My carefree life in space

Chapter 183 Location of the Ruins

Over the next few days, Lin Shushu and Mo Ze went on several more missions with the Blazing Fire Mercenary Group, and the process went smoothly.

During this period, Lin Shushu did not take any action, but she provided energy liquid, which raised everyone's respect for her to the same level as Mo Ze's.

An Energy Master is a very prestigious title in the Olay Empire, especially since she came from the Jin Yuan Empire and mastered the method of extracting energy liquid in a short period of time, something many people cannot do.

Half a month passed in the midst of busy times searching for people and doing tasks, until a sensational piece of news spread throughout the Olay Empire.

Someone has found mysterious ruins!

In just two days, the news spread like wildfire throughout the Olay Empire. Everyone was in an uproar. Had they found the ruins, it mean they could return to their homeland and fulfill their ancestors' millennia-long dream of returning home?

Just as everyone was excited and eager to go to the mysterious ruins, another piece of news came: the first group of people who went to the ruins had disappeared.

This news dampened everyone's excitement by half. They then realized with a start that if it were really that easy to find, there wouldn't have been no news of it for thousands of years.

Fortunately, the approximate location of the ruins was correct; otherwise, how could one explain where the missing people went? This is the optimistic view of many, who prefer to believe that this is the price that must be paid to find the ruins.

Perhaps considering the idea that more people means more power, the royal family of the Olay Empire issued a proclamation encouraging capable individuals to search for the ruins, promising rewards to anyone who made a significant discovery.

Even without a reward waiting in the wings, everyone's interest has been piqued. Will their ancestors' wishes be fulfilled in their generation? Will they be able to experience that beautiful and magical world firsthand?

Lin Shushu and Mo Ze were also very excited when they heard the news. They had been keeping an eye on the ruins, but nothing had come of it. Now that the news had been released, they no longer needed to search for them.

This was the regular gathering time for the Fiery Mercenary Group, and everyone gathered at Kyle's house.

"Since everyone's here today, I'd like to ask for your opinions on something." Once everyone was present, Kyle adopted a posture as if he wanted to discuss something.

"Boss, are you trying to talk about the ruins?" Eli asked directly, and the others looked at Kyle, waiting for his answer.

Kyle nodded. "It seems everyone is quite interested in this. What do you all think? Should we join in the fun?"

“Is that even a question? Of course I’ll go!” Resia replied eagerly.

“I agree to go too,” said Lina, who was usually quiet.

The others nodded in agreement. They all wanted to see it for themselves. If they could witness the world where their ancestors lived, they would have no regrets in this life.

Kyle wasn't surprised by this result at all, because he himself was very excited when he heard the news and couldn't wait to find the ruins. However, there were some things that needed to be clarified before setting off.

"I agree with you, but you should be prepared that there are many uncertainties on this trip, and we may not be able to come out unscathed."

These words left no room for rebuttal, and for a moment, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Rishia's gaze swept over Mo Ze and the other person, and his eyes lit up. Didn't they have a strong member joining them? Their safety should be guaranteed, right? Besides, they just need to be careful.

Kyle was also looking at Moze at this moment. He carefully spoke up, "Moze, weren't you guys quite interested in the mysterious ruins the other day? Why don't you come with us this time?"

Although Mo Ze had joined the Blazing Fire Mercenary Group, Kyle knew he wouldn't stay there for long, especially since Mo Ze was stronger than him, so he never dared to order him around as the group leader.

Mo Ze pretended to ask Lin Shushu a question with his eyes. After she nodded, he looked at Kyle and replied, "We are now part of the Blazing Fire, so naturally we will follow the team."

Seeing that he agreed, the others finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

"Alright, in that case, everyone go back and get ready. We'll set off tomorrow," Kyle said, clapping his hands in final farewell.

Many others made the same decision, and for a time, energy liquids and other self-defense items became scarce, with all available stock sold out. At this point, the advantage of having an energy master in the family or team became apparent.

As a newly promoted energy master in the Blazing Fire Mercenary Group, Lin Shushu is responsible for extracting energy fluid for the group. Of course, this is limited. If more is desired, additional payment is required, which is a consensus in the Olay Empire.

While the Olay Empire encourages exploration of ruins, those wishing to travel must register with the imperial authorities and obtain a pass, which is issued only to Olay citizens. In other words, while it doesn't restrict travel to foreigners, the person in charge must be an Olay citizen.

The next day, after gathering, the group went to collect their passes. It was the first time Lin Shushu and Mo Ze had seen so many people from the Jin Yuan Empire in the Aolai Empire. The people there were quite surprised to see them, as their faces were unfamiliar, suggesting they must have only recently arrived in the Aolai Empire.

Lin Shushu carefully observed those people, but to her disappointment, she didn't find the person she was looking for.

The journey to the ruins would take half a month of interstellar travel. Lin Shushu and Mo Ze traveled with the Blazing Fire Mercenary Group, and although there were some minor setbacks along the way, they all passed through safely.

Two weeks later, the spaceship finally arrived in the airspace where the ruins were located. According to previous information, the ruins were on the planet below. Looking out the porthole, the planet resembled a mysterious behemoth, exuding a cold yet alluring aura.

"Why would the ruins become an uninhabited planet?" Lin Shushu asked curiously, her question escaping her lips.

The Orleans in the group looked at each other in bewilderment. "Oh, why is that? If our ancestors had always lived here, why would we have needed to search for thousands of years?"

"Well...we don't know the reason either," Kyle said honestly.

"Could there be some danger on this planet that forced our ancestors to move away, and then something happened that caused the planet to drift away from its original location, which is why we haven't been able to find it?" Saiwei offered his guess.

This guess sounded reasonable, and everyone agreed with it. However, it also weighed heavily on everyone's minds. If this were true, it would mean that there were definitely many dangers on the planet, perhaps even unimaginable ones.

Looking at the planet's outer atmosphere, which was churning with colorful energy storms, it seemed as if a giant net was waiting for everyone to crawl into it.

The spaceship cautiously approached, trying to find a suitable landing point, but the closer it got, the stronger the interference with the navigation equipment became, and Gray, who was piloting the spaceship, was sweating profusely.

Seeing this, Mo Ze used his mental power to stabilize the spaceship, finally shaking off the interference. Apart from Lin Shushu, no one knew what Mo Ze had done. The others assumed the interference was over, and their tense expressions finally relaxed as they continued searching for a landing site.
