Chapter 517: Convergence One
"How can we avoid dying here?"
Outside the town, in a valley about three kilometers away, a group of lifeless figures had gathered here.
One of the bald men held his head and said in a low voice, "That monster... It's not something that people can compete with at all... I shouldn't have listened to you here... Or flee to the poles and still have a way to live...."
No one answered him.
The rest of the people were white-haired old men, immature teenagers, housewives, and merchants in brocade clothes. Everyone is here to cope with the final death.
Roddy is among them.
He looked silently at the people around him.
"Looks like I've had the most experience on this trip. He smiled reluctantly, "Otherwise, I'll lead the team, and everyone may want more." β
In fact, everyone here understands that they are just the last struggle.
I didn't want to struggle at all, I just wanted to die. In the end, I enjoyed it more, and I still stayed in my own place. They are the only ones who really want to find a glimmer of hope. There are less than twenty in total.
"According to the literature, many people have been invaded and tortured by that place throughout history, and mankind has been looking for a way to get rid of it, but so far, I have not seen a single case of successful resistance to it. A white-haired old man who looked like a scholar whispered. "The only ones who succeed are evaders, so we should work in that direction instead of watching General Urus transfer people to bomb it. β
"That's true, but before it was not enough firepower, but now it's different, and times are advancing. A blonde woman disagrees.
"I'm here to see the evil land that is said to be impossible to leave. The woman patted the two short knives tied to her thighs, and her expression was fierce.
Roddy looked at everyone present, there was everyone here, but they were all gathered together for one reason.
"There's still a day, maybe we can go in and find out what is going on. "Isn't it ridiculous that we've been scared all our lives, and in the end we don't even know what we're afraid of?" he proposed.
The crowd fell silent.
Roddy was one of the most well-known old men among their Indian journalists, and even he barely said anything about how to fight the town. The rest .....
It took a long time for the old scholar to agree.
"Roddy is right, even if we die, we must understand the truth. β
"If you are willing, come with me. Roddy exhaled, took a cigarette out of his coat pocket, lit it with a match, and held it in his mouth. Turn around and walk in the direction of the town.
The plan couldn't keep up with the change, and he still didn't have time to go back after all. Fortunately, the preparations made before are only part of the preparations at home, and the real focus is still outside. This trip was also brought with it.
He is not afraid of death, what he is afraid of is that death is meaningless. Die with too many regrets.
But fortunately, he has already asked his friend to settle his son Rousanne, so there is still hope for the future.
He looked up at the gloomy sky with a cigarette in his mouth, and smiled involuntarily.
Yes!!
Suddenly, a scream came from the valley behind him.
"It's coming!"
"It's the hunters!Are we getting too close?!"
"Don't panic!"
The crowd was immediately terrified.
Some of them calmly and carefully checked the equipment on their bodies. Hunters are slightly easier to deal with than executioners.
Roddy pulled a short crossbow from his back with his backhand, and pulled it from his coat on his back, revealing the quiver he was carrying.
Hee-hee..
Suddenly, a faint sound of laughter wafted from afar, and a sweet smell came from the wind.
"No, it's not just the hunters!, it's the stranglers!" Roddy's face changed, and he bent down and put his ears to the ground.
"The two-headed hunter, and the strangler has... Three-headed... Not five heads!!"
His face quickly turned pale.
Just two hunters are as difficult to deal with as an executioner, let alone five stranglers!
"Run, disperse!" he growled. Then he got up and ran away from the town.
The rest of the people also rushed to follow.
Although frightened, this is not the first time that such a scene has been experienced, and almost all of the Indian reporters present have escaped many times, and everyone has their own way of coping.
Although it is panicked, it is not chaotic.
***************
In the evening.
Got on the train, changed to a horse-drawn carriage halfway through, and then took a ride on an ox cart. Lucin and Solomon finally put their feet on the dirt at the edge of the town.
"It only took two days and it was ok. Solomon coughed a few times, "I can only send you here, about two kilometers ahead, that is the place, how to decide, it is up to you." β
He stopped.
Lu Sheng looked back at him.
"Thank you, okay, you can go back. β
Solomon nodded, turned around and walked away without hesitation.
"That's right. He stopped suddenly, "Roddy is from the White Eagle, they issued an invitation to gather in the name of the White Eagle, I don't know the specific location, however, Mela they are also here, you can go to the White Eagle's gathering point here, find Mera, maybe she can tell you clues." She is the leader of the White Eagle. β
"Where is the gathering place of the White Eagle?"
"Outside the town to the north, five hundred meters away there is the thickest and largest white oak. β
"Understood. Lu Sheng didn't ask why this Mera came at this time. Solomon was able to bring him here, and it was already a good and righteous thing.
Watching Solomon slowly move away, he turned to look in the direction of the town.
In fact, what he didn't tell Solomon was that in Rosan's memory, he could find the location of the town. The town kept appearing in his dreams all the time, mysterious, dark, dead silent.
"Let me see, what you areβ" His eyes sank, and he strode toward the town.
..................
Inside the millennium oak tree house.
Mela crossed her hands and looked at the town in the distance, she had already seen Urus's big moves, but she didn't expect anything.
Someone did this a long time ago. What she cared about was Roddy.
"Roddy is also going.... The next one, maybe it should be me..."Mela's eyes were helpless with pain, after so many years, after so many years of living, she still didn't find any hope to fight that place.
"I heard that Solomon went to find the son of Rodi. The emaciated man on the side, wearing a black trench coat, asked in a low voice.
"But the day before yesterday, Solomon sent a message saying that Rode's son had learned the truth and was looking for his father. β
"That's not what Roddy arranged, was it?" said Mera. "Even if you find it, what can you do? I remember that Roddy's son was not a full-fledged Indian reporter, but if he had been too close to the town, he would have become a full-fledged Indian journalist and be in the same desperate situation as we did. β
"So what? Half-mark will be hunted down and killed, and even if he lives, how long will he live without Roddy?" the man retorted.
"If you look for it, you can find it. Another tall woman was carefully sharpening her nails with a scimitar. "That little guy, I remember, yelled at me when I wanted to sleep with Roddy. It's not cute at all, and I used to buy him candy a lot. β
"Forget it, I'll take care of him when I go back. Mera said calmly, "I remember that Rousanne was not in good health, and he was a little cowardly.
Go back and let him marry and have children, and if he can, add a grandchild or something to Roddy, and live a quiet life. β
"Sister, you're kind. "Everyone has experienced too many things like this, people die, relatives come to the door, but what can be the final result?
Whether it is anger or pain, in the face of that place, you can only give up in despair.
β...... Maybeβ" Mera smiled.
Suddenly, the voices of the members came from outside the treehouse.
"Eldest sister, a man who claims to be Roussan is here, and he says he's coming to Lord Rody!"
A hesitant female voice came in.
Mera was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses.
"Let him come. She said calmly.
"Good. β
"As soon as we talked about him, he came, which is a coincidence. The tall woman laughed, "It's not completely dark yet, and it just so happens that we should go back, so let's just take him back with us." β
She strode to the treehouse door and gently grasped the doorknob.
"I don't know who is more handsome than his father! Maybe I can taste the chicks...... The tall woman had already opened the door at this time, and looked up at a man in front of her in a daze.
β.... The woman finished finishing a word at the end.
"Excuse me, do any of you know where Roddy is?" Lu Sheng's face was calm, and he glanced at the three people in the treehouse.
His eyes were intensely aggressive, and he wanted to look at three dishes when he looked at the three of them.
Nicole Furan blinked, and vaguely saw the shadow of the runny little boy from the face of the man in front of her.
"Are you..... Rosan?"
Not only her, but Mera and another thin man in the treehouse were a little sluggish when they saw Lu Sheng.
"Blame... Monster ??!" The man's mouth almost closed, it was the first time he had seen a terrifying man in his life who could compare the size of those monsters.
"It's you, Fran, I'm here to take Roddy home. Lu Sheng grinned.
Nicole Furan looked up at Lu Sheng's strong and tall body, and her cheeks couldn't help but flush slightly.
"Tsk.... So strong.... I just don't know what it tastes like?"
"Okay, Sister Fran, you go first, I'll look for Mella, which one is Mera?" Lu Sheng grabbed Fran's shoulder and put it aside like a toy.
Only then did Mera come to her senses and take a closer look at Lu Sheng.
Rousanne's strength was completely beyond her expectations, with a sturdy sense of strength, a well-proportioned, streamlined body, and a monster-like mass.
Let her understand that this is not one of those tricky muscles made by fitness. It's a truly powerful structure with power and speed.
Even compared to her own strength that has been tempered for many years, from the outside, it is already better.
"I am, I'm Mela. The leader of the White Eagle. She stepped forward to Zhengsedao, "If you want to find Roddy, he has already gone to the Gathering Valley, and now he is estimated to have joined the people. β
Lu Sheng's brows furrowed slightly.
"Can you tell me the exact location?"
"It's useless if you go. Mera shook her head. "And you shouldn't have come. I see that your hands must have also practiced your father's Gerelow knife skills, right? But even Roddy himself is not sure, you will only die in vain if you come. β
"You just have to tell me the location. Lu Sheng held up a finger and said carefully.
Mera was silent, but said anyway.
After Lu Sheng carefully asked how to pass, he turned around and left quickly.
After he left, there was silence in the treehouse for a long time.
"That's Rosan.... When did Roddy give birth to a son who was strong enough to be like this?" the emaciated man couldn't help but sigh.
"Alright, it's time for us to go. It's hard to leave when it's dark. Mera whispered.
She had a gut feeling that the arrival of this monster-like Rosang might bring about some unexpected changes. Although she is still not optimistic that Roddy will survive, Rosanne may have a glimmer of hope to live, but she is not sure.
