Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 120 A Different Tower

The stone steps in front of the small temple had long been weathered and smoothed, making them so rounded that it was difficult to stand firmly. Lu Xian had no choice but to give up the stone steps and climb up from the edge of the wall.

This "wall" is the foundation of a small temple in the past. The edge is also a row of large stones made of the same material as the stone steps. Now the corners are rounded and no one can stand on it.

After Lu Xian jumped up, he stepped back, squatted down, asked Yao Wei to hand over the mechanical dog, and reached out to catch it.

After that, Yao Wei also jumped up, much more lightly than Lu Xian.

Lu Xian thought to himself that it seemed that these new humans were different in age and experience, and there were also differences. He, a new human who was only a little over a year old, could not compare to the old Yao Wei.

Look at Chai Xin, she is even worse. This girl can't jump up from such a high place, and she has no idea where to start if she wants to find a place to help her dig.

In the end, she had no choice but to use her hands and feet to climb up the stone steps by grabbing the gaps between them and grabbing the weeds.

Fortunately, she had become a new human being and was agile enough to climb the stone steps very quickly. At the beginning, she even ran up two steps, and finally Yao Wei reached out and pulled her up.

Lu Xian said: "You just need to wait downstairs."

Chai Xin smiled and said, "I want to come up and take a look, too."

She gradually became familiar with Lu Xian and Yao Wei, and realized that these two people were cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and were actually very easy to talk to.

——Of course, he is cold-hearted but warm-hearted only towards people he is familiar with. To ordinary people, he is cold-hearted but warm-handed. He will shoot and kill people if something goes wrong.

Fortunately, she is now an acquaintance.

Although they will soon part ways with each other, she is still grateful and happy about it.

As expected, Lu Xian and Yao Wei ignored her and turned to look at the dilapidated temple.

This small temple is indeed very small, with walls on three sides, and only the side facing the cliff has a small temple house.

The courtyard wall had completely collapsed, so it didn't matter whether there was a gap or not. The three of them stepped on the broken bricks on the ground and entered the yard. They saw the collapsed house that had been in disrepair for a long time at a glance.

Half of the wall collapsed and the roof came down, so that the statue of an unknown goddess in the temple was also smashed and the upper half of her body was missing.

Bricks and tiles were everywhere, and on top of them, there was no tower at all, only a three-section square cone lying crookedly.

The pillars are silver-white with a dusty coating, and appear to be made of some kind of metal. The bottom layer is as thick as a bowl and as tall as an adult's arm. The middle layer is as thick as a cup, but half the length. The top layer has completely turned into a square cone, which is half the height of the middle layer.

Lu Xian immediately understood that the so-called tower referred to this.

But what is the use of this tower?

Lu Xian couldn't figure out anything, so he said to Gouzi, "Gouzi, take a look. Is this tower still useful?"

The dog glanced at the tower, and a serious light shone in his eyes.

it works?!
This tower has collapsed, and it's clean and not connected to anything. What use is it?

Lu Xian didn't understand for a moment, and asked Gouzi: "Is this thing dangerous?"

The dog's eyes flashed twice again, indicating that there was no danger.

So Lu Xian went over and picked up the so-called "tower".

Not to mention, this "tower" is incredibly heavy. If it were him in the past, he would definitely not have been able to lift it, but now, lifting it is a piece of cake. There's a circle of things around the bottom edge of the tower that were originally used to hold it in place, indicating it was originally attached to the temple, but now that the temple has collapsed, nothing can hold it in place.

But this tower is just a metal tower and is not connected to anything. I don’t know what its use is.

Lu Xian checked it carefully and saw a line of small characters engraved on the bottom, which read: Launch Tower (Jianshan-Northwest Sphere-07).

What does it mean?
It's so confusing.

This thing also looks like a transmission tower, but a transmission tower like this can't possibly send out any strains. What's its purpose? Is it related to the transmission tower in Mengxin City?
And what do the numbers in the brackets above mean?
There is no doubt that Jianshan refers to Jianshan City, and 07 should be a simple numerical designation, but what does the "Northwest Ball" in the middle refer to?
Lu Xian studied it for a long time but couldn't understand it. Yao Wei also came over to take a look, but she couldn't understand anything either.

Chai Xin joined in the fun, and the result is obvious.

"Let's see if there's anything else first, then take this to ask Old Tree."

Lu Xian didn't have any good ideas, so he could only say this.

So the three of them searched the temple for a long time but found nothing. They could only jump off the wall with the Jianshan Northwest Ball 07 Launch Tower and go look for the old tree.

When we got to the back of the temple, the old tree was still soaking in the pit.

He no longer held his breath in the water. Instead, he sat on the edge of the pit, draped his two skinny arms, which were covered with green liquid, over the shore, and soaked in the water comfortably, as if he were soaking in a hot spring.

But when I got closer, I saw that the "hot spring" was green and felt a bit abstract.

The old man had been enjoying himself with his eyes closed, but when he heard footsteps approaching, he quickly opened his eyes and saw Lu Xian and the other two. He grinned and said, "Brother, sister, and little girl, please wait a moment.

"My head is already soaked, but there's a little more on my body, so I need to soak it for a while longer."

Lu Xian said: "It's okay, you continue to soak, I just want to ask you, what is this for?"

As he spoke, he showed the metal cone tower to the old tree.

The old tree looked confused: "This? What is this? I don't know."

Lu Xian thought that the old man might be confused again, so he tried his best to guide him: "Uncle, look, it's written here, the launch tower, Jianshan Northwest Ball 07, it should have been on the top of the temple.

"This is a transmission tower. Didn't you say you came here to guard this tower?"

"Ah... let me think about it..."

The old tree stared at the tower in Lu Xian's hand and recalled it carefully. After a long while, he said, "Ah... I seem to remember that this was originally installed on the top of the temple. It didn't exist before, and it was installed later. I don't know when it was installed.

"So you asked me to come here just to guard this thing? I didn't even know that. The temple was later closed, so I could only watch from outside, and even sleep in a tent when I was on duty at night..."

Lu Xian remembered something and asked, "Uncle, when you came here to guard, wasn't there a cold disaster? How dare you live in a tent?"

The old tree grinned, "It's okay. We've grown fungi, so we can handle it. When the cold weather hit, we had to heat our homes at first, but later on, that wasn't possible anymore."

"The weather was getting colder and colder. We couldn't leave the house or we would freeze to death. We couldn't turn on the heating either. Then one day, someone said there was a fungus that could survive if we planted it. It could survive hunger and cold, so we all started planting it.

"It's just this thing. I can carry it, but it's uncomfortable to carry it alive. It's too hard to live! Many people can't stand it and jump off the cliff."
