I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

“That’s the way the ecology is here.”

"Every creature has its own place in this desert, and as long as it's not over-hunted, it can always continue."

Sitting on the camel bug, Shuangxin looked at the blue sky in front of him and said.

"I once had the opportunity to see records in city-state libraries and read information about human social life before the catastrophe. At that time, the whole world was filled with green trees, mountains, rivers, lakes, and plains. I can only understand these words from Learn from the records in words and pictures.”

"When I saw those records, I felt a little longing and a little heartbroken. What I longed for was such a beautiful world, but what hurt was that humans at that time didn't know how to cherish it and destroyed it all."

"That's why I want to study the insect swarms, find their weaknesses, and eliminate them completely."

After hearing Shuang Xin's words, Lu Tan remained silent.

The reason why the world of the wasteland has become like this may not really have much to do with what humans do. Foreign lands under the gaze of evil gods cannot escape misfortune, and no matter what humans do or do not do, it will not help.

It doesn't matter, it's all the same.

As for whether the wasteland can completely eliminate the insect swarm, Lu Jian doesn't know. Can this world finally rely on the efforts of researchers like Shuang Xin to finally eliminate the insect swarm, continue the desolate but vital present, or will it be completely devoured by the insect swarm? , squeezed dry, leaving only long stretches of yellow sand.

The four of them headed towards the location recorded on the map. About four days later, a small ruin appeared in their field of vision at the end of the horizon.

The ruins were much smaller than the cities Lu Jian had seen before. At a glance, they were probably only the size of a regular university campus, more like a facility than a city or a small town.

I don't know whether it is due to weathering, but there are no tall buildings or large open spaces in the ruins, only a series of low houses.

And unlike ordinary ruins, the houses here don't look too damaged, as if someone has been maintaining them.

Lu Jian's [True Sight] looked over, but due to lack of understanding, he could only use it as a telescope.

This sight made Lu Tran a little surprised.

Because those buildings have no windows and are completely surrounded by four walls. In reality, he has only seen such a configuration in some research institutes that need to be isolated.

"Where did you get the information about this location?"

Lu Tan couldn't help but ask.

"In the records in the library, some materials will record some special locations. The city-state will send people to investigate, and some of them are ruins."

The singer answered truthfully.

"The ruins look new and have problems."

Lu Tan reminded.

"Very new?"

Shuang Xin frowned and glanced at Lu Tan.

"I have very good eyesight and can see clearly. Look, those buildings have no windows and the walls are not damaged. They don't look like ruins at all."

Lu Tan pointed.

"Does anyone live?"

Setsuna guessed.

"Will there be anyone in a place like this?"

The singer felt something was wrong.

"I think it's unlikely. Maybe it's a swarm of insects."

Lu Tiao followed suit. He couldn't see a single insect at the moment, so he couldn't be sure.

"How about this, I run fast and I go to check the situation first?"

So, he made a suggestion to go and see it by himself first. If there is a swarm of insects, use cats to finish it. If there are no swarms of insects, you can search this weird place.

"I will go with you."

Frostheart said.

Lu Tan wanted to refuse, but after thinking about Shuang Xin's ability, he might be able to help when encountering a large number of insects, so he didn't refuse.

Singer and Setsuna stayed in the distance to guard, while Lu Jian and Shuangxin rode camel bugs to the edge of the ruins.

Observing closely, Lu Jian was more confident in his previous guess. The surface of the building was only covered with a light layer of sand and dust, and the signs of weathering were not obvious. In simple terms, there must be something taking care of it.

Another thing is that this ruin has walls.

Ordinary cities have open roads and will not build walls, but this is obviously not an ordinary urban building, but more like a demarcated area.

Although they could get in by climbing over the wall, Lu Tan and Shuang Xin still found the door.

The writing on the door is no longer legible and appears to have been damaged by fire.

Walking into the wall, the distribution of these buildings appears to be serious.

In his words, it is very much like those industrial parks or university towns in his world.

The specifications of the buildings are similar, and they exist in large areas. For example, the building near the gate is like an office hall, with only two floors and a spacious entrance.

The building a little further away is a four-story building without any windows.

Shuang Xin had just taken two steps and wanted to enter the office hall to investigate. Suddenly, there was a sound on the street.

She and Lu Tiao immediately crouched down and hid.

"It sounds familiar."

Lu Tiao looked around and saw a box moving slowly on the street covered with a layer of sand.

The box was cylindrical, only reaching the waist of an ordinary person, and had a metallic texture. The lower part, except for the tracks, was a constantly rotating wheel with brushes.

This is an advanced sweeping robot.

Lu Tuan wasn't sure if there was such a thing in his world. He had seen that kind of sweeper. It was like a miniature version of a sweeper. It made the sound of a running motor and swept the streets, making them clean.

The two of them watched the thing move slowly and away, silently.

"What's this?"

Frostheart asked. She had never seen such a thing before. It looked neither like a bug nor a living thing, but more like some kind of machine.

"you do not know?"

Lu Tiao asked subconsciously.

Since Shuang Xin has read the information before the destruction, it stands to reason that he should be able to think of something like a sweeping robot. Why is he so confused?

Or is it that the information she read did not mention such details?

Thinking of this, Lu Tan opened his mouth to explain.

"This is some kind of mechanical, self-acting artifact, usually used for cleaning."

He wasn't sure how far Shuang Xin's understanding of robots had reached, so he answered in the most understandable way possible.

"Man-made thing, are there other people living here?"

Shuangxin's eyes suddenly lit up.

Lu Tiao was not sure if there was anyone else here. He thought for a while and came to another sweeping robot.

The sweeping robot recognized the foreign object and stopped.

After a while, it bypassed the land and continued forward.

"It's pretty high-end."

Lu Jian felt that the technological level of this world before its destruction was probably a little higher than the world he lived in.

He and Shuang Xin walked into the service hall and saw a large table in the center of the hall. On the table was a set of miniature models, and the style of the model was consistent with the ruins.

Lu Jian saw the words on one side of the model that were exposed due to frequent cleaning.

"Future City Sales Department?"

Frostheart read these words.
