Chapter 26

As news of the Ashen River Hall drops into the military, a colossal splash is made—causing every commanding body within the place to move.

"Go through the historical records! If there is an ancient ruin to be found in the text, mark its approximate location down on the map!"

"There's a few more logs here!"

In an instant, archeological research becomes a key focus throughout all institutes.

Other than acquiring quality of life items from the ancient ruins, if they are able to find a weapon of some kind—that can flip the tables against the Immortals in this war, to the authority holders of this world, regardless of the sacrifices that must be made, it would all be worth it; for this war has already gone on for well over 1,500 years.

Back at the nightclub, that serves as the Ashen River Hall's base of operations—

"Boss, they've started."

"Good."

Setting his glass down, Shao Tianming smiles.

Leaning against the back of the sofa that Shao Tianming is sitting on, Li Zi Xiang asks—

"Would they really cooperate with us to excavate the ruins?"

Other than Shao Tianming, Li Zi Xiang, and Chen Lan, there is no one else here at the nightclub right now.

The three of them are the only ones to have been dispatched into GC012 by the higher-ups of their world—meaning, every other person that was used to intimidate Long Hua and the others with, are natives of this world, that had sworn their fealty to the Ashen River Hall.

Towards the question, Shao Tianming answers—

"I doubt they'd be honest about it. But since we lack manpower to search the globe, we need to use whatever we can."

"Hopefully, they don't eat up too much of the spoils."

Saying this, Chen Lan has a gleam of excitement in his eyes.

Much of the ancient ruins in their world have already been emptied, while the few—that continue to remain, are all incredibly difficult to get through.

Shrugging a shoulder, Shao Tianming replies—

"Since their side doesn't have much experience, most of them will probably fail to make it through the ruins in one piece."

Blinking his eyes, Shao Tianming can't help but recall the words Long Hua had said—

(What? Did you expect me to come quietly with you if you just had some hostages in hand? C'mon, I barely know whoever those two you caught were. Grill them, fry them, steam them, do whatever the hell you want with them. What do I care about the fate of two faceless strangers?)

Recalling those words as well, Li Zi Xiang remarks—

"That surnamed Long is a real piece of work..."

Agreeing with Li Zi Xiang, Chen Lan nods, and replies—

"I wouldn't trust my back to him."

Raising a subtle sigh, Shao Tianming remarks—

"He probably won't trust his back to anyone else either. That look in his eyes, it tells me—that he doesn't even consider his own squad-mates as comrades."
