Chapter 197 Going to the Ruins
Early the next morning, the person in charge of the stronghold took the volunteers from the stronghold to the entrance of the underground tunnel outside the south gate.

The total number of volunteers from various departments adds up to about 80 people, and counting the staff of the stronghold itself, the total number of this expedition team has reached 100 people.

And just before the exploration, Gao Jian saw two old acquaintances Xing Xiong and Xiao Gang coming over, followed by two middle-aged men who looked burly and handsome, judging from Xing Xiong's attitude towards them Look, these two should be Xing Xiong's superiors.

Xing Xiong first chatted with the two superiors and the person in charge of the stronghold, and then went to read the survey report on the ruins. After finishing his busy work, he rushed towards Gao Jian.

After all, his niece Shi Jialu was still in the team, so Xing Xiong had to come over to say hello.

"Shi Jialu!" Xing Xiong came over and said with a smile, "How's your working life these days?"

"It's okay, it's not as boring as I imagined." Shi Jialu replied honestly, "The main thing is to follow Gao Jian to eat meat, and I eat very well every day..."

Xing Xiong laughed after hearing this, and stretched out his hands to pinch his niece's round face: "Gao Jian's cooking skills are really good, and he made my niece fat, look at this chubby little face..."

When Shi Jialu heard this, she quickly stared: "Don't talk nonsense! I'm not fat! I can't be fat!"

Xing Xiong curled his lips: "If you are fat, you are fat. Uncle still lies to you?"

"Cut! I don't believe it!" Shi Jialu attaches great importance to her appearance and does not allow others to say that she is fat.

After Xing Xiong said these two words, she became nervous. She quickly took out her mobile phone and looked in the mirror with the front camera. While looking in the mirror, she turned her head left and right to observe her face.

"Where's the fat? I'm not fat at all. I'm still pretty thin... A dead uncle knows how to scare people... I'm not fat..." Shi Jialu murmured to herself.

At this time, Xing Xiong turned to Gao Jian to chat with Cao Nanqing and the others, and didn't care whether Shi Jialu was really fat.

"Did you discover this ruin?" Xing Xiong asked casually.

Cao Nanqing replied: "Our development department discovered it together. The first to find the underground tunnel were two students from the High School Attached to the Normal School."

"Oh, that's it..." Xing Xiong nodded lightly, "I didn't expect such a magnificent building to exist in the forest, it's simply incredible."

After that, he suddenly looked around and said thoughtfully, "Eh? Good idea, I remember this area is the place where you and Xu Rongfang were besieged by awakened wolves last time we went to explore the wild?"

"Yes." Gao Jian nodded, "The place where we were besieged was at the bottom of the ruins... I was going to the bathroom at the bottom of the slope, and Xu Rongfang happened to run towards me from the direction of the ruins, and the awakening wolf followed her all the way. ..."

Speaking of this, Gao Jian asked a question: "Xing team, do you think Xu Rongfang found the ruins during the last exploration? The element replacement rate of those awakened wolves is much higher than the level of nearby animals. Shouldn't they Could it have been drilled out of the ruins?"

Hearing this question, Xing Xiong fell into deep thought, his brows were tightly frowned, apparently something was on his mind.

After a long time, he seemed to be talking to himself: "Could it be that what Xu Rongfang said is true? Could it be that she doesn't suffer from delusional disorder?"

But immediately he shook his head slightly and said in a low voice, "This is impossible!"

Cao Nanqing heard Xing Xiong ramble about some strange things, and immediately asked: "Captain Xing, what did sister Xu say after going back last time? What delusions?"

Xing Xiong didn't seem to want to discuss Xu Rongfang here, he glanced warily at the two superiors not far away, then shook his head and said: "It's nothing, let's stop talking about Xu Rongfang, let's get up and prepare for the ruins...in the ruins There should be some creatures with a high element replacement rate living there, so please be careful for a while."

Cao Nanqing nodded: "Okay."

What Xing Xiong was most worried about was actually Shi Jialu. After all, this girl was a bit off-line. He turned his head to look at Shi Jialu, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Shi Jialu, follow Gao Jian closely after a while, don't run around if you have nothing to do, and don't tell everyone Add confusion, understand?"

Shi Jialu was still obsessed with the topic of whether she was fat or not, she pinched her face and said to Xing Xiong, "Look, I'm not fat at all! I'm not fat at all! On the contrary, I've lost some weight ..."

Xing Xiong had black lines on his face, so he had no choice but to turn to Gao Jian and said, "Gao Jian, Shi Jialu is begging you."

Gao Jian shrugged: "I try to protect her as much as possible."

……

Soon the members of the relic exploration this time were assembled, and the two "superiors" who came with Xing Xiong and the others naturally walked to the front of the team. It seemed that the two of them were the main leaders of this operation. The person in charge of the development department is also under the jurisdiction of these two people.

At this time, a serious-looking bald head of the two stood up and said loudly: "Hello, explorers, let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhao Mingliang, and I am the director of the Urban Planning Bureau of Anning City, Yucheng. The initiator and first person in charge of the Outer Base Project, thank you all workers for your support and dedication to the construction of the base..."

Having said that, he turned and pointed at the other of the two, who was more burly with a beard, and said, "This is Cheng Wanli, the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau of Anning City, Yucheng, and he is mainly responsible for all security issues during the construction of the stronghold. "

The bearded Cheng Wanli nodded lightly and said, "Hi everyone."

Next, the big bald Zhao Mingliang went straight to the topic: "Yesterday, our expansion department discovered a relic here. It is preliminarily inferred that this relic is likely to be built by the prehistoric Blue Stars. Exploring the impact of this relic on the construction of strongholds, the expansion of human beings, Awakening the protection of animals is very important..."

"On a more profound level, exploring this relic can also allow humans to better understand Blue Star and this strange planet, so our mission today is very important..."

"Next, explorers need to show courage and skills to investigate this prehistoric building. Of course, we have conducted a detailed inspection of the environment before entering the ruins. There are no traps or poisonous gas in the ruins. The only It is worth noting that there may be a number of awakened animals living in the ruins, and they will be your biggest threat..."

"So everyone, please pay attention to safety and try not to act alone. After a while, we will enter the ruins in batches of ten people. Director Cheng and I will be the first to enter the ruins to open the way for everyone. The officials will follow at the end of the line, so please don’t be afraid.”

After speaking, Zhao Mingliang arranged for everyone to formally enter the ruins.

He and Chief Cheng, as well as some persons in charge of the stronghold, walked in the front and entered the ruins first.

This group of members has a high element replacement rate and strong survivability, which can ensure that no matter what emergencies they encounter in the ruins, they can be properly resolved and unnecessary casualties can be avoided.

Gao Jian, Cao Nanqing, and Zhang Ziyan are in the second echelon of the team. Although their element replacement rate is not as good as that of Zhao Mingliang and Cheng Wanli, who are socially awakened, their element replacement rate is among the best among volunteers. So you need to be at the forefront.

It was not the first time Gao Jian and Cao Nanqing entered the ruins soon, so there were no emotional fluctuations. The others were different, they were either overly excited or overly nervous.

Wen Zhan belongs to the hyperactive type, and he is already gearing up for it.

"Do you think there will be any magic weapons in the ruins? For example, what magical weapons left by the Blue Star civilization in ancient times, what Dinghaishenzhen, Fangtian painted halberd?"

Chen Tianmu was confused: "Why does Blue Star Civilization involve "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"

Zhang Ziyan was a little nervous, with cold sweat on her forehead and palms.

Gao Jian saw that she was not in the right mood, and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't panic, we will enter the ruins together with so many people, and our safety will definitely be guaranteed. You will follow us in a while, and there will be no danger."

"Okay, okay." Zhang Ziyan nodded obediently, while holding the hilt of the saber she was carrying.

Soon the first batch of explorers all entered the ruins, and they should have gone to the abdominal cavity of the "subway station".

At this time, the person in charge of the development department waved to Gao Jian and the group of volunteers, and shouted: "The second batch can go down!"

Gao Jian acted together with his teammates, and slowly walked into the underground passage along the dilapidated steps. Even though the tunnel was still dark and narrow after there were too many people, it was not as eerie as the night before. The teammates chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was lively. Invisibly reduced the horror atmosphere of the ruins.

Soon everyone came to the underground space of this abandoned subway station together, and several team members who had just arrived expressed their shock.

"so big!"

"It's so dark!"

"So deep!"

Then everyone began to speculate on why the Blue Stars built this kind of underground building, among which Zhang Ziyan's deduction was the most recognized.

"Could the Blue Star people who used to live here be a race that is afraid of the sun? They live in the dark and deep underground all year round, so they built such an underground space?"

Gao Jian and Cao Nanqing, who knew more about this underground space, were not in a hurry to express their opinions, because they knew that more secrets were actually hidden in the horizontal tunnel not far away.

Cao Nanqing pretended to look around, then jumped down the tunnel and turned out the railway tracks covered by mud.

"Look! There's a railroad track here!"

Chen Tianmu, Wen Zhan and the others quickly followed the sound and jumped down the tunnel following Cao Nanqing.

"There is really a section of railroad track. Is this an underground transportation system?"

"That is to say... is this tunnel used for running trains?"

These teammates, like Cao Nanqing, did not have the concept of the subway in their minds, so they were shocked and unbelievable when they saw this mode of transportation.

Just as everyone was immersed in surveying the railway tracks, Zhang Ziyan, who was in the team, suddenly said quietly: "Wait... Where are Director Zhao and Director Cheng? Where is the first team now? Why didn't you see them?"

After Zhang Ziyan said this, everyone realized this problem.

Zhao Mingliang and Cheng Wanli only entered the ruins 10 minutes earlier than the second batch. It stands to reason that they would not have traveled too far. Why did Gao Jian and the others never see the first batch of people since they entered the underground space?
"Strange..." Gao Jian squinted his eyes and stood up, looking into the depths of the tunnel, "Could it be that they have already entered the depths of the tunnel?"

Chen Tianmu took a breath: "Oh my god, is there something weird about this ruin? Did it swallow the first batch of explorers?"

As soon as Chen Tianmu said it, Wen Zhan became scared, and said with a pale face, "Damn, old Chen, don't scare me, I'm most afraid of such monsters..."

Gao Jian quickly waved his hands and said, "Everyone be quiet first, I'll listen to their movements..."

Wen Zhan and Chen Tianmu quickly quieted down, while Gao Jian pricked up his ears and listened to the depths of the tunnel.

Since they were in the downwind, the voices from the depths of the tunnel could be heard more clearly, and soon Gao Jian heard footsteps and whispers, which should be Zhao Mingliang, Cheng Wanli and the others.

"It's okay, they are all deep in the tunnel. They should have gone deeper into the ruins after exploring this area. They are not missing." Gao Jian quickly clarified.

Chen Tianmu patted his chest: "That's good, it scared me to death."

Wen Zhan's complexion also recovered a bit: "It scared me to death..."

Shi Jialu looked at the two boys from behind with a look of disgust: "You two are too timid, aren't you? I'm not afraid at all, you were so scared first..."

Cao Nanqing reassured: "What are you afraid of? With so many of us together, even if we encounter any monsters, we will get rid of them."

Zhang Ziyan stuck out her tongue: "That being said, I still hope that nothing supernatural happens..."

Everyone chatted for a while, and the teams behind had started to come down one after another. Gao Jian pointed to the depth of the tunnel and said, "Let's go forward too, and see what's ahead."

Everyone quickly agreed: "Okay."

So the second echelon, under the leadership of Gao Jian, went all the way along the tunnel, with mud and stones under their feet, and they could see the exposed rails from time to time.

However, after years of wind and rain, these rails have been severely weathered, and the surface is seriously damaged, and they can even be easily trampled.

After walking a few steps forward, the environment in the tunnel became more difficult. For some unknown reason, a thin layer of mist filled the deep tunnel.

The light of the flashlight appeared illusory and ethereal in the fog, and the visibility in front of them began to decline rapidly, which made Gao Jian and the others immediately vigilant, and their progress became slower.

"Why is it suddenly foggy?" Chen Tianmu frowned.

"Maybe it's because the humidity in the underground space is too high. Don't forget that there is a river not far away. There may be groundwater in this area..." Zhang Ziyan said.

At this moment, the tunnel forked in front, the road in front of them became two, and the expedition team was faced with a choice.

Gao Jian stopped and turned around to discuss with everyone: "Choose a road, where shall we go for exploration?"

Cao Nanqing suggested: "Why don't we choose the path taken by the two bureau chiefs?"

Chen Tianmu also had the same idea: "Listen to which road is occupied, let's go to that road, it's safer."

Gao Jian felt that what they said was right, so he pricked up his ears to listen to the voices in the two tunnels, but he was embarrassed after hearing this, because there were footsteps and whispers coming from both roads.

"There are people on both sides, maybe they split up?" Gao Jian said in a low voice.
