Only I can make them stronger

While watching, he did see Xia Ye take out a crowbar from Dopli, which must have been hidden somewhere before.

When the young man saw the Shadow Claw’s men coming over late at night to look for Xia Ye, he thought that Shadow Claw must be targeting him.

In this way, that nosy pretty boy will most likely not have a good ending, and he can also get some intelligence fees from Shadow Claw, killing two birds with one stone!

So the young man admired his own foresight and hurriedly stopped Captain Shadow Claw.

"you?"

The team leader narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him.

"Tell me."

"This is information I got with great difficulty. Would you like to... give me some thanks?"

The young man rubbed his fingers with an obscene look on his face.

"You kid! Forget it...200 tower deductions." The team leader wanted to show a fierce look to threaten the other party.

But on second thought, if he could find relevant information, it would be a great achievement, and he might even be promoted by the captain. It would be better to just give him a small amount of money to show his respect.

If the noise is too loud and attracts other members, the credit will probably be snatched away by the squadron leader.

"Okay, okay, the people of Shadow Claw are always quick and efficient!"

The young man happily accepted the 200 yuan and didn't think it was too little.

Anyway, you're getting it for free, so it's better not to offend Shadow Claw too much.

"Go ahead."

"Just yesterday, I saw him go to the Dopley Equipment Store next door, and he had a very pleasant chat with the old forger in that store..."

"Dopli?" Captain Shadow Claw narrowed his eyes and looked towards the nearby store. There was indeed an equipment store with that name.

"What else do you know? Do you know his whereabouts?" he continued to ask.

"You've asked the right person!" the young man replied complacently.

He really knows.

The Clock City is not big, so he, who had been looking for an opportunity to attack Xia Ye, hurriedly followed them when he noticed them driving to leave the Clock City this morning.

Although the result was that he certainly couldn't catch up with Y's wealthy modified off-road vehicle, at least he knew the direction in which Xia Ye and his group were leaving.

"Then tell me quickly!" Captain Shadow Claw was a little impatient and urged quickly.

"They went to the Clock City this morning..."

However, just as the young man was about to tell the story, a sharp red light flashed across the sky without warning and formed a half scarlet crescent around his neck and the neck of Captain Shadow Claw.

There were not many people on the street here, and only Wang Dachui noticed this unusual situation.

At first he thought he was dazzled by staring at the weapon for too long, so he rubbed his eyes.

But when he lowered his hands from his eyes, he found that the two men's heads had rolled to the ground, and blood was gushing out like fountains.

"Oh my god!" Wang Dachui was shocked. He hurried forward and carefully kicked the two bodies away, then closed the door.

The Shadow Claw's men were killed in the street, and he didn't want to be involved in this mess!

Seeing this, Qilisi, who was hiding in the dark, breathed a sigh of relief.

Now no one should know the whereabouts of Xia Ye and the others.

……

Xia Ye, who was far away in the vicinity of the Gear City, didn't know that Qilisi in the Clock City was worried about her.

He was staring at the situation outside the window nervously, not daring to breathe.

Although he did survive, the situation outside was a bit too spectacular.

Except for the area surrounded by metal pillars around them, the rest of the ground within his sight was all glowing with golden light. At the same time, large amounts of white steam rose from the surface, making him feel like he was in a fairyland.

Just by looking at them, one can feel the horribly high temperatures in those places.

If they had really been driving to leave just now, they would have melted halfway.

"What the hell is going on here? Why didn't Canaanzi tell us about such an outrageous thing?"

"Maybe... they didn't encounter it? Or maybe this situation only occurs at night, and their research team went in during the day?"

Jinniel finally recovered from the severe injury with Xia Ye's treatment and said with difficulty.

"Luckily, Fiti reminded us, otherwise we would have been cold before we even got there... oh no, it was cooked."

Xia Ye said with lingering fear.

"Indeed! Little Fiti is our guiding light!" Karen, who had recovered from the shock, regained his energy and said with a smile while putting his arm around Fiti's shoulders.

"Well...no...in the end it was Xia Ye who made the key judgment..." After being praised so much, Fiti blushed a little embarrassedly.

"By the way, Karen, do you think this scene looks familiar?" Xia Ye suddenly asked.

"Looks familiar...Ah! Yes!" Hearing this, Karen looked outside carefully and slapped his forehead.

"Isn't this the same phenomenon that occurs when my ability is activated? High temperature, steam, golden light... Exactly the same!"

"It seems that this place has a lot in common with you. We have come to the right place." Xia Ye took a deep breath.

"I just hope things go more smoothly later on..." Jinelle said weakly.

Normally she would rarely act so embarrassed.

But for some reason, the energy that had seeped into the car just now made her feel very weak all over, and an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness lingered in her heart for a long time.

"By the way, Jinelle, do you recognize this sign?"

Xia Ye suddenly remembered the pattern outlined by the rays from the tips of the metal pillars. He roughly drew it on paper and handed it to the person sitting in the back seat.

"do not know……"

At first glance, Jinelle didn't seem to be impressed, but as she looked more closely, she found it difficult to take her eyes away from the triangle that was constantly differentiating and getting smaller.

“Calculate, iterate, think, act…”

One after another, words of inspiration suddenly rang in her mind, causing her heart to tremble violently.

Jinelle didn't understand the meaning of these words, but she felt an inexplicable sense of belonging from them, as if this was her destiny.

"Ginelle? Ginelle!"

Karen shook her petite body, and the sound of her shouting brought her back from this confused state.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you staring at me?"

"I……"

Jinelle wanted to tell what had happened to her just now, but when the words came to her lips, she found that she could not remember anything.

"Nothing... nothing, I just think this pattern is quite magical..."

60. Welcome to Gear City

The night outside the Gear City was spent in excitement.

The golden light and steam on the ground lasted for a whole night, until dawn rose and the sky turned pale, and then it returned to normal.

Just looking at the ground in the early morning, no one could have imagined that something like that happened last night.

"What a magical phenomenon..." Karen said curiously as he looked around after getting off the car to inspect.

"There are still too few unknown places in the Hill Continent. There is a huge information barrier between those who have the ability to explore these areas and those who are struggling to survive."

After a night's rest, Ginelle slowly returned to normal.

"We can just take a breath and move on. It looks like we are not far away."

Xia Ye looked into the distance and could vaguely see the end of the horizon shining with a brassy luster under the sunlight.

"Let's go." Jinniel nodded and went back to the car first.

……

The SUV drove between the metal pillars and stopped within half an hour.

A brass arch stands in front of us. Outside the arch is a wilderness filled with metal pillars. Inside the arch are slightly dilapidated buildings of various sizes.

From a distance, the style of these buildings makes it difficult to tell their origin. They have the same brass-colored metal texture as the metal columns and arches. There are no windows, only an entrance that looks like an elevator door, but at this moment they are all closed.

"Let's find an inconspicuous place to park the car and walk in, shall we?" Xia Ye roughly estimated that it would feel much less flexible to squeeze an off-road vehicle into the not-so-spacious building complex than to walk.

"If we don't get it done before dark, we'll get back in the car and drive to the safe area we were in before."

"Agree." The others agreed and got out of the car with him.

Then, Xia Ye opened the trunk and released Xiaojiu who had been locked up for several days.

He hadn't paid attention to it for some time and almost forgot about it.

At this moment, Xia Ye looked at Xiao Jiu who had regained life from pretending to be dead, and always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember it all of a sudden.

However, the Gear City was right in front of him, so he didn't think much about it. Instead, he squatted down and said with inspiration:

"You just stay here and if you find anything dangerous or unusual, come in and find us. Do you understand?"

"receive……"

After receiving a positive answer, Xia Ye nodded and stood up.

Afterwards, the group began to walk into the ruins cautiously.

"Although it looks very dilapidated, one can still feel a sense of advanced technology. The original civilization of the Gear City Ruins does not seem to be some kind of primitive civilization."

As Jinniel walked, she analyzed the surrounding buildings.

"Those should be the broken metal pieces that Canaanzi mentioned, which are actually human tissue?"

Xia Ye nodded and looked to the side of a house.

In the corners of the walls, some lumps of khaki-colored metal that looked noticeably duller were clinging to the outer walls of the house like snails. There were also a number of similar things scattered on the ground, and they stood out among the yellow buildings.

"Those things...are they the remains of individuals who look exactly like us..."

Recalling Canaanzi's description, Jinniel and Karen felt mixed emotions.

Perhaps the solution to their mutant genes lies here, and their life stories will soon be revealed, but they don’t feel very excited, only inexplicably sad.

"Don't think about it. No matter what, they have already transformed into that form."

"And the purpose of our trip is to allow you two to live well."

Xia Ye smiled and looked at Karen and Jinniel behind her to comfort them.

"That makes sense. What happens to them has nothing to do with us!"

Upon hearing this, Karen gave Xia Ye a wink.

The promise of "realizing her dream" with the other party is the core reason that motivates her to face all this with full energy.

Xia Ye understood her fierce eyes, smiled helplessly and shook his head, then turned his head to look forward.

He wanted to see what this Gear City was all about.

"According to Canaanzi, their research team found the huge mutant factor cluster at the deepest part, which is also our main goal at the moment..."

As Jinniel was speaking, Anke moved his ears and suddenly reached out to stop everyone.

"what happened?"

"I heard a sound, the sound of the pulley rolling on the ground." Anke looked in a certain direction cautiously.

As a person in the third-order analysis domain, her sense of the surrounding things is stronger than that of others.

"Very quickly, and getting closer!"

Anke raised one hand and quickly assembled the chainsaw on it. Karen and Xia Ye also took their weapons in their hands.

At this time, the maker of the sound turned out from behind a building and came in front of everyone.

This guy has a unicycle lower limb for high-speed movement, and his upper body is a simple and direct cylindrical shape like a brass can. His hands are clasped in front of his chest, and a transparent crystal ball is held in his palms. It seems that the metal palm and the crystal ball are glued together.

The two small green light bulb eyes on the can head stared at the five people coldly, flashing non-stop, as if judging something.

"What do you say now? Kill it?" Karen lowered his body slightly, holding the giant sword in reverse across his waist, ready to charge at any time.
