and investigation, some of these clay pots were used an hour ago." Team Albert reported: "This means that some of these humanoid monsters retain some Human habits."

"Do you want to keep human habits?" Kain walked up to a clay pot as high as his waist and shined a strong flashlight into it. He saw several small black fish in it and frowned slightly, saying: " This level is not just something that can be achieved by retaining habits.”

"It was used just an hour ago, but now it is nowhere to be seen." Kain stood up, looked at Ilumi, and said, "Could these monsters know that we are coming, so they are hiding."

"After all, we just fought a big battle with them."

"Hide them?" Yilumi raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Then let me see where they can hide!"

"Buzz~!"

The moment the words fell, an invisible barrier erupted from Ilumi's body, spreading in all directions, gradually wrapping up more buildings and spaces. It was the circle he released.

In an instant, a two-kilometer radius was covered by Ilumi's circle.

"Here comes the boss's super-large [circle]." The moment Ilumi released the circle, Riley grinned and said, "This might be the biggest circle in the world."
