- This place is a city. From the wreckage of the collapsed buildings, you can judge the size of the city. It is not too big, but it is not small either.
At this point, there is no road, and everyone can only hesitantly move forward in the barely passable place. The light of the fluorite lamp illuminates part of the surrounding darkness. In that part of the looming haze, you can see the The tall and incomplete silhouettes of the dilapidated buildings looked like monsters lurking in the darkness.
In this darkness, there seemed to be some pioneers wandering around. The green light of the fluorite lamps held by the pioneers in the distance looked like floating will-o'-the-wisps, which made people feel an inexplicable feeling in their hearts. A chill.
Feeling the tense atmosphere of the people around him, Zhang Tie switched his vision between dark vision and ordinary vision. He found that under ordinary vision, this ruin was like an ancient tomb in the city, which would indeed bring a lot of pressure to people. , and in the dark vision, what Zhang Tie saw was just a desolate desolation.
In those large and toppled tall buildings, Zhang Tie felt the degree of development of human civilization before the cataclysm.
In Zhang Tie's field of vision, many of the collapsed buildings he saw were high-rise buildings hundreds of meters high. Where those buildings had broken and collapsed, Zhang Tie saw an exposed strip of the buildings. The strips of steel bars and the huge and twisted steel structures, like the fish bones on a fish or the skeleton of a monster, look particularly frightening.
At least in the field of architecture, the heights that humans could reach before the Catastrophe are unmatched by humans today. Zhang Tie compared the cities he had seen with the city in front of him and found that even in his opinion, the most prosperous The tallest buildings in Yiyang City seem to pale in comparison to the ruins and wreckage of the tall buildings in the city in front of them.
On the road that Zhang Tie and the others traveled. There were large pieces of reinforced concrete that collapsed from buildings everywhere, blocking everyone's way, forcing everyone to take a detour.
Also on this roadside, Zhang Tie also saw many vehicles that had been turned into rusty iron shells before the catastrophe. Some of these vehicles were cars, and some looked a bit like those in the city. Something like a tram has many long carriages.
There are also some weird wreckage that even Zhang Tie can¡¯t tell what they are.
Seeing these things, Zhang Tie didn¡¯t know why, but what he thought of was the natural history teacher he had when he was studying at Black Flame City No. 7 Middle School. That teacher¡¯s biggest dream in his life. It is possible to visit such a ruins for a good inspection, but unfortunately, for an ordinary person, such a dream is indeed a bit far away.
"Ah" On the road ahead, a soldier suddenly screamed. Then they fell to the ground, and everyone took out their weapons at once. A defensive alert formation was formed. He looked around cautiously, thinking he was being attacked.
Zhang Tie hurriedly walked over and found the soldier holding his feet. A sharp object appeared from the soldier's instep, which seemed to be a nail.
The injured soldier was quickly dealt with, and the soldier's shoes and soles were pierced. It was indeed a nail, a nail from before the Cataclysm. One end of the nail was nailed to a piece of concrete that fell to the ground, and the sharp side was facing upwards. The soldier just now accidentally stepped on it and was injured immediately.
After others took out the nail and wiped it clean, Zhang Tie took it over and took a look. Even after so many years, the surface of the nail was still black and shiny, with only a little rust. There was no doubt that this was still a catastrophe. The embodiment of human scientific level at that time.
"Everyone, watch your steps!" someone in the team shouted.
¡¡
"I think it's time to find a place to settle down first!" Zhang Tie looked at Aurora and said. When they came to the place where the ruins were, the team's first goal of entering the underground was almost achieved, even if Aurora Do you have any other ideas with Nurdo? Unless the two of them already know the exact location of the possible super ruins, it would be a waste of time for such a large number of people to go on the road together. A master in this underground If we take these people with us to search the area that can be searched in one day, it will take almost ten days to cover it.
Aurora and Nurdo looked at each other.
"The team has been walking underground for so many days. It's really time to take a rest here. The ruins are right in front of us. For these soldiers, if they don't search here and continue on the road, everyone's morale will be affected! If you're lucky, you can make some money here." Nurdo was the first to agree with Zhang Tie's idea.Aurora glanced at the soldiers who were looking around with a mixture of curiosity and excitement, and nodded, "Okay, let's find a place to camp first!"
"Finally, I can find a place to take a good bath!" Sabrina also laughed. In the past few days, the women have been fine. They all like to be clean, while the men already have a smell on their bodies. Now, Zhang Tie has the best smell among men. Zhang Tie doesn¡¯t know if it¡¯s because of the fruits he ate or because he drank too much full-effect potion. Anyway, although his body is also dusty, he is also He was also sweating, but there wasn't much sour smell on his body. According to Sabrina, the smell on Zhang Tie's body was the fresh, masculine smell of the grass scorched by the summer sun.
Since the four most important people in the team had made a unanimous decision, the team continued to move forward for a few kilometers before settling down on the edge of a collapsed building.
The building covers an area of ??more than 6,000 square meters. Of course, the collapsed building cannot collapse again. Zhang Tie and the others chose the angle between the collapsed part of the building and the uncollapsed part. A relatively spacious location. There are barriers on both sides of this place, making it relatively hidden and safe.
As soon as he set up his tent, Zhang Tie saw Holm and Gerry walking towards him. With a wink at him, the three of them left the camp and found a tent a few hundred meters outside the camp. Stopped in a hidden place.
"The place where Holm and I found the ham sausage wrapper is not far from here!" Gerry looked around and whispered.
"Oh. Is it nearby?" Zhang Tie asked.
"Yes, it's in a cave on the eastern edge of the city, less than forty kilometers away from here!" Holm added on the side, pointing in that direction as he spoke.
"Judging from the determination of the tribal alliance to enter the underground ruins this time and the various signs that Jinpeng Bank has stepped in, I think they already know the possibility of a super ruin here. The two sides of the Wild Bear Tribe and our team It can be said that all tribes are here for the super ruins. The information you two discovered is very important to them. It can at least greatly shorten the time they spend searching for super ruins underground. This information was discovered by you. So. You two have full discretion! If you two decide to use this information to make a deal with them, I can guarantee the safety of both of you. If you don't plan to do so, I will not put you away. Tell others what you find!¡±
Zhang Tie looked at Sam and Gerry with sincere eyes. Neither Sam nor Gerry expected that Zhang Tie could say such a thing. I felt a little moved in my heart, at this time. Being able to restrain his greed despite the temptation of super ruins. Always thinking about the two of them, both Sam and Gerry felt that they were right about Zhang Tie as their friend.
"I understand what you mean, but Sam and I are very well prepared this time. The two of us first plan to find an opportunity to go deep into the cave to have a look. If that doesn't work, we will consider making a deal with them!"
Zhang Tie nodded. The purpose of Sam and Gerry is to seek money, and there is nothing wrong with doing so. It would really be inconsistent with the character of the pioneers to give up without trying it for themselves. "Then when are you going to go?"
"Two days later!" Gerry replied, "We will go together then!"
Zhang Tie nodded. This guy Gerry is really cunning. Today is about seven or eight hours before going to bed for the night. It would be too much if two people rush to a certain place with a clear purpose as soon as they settle down today. It's conspicuous, and if you go back after wandering here for two days, it won't arouse anyone's suspicion.
"Actually, there is still huge room for excavation in this city. If it weren't for the possible existence of super ruins, this would have been a perfect treasure trove of ruins for the pioneers!" Gerry continued.
¡°Oh, is there anything else here?¡±
"Of course, at least the bank vaults in this city have not been discovered. Apart from the bank vaults, the already valuable things in this city, such as the jewelry in the jewelry stores buried in the ruins, The things in the safes of rich people's homes, even the top-quality crystals that were used as ordinary decorations and used directly as chandeliers before the Cataclysm, are all valuable compared to the handicrafts and works of art before the Cataclysm. Ah!" Sam exclaimed.
"If there are several museums in this city, the things that can be preserved in the museums are also very valuable!" Gerry added, "The well-preserved books and materials in the library can be sold at high prices outside! "
Zhang Tie did not expect that there could be so many tricks found in this ruins. Looking at the ruins of this city with an area of ??more than 100 square kilometers, it is estimated that what the two guys Holm and Gerry said , there are really quite a few. However, if you look at the large pieces of building debris among the collapsed ruins, you will know that in order to make a fortune here, in addition to luck, strength also seems to be essential.
"You two have said so much, so do you have any goals now? What is the most valuable part of this city?"
"Generally speaking, according to human habits before the catastrophe, the places with the most high-rise buildings are the golden areas of the city. In such places, the possibility of high-end shops and banks to exist is much higher than in other places. Even ordinary banks There is no treasury, but there is also a safe rental business, where there is also a lot of money, and rich people usually live in villas with better scenery in the suburbs of the city, of course, it is not guaranteed! "
Following Gerry's words, Zhang Tie couldn't help but look at the place in the distance where there were the most fluorite lamps wandering around. That place should be the place with the most ruins of high-rise buildings in the city. Several of them had collapsed, but The incomplete part of the building, which is still more than 100 meters high, is very conspicuous. It seems that the other pioneers are not stupid.
"Is that where you are talking about? There seem to be more fluorite lamps in that area." Zhang Tie pointed in that direction. The distance from here is only about ten kilometers, and it doesn't look that far.
"If we remember correctly, the most prosperous business district in the city that we determined when we came last time should be over there!" Sam thought about it and nodded affirmatively.
"How about we go take a look now. It's still early today anyway, and it won't take long to go back and forth!" Thinking of the things hidden in these ruins that Gerry and Sam just mentioned, Zhang Tie suddenly felt I just got interested. I don¡¯t say whether I can make a fortune right away, but it is a very interesting treasure hunting experience.
Gerry and Sam looked at each other and nodded together.
The moment. The three of them didn't waste any time. Zhang Tie took the lead and the three of them trotted over there.
¡¡
Nurdo in the camp had actually been secretly watching Zhang Tie's whereabouts and performance. At this moment, seeing Zhang Tie and his two pioneer friends running towards the distance, Nurdo waved. One of his excited men ran over at once, and Nurdo didn't even say anything. He just raised his chin and gestured in the direction Zhang Tie left. His excited subordinate quietly disappeared into the darkness.
¡¡
After putting down the 70 to 80 kilograms of luggage and supplies they were carrying, Gerry and Sam ran at a very fast pace, covering a distance of more than ten kilometers, even if they had to bypass many ruins and obstacles in the middle. , but for the three of them, it only took about half an hour to get there.
Arrive at that area. As expected, Zhang Tie found many pioneers wandering around, and many of them were using tools to dig around in the ruins and damaged buildings.
"Why don't these people look for it somewhere? I feel like there should be something there?" As soon as he arrived here, Zhang Tie pointed at the ruins and said. The ruins were a relatively low building between the two buildings, only five or six stories high, because the upper part of the building collapsed, and there were also some debris and concrete blocks and other debris from the two buildings. , directly burying most of the low building.
"There may or may not be things everywhere. But it takes too much time and energy to clean up the ruins around that building. Ten people working here for a week may not be able to clean it out, and no one knows what is there. If the things inside are not valuable, the loss of time, energy and supplies will be too great. In such an uncertain place, it is not worthwhile to waste time here." Gerry explained.
Zhang Tie looked at the location of the pile of ruins and felt that that location should be the location of the "belt water" that guy Tang De called. The so-called "belt water" is the term in the Eastern Continent where merchants are opening shops in the Eastern Continent. Sometimes people like to open their shops at obtuse angles or in the arc-shaped inner circle of intersecting roads. This location is the "belt water". According to Tang De, shops opened in this location will have more prosperous Feng Shui and good business. It's easier to do. The grocery store Zhang Tie used to work at was a shop at the "Belt Water" location next to the train station.
In fact, Zhang Tie didn't know what the basis or significance of the so-called "belt water" was, but looking at the ruins in front of him, he instinctively thought that the location seemed to be the "belt water", so he was eager to try it. Zhang Tie's mind The logic here is that it is impossible to build a building at belt level in such a bustling business district.Maybe it's a bun seller or a public toilet. This is too wasteful and does not comply with the principle of maximizing the commercial value of everything in human commercial society before the catastrophe.
"If you want to go somewhere else, feel free to go, but don't go too far from here. If you need anything, call me. I'm going to clean up the ruins and take a look. Just treat it as fun, no matter what. It¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t have it.¡± Zhang Tie said with an indifferent attitude. Instead of trying his luck everywhere without any purpose, it¡¯s better to try it here. Zhang Tie rolled up his sleeves and was ready to fight.
"Ah, Peter, are you crazy? Even if you work here for half a month" Gerry was about to persuade him, but when he saw Zhang Tie's actions, his eyelids jumped involuntarily.
Zhang Tie, who ran to the ruins, grabbed a concrete block weighing five to six hundred kilograms with only one hand, and then casually threw the concrete block thirty meters away like a banana peel, shouting There was a loud bang.
Home and Gerry were stunned.
"You pinch me, I'm not dreaming, I just saw"
In the blink of an eye, another broken cement formwork of almost the same weight was roughly pulled out of the pile of rubble by Zhang Tie, and then casually thrown aside.
Then, in just a moment, Zhang Tie threw out large pieces of building ruins.
Holm and Gerry were stunned. They looked at each other and saw the same doubt in each other's eyes - this guy couldn't be a steam excavator disguised as a human being. This efficiency is simply better than digging. The machine is even higher.
Twenty-seven Seven Power Fruits, coupled with the powerful strength of the seventh-level warrior itself and the highly flexible limbs of humans, make Zhang Tie's efficiency at this moment extremely high.
The huge movement here also attracted many pioneers who were wandering in this place from afar. When those pioneers saw Zhang Tie's terrifying power, which could even throw away more than a ton of ruins and garbage, one by one Completely petrified.
Zhang Tie put on the Dark Ripper Gloves. With the cooperation of the iron-blooded fighting spirit, those hands could even be inserted into stones, easily shattering, lifting, and throwing away many things.
In just half an hour, Zhang Tie had already cleared out a small area of ??the ruins and concrete blocks that buried the building.
Finally, a heavy concrete block weighing more than seven or eight tons appeared in front of Zhang Tie, blocking Zhang Tie's way forward.
Zhang Tie ran away
Many people breathed a sigh of relief and thought they could give their hearts a rest. Zhang Tie ran back again, holding an I-beam more than three meters long that he picked up from other rubbles. Tie used the I-beam as a lever, found a stone, placed it under the overweight concrete ruins, and pried it away. The obstacle that weighed more than seven or eight tons was also moved away by Zhang Tie.
In the next five hours, Zhang Tie dug completely tirelessly. With the help of the pair of Dark Ripper gloves and the super-strong lever, and under the incredible gazes of a large number of pioneers, Among the ruins, a passage was opened that could just allow one person to enter and exit.
Finally, one wall of the low building was exposed
Without thinking, Zhang Tie picked up the I-beam and pounded it against the wall
In a burst of dust and smoke, a hole appeared
