"Boom boom boom boom......"
In the pitch-black world, the Mammoth advanced forward, the gigantic roar of the engine echoing in the silent world, but...... there was nothing.
"To be honest, I’ve never seen a world so desolate."
Looking at the scene outside the window, Duanmu Huai couldn’t help but sigh, and everyone else nodded in agreent. They had been to apocalypse worlds before, like War Planet, Skynet Planet, Guardian Planet, and the strange Zombie World.
But strictly speaking, in these worlds, those facing extinction were almost exclusively humans; other animals and plants still thrived in those worlds. Even in Demon World, where the gate to Martian Hell was connected and nearly obliterated by demons, there were still plants and life.
For example, vines climbing on the battered skyscrapers, verdant lawns, and beasts roaming among the ruins...... At least these count as life, just without humans.
But here, it’s completely different.
Whether it’s because the clouds thoroughly blocked the sunlight, or if that great war back then really caused so problem, in summary, the entire land is dead, showing no signs of life. Whether animals or plants, as for those city ruins, after thousands of years of weathering, most of them are long gone, barely showing a foundation if their quality was good.
"To be honest, do you really plan to co back to this world? Why not listen to and switch to a different planet."
Duanmu Huai looked at Xiuleilia standing silently next to him, gazing out the window, and couldn’t help but complain.
If there’s life below, even if it’s mutated due to radiation, it shows at least the place still has surviving life. But in this ghostly place, they’ve traveled for several hours and haven’t seen anything that can be called alive; even the Bird Divination Tool is deathly silent, showing no signal response.
Even if this place is purified...... can it still be used? Duanmu Huai silently turned his head, looking at the nearby mountain --- in actuality, they weren’t mountains, but the uplifted surface due to tectonic shifts.
This is a result of the tectonic movent, who knows what chanical Religion used to cause this.
To be honest, Duanmu Huai had no hopes regarding this.
He’d suggest these folks consider relocating, as Dada Niel has atmospheric transformation devices, and even if there are no habitable planets nearby, they could create one, wouldn’t that be better?
A Casting World wrecked like this, much of what’s inside is probably beyond saving, and even hoping to salvage anything now seems like not even the warm dumpsters can be found; perhaps even if the Star God fragnts are real, they couldn’t be used anymore. Possibly, this world’s current state is the result of the Star God fragnts’ power.........
"Beep beep beep......!"
Just as Duanmu Huai was lost in thought, suddenly, the Bird Divination Tool emitted a crisp low chirping sound, and Maria, who had been staring at the Bird Divination Tool, brightened up.
"Radar has detected a life sign!"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Duanmu Huai instantly beca alert.
"Where is it?"
"Just five kiloters ahead of us, currently moving!"
"Great."
Duanmu Huai nodded in satisfaction and issued an order.
"Let’s see what it is, accelerate forward!"
"Boom boom boom boom!!!!"
The Mammoth accelerated again, moving forward, true to its na, the gigantic war vehicle charged forward like a massive mammoth, quickly reaching the destination, however..........
"There’s nothing here?"
Duanmu Huai looked at the radar, then around.
The Mammoth’s searchlights had been turned on completely, illuminating everywhere, even the sky was lit, but still, no signs of any living creature.
"It’s supposed to be here, right."
"Yes..... ah......"
"What’s wrong?"
"The signal shows the target is underground."
"Underground........"
Upon hearing Maria’s reply, Duanmu Huai frowned slightly.
"Approximately how deep?"
"150 ters, detection shows there should be an underground cavity below."
"So no surface life, it’s all gone underground? Well, that seems understandable."
To this, Duanmu Huai appeared calm, thinking about it, indeed, the surface environnt might be too harsh for life to survive, but underground, it’s not necessarily the sa.
"Alright."
Thinking this, Duanmu Huai gripped the War Hamr.
"So that’s it, let’s head underground for scouting."
"Going underground? How do we go down? There’s no entrance around here?"
"No need, just follow ...... Ann, Ogis, Lorena, co with . Maria, you with Sherry and Xiuleilia stay in the vehicle, always await my command, keep watch all around."
"Got it."
"Also, rember to wear Power Armor."
"Huh?!"
Upon hearing this, Ann was instantly displeased.
"Do I have to wear it? It’s so ugly."
"If you don’t wear it, don’t go, stay in the Mammoth how about that?"
"Ugh......"
Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, Ann’s montum weakened.
"Alright......"
Though instrunt detection showed the outside air could still sustain human survival, to be cautious, Duanmu Huai also had Lorena and Ann wear the Universe Armor from Star Union, at least this thing had a shield, resistant to blows, and was completely sealed in cosmic warfare style, not fearing any environntal issues right?
Of course, for Ann, she doesn’t like this ugly design, but Duanmu Huai doesn’t care. You either wear this, or wear the Tribunal’s power armor. Choose for yourself.
So eventually, Ann decided on the armor of the Star Union - at least it’s a bit better than the Tribunal’s tin can.
Soon, after changing equipnt, the group walked out of the Mammoth and proceeded to the nearby open ground.
"How do we get down now?"
Ann glanced around, then asked curiously.
"By the way, although my teleportation magic isn’t unusable, it’s very dangerous to teleport to unknown spaces, and the magic power flow here is sowhat turbulent. I’m not sure if it will succeed..."
"I wasn’t planning on using such a troubleso thod."
Hearing Ann’s words, Duanmu Huai swung the war hamr and then gripped it tightly.
"I have a simpler way."
"Huh?"
Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s response, the three of them simultaneously froze, then watched as Duanmu Huai raised the war hamr high.
"Wait... Knight, you wouldn’t...!"
"Boom!!!!"
In the midst of Ann’s scream, Duanmu Huai’s war hamr slamd heavily on the ground, and the next mont, the ground beneath them instantly cracked and shattered!
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"
The next mont, accompanied by the girls’ screams, the group plunged into the dark abyss of the cave!
".............."
Seeing this scene, Xiuleilia and Sherry were stunned, staring blankly out the window, then turned their heads to Maria.
"Miss Maria, the Great Judge made a hole in the ground and disappeared!"
"Yes, the Great Judge is like that."
Maria calmly looked at the Bird Divination Tool and said very composedly.
"You’ll get used to it."
"Uh.........."
Faced with Maria’s response, the two also exchanged bewildered looks.
To be honest, they felt they might never get used to this kind of operation...
If Ann and the others knew what Sherry and the others were thinking, they would certainly tell them - we’re not used to it either!
"Wowwwwww!!!!"
Under the influence of gravity, the group rapidly fell, and in almost no ti reached the underground. Fortunately, none of them were ordinary people, and upon recovering, they quickly ca up with various solutions - Lorena mimicked Ogis by grabbing Duanmu Huai’s power armor, while Ann swiftly raised her hands. Soon, accompanied by the magic circle erging above her head, a fierce whirlwind turned into a tornado, sweeping everyone inside, quickly nullifying their descent impact, and then placed them safely back on the ground.
"Huh......"
Ann finally let out a sigh of relief once her feet landed on stable ground.
"I completely forgot that the Knight loves to do stuff like this. Please tell us in advance next ti!"
"Sure, I’ll keep that in mind next ti."
"Really......."
Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s insincere response, Ann sighed helplessly and looked around.
"But it’s so dark here, I can’t see anything."
"That’s not an issue."
Duanmu Huai raised his left hand, pointed to the sky, and with a "bang," a dazzling flare illuminated the scene before them - revealing the still dilapidated platform and the collapsed building ruins below...
"Hmm, it looks like this used to be an underground factory or tro station or sothing."
Duanmu Huai glanced at the rail buried in the soil and quickly drew a conclusion.
"So where’s that life signal?"
"300 ters ahead... but before that, I found sothing more interesting."
While speaking, Duanmu Huai strode forward and then reached out to yank an object from behind the ruins.
That was......
"A person?"
"A dead person."
Duanmu Huai shook the corpse in his hand, and seeing this scene, the girls’ faces changed slightly.
"How did soone die? It couldn’t be from the hole made by you, Knight..."
"No way, look closely. This guy was torn apart by sothing."
While speaking, Duanmu Huai extended his hand and opened the other’s abdon—a gash running from the neck almost to the navel, completely split open. Just like Duanmu Huai said, the person died from a monster attack, but before that.......
"Huh? Are there any survivors below?"
Lorena exclaid in surprise at the corpse in front of her. Hearing her exclamation, Ann also froze montarily, then realized, indeed, they didn’t see anyone when walking on the surface for so long!
And this person apparently died not long ago, does that an.......
"Interesting, right."
Duanmu Huai put down the corpse in his hand and chuckled.
"Looks like we’ve found sothing fun."
Then he spoke.
