Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!
Chapter 160 Ruins
Li Ming sniffed and said evasively: "The name is not important, it is just a code name."
"Huh, I obviously don't remember." Feinana's face was a bit twitchy and she ignored him. .
Cecily blinked, then suddenly leaned over to his ear and said, "Little man, don't you owe some romantic debt?"
"Absolutely impossible." Li Ming said expressionlessly.
The captain of the Finana team was a middle-aged woman. She glanced at Li Ming without saying anything.
Each team prepared a star compass, and everyone began to explore outwards according to the compass pointers.
The gray fog blocked the view very much. Someone took out a high-power searchlight, but found that it had no effect. Ordinary light could hardly penetrate the fog.
Others took out flamethrowers and tried to use flames to disperse the fog, but with little effect.
"What kind of fog is this? It's so thick that even strong winds can't blow it away." A man murmured.
However, no one responded to him.
Everyone is on high alert, keeping an eye on all directions and ears in all directions to be prepared for dangers that may arise at any time.
After all, this is a four-star difficulty game, and no one dares to take it lightly.
The exploration team moved slowly in dullness. In ten minutes, they advanced about one kilometer.
But nothing happened, there was only desolation and silence ahead, and there was only the howling wind in my ears.
The surrounding scenery seemed to be frozen in an eternal moment, without a trace of life.
Li Ming felt a slight palpitation in his heart, but he didn't know where the feeling came from.
He observed Cecily, Xingmei, and the people next to them, and found that everyone's breathing was slightly faster, indicating that he was not the only one who felt this way.
A suffocating sense of depression gradually filled the air, as if some unknown terror was quietly approaching.
"Xingmei, have you found anything?" Li Ming asked in a low voice. His metal detection power had not stopped along the way, but he did not detect any abnormalities.
Xingmei let out a breath, shook her head and said, "No, and my abilities have been greatly suppressed, and the detection distance has been shortened to only about 500 meters. It may be due to the influence of the gray fog."
Li Ming nodded and said nothing more.
The team continued to move forward in dullness, each step seemed to step on everyone's hearts, and the sense of depression gradually increased as time went by.
Finally, someone couldn't help but cursed, "Damn, I hate this type of ghost games the most. It's so annoying!"
After saying that, he kicked half of the bones on the ground away. The bones drew an arc in the air and fell in the distance. Only a faint sound was heard.
Saulnier, the blue-haired man in front, glanced back at him, with a hint of warning in his tone, "Ergou, stop here."
Liu Ergou immediately put on a smiling face, and seemed a little afraid of Saunier, and said quickly: "Captain, don't mind, I'm feeling depressed, right? Just let me vent."
The others did not pay attention to the conversation between the two, and had been silently vigilant about their surroundings, not daring to relax at all.
At this moment, Xingmei's expression moved slightly, and she seemed to have discovered something.
Li Ming noticed something strange about her and asked quickly: "What's wrong? Did you find anything?"
He did not lower his voice deliberately, and Cecily and the surrounding crowd also glanced over.
Xingmei hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "There seem to be traces of artificial construction 400 meters to the left. They are very dilapidated and may be ruins."
Her words made everyone's eyes light up slightly, and they finally had some clues.
Li Ming looked at the other four captains with questioning eyes and said, "Would you like to go over and have a look?"
Saulnier, the blue-haired man, was the first to speak, "I think we should go take a look. What do you think?"
The other three captains looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Although going to the left will deviate from the original route, we finally made a new discovery, so we can't just ignore it. So what's the point of exploring?
The five captains quickly unified their opinions and decisively changed their route to explore in the direction of the suspected ruins.
Everyone became more cautious. Not only did the speed slow down a lot, but even the footsteps were almost inaudible, like a group of ghosts wandering in the mist.
A few minutes later, the ruins ahead gradually revealed their hazy outlines in the gray mist.
And everyone also discovered that there were more and more dead bones under their feet, some scattered on the ground, and some stacked on top of each other.
Although these white bones have been shattered into pieces, they can be barely recognized from their shapes. They are basically human bones.
With heavy hearts, everyone gradually came to the ruins.
The first thing that catches the eye is a nearly five-meter-high torch stand. It stands in the center of the ruins, strong and straight, like a symbol of hope.
But the flames above had long been extinguished, leaving only blackness and silence.
The surrounding walls were in dilapidated condition, exposing the masonry structure inside. Most of the walls had collapsed, forming irregular gaps.
Few of the blue stone bricks paved on the ground are intact, with cracks crisscrossing them, and in some places even the entire brick is warped or broken, as if it had gone through endless years.
However, the most shocking thing was the densely packed bones on the ground.
Most of them have been weathered or eroded, so that their original shapes cannot be seen. In the howling wind, they look particularly bleak and desolate.
"Are the owners of these...these bones all gamers?" Someone took a breath.
Soniel looked calm and replied calmly: "It's hard to say. If they are all gamers, it's hard to explain how the ruins were built."
After he finished speaking, he was the first to step over the collapsed stone wall, "Let's go in and take a look."
The area of the ruins is not large, only about a hundred square meters in total. Most of the ruins are very dilapidated, except for the torch stand in the middle that is intact.
It stands there, like a lighthouse in the dark night, which is particularly eye-catching.
Everyone's eyes were naturally drawn to the torch stand.
After a closer inspection, it was discovered that the torch platform seemed to be made of a dark green spar. The spar was polished to be extremely smooth, and its texture was also very tough, and even the biting cold wind could not corrode it.
There are some strange rune patterns carved on the crystal. Although they are not regular, they look like they have an indescribable mysterious beauty.
While most people were curiously wandering around the torch stand, Li Ming was suddenly startled. He and the other woman turned around and looked somewhere almost at the same time.
There had been three people gathering there to check the floor, but it was now empty.
"Someone is missing!" They were not the only ones to notice the abnormality, another man exclaimed loudly.
