Whoosh!
The moment they stepped into the black hole, they felt their surroundings spin. When they opened their eyes, they were no longer in the dark cave, but standing on a long white metal platform. And at the end of the platform was an extremely magnificent spaceship!
The spaceship was platinum in color and was a hundred feet long. It shone with a metallic luster and there were many mysterious engravings on it. It was extremely strange. On both sides of the spaceship, there were wings that drooped down. There were bird feather-like patterns on them.
And on the spaceship, a tall battle sail was stretched out. The material was extremely fine and the patterns were beautiful. There was a strange word embroidered in the middle of the sail. It was even stranger than hieroglyphics. However, such a beautiful white sail had a few large holes. It was a pity.
Ye Chen frowned and saw that the patterns on the spaceship were slightly damaged. It was as if it had gone through a battle. He could not help but frown and look around. He saw that this was an extradimensional space. There was a grayish-white airflow all around. The spaceship floated above and the platform they were standing on was the only way into the cabin.
There was no wind, no sound. There was dead silence all around.
Ye Chen pondered for a moment and turned to the others. He said solemnly, "When we enter the cabin later, everyone follow behind me. Don't act on your own to avoid triggering any dangerous traps."
Everyone quickly nodded.
Ye Chen then turned and walked to the end of the platform. He stood on the platinum door that was as tall as three people. There were countless black mysterious engravings on it. They were densely packed like earthworms. He could not help but frown and reach out to push it.
It was cold!
This platinum-colored door was like a piece of ten-thousand-year-old ice. Even with Ye Chen's physique, he felt a bone-chilling cold.
At this moment — —
That black mysterious pattern started to wiggle and emit a bright light. It turned from black to red, causing the originally ice-cold boat door to become blazing hot. Ye Chen was startled. He quickly withdrew his hand. However, just as he moved his hand, he felt a sticky force sucking his hand onto the door.
"Hiss!"
His palm felt as if it was branded by a red-hot soldering iron. The boiling heat made Ye Chen grit his teeth. He felt as if his entire hand had reached into boiling water!
Pain!
This intense pain affected every single one of his nerves, but relying on his strong willpower, Ye Chen did not make a sound. He only clenched his teeth, and after a moment, the blazing hot feeling receded from his palm like a receding tide. The mysterious rune turned from red to black, and following that, the ice-cold feeling came again.
Ye Chen's hand moved and moved down from the ship's door. He quickly raised his hand to look and saw that his palm was crimson red. In the center, there was a strange pattern with a strange character carved into it. It was exactly the same as the character on the ship's sail.
Talisman!
Ye Chen had seen these words in his previous life. He immediately recognized them as the words of the rune civilization.
Frowning, Ye Chen waited for the pain in his palm to subside before pushing on the ship's door again. "Creak!" This time, the originally sealed ship's door was pushed open, revealing the scene inside.
He saw that the interior of the ship was extremely spacious. There was a long metal passageway with strange engravings on it. There were no electric lights around, but the walls naturally lit up, illuminating the passageway thoroughly.
Ye Chen glanced at the ground beneath his feet. The smooth platinum surface was like a mirror. The metal on this ship was not ordinary platinum, but an extremely rare metal. It had been refined by the rune civilization and was specially made. Its defensive power was extremely strong. It had been parked here for an unknown number of years, but it had not rotted.
The group walked through the passageway. There was only the sound of breathing and footsteps.
"Eh?"
Ye Zhu looked at the wall in the distance. There was a long picture drawn on the metal wall. It was three feet wide and ten feet long. There were many strange things in it.
Ye Chen took the lead and walked over. When he took a look, his body suddenly trembled. He saw that on the right side of the picture, there was a scene. The sky was dark and stained with blood. There were countless tower-like houses on the ground. There were large holes in them, and they were dilapidated. In addition, there were many short figures about three feet tall. They had light green skin, pointed ears, hooked noses, pure black eyes, and no hair. They looked very strange.
These human-like figures were holding various machines in their hands. There were all kinds of rare cold weapons, as well as some rocket launchers. These weapons were all engraved with mysterious engravings.
Among these figures, there were many tall figures. They were very strong and looked similar to humans. However, they were all three feet tall and had wings on their backs. They were so handsome that they could be called perfect.
These figures were holding rune weapons in their hands. They were fighting a group of tall creatures. These creatures were ten feet tall. Some of them had black carapaces, while others had red carapaces. They had two dinosaur-like thighs that supported their bodies. There were eight legs under their abdomens. Their heads were like centipedes, flat and wide. There was a pair of black crab pincers in their mouths. It was very frightening.
Others might not recognize these monsters, but Ye Chen would never forget them. Because … these were mutated ants!
In the later stages of the apocalypse, the evolved form of mutated ants looked like this. However, they were not so tall. They were only three feet tall. The mutated ants in the picture were most likely the super mutated ants that would evolve into after ten or even twenty years of the apocalypse!
"Who would have thought that countless years ago, there were giant ants in prehistoric times!"
Ye Chen was shocked. "And from the looks of it, such a powerful rune civilization was destroyed by these ants!"
At this time, there was a worm-like text at the bottom of the picture. It lit up slightly and turned into a string of data. It was similar to mental brainwaves. It was reflected in Ye Chen's eyes. Suddenly, a large amount of information rushed into his mind.
"Those dwarves that look like humans are called the Green Rune People. Those giants with wings on their backs are the guardians of the Green Rune People. The gods they worship …" Ye Chen said to himself. "Those giant ants are called the Dark Demons. They are the most powerful monsters in the rune civilization. The strength of each of them is 100,000 stars (the rune civilization's weight unit) … It's equivalent to our strength of 10 million jin, which is 5 million kg!"
5 million kg, which was equivalent to the strength of 100,000 people!
Ye Chen instantly sobered up. His heart was filled with shock. "Those ants are actually so terrifying in the end!!
Now, there are countless mutated ants in the world. At the latest, in twenty years, they will evolve to this stage. By then … "
It was unimaginable!
The strength of 100,000 people, what kind of concept was that?
If it was just one, it would be fine. But how many ants were there in the world?
"In my previous life, although ants were stronger than mutated lions and tigers in the later stages, it was mainly because they lived in groups. A single ant tide was a disaster!
But if this goes on, when each of them reaches the strength of 100,000 people, then humans will not be able to survive!
By then, the world will be ruled by ants. No matter how strong I am, when faced with an endless number of ants, I will still die in their mouths! "
Ye Chen clenched his teeth. He was unwilling to accept this!
He had obtained a great opportunity and was reborn ten years ago. If he still died after fighting until the end, he would be too unwilling!
If an ordinary person saw such a shocking thing, their will to live would be shattered. They would feel powerless, hopeless, and lost.
But Ye Chen's willpower was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Back then, when he was attacked by the Magic Wind Hounds, his stomach was cut open and his intestines fell to the ground. But he still picked them up and stuffed them back into his stomach before continuing to run.
Even if his head was chopped off, as long as he was not dead, Ye Chen would not give up!
"Strength!"
"I have to speed up the improvement of my strength. It's not just my strength alone. No matter how strong I am, how many ants can I kill?
I have to make use of the strength of the base cities established by the major countries to eliminate the ants in advance. I have to list these monsters as the most dangerous ones. I have to kill every one I see! "
Ye Chen had a crazy plan in his mind.
But he was not in a hurry. With the evolution speed of the mutated ants, it would take at least twenty years for them to reach the strength of 100,000 people. Only two months had passed. There was still a long way to go. There was enough time for him to prepare.
