The system handed me over to the state.

So, after seeing the village in the distance, Ni Lei got out of the car to gather intelligence, while Zhan Yan leaned back in the back seat, turned to look at Bronya who was resting with her eyes closed, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Doctor, why did you come to participate in this reconnaissance mission?"

“If I hadn’t participated, you would have all died in this world last night.”

The first sentence he uttered immediately silenced Zhan Yan. Indeed, if it weren't for the doctor's intervention last night, the two who rushed forward would have been killed by such a laser weapon, even if the enemy fired randomly, as long as it hit a part of their body.

They don't have any equipment or tools to defend against lasers.

"Doctor, what's your opinion on this world? Why do you think they have lasers? And it's one thing for us in China to have them, but why do those little devils have them too?"

The performer was very puzzled. What exactly happened in this world? Why did this happen?

Where did those laser rifles come from?

"There are only two possibilities: either these laser weapons were given to humanity by a higher civilization, and every country has them, or that extraterrestrials exist in this world and are interfering with the normal development of humanity on Earth."

"The second is the ruins... There was once a more glorious civilization on this earth, with energy technology, but it was just conventional weaponry. They just perished for some reason, and the ruins they left behind have now been unearthed."

"Naturally, these 'conventional' standard weapons have become the standard equipment in today's world."

Bronya opened her eyes, her pale blue pupils still calm as still water. "Be prepared, we may see even more unexpected and illogical things next."

"Holy crap... I can't even imagine what's going to happen next... Gundam?"

"It might be a floating warship."

Bronya chuckled, and Zhan Yan helplessly spread his hands. If that's the case, it's too terrifying... They already had floating warships and laser rifles in the old era. If this continues to develop, what will become of them?

After that, the two didn't talk much more. Bronya closed her eyes, while Zhan Yan observed the surrounding environment through the binoculars that came with the car.

About two hours later, a car next to the performance suddenly pulled up, and when I turned around, I saw Ni Lei standing there. "Holy crap! What are you doing here all of a sudden?"

"Huh? I activated invisibility. Just now, the invisibility was effective for us as a precaution. Look, we're lucky. There's a Shenzhou military unit from this world stationed in that town. I infiltrated and took a picture of their tactical map."

Ni Lei showed her the photos he had taken, and Bronya opened her eyes. When she saw the map, she was stunned for a moment. "This...isn't right? The Soviet Union? Why are the Soviet Union's territories marked in the same color as ours?"

"Because this world's Shenzhou includes not only the territories of our world, but also the entire Soviet Union. When I was gathering intelligence in that small town, I saw Russians who spoke fluent Chinese, and even a blonde Russian girl. Can you believe it?"

Ni Lei said he is no longer surprised or surprised by anything in this world, and he no longer knows how to describe this chaotic world.

The presenter was speechless. This... the old Soviet Union just vanished like that? Did it merge directly with China?

And the Russians speak fluent Chinese; how long ago was this merger?!

What do these markings on the map mean?

At this moment, Bronya suddenly noticed something strange about the map. Instead of the usual strategic arrows or tactical markers, the map used blue dots, and white markings could be faintly seen on the blue dots.

“I don’t know, but according to them, this mark seems to be some kind of ‘ruins’. It should be related to your previous guess, Doctor. Those laser rifles were obtained from these ruins. I also heard them mention that ‘Gundam’ is on its way here because there is an unexplored ruin nearby.”

"That Japanese team was just the vanguard; there were follow-up troops. They wanted to seize the ruins first and use them as a front-line stronghold to expand their territory in China."

The performer's facial expressions had become numb...

"...Is it...Gundam?"

Bronya muttered somewhat doubtfully, while Ni Lei shrugged, "I don't know, that's what I heard them say, so what's next for us is..."

"Let's go to the ruins!"

Bronya made the decision without hesitation.

"Go to the ruins first. With my abilities, I can quickly infiltrate and control the entire ruins, and then analyze the origins of these ruins. That way, we'll know what's going on with the distorted technology in this world."

"Performance, guide the way!"

"Yes, Doctor... I refuse to believe that there is anything in this world that can shock me anymore."

Zhan Yan turned the steering wheel and stepped on the gas, heading towards the nearby ruins under Ni Lei's guidance. The next target: the ruins!

Chapter 344: Relics from the Previous Era

"There are so many people along the way. So, are these ruins from a previous era, like in the Honkai world, or were they left behind by aliens?"

“We’ll find out once we go there. If it was left behind by humans from the previous era, then it explains why people in this world can quickly master laser guns and Gundams. But if it’s aliens, then I think we need to reasonably suspect their motives.”

"Moreover, judging from their primitive search methods and the vast area they covered, it suggests that the connections between each site may have only been marked with approximate locations, without precise coordinates."

"Therefore, we can only conduct a large-scale, carpet search using such primitive methods."

Bronya looked around and saw a large number of soldiers conducting a carpet search on the grassland, digging here and there, leaving almost the entire grassland riddled with holes.

"parking."

Zhan Yan immediately slammed on the brakes, asking in confusion, "Doctor, what's wrong? We're still quite a distance from the gathering marker."

"No need. I doubt they even know the exact location of the ruins themselves. Let's try a different approach."

Bronya stretched out her right hand, and blue light flowed from it, gathering in front of her until it formed a cylindrical device. With a thud, it landed on the ground and quickly unfolded, like a hammer striking the ground, rhythmically thumping.

“Wait a while. Searching bit by bit by digging is too slow. Let’s find their location directly now.”

"The seismic wave detection device can emit extremely low-intensity seismic waves in all directions to detect the existence of nearby underground facilities or equipment. The detection range is 50 kilometers. If we don't find it here, we'll go to another place to detect it."

Zhan Yan and Ni Lei exchanged a glance. This thing is pretty impressive. Was it developed by the government? Or is it the technology from that civilization package?

The two were soldiers within the research institute, and they only had a superficial understanding of these secrets. They knew where these things might come from, but they didn't know their specific functions or names. That was roughly their situation.

A few minutes later, Bronya checked the device again and gave the results.

"We're lucky. There's a huge metal structure deep underground about 10 kilometers away from here. If nothing unexpected happens, that should be it."

"Alright, let's try a different approach."

Bronya folded up the jeep next to her and summoned Bunny. Bunny looked at Bronya as if asking, "Are you sure?"

Bronya nodded and placed her hand on the bunny's chest. "Thank you for your hard work."

The little rabbit nodded, and used its ability to construct another set of arms behind its back. The four arms transformed into drills, and it began drilling a hole directly into the ground. Bronya turned to look at the four people behind her. "Come on, I'll hide this hole for now. After we leave, we can leave it to the army of Shenzhou in this world."

After using a drone to cover the pit with holographic images, the three followed the digging rabbit and moved quickly forward. Half an hour later, when they heard the clanging of metal coming from in front of the rabbit's drill, they all knew they had arrived.

The little rabbit expanded the surrounding space, and its own oxygen-generating device began to operate at low power. Bronya stepped forward, reached out and placed her hand on the metal. She couldn't analyze it; it was a metal that didn't exist in their world. In other words, it was very likely a product of aliens.

So Bronya stopped analyzing the metal material and had the bunny switch modes. The drill bit turned into four laser circular saws and began cutting the material in front of it.

Ten minutes later, after Little Rabbit punched through the circular metal plate in front of her, the ruins opened their doors to the three of them.

Contrary to expectations, there was no draft; in fact, Bronya even smelled a very pungent metallic odor coming towards them.

"Did you all bring gas masks?"

"Yes, we have the complete set. Do you need any replacements?"

"No need, a simple gas mask will suffice. The smell here is a bit pungent, and there's no guarantee it won't cause any long-term health problems or harm, so it's better to be on the safe side."

Bronya wiped her face with her hand, and a white and blue futuristic-looking breathing filter covered her mouth. Zhan Yan and Ni Lei also took out their gas masks and put them on. After Xiao Tu went in first to confirm that it was safe, the three of them entered.

However, as soon as they landed, the three looked up and were immediately stared at by a spherical robot emitting blue light. Zhan Yan and Ni Lei subconsciously raised their weapons and aimed them at the sphere in front of them. Before they could even react, two beams of light shot out and hit the shotguns in their hands.

In an instant, the rifle turned into silvery-white powder and flowed down from his hand.

The two were stunned. Bronya frowned slightly. "Don't show hostility. This is the guardian of the ruins."

Of course, she guessed that the other party had only disarmed them but did not attack them, indicating that the other party had no hostile intentions and was only doing so for security protection.

Moreover, their real fighting power doesn't lie in the weapons they wield.

"Explain?"

Bronya asked the floating spherical robot in front of her a question. The metal plates on both sides of the spherical robot unfolded, revealing something like a scanner that wanted to scan Bronya. But the next second, the robot was grabbed by the bunny and held tightly in the middle of the spherical robot.

With her other two arms clamping down from above and below, Bronya stepped forward, her eyes flashing with data streams as she began to hack into the spherical robot in front of her.

A few minutes later, Bronya took a step back, and Little Bunny crushed the spherical robot in her hand into a pair of scrap metal. "Alright, we've got the map of the inside of the ruins. Let's go to the core."

Zhan Yan and Ni Lei were stunned for a moment, "Doctor, our weapons..."

"It's alright. I've already gained control of the ruins. We can go directly to the core area. There won't be anything that will attack us along the way."

The two exchanged a glance, then pulled out their pistols from their waists, gripped them tightly, and walked on either side of Bronya.

Bronya said helplessly, "There's no need..."

"Doctor, just to be on the safe side."

"...Do as you please, keep going. Little Rabbit, you go ahead first."

Little Rabbit nodded and left the three of them first. Bronya led the two of them into the ruins, but since they were in a passageway with nothing around them except for the dark blue metal walls, Zhan Yan couldn't resist his curiosity and asked, "Doctor, what exactly is this ruin used for?"

Chapter 345: Dragon Civilization

"This was left behind by a previous civilization, and specifically for Earthlings. Its purpose was to provide weapons facilities. Think about it, would a previous civilization leave weapons facilities for future humans on Earth with good intentions?"

Ni Lei immediately realized that the people of the previous civilization had left behind weapons and facilities for humanity. These powerful weapons would allow humans to easily defeat their opponents, and the more weapons and facilities they collected, the more territory and power they could obtain.

This would only fuel a war frenzy of internal strife among humanity.

At that time, all of humanity will begin to excavate ruins and fight for territory. Moreover, due to the appearance of ruins, the development of human technology will stagnate, especially in terms of weaponry.

Since all the weapons used were more powerful ones from inside the ruins, there was no need to develop new weapons.

"Do the people of the previous civilization intend to rise from their coffins one day and reap the rewards of human civilization? Do they want to use their superior and more effective technology to completely paralyze human technological development, and then descend to reap the rewards when the time comes?"

"It might not be about harvesting; it could also be about wanting to help?"

The performance, however, had a slightly different idea from Ni Lei's: "Perhaps it was intended to help human development in the future, but it ended up like this, didn't it?"

Bronya turned and glanced at the two of them. "They're about the same, both are possible. We'll only be able to get the specifics once we reach the core data area."

Through that spherical robot, in the core data area, there is information left by the owner of this relic to those who come. After reading the information, they will be able to know what these relics were left behind for.

The passageways inside the ruins were extremely complex and vast. It took half an hour of wandering around inside before we finally arrived at the so-called core data area.

The core data area is enormous, with the overall space resembling a cylindrical, open area. Six massive, seemingly endless pillars stand tall within this area.

At the center of the pillar, a blue sphere of light floats, surrounded by streams of light like data, forming rings.

The chaotic data inside made the two feel dizzy. Bronya stepped forward, and Little Rabbit, who had already arrived, had finished reading the core data and released the important information to the three of them.

A human figure suddenly formed on the top of the sphere of light. As they gazed at it, its shape, clothing, and appearance gradually took shape. Finally, what was presented to them was a female dragon with dragon horns, a dragon tail, and dragon wings.
