The expedition team climbed up along the narrow gaps in the walls. A few hours later, they were far away from the large group of darkness beasts that had landed at the beginning. They had arrived at the top of a towering mountain.
At this moment, there were only eleven people left in the expedition team. Carson had died in battle, and their best scout, Hellhound Arthur, had disappeared without a trace. In the past few hours, no one had received any news from Arthur.
Standing at the top of the mountain in the ruins, Han Lang looked down the mountain.
There was a large empty space in the distance, and there were countless darkness beasts lying on the ground. There were also many silver arc-shaped shields. Each of the shields was the entrance to a ruin. It was certain that the shields were some kind of advanced weapon that Han Lang and the others did not know about. They had the ability to superconduct and shoot lasers.
No one knew if the shields had always been there, or if they had been moved there after the ruin opened. In short, this strange ruin A43 was different from any ruin they had seen in the past. It was more dangerous.
"This place is like a military camp," Han Lang said to himself.
"What?" Berserk Lion Riley frowned and asked.
"I said this place is like a military camp for darkness beasts. Those shields are like turrets that prevent humans from entering. The number of darkness beasts inside the ruin is still increasing, and they are coming out of some spiral tunnels. If we want to find the factory that produces darkness beasts, we have to enter those spiral tunnels and face the darkness beasts that are coming out," Han Lang explained as he pointed into the distance.
It wasn't just Riley. Almost everyone saw Han Lang's right eye. It was a deep black color. Han Lang had relied on his Pupil of Darkness to discover the spiraling tunnel in the distance.
"We are more than three hundred kilometers away. Let's rest for fifteen minutes, then we will enter the next level of the ruin," Storm Ma Jingkong, as the leader, decided.
Han Lang thought about it. "Are we not going to wait for Arthur?"
Ma Jingkong curled his lips. "That old dog won't die even if we all die. Not only is he the best scout in the galaxy, but he is also the most unsociable. He must be looking for the gene factory alone. If he finds it, he will definitely come back to inform us."
Han Lang nodded and asked, "What did Carson mean by the Protector's prophecy before he died?"
Everyone was stunned, and their expressions turned gloomy.
Wu Yong said, "The Protector once predicted that the prehistoric civilization will return to the galaxy, and the humans living here will be extinct."
The short Nie Tian continued, "I didn't believe it at first, but recently, there have been frequent riots in the relics, and the difficulty of exploring the relics has increased by almost forty percent in a year. This is exactly the same as the Patron's prediction."
"First, the number of darkness beasts in the ruins will increase, and then these darkness beasts will spread throughout the Milky Way Galaxy, becoming the vanguard of the slaughter of humans. Then, the vanguard of the prehistoric civilization will arrive, and they will cooperate with the darkness beasts that are already wreaking havoc in the Milky Way Galaxy to continue wiping out humans. Finally, the army of the prehistoric civilization will arrive, and the Milky Way Galaxy will be forced to fight them. From then on, humans will be erased from the Milky Way Galaxy.
"Now that I think about it, this is the first phase of the Patron's prophecy. The Darkness Beast's rampage."
Han Lang could not believe his ears. If the Protector's prophecy came true, humanity would lose the Milky Way Galaxy. Most humans would die, and a few lucky humans would be forced to leave their homes.
The fate of the Milky Way Galaxy this time? The fate of mankind? The fate of Earth?
Ma Jingkong frowned and said in a deep voice, "Don't let your imagination run wild. A prophecy is a prophecy because it may not come true! The Patron himself said that the probability of the Milky Way Galaxy being destroyed within ten years is 82%. We still have an 18% chance!
"This time, we are here to use our own hands to nip this misfortune in the bud!
"Although the Milky Way Alliance is not perfect, and the politicians are always fighting for their own interests, politicians are politicians, and we are warriors! As warriors with superpowers, we will not ignore the disaster that befalls our home! This is the responsibility of a warrior! "
Everyone nodded slightly and did not say anything.
Through Han Lang's observation of everyone, he suddenly discovered something.
Han Lang hated the politicians of the Sali Empire to the core. He wanted to skin them alive and gnaw their bones!
However, other than the politicians, there were warriors in the Milky Way Galaxy. Compared to the politicians, the warriors' thinking was simple and did not understand much. If anyone wanted to occupy their home and harm their own people, the warriors would not agree.
Phew ~
Han Lang looked down the mountain. Carson's corpse was long gone. The large group of darkness beasts that surrounded him had also dispersed.
Without a doubt, Carson was a respectable warrior. It was said that he came from an ancient family in the Milky Way Galaxy and had noble blood flowing in his body. If he had not died in the ruins, Carson could have lived in a luxurious palace and enjoyed endless wealth and honor.
However, he died like an exhausted wild dog. He died alone and without dignity.
Looking at the place where Carson died, Han Lang thought of Pang Zuolin, the man who changed Han Lang's life and jumped down from the skyscraper with a bronze bull.
To some extent, Carson and Pang Zuolin were very similar. The only difference was that Pang Zuolin's goal in life was to protect Earth, while Carson hoped to protect the entire Milky Way.
"There are bad people everywhere, but there are also good people everywhere," Han Lang muttered to himself.
"It's time. Let's go to the spiral entrance that Han Lang mentioned." Ma Jingkong stood up and said, "Arthur is not here. Nie Tian, you will be the scout. Terry, you will be responsible for bringing up the rear."
.....
A few hours later, the expedition team finally passed through the endless group of beasts and arrived at the spiral tunnel that spiraled downward into the second level of the ruins.
Looking down from above, the spiral tunnel was like a stairway to hell. It was pitch black below, and the roars of darkness beasts could be heard from time to time.
Ma Jingkong nodded, and the group began to move down. At the same time, a large number of darkness beasts were climbing up from the second level of the ruins. Therefore, Han Lang and the rest had to be careful and stick close to the walls to avoid colliding with the darkness beasts.
The beasts did not pay much attention to them when they saw that there were still their own kind going down. However, they would often look at Han Lang and the rest curiously. Unfortunately, under the effects of the illusion and neutralization potion, Han Lang and the rest looked and smelled like their own kind. Therefore, they did not see through their disguise.
After another two hours, everyone was surprised to find that the upright Darkness Beasts had disappeared, and the spiraling tunnel had become empty. Following that, a rumbling sound came from the lower levels. The ground was shaking, and from time to time, rocks would fall from the rock walls.
Another ten minutes passed. Everyone finally understood why the ground was shaking. It was because a large group of four-legged darkness beasts that looked like bison were rushing up from the second level of the ruins!
They had sharp horns that looked like mammoth tusks. They were in the center of their heads, and their mouths were like leopards. Their bodies were as sturdy as bison, and their backs were covered with hard scales.
Rumble!
The darkness beasts that looked like bison were rushing toward Han Lang and the rest. Unlike the darkness beasts that were walking upright, the darkness bison did not have high intelligence. Moreover, they had a bad temper. Even among their own kind, they would fight from time to time.
Roar!
Two of the darkness bison bumped into each other. The weaker one was knocked into the abyss, and the roar that it let out before it fell to its death could be heard.
Han Lang and the rest were faced with a difficult situation. If they continued to go down, they would definitely collide with the darkness bison. They would even kill their own kind, let alone themselves.
Crack!
At this moment, the short leader, Nie Tian, suddenly released the barbs on the hands and feet of his combat suit. He then climbed up the wall like a gecko. The others followed suit, including Han Lang.
High-level combat suits could not only purify the air and gather water molecules, but they also had powerful additional functions. The barbs on the gloves and boots were used to help the warriors climb the rock walls. The barbs would be embedded into the rock, turning the warrior into a gecko.
Whoosh!
The eleven of them stuck close to the wall as they climbed. Not only did they not slow down, they actually increased their speed.
After all, they were all quasi-wargods or even wargods. Han Lang had to give it his all in order to keep up with the team's speed.
When they were about to reach the bottom, the surroundings brightened. The cold white light illuminated this strange underground world very clearly.
They saw that the second level of the ruins was actually a gene factory!
There was no concealment, no protection. One gene factory after another appeared in everyone's line of sight!
Those tanks filled with genetic growth fluid contained darkness beasts that were in the process of being formed. Once the darkness beasts were successfully nurtured, the water in the transparent tanks would immediately recede. The side door would be opened, and the darkness beasts would be pushed out of the tanks.
Ao ao ao ~
The darkness beasts that had just been processed would let out mournful roars. After determining the direction, they would charge toward the first level of the ruins, where a large group of beasts and the strange silver arc-shaped shield machines were located.
Everyone became incomparably excited. As long as they destroyed the gene factory, they would be able to stop the production of darkness beasts and prevent them from appearing endlessly!
As long as the number of darkness beasts was limited and not infinite, a powerful army formed by superpower warriors would have the ability to charge into the ruins and kill all these damnable darkness beasts!
In orbit outside the Iron Cross Galaxy, more than thirty of the most elite superpower legions from the Twelve Permanent Members were on standby. It was an invincible army!
"Charge! Blow up these gene factories! "Everyone was thinking this in their hearts.
Han Lang, on the other hand, was faintly worried. As someone who had entered the ruins twice and personally destroyed gene factories, Han Lang always felt that discovering the gene factories this way was a bit too simple.
The gene factories could explain the existence of the darkness beasts, but it could not explain those powerful arc-shaped shields. Who was it that set up those arc-shaped shields and used these weapons that nobody had seen before to attack?
Was it these darkness beasts?
Han Lang did not believe it. Darkness beasts did not have such high intelligence. They were merely products of genetic synthesis.
Han Lang really wanted to tell his worries to the others. However, he did not know how to transmit his voice using source energy. The moment he opened his mouth, he would be discovered by the darkness beasts. Hence, he could only hide his worries in his heart.
Ma Jingkong, who had an ugly horse-like face, had an excited expression on his face. He pointed at his spatial ring, as if hinting at something. The others also nodded their heads excitedly.
When Han Lang saw the item that Ma Jingkong took out from his spatial ring, he was slightly startled, and his gaze locked.
