Africa Region, Lusaka Base City.
Ever since the cataclysm, Lusaka Base City had been unremarkable. But since the cataclysm half a year ago, Lusaka Base City had become a hot spot.
A permanent Space Rift had made Zamyabi, a landlocked country, an important center. Countless strong people from the African Region had come to Lusaka to set up camp. Inside the Space Rift was an entire world, a whole new world of resources. This attracted the attention of countless people.
Hence, the housing prices in Lusaka Base City had tripled. The young single people who had not yet bought a house could no longer afford it.
Due to the importance of the Space Rift, such a huge treasure was not something that Lusaka Base City could monopolize. Hence, a New World Development Alliance was formed to deal with the Space Rift.
Zambia, Kokang, Zimbabwe, and Anlago were the main members of the alliance. At the same time, Falcon, Red Leopard, and Nine-Headed Lion were the main members of the alliance. A series of large armed groups were led by three large security companies, Falcon, Red Leopard, and Nine-Headed Lion.
Among the four countries, Kokang was the strongest. It was close to the north of Zamyabi.
Zimbabwe was close to the southeast of Zamyabi.
Anra was close to the west of Zambia.
These three countries encompassed most of Zambia's territory.
Since the discovery of the Space Rift, Zamyabi's economy had developed a lot. Every day, a large number of monster trainers entered the Space Rift to explore. The area within 500 kilometers of the Space Rift had been completely explored.
Every day, a large number of Otherworld monsters were transported through the Space Rift and sold all over the world. Some entered the laboratory as research subjects, while others became monster trainers' familiars. For some reason, Otherworld familiars were more popular than native Earth Star familiars. Under the circumstances of the same grade and level, Otherworld monsters were 50% more expensive than Earth Star monsters. Even so, they were still in high demand. The market could not meet the demand.
Of course, the peddlers who sold these monsters advertised that there was a "world tax."
Transporting the monsters from the Otherworld to Earth Star required special procedures. They also had to be sterilized, which consumed a lot of manpower and resources. As for how much manpower and resources were used, only the peddlers themselves knew …
The Space Rift in Lusaka Base City was getting wider and wider. It was now four meters wide and ten meters tall. It looked like a giant door.
Most familiars that weren't too big could pass through this spatial rift.
On the other side of the spatial rift was a ruin, a deserted city.
Traces of people living in the city could be seen, but it was now abandoned. Many of the buildings in the city had been damaged. Now, after the New World Development Alliance renovated the city, it looked a lot better. Turrets were placed on the city walls.
"Boss, we've just developed a new room. There are some things in the room. Go take a look." On the plains, a monster trainer was training his familiar. On the plains, a black and white shadow was running across the plains.
In front of it was a group of similar black and white shadows.
"Hmm?" The black man took off his sunglasses.
"Black King." The black man called his familiar back.
A few afterimages collided on the plain for a while before separating. They were a few Flathead Brothers that were nearly two meters tall. One of the Flathead Brothers with a streamlined body impatiently licked its claws and wiped the hair on its head back.
It walked in front of the black man with sunglasses and cupped its fists without saying a word. Its expression was cold and aloof, and it ignored everyone else.
After passing through the spatial rift, they arrived at a sparsely populated city. The city's main color was grayish-yellow. Plants grew on the walls and roofs. Some of the buildings had collapsed, but no one came to repair them. Only the weeds on the ground were roughly removed.
Some of the buildings had winged sculptures on top of them. Exquisite carvings could be seen on the walls from time to time. All of this showed that a brilliant civilization had once existed here.
Occasionally, people could be seen going in and out of some of the houses. They were all preparing to go in and pick up the leftovers.
After all, this was a ruin left behind by a civilization from another world. There was no telling what valuable things they might find.
When the spatial rift was discovered, people had passed through it and entered the world on the other side. That was the most popular period. Every day, thousands of people would pass through the rift to search. Now, the situation had eased a lot because they found that there was basically nothing valuable left behind in the ruins of the city. Most of the valuable things had been taken away. Even if they couldn't be taken away, they were all destroyed.
After a few turns, they came to a building. It was a building that looked like a medieval church in Europe. There was a pointed tower at the top. There was a dilapidated wooden door at the main entrance that had been removed and replaced with a new one. There was also a 90% new stainless steel alloy door.
After unlocking the door and entering the building, a musty smell filled the room. There were mottled marks on the walls.
They walked up to the third floor and entered a small cubicle. There was a wooden table inside. There were many complicated carvings on the surface of the table.
The carvings on the table were complicated. They could see that it was a plan made up of concentric circles.
In the center was a symbol that looked like a city. There were pictures of mountains, rivers, and other things around it.
There were important signs in many places. There were also some characters that they didn't recognize.
"No one knows what these characters mean?" The black man in sunglasses took off his sunglasses and looked at the characters on the table with a frown. He knew that there was a treasure right in front of him, but he didn't have the key to it.
"I don't know. After we engraved these characters, we showed them to some linguistics professors. They said that these aren't any characters that exist on Earth … But one professor said that it looks a bit like Atlantis."
"Atlantis?"
"Well, it's also called Atlantis. It's just a different name."
"I don't care if it's Atlantis or Atlantis. I just want to know if anyone knows these characters!"
"I'm sorry, boss. We don't think there's anyone who knows Atlantis because we haven't found anyone … Not even a shadow."
The black man in sunglasses put his sunglasses back on. He ran his finger across the surface of the wooden table, feeling the delicate texture of the surface. Suddenly, his finger stopped and pointed at a place.
"What … is this?"
Where the black man's finger stopped was a pattern that looked like a building. It looked very neat and square. There were also many lines in it. It didn't look like a natural environment.
"Well … Boss, this is what I was going to say. This looks like another city."
"Another … city," the black man in sunglasses mumbled to himself.
"How far is it from here?"
"Boss, we've compared the map. The mountain range in the north is 500 kilometers away from us. There are two mountain ranges here, so it should be only 1,000 kilometers away," another black man said excitedly. Another black man said excitedly, "The surrounding 500 kilometers have been explored, which means that we only need to travel 500 kilometers in a straight line to reach another city."
The black man in sunglasses was silent. He frowned and thought.
