“Open?”Dudian was stunned.
Eureka was startled as he heard the mechanical voice. He pulled Dudian’s body back a few steps. He looked at the metal instrument with vigilance, “Who are you? Come out!”
The blonde woman and the other two were startled as they heard Dudian’s words. They pulled out their weapons and looked at the metal instrument. They didn’t expect that there was a “Person”hidden inside, it was simply terrifying!
“Person?”Dudian was stunned for a moment. He was amused but at the same time he was relieved. It seemed that these people didn’t understand English. It was good that they didn’t suspect him.
Buzz!
At this time, the ground under their feet suddenly shook. The dust on the surrounding walls rustled down.
“Not good, it’s an earthquake!”Eureka’s face slightly changed, and he hurriedly said, “This place is about to collapse, quickly leave…”before he could finish his words, he suddenly stopped and stared at the stone door in front of him with his mouth agape.
Rumble!
The Crack in the middle of the stone door slowly cracked open, and under the trembling sound of the ground, it gradually pulled open to both sides. Thick dust rolled out from under the stone door and pounced on the group, making their faces Dusty.
Whoosh!
The sound of wind suddenly came out from the stone door.
Soon, the stone door was completely gone. It shrank back into the wall on both sides. A large amount of stone chips fell off the wall.
The few of them raised their hands to protect their faces. They squinted their eyes and looked inside. The stone door was pitch black and there was no light. It looked like a black bloody mouth waiting for them to enter.
Eureka, the blonde woman and others were secretly shocked. They didn’t dare to move.
Dudian was completely shocked when he saw the door open. It was actually opened! Not to mention that there was still energy here. The opening of the door was too strange!
Could it be that the previous scan was not an iris scan?
However, he had been in his father’s research institute since young. He was very familiar with the iris scan and fingerprint scan. The previous scan was clearly an iris scan!
He couldn’t help but look at Eureka, the blonde woman and the others. They were nervous and vigilant. Their muscles were tense as if they were ready to fight with the previous ‘people’.
It didn’t seem like they were pretending.
He recalled the scene of the previous iris scan. Eureka stepped back while the blonde woman and the other two covered their heads. It seemed that… he was the only one who had been scanned.
“In other words, this is the first time they are here. Is it because of me that the door was opened?”Dudian was puzzled. Could it be that this place had something to do with him? But he had never been here before. He didn’t remember that there was such a thing buried underground.
According to the previous electronic voice, this place seemed to be called “Shelter”?
Was it a place built by the people of the old era to avoid disaster?
Dudian was puzzled. The thick fog gradually settled down and revealed the scene inside the stone door. Although it was dark but Dudian’s dark vision didn’t hinder him, there were dozens of human skeletons lying on the ground!
The skeletons seemed to have decayed. They were wrapped in the clothes of the old era. Surprisingly, these clothes were well preserved and not seriously eroded by the passage of time.
There were all kinds of clothes. There were dresses, jeans and shorts, long sleeves and so on.
Dudian was stunned. These clothes were ordinary clothes from the old era. Could it be that the corpses on the ground were ordinary people from the old era?
“Start the fire.”Eureka’s voice sounded.
The middle-aged man took out a torch from his backpack. He poured oil on it and lit it. The weak light of the torch immediately dispelled the darkness in front of them. The bones on the ground were reflected in their eyes.
Eureka’s eyes lit up as he looked at the metal instrument by the stone door. He thought that this should be the device to open the relic.
He turned to look at Dudian. He frowned. Did this kid accidentally touch it or did he already know the use of this device?
“I didn’t expect that this is the thing to open the relic. Brother Eureka, what kind of relic is this? Is there any treasure inside?”Dudian saw Eureka’s eyes, he asked.
Eureka’s eyes lit up when he heard Dudian’s words. He thought that even if this kid had a good relationship with her Highness Haisha, he might not know about the relic. After all.., it was a product of the old era more than three hundred years ago. Even Her Highness Haisha didn’t know about it, let alone him?
“I don’t know.”Eureka looked back at the dark relic. He looked at the middle-aged man who was holding a torch: “You, go ahead and light the way.”
The middle-aged man’s expression changed. He hurriedly said, “General, I’m not good at defense. I…”
“If I tell you to go, then go.”Eureka berated. Then, his tone softened a little, he said indifferently, “In my opinion, this should be a treasure ruin. If It’s a dangerous ruin with traps, we will be attacked when the door opens.”
The middle-aged man was slightly startled and could not help but have a thought. However, he was an experienced hunter after all and quickly suppressed his greed. He thought to himself, “In your opinion?”? “How can my life be a scapegoat for you with just a Guess?”?
“General, my perceptive ability is relatively weak. If I walk in front and encounter any danger, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sense it in advance. I’m afraid that I will harm everyone.”The middle-aged man changed the angle of interest and persuaded.
When Eureka heard his words, how could he not understand his thoughts? He snorted coldly and said, “I said, there’s no danger in here. If you continue to talk, I’ll directly throw you in!”
The middle-aged man’s expression was ugly. He knew that there was no way to change things. He secretly gritted his teeth, shouldered the burden and held the torch high. He slowly stepped into the ruins. Every step he took felt like he was stepping into a swamp of death, he would fall down at any time.
Crack!
Dudian’s boots broke the bones on the ground. The bones which had lost moisture were extremely fragile.
Dudian quietly followed in the middle of the team. He was a body away from Eureka. Although Eureka’s attitude towards him had always been calm and there was a task to protect him. But when the real danger came.., it was difficult to guarantee that he wouldn’t grab him and use him as a scapegoat.
To survive outside the giant wall, every step depended on wisdom.
Soon, all of them entered the ruins.
The middle-aged man stepped out of the pile of corpses at the entrance and slowly went deeper into the darkness in front of the torch.
Dudian used his dark vision to scan the surroundings when he entered the ruins. He found that there was an extremely spacious circular hall in the ruins. There were corpses everywhere on the ground, all of them were wearing the clothes of ordinary people from the old era.
In addition to the dozens of skeletons in front of the door, there were more corpses scattered around the circular hall. In some corners, there were more than hundreds of skeletons piled up like a mountain of corpses, they were wrapped in the clothes of the old era. They were lying there quietly. Their empty eyes were filled with loneliness.
There was an indescribable feeling in Dudian’s heart when he saw the corpses dressed in the clothes of the old era. It was like sadness or loneliness. The memories of the old era slowly appeared in front of his eyes. However, perhaps it was because he had been sealed for too long. He suddenly felt that the only thing that appeared in his mind was a vague steel jungle city.
And the faces of his father, mother, and sister.
Other than that, he felt that his impression of other things was somewhat blurry.
Was it because he had been away for too long that he had forgotten about it?
“Are these skeletons all humans from the old era? Why are there so many of them?”The blonde-haired woman looked at the skeletons around her. Among them, she saw some broken hands and half of the skeletons scattered on the ground, it was her first time seeing a group of skeletons from the old era. She felt a strong sense of shock.
“The bodies of these humans from the old era seem to be very fragile,”the young man on the other side said. He stepped on the ribs of one of the skeletons without any hesitation. He did not choose another place to step on. He did not care about the objects under his feet at all, “Even if they have died for 300 years, the bones are too pink. I heard that some of us with special abilities have died for more than 100 years. Their bones are as hard as steel. These skeletons are made of flour at most.”
“There are weak and strong people in any era. These should be the weak.”Eureka indifferently said. He looked around and frowned. It was too quiet inside. There was no sound. Could it be that.., there were no living things inside?
Dudian retracted his thoughts after hearing their words. He looked at the piles of bones around him. He was sure that this place was just a shelter built before the disaster. It could be seen from the bones on the ground, most of the bones were women and children. They were not valuable storage places for the weapons of the old era.
He was a bit disappointed but he didn’t feel too regretful. After all, if there were high-tech items from the old era and Eureka was there, he would have to hand them over to the Dragon Clan and fall into the hands of the inner wall, it would be a hindrance to his future.
“There seems to be a fight here.”
“There are many broken limbs and bones.”
The blonde woman and the other two said.
Dudian frowned. He had already noticed this point. It was obvious that these people were selected by the army and sent to this shelter. The fight here was mostly because of the food.
“Could it be that there is no way to open the door?”Dudian looked back at the two sides of the door but didn’t see the iris scanner. He couldn’t help but frown, they had to fight for food here. In other words, the people who sent the survivors were planning to wait for the disaster to end so that they could open the door from the outside.
The only use of this method was to prevent the people inside from opening the shelter and sacrificing everyone.
Soon, the middle-aged man held the torch and went deep into the center of the circular hall. At this time, Dudian passed by a pile of corpses. Because of the angle, he saw the outline of a door under the gap of the pile of corpses. From the height, it seemed to be about three meters.
His eyes focused and he quietly looked around. However, he used his peripheral vision to carefully look at the pile of corpses. Soon he found that it was not his illusion, there was indeed a door hidden under the pile of corpses.
He didn’t tell Eureka and the others about it. On the contrary, he planned to wait for the next time to secretly look at it. In any case, Eureka and the others wouldn’t be able to move it with the size of the ruins.
Although he didn’t know what was inside the door but since he had found the secret, he wouldn’t easily share it with others.
If there were treasures hidden inside, he would be killed!
“There is a black shadow over there. What is it?”Dudian immediately pointed to another place.
Eureka and the others were a bit nervous after hearing Dudian’s words. Especially the middle-aged man who was holding the torch in front of them. He swallowed his saliva and pointed the torch to the place where Dudian was pointing, they slowly approached the place but found that it was just a pile of corpses. They were relieved and a bit angry. However they resisted the urge to scold Dudian because of his unknown identity.
“This place is very big. There shouldn’t be any danger at the moment. Let’s light it first.”Eureka said.
Dudian secretly thought that it was not good. They might find the door if there was light.
The three of them immediately took out their torches and oil. They lit them and inserted them into the pile of corpses. Several torches and oil lamps lit up in the dark. The outline of the hall was illuminated.
“They are going to be found.”Dudian saw that the three of them were still lighting the new oil dish. He knew that the door would be exposed sooner or later. He sighed in his heart. It seemed that it was not his opportunity.
He didn’t force them. After all, it was inevitable.
Crack!
Suddenly, there were footsteps coming from the gate of the ruins. There was the sound of stones being kicked away.
Everyone was startled and looked back.
Dudian’s face changed as he saw three giant undeads coming from the gate of the ruins!
“Not good! They are giant undeads!”He shouted.
Eureka’s heart skipped a beat as he heard Dudian’s words. This kid’s perception was very strong! He saw three giant undeads coming from the ruins. He was shocked as he thought. How could there be three giant undeads here? Did they follow their smell?
“DAMN!”Eureka gritted his teeth: “Step Back!”
His body slightly crouched as he jumped out.
“Are they giant undeads?”The Blonde Woman and the other two quickly stepped back. They weren’t monsters that they could fight.
Dudian frowned as he stared at Eureka’s figure. He didn’t know if he could deal with the three giant undeads.
