My Doomsday Territory Chapter 459: Breaking Into a Private Residence

Chapter 459: Breaking Into a Private Residence

Holy Land, at its glory days, was a place to nurture geniuses.

Countless Saints lived in the town, the Saints who possess immortal knowledge and endless techniques… Among what Tang Yu had imagined, the saint domain should be like the immortal world.

A floating city, hanging mountain suspended in the air, stuffs like that.

His imagination wasn’t an exaggeration. Before his eyes, there was a high geometric tower hanging thousands of meters in the sky.

But…

There was a smooth cut on the Tower of Heaven, which made it lean on its side.

The waterfall hanging thousands of meters high in the sky also suffered the destruction of unexplainable forces, only a few remaining waters pouring down. Although it was still spectacular, nobody knows how glorious it was before.

The grand city in the distance also looks ravaged and dead.

Most of the buildings were still intact, but at some places, they suffered severe destruction. There was also a huge crater in the ground; its impact wiped out everything surrounding it as if a drop of water had fallen onto the most beautiful painting.

The whole city seemed to be cut off at the waist, and further away was an endless black light that was haunting.

‘This couldn’t be the original appearance of the Holy Land, right?’

One could only wonder.

Tang Yu shook his head, and he looked back at the mist that he had crossed before. There were endless stretches of mountains and lush forests. Elaine and the other looked around carefully at the magnificent view presented before them.

After they came here, the mechanical and dull voice of the Holy Land went silent…

There might not be any hint from the voice, but Tang Yu was sure that something would happen in the city.

‘The city seemed close, but in reality, it was far away.’

Because they need to walk together with each other, and every member of this exploration counts.

Their journey was slow.

There were no walls, only an abandoned building.

Although the style was very different from the modern era, very much in line with the aesthetics of modern humans, as far as the eye can see, there were many buildings set aside in the twenty-first century, future technology.

Even after the cruel passage of time, although most buildings were destroyed, some still stood tall.

In the city, there were no people and no other hunters who had been granted access… Looking around, Tang Yu couldn’t figure out where the opportunity was for a while.

“Since the Holy Land is a city, there must be residential areas, commercial areas, and other areas. Not all places are valuable, and it is necessary to find the place where geniuses were cultivated back then.”

Thinking about it, even if the large area of the city was already destroyed, it was still huge and vast, larger than the entire defensive perimeter of the Northern Court, and nobody knew how huge this place was.

Scouting it little by little was too inefficient.

“Right now, it seems that there is no danger in the Holy Land. There is no need for the whole team to gather together, split into several teams for the time being. That way, it will be faster to fully explore this area.”

“Hm.“

“The director is right.”

“Some people came in earlier than us, and we can’t let them get ahead of us.”

In Tang Yu’s plan, the team had one transcendent as the core so that in case of danger, they could fight and make a distress signal.

When exploring, the transcendent sits in the center, and the others spread out. This could also greatly improve the efficiency of the search for clues, much faster than being in one team.

“Old Yan, Kong, Hong Yue, Gretel, you guys each lead a team.”

Kong, Gretel, and Hong Yue were the new mortal in recent times. After the breakthrough, their battle power improved rapidly and was not weaker than Old Man Dingtian, or maybe they were stronger than him.

Elaine suddenly spoke, “I’m on a team with you.”

Nancy also raised her hand, “Me too.”

Tang Yu was clear that Elaine and Nancy did this for his safety. Whether or not there would be any danger lurking in the Holy Land, it was impossible to answer, but many people entered the Holy Land from different places.

Even though he now has a battle power comparable to, or even sufficient to kill ordinary mortals, but Tang Yu himself was still in his awakening stage, there were shortcomings. If there are mortals who are good at sneak attacks, it is likely to pose a threat to him.

Initially, Tang Yu didn’t want to let Nancy to led a team due to her reckless behavior, so this creating a team with her and Elaine would be a great idea.

Since Elaine also agreed, he nodded.

“In that case, we’ll split into five teams and advance from different directions, and if we meet any situation, remember to contact through the summoning crystal ball or shoot flares ……”

After saying that, Tang Yu took Elaine, Nancy, and the personal guard team members who expanded to twenty-four, a hundred members of the investigation corps, and a dozen Intelligence Department hunter with him and set out on their journey.

Other teams went in other directions, but their ultimate goal was the same – the center of the Holy Land.

Generally, the Holy Land’s important buildings should be located in the inner ring, which might contain countless treasures.

Straight ahead along the avenue.

On both sides, there were luxurious residences. Tang Yu chose one of them that looked the most luxurious. As soon as he walked in, a light curtain emerged in front of the spacious gate, which pushed him away.

Tang Yu: “……”

‘I thought these places could be entered casually.’

“Looks like we can’t enter any of these houses. Might be protected by the warding rune,” Elaine said.

Warding rune was also a kind of rune array, mainly used as a protective barrier surrounding an object.

The warding rune in front of them was, to put it bluntly, a doorstop, but there was no access card, so that they couldn’t enter.

Tang Yu raised the golden stripe at the back of his hand, but no response.

“This marking on my hand is the key to the Holy Land, and perhaps one can even enter certain important places for the first time with this, but apparently… these mansions are private homes.”

Rubbing his chin, Tang Yu suddenly shouted, “Is anyone there?”

Echoes curled up.

“If there’s no response, then we’ll be breaking in.”

There were two ways to break the warding rune: cracking the code, and the other was by…… violence.

Tang Yu opened his “eye of insight” and saw dozens of energy nodes above the mansion, constantly changing direction.

“looks like we need to break ten of them at the same time to unlock the rune.”

It was a bit complicated. Even with the aid of the “Eye of Insight”, it made his eyes dizzy.

The difficulty was much more serious than the previous illusion formation of the alien race.

As expected from second-era technology… But, still, it was only a private house’s warding rune and not a confidential place.

‘How about ……’

He raised his hand, the flame condensed into a ball blasted on the light curtain of the warding rune, the light curtain rippled and soon stabilized.

“Let’s do it together.”

Tang Yu took a step back. Several hunters who were good at long-range attacks in the personal guard and investigation corps shot all kinds of spells and natural abilities into the rune. The light curtain’s ripple got more and more violent.

Not only in front of the gate, the rune even covered the surrounding walls. All emerged from the forbidden light curtain, like an inverted bowl, covering the entire residence.

And at this time, the bowl continued to tremble and finally exploded with a bang.

Some people couldn’t protect themselves in time, and the energy flames blasted out, smashing down on the surrounding area.

Rumble –

Flames rose up, but, unexpectedly, the walls did not collapse. The ground that wasn’t covered by the rune was the only area that took damage.

‘As expected from Holy Land.’

Then Tang Yu waved his hand, “Alright, everyone let’s search the entire mansions and take anything interesting, books, weapons, anything. Don’t disappoint our ancestors by leaving any valuable things in this place. All of the materials gathered here will be used for scientific purposes.”

All of the hunters after they heard Tang Yu’s command: “……”
