ah--

Under the huge star gate, when this group of modern warriors dressed in different clothes climbed up from the ground and saw the world in front of them clearly, almost everyone was shocked.

Ahead, there is a vast world covered with weeds and dwarf trees!

The sun is in the west, and the light shines through the clouds on the earth, mountains, plains, and river valleys.

There seemed to be large crumbling buildings in the distance.

The slightly cold air blew towards my face, and unknown roars echoed from the distance. Although it had not yet been explored, a strange feeling that was different from "Earth" was so clear.

Almost everyone is clearly aware that they have entered a different world!

In contrast, on the Hua side, both Lu Yan, who led the team, and Li Tai and Jiang Yishan, all adapted to the current situation significantly faster.

The three of them exchanged glances with each other, and they were all a little relieved - at least the scene in front of them was much better than the fog last time.

"Everyone line up and gather! Be alert! Check the personnel!"

The next second, Lu Yan took the lead in occupying an open space and shouted in Chinese.

Only then did the teams from other countries come to their senses, and they also occupied their respective areas and called for manpower.

Helicopters can only carry a limited number of people at one time. Large countries with many people transport them in batches. As for some small countries, they join forces with each other and exist in the form of an alliance.

This can be seen from the division of teams around the star gate.

As people continued to pour out, not long after, a team of hundreds of people gathered on the wasteland outside the Star Gate.

Various languages ​​come together, making it extremely noisy.

Since they were all wearing the clothes of their respective organizations, it was not difficult to tell them apart. In addition, most of them had backpacks, firearms and other items hanging on their bodies, and some were carrying lightweight video equipment, but the difference can be seen here.

The firearms brought by the Chinese side are lighter and more cold weapons. After all, the warriors have not received corresponding training in marksmanship, and some teams are obviously composed of active soldiers.

This kind of person is called a "military warrior". His cultivation level is not high, but he is better because he is well-trained and his combat effectiveness is not weak after being equipped with weapons.

"Lu, is this the inside of the black box? What are you going to do next?" At this time? The white man leading the team next to him asked Lu Yan.

Although the teams from various countries came in together, they were independent of each other and had no leader. At this time, they all knew that Lu Yan and the others had exploration experience, so they all cautiously did not move, but looked over.

The idea is also very clear:

We don’t know anything anyway? It’s better to follow experienced people than to just try your luck.

Therefore, it seems that Lu Yan is the leader of this team.

The latter just smiled? Said:

"Who knows? Let's take a look."

After saying that, he didn't wait for the rest of the team, and took the lead to lead a team of more than thirty warriors forward - there was no fog, and the star gate this time was extraordinarily huge? There was no need to worry about not being able to find it back.

When the teams from other countries saw it, they followed suit one after another, and a large group of people immediately walked forward.

"Captain, should we collect plant specimens along the way?" someone in the team asked.

Lu Yan shook his head: "Don't worry about this, let's move forward? Be careful."

He has already seen it. There is nothing special about the plants here? Of course he doesn't like them.

In comparison, those vague buildings in the distance are obviously more valuable? Some teams will stop to collect some plants along the way, but soon they find that there are too many to collect, so they have to give up.

But it’s not that I didn’t find it:

"The plants here are very strange? There are very few trees? Even if there are some, they are very short." A foreign warrior said.

Yes, as far as the eye can see around, there are many kinds of strange grasses and shrubs, but there are few forests. Even if there are, the trees are relatively low and extremely dark in color.

Of course they don't know that this is because the Ice Age ended too quickly and the original plant system has not yet fully recovered.

After walking for a while, suddenly there was a commotion ahead, and someone exclaimed:

"City! Really a city!"

Occasionally accompanied by exclamations in different languages.

This caused the teams behind to rush forward.

And as everyone climbed up a hillside, the view suddenly became clearer!

I saw that the ground in front of me suddenly sank gently, appearing like a huge, smooth "basin", and in the middle of it was a city that had been abandoned for I don't know how many years!

The sun shone slantingly, illuminating the ruins of human industrial civilization. The whole picture was spectacular and desolate:

Brick and stone buildings, streets extending in all directions, some steel towers that have not yet completely rotted, collapsed windmills, weeds, and vines growing. Although it is dilapidated, it still maintains the appearance of a city.

It was as if...the group of people had arrived at the end of the world.

"What on earth is going on? Could it be that the civilization in the black box in the Pacific has also been destroyed?"

In front of the queue, a young girl named Jiang Man, one of the two leaders of the six groups and ranked third on the top 100 list, couldn't help but exclaimed.

His face was filled with unconcealable astonishment.

Next to him, the rest of the team also looked similar.

It was far away and could not see clearly before, but now I suddenly saw a city in ruins, and combined with the oasis, it was easy to make such conjectures.

"Could it be said that only when the civilization in the black box is destroyed can contact with the outside world be allowed?" Shen Xining, the leader of the fourth group, couldn't help but analyze:

"The oasis is a civilization after complete destruction. Captain Lu said that they saw a forest of steles in the Star Gate last time. They speculated that it was left by some civilization. The same is true in front of us. Is there an inevitable connection between them?"

Ranked seventh on the top 100 list and the only warrior from the Yangwu region among the top ten, Shen Xining has amazing potential and is extremely popular due to his appearance.

When he opened his mouth to analyze it, many people immediately agreed.

Jiang Yishan said calmly:

"I don't think so. Do you still remember the second "Civilization" short film on the Spiritual Network?"

"What do you mean..." Shen Xining, a tall man with a slender figure and short hair, raised his eyebrows.

Next to him, Li Taiping, who was in charge of the second team, said:

"Blizzard? President Jiang wants to say that there was a blizzard covering the entire world in the Civilization short film... Do you think the ruins of this city were left behind by that disaster?"

Jiang Yishan glanced at Li Tai approvingly and said with a smile:

"Indeed, according to existing clues, there is a high probability that the spiritual network is related to the opening of the black box door. Logically speaking, the owner of the spiritual network obviously consciously showed us that strange civilization...

The subsequent short film "Daily Life" vaguely revealed that they survived the cold disaster... I think there is a lot of information in this.

Of course, the main reason that prompted me to make my guess was the architectural style. Do you think that church looks familiar to you?"

As she said that, she pointed forward, and all the warriors also looked at it. Li Tai suddenly said in cooperation:

"This architectural style is vaguely similar to the one shown in the short film!"

Is there any?

Everyone in the team looked over blankly. In fact, it had been nearly a hundred years since the Great Ice Age ended. Many of the buildings here were completely unrecognizable. At least it was difficult to judge from such a distance.

But when the two of them sang together, it felt like...

"It's really a bit like it." A warrior said.

"Is it similar?"

"I feel like..."

For a moment, everyone was talking about it, but Shen Xining next to him was completely pushed aside, with an awkward yet polite smile on his face.

"Okay, don't make random guesses. Let's go in and take a look. Be careful of the danger."

At this time, teams from other countries had already taken the lead and looked like they wanted to explore first. Lu Yan immediately interrupted the discussion and led the team into the city quickly.

…

As hundreds of people stepped into this ruins, the feeling of vicissitudes of time became more intense.

The group of people did not disperse too far, and they were all walking along a dilapidated road. Weeds were constantly growing on the road, but some sections of the road were still smooth, reflecting a dark light similar to asphalt in the sun.

As they walked in, the exploration team became more and more surprised. The heavy ice and snow buried many things and destroyed many things, but the extremely cold weather also preserved a lot of history.

As if the past of the three kingdoms of the Northern Continent were frozen in that long cold night, Lin Tuo forcibly thawed it that day, and the earth returned to spring, but hundreds of years of precipitation cannot be changed overnight.

In fact, compared to the already warm southern continent, the northern continent has gradually returned to its current appearance in the past few decades.

It was badly damaged, but many things were preserved.

As people entered the city, some building signs, texts, abandoned locomotives, railroad tracks, rotten furniture inside houses with broken glass... were all revealed to people's eyes.

Seeing this, each team slowed down in a tacit understanding, turned on their cameras, and started recording.

Occasionally I encountered some small animals, but there was no danger.

Gradually, the tense nerves of the warriors gradually relaxed, and they were immersed in excavation and exploration of the ruined city.

No one noticed that just above their heads, several strange-looking birds appeared at some point, circling and overlooking the humans on the ground.

Occasionally, it makes a shrill and sharp sound.

What these birds also don't know is that in the higher sky, there is a pair of eyes that have traveled across dimensions and are staring with interest at this ruin buried in time on the northern continent.
To be continued...
