Chapter 1893 Forbidden Forest

Zhuo Yun took a couple of steps forward upon hearing this. He wanted to see what was so different about the laser equipment. Unexpectedly, a split second later, something lit up and a threatening laser beam swept straight toward him.

Zhuo Yun was shocked. He swiftly retreated by a few steps. Myron also barely avoided it standing by the side.

When they raised their heads, they could see a deep dent in the spot they were standing previously.

Zhuo Yun's hair was standing on its ends. Fear was still lingering in his heart. "Just look at how lethal it was…"

Fortunately, he was nimble enough. He could totally imagine what would become of him if he had failed to do it.

Was this something that should appear in a rural and backward village?

Zhuo Yun did not know what to say.

When the village chief heard some noise, he opened the door. The moment he saw the dents on the ground, he looked at Zhuo Yun and the others. After confirming they were uninjured, he was a little relieved.

He pressed the circular button inside the door and said, "Don't walk around."

Zhuo Yun cleared his throat. He quickly straightened his body and explained, "My bad. I was just looking around earlier."

"Sometimes, it's not good to be curious." The village chief's voice sounded hoarse as he warned them. Saying this, he opened the compound's gate. "Come on in."

Zhuo Yun nodded sheepishly. Inside his heart, he had only one word for this village. It was strange!

Not only was the village strange, but the people here were equally strange!

Zhuo Yun was the last to step into the compound. Just as the village chief was about to close the door, Zhuo Yun suddenly turned around, reached his hand out, and pointed at the laser equipment on the door. "May I ask? What's this for?"

The village chief closed the wooden bolt at the door and replied calmly, "It's for keeping wild boars away."

Wild boars?

Zhuo Yun could no longer bring himself to continue asking.

Did the village chief think he was stupid or something?

Zhuo Yun glanced at the village chief. The old man might be wary, but he seemed down to earth on the whole. Why would he say something like this? He suddenly felt that he could no longer trust honest-looking folks anymore.

The village chief did not care how Zhuo Yun felt. He quickly showed everyone into the house.

As they stepped into the house, the sensor-enabled lights on the ceiling automatically lit up. It was bright but soft.

From the looks of it, it was a smart home.

Seeing this, Zhuo Yun acted like a country bumpkin again.

Even though this was common in the city area, they were now in the secluded countryside!

They were unable to even find the place on the navigation system!

They probably had trouble getting access to a stable source of electricity, let alone smart home systems, right?

Zhuo Yun stood in a daze until an ugly-looking thing that appeared like a robot appeared in front of him holding a tray. He finally snapped out of his daze.

Looking at the cups in the tray, Zhuo Yun really wanted to reach his hand and give himself a tight slap. Everything was starting to seem surreal to him.

He was not alone. Myron was equally puzzled, but he simply did not show it on his face.

After all, this was a secluded village, but everything in the compound was cutting-edge technology. It simply made no sense. Anyone would agree it was astonishing.

The village chief pulled up a chair and sat down holding a long pipe in his hand. Just as he was about to light up the pipe, he looked at Huo Yao and put out the fire. He said, "Yesterday, a bunch of people also came to the village. They said they were an archaeological team and entered the Forbidden Forest."
