Chapter 193 Peach Blossom Spring

Li Jiu and the others tried to dissuade Mo Yu from going, but he insisted, so Li Jiu had no choice but to lead the team himself.

A dozen or so people approached the camp together.

This place has been abandoned for a long time; the tents have collapsed, and there are large patches of dried black blood on the ground.

Tragic events have occurred here.

They searched the entire camp but found no remains.

A mixed-race man knelt on the ground, screaming and yelling wildly, while others tried to calm him down and comfort him. In the end, he burst into tears.

Mo Yu had heard about this mixed-race man; he joined the expedition team to find his wife, who had gone missing in the advance team.

The advance team is all dead.

Even the body couldn't be found.

Mo Yu carefully examined the surroundings but found no signs of battle. Judging from the distribution of bloodstains, most of the advance team members were killed in the tents, dragged away, and finally disappeared at the camp entrance.

No useful clues were found; only some of the advance team's belongings were recovered. The group returned to the tunnel entrance to discuss their next steps.

Mo Yu listened in but did not offer any opinion.

Finally, the expedition team sent out two cars, with a total of eight people, into the tunnel.

The others waited where they were.

About 30 minutes later, the walkie-talkie rang.

"Report: The team has passed through the tunnel safely without being ambushed. We have entered the other side of the mountain. This side is a large basin, where the fog is thin and there are many ancient building complexes."

Hearing the message coming from the walkie-talkie, everyone perked up.

Li Jiu shouted, "Stay put, we're on our way!"

The remaining personnel were divided into two groups and passed through one after the other.

Mo Yu and Elise were in the later batch.

We sat in the car and entered the tunnel.

Mo Yu activated night vision to observe the environment outside the window.

The tunnel was dilapidated and in disrepair, with no trace of vegetation. The air was cold and damp, carrying a smell of rust and earth.

The tunnel was long, and after two turns, the lights ahead came on.

It wasn't just ordinary bright; it was extremely dazzling.

"That's...sunlight! It's sunlight!"

Those with good eyesight saw the situation at the cave entrance and began to shout.

Cheers erupted inside the car.

Since the sky opened up, the sun has not been seen for ten years. Even on the best days, there is only a faint shadow in the sky.

Sunbathing is a luxury.

The only good news is that the haze will also absorb the sun's heat, keeping the world in a warm state and stabilizing the climate.

If the haze reflects the sun, ten years would be enough time for the entire world to freeze over.

Li Jiu yelled into the walkie-talkie, "Slow down! Slow down! Get used to the sunlight!"

Several cars slowed down and slowly entered the sunlight, the dazzling light making it impossible to open one's eyes.

Although Elise is not afraid of sunlight, the glare still makes her uncomfortable, and she needs to become human to resist the sun's corrosive effects.

Mo Yu had already thought of this.

Upon seeing the sunlight, he took out a parasol from his hiding place and handed it to Elise.

Elise took the parasol, paused for a moment, and then, taking advantage of the others' inattention, leaned in and kissed Mo Yu's cheek, whispering:

"Thanks husband."

Mo Yu scratched his head, feeling a strange sensation.

The car stopped.

Everyone got off the bus, cheering and shouting, opening their arms to embrace the sunshine. The crowd was a bit crazy, and there were many strange behaviors, such as taking off their pants to sunbathe their genitals.

Mo Yu got out of the car, turned around and gentlemanly took Iris's small hand, helping her out of the car. The two then walked forward hand in hand.

The exit is on a hillside.

Looking ahead, the mountain ranges on both sides extend towards the horizon and disappear into the horizon, with no end in sight, but it is not difficult to deduce that this is a giant mountain basin.

There is almost no haze here. The sun shines brightly, and the land is lush and green, full of vitality.

It's hard to imagine that in this death mountain range shrouded in gray fog, there exists such a paradise, unpolluted by the fog, undisturbed by star worms, teeming with life, and where flocks of birds can be seen flying.

Mo Yu immediately understood why the sign had the words "Peach Blossom Spring" written on it.

In this apocalyptic era, this place truly is a paradise.

Elise, with her eyes closed, held up a parasol and enjoyed the breeze blowing from the basin.

A cool breeze, carrying the fragrance of earth and grass, gently lifted the girl's long golden hair and skirt, mingling with her natural scent and entering Mo Yu's nostrils.

Mo Yu took a few deep breaths and then squinted to observe.

His current eyesight allows him to see clearly from over ten kilometers away without binoculars.

In the distance lies a vast abandoned city, a landscape of ruins and crumbling walls, with vibrant green ivy covering the collapsed structures, concealing them beneath a verdant backdrop. In the central area stand numerous skyscrapers, like towering stone pillars, standing firm in their place.

In addition to the green vegetation, Moyu also saw vast expanses of white flower fields.

These flower fields are irregularly distributed and scattered throughout the basin.

There is no blood-text warning.

He thought about what had happened last night.

This area is definitely not simple.

The entire expedition team sat down to rest, enjoying the sunshine and scenery, and their tense nerves finally relaxed.

A moment later, the managers gathered together, and Mo Yu was also invited to attend the meeting.

Gula exclaimed excitedly, "This place is amazing! It's a paradise on earth! We could move Hope City here!"

Li Jiu shook his head and said, "We must not be careless. The surrounding mountains blocking the gray fog can be explained, but how do we explain the sky?"

Old Master Miao said, "Xiao Jiu is right. We must be cautious. Let's explore this area first."

Shirakawa Ki pointed into the distance and said, "Look in that direction, isn't it brighter than other places?"

Shirakawa Ki pointed in another direction. Although he couldn't see anything there, the horizon was noticeably brighter, as if something was glowing.

After a heated discussion, the final conclusion was that...
Go to the city first.

The expedition team's goal was to uncover the technology, heritage, and human history of lost ancient cities, which are obviously easy to find within cities.

The team still has plenty of supplies, enough to sustain them for a month. Moreover, judging from the environment here, there's a high probability they can find food supplies, and there are birds flying in the sky.

The convoy started and drove down the hillside.

Soon, the road ahead was blocked by a sea of ​​white flowers, which stretched into the distance, seemingly without end.

The first car came to a stop.

To encounter such beauty again amidst the apocalyptic atmosphere of ten years ago is too precious to disturb.

Mo Yu jumped out of the car to observe.

After seeing the white area from above, he became suspicious. Upon closer inspection, he was certain that the white sea of ​​flowers was indeed a series of dream flowers.

Similar to last night's situation.

These dream flowers are illusions and will not be marked on the panel, but they still have a hypnotic effect.

Mo Yu jumped out of the car, ran to the nearest flower bush, and squatted down to check it.

Untouchable.

The flowerbed is so lush that the roots underneath are not visible at all.

If the convoy rashly enters, the only outcome will be total annihilation.

Shirakawa Ki plunged into the sea of ​​flowers and rolled around in it, only to get covered in dirt and unable to touch anything. She screamed, "These flowers are fake!"

Everyone was shocked and rushed over to check, confirming the abnormality of the flower field.

The female members of the group were all disappointed. While everyone was discussing the abnormality of this sea of ​​flowers, Shirakawa Ki, who had entered first, collapsed on the spot, fell asleep with her butt sticking up, and was breathing evenly.

"Shirakawa Ki, Shirakawa Ki?! What are you doing?"

A mixed-race woman tried to approach and wake Shirakawa Ki, but she quickly lay down and fell asleep as well.

Only then did everyone become extremely alert.

They all left the sea of ​​flowers.

At this moment, Elise appeared. The vampire beauty held a black parasol with white trim in one hand and slowly descended from it, explaining in a calm voice, "This is the Flower of Dreams."
