A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 769 - 755: Commander Lan Die

Baiyu's request was naturally ruthlessly rejected.

There is indeed something like a library in Ice City, but Zhan Guo wouldn't let him in.

The entire castle.

It's actually a large flying device.

Similar to the Mobile Mechanical Fortress inside Mountain City with the Mecha Corps, but this Ice City is countless times larger than the Mechanical Fortress.

Currently, the entire Ice City is frozen over. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

They are located at the lowest level of Ice City, inside a control center.

The areas above in Ice City are thickly blocked by ice, including the library and such, all are locked in ice.

Not even Baiyu.

Not even Zhan Guo himself can enter.

Only when a suitable and safe location is found will Zhan Guo unfreeze the entire castle, allowing access to other areas of the castle.

However.

Although he couldn't enter the library, Zhan Guo agreed to tell Baiyu some stories about the Frost Imperial every day, to help dispel his boredom.

Zhan Guo's intelligence is much higher than other robots.

Soon.

Baiyu spent five days in Ice City.

In these five days.

The army from Camp Eighteen came outside Ice City and successfully clashed with Wu Xiao and the other two.

After being driven out of the ruins by the defense robots, Wu Xiao and his two companions hid outside the ruins, waiting for an opportunity to re-enter.

A well-preserved Frost Imperial ruin, they would never give it up.

However.

No one guessed that there would be so many defense robots in the ruins. Previously, Teacher Gong estimated there would be at most five or six of these robots.

Most of the others should have weathered away with time, losing mobility.

Yet.

Clearly, he was wrong.

After being driven out, cracks already appeared in the fragile alliance of the three.

But it hadn't yet broken apart.

Yet when Commanders from Camp Eighteen arrived with the army and instantly discovered their crime of murdering students, they launched an attack on the three of them.

Disaster never comes alone.

Under such circumstances, the fragile alliance of the three instantly shattered, each fleeing for their own lives.

Afterwards, they would face endless pursuit from the Great City.

Their detailed information would be posted on the door of the Great City's Bounty Association, becoming targets for bounty hunters.

The Great City doesn't care what you did before entering the city.

But.

It does care whether you committed a crime in the city.

Once you violate the regulations set by the City Lord, you would be hunted by the Great City to the ends of the earth.

The three naturally regretted it at this moment.

But.

Regret was already useless, the ruins weren't something they could exploit.

...

"Commander Lan, the surroundings have been checked, no issues found.

The students' bodies have all been handled, and once we return from this trip, they can be sent back to holy Purple Crystal School."

A female commander in silver-white armor, riding a pure white unicorn, stood at the entrance of the ruins.

A scout beside her was reporting the situation.

They had determined the approximate scope of the ruins, finding no danger.

It seemed the danger was inside the ruins.

As the commander of Camp Eighteen, Lan Die rushed over immediately and began using her experienced skills to clear the surroundings of the ruins, ensuring no danger.

While excavating such ruins, external interruptions must absolutely be avoided.

Moreover, it seemed.

This ruin is not easy to tackle.

"Continue pursuing the three who fled, immediately send someone back to inform holy Purple Crystal School that the teachers from the academy have defected.

The remaining people.

Form a formation and advance into the ruins."

Lan Die waved the flag in her hand, and the army behind her formed into neat formations, advancing to the entrance of the ruins.

Then.

They planted several heavy explosives.

Then with a thunderous boom, the entrance of the entire ruins was blasted into pieces, and a huge opening appeared before everyone.

"Excavation team, advance!"

Lan Die waved another small flag in her hand.

Ten martial artists behind her, pushing heavy excavation tools, approached the large pit and activated the machine equipped with a gigantic drill.

The drilling machine was extremely efficient.

In an instant.

A spacious passage appeared behind the drilling machine.

However, such an unreinforced passageway could not serve human transit.

So Lan Die waved the flag again.

Following that.

A team of martial artists driving heavy excavators followed closely, starting to dig the loose soil.

They were busy like this the entire morning.

A path leading to the first area was opened.

Lan Die's face showed a faint smile as she waved the flag: "Advance with caution on the left and right, stay alert!"

With a rumble.

The army began advancing in an orderly procession, forming a lengthy column, pouring into the ruins.

As they walked down the passage.

The first area, of course, was the first they reached.

This area was blocked by a thick layer of ice, the ground completely frozen over, the icy cold made the incoming soldiers extremely uncomfortable.

"Sir, the temperature here is only five degrees below zero, we must constantly consume Blood Qi to maintain normal body temperature."

A soldier reported.

Lan Die glanced at the ruins thickly covered with ice, speaking loudly: "Divide into groups, thirty to a team, two teams cooperate to search the entire area."

After she finished speaking.

The army behind her quickly split up and formed small units, spreading out in all directions.

Yet nothing was found on the first layer.

Aside from the stone tablet of the ruins, it was essentially all rubble; only the second and third layers were somewhat preserved.

As Baiyu guessed, more or less.

Lan Die and her group were successfully attracted by the stone tablet, stopping here.

Previously, Zhan Guo had sealed the entrance from the second layer to the first with ice and made some arrangements, making it almost undetectable.

In other words.

Upon initially exploring this ruin, Lan Die and her group wouldn't guess that there was a second and third layer.

She would merely think the first layer was the entire ruin, and her attention would be drawn to the stone tablet.

By the time she realized the ruins had multiple layers, Zhan Guo would have already fled with Ice City.

Soon.

The stone tablet on the first layer was discovered.

Sure enough, Lan Die led most of the people to gather before the stone tablet, starting to attempt to uncover secrets from it.

All of this.

Fell into the eyes of Zhan Guo and Baiyu.

Both the human and the robot revealed a sneaky smile.

"In the short term, these troops won't come searching, you can safely carry out the transfer work. Once you reach a new place, you can gradually develop.

By the way, last time you mentioned that human genes haven't changed, what do you mean by that?"

Baiyu asked.

Zhan Guo, while operating the control panel, replied: "Genes are in constant evolution, complete.

Each organism.

Is on a journey of evolution, constantly perfecting itself to adapt to the environment.

Humans are no different.

In the earliest times, during the era of the Crustaceans, humans, like those Crustaceans, lived primitively, using their limbs to walk on the ground.

It was later evolution that turned humans into what they are today."
