A few days later, they found some car parts. Those parts were sandwiched between the gaps between the tree roots, and were covered with moss. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't find them at all.
It seems that the Automobile Valley shown on the map is nearby.
The two continued to move forward. In the afternoon, they separated from a bush and the front suddenly became clear. Mountains of scrapped cars appeared in front of them. The frames were rickety and rusty, the wheels and various parts were everywhere, and the hoods were covered with moss and vines.
Compared with current vehicles, the appearance of these cars tends to be more streamlined, like a shuttle that is narrow at both ends and wide in the middle. It follows that these cars were not manufactured on the native world, but were dumped from space debris.
The multifarious universe is vast and endless, with countless planes, countless civilizations, and countless human worlds.
The world fragments hidden here are probably from the human industrial civilization plane that is relatively similar to the local world civilization system.
Chen Xing followed Aaliyah, looking at the scrapped cars at his feet as he walked, and finally raised his doubts: "With such obvious characteristics of world fragments, the distance is not too far, why has no one explored it?"
Due to Aaliyah's presence, the extremely dangerous trip to the Black Death Forest has turned into a summer camp for the Boy Scouts. Any powerful mutant creature is like a kitten or puppy in front of her. Once he meets someone, he either runs away or lies on the ground unable to get up.
However, Chen Xing III was a man who knew the importance of being careful when sailing a ten thousand year boat. He could not relax his vigilance at any time. In the wild, accidents might happen at any time.
"Not surprising~" Aaliya kicked off a wheel and said disapprovingly, "For large organizations, a civilization with similar technology is not worth exploring. Rather than wasting time here, it is better to explore other places. And for large organizations, it is better to explore other places instead of wasting time here. It’s too difficult for a small organization.”
Chen Xing didn't answer, which seemed to be his acquiescence to Aaliyah's statement.
Next, the two walked around the car ruins for more than half an hour, but found nothing worth paying attention to.
There are so many used cars here, they are densely packed and stacked on top of each other, like undulating mountains.
"It seems good to open a scrap iron recycling factory here." Looking at the car ruins stretching for several kilometers, Chen Xing suddenly had a whim and sighed.
"Unless you can afford to hire me as a guard." Aaliyah poured cold water on him.
"That's right..." Chen Xing didn't refute this time, just sighed, "If I can afford you to be a guard, why open a factory?"
"If you don't open a factory, what do you want to do?" Aaliyah asked.
"Of course I will conquer the world." Chen Xing grinned and said. To be able to afford a king-level strongman as a bodyguard is either to be rich enough to rival the country or to be powerful enough. Goals and ideals must naturally match them.
"Haha~" Aaliyah laughed so hard that she was obviously very satisfied with his answer. But in the blink of an eye, her face turned cold again, "Am I strong? How do you know that if you can afford to hire me as a guard, you can conquer the world?"
The ruby-like eyes shone with a strange light, which made Chen Xing feel the cold air coming from behind.
Still thinking about how to answer, she took another step closer, with an unspeakable meaning in her tone, "You seem to know a lot, more than I thought."
"I just said it casually..." Chen Xing looked a little surprised, "I didn't expect you to take it seriously."
"Ah..." This time it was Aaliyah's turn to be choked. Her cheeks felt hot and her ears turned red. Then he twisted his waist and turned around, no longer paying attention to Chen Xing.
"Go and have a look over there." Chen Xing pointed at the tallest car ruins ahead and suggested. The view over there is wide and you can see the surrounding situation clearly.
"Oh~" Aaliya responded lukewarmly, obviously having objections to what Chen Xing just said. However, she was still restrained and did not lose her temper immediately.
As soon as they climbed halfway up the mountain, the two of them noticed something strange. Behind the tallest car ruins, a thousand meters away, there is a large open space.
The middle of the clearing was sunken like a huge cave. Above the crypt, dozens of motorcycles were parked and a tent was set up. Some armed soldiers wearing light gray military uniforms were patrolling the perimeter. From this distance, it looks like small black dots moving one by one.
The moment they saw the camp, the two quickly lay down and observed it carefully.
Aaliyah took out the telescope and was about to look over, but was stopped by Chen Xing, "Be careful with the reflection, it will reveal our position."
"Then what do you think we should do?" Aaliyah asked with a pouted mouth.
"Wait until evening, backlight." Chen Xing whispered.
"Hmph~" Aaliyah took the opportunity to retaliate, "Coward~"
Chen Xing ignored her, found a hidden place and sat down.
"I'm hungry, get me something to eat." Aaliyah crawled over and asked.
"The smoke will be discovered." Chen Xing said seriously. This reason for laziness is very reasonable.
"I don't care, you find a way." Aaliyah said willfully.
"How about a piece of dark chocolate?" Chen Xing asked.
"Don't eat it, it will be bitter." Aaliyah turned her head and refused. These dark chocolates were obtained from the city defenders. In order to prevent the soldiers from eating them as snacks, the sugar content was reduced to a minimum and the taste was very poor.
"Where's the canned meat?" Chen Xing asked again.
"Don't eat it, it's too greasy. I want to lose weight." Aaliyah said with her hands on her hips. Recently, she has gained several pounds by eating wild game every day, and her clothes can no longer hold her.
Chen Xing rummaged around and finally found a lollipop in the side pocket of his backpack. It seemed to be prepared for Su Na, so he threw it in when he set off.
"This is for children." Aaliyah frowned, seemingly dissatisfied, but in the end she tore open the wrapping paper and ate happily.
After dismissing the devil girl, Chen Xing leaned against the back of a car and closed his eyes to rest.
A few hours later, the sun sets. The sun is on their side and behind them, so there is no need to worry about the reflection of the lenses exposing them.
In the telescope, all motorcycles and soldiers have a silver-gray mark.
The symbol consists of two crossed swords. The sword on the right has an iron chain wrapped around the hilt, and the sword on the left has a skull pierced on the sword.
Chen Xing quickly recognized it. It was the symbol of the Silver Knights Guild, and was called the "double cross" by the mercenaries at the bottom.
The Silver Knights Guild is a cross-kingdom and cross-continent organization, composed of wandering nobles who have no territory or have lost their territory. On the Red Earth Continent, the Silver Knight has always had a notorious reputation. On the surface, they have made friends with all the major forces under the banner of justice, but behind the scenes, they are burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil.
The moment he saw the double cross, Chen Xing wanted to retreat. No matter whether the reputation of the Silver Knight Guild was good or bad, it was not something he or the demon girl in front of him could fight against. The Silver Knights Guild is a giant, and it must have gathered many powerful people.
"When it gets dark, we will go around and kill them all." Chen Xing was about to retreat, but Aaliyah spoke first.
"Us?" Chen Xing looked stunned. What's going on? Does she not want to live?
"There must be something good in there, otherwise these stink beetles wouldn't come." Aaliyah explained.
"What will we do next?" Chen Xing asked. Even if they succeed in robbing the Silver Knights Guild, they will be hunted all over the world in the future.
"Isn't it enough to just silence me?" Aaliyah tilted her head as if looking at a fool.
"If you want to go, go alone and don't drag me along." Chen Xing said angrily.
"Okay, you can go back by yourself~" Aaliyah said with a half-smile.
Chen Xing's face turned dark immediately, and he asked him to go back alone, fearing that he would be swallowed by the mutated creature as soon as he walked out of the car valley. You know, even the giant rock bear you met at the beginning could kill half of the Orchid Town team. Letting him go alone would be the same as sending him to death.
Aaliyah's eyebrows were slightly curved, her voice was teasing, and she urged, "Hurry up, your mother Ye Yang is waiting for you to go back to breastfeed~"
