The next morning, the weather in Xiagong City was still sunny.
As soon as Lin Huang woke up, he received a notice from the Coalition government.
"Recently, the truth of the serial murders in foothold No.7B61 in Xiagong City has been investigated. The murderer was a mentally ill felon who escaped from Xiagong Prison. There were a total of 15 escapees and 12 of them have been captured. The remaining three are still being pursued, please do not panic. "
"In order to prevent the criminals from escaping the city, the four gates of Xiagong City are now under martial law investigation. Please cooperate with the investigation. There will also be more patrols in the city and a curfew will be imposed after 8 pm. Please do not go out. If you have to go out for something urgent, you can apply to the local government before 5 pm … "
"They really covered up the truth …" Lin Huang raised his eyebrows. The notice from the Coalition government meant that the situation was serious and they had to deal with it.
After having breakfast with Lin Xin, Lin Huang rode on the Viridian Wolf and headed to the west gate of the foothold.
Lin Xin watched him leave and then followed Bai back to the hotel room.
When they arrived at the west gate of the foothold, the city guards were checking and there was a long queue.
Helplessly, Lin Huang recalled the Viridian Wolf and queued up.
He left the hotel around 8 am and it was almost 10 am when he left the city gate.
Summoning the Alexandrian Eagle, Lin Huang arrived at Xiaoxia City in less than 10 minutes.
Xiaoxia City was a D-grade small foothold.
Logically, there should not be any footholds that were only 80 kilometers away from the B-grade foothold, Xiagong City. Every foothold required a large amount of resources and it would be a waste of resources to build a foothold at such a close distance.
However, due to the existence of the Xiagong Ruins, the Coalition government decided to build a foothold there.
The purpose of building a foothold was not for tourism, but for the needs of archaeology.
Before Xiaoxia City was built, the area around the Xiagong Ruins was a wild area. Archaeologists lived there for a long time and it was easy for them to be attacked by monsters. Moreover, it was inconvenient for them to use resources as they had to return to Xiagong City which was 80 kilometers away. Therefore, the Coalition government decided to spend a lot of money to build a small foothold around the Xiagong Ruins, which was the current Xiaoxia City.
After that, batch after batch of archaeologists left the Xiagong Ruins and basically everything that could be moved away was moved away. The Coalition government felt that it was a pity to abandon the foothold after spending a lot of resources to build it. Therefore, they decided to develop it into a tourist attraction.
The Xiagong Ruins was a mysterious place and with the publicity from the Coalition government, it, it became a tourist attraction.
As the scenic spot became more popular and it was close to Xiagong City, many people from other places moved here. Coupled with the support from the Union Government, the foothold became more and more crowded.
Lin Huang thought that he had came to Xiaoxia City. This D-grade foothold. This Grade, Town. Up. from the city. from the Lin Huang Up in City., he had he. He had no idea if it was because of the tourist attraction or the fact that it was close to Xiagong City.
After entering the city, Lin Huang summoned the Viridian Wolf again and opened the map on his Emperor's Heart Ring. Soon, he found the location of the Xiagong Ruins.
The hotel that he had booked the night before was less than a kilometer away from the south gate of the Xiagong Ruins.
Following the map, Lin Huang soon found the location of the hotel. He realized that Xiaoxia City was not small. It was four to five times the size of Wulin Town and a third of the size of Baqi City.
It was not even 10.30 am when he arrived at the hotel. Lin Huang thought that he was too early and could not check in. However, he found out that he could check in when he asked the front desk.
The hotel was a small ancient building. There were only five floors and there was no elevator.
After checking in at the front desk, Lin Huang walked up the wooden stairs.
The stairs were old and there was a squeaking sound when he stepped on them. However, it was very clean.
Lin Huang's room was on the fifth floor and his room number was 505. He walked all the way up to the fifth floor and realized that there were only five rooms on the first floor. Other than the first floor, there were only 20 rooms in the hotel.
"Is it the off-season now?" Lin Huang was surprised. It was the summer holiday and there should be a lot of tourists. The hotel was located in a good location and there were only a few rooms, but it was not full.
He opened the door and entered the room. The environment in the room was quiet and Lin Huang was satisfied.
It was a viewing room and the balcony was facing the Xiagong Ruins.
The ruins were underground and there were no tall buildings around. Standing on the balcony, he could see a part of the ruins that was covered by the protective layer.
After looking at the balcony for a while, Lin Huang walked out and saw a young couple staying in the room next to him.
He went down to the first floor and saw the plump middle-aged hotel owner at the front desk. He greeted him, "Boss, is it the off-season now?"
"It's the summer holiday these few days and most tourists would go to Xiagong City for a while before coming to our hotel. That's why the business is not good during this period of time. You came early so there are rooms available. If you had waited for another three to five days, it would not be easy for you to book a room here. "The hotel owner explained with a smile.
"I see …" Lin Huang initially thought that there were other reasons for the hotel's poor business. After listening to the hotel owner's explanation, he felt that it made sense.
"Boss, I see that this hotel has been open for a long time. You must have stayed in Xiaoxia City for a long time, right?" Lin Huang continued to make small talk.
"I have been here for more than 20 years and this hotel has been open for 18 years." The hotel owner smiled and nodded.
"About the Xiagong Ruins, are there any legends that outsiders like us have not heard of?" Lin Huang asked again. "Tell me about them."
"The Xiagong Ruins have always been mysterious and there are not many legends about it. However, after staying here for so many years, I have heard of one. If you are interested, you can treat it as a story but you don't have to take it seriously. "
Lin Huang nodded and the hotel owner began to tell the story.
"It is said that in ancient times, there was a powerful man known as Emperor Xia who built an empire. The Xiagong Ruins was his palace. He had billions of people, and he was loved and respected by his people. But one day, a disaster fell from the sky. I don't know what happened, but in one night, the entire empire disappeared. Emperor Xia and his temporary imperial residence also disappeared, as if they had never existed … Of course, no one knows if the Xia Palace that disappeared in the legends is the same Xia Palace as the ruins. "
After listening to the hotel owner's story, Lin Huang was silent for a moment and nodded in satisfaction, "I have never heard of this story before. Are there any other stories?"
"No, the others have been spread on the internet." The hotel owner spread his hands and shook his head.
