Chapter 457: Ruins Tour Group! Overnight Stay!

"Then again, it's a miracle that this No. 3 Civilization Ruin is still here in place."

Xu Jingming said with a murmur of wonder.

Such super-technology should have long been divided up by all factions.

"The No. 3 Civilization Ruin has a self-destruct program—any forced entry or removal of the vessel from its original location triggers it."

"High-level psychics once tried to hack the main AI with top-tier artificial intelligence, but all failed."

"So they just left it here and took away everything they could carry."

Leng Yuexi helplessly shrugged.

Of course,

the core part of the entire No. 3 Civilization Ruin remains inside, operating normally.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be a need for a pass to enter.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jingming nodded but said nothing.

Eva, as a sub-entity, is already top-tier artificial intelligence—its mother entity's intelligence must be even higher.

Naturally, it couldn't be easily hacked.

Just as he was thinking this, Leng Yuexi suddenly brightened, pointing toward a direction across the pit:

"Huh, there's a building over there! The psychics come to tour the No. 3 Ruin must have already arrived!"

"How can there be a building inside the Wild Zone?"

Xu Jingming frowned and followed the direction Leng Yuexi pointed.

Sure enough, on the other side he spotted a two-story building, about seven or eight meters tall, hidden beneath towering trees.

Bright lights flickered within the structure, and silhouettes moved back and forth.

"Wait, it's really there?"

Xu Jingming's eyes widened, his face full of astonishment.

The Kanda Wild Zone is packed with ferocious beasts; even if there were buildings, they should've been crushed long ago.

"For a psychic with elemental earth ability,

as long as they're above sixth-rank, creating a building out of thin air is very simple."

"As for water and electricity, even easier to solve."

After explaining a few words, Leng Yuexi strode forward with her long, elegant legs:

"Let's go take a look.

Those are probably tourists who came here because the No. 3 Ruin is about to open."

Seeing this, Xu Jingming hurried after her.

The building stood on the other side of the pit; only when Xu Jingming drew closer did he realize:

There wasn't just one such building—altogether, there were over a dozen buildings in the vicinity!

These structures were built with extreme secrecy—either hidden beneath towering trees,

or entirely enveloped within a single tree.

From afar, you'd never guess so many buildings lay concealed here.

But as Leng Yuexi said, these buildings were clearly not made of cement.

They were built from earth-brown soil, yet their surfaces gleamed with a metallic luster, their strength undoubtedly far exceeding cement's.

"So many people came here to tour the No. 3 Civilization Ruin?" Xu Jingming was surprised.

Each building covered about two hundred square meters and had two floors.

Conservatively estimating, four people per floor, there were at least a hundred people gathered here!

"They're not just touring the civilization ruin—they're also hunting ferocious beasts nearby."

The psychics who come here to tour are almost all scions of psychic noble families from different nations.

They have dedicated bodyguards, just here to gain practical combat experience."

"When I was at Magic University, my father once made me join a similar activity."

With Leng Yuexi's explanation, Xu Jingming fully understood.

It was essentially an international tour group!

Only the tour guides weren't ordinary people—they were high-rank psychics.

Even the tourists had dedicated bodyguards protecting them.

"People really can't be compared—those of us without deep backgrounds can only fight alone."

"Those with connections—even when gaining practical experience, have bodyguards guarding them at all times," Xu Jingming couldn't help but sigh.

"You're not without background—if you wanted it."

"Your teacher Su would definitely arrange for several eighth-rank Grand Masters to guard you day and night."

Leng Yuexi covered her mouth and laughed softly.

SS-rank psychic awakeners, as long as their requests aren't excessive, will always be granted by the Great Xia high command.

"Nah, I'm not that fragile."

Shaking his head, Xu Jingming glanced at the sky and said:

"It's about to be completely dark. Let's go find a place to spend the night."

The Redwood Forest area is relatively flat; on our way here, I didn't find any caves suitable for resting.

Tonight, I'll probably just have to settle for the cleanest spot I can find.

"Find a place? What place? Isn't this fine?

Sheltered from wind and rain, with electricity and beds, maybe even hot water—why go elsewhere?"

Leng Yuexi slightly raised her elegant eyebrows.

"This is someone else's territory—can they even let us in to rest?" Xu Jingming asked, puzzled.

"Don't forget, I'm still a Seventh-Stage Master."

"And I'm also the branch chief of the Spirit Fox Guild—asking them for a night's lodging shouldn't be a problem."

A confident smile graced Leng Yuexi's lovely face:

"Also, the security here is handled by the Vane Army, a local force from Myanmar, who have a cooperative relationship with our Spirit Fox Guild."

"I see—then it should be fine," Xu Jingming realized at once.

Within the range of his Heart Net perception alone, there were already four Seventh-Stage Masters.

But being a Master doesn't necessarily guarantee anything.

"Chief Leng, long time no see—I never expected to run into you here."

At that moment, an imperfectly spoken Daxia language voice came from the side.

Three men clad in combat suits, with distinct Myanmar features, approached.

The one who spoke was the middle man, tall and thin, with a smiling face.

Through his Heart Net perception, Xu Jingming easily detected that this man was a Lower-Grade Seventh-Stage Master.

The other two were Sixth-Stage Peak Ability Users.

"Deputy Commander Ang, long time no see."

Leng Yuexi also smiled warmly. "Last month, I visited your base.

I met with your Commander Wu, but I didn't see you then."

"I was on a mission outside at the time."

Deputy Commander Ang nodded with a smile, then asked curiously:

"Chief Leng, are you here in the Wild Zone to hunt ferocious beasts?"

"Mm, I brought my junior brother along for training."

Leng Yuexi nodded. "We just happened to see you stationed here, so I wondered if we could borrow a night's lodging."

"Of course no problem."

Deputy Commander Ang didn't hesitate—he readily agreed with great generosity:

"But all the buildings are for my guests; the only one left empty is one, less than one hundred square meters."

"More than enough. As long as there's a place to rest."

Leng Yuexi wasn't particularly concerned. "Also, I can take night watch duty tonight."

"Night watch? No, no, no—Chief Leng, you're a distinguished guest of the Vane Army!

The combat suits and alloy weapons you provided last time helped us immensely—how could we possibly let you stand watch?"

Deputy Commander Ang quickly shook his head.

"Then thank you very much. I knew it—your Vane Army is definitely a reliable partner.

For the next batch of equipment, I'll personally give you a five percent discount."

The moment Leng Yuexi finished speaking, Deputy Commander Ang's face lit up with delight. He immediately instructed someone beside him:

"Chief Leng truly has a generous spirit! Ouka, take Chief Leng and her companions to rest now."
