"Silver Flash?"

Su Xian nodded slightly, her expression somewhat solemn, and said, "That's right, if I'm not mistaken, this bus should be the one known as the Silver Flash."

"It's a vehicle that appeared in the Ruined City."

"That's why I said Instructor Yu is no ordinary person, because this Silver Flash should have disappeared a few years ago, but it's reappearing here now."

"Furthermore, I suspect this training will take place in the Ruined City."

Li Chen was slightly surprised.

They had previously experienced the Heart-Questioning Road of the border region and knew just how dangerous it truly was.

And what kind of scenery do those cities offer?

Before the two could continue their conversation, a mechanical, artificial voice sounded from inside.

[Location: Northern "Ruined City" - Depart Now]

[Please hold onto the handrails.]

With a loud "bang," the entire bus sped off in an instant.

At that very moment, the light-sensitive wall next to Li Chen, which had been sealed off, began to slowly rise, like a glass window at both ends.

The view outside was unobstructed.

Li Chen was somewhat surprised. The bus was indeed fast. The scenery outside was rushing past, and before he could even see it clearly, it was already far away.

"That's fast."

Not only Li Chen, but Su Xian also showed a hint of surprise.

This undoubtedly demonstrates just how capable the person who built such a bus was.

If this vehicle existed in Shenzhou or the Imperial Capital, countless people would be scrambling to buy it.

Yu Qingnian, sitting at the very front, smiled.

"This guy, it seems something must have happened at the border."

"However, he has been improving this Silver Flash more and more."

Border.

Ruined City.

A city with incredibly advanced high technology.

However, it's almost entirely filled with robots; there aren't many humans here.

A man wearing a white lab coat and black glasses, his face somewhat pale, still managed a smile.

"That Yu Qingnian, he's really getting the benefits and then acting innocent."

"But he brought his students with him, shouldn't I prepare some gifts?"

Just then, a slightly cute little girl's voice came from beside him.

"Lord Main Brain, should we go and meet Lord Yu later?"

The man did not appear to be looking in the direction of the sound.

"No need, he knows the way."

"Go and open the southern gate of the Ruined City."

"I still have to deliver this gift, even if it means luring some Eerie Monsters into the Ruined City."

After a pause, the little girl's voice rang out from the side.

"Yes, Lord Main Brain."

Before I knew it, night was beginning to lighten.

This means the sun is about to rise.

The red moon began to slowly set.

The silver bus, like a flash of light, continued to speed by.

[Passengers, we are about to arrive at the "Ruined City" location.]

[Please wake up the person next to you; be ready to attack at any time.]

"Impact? What the hell?" Li Chen opened his eyes slightly. He had been traveling all night and had rested for a long time.

He was woken up by this sound, and the message he received upon waking left him completely bewildered.

At this moment, Su Xian, who was standing to the side, held a cup of coffee in her hand and did not seem worried.

Boom!

Boom!

A tremendous crash resounded as the bus, like a rampaging bull, smashed through anything that stood in its way.

But surprisingly, not a single ripple was stirred inside.

There wasn't even any shaking.

Li Chen looked out the window and could already see the outline of the city.

"Ruined City..."

What was supposed to be a dilapidated city turned out to be a highly technologically advanced city in his eyes.

He even saw many large construction robots working in the skies above the city.

Everything was like magic.

At this point, the bus also began to slow down.

Yu Qingnian, who was sitting in the front row, stood up and announced, "We've arrived."

"This is the Ruined City where you will be training for the next month."

"Located at Ruined Pass, one of the Four Great Passes in the north."

"..."

Li Chen silently murmured to himself.

Just as he had expected, this training exercise took place in the Ruined City.

This is the closest place to the Ruined Pass. The last time we encountered the Illusionary Dawn Pass, many people already knew how terrifying the border was.

But now that they have come to the checkpoint in person, none of their trainees are without fear.

However, a few people appeared somewhat excited.

This is one of the most important checkpoints for the Human Race!

They actually managed to train here.

"I never expected to arrive here this way." Li Chen looked indifferently at the technologically advanced city.

After his last Dawn Pass, he had the idea that he would visit those passes someday.

But now it's almost here.

While the trainees were discussing, Yu Qingnian frowned.

"Huh? Why are there Eerie Monsters around here?"

"Didn't that guy clean up the outside properly?"

Just as he was wondering, a red light began to flash inside the bus, and a mechanical voice sounded.

[Eerie Monsters detected outside the vehicle; vehicle activated defensive mode.]

[Start Call Center Support]

In an instant, several Silver Flash came to a stop in the desert, and a faint light screen popped out from the vehicles.

Yu Qingnian silently took a step forward.

Just as he stepped out of the car, ready to make a move, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"I almost fell for that guy's trick."

"Fine, let's see how much these little guys have improved."

He turned to look at Li Chen and the others, and said solemnly, "The training shall now begin."

"The Eerie Monsters appearing outside are now your responsibility to clean up."

"Of course, your own life is the most important. If things go wrong, immediately return to the light screen on the bus."

As he finished speaking, the bus door slowly opened.

The outside world was revealed to everyone.

Li Chen nodded slightly and looked at Su Zhe and Jianping.

Neither of them asked any further questions and followed Li Chen off the bus.

Almost all the trainees came down; they didn't want to be laughed at by others, and they were even afraid of Eerie Monsters.

Keep in mind that they had already begun to encounter Eerie Monsters while still in the Secret Realm.

Although those Eerie Monsters weren't very dangerous.

After getting off the bus.

Yellow sand was flying everywhere.

Li Chen frowned slightly, not expecting the environment near the border to be so harsh.

It is virtually impossible for humans to survive here.

But it is precisely in such an environment that a technological city has been established.

How incredible!

But before he could even sigh, a series of roars rang out.

Outside the light screen, countless dark eyes were watching the group.

Because the sky is still dark.

Those eyes were like bright light bulbs, chilling to the bone.

Roar~

Only a roar was heard.

Instantly, several sounds crashed against the light screen.

Bang!

Only at this moment did they truly see what kind of monster it was.

These Eerie Monsters heads were located on their chests, but their eyes were on their hands, and their bodies were covered with several sharp claws that were constantly attacking the light barrier.

Moreover, each of these Eerie Monsters looks completely different.

Meng Xi, standing to the side, rubbed her lips and muttered, "That's disgusting."
