Chapter 80: Ancient Ruins

"Bang!"

The distinctive sound of a 98K rang out, and a brass bullet, spinning at high speed, passed through the gap between Lu Xiaoxiao and Autumn Cicada.

It struck the man's head, causing it to explode instantly.

This sudden change instantly threw the group of Contaminators into disarray, and they adopted fighting stances.

However, when they clearly saw two beautiful women 'throwing themselves' at them, their solemn faces immediately broke into smiles.

They had been feeling bored chatting all night, and thought some beautiful women should come to liven up the atmosphere. And here they were.

"Brothers, let's go!"

"Capture them alive, we'll take turns!"

Someone shouted, and about twenty Contaminators moved frantically.

Lu Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, exchanged a look with Autumn Cicada, and both slid into the crowd simultaneously, attacking left and right.

Lu Xiaoxiao swept sideways, kicking the head of the foremost henchman, sending him flying several meters high before he crashed heavily to the ground.

He was half-dead from the fall.

Autumn Cicada's attacks were sharp, and her figure was ethereal; four or five people attacked her at once, but couldn't even touch a single strand of her hair.

"Thump!"

"Clang!"

After about ten minutes, more than half of the two dozen Contaminators were down, groaning in pain on the ground.

Seven or eight people remained standing, two of whom seemed unconcerned, standing aside and not making a move the entire time.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

One of them clapped, his eyes openly appraising Lu Xiaoxiao, and praised, "Startlingly graceful like a soaring swan."

"It is our good fortune to be able to spar with such beautiful women!"

"However, you two beautiful ladies must be from the Chemical Zone, here to hunt for pollution cores, aren't you?"

Autumn Cicada scoffed, "Are we supposed to be in the Pollution Zone for a date?"

"Hahahaha... The beauty speaks so amusingly. If you wish to date, I wouldn't mind."

"Ugh... Don't you even bother to look in a mirror? What kind of trash are you, to think you can date me?" Autumn Cicada's disgust was undisguised, almost as if she had written 'You're ugly' on her face.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed deep in the speaking man's eyes. In his mind, he was already planning how to torment this fiery-tempered beauty and make her submit to him.

"Ladies, I have a piece of information here that is far more valuable than a pollution core."

"We gathered people here this time specifically to go there. Seeing your extraordinary strength, why don't we cooperate?"

Zhou Bo's mind was active, throwing out bait to hook the fish.

"Heh heh..." Lu Xiaoxiao's red lips curved slightly, her breath like orchids, and she said, "I'll give you two options."

"First, tell us this information and then get lost."

"Second, we'll beat you half to death, force you to tell us, and then kill you!"

Zhou Bo still had a smile on his face and showed no dissatisfaction with Lu Xiaoxiao's words. Trapping people didn't require showing it on his face, but in his heart.

"Are you two so confident that you can keep us here?"

"You know, in the Pollution Zone, anything can happen, you know~"

Lu Xiaoxiao shrugged indifferently. Coming to the Pollution Zone for training was precisely to encounter Contaminators of similar or slightly superior strength. Only through repeated dangers could one unleash potential and become stronger.

"Then... shall we try?" Lu Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow.

"Try then, try. What is a woman from the Chemical Zone, making such a fuss in the Pollution Zone!"

Another man couldn't stand it anymore; he was very displeased.

If he hadn't wanted to keep them alive for 'that' matter, he would have acted already.

"Swish!"

Leaving an afterimage behind, Lu Xiaoxiao extended her jade hand, striking the speaking man's mouth.

Guan Lu narrowed his eyes and raised his arm to block.

"Slap!"

A crisp sound. Lu Xiaoxiao had already returned to her original spot.

In contrast, Guan Lu's cheek was swollen, with five distinct finger marks. "Pah!" He spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with two teeth!

"You bitch!" Guan Lu was furious, his eyes turned bloodshot, and his body visibly began to swell, tearing through his clothes, muscles bulging, and veins visible under his skin.

In the blink of an eye, he reached three meters tall, his skin turning green, like a green giant.

"Thump thump thump!"

He furiously pounded his chest, showcasing his immense strength.

"Guan Lu!"

Zhou Bo immediately stepped forward, blocking Guan Lu, and said, "If we want to go to the ruins, we must cooperate. People from the Chemical Zone are actually more reliable than Contaminators, with no worries about betrayal!"

Guan Lu exhaled white hot air from his nose, staring intently at Lu Xiaoxiao.

Unbeknownst to him, a 98K in the distance had already locked onto his brow.

"You two, that gunshot just now, that was your person too, right?"

"Hunter squads are usually 4-5 people. Since you're all out together, let's discuss this properly."

"I can guarantee that without me, you definitely won't find the ruins, and even if you do, you won't be able to get in."

Zhou Bo was confident, looking at Lu Xiaoxiao.

"Come out," Lu Xiaoxiao said. She was very interested in that ruin.

All five had miniature earphones, maintaining constant communication, with a communication range of seven to eight li even in the Pollution Zone.

Ye Zi handed the miniature earphone to Xu Jingzhe, signaling him not to appear.

Xu Jingzhe nodded and concealed himself.

The appearance of the five women made the eyes of the remaining men light up, unable to look away.

Five!

Incredibly beautiful women!

If they could spend one night with such women, they would willingly shorten their lives by ten years.

Zhou Bo was also stunned, seeing a squad of five such beautiful women for the first time, and was momentarily frozen in place.

He had a bold idea.

Boss, second brother, third brother... this was simply reaching the pinnacle of life!

"Have you seen enough?" Lu Xiaoxiao said with a cold face.

"Cough cough... My apologies." Zhou Bo was startled awake by her words, turned to the Contaminators lying on the ground, and said, "You guys get out, you're an embarrassment."

Of the original twenty-something people, only the strongest seven remained.

"Thousands of li from here, someone discovered ancient ruins, said to have existed on Blue Star for tens of thousands of years, containing technology of a higher civilization level than Blue Star's current one, reaching 0.95 or 0.96 civilization level." Zhou Bo dropped a bombshell.

The five women frowned simultaneously. Blue Star held many secrets, some of which were beyond their current power to touch.

However, some knowledge was mandatory for everyone in the Chemical Zone to learn.

Civilization level!

Blue Star was currently a 0.93 civilization, still 0.07 levels away from the planned Level 1 civilization.

However, one should not underestimate this 0.07 civilization level, as it was a difficult mountain to climb.

From 0.93 to 0.94, this tiny 0.01 increment was the sum of the previous 0.93 levels, and it required an industrial revolution capable of changing current technology.

0.01 required countless scientists to toil day and night, consuming inestimable resources on Blue Star, just to have a chance to equate to it.

This meant that the 0.95 or 0.96 civilization level of the ancient ruins surpassed Blue Star's current technology by at least several hundred years, or even longer, in terms of technology.

This was definitely explosive news, enough to sweep across the entire Blue Star!

It's just... looking at Zhou Bo's current strength, it was hard to say if his pollution core even had a yellow ring.

How could he claim he could get in?!
