Misfortune and fortune are intertwined.

People often say that misfortune can turn into fortune, and that after the worst comes the best.

Misfortune and good fortune can change in the blink of an eye.

Even if the result is "very auspicious," the process is often fraught with danger.

Nowadays, Bu Yi's special ability is mostly used to distinguish the authenticity of forum information, while results related to dungeons, rules, etc., are used as a reference for action.

A counterattack from above could come at any time, and Xia Chuhe had no choice but to find a solution.

There have been many "bad" moments in the past, haven't we all overcome them?

...

After arranging various matters in the city, Xia Chuhe and Li Qiusheng disguised themselves and crossed the base diagonally from southeast to west, eventually arriving at the Lost City.

There are often large mountains along the way.

The mountain ridges are like scorched bones, the ground is cracked and dry, exposing dark rock layers, not a blade of grass grows, and not a trace of moss can be seen.

The moonlight poured onto the rocks, suddenly becoming withered, as if even the light itself had been sucked dry by this desolate place.

Even the two, who were used to endless yellow sand, felt quite depressed when they saw this scene.

Just as they were getting close to the Lost City, a towering pine tree was found perched atop the black mountain, where there wasn't a trace of greenery.

“A mutated plant,” Li Qiusheng said. “I won’t go see it now; I’ll deal with it when we get out.”

Fearing that summer weeding might cause unforeseen complications, he readily agreed.

The Lost City is built against the mountain, with its own natural barrier, so no city walls were built. The landmark leaning tower means that the two are getting closer and closer to their destination.

The wind whipped up sand, which passed through the broken suspension track and struck the half-suspended titanium alloy sign. The neon tubes were already broken, and occasionally the bulbs flickered, but they couldn't form words.

The moving motorcycle was jolted by the obstacle, causing a slight jolt.

Li Qiusheng, sitting in the back seat, looked down and squinted to see a mechanical arm with a missing finger on the sandy surface of the road, seemingly using its last strength to prevent the two from entering the city.

The city's circular suspended rail is just a stone's throw away; once you cross the rail, you'll have entered the Forgotten City.

Xia Chuhe eased off the accelerator and slowed down.

The motorcycle suddenly sank down, the body shook violently, and then it was thrown hard into the air. When it landed back down, the path was like a child jumping on a trampoline.

In a daze, it seemed as if a dragon was moving underground, but it disappeared in an instant.

Xia Chuhe refused to believe it and tried driving again, only to be bounced back as before.

There's something blocking the way underground.

Li Qiusheng jumped off the car and took off his helmet: "I'll go down and take a look."

As she spoke, she vanished underground.

In the blink of an eye, Li Qiusheng and the motorcycle experienced the same fate: they were turned into dirt and then ejected as people, almost hitting Xia Chuhe when they fell from the sky.

This unexpected turn of events left Li Qiusheng humiliated and in a very sorry state.

“Underground are… tree roots.” Li Qiusheng paused briefly before finding the correct descriptive word. “That’s right, tree roots. They… spoke to me.”

When he was thrown out, wrapped up in a ball by the tree roots, Li Qiusheng heard a clear mechanical sound.

She repeated the mechanical voice's warning: "It's hell inside, don't go in."

root……

Xia Chuhe gazed at the only giant tree on the mountain.

The pine needles rustled and shook, their sound incredibly penetrating the distance to reach Xia Chuhe's ears, as if saying, "Hey, that's right, it's me."

Xia Chuhe bent down and placed his hand on the ground: "Thank you for your kindness, but we have reasons to go in."

The ground trembled, tree roots detached, and a soft rumbling sound was heard.

Xia Chuhe vaguely heard the giant pine mutter, "Fine, fine, I won't stop you from courting death."

"Is it really that?" Li Qiusheng asked somewhat guiltily, remembering what he had said earlier about getting it. "How about we take out that winter cicada and have it scout the way for us?"

Xia Chuhe belatedly realized Li Qiusheng's prejudice against cicadas and said with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "Let's wait a bit, we'll talk about it once we get into town."

Without the giant pine tree blocking their way, the two successfully crossed the ring road and officially entered the Lost City.

The scene of the abandoned city that I had just seen faded away quickly, and was replaced by a bustling scene.

The leaning tower slowly straightened, the broken tracks were smoothly reconnected, and all rust was gone. Neon lights flashed on the huge titanium alloy sign, forming a colorful and vibrant "Welcome to Twin Cities"...

Li Qiusheng took a step back, but his body seemed to be tightly pulled by silk threads, unable to leave the Twin City even half a step.

Xia Chuhe reached out and took her hand to comfort her.

"Look, what a blue sky!"

A child's exclamation came from nearby.

Xia Chuhe glanced up and saw a clear blue sky dotted with fluffy white clouds, the kind of sky one would expect in a modern, well-maintained city.

"This is the unique simulated sky of Twin Cities. When Twin Cities expand, the simulated sky will also be expanded! By the way, little friend, what is your main purpose for coming to Twin Cities? Tourism or participating in the Mechanical Ascension Project?"

A bright, youthful voice rang out; it turned out to be a palm-sized mechanical ball, floating in the air.

The adult, holding the child tightly, said in a dry voice, "Tourism, tourism... Let's take a look first."

"Alright! Please follow me to collect your identification tags, you three." The ball flew towards the neon lights. There were two rooms under the sign, with signs on the doors that read "Visitor Registration" and "Entrance to the Mechanical Ascension Project."

The mechanical ball led the family who had just been talking to the visitor registration area, occasionally circling around them, looking quite adorable.

Xia Chuhe looked at the family. The child was very thin, with a pointed face and frighteningly large eyes. The child was being held in the arms of an adult and seemed unhealthy.

During the observation, another mechanical ball flew towards the two of them and asked them the same question: whether their purpose was tourism or to participate in the mechanical ascension.

"Mechanical ascension, what is that?" Li Qiusheng asked.
