You've become the warden, and you're telling me I'm an undercover agent?

Chapter 300 "Misty World, New Calendar Year 997"

Chi Ping did not resist. His body was lifted up by a halo of light and slowly "floated" upwards in the dark subspace.

He looked back, and through the light curtain behind him, with his excellent eyesight he could see the sorrow and reluctance on the faces of Mang, Huoba, Wei San and others.

Mang was the most worried. Her eyesight had fully recovered. She had originally thought that after retrieving the stone tablet, Chi Ping could stay for a while longer.

There is still some time that belongs to just the two of them, but...

Chi Ping, this unromantic guy, waited until Mang finished dealing with the camp affairs and finally got away and rushed over. This guy was just about to leave.

She had originally been wearing sunglasses to hide her slightly red eyes, but when she saw Chi Ping dive into the light curtain, she lost her reserve.

Tears were falling so hard that she took off her glasses to see Chi Ping more clearly.

Crying and sobbing, wiping tears and wailing.

Like a boiling kettle.

Huoba and Wei San were more reserved. After all, they were men, and their silence alone represented a lot of thoughts and emotions.

It was just that Hoba’s face, as cold and hard as stone, had two pools of pensive springs;

Wei San looked more like a fierce and violent bandit, but when he suddenly took off his armor, the lines on his face looked softer.

He remembered what Chi Ping said to him:

“Find a partner and try to live a normal life.

"You're not in bad condition."

As for Le Bai?

She bared her teeth and waved wildly at Chi Ping.

Although this girl wasn't very bright, she had a great mentality. She had lived a hard life, and to her, Chi Ping's departure to investigate the unfathomable enemy was just a common farewell.

"Go early and come back early!"

The halo carried Chi Ping's body and flew far away. When he looked back, he saw a blue light spot above the original light curtain.

If you expand your perspective, you will find that there is not only a blue light spot below, but a dense blue ocean!

This scene gave Chi Ping a great shock, and suddenly an absurd idea popped up in his mind:

If a blue dot of light represents a group of captive humans;
So, what does the blue ocean below represent?
Just the guess made his scalp tingle.

Calculate based on the hundreds of millions of people in the Federation, the United Kingdom and other small countries, and then multiply by the blue light spot below!

Does the unknown possess such great power?

When Space Apocalypse traveled through this subspace, he probably witnessed such a shocking scene, right?
I don’t know whether the advance team at that time had any intention of retreating.

In the dark subspace, no one knew how much time had passed, but Chi Ping was still floating.

Out of boredom, he changed to a comfortable lying position, and for the sake of Space Apocalypse, he suppressed the urge to defecate.

I don’t know how long this face can last, but fortunately after a while he finally came out from another light curtain.

In this world, the air was chilling. Chi Ping exhaled white mist as he looked out at the devastated world.

Stretching across the horizon, one could see dilapidated, collapsed buildings. The mountains in the distance seemed to have been violently hacked, chopped, torn, or beaten, leaving only half of the mountain in ruins.

I felt something hard under my feet. I took off my shoes and saw a section of railway track covered with green grass.

This is the world after the end of the world.

Chi Ping had a preliminary guess in his mind, but when he looked up, he was suddenly stunned.

The sun in the sky was broken, with numerous massive cracks crisscrossing its surface. It no longer possessed the blazing, dazzling heat of Chi Ping's world. Instead, it glowed a feeble, orange-yellow light. Few years from now, the shattered sun, along with this world, would vanish into the vastness of the universe.

Chi Ping snapped his fingers and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in an abandoned building.

【Space Jump】For movement, it is more useful than haste.

But haste is not just about movement, it can also be added to attacks, and both have their own advantages.

This is a collapsed hotel. Judging from its remaining size, it could be considered a three or four-star hotel in the original world.

However, as time passed, the glass in the hotel windows was broken, large pieces of walls fell off, dust accumulated and rainwater seeped in, forming a thick layer of mud on the ground.

The most direct way to learn about a place is to ask someone. If there is no one, then look for written clues.

As for the hotel, there are many text clues.

The only question is whether [Relic Traveler] can automatically recognize text, and whether the text in it can be considered as text in the ruins of civilization?

The corridors of the dilapidated hotel were dim and dark. The thick carpet beneath their feet was covered in mold. Occasionally, a beam of light shone in from the open doors of the rooms, becoming the only source of light in the corridor.

Chi Ping searched for a long time and finally found some written materials in a room.

This should be the office of the boss or a senior executive. Two-thirds of the ceiling has collapsed, and the remaining one-third is half hanging up, shaking.

Directly opposite the boss's chair, there is a cabinet with some insect-eaten paper documents in it.

He randomly picked one up, and the words on it made Chi Ping a little confused.

He didn't recognize this font.

But the next second [Ruins Traveler] was activated.

Chi Ping's heart sank. He should have been happy, but then he thought of another possibility.

The entry for [Relic Traveler] explains: You have had in-depth contact with the ruins of civilization from the last millennium, and you have the ability to interpret prehistoric texts.

"The ability to interpret prehistoric writing."

Is there a ruin outside the fog?

What about the monster?
What about the monsters that destroyed civilization?
How did they destroy the human army that had S-class abilities and thermal weapons?
Glancing at the translated text:
"Tefia International Hotel Purchase Order"

Further down were some purchasing data and items, and Chi Ping flipped directly to the last page.

Sure enough, there was a date at the end of the paper:

991/6/27

991 years?
Chi Ping was stunned, but the number of thousands of years made him feel a little confused. This was most likely the remains of another thousand-year-old civilization!

But doesn’t the gate connect to the outside of the fog?
Chi Ping's mind raced as he went through the other written materials again.

For a moment, dust was flying everywhere, and even several iron cabinets containing documents were torn into pieces by him.

Finally, Chi Ping found a contract in a safe.

The contract clearly states the full name of the year:
New calendar year 991

Chi Ping's pupils suddenly shrank, and his head exploded with a buzzing sound!
The "New Calendar" is the calendar used by all countries in the world where the Federation is located.

this--

A somewhat terrifying thought emerged in Chi Ping's mind:
Beyond the fog, is there another ruined federal world?

Is it the "unknown" in the sky playing tricks on me, or is this the truth?

No, this is not right. It must be the same name as the Era.

Chi Ping quickly searched the written materials for any clues. Although he gradually realized it, he still held on to hope.

Then, he saw a series of place names in many documents, until the last place name, like a heavy hammer, hit his heart directly! Smashing all his luck!
The translated information is the address left by a hotel member:

Fanyang, the Federation's Xiajiang Province——

This is not right!

Shouldn't there be "unknown" outside the fog, high above the sky, with rampant monsters holding humans in the fog captive? Don't they feed on civilization?
How could this scene happen?

Chi Ping suppressed his surging emotions and continued searching, trying to find some more valuable clues.

Finally he found an official document with an official seal in the lower right corner.

The document is the seventh official warning to all non-governmental organizations about the Millennium Tribulation, requiring all people to relocate to designated locations and actively cooperate with the authorities to survive the Millennium Tribulation.

The date of signature is October 997, 10 in the new calendar.

In other words, the hotel was closed in the second half of 997 AD.

So what year is it now in the new calendar?

When Chi Ping passed through the gate, it was the end of the new calendar year 716.

So, is this the future of that side?

It's very confusing and there's very little useful information. The best outcome at this point is to find someone and ask them in person.

According to official documents, Chiping is currently located in a small country between the Federation and the United Kingdom. Due to its geographical location, a large survival base has been established here.

Chi Ping searched for a while, but found a lot of repeated information and nothing useful.

Following the signs left behind, Chi Ping was able to barely determine the location of the large fortress, and he headed in that direction.

Beyond this hotel are vast expanses of abandoned buildings.

Only then did Chi Ping realize that he had reached the edge of a city.

A scene of doom and gloom, wormwood and moss blossomed with vigorous vitality in the deserted city. They emerged from under the asphalt, concrete slabs, and floor tiles, and some even clung to the walls. This dilapidated city possessed a strangely desolate beauty.

However, the biting cold wind is a bit unbearable for ordinary people.

Chi Ping could occasionally hear noises coming from the building. When he teleported over with a space jump, he found that cute little animals had built their nests in the abandoned city.

They moved between the corners of buildings and the gaps between broken furniture, staring with their big round eyes at the two-legged monster that suddenly appeared.

Since meeting was fate, Chi Ping picked up some wood and skewered some delicious-looking things to grill.

The wood crackled in the flames, and the meat, roasted in the flames, gave off a greasy aroma.

Being warm and full is a rare luxury in today's environment.

But the sudden appearance of flames and the smell of meat in this deserted city was not a good thing.

The monster lurking in the darkness saw Chi Ping for the first time, and its huge vertical pupils rolled, and saliva had spread to the corners of its mouth.

"It's a pity that I didn't bring any seasoning."

Chi Ping muttered to himself that the thing being roasted was a hoofed animal, and judging from its appearance, it should be some kind of sheep.

Then, he felt a huge shadow covering him from behind.

The wind behind him suddenly died down considerably, and Chi Ping glanced back. It was a giant feline, its entire forelimbs muscular, possessing immense explosive power at first glance.

This creature was as tall as two or three stories. There was a primitive bloodlust in its eyes, and its behavior was consistent with the animal's habit of attacking from behind.

Its sharp fangs were as long as a human's forearm. When it opened its mouth, it exhaled a lot of fishy smell.

The beast's breathing made a harsh, wheezing sound. An ordinary person would have been terrified by the sound and smell before they could even turn around.

Its long, thin whiskers trembled slightly in the air, and a huge feline face appeared above Chi Ping's head.

Chi Ping held onto a glimmer of hope and asked, "Can you speak?"

The answer to Chi Ping was a huge beast paw!

Its claws were extremely sharp, and when they scratched the iron road sign, it was cut into several pieces in an instant.

And the next second, the attack hit Chi Ping's right arm.

"You can speak—" Chi Ping's words have activated the [Ruins Traveler]. If it has human intelligence, it should be able to understand the converted language.

Before Chi Ping could finish his words, another claw slashed at his left shoulder.

"do you speak--"

Another claw pierced Chi Ping's neck.

"You will—"

This time it went straight for Chi Ping and bit half of his body into its mouth.

"What the hell!"

Ike Ping was getting annoyed by the constant interruptions. He grabbed the feline's fangs with both hands, then yanked, twisted, and swung them!
The huge cat fell on its back and was thrown several times by Chi Ping, and then its fangs were pulled out.

Even so, the big cat could only whimper a few times and could not utter complete sentences.

Only then did Chi Ping believe that it wasn't hiding its incompetence or being modest, but simply a wild beast. The only good news was that under Chi Ping's training, this creature was able to understand some simple commands.

For example, "run", "stop" and so on.

Then, not long after, a big cat was seen running in the wilderness.

There was blood coming out of the corner of the big cat's mouth. There was a person above the big cat's head, looking at a map looted from the city.

"How to find this?"

The map was in tatters, but that was enough. Some of the landmarks had collapsed or been destroyed. The big cat ran and stopped, while Chi Ping rubbed his teeth at the tattered map.

But at that moment, the cat beneath Chi Ping's crotch suddenly let out a shrill cry. It quickly assumed a defensive stance, its golden body rising to its full height, its front paws lowered, revealing the muscular outline of its back.

what's the situation?
Chi Ping's mind was completely on the map, and this time he looked in the direction of the big cat's roar.

At the end of my sight, I saw a few small dots jumping and tumbling.

After a while, Chi Ping finally saw clearly that three or four strong men were chasing a girl of fifteen or sixteen. The girl's face was red and she was wearing very bulky clothes.

But his feet were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had gotten much closer.

However, the little girl also noticed Chi Ping at this time. She immediately showed a panic expression, as if she was afraid of attracting the enemy to Chi Ping's side.

So, she turned in a "7" shape and ran to the right side of Chi Ping!

The little girl's ability seems to be related to speed. Every time she jumps high, a layer of blue film will form under her armpits, allowing her to glide for a distance in the air.

This cycle repeated itself, and he finally put some distance between himself and Chi Ping.

Sure enough, the pursuers also changed direction.

The little girl felt a little relieved, but she couldn't relax too much at this moment. After all, the deadly danger was still there.

Her speed at this moment has already caught up with a high-speed car. Even in the entire fortress, her speed is ranked among the best!
Then she heard a voice:
"You can talk, right?"

The sound was right next to her ear, and she was startled! When she turned her head, she saw a big cat being dragged on the ground.

There are monsters!
