The team leader used a car to pull the nail to the Lost Valley, and Jiuyi arranged it in the chanting vertical cave, placing it in the same cave as the poet's original cave.

Ning Gu stood at the entrance of the cave, watching Fu Lu Shou Xi put the nails in place and place a small nine-winged bat logo next to it.

"This way, if he wakes up and there's no one of us around, he'll know where he is," Fulu said, "and won't be scared."

"I met the natives in the ghost town Tongue Bay, and when I woke up, I was in the evil place of Lost Valley," Ning Gu said, "I would be scared to death."

Suki turned his head and said, "Is the traveler so timid?"

"What's so evil about Lost Valley!" said Fulu.

"It's still pretty scary when the poet is around." Ning Gu remembered the first time Hammer took him into the Lost Valley, he drew three dots, afraid that he would get lost in this underground world.

Who could have thought that one day not long from now, Lost Valley would become the most familiar place to him outside of the ghost town, much more familiar than the main city he had always longed for, and that the mysterious poet and the moody Nine Wings would eventually become his comrades-in-arms, the kind of comrades-in-arms who would back him up at critical moments.

I don’t know if Jiuyi still wants half of the main city now.

Leaving the Lost Valley and returning to the Black Iron Wasteland, the daylight in the main city has reached its darkest, but it has not been extinguished to turn into darkness like in the past. The street lights in the main city are basically gone. Some have been temporarily set up, but they are far from enough, and artificial daylight is needed for lighting.

"If Dingzi wakes up, Jiuyi should be the first to find out, so don't worry." Lian Chuan said.

"Yeah," Ning Gu responded, "Sometimes I feel that Jiuyi and Lost Valley are one and the same."

“Maybe. After all, Lost Valley has existed as part of the Nine Wings for such a long time.” Lian Chuan looked towards the sky above the main city, where only two halves of the Dewdrop were still hanging. “It’s normal to say that there is some kind of connection.”

Ning Gu glanced at him, then looked at Luzhu.

After a while, he spoke: "I heard that General Su hopes to preserve the Dewdrop Ruins so that the main city will always remember this battle and everyone will always be united."

"Well," Lian Chuan responded, "Keep it. Forgetting is inevitable. There are always some things that you don't want to forget."

Lian Chuan drove the A01 and passed over the street. Ning Gu sat in the back and looked around.

At this time, there were no people on the streets of the main city, as most people had already found their homes. However, flashes of weapons could still be seen from time to time.

The main city began its usual night patrols.

In addition to guarding against Liu Dong's remnants, many refugees did not obey the arrangements of the main city and chose to continue wandering in the ruins.

Everyone has gained different insights from this battle against destruction. Most people cherish the present more and hope to rebuild their homes. Quite a few have found satisfaction in chaos and turmoil.

Even if order can be restored on the surface in the main city, there will still be many conflicts and darkness for a long time.

"Would you like to go and have a look at Guangci?" Lian Chuan asked, "You haven't had a close look yet, have you?"

"Well," Ning Gu nodded, "Let's take a look, I heard it's very high."

Lian Chuan changed direction and drove towards Guangci Park.

The park no longer exists, and the only proof that this was once a park is the streaks of light that still emit a soft glow in the darkness.

There were people patrolling around Guangci. When the guards saw Lianchuan and Ninggu, they suddenly straightened their bodies and saluted them.

"What is he doing?" Ning Gu was stunned and asked in a low voice.

"Can we go and see the light thorns now?" Lian Chuan asked the guard.

"Yes," the guard said, "Minister Chen has ordered that the two heroes can freely enter and exit any part of the main city."

"Thank you." Lian Chuan nodded, pulled Ning Gu, who was shocked, and walked towards the foot of Guang Ci.

"What did he call us?" Ning Gu leaned close to Lian Chuan's ear, "Heroes? Two heroes?"

"Yeah." Lian Chuan responded.

"Is this necessary?" Ning Gu whispered, "Isn't this too embarrassing?"

"Aren't you quite comfortable being the bully in ghost town?" Lian Chuan said.

"It's different. How can a bully be compared to a hero?" Ning Gu said, "Besides, I called myself a bully."

"Isn't that handsome ghost town facade a self-proclaimed one?" Lian Chuan glanced at him.

"... Did you do this on purpose?" Ning Gu glared.

"Look at the light thorn." Lian Chuan stopped.

The scene in front of him was filled with warm white light. Ning Gu looked forward, but he couldn't tell where the light was coming from.

After his eyes adjusted, he could see clearly that in the center of the light was a metal conical column.

The base is so large that when two people stand in front of it, they can’t see the edge of the base on either side.

Looking up, the conical pillars with warm light go straight up into the night sky. The sky with dim artificial daylight seems to disappear under the reflection of the light.

"It's really high." Ning Gu said.

"Yeah." Lian Chuan nodded.

Under the light of the base, words and images are constantly circulating.

Ning Gu could see that the pictures showed the main city and the Black Iron Wasteland, as well as various scenes of the Lost Valley. There were peaceful scenes, battle scenes, and scenes after destruction.

"What is it written?" Ning Gu asked.

"It introduces the battle," Lianchuan said, "and lists all the people who died protecting the world, as well as the civilians who died..."

"Every one?" Ning Gu was a little surprised.

"Everything that the system can check," Lian Chuan said, "is not complete yet, and will be updated and supplemented all the time."

Ning Gu stared at the words for a while. When the second cycle began, he pointed to a few words that were obviously larger and said, "If I remember correctly, that's our name. That's how you wrote it when you first wrote it."

"Yes." Lian Chuan said.

"Why?" Ning Gu was not very happy. "Why should we be so different? Whose idea was this?"

"Do you know why Liu Dong wants to be a god?" Lian Chuan asked.

"I don't know, it's exciting, isn't it?" Ning Gu said, "Everyone listens to him and thinks he is omnipotent. Whatever God says is right, and whatever God does is right..."

"In fact, just that one sentence is enough, and everyone listens to him," Lian Chuan said, "The more chaotic the world is, the more we need people like him."

Ning Gu looked at him: "You mean, General Su and Chen Fei want us to become gods? What's the difference between that and Liu Dong?"

"The difference is that we are not Liu Dong," Lian Chuan smiled. "No matter what we see, ordinary people see that Liu Dong disregards the lives of civilians and wants to cooperate with Luzhu. General Su hides and never appears again. They are all leaders of the main city. As for what Chen Fei did and what the cleanup team did, no one will care anymore. What they did will not be remembered."

Ning Gu looked at the light thorn and said nothing.

"In the end, it was Ning Gu and Lian Chuan who destroyed Lu Zhui and saved the world," Lian Chuan said, "Do you understand?"

"Yeah, I see." Ning Gu sighed, "So Fade Chen and his men want to please the people. They think we saved the world, so let's make us heroes, gods who save the world. The people need people like us, right? They are more effective than Fade Chen and his men."

"Yeah." Lian Chuan responded.

"Do you like it?" Ning Gu asked in a low voice.

"I don't like it," Lian Chuan said, "I just understand it. I also believe that Chen Fei wants to rebuild the main city now. If he wants to keep this world going well, this is the means he needs to use."

"What should we do then?" Ning Gu looked at him.

"Let's go," Lian Chuan said, "Go where you want to go and see the scenery you want to see."

The dormitory area for the cleaning team has been cleared, but the cleaning team is still in Lost Valley and has not moved back yet.

It was dark upstairs and downstairs. Only when people approached did the lights in the corridor light up.

"If you leave, this dormitory will be given to someone else." Ning Gu followed Lian Chuan into his room.

"It won't be full for a while," Lian Chuan said. "The cleaning team lost a lot of members. When new members join, there will probably be a new building."

Speaking of the casualties, Ning Gu felt a little depressed. Many travelers who came here from the ghost town also suffered losses, and Li Xiang almost lost his life.

Sometimes when he suddenly thinks of it, he finds it unbelievable that a traveler who has always done his own thing, enjoying whatever excitement he wants, and who decides how to live and how to die would eventually choose to never see the world again for the sake of the world.

And so many people are the same. In order to let you see the future world, I choose to never see it again.

"I took a shower and just checked that the water was still flowing. It should be that the water tank in the basement was not damaged," Lian Chuan opened the drawer in the closet, "My clothes are still there."

"Let me see!" Ning Gu's mood suddenly cheered up again and he moved closer to him.

Lian Chuan turned his head and looked at him: "You've watched it a lot, right? Are you still watching it?"

Ning Gu also looked at him, and was stunned for a long time before he reacted: "I said to look at your clothes, not to watch you take a bath. What's so good about you taking a bath? I've seen you take a bath."

"Look." Lian Chuan smiled and opened several drawers and the wardrobe door.

"I've never seen you in your own clothes, uniform, traveler's clothes, bat's clothes," Ning Gu looked at his clothes and frowned, "but your own clothes are so boring."

"What?" Lian Chuan took out a set at random, shook it open and took a look, "Isn't it pretty good?"

"No color." Ning Gu said.

"Your clothes have no color either." Lian Chuan walked towards a small door in the living room.

"That's because the supplies in the ghost town are limited and there's no choice," Ning Gu said, "You are the strongest hyena in the main city. You have enough universal currency, so you can definitely choose nice clothes. But you chose black, white and gray."

"I don't have much chance to wear it." Lian Chuan said.

There was a bathroom behind the small door. Ning Gu took a look inside when Lian Chuan opened the door.

To be honest, the conditions for showering are much better than in ghost towns, where everyone is crammed together, with one in each shelter, and it’s like a fight every time you go.

No, it's just fighting, it happens every time.

Lian Chuan heard the door open and a small breeze blew in.

"Didn't you say you didn't want to watch it?" Lian Chuan said.

"Is there enough water?" Ning Gu's voice came through the crack in the door, "I want to take a shower too."

"Come in and take a shower now," Lian Chuan said, "I really don't know how much water there is."

"Okay." Ning Gu squeezed in immediately.

Lian Chuan looked at him in surprise: "Has it been taken off when you asked?"

"Well," Ning Gu pushed him aside and raised his face to the water, "I mean I will wash too, not that I will wash later."

Lian Chuan didn't say anything.

Ning Gu rushed for a long time and felt very comfortable. When he turned to look at Lian Chuan, Lian Chuan had his back to him. He saw the limiter behind Lian Chuan's neck at a glance.

"This thing..." He reached out and touched the limiter, "Can't I ask Aunt Chun to help remove it?"

"The equipment belongs to the training department, and Liu Dong is the only one who has the authority to operate it. Now he has destroyed the equipment, and Chun San can't do anything about it," Lian Chuan said, "but the impact is not big."

"How can it not have a big impact?" Ning Gu said.

"There are no more attacks that require me to use all my strength," Lianchuan said, "and we survived wearing it."

"Yeah." Ning Gu nodded.

"Just keep it as a souvenir," Lian Chuan said.

"Yeah." Ning Gu nodded, "You are the proof of the strongest bug."

Lian Chuan smiled.

Ning Gu touched the limiter with his fingers a few more times, then leaned over and kissed the back of his neck.

commemorate.

Lian Chuan turned his head and glanced at him: "What?"

"Hmm?" Ning Gu also looked at him, "I kissed you."

"Kiss?" Lian Chuan was stunned, then touched the back of his neck, "I thought you were touching me."

Ning Gu was shocked: "Is there something wrong with your sense of touch?"

"Probably not." Lian Chuan stretched out his hand and pinched his lips, "Your lips are a little dry."

"Bullshit, I've been flushing for a long time!" Ning Gu roared.

Lian Chuan touched his lips again: "Mine are soft."

"You don't even compare with me in terms of handsomeness, so how can you compare with me in terms of who has the softest lips?" Ning Gu was shocked again.

"It's true." Lian Chuan approached him and kissed him on the tip of his nose, "Isn't it?"

Ning Gu looked at him and said nothing.

Lian Chuan didn't say anything.

I don’t know if they are still being compared.

"Lianchuan!" Lei Yu's voice came from the intercom in the living room, "Where are you!"

Before Ning Gu could react, Lian Chuan was no longer in the bathroom.

"In the dormitory." Lian Chuan picked up the intercom.

"The Lost Valley has been evacuated." Lei Yu said.

"What?" Ning Gu rushed out of the bathroom when he heard this. "What did you get out of? Lost Valley? Get out of where? The nail is still in Lost Valley!"

Broken pieces of black iron kept rolling down all around, and the bats ran out in panic from the exits around the Lost Valley.

Travelers also rushed over from the main city and continued to gather in the Black Iron Wasteland.

The Lost Valley is like a huge isolated island, slowly rising from the ground of the Black Iron Wasteland.

The ground kept cracking and black iron kept falling off. A huge bulge with no visible edge was slowly appearing on the black iron wasteland.

"Nine Wings!" The captain yelled into the intercom, "Where are you? Are you safe?"

"Safe," Jiuyi spread his new wings and flew around the part of the Lost Valley that protruded from the ground. "I can finally see how big the Lost Valley is."

"Come to your senses!" the captain said, "Do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know," Jiu Yi said, "Lost Valley may not belong to this world. It is about to fly away."

"… Then let it fly?" The leader was speechless.

"It dares!" Jiu Yi roared.

"I think it dares!" The team leader also roared.

"Ask Lianchuan and Ninggu to come and help." Jiuyi said.

"They will be here soon," Lei Yu's voice came, "How can we help?"

Jiu Yi's sharp laughter came from the intercom and the air at the same time, and he shouted excitedly: "Get rid of this disobedient little monster!"

"Tie him up." Jiu Yi said.
