Chapter 1505 The Robber

After a simple washing up, Liu Xing and Ding Kun drank coffee and watched the rising sun chat.

"The first phase of this main mission has been completed. Let's see how to explore the ruins of this ancient civilization in the future." Ding Kun said with some concern: "When I got up at night to go to the toilet yesterday, I saw Norton and others discussing whether this ancient ruin is worthwhile and the assessment of unknown risks. The final conclusion was a bit inexplicable, that is, you can dig, but you can only dig a little bit, because judging from the items that have been excavated at the entrance, the ruins of this ancient civilization may be a city that has suffered severe war."

"Cities like this actually don't have much scientific value, because cities in ancient times were actually considered disposable items. After all, ancient civilizations are strange today, so their respective cities have very obvious characteristics. Therefore, most cities are not suitable for living in other civilizations. So these cities will be abandoned after being breached. At that time, good things in the city will naturally be taken away, and the remaining things may be taken away by passers-by or professional scavengers. As for the last things that remain will turn into waste as time goes by."

"However, because of the big pit trap at the beginning, it makes people a little doubt that there is something wrong with the ruins of this ancient civilization. After all, who would have set up a trap near a worthless abandoned city? Isn't this a problem? So Elizabeth believes that the ruins of this ancient civilization may be more obvious. Although they have become an abandoned city, they are actually a different world. Perhaps it is the secret fortress of the ancient civilization, or a hidden backup city, ready to make a comeback in the future. After all, the principle of cunning rabbits having three holes has long existed."

After hearing Ding Kun say this, Liu Xing believed the words Sirius said last night. It seemed that the ancient ruins under his feet were indeed a captured city, but what’s special about it is the capital of a country.

"If I hadn't been worried about being discovered by Norton and others, I would have heard some key information."

Ding Kun picked up a stone casually and threw it into the big pit. "When I got up and exercised, I suddenly discovered something very interesting, that is, there is a problem with the gravity in this big pit."

Liu Xing looked at the stone and found that its falling speed was indeed slower than normal, but it was only about a quarter of the slower, so if Ding Kun hadn't specifically reminded him, Liu Xing wouldn't have noticed this.

"If nothing unexpected happens, there may be an anti-gravity device in this ancient ruin, so I began to suspect that this so-called sinkhole trap is that some sand and dust are constantly lifted by this anti-gravity device, and finally a terrain similar to a quicksand pit is formed. As a result, the previous expedition team was considered unlucky, just in the moment when the anti-gravity device failed, so the whole team fell down directly, and the anti-gravity device may still be in a restart state, so the effect is just like this." Ding Kun said seriously.

Liu Xing frowned and said in confusion: "Brother Ding, what do you mean is that if this anti-gravity device is successfully restarted, we will not be hurt even if we jump down directly, because we may float like we are in space?"

"That's right, I think this main mission may require us to enter this ruins of ancient civilization, and then do not give us time conditions on the surface, but through the disappearing gravity, we will know that we should leave, because if we don't leave, it may turn into meat pies on the ceiling." Ding Kun nodded and replied.

At this moment, the campground began to become noisy. When Liu Xing looked back, he found that many people were fighting for the toilet...

As for Zhang Jingxu and others, they could still bear it after waking up, because Liu Xing and others had used special access to the toilet before leaving the airport. After all, using the toilet in this wilderness ridge still tests a person's psychological quality, especially for these "city people" who have no relevant experience.

"Ah, I don't know what we are going to do today."

Yoon Eun said to the sky: "Although I have only been here for less than half a day, I have already started to feel bored because there is no cell phone signal here, nor is there any mahjong or something... I had known that I had left so early, so I should have bought a pair of mahjong yesterday, and I would rub it around when I was free."

Zhang Jingxu shook his head and said with a smile: "You look down on Norton and the others a little bit? Our entrance exam is a special interview now. We can paddle beside us, but we can't play blatantly, right?"

As soon as Zhang Jingxu finished speaking, an explosion suddenly came from a distance.

"What happened?"

Liu Xing looked at a small mushroom cloud rising in the distance, roughly estimated the distance and said, "The explosion point is less than three kilometers away from us, and I remember we came from there, and there should be no buildings or residents in that area, so what was the situation of this explosion?"

"Please note that because the explosion point is not far from us, for the sake of security, please ask the team members equipped with weapons to gather at the temporary parking area and make necessary combat preparations."

Elizabeth's voice suddenly rang throughout the camp. "As for the team members who are not equipped with weapons, but who know how to use guns, they also invite me to get the weapons."

Liu Xing took out his pistol and said to Shi Zixuan: "Shi Zixuan, if you can, stay and help me take care of Tian Qing and Li Mengyao. They have just joined the Cthulhu running team game hall and have no chance to learn gun skills yet."

Shi Zixuan nodded, smiled and hugged Tian Qing and said, "Don't worry, Liu Xing, I will raise your wife."

After laughing a few times, everyone started to act.

Although Liu Xing had already taken back the biological pistol, the appearance of the thing was really too cool, so Liu Xing was embarrassed to take it out and use it. Moreover, in this possible high-intensity battle, the weapon that could not actively replenish bullets was a piece of scrap iron.

When Liu Xing and others arrived at the temporary parking lot, they found that someone was installing light machine guns on those pickup trucks. This made Liu Xing and others feel a little relieved. After all, in battles without armored units, the firepower output of light machine guns should not be underestimated.

"Please note that I have just released the drone to investigate the explosion site and found that several tankers were attacked. As for the attackers, they looked like a group of more than ten robbers. They each had a rifle, so the firepower was quite strong." Norton stood up and said, "But it is a bit strange that these people should have come to steal the oil, but from the traces left on the scene, they directly fired and detonated the tanker. And more importantly, these tankers were detonated almost at the same time, so we only heard an explosion."

"Is this a thief shouting to catch the thief?"

Liu Xing frowned and said, "From the current situation, these oil tankers should have been deliberately destroyed. As for the purpose of doing this, it is either to take the opportunity to raise the oil prices in nearby cities, or to defraud insurance money... But then that's it, I think both possibilities seem outrageous, because it's okay to put it in other countries, but this is one of the poorest countries in the world, so even if you raise the oil prices, you won't get much benefit. As for insurance money, is there really a land sea country?"

"Yes, there are only so many people who can use oil in countries like Dihai Country, and they are relatively fixed, so this method of increasing oil prices is likely to be less than worth the cost; as for insurance, it also needs to have an insurance company in Dihai Country. Now Dihai Country is in chaos, and even if the insurance company has it, it should run away. After all, if it doesn't run away now, it may be bankrupt in the future." Yoon Eun continued.

"I don't understand... Wait, the Earth Sea Kingdom is next to Amelika, so the Earth Sea Kingdom now should apply for assistance from Amelika. Therefore, it has blown up several tankers now, and you can look for Amelika to ask for oil for several ships of oil." Zhang Jingxu said.

At this moment, Norton, who was operating the drone, said again: "These guys are coming for us, so you can find a bunker nearby to prepare for battle. If you don't have enough bullets on hand, you can confidently go to the nearby ammunition box to replenish it."

Hearing Norton say this, everyone present immediately scattered and looked for cover. To put it bluntly, Dashitou and Uncle, only a few people chose to use vehicles as cover when they had no choice, because within the effective range of the rifle, ordinary cars could not block bullets at all, and there was also the possibility of detonating the mailbox, so it would be better not to use cars as cover when possible.

As for Liu Xing and others, they were still very lucky to find a huge rock that just could hide everyone, although this left Liu Xing and others with only two firepower points left.

After a while, Liu Xing heard the roar of the car and a burst of gunfire, which sounded like someone was firing a gun at the sky.

"Okay, it seems we don't need to worry that this is a group of well-trained robbers." Ding Kun shook his head and said, "When you fired empty guns at the sky from the beginning, it not only was it a waste of bullets, but also a lack of management. Moreover, if these guys are not blind, you should be able to see the light machine guns on those pickup trucks, which is much more useful than their rifles."

"But we don't know if these guys have any support. Moreover, the chaos in Dihai Kingdom mainly happened in the capital, and they came and went quickly. So if these robbers did not appear out of thin air, it means that they should be from a nearby tribe. These local snakes say it is easy to fight and it is difficult to deal with." Ding Kun shook his head and said, "The strong dragon does not defeat the local snakes. After all, we are just an expedition team. If we are in hostile relations with nearby tribes, we will have to worry about the revenge of these tribes."

At this moment, the gang of robbers had already joined Norton.

Because the Earth Sea Kingdom is close to Amerika, many people from the Earth Sea Kingdom can speak English, so Liu Xing can still understand what the leader of the robbers talked to Norton.

Simply put, Norton clearly showed his body, saying that he could only have the soldiers stationed at the airport running to suppress the bandits with just one phone call, and the robber leader was not a vegetarian. He directly stated that as long as he had a cloud-piercing arrow, hundreds of brothers came to destroy the expedition team, but no one on both sides obeyed each other, so he fell into a confrontation for a while.

However, in the end, the leader of the bandits admitted his fear and said that he was not afraid of anything. The main reason was that the brothers had not had breakfast yet and would suffer losses if they were hungry, so they just escaped.

Of course, Norton also knew that robbers like this might have gathered more people and then came to trouble the expedition team, so he was not vague and called directly to prepare to suppress the bandits.

"I think these guys should not be real robbers. The reason is the detonated oil tankers. After all, robbers also pay attention to profitable things. So whether it is detonating oil tankers or finding troubles to the expedition team that is difficult to deal with at first sight, this is typical thankless."

Liu Xing, who returned to the camp, said in confusion: "But I still don't understand what these guys want to do. Is it just that they are idle and come to find excitement?"

"Maybe it was sent by those mercenaries? They wanted to test what we were from? Because for those mercenaries, we can be said to be their biggest enemies, so if we figure out our movements, we can know whether we are here to interfere in their actions." Ding Kun analyzed.

After a simple breakfast, Liu Xing and others threw away the "robbers" because Norton announced that he would lead a team of people to the gate of the ruins to inquire about the situation. As the objects of care that Yin Luyang had escaped, Liu Xing and others were naturally brought by Norton.

For the convenience of getting up and down, Elizabeth has organized people to build a simple elevator, that is, to use a pickup truck to drive the pulley set. Although only a few people can be transported at a time, it will be much more convenient when transporting equipment.

Of course, if someone doesn't want to wait for the elevator, he can still use the rope to speed down.

Just as Liu Xing and others arrived at the bottom of the pit, Norton came over, "You are Professor Yin's friends, aren't you? He asked me to take care of you, so you just need to go with me a few times and I can give you a pass mark in your entrance exam."

Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble Professor Norton. I hope we can have a happy cooperation this time."
