Chapter Eighty-Seven: The City
Sometimes I wonder what it's like to be alive. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Every human being is invisibly influenced by the whole world since birth, and is forced by the indirect will of the world, and has a life of mediocrity, but he can't escape the cage of this world, let alone his own cage.
But every time I see the struggle of human beings before they die, I always think, maybe I think too deeply, human beings only live to fight against death, everyone wants to live, everyone wants to live a better life, everyone also wants to see what will happen in the future.
They chased after all the facts that could contribute to this state for a better life, just like the group of humans in front of me, in the vast expanse of light reflected by the intersection of white and black.
They don't know how they died until they died, I looked at them with a slightly surprised expression on their faces, without a trace of pain, dying like this, I don't know if it was good or bad for them, at least from my point of view, it was excellent that they died so painlessly.
But maybe for them, such a death is extremely unwilling!
Mistre covered his mouth in surprise, watching the large swath of humans slowly turn into powder in the dazzling light in front of him, and covered his mouth in horror. After a long time, she finally relieved the surprise in her heart: "This, what's going on?" She asked me.
I said like you can see, they all disappear in the burst of energy, or the body is homogenized by energy, you should understand what it looks like, like your body is magical. It seems that my guess is correct.
Not all the people inside are dead, if only then. Most of the people died, and a small number of people were standing in a good position, and the burst of energy was very thin in the position they were in, so they defended it with their own ability.
At the same time as this burst of energy, the real earth trembled, and the ground that had been flat was slowly cracking, and large chunks of dirt fell into the cracks, but it was not long before they were back on the ground, as buildings slowly rose from the ground, bringing the dirt back to the ground.
Countless tall and low buildings slowly appear in the brilliant light, and the brilliance is like a child's fairy tale. Mister said it was beautiful, but I pointed to the side of the buildings, where the bones of humans were scattered across what looked like streets.
Mistre asked me what was going on, and I said I didn't know, and we just watched here until all the light was gone.
The energy completely escaped, and the place that had been illuminated by the energy returned to darkness. All of the buildings have a peculiar black color, like the black market on Shadowtooth Island that can be inlaid with a large number of magic arrays that are strong enough to prevent sea breezes.
I asked Mister if I wanted to go inside, and she obediently asked me if it would be dangerous to go in. I said probably not, and she nodded and said she actually wanted to go in and have a look. I told her to move and released an air isolation spell around her body, and then a cover that filtered out the toxic substances in the air on her body before I walked in with her.
She asked me what was around me, and I explained to her that the bodies and air inside might contain toxins that could be fatal if inhaled. There was something on her body that purified the air, and she touched it with great interest, and then asked me why I didn't release one for myself, and I said no.
Walking through the large number of buildings, I soon found that this is actually a city, with good streets, good utilities and sewage systems, and if it weren't for the dead bodies everywhere, I'm afraid anyone would be able to see how prosperous this place once was.
The corpses have long since dried up, and I don't feel any soul fluctuations from these corpses, I'm afraid their souls have completely dissipated. These dried corpses shattered at the touch, and not only their bodies, but even their clothes turned into powder along with their bodies.
Along the way, even if we didn't touch their corpses, the vibration caused by our feet on the ground would turn all their corpses into powder, so we walked all the way, with stone dust floating in the air in front of and behind us.
Mistre hugged me and said that it was fortunate that I released one of these spells to her, otherwise she would not be able to accept herself after inhaling this kind of thing, and she would be nauseous for a long time.
The corpse completely dissipated but some things remained, high-quality magic weapons, gold and silver products and magic crystals, Warcraft crystal nuclei or something, all the way to the side inspection, I was actually very happy, but Mister despised me and said that I was embarrassed to take the dead man's things, I nodded and said of course I am embarrassed to take it, or I really can't afford to raise you in the future.
There will also be some good things in the roadside shops, and the things left behind in this case are basically of good quality, so they can be stuffed into the space ring without identification, but fortunately, my space ring basically emptied all the things inside a long time ago, and now in addition to some clothes and the flames, there are only small items such as gold cards, so even if my space ring capacity is not large, but now it can still hold a lot of things.
Besides, I can't identify anything, I can only stuff all the pleasing and seemingly valuable ones into it, and then bury it when I return to Duolun City, if I'm lucky, maybe I can buy a house in Duolun City, although I know that since Director Sean said that he would give me the house to live in, he will never take it back, but after all, it's not his own, how can there be a feeling of estrangement if he really lives in it.
In addition to my sweep here, the people who survived the energy explosion also wandered here like me, they were much more courageous, and they walked in without any protection, passing through the powder of the corpses, but seeing that they were not affected in any way, this at least proves that this city did not die from large-scale poisoning, otherwise, the people walking here would have died by now.
As time passed, the city was slowly explored by all the people, although I didn't go all, but I could see that there were traces of human beings who had come, they were much more ruthless than me, I just took the useful materials and finished products, these people were eager to completely empty the entire city, all the things that seemed to be valuable, and if they found more valuable, they threw the things of lower value on the ground.
If you see that the street is littered with everyday necessities, you can confirm that someone has come to see it.
