Chapter 77: Strange Ruins

In the early morning of the next day, the group set off early for the ruins of the epidemic.

It's not that I don't want to rest, it's just that this place is not suitable for a long stay.

An environment with too much negative energy will affect everyone except Lilo, and if Donald doesn't rely on his mental power to forcibly create a normal environment when he sleeps at night, it is estimated that everyone will have to stay up late.

And this made part of the mental power recovered by Donald's meditation all night depleted on this, which also made him quite helpless.

Therefore, the sky was dark, and everyone was ready to enter the ruins immediately, find the special energy that Lilo said as quickly as possible, and leave here.

"No entry!" "Epidemic area!"

On the side of the road outside the ruins of the epidemic, there are more than a dozen signs, all marked in bold letters in black, and all of them are signed by the Emerald County Government.

"These brands don't seem to be doing much. ”

Anthony raised his hand to a nearby barren meadow, where among the weeds lay several stiff corpses, dressed in the usual leather armor suits of adventurers, with a cold coat on top, each holding a long sword, apparently having fought before he died.

"A lot of times the 'no entry' reminder has the opposite effect on some people, and it should be that some guys who want to come over and make a fortune from the dead have come to rest outside the ruins and meet ghosts, and a group of ordinary people don't know what to do. ”

Donald would not have reacted to the death of such people, because they died of their own stupidity and greed, which is the last thing they need to be pitied.

Entering the town along the main road of the ruins, this time it was Lilo who 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 ruins should be full of the corpses of the sick people, after all, tens of thousands of deaths, although the time is long, the flesh and blood may disappear with the passage of time, but at least the skeleton can be seen, so he also took the trouble to give Stephanie and Julia the two girls psychological construction in advance.

Who would have thought that from the time he entered the ruins to the present, what he saw was only a large area of ruins, and he could not see any human corpses at all.

"There was a fire here. ”

Stepping over a knee-high wall, Stephanie suddenly crouched down, grabbed a handful of weeds from the side, and smeared one side of the wall to wipe away the dirt from the outside of the wall, revealing a pitch-black inner wall.

"It should be the Emerald County Government consciously set fire here, you look at the surrounding buildings, few are well preserved, and the building materials of this era are not the civil structures of the past, such as this town where tens of thousands of people live, all kinds of buildings must be made of bricks, and there are various reinforced structures inside, this is only how much time, relying on the wind and sun can not reach this point. ”

Anthony opened his hand and drew a semi-circle in front of him, as if to encompass all the surrounding buildings, and then said.

As far as he could see, there was hardly a single intact house left in the ruins of the plague, all of which were dilapidated buildings.

"It should be to completely eradicate the epidemic, this approach can't be said to be wrong to keep up quickly, I still think there is something wrong here, we need to get out of here as soon as possible. ”

Noticing that Lilo suddenly turned to head to somewhere in the ruins, Donald patted Anthony on the shoulder and quickly quickened his pace, they weren't here to archaeology to discuss how the town came to ruins.

Following Lilo's turn, a five-meter-long line of defense soon appeared across the street.

Yes, Donald called it the line of defense.

Beneath his feet was a loose wooden horse, the tip of a thigh-thick stake roughly cut to a pointed end, and some spiked wire wrapped around it.

You can see a lot of the same thing on the side.

And behind these repulsors was a crude front piled up with all sorts of filling.

"What are these things for? It's not to be a defense against the people who lived in this town, is it?"

Stephanie looked at the horse in front of her, which was still not collapsing, and wondered if it was an illusion, she smelled a little blood from above.

"From the time we came in to the present, we should have walked along the road for half an hour in the town, this is just an ordinary town, and the area is only ordinary, which means that we should have walked to the center of the town by now, your statement is indeed possible, but don't forget, the Emerald County government has imposed a blockade here, in this case, this kind of defense line should not be placed from the inside out, it should be blocked and surrounded from the outside in. ”

Donald walked forward as he spoke, kicked away a corner of the seemingly solid line of defense, which had long been in vain, stepped in, stooped down and picked up something from the stone bricks of the street, and threw it at Anthony next to him, who raised his hand to catch it, and when he opened it, he saw a yellow bullet casing.

"If they're dealing with the people of the town, it's not a plague, it's a massacre."

Clapping his hands, stooping down to pick up Finger, and brushing away the dust from its fur from jumping up and down along the way, Donald kept frowning, and his quick thinking was already on.

These shells were ubiquitous behind the defensive line, which is proof that there had been battles here before, and that the fighting was so intense that it required the use of heavy firearms for defensive operations.

Donald didn't believe that the inhabitants of this town were so fierce that the army needed to be put in the form of such a massacre.

"You see, the line of defense doesn't exist in this street, but in a surround situation, like it's protecting something?"

Due to the dilapidated buildings in the ruins, Donald's vision was not restricted, and he looked around and came to a conclusion that seemed strange to him.

"Protection, the town is sick, it stands to reason that they should run out, what are you doing here?

Stephanie stepped on the padding of the defensive line, and asked suspiciously.

"It's a pity that there is no map of the town, otherwise you can use the map to analyze it. ”

It should be impossible to tell the location of this place and what important buildings are nearby from the ruins of the surrounding buildings, but with this defense line alone, it is obviously difficult for a strong man to dig up more information from above.

"Lilo, did you find anything?"

Donald looked at Lilo, who was no longer moving.

"No, this is the place with the most energy I can't find. ”

There was still no expression on his face, but the voice in Donald's head could also hear Lilo's chagrin.

"Brother Donald, come and see, there seems to be a street sign here. ”

Just then, Julia shouted from the side, the ghost was inconvenient to appear in the sunlight, and she was herself erecting a road sign that was a little higher than her.

It's just that her body is really weak, and she was still a little shaky for a while, and Anthony immediately leaned over to help.

Unleashing a cleansing spell to wash the surface of the sign, Donald squinted at the name on it.

"The central block, the Iris town government office, we walk. ”

Donald picked up the street sign and pointed to the name of the place behind the defensive line.

Sure enough, as in most other towns, most of the centrally located buildings are government offices.

"Stop!"

Halfway through, Donald suddenly said aloud.

There were noticeably fewer ruins of buildings ahead, and farther away there was a dense mass of ruins, which was supposed to be a small square in front of the government offices.

"What did you find?"

A series of strange phenomena in the ruins of the epidemic made the group a little nervous.

"Wait, don't move. ”

Donald bent down, his palm pressed against the ground, his momentum changed abruptly, and his spiritual power poured out.

Immediately, there was a lilac glimmer of light light all over the square in front of him!
