In a small open-air camp, Cowper is shouldering the responsibility of the night watchman.

A group of them have experienced genetic enhancement and only need 2 hours of sleep a day to meet their physiological needs.

Cowper, on the other hand, silently looked through an old manuscript in his hand by the light of his flashlight.

This is a secret left to him by his father before his death. It records the exploration experience of an ancient ruins.

Cowper did not know when his father participated in such a private expedition, but as far as records are concerned, his father was the only one from this private expedition to return alive with this manuscript.

After that, his father went into hiding and rarely communicated with the outside world. Even Cowper rarely saw him.

But even so, an unusual fire still claimed his life, and all his inheritance was burned away, leaving only the manuscript that Cowper had been urged to carry with him.

Cowper felt that there was a huge and terrifying secret waiting for him to discover.

Putting the manuscript back in his arms, his keen senses suddenly noticed that something seemed to be approaching the camp.

He was suddenly alert and stared at a grassy field in the distance. With the extraordinary vision obtained after genetic enhancement, he clearly saw something stepping on the grass and gradually moved towards it.

"There's a situation!" Cowper immediately sounded the alarm, waking up everyone who was sleeping.

The professor took the lead and rolled to Cowper's side, lowering his body. He soon noticed the obviously abnormal marks on the grass, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Quick! Bring your things! Get ready to run!" After experiencing the giant spider, they no longer took all the anomalies on this planet lightly.

Even though they haven't seen anything yet, they still decided to leave here as soon as possible.

While escaping, the young man who always quarreled with Cowper couldn't help but ask: "What is that?"

"We can't see it with the naked eye at all. We can only notice it from the side through the trampled grass. This shows that it is at least optically completely invisible."

"And the alarms arranged in advance did not work, which shows that our existing detection methods cannot be effective on it."

"This is obviously a mysterious existence that has exceeded our technological level. Is it the indigenous inhabitants here? Or other alien visitors? Or is it an ancient unknown creation?"

Cowper quickly expressed his thoughts, and at the same time he had already imagined an alien creature that could be completely invisible.

The running professor is also thinking about existing possibilities based on his decades of experience, but none of them can match the current situation.

So he couldn't help but look back, and this sight made his heart beat violently.

However, they saw a mysterious thick black fog pouring out from all over the mountains and fields, sweeping towards them overwhelmingly, and in the black fog, some kind of terrifying unknown existence could be vaguely seen rolling and surging in it.

The well-informed old professor showed a rare expression of fear.

Life is always afraid of the unknown. If what appears in front of him is just some ferocious-looking animal, then he will not feel fear from the bottom of his heart at all.

After all, no matter how ugly it looks, it is still a living thing, organic and can be recognized.

But now this black fog that seems to be able to swallow everything is completely beyond his cognition. The old professor who has maintained a materialistic worldview all his life feels confused for the first time in a long time.

"Quick! We must find a place to hide!" He suddenly yelled without grace, his old face full of fear and ferocity. It was hard to imagine that an old professor would show such an expression.

The others were also startled by his strange behavior, and when they looked back, they all showed fear, wishing they could spend their entire lives escaping.

But how can you easily find a safe hiding place here?

In the end, everyone unanimously turned their attention to an ancient ruins not far away.

Countless wreckage and ruins were buried deep under the soil, and surrounded the giant building in the center.

It is like an upside-down pyramid, with the tip inserted into the earth and a passable door at the base.

The broad tower looks into the sky, not only like a platform for docking spaceships, but also like a beacon, waiting for the arrival of the guided person.

"——We can only go there! Even if there are more dangers inside the ruins, we must survive the present moment first!"

Everyone understood this truth and finally ran into the ruins before the black mist caught up with them.

The originally menacing black mist looked a little afraid of this place, and slowed down a lot in an instant, but it seemed unwilling to let them go, and was eager to enter the ruins.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, stepped up their pace, and finally quickly disappeared from the entrance of the ruins.

After hesitating for a long time and confirming that no one came out, the black mist slowly dissipated in the sky.

During this process, a figure stepped on the grass, starting from the feet, and emerged from the invisible state bit by bit.

This figure is a synthesizer equipped with "all-seeing invisibility" technology and approaches quietly, and his controller Li Wenyuan also expressed emotion:

"...Gee, this technology is really useful. I didn't expect to be able to create such a wide range of holographic projections. The living standards of people in that era were really unimaginable..."

Of course, what he said was not referring to "all-seeing invisibility", but a technology on another technology tree.

【Mobile Holographic Theater】

[Technology level: 3]

[Introduction: Popular holographic technology has pushed entertainment to a new level. At this point, everyone can create their own fantasy empire]

[Possible technologies: Planet Holographic Network (1.2%); Holographic Temple (0.9%); Mirror Universe Project (0%)]

The overwhelming black fog just now was actually an illusion created by projection.

It would be difficult to notice the abnormality of such a realistic projection without experiencing it in person. No wonder it easily scared away the aliens.

"This is the ruins they entered..."

Looking at the huge inverted pyramid, Li Wenyuan's eyes also shone with interest.

He has used synthetic humans to explore most of the ruins on the planet, and there are some extremely dangerous ruins among them.

The inverted pyramid in front of him was considered a relatively safe one. At least Li Wenyuan was not in danger inside, but he also couldn't find anything.

But he didn't believe that there was really nothing inside. He must have failed to find a suitable way to search for it.

If there is nothing in the ruins, can it still be called a ruins?

"Perhaps... these aliens can bring me a little surprise?" The synthetic man's eyes flashed, he turned invisible again, and then entered the ruins.
