Chapter Seventy-One: The Deserted Village
"Well, don't touch [that]. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"But you should at least tell me. He pondered, rubbing his chin, "What are you referring to [that]?" ”
"Hmmm... Uh, I seem to have forgotten this. ”
The old man, who was dead, knocked his head hard, "What the hell is it?"
Unable to ask what he could do, Albert closed the [Dead Whisperer] and followed the large army and continued on his way.
"Hey, don't go, hey. The old man struggled hard, always trapped in place, and could only wave his arms vigorously at him, "Hey!"
Then he stopped shouting, and quieted down, his whole face full of doubt, as if he was thinking about something, and he muttered to himself, and his hands slashed his hair: "Strange, why am I yelling like this? Why? Who am I?"
A gust of wind blew, and the already transparent figure was a little more transparent.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The size of the village is not huge.
Looking at the number of rooms, there should be about forty people.
The rooms are all stone houses, and this is not far from the city, so it is not too difficult to find a wizard who can make stones, so let's just say that he has also helped people build houses, although the scale is very small.
After searching the streets with their teammates, they confirmed one thing: there was not a single living person here.
There are still dead bones of animals on the roadside, chickens and ducks that have been starved to death already exude a strange smell, and some chickens, ducks and dogs that have escaped from their cages, quietly roaming in the deserted fields, all of which definitely do not look like people.
All the people seemed to disappear in an instant, and everything stayed at noon on a certain day.
Alek quickly began to organize the search into five teams, and then conducted another search, demanding that the search be completed in the fastest possible time, and a detailed and thorough investigation should be carried out.
Then the operation began, Albert chose to take the eight rookies, command a few people, search separately, speed up, Cecilia said that he would follow everything, and refused to follow the large army.
They entered a room, although it was a stone wall, but the door was made of wood, and he easily kicked the wooden door away, and walked in slowly, and as soon as he entered, he smelled a distinct smell of decay.
The house has not been abandoned for long, not to the point where it is a centimeter-deep mark when you step on it, the tables and chairs are still neatly arranged, a chair has pulled out some, allowing a person to sit down, showing the traces of the life of the former owner here, a water cup is still on the side, it used to hold water, but now it is dry, leaving only dust particles that are firmly stuck to the wall of the cup as the water evaporates.
That's all there was in the living room, and just in time, a rat came out of the darkness and ran wildly.
The starting point for his escape seemed to be the kitchen, as he smelled a very clear rancid stench.
Walking into the room, the disgusting smell of rancid smell came to my face, the whole kitchen was maintained as if it was ready for cooking, the cutting boards and knives were placed, the cupboard was open, and there were some condiments inside, the bottle of a condiment similar to soy sauce was open, it had deteriorated, and some small writhing maggots were constantly swimming inside.
Nearby, on a small table, there was also prepared meat, which had rotted and spoiled, and had become a haven for bacteria, and the smell here was so unpleasant that people walked away with their noses covered.
The next stop, is the bedroom, it is very clean here, of course the cleanliness here is relative, the sheets that have not been cleaned for a long time are very dirty, it seemed to be white before, and now it is dyed gray, everything here is tidyed up, but it is definitely not clean.
Then, he kicked the back door away, there was a latrine here, of course, there was no one in it, but the smell was too big.
Finally, there is the chicken coop, the tight fence is tightly fenced, it is breathable, but it is enough to ensure that the animals will not escape, so what happened in front of Albert's eyes: all the chickens and ducks were trapped inside, a large pile of white bones, and decomposing corpses, and the objects they excreted before their deaths, all mixed together in chaos, the stench of the sky, almost giving people the illusion of [poisoning], maggots on the ground like dense rice grains, constantly wriggling, crawling.
And the annoying flies, buzzing, flying inside, tightly connected.
In such a scene, even people who do not have a phobia of density will feel their scalp tingling, and they just open it and look at it, and say that they don't want to go in at all.
In the end, the search for this room came to a successful conclusion.
The other rookies also finished their search, and seeing their expressions contorted to the point of constipation, the situation in those rooms was not much better.
According to the prior agreement, meet at the entrance of the village.
"We were in charge of the vicinity of the entrance to the village, and no living people were found. "This is Albert. "We were responsible for the vicinity behind the village, and no living people were found. "This is a muscular woman in her mid-fifties. "We are responsible for the village center near the wellhead, there are no living people. "This is an inch-haired young man with a long scar on his face.
"Finally, it was me, I searched the east and west sides of the village, and there were no living people. "Finally, there is an old man who has passed middle age.
"Then I see. Alek closed his eyes and said something he didn't know, "It looks like everyone is dead." ”
"The only thing I could ask was the dead man at the entrance of the village. Albert pointed to the location of the old man who had died earlier, "He should be the last soul left in the village, and his obsession is [to warn others], which has sustained him until now, but unfortunately, he has forgotten what killed him." ”
"You really didn't ask anything, Albert?" "Of course, I didn't ask anything, he just knew how dangerous it was to tell people. ”
I used the [Dead Whisperer] again, and when I looked at it, the soul in the distance was swinging in the wind, constantly becoming more transparent.
"And at the current rate of dissipation, he will disappear completely in three days at most. ”
"When was the last time you passed through here?" "This wasn't the last time we walked here. ”
On the map, there are four roads in total, each of which is connected to the main road to be taken next, but only one passes through this village, "We were on somewhere else last time. ”
"Anyway. The leader glanced around, "We'd better not spend the night here." ”
The entire village was wiped out.
Exactly, what happened?
