The ruins have opened?
Hearing the High Priest's voice, the major powers were in an uproar, with some impatiently eager to rush towards the base.
Those were the idle ones, some belonging to small factions and lacking foresight.
So, as some people rushed towards the base, the sound of machine guns erupted, and those at the forefront fell to the ground.
In an instant, at least a dozen people were killed!
The remaining ones no longer dared to charge.
At this moment, a burly man with a full beard threw down his machine gun and jumped off a jeep, cursing, "What kind of people dare to rush forward? In such a hurry to meet the God of Death?"
Members of the Tamo Mercenary Group!
Many recoiled with apprehension. That was a legitimate, top-ranked mercenary organization, and quite a few of them had arrived, a full one to two hundred.
Among the Tamo Mercenary Group, a blonde man smiled and said, "Sorry, our mercenary group has many people, so we'll have to go ahead!"
Silence fell around them!
Then, this arrogant and overbearing mercenary group entered the base first, as the entrance to the ruins was located somewhere within the base.
Besides the Tamo Mercenary Group, several other mercenary organizations entered.
One by one, factions, organizations, and even powerful armed groups were now orderly proceeding towards the ruin entrance in the base.
"Brother-in-law, when do we go in?"
Xu Shi'an, like the others, was very excited. After all, he had never entered a ruin before and was somewhat thrilled by the unknown things within.
Ye Cangtian, with a cigarette in his mouth, scanned the people entering the base. Seeing Xu Shi'an and the other team members looking eager, he shrugged.
"What's the hurry? Let these self-important fellows go in and scout first!"
Although ruins held resources and treasures, it wasn't that whoever entered first had a greater chance. Instead, whoever walked in front was more likely to be cannon fodder.
Thousands of people queuing to enter the base also took time.
However, Ye Cangtian did spot several familiar faces, such as Huang San and Huang Wu, mingling among the crowd.
Also, a few members of the Death God mercenary team were scattered and had also infiltrated.
"Sister Qiangwei, I really don't want to go. I heard it's very dangerous inside. As a weak woman, what if some villain covets my beauty?"
Not far away, a girl with a baby-like face was being dragged into the base by a cold and elegant woman, her face etched with distress.
It was Qiangwei and Yao Bao'er!
Earlier, Yao Bao'er had thought of entering the ruins to see if there was anything delicious inside. But after the Tamo mercenary group's leader killed over a dozen people with a burst of gunfire just now, Yao Bao'er got scared.
These guys were so brutal; wouldn't she, a weak woman, be walking into a tiger's den?
Soon, she spotted Ye Cangtian standing at the base entrance smoking and ran over for help, tightly gripping his arm.
"Boss, Boss, save me!"
"Bao'er! Although it's dangerous inside, Qiangwei will protect you!" Ye Cangtian said with a dry laugh, pulling his arm out of her grasp.
This girl, though quite attractive, was someone the entire Death God team, including Ye Cangtian, had been wary of having too much physical contact with since she became the "Ten Thousand Butcher" two years ago.
Who knew if the cosmetics Yao Bao'er wore had any issues? This girl was sometimes muddle-headed and forgetful.
"Also, there might be some rare treasures in the ruins, and perhaps even delicious food!"
After Ye Cangtian finished speaking, he turned back and asked Xu Shi'an and the others for some snacks they were carrying, then stuffed them into Yao Bao'er's arms.
Seeing the snacks, the girl's eyes lit up.
Qiangwei glanced at Xu Shi'an and the others, then looked at Ye Cangtian. After a moment, she said, "Then we'll go in first!"
"Mm, be careful once you're inside!"
Ye Cangtian could guess Qiangwei's intention of infiltrating the ruins; it seemed they had accepted many bounty missions. Although the ruins were dangerous, he was quite at ease with Qiangwei and her group.
As long as they didn't encounter any Earth-level powerhouses from the Dark Association or people from the Light Hall, the so-called world-class powers wouldn't pose much of a threat to them once inside the ruins.
Soon, Qiangwei, pulling Yao Bao'er who was happily eating snacks after opening a chocolate box, entered the base.
Xu Shi'an couldn't help but ask, "Brother-in-law, it's so dangerous inside. That girl just now seemed really weak; will she be alright?"
He then mumbled, "Last time, I heard Scorpion say that the strongest in your Death God team is someone called the Ten Thousand Butcher. When can you introduce me?"
"Ten Thousand Butcher? Didn't you just see her?" Ye Cangtian's lips curved upwards slightly.
Xu Shi'an froze, then his eyes widened.
Was it that baby-faced girl who claimed to be a weak woman just now? No way!
And at this moment, on the distant sand dunes, off-road vehicles kicked up sand as they drove towards them, suggesting another major power was arriving.
"It's the Pandora Mercenary Group!" Mu Chenglong said beside him with a frown.
This was because the cars all bore the flag of Pandora's Box, fluttering in the wind, very conspicuous!
The Pandora Mercenary Group, the third-ranked organization in the Mercenary Alliance.
The reason this organization ranked third was not due to its large number of members but its formidable strength and extensive combat experience.
It had even engaged with an elite special forces unit from a certain beautiful country in the past, emerging with zero casualties and a clean retreat, shocking the world.
Ye Cangtian was also aware of this.
Pandora was previously just a mercenary organization within the top twenty, but later, a person joined Pandora, leading to its complete rise.
Ye Cangtian recognized this person!
Soon, over a dozen off-road vehicles stopped at the base entrance. Well-trained mercenaries disembarked, each holding bayonets, exuding a fierce aura.
From one of the cars, a woman emerged.
She was wrapped in a form-fitting leather suit, appearing to have a great figure. This was Pandora's leader—Misha!
After getting out of the car, Misha scanned Ye Cangtian and his group, her brows revealing undisguised killing intent. She gritted her teeth and scoffed, "People from China's Dragon Group!"
At the same time, dozens of fierce Pandora mercenaries also showed killing intent, advancing towards the base entrance.
"Stop!"
A soft shout suddenly came from the rear. The passenger door of Misha's car opened, and a familiar figure finally appeared.
Zhao Ziyang!
Ye Cangtian was not surprised, a smile appearing on his face. Many of the Dragon Group members behind him looked embarrassed.
Misha said coldly, "China's Dragon Group caused you so much harm!"
"No, that was my own fault; it has nothing to do with them! Besides, everyone has their own duties, and I am Chinese for life!" Zhao Ziyang shook his head and walked forward.
He was once a member of China's Dragon Group, so receiving punishment for making mistakes was normal!
Misha's brows furrowed, but she finally waved her hand, and the Pandora members behind her withdrew their killing intent.
Zhao Ziyang slowly walked to the front, stopping before Ye Cangtian and his group. He smiled bitterly, "We meet again!"
"Yes! Quite a bit has changed. I thought you would continue to fall into depravity!" Ye Cangtian shrugged and joked.
The last time Ye Cangtian saw Zhao Ziyang, the latter had been coerced by Yuwen Chengji to engage Ye Cangtian in a life-and-death battle. However, after a fierce fight, they became friends!
Ye Cangtian thought of something and couldn't help but say, "Your daughter is very safe now!"
"Thank you!"
Zhao Ziyang nodded slightly. His most cherished person in this life was his only daughter.
Even if he couldn't return to China, couldn't see his daughter, as long as she was alive and well, that was his greatest wish!
Zhao Ziyang looked at the others. Some of the Dragon Group members were familiar, like Zhang Liang, while others were new, full of vigor.
Looking at these people reminded him of his days in the Dragon Group.
"Cap... Captain!"
Behind Ye Cangtian, Mu Chenglong stepped forward. He looked at Zhao Ziyang, his expression somewhat excited and complex!
