Battlefield of Civilization: From the Bottom to the First Citizen

Chapter 68 Clearing the Island

"You're back."

Upon seeing Wu Ou emerge from the entrance of the ruins, Leng Yue immediately stepped forward.

Seeing the two items in his hands, I asked, "Did you get these from inside?"

"Take a look, and then tell me how you feel." Wu Ou handed her the two items.

I took the item, looked at it, and then input the power source, intending to experience its effects.

But she soon discovered that although these two items also had engraved pathways, they weren't as smooth to use as the ones Wu Ou had provided before.

The effects they produce are also different.

What Wu Ou provided before was an integrated system, meaning that the user outputs source energy and it directly goes through the engraving path to achieve the desired effect.

However, with these two items, it's necessary to control which part of the engravings will function after the source energy is output.

When used in combination, it consumes slightly more energy compared to other methods.

"What's going on?" She couldn't help but look at Wu Ou. How could there be such a big difference between the technological items produced from the same site?

"This civilization, like ours now, also began an era of universal evolution during a mutation that started at an unknown time."

Among these developments, technological advancements also experienced rapid growth, even a leapfrog growth.

What I received earlier should be considered one of their "latest achievements"!

Wu Ou explained, and Leng Yue nodded.

"So, the technology in these ruins might not necessarily be more advanced than what we have now?"

Wu Ou nodded. "Each civilization has different characteristics, development direction, and level."

By the way, I learned some criteria for judging civilization levels in there, and I think that's very important...

Just as the two were talking and Wu Ou was sharing his finds in the ruins, Miao Zikai arrived.

"Dr. Wu, Dr. Leng, the camp is basically set up, but there are quite a few mutated beasts getting closer and closer. They're probably after the corpses. What do you think?"

"There are relics on the island, and it won't be completely abandoned anytime soon."

Those that pose a potential threat can be eliminated. Wu Ou did not hesitate for a moment.

There are no rare animal species on the island, so even if they enter the universe in the future, they are not worthy of being individuals that retain the original source energy beast gene seeds of Blue Star.

Moreover, the technology found in the ruins is more important in comparison.

"No problem!" Miao Zikai stood up straight, his face showing a determined expression.

The people he brought were all capable.

With the weapons Wu Ou gave them, facing off against those mutated beasts of the same level head-on was no problem.

Dealing with the mutated beasts on the island was really as easy as hunting with a gun before the disaster struck.

"The weapons are good, but you still need to be careful," Wu Ou advised.

"Don't worry! The weapons you provided are simply amazing! If we are still seriously injured with them, it's purely our own carelessness!" Miao Zikai said with a smile before turning and leaving.

"You mean, you want to take control of the entire island?" Leng Yue asked at this moment.

"Although this place is not exactly in the middle of the Beijiang River, it has the original docks on both sides, plus this remnant."

"Wouldn't it be great to renovate it properly and use it as a connecting point between the two banks of the Beijiang River?" Wu Ou smiled.

The Northern Base, although it ultimately became the core base of the entire North.

However, even now, before the Dragon Kingdom fully restores basic order, there are many powerful settlements around it, which, in some aspects, are no worse than the Northern Base.

On the Beijiang side, the Northern Base is currently the largest, but on the other side there are two other bases that are also quite large.

However, before the disaster struck, those areas were relatively sparsely populated and even had the characteristics of tourist areas.

Therefore, the total population of the two bases cannot compare to that of the Northern Base.

However, in terms of talent, the number of both source energy warriors and superhumans is no less than that of the Northern Base.

A crucial point is that there was also a manager on the other side who was originally at the same level as Coach Li.

This meant that, initially, the Northern Base was unable to gain an advantage over it at the management level and could only communicate with it at the same level.

The relationship was only confirmed after the capital city took the lead in recognizing the Northern Base's status.

Before that, it was unlikely that one could order people there to do things by using their status as an important figure in the Northern Base.

And transaction communication will become a state that lasts for a long time.

Another reason, which Wu Ou didn't mention, is that, in his memory, the things here were discovered by the people over there.

He also wanted to see when the people over there had arrived.

After obtaining Wu Ou's permission, Miao Zikai led his men out of the camp and began cleaning up the surrounding woods.

"Pay attention to formation and coordination. Those with shields, go first and protect the shooters. Those with swords, charge with me and prioritize killing the strong, carnivorous mutant beasts!" Miao Zikai had gained some practical experience through his long training.

As the team advanced into the woods, the mutated beasts naturally sensed the danger.

Faced with danger, some will choose to turn around and run away, while others will launch a surprise attack.

"Meow—" A large cat pounced down from the tree. Normally, it wouldn't be more than half a meter long, but now it was more than a meter long.

If it weren't for the fact that its call remained unchanged, one might mistake it for a leopard or something similar at first glance.

Whoosh whoosh!

The crossbow bolts were fired, forming a triangular pattern that surrounded the cat's path.

Swipe!

The cat swung its paws and actually destroyed the arrow.

However, the subsequent explosion of the energy source attached to it forced it to change its trajectory.

"superior!"

Once they spotted the landing point, Miao Zikai led his men to charge forward.

Inside the camp, Wu Ou took some metal blocks and some meat cut from the giant bear and put them into his mouth.

Soon, it spat out a piece of engraved metal.

"This is for lighting, this is for opening doors, and this is a one-time shield." Wu Ou placed the three newly made engraved metal objects in front of Leng Yue.

"Although it's amazing every time I see it, don't you feel a little..." Leng Yue said, making a nauseous gesture.

"It's not a big deal. First of all, they won't actually come into contact with my internal organs or get contaminated with the things you're thinking of."

"And of course, superpowers should be used properly. Why would anyone refuse to use them just because they're 'disgusting'? That would be foolish!"

As Wu Ou spoke, he handed her several pieces of metal. "Try it out and complete some basic carvings."

"So, you think this technology will become widely used in the Northern Base next?" Leng Yue put down the temporary dictionary in her hand and placed a piece of metal in her hand.

"I have to admit that before we have all the necessary equipment in place, the 'enchantment' effect created by these engraving techniques is indeed very effective." Wu Ou looked at a piece of engraved metal that Leng Yue had successfully completed and injected source energy to activate it.

The carvings lit up completely, instantly emitting a beam of ice-blue light.

It landed on the ground not far away, and a large area of ​​ice appeared immediately.

"You're right, this technology is very useful."
