Monster Paradise

Early the next morning, the weather in Summer Palace City was still beautiful.

Lin Huang just woke up and received a briefing from the Federal Government.

“Recently, there have been a number of murders in Summer Palace City at position 7B61, and the truth has been uncovered. The murderer was an insane felon who escaped from Summer Palace prison, with a total of 15 escapees, 12 of whom have been captured. The remaining three are still in pursuit, please don't panic. ”

“In order to prevent criminals from fleeing the city, the four gates of Summer Palace City will begin martial law investigations from now on, and everyone is invited to cooperate with the investigation. Patrols will also be intensified in the city, and curfews will begin after 8 p.m., so please don't go out. If you need to go out on an important matter, you can apply to the local government before 5pm…"

“I did hide the truth…” Lin Huanghuang glanced at the announcement of the Federal Government, indicating that things had become quite serious and had to be dealt with.

After breakfast with Lin Xin, Lin Huang rode the Green Wolf straight towards the west gate of the stronghold.

Lin Xin kept seeing him disappear, so he went back to the hotel room with Bai.

At the western gate of the stronghold, the city guards were checking and were lined up for both the exit and the entrance.

Lin Huang was helpless and had to retract the Green Wolf queue.

I was out of the hotel at around 8: 00, and by the time I got out of the gate, it was almost 10: 00.

It took less than 10 minutes to summon the purple-eyed white sculpture and Lin Huang arrived in Xiaoxia City.

Xiaoxia City, a small D-level stronghold.

According to common sense, there should be no other position at just over 80 kilometres from Summer Palace City, a Class B position. Because the establishment of each stronghold would require considerable resources, the establishment of strongholds at such a close distance would be a waste of resources.

However, owing to the presence of the Summer Palace site, the Federal Government has established a dedicated position here.

The stronghold was established not initially to develop tourist areas, but because of archaeological needs.

Before the Little Summer City was built, there was a wilderness near the site of the Summer Palace. Archaeologists have lived here for a long time, are vulnerable to monster attacks and need no resources, returning to Summer Palace City, 80 kilometres away at a time. So the coalition government simply spent a lot of money building a small stronghold around the Summer Palace site, now Little Summer City.

Subsequently, a group of archaeologists left, and essentially everything that could be moved from the Summer Palace site was removed. It is also a pity that the Federal Government felt that the strongholds that it had built up with considerable resources had been abandoned and simply developed into a tourist attraction.

The mysterious nature of the Summer Palace site itself, combined with the propaganda of the Federal Government, has really become a popular attraction.

With attractions becoming popular and geographical advantages close to Summer Palace City, many others have moved here to settle, and with the policy support of the Federal Government, this small stronghold has become increasingly lively.

Entering Xiaoxia City, Lin Huang thought he had come to the wrong place, because the level of liveliness of this D-level position is no less than the hegemonic city of C-level position. It is not known whether tourist attractions lead to more visitors, or whether this is due to the proximity to Summer Palace City.

Upon entering the city, Lin Huanghuang recalled the Green Wolf, opened the map positioning of the Imperial Heart Ring, and quickly found the location of the Summer Palace site.

The hotel he booked the first night was less than a kilometre from the south gate of the Summer Palace site.

Following the map, Lin Huang quickly found the location of the hotel. He also found that Xiaoxia City was really quite large, almost four or five large in Ulin Town, close to a third of the city.

By the time we got to the hotel, it wasn't even 10: 30. Lin Huang thought he was early and could not check in. He went to the reception desk to find out that he could stay.

The hotel is a small antique building with only five floors and no floating ladder.

After checking in at the front desk, Lin Huang stepped up the wooden stairs.

The stairs are a little old and creaking from stepping on them, but they're clean.

Lin Huang's room is on the fifth floor, the room number is 505. He only found five rooms on the first floor after going on the fifth floor. With the exception of the ground floor, the hotel actually has only twenty rooms.

“Is it off-season now?” Lin Huanghuang felt a little surprised. It is now summer vacation, according to reason, there should be quite a few people traveling. A hotel in such a good location, with so few rooms, is not full.

The door opened into the room and the room was quite clear and unsightly, which made Lin Huang quite satisfied.

This room is a view room with a balcony facing the Summer Palace site.

The site is underground and, with no higher houses surrounding it, stands on a balcony overlooking part of the site wrapped under a protective layer.

She stood on the balcony and watched for a while. Lin Huang had just left the house and had just met a couple of young couples who had checked into their next room.

I went down to the first floor and saw the middle-aged shop owner, who was slightly fat, at the reception desk, and he said hello, "Boss, is this the off-season? ”

“Summer holidays are just a few days away, and people who come to travel will initially go to Summer Palace City to play for a while before they come to our side, so the business is average. You're early, so it's not easy to have a spare room, if you wait another three or five days, and you want to book another room with us.” The shop owner explained with a smile.

“It turns out...” Lin Huang originally thought there were other reasons why the hotel business was bad. It really makes sense to hear the owner explain this.

“Boss, I think this hotel has been open for some years, you must have been in this little summer city for a long time?” Lin Huang continued to chill.

“I've been here for over twenty years and this hotel has been open for eighteen years.” The shop owner nodded with a smile.

“Are there any legendary stories about this Summer Palace site that we outsiders have never heard of?” Lin Huang asked again, "tell me. ”

“The remains of the Summer Palace have always been mysterious, and there are not many legends about it. However, after all these years, I've heard one mention, and if the Guest is interested, you can listen to it as a story, but not really. ”

Lin Huang nodded and the shop owner told the story.

“In ancient times, an empire was said to have been built by a powerful man known as the Xia 'an Emperor, the site of the Summer Palace, which was his walking house. His people had billions, and he was loved by his people. Then one day, the heavens will come down to evil. I don't know what happened, overnight, the whole empire disappeared, nor did Xia Wang and his palace disappear, as if they never existed... Of course, nobody knows whether the legendary Summer Palace disappeared or not is this Summer Palace of the ruins. ”

After listening to the store owner tell the story, Lin Huang silenced for a moment, hurried to satisfy the nod. "I haven't heard of you. Are there any other stories? ”

“No, everything else has been on the Internet.” The boss spread his hands open and shook his head.

“Well, then I'll go to the ruins. Thank you, boss!” Lin Huang turned around and left the hotel entrance, heading straight towards the south gate of the site not far away.
