The fox has no bad intentions

Chapter 375 Greetings to those who came after!

"Master Fuli!"

Entering the underground ruins of the ceramics factory, the tunnel leading to the ruins has been reinforced, with I-beams and some mechanical structures connected together. On the open ground outside the ruins, a dark green "sea-stabilizing needle" stands straight up on the ground.

An Sheng stared in disbelief at the object that appeared to be carrying a weapon of mass destruction.

Is it legal for this thing to stand here?

"Anyway, we weren't planning to use it; we just borrowed it to set up here as a deterrent. After all, we can't possibly understand the enemy's thought process, right? But this thing can alter the enemy's bold ideas."

Wang Qiqi glanced at the missiles that had been set up, and with a nonchalant expression, began to introduce the fully-equipped road-based launch vehicle.

Whether there is anything at the site is another matter.

But we still need to have the right attitude. Besides, diesel isn't worth much. If this thing is placed in front of the ruins, and the person on the other side doesn't have their brain eaten by zombies and doesn't run away when they see it, they really deserve a thumbs up.

"Your door gods are really fierce!"

An Sheng glanced at the launch vehicle, his face full of amazement, and then, following Wang Qiqi's clothes, he climbed onto her shoulder and entered the ruins as if taking a vehicle.

"Yo!"

Sitting in the ruins, Li Wenkang greeted the old man Fuli, who was perched on Wang Qiqi's shoulder.

Before Li Wenkang stood a door made of layers of stacked metal rings, with no opening mechanism or obvious gaps. At that moment, three tracked robots extended their mechanical arms and explored the strange door, as if searching for something.

"There's still one last floor of the main entrance, so you might have to wait a little longer."

Li Wenkang glanced at Wang Ya and the fennec fox, but didn't say anything about their appearance.

"Bena and the others have been working on it for so long and still haven't been able to open the outermost door. How did you open it so quickly?"

An Sheng looked at Li Wenkang and asked.

“They have no experience, while this is not our first time exploring the ruins of the previous era.”

Without turning his head, Li Wenkang said, "These doors, forged from spirit-particle metal, are extremely sturdy, and the most distinctive feature of the creatures from the previous era was that they had no keys."

"Even if there are holes in the door, they are just decorative holes, not keyholes as we understand them. We don't know how they are opened, but during the research process at the Academy of Sciences, we discovered that doors from the last era all had emergency braking devices."

"Once the emergency braking device is found, the door can be opened easily."

Li Wenkang gave a brief explanation of the principle, but he didn't say a word about how to activate the braking device.

Opening the gates of the ruins sounds simple, but it's only easy in theory.

"By the way, there's something I'm wondering if you've taken care of for us."

"A spirit beast, and the opponent is extremely fierce." Li Wenkang saw Master Fuli set up a beach chair, lie down, borrow a laptop to watch dramas, and hold a can of ice-cold cola in his right hand, ready to chug it down. He thought for a moment and then asked.

"Spirit beasts?" An Sheng asked Li Wenkang with a strange expression, "Are there spirit beasts you can't handle?"

“It can be resolved, but I can’t spare the time right now.” Li Wenkang pointed to the round, stacked door.

The humanoid mythical beast in the Bashan sinkhole has completely revealed its form under the lock of the satellite.

It was an enormous mosquito, and it possessed other biological characteristics, not the "Primordial Spirit Beast" that the Security Bureau office director had previously speculated.

That should be a [Specialized Spirit Beast of its Kind], and its strength might be classified as a Guardian-level beast.

Sending the Golden Leopard makes a no-damage speedrun unlikely.

But with the addition of Master Fuli, it becomes very safe.

They surrounded it from the front and back to take pictures.

"Alright, give me your location, I'll go check out what kind of quality they have," Master Fuli said after thinking for a moment.

"The coordinates are there." Li Wenkang took a ruggedized mobile phone out of his leather jacket and tossed it to Master Fuli.

"Ok?"

Master Fuli caught the ruggedized phone, which already displayed a face recording interface. An Sheng looked at Li Wenkang with slight surprise, but said nothing and kept the money safe.

This is a mobile phone used by the security bureau.

It can connect to the security bureau's database. Just by scanning the other person's face like scanning a QR code, it can display on the screen what color underwear they bought.

"Hiss-"

Before Master Fuli could complete the various binding settings for the new phone, the strange metal door made a sound of metal sliding.

A series of circular metal pieces, stacked in a biomimetic structure, move and retract towards the edge of the door frame when opened, creating a circular doorway in front of everyone.

After the circular metal door opened, everyone's eyes turned to the third floor.

To everyone's disappointment, there was nothing unexpected at the very bottom.

There were no documents, no traces of the previous era's spirit particle technology, and nothing resembling a corpse. Descending the rough, ancient metal steps, one came to a structure resembling a conference hall, with an oval-shaped black stone table placed in the center.

As the door opened, the oval black table suddenly changed; a layer of velvety black substance on its surface quickly withered away, revealing a grayish-white texture.

"empty?"

Wang Qiqi was taken aback upon seeing this, her face filled with surprise and uncertainty.

There are some other things on the second layer, and one layer even records the identity of the builder of this site.

But the real core layer is empty?

"No, it's not empty. The surface of that long table is emitting spiritual energy fluctuations."

Li Wenkang rose from the ground and stepped straight into the dusty, enclosed space. He glanced around the circular doorway, where he couldn't see either side. A bottomless ravine stretched out in a circle throughout the conference hall, making the platform that everyone had seen earlier appear to float here.

Li Wenkang walked to the oval table and looked at the withered gray-black substance on the table.

Previously, when observing from a distance, one could only see the desktop color change in an instant.

However, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the change was not in the color of the tabletop, but rather in a layer of fungus covering the long table that quickly withered upon contact with air.

"call--"

Li Wenkang blew a breath toward the location that was emitting obvious spiritual particle fluctuations.

A scorching stream of air swept over the fungus, and a very abstract human handprint appeared on the table. There were holes in the palm and the five fingers, revealing sharp metal objects hidden inside.

Around the palm print were arrows, many pointing towards it, clearly indicating that the creature that entered should place its hand on the palm print.

The security bureau archaeologist who arrived shortly after saw the handprint and whispered something to Li Wenkang.

Li Wenkang's main profession is genetic research; being an honorary principal is just a side job.

In archaeology, his knowledge and experience are certainly not as extensive as those of experts and scholars who make a living from this field.

"Is that right?"

Upon hearing this, Li Wenkang nodded slightly, raised his palm and placed it on the palm print on the table. Suddenly, a sharp blade popped out from the oval table and pierced straight through Li Wenkang's palm.

Li Wenkang's expression remained unchanged as the hot, orange-red blood in his body flowed into the groove.

Orange-red blood flowed into the oval table.

"Den-"

The dead fungus on the table revived, and the entire conference room was illuminated with a soft glow. Specks of fluorescent light shone through the walls, startling the security personnel present.

Hello, newcomers!

"I am very happy to witness the miracle of life happening again on Earth."

From the dark ravine emerged a fleshy, humanoid creature covered in some kind of black slime.

It landed on the platform, and the black substance covering its body receded like a tide, revealing its face.

It has a human-like face, but the back of its head is not a circular structure like that of modern Homo sapiens; instead, it is oval.

Apart from minor differences in their brains, the creature standing before everyone is no different from modern Homo sapiens.

"Click——"

The moment the strange creature appeared, the security personnel present immediately raised their weapons.

"Stop! Stop it! Don't touch it! This is a very precious projection!"

"If it breaks, it's gone!" The archaeologists sent by the Security Bureau shouted loudly, spreading their arms and jumping onto the table to block all the gun barrels.

The technology of the previous Spirit Particle Era was strange; it was both extremely advanced and extremely rudimentary.

They appear to be built on fungi, or perhaps on some kind of genetic technology.

What was advanced was also very backward.

The humanoid creature before them appeared complete, but the archaeologists from the Security Bureau knew that it was merely a shell temporarily formed by the aggregation of fungi.

It contains information about the previous era.

"."

The creature that emerged from the abyss seemed to be able to judge the reactions around it, and simply smiled gently without interfering with the communication between those who came later.

It waited very patiently.
