Xia Chuhe drew his gun with his backhand and fired three shots.

Her marksmanship wasn't very accurate; she hit two people with three shots.

During the time he regained his superpowers, Xia Chuhe didn't think things would end easily, so he took some things from the farm as backup, and the pistol was just one of them.

The chef's expression of ecstasy froze on his face.

Dr. Han looked on incredulously: "Why...how could you...hurt me?"

Xia Chuhe laughed and said, "Because your god is not omnipotent, this is a pistol specifically designed to target superpowered individuals."

Having narrowly escaped being shot, Xu Nuo exclaimed in surprise, "You actually had something like this hidden away! Who are you? Why did you enter the Rules Land of Evil Valley?!"

"I should be asking you that question," Xia Chuhe said in a deep voice, "What kind of person do you want to buy? What will you do with them?"

Having no chance of winning, Xu Nuo gave up in desperation and sneered, "Buying someone like you to have babies, hahaha... Isn't a woman's greatest value her womb?"

This remark thoroughly enraged Xia Chuhe.

She disdained to probe Xu Nuo's motives with words, and went straight to take out the Soul Searching Technique, which she only had one chance to use, to read Xu Nuo's past.

After being tortured by the Soul Searching Technique, Xu Nuo became an idiot.

Xia Chuhe's gaze toward him grew increasingly disgusted; this man deserved his fate, and killing him would be too dirty for her hands.

But due to the circumstances, they had no choice but to kill.

A god who has lost his believers shrinks considerably, lying listlessly on the ground like a lump of mud mixed with too much water.

Lu Dangui picked up the sample box, covered the deity with his hand, and asked, "What should we do?"

Ultimately, Dr. Han's deity is nothing more than a creature composed of microorganisms.

The factors that affect the survival of microorganisms are nothing more than temperature and humidity.

The two men, carrying the sample box, sneaked into the kitchen, started a fire, and burned the deity.

The silt looked even more wilted, but it still hadn't lost its vitality.

The two waited patiently for about an hour, but still hadn't completely killed the god.

Xia Chuhe slapped his forehead: "I almost forgot, we took the sample in the polar night environment, and it is afraid of light."

But this doesn't make sense either, since the research institute was brightly lit and didn't have a negative impact on the gods.

Lu Dangui said, "If high temperatures and light cannot kill it, what about extremely low temperatures?"

Lu Danggui's words reminded Xia Chuhe.

There will be an antidote within three steps.

Perhaps, the thing that can subdue the gods lies deep in the polar regions.

The two decided to return to the sample collection site.

The research institute had ample fuel and food. The two prepared their supplies, took their maps, and set off.

Xia Chuhe drove the car, while Lu Dangui closely observed the state of the deity.

As the journey progressed, the deity's body gradually shrank, and the deep black color faded away.

When the two finally reached the collection point, the god had already turned into several shattered blocks of ice.

Xia Chuhe laughed and said, "It seems we came to the right place."

Lu Dangui asked, "Should we bury it again?"

"Bury it!"

The two used a spiral drill to dig a pit nearly three meters deep, poured ice into the pit, and then filled the pit in.

After all this was done, a bright white light suddenly burst forth from the ice surface, and a book was born from the white light, floating in the air.

Xia Chuhe grabbed the book; the cover bore the title "The History of Time."

The book records the history of the wasteland's formation, just as they experienced in the Land of Evil Valley.

No, reality is even crueler than the world governed by rules.

Dr. Han is dragging all of humanity down with him for his research project.

The institute's director, Qi Zhen, didn't even have a chance to stop him. The moment Qi Zhen learned of Dr. Han's bizarre research, he was killed.

Good people die, while bad people thrive.

The expedition that brought the gods to the human world was entirely composed of good people. They didn't experience the dangers of the Land of Rules, nor did they find themselves in dire straits. Instead, each of them awakened supernatural abilities and became a devoted follower of the gods.

Lu Danggui pondered the expedition members.

She hadn't gone on the adventure with Boss Qian, nor had she read about Xu Nuo's experiences, so naturally she didn't know where the evil lay among the others.

Xia Chuhe described to her the experiences of Boss Qian and others in the ice cave, as well as the backgrounds of Xu Ding and Xu Nuo.

The two grew up in a remote town outside the base.

Their city is very poor.

How poor were they?

They were so poor that they couldn't even afford to pay for an artificial womb.

Impoverished small towns cannot retain people, let alone support them.

Xu Ding and Xu Nuo were the most powerful people in the city, enjoying the treatment of local emperors. If they left the small town, the two brothers would no longer be able to act so arrogantly.

Therefore, they were unwilling to leave and even wanted the small town to continue.

The two were unwilling to pay for the artificial womb, so they simply bought a person through special channels.

They traded in the Valley of Villains multiple times, but later, after hearing that there were preferential treatments through the Land of Rules, they dared to give it a try.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Xia Chuhe and Lu Dangui, and the two brothers both lost their lives.

Lu Dangui's focus was unusual: "If they're the bad guys, then what about the director? What did he do?"

Xia Chuhe was taken aback.

"Who cares? Let's get out of here once this is over! This place of rules is a total rip-off; we didn't get a single penny out of it!"

Unbeknownst to them, those who had entered the Land of Rules earlier were all united at the God's Choice Point, and there was no subsequent incident whatsoever.

However, those who choose to become believers in the gods are all restricted by the rules of the Valley of Villains after leaving the land of rules. They are forced to choose only the option that leans towards evil and selfishness whenever faced with a choice.

Lu Dangui disagreed with Xia Chuhe's idea: "There is a harvest. The history of the years is the history of the wasteland. In the wasteland, there exists a god."

The foundation of their existence is not the floating islands above the ground, but their understanding of history and the truth of the wasteland world.

Those in positions of power must know of the existence of gods!

They can even communicate with the gods!

Xia Chuhe had a sudden realization: "The upper class is immune to superpowers! Is it possible... that their abilities were bestowed upon them by the gods!"

Lu Dangui said softly, "I'm sorry, I stayed up there for so long but didn't get any useful information."

"Who said that? If it weren't for your reminder, I would have forgotten all about history books long ago. You are my guiding light!"

Xia Chuhe was so happy that he almost picked up Lu Danggui and spun her around.

Although they buried the gods and obtained the Book of Time, the two could not find a way to leave the land of rules.

Xia Chuhe said, "Go back to where you came from. If there's no way out here, go to the research institute."

I feel like a player in some game, being dragged around by quests, running back and forth aimlessly, which is meaningless and annoying.

Lu Dangui smiled and touched her forehead to comfort her.

The two got back onto the tracked vehicle.

With no deity weighing on her mind, Xia Chuhe looked around curiously, and the camera next to the control panel caught her attention.

The camera is for the director.

It contains polar scenery and videos of sled repair.

Perhaps there's something else too.
