After harvesting a portion of the energy fruits, Ye Chen left this space. As the protective gate slowly rose up, the silhouettes of his younger sister, Mo Feng and the others appeared before his eyes. They were either standing or sitting, there didn't seem to be too many changes to them. This caused Ye Chen to heave a sigh of relief in his heart. Luckily, the flow of time in this desolate continent wasn't too different from the outside world.
"Brother!" Sister Ye Zhu saw Ye Chen, and her eyes lit up. She rushed over happily. "Are you okay?"
Ye Chen smiled. "This is the core of the ruins. How could there be any danger?" He didn't mention anything about the black-armored robots to avoid worrying them.
"Then what about the energy tree?
Is there really one? "the White Dragon asked curiously.
Ye Chen nodded slightly, glancing at Bai Lan beside him. "How long have I been here?"
Bai Lan's eyes were like water, and she smiled sweetly. "Not long, only half a day. The flow of time here is the same as the outside world. Don't worry."
Ye Chen nodded slightly. "Let's go!"
The group quickly left the underground passage and came to the entrance of the ruins. Ye Chen dialed Xu Tianguo's communicator, but found that he couldn't connect. He frowned slightly, then returned to normal. After all, the ruins belonged to an extradimensional space. No matter how strong the signal reception of Atlantis's communicator was, it couldn't cross over.
Ye Chen walked out of the ruins, and his figure appeared out of thin air on the hill. Not far away, the aftermath of the great battle could still be seen. Blood flowed like a river, and broken swords were everywhere. The afterglow of the setting sun spilled down, and the scene was bleak and desolate.
Ye Chen dialed the communicator, and soon, a joyful voice came from the other side. "Is this the President?"
Ye Chen nodded slightly. "How's the situation in Guang Ming Base City recently?"
Xu Tianguo smiled. "Everything is developing as per normal. Due to the lingering presence of the Demonic Bird Leader and the Purple Scaled Flood Dragon in the base city, many intelligent high-level monsters don't dare to attack the city. Only some low-level monsters often harass the city walls, but they aren't much of a threat."
"What about the exploration of the ruins?"
Ye Chen asked. Before he left, he had handed over the attack plans and coordinates of more than a dozen small relics. He did not know how many he had obtained.
Xu Tianguo's smile widened. "Those coordinates are completely correct. I've sent the superhuman experts from the Superhuman Battalion to take the lead and many powerful people from the Blood God Hall to attack. So far, we've already obtained the treasures of five small relics!
These five ruins belong to the superpower civilization of the first solar era and the fire civilization of the second solar era. The professors and experts of the other three research departments can't tell which solar era they belong to, but according to the characteristics of these three ruins, they named them the rune civilization, the bug civilization, and the Mayan civilization. "
Ye Chen's eyes lit up. He nodded and said, "Not bad. Continue digging."
Xu Tianguo smiled. He did not have the majestic appearance that he usually had in front of many members. "There's another news. Recently, with the establishment of the base city, the siege battle has been very successful. Coupled with the excavation of the ruins, some unique products of the ruins have been circulating in the base city. This has caused China Base City to be somewhat envious of us. They sent people to discuss and prepare to form an alliance."
"Alliance?" Ye Chen frowned slightly. "What are the conditions?"
Xu Tianguo smiled. "The condition is that we can share the manufacturing technology of the relics with them, and we can use the refining factories of the Atlantis civilization to produce them in batches."
Ye Chen nodded. "I can agree."
Although he had been using the refining factories of the Atlantis civilization, after all, it was in the dark. This seemingly generous condition was actually useless. However, Ye Chen still chose to share.
The relics that he asked Xu Tianguo to explore were all small level one and level two relics. The products inside and the things left behind were quite low-level. Even if they were to be manufactured for China Base City, it would not do any harm to the base city.
Moreover, with the energy crystals of China Base City, it was very difficult to manufacture them in large quantities. At most, they could only manufacture a little for the powerful members below.
This time, he had obtained the energy tree. With the energy tree's speed of energy absorption, the refining of these small things was completely endless. He could refine them at will.
If he had extra energy, he could help his country and mankind.
No matter how strong a single tree was, it was still afraid of being destroyed by the wind. On the whole earth, there were countless monsters. Some monsters might have obtained relics at this stage and were secretly building their strength.
Therefore, the stronger China Base City became, the faster it could kill monsters. For Light Base City and even for mankind as a whole, there were only benefits and no disadvantages.
Xu Tianguo nodded slightly. He had known that Ye Chen would agree. He had some understanding of the latter's character. He was not a completely selfish person. This was also the reason why he was willing to follow Ye Chen wholeheartedly.
"I will be back in a few days."
Ye Chen calmly said, "You will build fields in the center of Light Base City to grow rice, wheat, and other food. In the middle, build a protective wall and station soldiers outside. As for the specific method, discuss it with some experienced old soldiers below."
"Turn it into fields?" Xu Tianguo was taken aback.
Ye Chen nodded and said, "Leave a passage in the center. When I come back, I will set up a spatial connection point there. At that time, you can directly enter the City of the Ruins from there."
Xu Tianguo was startled. Immediately, his eyes widened and he said in surprise, "You got a City of the Ruins?"
Ye Chen nodded slightly and said, "The area is more spacious than Atlantis."
"Bigger than Atlantis?" Xu Tianguo opened his mouth wide and was dumbfounded.
"Develop more fields. Food will be very important in the future."
Ye Chen instructed. Now that the ice age was not far away, it was necessary to store food in advance. Otherwise, it would be like his previous life, when all the major base cities were in a panic in the face of the sudden ice age, leading to many tragedies in that era.
Xu Tianguo felt a chill in his heart. He rarely heard Ye Chen specifically instruct him on something, so he couldn't help but take it seriously. At present, food was not very scarce in many major base cities. After all, they could hunt monsters and devour their bodies. Women who could bear children and the knowledgeable old people were given easy jobs. They could barely take care of their stomachs. Although life was not as comfortable as it was in peacetime, it was not too bleak.
Under such circumstances, the importance of food was slightly reduced. Although each base city had a production department dedicated to growing rice, they did not go all out.
"Food …" Xu Tianguo secretly noted this in his heart. He did not ask for any reason, because at least until now, Ye Chen had not done anything useless.
"That's it."
Ye Chen turned off the communicator. Although he had not seen the current state of Guang Ming Base City with his own eyes, he was certain that with a large amount of resources, the development of Guang Ming Base City would be like an unstoppable rocket.
Under such circumstances, Xu Tianguo easily neglected the importance of food. Instead, he put more effort into training soldiers, hunting monsters, and eating monster corpses as the staple food. However, after the ice age, it was extremely difficult to encounter a monster. How could there be any monster corpses to eat?
At this time, the White Dragon, Mo Feng, and the others walked out of the ruins and appeared next to Ye Chen. The White Dragon asked, "Where are we going now?"
Ye Chen calmly said, "To a nearby base city."
Yue Heng was startled. "Are we not going back to Guang Ming Base City first?"
Ye Chen waved his hand. "There are still some things that need to be done here. Guang Ming Base City is not in trouble at the moment, so there is no need to rush back."
"What is it?" The White Dragon asked in surprise.
Ye Chen did not say anything more. He looked at Prynne who walked out of the ruins. She was wearing a snow-white robe, and her cheeks were beautiful. He said calmly, "Do you have a scanner in the ruins? Can you help me see if there are any base cities nearby?"
Prynne frowned and said, "You can't leave the ruins without permission. You must be accompanied by me or Violet Orchid."
Ye Chen frowned slightly and said, "Make the spatial connection point of the ruins into a token and put it on me. This way, you don't have to follow me all the time. When needed, you can come out at any time."
Since Prynne was the Overgod of the ruins system, she had recognized him as her master and would not betray him. However, it was still inconvenient for her to stay by his side all the time.
Prynne pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, but I have to stay by your side all the time. When there is a special situation, I will enter the ruins so that I can come out in time when there is danger."
Before Ye Chen could say anything, the White Dragon laughed. "Danger?
What kind of danger could a jinx like him encounter?
If he doesn't cause trouble for others, others will be burning incense and praying.
Little Chenchen, look at her good intentions. Just agree! "
Yue Heng rolled his eyes and said, "It's you who wants to see beautiful women, isn't it?"
"You said that. I didn't say that." The White Dragon curled its lips.
Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "Up to you." He was too lazy to say anything more to the stubborn System.
Seeing Ye Chen agree, Prynne smiled and pinched her fingers. A white lotus appeared out of thin air. It was unknown how it appeared, but as her fingertips spun, it floated towards Ye Chen and landed on the back of his hand, forming a white lotus pattern.
"This is the token of the spatial connection point. With the fluctuations of this token, you can open the ruins anywhere." Prynne smiled.
Ye Chen nodded slightly and said, "See which direction has a base city nearby."
"I'll do it!"
The White Dragon volunteered. With a flip of its palm, it summoned the Demonic Eye Instant Gun. Carrying it on its shoulder, it looked around through the multiple spatial reflections on it.
"East!" The White Dragon's eyes lit up. "There's a large base city 4,650 kilometers to the east!
It's actually within the detection range of the Demonic Eye Instant Gun. "
The Demonic Eye Instant Gun's multiple spatial reflections had a range of 5,000 kilometers.
Ye Chen nodded slightly and walked towards the east. The others packed up their things and followed behind. Prynne pointed with her finger. The entrance to the ruins where everyone had been standing rippled and closed. Outsiders could no longer enter the ruins from there. After that, she followed behind Ye Chen and the others.
Under the corona, the group set off towards a new place.
