Chapter 316 The Dead City is Reviving
Meanwhile, 20 kilometers south of the mountain city.

Lin Yu led his three team members, carefully traversing the mountains, gradually approaching the mountain city.

The bloodline of the Source Blood gave them superior physical abilities, allowing them to traverse over a hundred kilometers overnight and penetrate deep into the "heartland" surrounding the mountain city.

But once you enter the 20-kilometer loop and pass through that iconic tunnel, everyone slows down.

From this point on, they had truly entered the territory of the "Mountain City".

No one knew what would happen, because in the years that followed, even the farthest exploration team had only gone two kilometers further along the tunnel.

Going back even further, there were instances of Holy Blood members approaching within 10 kilometers.

But that large team ultimately met a fate close to "total annihilation".

Now, as time goes by, this mysterious city is also changing.

Past experience is no longer reliable, and even well-known paths are no longer safe.

All they can do is rely on their intuition and experience to find a relatively reliable path.

Lin Yu slowed his pace and moved as gently as possible.

As if afraid of disturbing the insects, fish, birds, and beasts in the forest, the team moved forward silently.

The scout led the way, constantly climbing tall trees to check the road ahead, and each time he returned to the ground, he would bring back the same answer to Lin Yu.

"very quiet."

Lin Yu nodded slightly, then whispered the order:

"keep going."

How far are we from the edge of the mountain town?

"15 kilometers to go."

The scout replied in a low voice as well:

“We are very close now, much closer than the team we were two years ago.”

"But strangely enough, we didn't encounter anything unusual."

"This is completely illogical."

"Common sense?"

Lin Yu shook his head.

"There's no such thing as common sense in this city."

"We are still alive now, but we could be dead in the next second."

"The same team as last time."

"They were communicating with me just a few minutes ago, but a few minutes later, they completely disappeared into this forest."

"It's as if they never existed."

"Therefore, do not let your guard down."

"Just keep going."

"clear."

The scout gave a brief reply, then turned and continued on his way.

At that moment, a shield guard from the group suddenly caught up and approached Lin Yu, asking:
"Sir, should we really continue?"

"It's already dangerous here. If we continue forward, no one knows what will happen."

"It is precisely because we do not know what will happen that we must continue to move forward."

Lin Yu's tone was firm.

After a slight pause, he began to speak:
"This could be a valuable opportunity."

“From 30 kilometers to 15 kilometers, we did not encounter any accidents.”

"I suspect it's not because we were lucky, but because the Chinese army's attack was effective."

"Attack successful?"

The shield guard frowned.

"An attack launched from a thousand kilometers away?"

"If such an attack can also work, then it is no longer something that humans can do, but more like some kind of magic."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yu suddenly laughed.

"If you put it that way, then the Chinese army is indeed a force that has mastered magic."

"Alright, go back to your seat."

"We must continue to move forward."

After saying that, Lin Yu followed closely behind the scout and continued forward.

The shield guard knew he couldn't persuade him, so he could only follow silently.

The four-person team continued their advance in silence, the midday sun filtering through the trees and casting dappled light on the narrow, winding, overgrown path beneath their feet.

As those points of light gradually moved, they had unknowingly advanced to a position less than 10 kilometers from the edge of the mountain city.

At this moment, Lin Yu was able to see the outline of the mountain city with the naked eye.

The city remains shrouded in an almost eternal fog.

But it seems that things have changed somewhat.

Crouching in the grass for cover, Lin Yu asked:
Is communication working properly?

"normal."

The scout beside him replied:

“It’s strange that we can still use radio communication.”

"This has never happened before."

"Based on past experience, once you enter a range of 30 kilometers, the radio will start to become unreliable."

"At 15 kilometers, the radio should have completely failed."

"But it's 10 kilometers now."

"Is this city dead?"

"Die".

As soon as he uttered those two words, Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat.

He finally understood why he had that strange feeling.

Indeed, although the fog had not yet dissipated, the city truly seemed dead. It was no different from those ancient ruins, and even appeared more lifeless.

The weapons of the Huaxia Army have taken effect.

Lin Yu's expression changed instantly.

He realized that this was a rare opportunity.

An opportunity that might actually allow them to enter the mountain city!

"keep going."

"Advance to the hilltop at 6 kilometers."

"We organized observations there."

"clear."

The team members immediately nodded.

But then, the shield guard asked:
"So what exactly are we looking for?"

"pit."

Lin Yu replied:
"A huge pit."

"A huge pit?"

"Yes."

Lin Yu continued forward and then replied:

"The army dropped a nuclear bomb on the mountain city—the kind that's called 'the sun'."

"Nuclear bomb? The sun!?"

In that instant, the Shield Guard suddenly realized where Lin Yu's confidence came from.

If we really had the capability to drop a nuclear bomb on the mountain city.
That city might really have been destroyed!

In an instant, his steps became firm.

The four-person team continued forward, and they still did not encounter any setbacks.

After approaching a point 6 kilometers in a straight line from the edge of the mountain town, the team turned west and began climbing towards the summit.

At this moment, the mysterious city, which had always been considered a forbidden zone, finally revealed its full appearance to them.

A massive, almost brand-new, indescribable building.

The complex and intricate tracks connecting the buildings.

The train, hanging from the tracks, resembled a long snake.

And the grayish-white mist seeping from the city's underground.

Lin Yu's heart was still racing.

He knew that he was very likely the first person in the world to truly see the entire mountain city.
-
However, he had no time for reflection at that moment.

As his gaze slowly moved, he saw the shocking "huge pit".

Perhaps, to use a more accurate term, it shouldn't be called a "pitfall".

It was a huge collapse zone.

It was as if some heavy object had fallen from above, and the entire area collapsed into ruins, just like a sandcastle built by a child.

Flames were burning in the ruins, and amidst the black smoke, flashes of electricity could be seen from time to time.

Without a doubt, that was the crater from the nuclear bomb!
The Chinese army's attack was indeed effective.

Although it did not directly hit the very center of the mountain city, the damage it caused was obvious!

That's why their squad never encountered any unexpected problems.

This city is dead!
Lin Yu let out a long breath.

He opened his mouth and said:
"We can report to the Chinese army now."

"The city has been destroyed; it's probably... completely inoperable."

"Notify them that we are going into the mountain city."

"We will report our findings in the mountain city in a timely manner, and follow up as needed."

"and many more!"

Before Lin Yu could finish speaking, the scout beside him suddenly grabbed his hand.

Immediately afterwards, the scout said in a slightly frightened voice:
"West side."

"West of the mountain city!"

Lin Yu raised his binoculars again and looked in the direction the scout had pointed.

With just that one glance, the hairs on his entire body stood on end.

light.

He saw countless lights.

The lights gradually come on!
A small area was already illuminated by lights, and as the lights came on, the fog seeping from the ground became even thicker.

Immediately afterwards, the light began to spread, expanding like a chain reaction.

Lin Yu's lips trembled slightly.

He immediately took out his radio and began calling the Chinese army in Hanshui City.
-
But at this moment.

A voice suddenly sounded behind them.

The fastest-reacting scout instinctively turned around, and as its longsword swung down, a strange object suspended in mid-air suddenly fell.

coming!

"Enemy attack!!"

The scouts shouted loudly.

More intense commotion could be heard from the bushes in the distance.

Lin Yu drew a pistol from his waist.

He aimed into the distance while shouting into the radio in his hand:
"I am Lin Yu!"

"I'm in the mountain city!"

"This city is dead!"

"But...it is coming back to life!"
