Two small remote control cars with simple equipment successively entered the cave.

Wang Fugui, Weite, and the others immediately took out an old and barely functional portable computer to receive the transmitted images, carefully observing every detail.

Glancing at their often-lagging screen, Jiang Baimian couldn't help but take out the latest model portable computer produced by "Mechanical Paradise" from her tactical backpack.

Immediately afterward, she connected the computer to Genaeva, sharing the "view."

Wang Fugui and the others saw this scene, and their expressions became a little complicated.

"This passage isn't purely naturally formed; there are traces of artificial modification." Jiang Baimian focused her attention on the computer screen.

In the picture, a deep path quietly extended into the darkness, with obvious signs of reinforcement on both sides and above.

"But its width isn't enough," Long Yuehong said his thoughts.

In other words, vehicles cannot travel within the cave road.

Bai Chen said thoughtfully:

"Perhaps this is a backup passage, only for human access."

"Yes, this is just one of the entrances and exits." Jiang Baimian nodded in agreement.

But no matter what, she could now formally make a judgment:

The cave where the white wolf usually lives originates from some human engineering project.

As for whether it was built before the destruction of the Old World, or secretly excavated by "First City" or some force in recent years, Jiang Baimian could not give a definite answer for the time being.

Shang Jianyao, who was beside them, watched the computer screen while enthusiastically operating the remote control car, not giving Genaeva a chance to intervene.

After exploring to the limit and confirming that there were no pre-buried explosives or other problems in that area, the two teams entered the cave one after the other.

Their vehicles were all left outside, hidden in locations unknown to each other.

The "Old Task Force" would certainly not leave valuable items such as military exoskeletons and radio transceivers in the car; if they were stolen, they might not be able to recover them in time.

Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, and Genaeva each carried a crate, holding different weapons, and followed behind Shang Jianyao.

This made Wang Fugui, Weite, and others' eyelids twitch:

Did this team have three military exoskeletons?

Were they sent by some big force to sabotage "First City"?

Was this cave their destination all along?

Step by step, the two teams reached the edge of the explored area.

Then, they began a new round of detection.

After repeating similar procedures twice, the "Old Task Force" and Wang Fugui's team arrived at a fork in the road.

Shining a flashlight, Jiang Baimian turned her head and asked the survivor Long En:

"Which way did you go before?"

Long En recalled and said:

"The left."

At this time, Wang Fugui looked over with the light of his flashlight and said:

"How about we explore separately?

"This would save time."

To show his sincerity:

"You choose first."

Quite amiable... Long Yuehong muttered silently.

At this time, having gone deep into the cave, he felt quite cold, no longer in the middle of summer.

This feeling made Long Yuehong subconsciously look at someone in Wang Fugui's team:

The man who was wrapped in a black leather jacket even at the Forward Camp was indeed shivering.

His slender limbs and sturdy body, combined with this performance, seemed quite incongruous.

He's really afraid of the cold... Long Yuehong withdrew his gaze.

After these days of contact and inquiries, he had learned that the man was called Gray.

"Okay." Jiang Baimian considered for a moment and accepted Wang Fugui's proposal.

As soon as she finished speaking, Shang Jianyao volunteered:

"I'll choose."

"Which way do you want to choose?" Wang Fugui asked, both curious and solemn.

Shang Jianyao smiled:

"Leave it to the heavens, let the Ruling Deities decide."

As he spoke, he took out a copper coin worth 5 castes from his pocket with the hand not holding the remote control.

Jiang Baimian controlled her expression and watched this guy perform silently.

Frankly speaking, she didn't quite understand what Shang Jianyao wanted to do this time.

The same went for Long Yuehong and Bai Chen.

Genaeva deduced multiple results, but none of them felt like Shang Jianyao's style.

Deciding such an important matter by flipping a coin? Wang Fugui, Weite, Gray, and the others exchanged glances, feeling that this matter was very strange.

The next second, Shang Jianyao, who had handed the remote control to Genaeva, actually tossed the coin.

With a ding, the coin rolled and fell, caught by Shang Jianyao in mid-air.

"Let me see what it is." He looked around and smiled as he released the hand covering the coin.

Then, Shang Jianyao showed the coin and announced the final result:

"Tails up, go left!"

After speaking, he put away the coin and walked into the left passage without looking back.

Jiang Baimian followed with a slightly strange expression.

After the lights of the "Old Task Force" and Long En disappeared into this area, Wang Fugui sincerely sighed:

"He actually really let the Ruling Deities decide...

"Are they devout believers of a certain Ruling Deity?"

Gray, who was very afraid of the cold, was silent for a moment, and said with chattering teeth:

"Do we also go left?"

"Not for now." Wang Fugui turned to the right first.

Weite, Gray, and the other four plus the guide hesitated for two seconds and chose to follow behind him.

Inside the left passage, Jiang Baimian caught up with Shang Jianyao and glanced at him:

"If it were heads up, would you go to the right?"

Shang Jianyao smiled:

"The answer wouldn't change, because before flipping the coin, I never said what tails represents and what heads represents."

I knew it... Jiang Baimian rolled her eyes helplessly.

She had seen the problem just now:

Shang Jianyao was purely teasing Wang Fugui and the others!

Long Yuehong, who was behind Jiang Baimian, was stunned for a second and couldn't help but slander in his heart:

"In front of people who devoutly believe in the Ruling Deities, you would be tied up and burned alive for this..."

Clearly saying to let the Ruling Deities decide, but directly deciding internally, this is blasphemy, treating oneself as a Ruling Deity!

Long En, the survivor following the "Old Task Force," gradually felt that these people were mentally abnormal.

At such a serious time, in such a dangerous scene, they still dared to make such jokes?

Next, Jiang Baimian ignored Shang Jianyao, turned on her flashlight, led the team, followed behind Genaeva, and continued to delve deeper into the cave.

Before long, they arrived at the area described by Long En where human food was piled up.

After careful inspection, Jiang Baimian determined from the production date and other factors that these were all produced in the Old World.

"It seems it's indeed related to the Old World." As soon as she finished speaking, she sensed many bioelectrical signals.

After silently counting, Jiang Baimian turned her head to look at Shang Jianyao.

"Wang Fugui and the others." Shang Jianyao was quite certain.

He determined it from the number.

Soon, Wang Fugui, Weite, Gray, and the others walked out slowly with flashlights from another passage.

They were not surprised at all by the presence of the "Old Task Force."

Just then, Shang Jianyao suddenly said:

"Oh, you're missing one person."

"..." Wang Fugui's heart tightened, and he quickly looked back at his teammates.

He counted several times and confirmed that no one was missing.

Could it be that the missing person has disappeared from my memory? Just as Wang Fugui and the others had such an idea, they heard Shang Jianyao laugh:

"Just kidding."

At this moment, even Wang Fugui, who had such a good temper, couldn't help grinding his teeth.

Just as Jiang Baimian was about to smooth things over for Shang Jianyao, Shang Jianyao seriously explained:

"I mainly want to remind you that you may encounter strange situations next. You may forget some things, so it's best to keep the key information on your body now by recording it."

Then, he added:

"We've already found canine feces here."

This meant that they were getting closer and closer to the white wolf.

Wang Fugui nodded thoughtfully and said to Weite, Gray, and the others:

"Make a simple record of the current situation and compare it regularly afterward."

After this temporary team finished this matter, the two teams set off again, sometimes side by side, sometimes separately.

Relying on reconnaissance vehicles and their own chips, Jiang Baimian and Genaeva gradually mapped out the routes they had already taken in their "minds."

After excluding those repeated roads, they and Wang Fugui's team entered a wider passage that seemed to be able to accommodate vehicles.

The artificial traces here were more obvious, and the ground was made of concrete.

As they moved forward step by step, they could occasionally find canine feces. After Genaeva analyzed and compared them, it was confirmed that they all came from the same creature.

This was likely the giant white wolf.

"It eats a lot and poops a lot too." Shang Jianyao lamented with the wrong emphasis.

This was a flavorful remark, causing several people in Wang Fugui's team on the other side to frown slightly.

This passage was very long, and the two teams had to stop from time to time to use remote control cars to scout the situation ahead. Therefore, it was not until the evening that they saw the exit.

Outside the exit was an overgrown Old World park with a man-made lake with a decent view.

The starlight from the high sky fell, allowing the tall buildings "submerged" in the darkness in the distance to enter the eyes of Jiang Baimian and others.

They had come to a city buried in history for who knows how many years.

In a daze, Long Yuehong felt like he was back when he saw the ruins of Marsh No. 1 after passing through the tunnel.

The shock caused by the civilization of the old era at that moment was still unforgettable to him.

When he subconsciously turned to look at his teammates, he found the team leader frowning slightly as she looked at the stars in the black night.

After performing a simple calculation with the aid of the auxiliary chip and obtaining a relatively vague location, Jiang Baimian solemnly instructed Genaeva:

"Switch to radio mode."

Amidst the questioning glances from Wang Fugui and the others, Genaeva completed the module conversion as instructed.

Then, Jiang Baimian took a breath and said:

"Tune to 119.2 frequency."

This frequency corresponds to the "Dao and Electrical Appliance Repair" radio station.

Jiang Baimian suspected that she and the others might have entered the Wasteland No. 13 ruins.

The Old World city in front of them might be the Wasteland No. 13 ruins!
