After almost an hour, at around 9:30, He Ao saw a small platform floating on the sea, and the three yachts were getting closer and closer.
The platform undulates along with the waves, while He Ao's eyes are looking into the distance.
At the end of the field of vision, there were obviously several ships similar to warships cruising.
"That must be Western Nations's ship."
Orator He took out a monocular telescope from somewhere and stretched it to look into the distance.
West Land is located to the west of Central Land. It is a subcontinent that is about two-thirds of the area of Central Land. There are dozens of countries on that continent, who split the soil and sealed kings to conquer each other.
From Dongtu to West Land, if you take the land route, you have to cross a continuous desert area.
When He Ao was very young, he thought that if there were Central Land and West Land in the world, then there must be southern soil, northern soil, and eastern soil.
But the fact is that there are only Central Land and West Land in this world.
Central Land got its name because of an old saying:
The four directions above and below are the universe, the past and present are the universe, and the earth is in it, so it is called Central Land.
This sentence actually reflects the ancients' simple understanding of the universe:
I am the center of the universe.
West Land is named because it is located to the west of Central Land.
To the east of Central Land is the vast sea.
In fact, Central Land includes all places suitable for human habitation within a certain range into the national territory.
To the east is the vast ocean, to the south are towering mountains and plateaus, to the north are thousands of miles of ice fields, and to the west are deserts and Gobi inhabited by humans and animals.
For the ancients, this was almost the largest territory that their productivity could occupy. Similarly, Central Land is also the largest country in the world.
After entering modern times, with the prosperity of shipping, Central Land gradually became aware of the existence of West Land.
"Oh, it's not Western Nations's ship, it's Tia Empire's ship."
Orator put away the telescope, "That's right, this is closer to their territorial waters."
The continent where Tia Empire is located was a land discovered only after the Age of Navigation began. Its area is about one-half of that of Central Land. This continent is neither close to West Land nor to the east.
Tia Empire claims to be part of West Land, but is not accepted by the established powerhouse of West Land.
"They must be cruising nearby and have some ideas about our Ruins," Orator chuckled, "But things on the high seas belong to whoever discovers them first. If we discover them first and have big fists, they can't do anything to us."
He Ao slowly withdrew his gaze and said nothing.
The yacht quickly approached the platform, and everyone in small assault boats began to log onto the platform.
He Ao The moment he stepped onto the platform, a faint call sounded in his heart.
This call seemed to be some kind of mechanical signal, which was intermittent and could not convey a complete message. However, He Ao had a vague realization in his heart. This realization seemed to be some unknown existence whispering in his ear.
There is a passage that will be opened here soon.
Just in the sky.
He Ao raised his head and looked at the clear blue sky.
At the same time, everyone raised their heads and looked at the blue sky.
A flash of light obscured He Ao's sight.
"This time it's ten minutes early."
Yang De stood on the cruise ship, raised his hand and looked at his watch, "Fortunately we arrived early."
"Ruins is unstable every time it is turned on."
Liu Zhengyun slowly walked out from behind him and looked at the empty platform.
"I heard that your daughter also went in? Is she awakened? She's not level E yet, right?"
Yang De lit a cigarette and bit it on his mouth.
"She chose it herself. She is an adult and can decide her own destiny." Liu Zhengyun turned and walked towards the depths of the yacht.
Gu Bang
"If she died inside, it can only be said that her life was bad. If she couldn't survive Ruins, she wouldn't be able to survive in this changing world. This world will only become more and more dangerous."
Seagulls fly across the sky, taking away the wind's confusion.
——
When He Ao's vision slowly recovered, what he saw was the blue sky.
In this sky, three shining suns shine on the earth at the same time.
According to the information on Research Institute, these three suns are not stars, but three light-emitting devices running in the orbit of the dwarf planet Ruins.
He Ao picked up the telescope and looked at the sky.
I couldn't see anything, I just felt the sun was a bit dazzling.
He also sneezed.
I don't know what equipment Research Institute used to observe the body of Three Suns.
The flowing breath poured into his nasal cavity and condensed into a weak force in his chest.
Almost instinctively, He Ao guided these energies to flow through the body and began to practice.
I don't know if it's because the energy concentration of Transcendental in Ruins is higher, or because He Ao's talent is stronger than Regit, but he clearly feels that the energy he gets from breathing at this moment is higher than the energy he gets from Copy World.
He lowered his head and looked around.
A huge tree root crossed the towering skyscraper, fell in front of He Ao, inserted into the thick cement floor, and penetrated deeply into the earth, like a hill.
This root seems to be just an aerial root of a huge tree.
He Ao looked at his feet. Green grass stretched out along the gaps in the road, covering the whole world lushly.
A gust of wind blew by, blowing up these half-meter-high grass.
He Ao looked forward along the direction of the swaying grass.
Under the bright sunshine, a dilapidated and lifeless gray-white city came into view.
Towering trees cross the towering skyscrapers, and the green plants and gray buildings reflect each other.
"Jiligulujirigulu..."
A green robot with a flashing red light that looked like a trash can slid past He Ao.
It uttered an alarm voice that He Ao couldn't understand, and suddenly crashed into the grass, got entangled with the grass, and rolled into the depths of Ruins.
He Ao is actually quite interested in these robots.
Judging from the dilapidation of the city, this city has been abandoned for at least hundreds of years.
During this long period of time, these robots actually still have energy to support their actions. He Ao is very curious about what their energy source is.
However, He Ao temporarily suppressed his curiosity when he thought that if he moved these robots, they might be attacked by a group of people.
When he was about to leave, he would see if he could catch a lone one and take it apart.
While thinking, He Ao carried his Armor-Piercing Shell box with Rocket Launcher hanging on it, bypassing the aerial roots and walking towards the depths of the city.
Since we are exploring, let's just find a place and check it out first.
He Ao quickly followed the road to the edge of the skyscraper next to him. Brilliant The sunshine laid a layer of light in front of him, which seemed to indicate that there was an open area behind the skyscraper.
He Ao continued to move forward, and just when he was about to step into this brilliance, he saw a metal piece with faded color in the grass on the side.
This seems to be a street sign that fell here.
He Ao picked up the street sign, and then he was stunned for a moment.
Finally, he opened his mouth slightly and slowly read the words on the street sign.
Upper···Lin···Middle···Street···
This is the text of Copy World First District···
He Ao raised his head and looked forward.
Now that he was out of the shadow of the building, a huge dark tower piercing into the clouds appeared in his field of vision.
