Chapter 77 Weird Ruins
In the early morning of the next day, the group set off early to the ruins of the epidemic.
It’s not that I don’t want to rest, but this place is not suitable for staying for a long time.
An environment with too strong negative energy will have an impact on everyone except Lilo. If Donald did not rely on his mental power to force a normal environment, the group would probably have to stay up late.
This caused some of Donald's mental power to recover from meditation all night and was exhausted on it, which made him quite helpless.
So just as the sky was dawn, everyone was about to enter the ruins immediately, find the special energy that Liluo mentioned as quickly as possible and leave here.
"No entry!" "Epidemic disaster area!"...
On the side of the road outside the ruins of the epidemic, there are more than a dozen signs inserted in a row, all marked in bold black, and all signed by the Jade County Government.
“These brands don’t seem to be very useful.”
Anthony raised his hand and pointed to a nearby weed. Among the weeds there were several stiff corpses. The outfit was a leather armor suit common to adventurers. He wore a cold coat on the outside, and each held a long sword. It was obvious that a battle broke out before his death.
"Many times the 'forbidden entry' prompt has the opposite effect for some people... it should be that some guys who want to come and make money come to the death. They meet ghosts while resting outside the ruins, and a group of ordinary people... don't know what's wrong."
Donald would not react to the death of such people, because they died of their own stupidity and greed, which is the least needed to die.
Following the main road of the ruins into the town, this time Liluo took the lead. After all, she was the only one who would react to the special energy in the ruins.
Donald's eyes wandered around the ruins. He thought that the corpses of those who had been infected in the past should be seen everywhere in the ruins. After all, the deaths of tens of thousands of people may disappear with the passage of time, but at least the skeleton can be seen. For this reason, he also seriously made psychological construction for the two girls Stephanie and Julia in advance.
Who would have thought that from entering the ruins to the present, what he saw was just a large piece of broken walls and no human corpses could be seen at all.
“There was a fire here.”
After crossing a low wall that was only at the knee, Stephanie seemed to have discovered something, suddenly squatted down, grabbed a handful of weeds from the side, and wiped away the dust outside the wall with force, revealing the dark inner wall.
"It should be that the Jade County Government consciously set the fire here. Look at the surrounding buildings, there are few well-preserved buildings. The building materials of this era are not the civil structures that used to be. For example, in a town where tens of thousands of people live, various buildings must be piled up with bricks, and there are various reinforced structures inside. It only takes so much time, and it can't reach this level by wind and sun exposure."
Anthony opened his hand and drew a semicircular arc in front of him, as if he wanted to include all the surrounding buildings, and then said.
Looking along his sight, there was almost no intact house in the entire epidemic ruins, all of which were dilapidated buildings.
"It should be to completely eliminate the epidemic, and this approach cannot be wrong... Keep up with it, I still think something is wrong here, we must leave here as soon as possible."
Noting that Lilo suddenly turned to somewhere in the ruins, Donald patted Anthony on the shoulder and quickly accelerated his pace. They are not here to get archaeology now and explore how this town turned into a ruin.
Following Liluo, a cross-border street soon appeared ahead, with a line of defense about five meters long.
Yes, Donald calls it a line of defense.
At the foot was a scattered wooden horse-repelling horse. The front end of the wooden stake as thick as a thigh was roughly cut into a pointed head, and some iron wire with spikes were wrapped around it.
There are many similar things you can see next to you.
Behind these horse-rejecting horses is a rough line piled up with various fillings.
"What are these things used for? You're not guarding against the residents who originally lived in this small town?"
Stephanie looked at the rue horse in front of her who had not collapsed. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she smelled some bloody smell from it.
"From now on the road, we should have walked along the town for half an hour. This is just an ordinary town and its area is only ordinary. That is to say, we should have reached the center of the town. Your statement is indeed possible, but don't forget that the Emerald County Government has imposed a blockade here. Since that is the case, this line of defense should not be placed from the inside to the outside, but should be blocked from the outside to the inside."
Donald said as he walked forward, kicking away the corner of the line of defense that seemed solid, which was actually quite impressive, stepped in, bent down and picked up something from the stone bricks on the street, and threw it to Anthony next to him, who raised his hand to catch it, and when he opened it, he saw a yellow shell.
"If they are facing the people in the town, then it is not an epidemic, but a massacre..."
He clapped his hands, bent down and picked up Finger, and brushed away the dust from the fur because he jumped up and down. Donald kept frowning, and his agile thinking had already started.
These shells can be seen everywhere behind the defense line, which is enough to prove that there have been battles here before, and the battle situation is so fierce that a large amount of guns are needed to be used for defensive operations.
Donald didn't believe that the residents of this town were so fierce that they needed to dispatch troops to suppress them in the form of massacre.
"You see, the line of defense does not exist in this street, but shows a surrounding situation, does it seem like it is protecting something?"
Due to the dilapidated buildings in the ruins, Donald's vision was not restricted. He looked around and came to a conclusion that seemed strange to him.
"Protection? The town is sick. It's logical that you should be running out. What are you doing here? Judging from this posture, you should still hold on..."
Stephanie stepped on the filling of the defense line, and asked in confusion.
"It's a pity that there is no map of the town, otherwise I can use the map to analyze it."
There is no need to expect to distinguish the location here and what important buildings are nearby from the ruins of the surrounding buildings. But relying solely on this line of defense, it is obviously difficult to discover more information from it.
"Lilo, have you found anything?"
Donald looked at Lilo, who stopped acting.
"No, this is the place with the most energy...I can't find it."
There was still no expression on his face, but the sound that appeared in Donald's mind could also tell Lilo's annoyance.
"Brother Donald, come and see, there seems to be a street sign here."
Just then, Julia shouted from the side that the ghost was inconvenient to appear in the sun, and she was personally erecting a road sign that was higher than her.
But her body was really weak and she was still shaking for a while. Anthony immediately came over to help.
Releasing a cleansing technique to clean the surface of the street sign, Donald squinted his eyes and looked at the name on it.
“Central neighborhood, Iris Town Government Office… Let’s go.”
Donald specifically picked up a street sign and pointed to the name of the location behind the defense line to view it.
Sure enough, like most other towns, most of the central locations are government office buildings.
"stop!"
Halfway through the way, Donald suddenly spoke.
There are obviously fewer architectural ruins in front of them, and further apart there is a dense ruin. This should be a small square in front of the government office building.
"What's the discovery?"
A series of strange phenomena in the ruins of the epidemic made the group nervous.
"Wait, don't move."
Donald bent down, pressed his palm against the ground, his aura suddenly changed and his mental power surged out.
