"There are more than one hundred urban ruins found on Alpha Star, but most of them are C and D. There are very few urban ruins that can be rated as B... Do you know why the ruins of the bronze city are a

A level ruin?" The ghost owl said slowly with a calm face.

"Why?" Ye Yan in the screen in the lower right corner asked naively, saying that the Ye family and the Gray Bird Hunting Group were different. As a noble family who had been working with the military for a long time, from the moment the war was finalized, they

He was tied to the chariot.

"Because it's not a city at all, but a fortress." The ghost owl said word by word.

Every word he said was like a powerful drum beat, beating on the hearts of every person participating in the video conference.

"Fortress?!" Ye Yan couldn't help but exclaim, "One, an Alpha civilization fortress controlled by the heresy sect, how could this be defeated!"

"Although I have heard some news about the ruins of the bronze city, I am the first to hear the fortress method." Ke Lan said, "Since Mr. Ghost Owl, you have been to that place, please give me a detailed explanation of the place.

An exploration experience.”

"Yes!" Ye Yan quickly agreed, "Ye's consortium is willing to pay you a generous reward in exchange for information on the ruins of the ancient bronze city."

"The building arrangement of that ruin is very different from other alpha cities." Gui Owl said, "I don't know if you have ever heard of it. In ancient China, there was something called 'formula'?"

"...Formation? Does it mean that the formation of an ancient marching and war were the army?" the hunting dog couldn't help asking.

"That's also a kind of formation, but I'm referring to the application of formation in architecture." Gui Owl said.

"Architect... are you something like the Bagua Formation?" Ke Lan asked.

"What Bagua Formation? Isn't Tai Chi Bagua a pattern on the flag of South Goryeo in the old era?" Ye Yan suddenly asked a speechless question.

Ghost Owl: "…"

"Your Big Master Ye... You are so embarrassing. You are still a descendant of the Chinese nation. Why don't you even know the Tai Chi Gossip of your ancestors?" The hunting dog held back a smile and complained.

"Damn it? Is Tai Chi Bagua actually something in our Chinese culture? These sticks are too good at stealing, right? Everything is stolen, even the national patterns of a dignified country... are they stolen from our Chinese?

?” Ye Yan suddenly turned red. As a playboy master who is proficient in eating, drinking and having fun, he is really not interested in these old era cultures and other things... After all, when he flirts with girls, he even talks about food and art.

Talk about luxury goods and other things can achieve the purpose of pretending. But if you talk to girls about these difficult and obscure things thousands of years ago... I am afraid that the girl will leave without any interest before she finishes her talk.

Opened.

"My 'Bagua Formation' comes from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", also known as 'Eight Formation Map'. Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Shu, once set up such a maze with a huge rock in a place called Yufupu, which stopped Lu Xun of Wu's Kingdom.

Tens of thousands of pursuers,” Ke Lan explained.

"So exaggerated? How many stones can stop an army of tens of thousands of people? Even if it is a maze, it can fill it with the number of people." Ye Yan said in surprise.

"Of course it contains some exaggeration, but similar formations really exist... In fact, the very common "maze" in the ruins of Alpha civilization can be regarded as after the concreteization of the "formula"

Product.” Ke Lan continued.

"The ruins of the ancient bronze city are themselves a huge maze." The ghost owl nodded and took over the conversation, "This is a maze specially set up for military purposes. According to the capacity of the city site, there are tens of thousands of soldiers...

Even if a million people are involved, they will be trapped in it."

"You all know how the name of the ancient bronze city ruins came from, right?" asked the ghost owl.

"I know... I just checked the information..." Ye Yan scratched his double chin with a little embarrassed expression and said, "It's because the buildings in the city are all made of copper elements as the main ingredient.

The alloy is built, so it is called the ancient bronze city.”

"Have you ever wondered why the construction of the ancient bronze city uses this alloy... instead of the lower-cost earth and stone concrete or polymer?" asked the ghost owl again.

"Maybe... for Alpha people, the cost of copper alloy is even lower?" Ye Yan asked with some uncertainty.

"No, although I don't know the correct answer, your method is definitely wrong." Leiden shook his head repeatedly, "Although the copper reserves on Alpha Star are not poor, they are not rich... For a occupancy

With the civilization of the entire planet, this reserve can only be considered barely enough. Important metal resources like copper are of absolute value that are higher than those of concrete and plastic that can be synthesized by chemical means."

"Then why do they use copper alloy to cast the city?" Ye Yan said inexplicably.

"Because copper is an excellent conductor." Gui Owl said, "The whole city... or the entire fortress is actually a super-large weapon. Every building in the ruins can become a deadly weapon.

.”

"What does it mean? Every floor in this city can be powered on, will everyone who enters it be electrocuted?" The hunting dog raised his eyebrows, "Instead of this fortress, I prefer this thing to be

An oversized torture instrument.”

"If it were just high voltage electricity, the three hunters under my command would not have been killed at that time." Ghost Owl sighed, "The whole city is not only a conductor... and even a giant energy shield generator."

"City-scale energy shield generator?" Leighton said astonished, "Then... how terrifying is the energy consumption? If it is not launched in the form of a shield but as a weapon, it should be able to kill the ark with one shot.

Wear it?"

"When we explored the ruins of the bronze city, the defense facilities of this fortress have not been activated yet... But even such a dormant fortress took the lives of nine elite hunters from the Gray Bird Hunting Group."

The ghost owl sighed again, "Let's do this, I'll post the video of the original exploration. After you read it, you should understand the danger of this ruin..."

After a brief progress bar, the camera on the Ghost Owl switched to a slightly blurred video screen.

This video seems to be taken with a portable image recording device mounted on a helmet. From the time in the upper right corner, we can see that the shooting time was in the New Era 941, and the span of ten years has been around.

The video shooter is located in the middle of the team. In front are four "vanguards" wearing light-powered exoskeletons, and about thirty meters ahead of the "vanguards" is an isolated one.

"Scout".

The position of "scout" is the most dangerous factor in the entire hunter team. Generally, the hunter who serves as "scout" is either the kind of "consumables" sent out to thunder, or the kind of bold and careful old man

Bird...and this "scout" of the Gray Bird Hunting Group obviously belongs to the latter.

This is a female hunter, petite figure, wearing a highly elastic combat uniform that is very close to the body. The combat uniform completely outlines the lines of her body. She is very thin, she is the skinny and thin, with breasts.

The front flat is almost no different from that of a man... But for scouts, those two piles of fat are unnecessary burdens, but this thin figure is the best.

The smaller the body, the more places you can get into... At the same time, the smaller the range of things you will be affected by various mechanisms.

"The code name of this scout is 'Hummingbird'. She is a veteran. Although she is only nineteen years old, she has had six years of experience in exploring relics..." The voice of the ghost owl rang out of the picture.

"At the age of nineteen, she has six years of exploration experience? Then didn't she start to be a hunter at the age of thirteen? I remember that the hunter qualification certificate can only be taken if she becomes an adult?" Ye Yan murmured, "It is illegal to use child labor.

…”

Six years of exploration experience, she is definitely a "predecessor" character in the hunting dog circle. Her exploration experience is even more exploration experience than half of the people in the hunting group. This data is not based on a simple period of years.

Let’s forget it. It’s not that I explored the ruins ten years ago and then explored them ten years later, even if I am a “ten-year-old hunter”. According to the official recognition standards, only more than those who explored the ruins of Level D or Level D within one year.

Five times, this year will be included in the "experience".

"She was indeed an illegal hunter before, but at that time she was not a member of the Gray Bird Hunting Group, and they were all 'buyed' by another hunting group..." Ghost Owl explained.

"Is it bought it as a scout?" The hunting dog couldn't help asking. The scout in his words naturally refers to the meaning of the first "consumable".

"Yes. But perhaps because of her talent, or because of her luck, she survived four revelations and redeemed her freedom. After that, she was in several hunting groups.

After working as an "illegal hunter" without a license for several years, all of whom were scouts... Until during a joint exploration operation, he was attracted by the then commander of the Gray Bird Hunting Group and spent a lot of money to dig it up.

Of course, she was already an adult by then and obtained the legal hunter qualification." As if worried that others would misunderstand the gray bird hunting group, the ghost owl added another sentence at the end.

"I just checked it online." Ivan's voice inserted, "Elite Relic Hunter 'Hummingbird', obtained the hunter qualification certificate in 939 in the New Era, and has been in more than a dozen hunting groups. It was the last hunting group to stay.

It was the Gray Bird Hunting Group. It was a very famous "scout" in the hunter circle at that time. However, in 941, the Gray Bird Hunting Group unfortunately died while exploring the a-009 "Bronze City Ruins".

"...Didn't die in the process of the Gray Bird Hunting Group exploring the a-009 'Bronze City Ruins' in 941?" Ye Yan repeated this sentence and couldn't help but widen his eyes, "That is, it's in the video

This time?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling white light suddenly lit up in the video. Ye Yan, the Hound and others couldn't help but squint their eyes, while Ke Lan stared at the screen.

The camera was shaking violently, and the person responsible for carrying the video equipment seemed to have fallen to the ground while retreating. The camera first suddenly pulled towards the sky directly above, then quickly threw it down and looked at the first

Front.

Right ahead, there was the source of white light that almost blinded everyone.

At that time, a thick energy shield came accurately, and it should be a dazzling light wall. This light wall blocked the entire street. As for the scout "hummingbird" who was originally standing in that position,

Before he could even make a scream, he completely disappeared into the curtain wall of light composed entirely of energy bodies, leaving no trace behind.

"She...she...she...is she dead?" Ye Yan was obviously a little scared and even stuttered.

"Yes." The Ghost Owl's voice sounded again, "She was dead, not even her body was left. Her entire body, along with her equipment, was completely vaporized the moment the light curtain appeared."

The light wall did not stay in place, but began to advance along the street. The hunters of the gray bird hunting group ran away and they reacted quickly, but even so, the few hunters running at the end of the team were still slapped by the light wall.

Chasing after him, "swallowing" in... When the light wall disappeared and everyone stopped, the person carrying the video equipment turned around. The four avant-gardes who were originally located behind him now had only the last one left.

people.

While escaping, there was another hunter who was accidentally tripped and fell to the ground. No one helped him because it was too late. Rescuing people would only increase casualties... Although he was not seen in the camera by a light wall

The scene that caught up with him, but through the abrupt shouting outside the picture, his ending can naturally be imagined.

A sudden appearance and disappearance of light wall instantly caused the elite gray bird hunting group to lose five hunters.

"The light wall moves very fast. According to my judgment, it is about eight to ten meters per second, which is very close to the world record of the 100-meter race in the old era." said the ghost owl.

"That is, with the help of no vehicles, only reinforcers can escape this thing?" said Layton.

"Yes. The duration of the light wall is not fixed. Some only lasts for a few seconds, while others last for nearly half a minute." said the ghost owl.

"What do you mean is that you encountered light walls more than once in the ruins of the bronze city?" Ke Lan asked, "Then do you know what the trigger conditions of such a mechanism are?"

"I'm sorry, the trigger conditions are completely unknown." Ghost Owl's tone was very heavy, "I'm not even sure whether the light wall was triggered by us or appeared randomly in the city... Sometimes, there are even plural types at the same time.
