Chapter 498 Shadow
Xu Ling took the drawings, looked at the number of the building plots, and then found the corresponding location in the urban planning map given by the command center.
"Drake neighborhood, northern suburbs, let's go now."
It has been a lot of time since the three of them set off from Marcus Town, and they have to catch them now. Even though Xu Ling feels very tired, he can't wait any longer and must set off immediately.
The team walked out of the city hall lightly and returned to the empty streets. Although there were many abandoned vehicles on the road, and maybe one or two sleeping orcs were still sitting inside, the whole city was still silent.
They are now very familiar with Huo Xingnai City. After all, they have been searching for information in the archives before, and even the planning maps are almost familiar with them.
For the first time, Xu Ling felt that he was moving quickly on the city elevated road without traffic jams. He ran in the front and jumped back and forth with the warrior's body. Even if there was a break or collapse at a distance, it would not slow down his speed of progress.
In another few hours, the three of them had approached the north of the city, but unlike the city center, there was a distortion monster in this direction.
Xu Ling cut off a monster's head, walked to the side and squatted down and observed carefully. The black blood would drop the san after smelling it. It was still a familiar formula or a familiar smell.
“At least the good news is that we have food supplements again.”
"But why there isn't it in the city?" Frig asked.
Xu Ling stood up, looked around, walked to a van that was smashed by a huge rock, and drove the cab and took a look inward.
Empty.
He walked a few more steps to the periphery and looked at some corners where humans might have existed, but he also did not find sleeping orcs.
"Are we going the wrong way?"
Xu Ling thought, looking at it from this point, this place looked more like the ordinary wilderness before entering Huo Xingnai City, as if they had left the target range of this trip.
He walked back, trying to find the other two to express his thoughts, but found that Loki was missing.
"Where are hers?"
"It's said that I'm going to explore the way forward." Frig pointed to an iron tower in front of him. It seemed to be used to transport high-voltage electricity in the past, but it was covered by plants and could not see the true appearance.
"Okay, it's right to go and see."
Xu Ling said, "I suspect we have taken the wrong path."
He expressed his thoughts, and Frig also agreed. Perhaps they had really taken the wrong path in the fog and left the scope of Huo Xingnai without knowing it.
At this moment, Loji ran over from a distance and said after hearing it: "No, there is something strange ahead, you guys come and see it first."
Xu Ling and the others followed her to the electric tower, but Luo Ji did not stop at the bottom of the tower, but instead walked around it and continued, indicating that the thing to be seen was dozens of meters away and exceeded the visible range in the fog.
They ran forward for a while and finally stopped on a cliff.
Xu Ling looked at his feet with an incredible expression: "There are plains around Huo Xingnai City, where does the cliff come from?"
He moved his eyes and saw a cliff spreading to both sides, disappearing into the fog that had been dozens of meters away without reaching the end. He lowered his head and saw that the cliff was not steep and straight, but was a relatively smooth curved surface that extended downward, with a slightly curved curve, but was also shrouded in a fog, and the depth was not clear.
"Come down?" asked Loki.
"No hurry, let's go to both sides first."
Xu Ling led the two of them out along the cliff for hundreds of meters, and he made a new discovery.
I saw half a villa dozens of meters ahead of the three people, but its base disappeared directly from the middle part, perfectly connecting with the "cliff".
“This is not a cliff at all.”
Xu Ling made a judgment in his heart, "This is a big pit, like a bowl that is sucking into the earth."
"That's right!"
The other two also understood that the curved surface extending downward is the bowl wall?
"Sure enough, it's not that we can't find the road, but that the road is gone."
Xu Ling said, "Since this is the case, it seems that there is nothing else but to go on."
The three of them discussed it, but in the end, Frig, who has the lowest combat power, took on dirty and tiring work. First, go down to check, make sure there is no problem and send a signal, so that the remaining two people will go down.
"Be careful." Xu Ling said, "Get the signal flare."
Frig nodded, tied up a rope, and slid down the cliff wall resolutely.
Although the rope may break in the fog, what if it works, be prepared for it.
However, the twists and turns did not occur, and the rope did not break. Soon, a signal from Frig's confirmation of safety came from the rope.
Xu Ling and Luo Ji also slid down.
This piece is not smooth but it is not as if the cliff in the rugged area is just steep at the beginning, and the closer it is to the bottom, the smoother it is, so that the road behind it is not much different from the flat ground.
Soon, the two of them followed the rope to find Frig.
"This 'bowl' looks quite small."
Xu Ling looked around, there was only the vast black fog and the bare earth, which was indeed like a meteorite crater. "I said, was your experiment that year a summoning technique of the big meteorite? I smashed this place, and then what dark matter spreads, causing demonization?"
He said jokingly, not expecting any reply.
However, Loji fell into thinking.
"...No, can this make me right?" Xu Ling thought.
Loji thought for a while, frowned and said, "It's not a meteorite, but I seem to vaguely remember that we are indeed studying something...thing in the universe."
Xu Ling coughed dryly: "Let's go ahead and see, this fog is really in the way."
Although their target laboratory is likely to be gone, according to the current situation, the real culprit must be ahead.
As the three of them approached, the fog seemed to feel uneasy and gradually became flowing, no longer as calm as before.
Xu Ling drew out the knife, but he always felt that something would appear in front of him.
Just as a thought flashed, a black shadow several meters high appeared in the fog, which was generally human-shaped, but hunched his back and his arms were unusually long, and he drooped under his knees.
A malicious intention came from the black shadow, not murderous intent, not a strong sense of threat, but it would make people feel creepy.
Xu Ling knew that the thing in front of him might be more difficult to deal with than those monsters or distortion monsters.
The three of them quickly separated and surrounded the enemy in a fan shape, but did not take action directly.
The black shadow seemed to have not seen them, strolling slowly.
Xu Ling couldn't bear it anymore, so he decided to test it first, so he threw out the flying knife and whistled out.
The black shadow acted differently than that of ordinary people. During the process of shooting the flying knife, it did not react at all. Until the danger approached, two red lights suddenly appeared in its eyes, and then it started to act, but the speed surprised the three of them.
Even Xu Ling didn't see clearly how the monster moved, so it disappeared from its original place, then appeared in front of Luo Ji and slapped him.
Peng.
Loji hurriedly raised his gun to block it, and then he was slapped out of the face.
The governor, and the most powerful governor, can suppress He Tianji's powerful governor, was beaten to fly out with just a slap. This speed and power are terrifying.
Next, the black shadow turned his head and looked at Xu Ling with red eyes.
Whoosh.
When it rushed over, Xu Ling didn't think about it and directly activated the ninth change.
choke.
With one knife, Black Shadow's right arm was removed directly.
Xu Ling raised his eyebrows and found that the speed and strength of this thing were indeed the limit, but there was almost no defensive means. Simply put, it was high attack crispy.
Despite his surprise, his movements were not affected. He took another step forward and cut the thing in half.
At this time, Loji, who was photographed flying, ran back from the fog: "Be careful, that thing has an amazing power... Huh? Dead?"
Xu Ling nodded and said, "Well, it moves very fast, has strong strength, but its body is also very fragile. That is to say, when it meets you, it will either kill you or be beaten to death by you."
Loki pointed at herself with her index finger: "I'm not dead."
"...I can't exaggerate it!"
Xu Ling ignored him and turned his head to see Frig had already squatted on the ground to check out the black corpse. The appearance of this thing was somewhat similar to the distortion monster, with a pitch-black outer skin, and the inside was full of black blood, and the organs were pitifully few.
"I have never seen a similar monster outside, the power of chaos is very strong." He was just standing next to him, and he was slowly reducing the san value.
Loji said: "Fortunately there is only one, but if there are too many, it's not good..."
"Shut up! Don't say it!"
Xu Ling immediately interrupted the crow's mouth, but it was still too late.
Chapter completed!
