Chapter 1006: Chapter 73: Successfully Arrived at Lanton Lower City
The Golden Chariot Hall was empty, with no Dragon Robe nor Dragon Throne, only a bottomless space rift.
From the remaining traces at the scene, it could be tentatively judged that a rebellion had once erupted inside the Imperial City… Or perhaps a coup, the ambition of the rebels ultimately attracted the greed of the Demons.
The Demons sward out of the rift, devouring the souls of all the survivors, though they didn’t end up with much advantage either. Thousands upon thousands of Demon corpses lay collapsed among the ruins of the palace, looking quite tragic.
The lingering resentnt and various filthy blasphemous forces transford into pages of books, converging into Little Gourd’s hands.
These Demon corpses could certainly be recycled and reused, but there was no need to let Little Gourd handle it alone. Now Wang Yunxiao and his comrades were enjoying the army’s establishnt, using military logistics and supplies, so there was naturally no need to fuss over these trivial matters.
Soon enough, soone would co to clean up the battlefield.
“The other side is not the world of Demons, but rather…”
Chen Yan gazed at the space rift, her eyebrows knit tightly.
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing her expression wasn’t right, Wang Yunxiao hastily asked in a low voice.
“The recent temporal shock shattered the channel connecting the two worlds; this rift was twisted to another location, it seems to be…”
Chen Yan hesitated for a mont, sowhat uncertainly said, “The Lanton Lower City that those chanical God Sect cultivators described?”
“Is there danger?”
“Don’t see any danger for now.”
“Then let’s go and take a look.”
Since all those refugees could flee here, Wang Yunxiao reckoned there shouldn’t be any significant issues on the other side.
At most, it might just be unsuitable for habitation.
He was highly curious about the legendary Lanton Lower District, after all, the United Kingdom on this world line walked a path quite different from others. They abandoned their global colonies, choosing to scale back and shut themselves off, their technology tree pointed in a bizarre direction.
However, for now, he had military duties to attend to.
Currently, he wasn’t just commanding a squad of his own brothers, but a company of several hundred soldiers.
They had already preliminary achieved their strategic goals; judging by the commotion from West Spring Mountain, it seed like they had drawn out the snake from its cave.
Now all he needed to do was stand guard and wait for the next order from above.
If Chen Yan weren’t here, Wang Yunxiao certainly wouldn’t consider traveling abroad.
But given that Chess Herald was present, the cost and risk of dinsional travel weren’t as high, so they could try scouting so intelligence.
With the dizziness he was now accustod to, Wang Yunxiao steadied his feet on the ground.
What hit him first was the pungent sll of chemical industrial waste, even with the filter of a gas mask, he almost got knocked over by it.
In front of him was a pitch-dark, deep sewer channel, colorful industrial wastewater flowing underfoot, with skeletal remains of humans or unknown creatures piled up in the corners.
This place seed no different from Hell.
“Tell Chen Ming to stand by; don’t co over, the pollution here is too severe.”
Though Qilin Army’s weaponry and equipnt were quite advanced, unlike the Special Service Section, they weren’t specifically equipped to handle various special circumstances, such as gas masks.
Without the gas mask filtering the air, staying one more minute in this godforsaken place felt like losing one year of life.
After passing through this dark tunnel, Wang Yunxiao arrived at a spacious area.
This place looked like a massive-sized garbage processing plant; though similarly foul-slling, it was at least much drier and warr compared to the underground sewer.
There were makeshift shanties built haphazardly everywhere—seems like soone had been long-term dwelling here, though they have moved to new hos now.
Above, right overhead, was a round furnace with a diater of over twenty ters, it looked like a furnace, yet Wang Yunxiao couldn’t figure out what it actually was since he wasn’t a professional.
The thing emitted a faint red glow, with blades inside gently rotating like an airplane engine.
At this mont, a loud roar emanated from within, the red glow gradually brightened, and the temperature of the entire space began to rise along with it. Shortly after, a heap of chaotic garbage tumbled down from within with a whoosh.
Turns out it was a garbage processor!
The damned United Kingdom folks would have their technology tree pointing to Planet Peak?
Wang Yunxiao looked up at this obviously era-surpassing man-made artifact, left with just ntal exclamations due to low cultural literacy.
“Boss, sobody’s up there.”
“I noticed.”
Even without Youtiao reminding, Wang Yunxiao had also spotted it; right at the edge channel of that garbage processor above, a gaze had been watching their group’s movent intently all along.
Soone hadn’t left?
Or perhaps… people from above?
Wang Yunxiao turned his head and signaled to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan raised her hand and made a gentle swipe, Matuan and Youbing inexplicably disappeared from where they stood, and the next mont, a child’s panicked scream ca from overhead.
The scream lasted only a mont, then abruptly stopped.
When Matuan and Youbing teleported back, one of them held a red-haired little imp barely over a ter tall, and the other held a gun and helt.
It was a girl with unhealthy-looking skin, covered in freckles, filled with panic, but with a hint of wildness.
“Are you a resident here? What’s your na?”
Wang Yunxiao asked in English.
“Su Ya! I’m Su Ya from the Moriaty Gang!”
The little girl tried to scramble back for her helt and gun the mont she was thrown to the ground, failing to retrieve them, she turned and said fiercely and loudly to Wang Yunxiao, “You’re not the Holy Defenders!”
“Of course we’re not the Holy Defenders. Do you know where they went?”
“I don’t know!”
“Oh, you do.”
Wang Yunxiao stared into her eyes and said, “We ca from that side, the sa route they took.”
Don’t assu kids know nothing.
Before Wang Yunxiao crossed over, at her age, he had already made a na for himself on Tiann’s interface.
A child cuddled in the arms of their mother drinking milk is completely different from a child running around on the streets for their livelihood.
So Wang Yunxiao never treated her as an ignorant child.
She had gear and weapons, dared to venture alone into such a spooky place, wasn’t a child, but a reconnaissance soldier.
Sure enough, after hearing Wang Yunxiao’s explanation, Su Ya’s wariness gradually relaxed, tentatively asking, “Are you folks from the Dark Wilderness?”
“That’s what you call our side?”
“Have they reached over there?”
“Probably succeeded.”
“What do you an ‘probably’?”
The little girl instantly reacted fervently.
“‘Probably’ ans, I saw them reach it, but whether they’ve succeeded is hard to say.”
Wang Yunxiao felt he was speaking honestly.
“Why didn’t you go with them?”
“I’m from the Moriaty Gang, not on the sa side with them!”
The little girl reiterated her affiliation.
