Chapter 0524 Reading the World Is Rotten
Chapter 0524
From the sheltered hill to the historical museum in Concord, continue southeast along the main road, about the same distance, to the famous Lexington.
Americans remember this small town because of the beginning of the American Revolutionary War. Chinese hear this name, more because of the aircraft carrier called Lexington.
In fact, many people don't know that there are at least five battleships named after Lexington. The most famous Lexington aircraft carrier in World War II, the board number CV16, is actually the fifth Lexington, and it is the second generation of Lexington in the aircraft carrier, and it was the original Lexington aircraft carrier CV2 that was sunk by Xianghe and Ruihe in the Battle of the Coral Sea in 1942.
Qi Feng rode the white deer and stopped at the top of the downhill section of the Jincheng Avenue, where the view was just right to overlook the whole city.
I finally saw the building!
It's not like the small town of Concord, which is a low-rise building with no more than three floors. Lexington is a little bit of a prosperous area, although there are no skyscrapers, but there are still a lot of five, six or seven story buildings.
Nora pointed to Lexington's south and said, "We're going to downtown Boston, and we're almost halfway to Lexington." ”
I've heard Prestown say before that Lexington doesn't have any inhabitants and has been completely abandoned. The only people who occupy this place are bandits and a large horde of wild ghouls. Qi Feng didn't know what the so-called mad ghoul was, listening to the description, it seemed to be similar to the zombies in Resident Evil, especially, it was possible to be infected if bitten......
So in general, finding a way around the town is the safest thing to do. However, Qi Feng felt that there was no need for this at all, just go through it directly. Ciri trusts the judgment of this more experienced senior, and Nora, who has just cleared two bandit dens, is also in good spirits and fearless. The trio rode into the city.
“...... I used to buy donuts here a lot......" Nora pointed to an abandoned building passing by, and her tone was a little emotional: "Actually, for me, I just visited last week...... In the blink of an eye, that's what it looks like......"
Ciri has some sympathy for Nora, after all, although she is lost in the plane, there is always a chance to go back, and Nora can't go back, besides, what about going back, will she experience the end of the world again?
Qi Feng shrugged his shoulders: "Haven't you heard such a story? China has a bad Ke Qiyuan, and Japan has Urashima Taro...... It's all about your experience. ”
Nora asked curiously, and Qi Feng casually told the story: "...... There was a man who went into the mountains to collect firewood, and when he saw someone playing chess, he leaned over to watch...... When the chess player asked him to go back, he came down the mountain to find that the handle of the axe he had brought with him was rotten...... And hundreds of years have passed since the world under the mountain changed......"
Nora couldn't help but feel a little chill on her body: "He met an elf, why did he play tricks on an ordinary person like this, just because he peeked at them playing chess?"
Qi Feng: "I don't know, it's not ...... in the story."
Nora shook her head, "What about ...... What about the other one?"
Qi Feng cleared his throat, and then said the second one: "There is a fisherman named Urashima Taro in Japan who rescued a turtle on the beach, and the turtle carried him to the palace of the dragon under the sea in order to thank him...... The Dragon King entertained him, and he stayed in the Dragon Palace for a while before planning to leave. The princess of the dragon king gave him a gorgeous treasure box, but told him never to open it. ”
Nora interjected, "And then the man went back to shore and found that the world had gone hundreds of years.
Qi Feng could only be helpless for this kind of listener who would rush to answer: "Ahem...... That's right, the old story is routine after all, I don't say you can guess the ending......"
Nora sighed, "I can still guess...... That treasure box looks gorgeous, but opening it won't end well...... What's in there? Poison gas? Or is it some beast?"
Qi Feng laughed: "That's not it...... He opened the treasure chest, and only a cloud of mist cleared inside, and he, in the blink of an eye, became a white-bearded old man. ”
Nora rolled her eyes at Qi Feng, obviously a little sensitive to her more than two hundred years old, and could only laugh at herself: "Fortunately, when I left the shelter, no one gave me a gorgeous box......
After listening to the story, Nora's mood did not improve much.
Qi Feng can only blame the people who made up these two stories, and the endings given are not good. And Nora herself, too...... It is difficult to return home, and it is rotten to read the world. The only thing that can give her a little hope is probably her son who was snatched away.
"Oh...... Big Invincible Supermarket. That's where I bought it...... "Familiar and unfamiliar things flickered before her eyes, and Nora began to reminisce about the past again.
The supermarket is a very important location in almost all post-apocalyptic themes. The various resources in the supermarket attract the survivors of the apocalypse, and various plots are staged here. However, in this radiation world, the end of the world has been more than 200 years, and this supermarket does not know how many waves of survivors have been searched inside and out. What else is left?
In front of the supermarket are several multi-storey buildings, two of which are connected by a bridge in between...... Qi Feng caught a glimpse of a figure flashing on the simple steel-framed overpass.
"Phew", "Wow"!
Two gunshots suddenly rang out upstairs, but they were obviously not directed at Qi Feng and them. Qi Feng's eyes could vaguely see the trajectory slashing through the air and landing in the collapsed building about a hundred meters behind his left and right sides.
"There's an ambush!"
Ciri and Nora jump off the deer. Nora found a cover, while Ciri pulled out the long sword behind her back and the pistol at her waist - she still listened to Qi Feng's persuasion.
Qi Feng sat on the white deer and didn't move, and when he heard the strange roar coming from the building behind him, he probably understood what kind of trap it was...... With such a sense of déjà vu, Qi Feng thought of the zombie tide attracted by Ambrera at the gas station on the side of the intercontinental highway.
As expected, in a moment, two groups of crooked-looking humanoid monsters rushed out of the building, although their legs and feet were somewhat twisted and deformed, but they did not affect their speed. This is probably the mad ghoul that Prestown mentioned......
Sure enough, it's very similar to the zombies of the T-virus...... It could also be a little uglier.
"What the hell is this?!" Nora was disgusted.
"Cut it off!" Ciri crackled and stole the bullets in his pistol, and then slashed his sword horizontally, about to rush upward.
At this time, several muzzles suddenly stretched out from the overpass on the opposite side and fired at Qi Feng and the others.
