There used to be a story of going all the way west to learn the scriptures, but now the situation is reversed, and the goal is in the east.

I feel that the configuration here is also a bit similar to the configuration of learning from the experience, is it an illusion?

The speed of the truck is very fast, and there is no way to compare with the land battleship, although it has lost most of its functions, but the basic drag racing function is still there, and the feeling of unhindered drag racing is still quite cool, and all kinds of monsters are thrown away along the way.

There are quite a lot of species of monsters in this ghost place, some earthworms or worms should be the bottom of the food chain, they only need to eat soil to survive and there are a lot of them, like leeks, you can often see groups passing by in the desert, very spectacular, based on them to build a food chain in the boundless desert.

It is certain that there is really no real creature to be found, at least Huang Taiyi has not found even the smallest insect in a few adjustments, and the search for plants is even more subtle - it is really not nothing, but what I found is something similar to a telephone pole, which is very different from ordinary plants in appearance, but after digging it out, it will be found that it actually has very long roots, and this mysterious plant will also be eaten by some monsters.

To put it simply, this is a world where eating dirt is a common phenomenon.

An ordinary caravan would not have been able to get out of the desert alive without a vehicle such as a chariot, and after calculation, it had traveled thousands of kilometers in the past few days, and there were no supplies that could be used by ordinary people along the way, including water.

At the same time, there is more than one kind of monster that has organs in its body that can store water, and if you hunt, you can actually get water, which is another thing.

Hopefully it will be better when you arrive in the city.

"That's the ruins of the town."

The first time Huang Scarlet Sword saw this kind of thing, his spirit also perked up.

Even the ruins are a testament to the existence of humanity, and they are much better than a wild area full of monsters.

By the way, I haven't seen a new land battleship for three days, and it doesn't seem like you can find it by looking for it.

"We've finally reached the edge of human civilization?"

The squad leader also felt a lot about this.

These three days are not just rushing with all their might, it took a lot of time to investigate everywhere, including recording the ecology of monsters, looking for areas where humans exist, etc., it took a lot of time, but the time spent was meaningful.

By the way, even the map provided by the bear still does not have much reference significance, and after hurrying it has been confirmed that the map does not even understand the normal proportions, just like the ancient world map of the Celestial Empire drawn with a particularly large kingdom and the surrounding countries drawn with a particularly small one, full of unrealistic conceit.

When a civilization is so conceited that he can't even see the facts clearly, the emperor thinks that it is quite dangerous, and he has also heard the idiom of arrogance in Yelang, and the harm of arrogance is no matter how big or small the country is.

The border has been so barren, the war does not seem to be over yet, and the "barbarians" still exist clearly, I don't know if the Tang rulers of this world are awake or in a dream.

"Would you like to investigate?"

Huang Taiyi asked.

The ruins outside are not small, and the extent of the original town can barely be seen, and more importantly, the ruins in the desert are not low stones, but some unknown alloys that look solid, but it is difficult to live forever in the world, maybe it is war, maybe it is time, and the houses that may have been extremely strong still cannot escape the fate of collapse and disappear in the long river of history.

As for whether it is a stone or a metal block, there are no people, so what's the point?

"No, there shouldn't be any discoveries, and the first goal now is to find inhabited cities and update the map."

The squad leader is the person who spends the most time studying the map in a few days, and now he is eager to redraw a map directly, which is particularly tangled in this aspect.

After leaving this dilapidated place and walking forward for less than half a day, a gratifying discovery finally appeared.

A city is not the size of a village or town, but a big city in the true sense of the word.

Of course, it is still far away from the city, and only some outlines can be roughly identified in the lookout, but even this is already very powerful, those towering buildings undoubtedly represent the level of civilization, although it is not at all the same thing as the imagined ancient style of the Tang Dynasty, but it is enough to cheer people up.

In fact, there are land warships, how can you expect to leave ancient things, civilization is also developing.

Once you have a goal, of course, you have to go there.

"Strange, why are there no roads?"

The squad leader returned the telescope in his hand to the commander.

"yes, I didn't see the road all the way."

After Huang Scarlet Sword heard this, his eyebrows moved slightly.

The emperor must understand the importance of traffic as a modern person, traffic jams have always been hated, if it is a very remote place, there is no way, especially the desert full of monsters, I don't know if it is useful to build roads, but if there is no road near the big city, it is very strange, and there is no such thing as an airplane in this world? I've never seen anything fly in the sky.

"Could it be because the vehicle is too big?"

Mephistopheles had been looking at the sky just now, and it was dark yellow, and she guessed as she lowered her head.

"Yes, yes, if it's all that big, the road will be crushed all of a sudden, and the surrounding area will be full of desert, and ordinary cars shouldn't be usable!"

Si Ming nodded frequently, thinking that this guess was more reasonable.

"Although there is a reason...... Stop and wait for the sandstorm to pass. ”

The squad leader didn't shake his head, she still couldn't immediately agree with the speculation about the highway.

Stopping and waiting for a sandstorm has been repeated many times along the way.

Even small sandstorms should not be ignored, and the fear is not that the truck will be damaged but that it is a problem of direction, and the trouble of not having a road is vividly reflected here.

After a massive sandstorm blows, it can really turn the day into night in the blink of an eye, and even darker than the night because there is no moonlight, and it is common to walk in the wrong direction, plus the desert itself is difficult to locate, and there are hardly any signs or signs on the road, everything is difficult.

It is said that people who trekked in the desert in the past had to walk hard for several days only to find that something happened in a circle, which was very deadly, and today all kinds of disasters are not fatal, which is why it is necessary to be more cautious in order to be worthy of the victims of the past, and the word respect is written in this way.

Sandstorms can vary in duration, ranging from half a day to a few minutes later.

After a boring wait of almost an hour, the sky was already beginning to be able to see the light, which was a sign that the sandstorm was coming to an end.

It took another half an hour to be able to roughly discern the surrounding situation, and the sandstorm was so powerful.

I thought I could move on, but now there was silence in the car.

"Could it be...... Buried in sand? Or a mirage? ”

Huang Scarlet Sword racked her brains and could only come up with such a possibility, in fact, she didn't believe it herself, her wandering eyes were full of wavering, but if she didn't come up with a plausible explanation, things would become strange and uneasy for her.

"Is it really gone? Do you want me to investigate? ”

As soon as the emperor took the initiative to ask Ying to prepare for the battle, things became inexplicable.

"It can't be a mirage, it's obviously already detected, and only the naked eye can recognize it."

Si Ming's brows were also furrowed almost together, even if she was very unreliable in other aspects, she was barely trustworthy in the areas related to the performance of the truck.

"Is it a mirage...... Hmph, a word that sounds fantastical, but it's actually a desert nightmare. ”

Behind the reflection of the squad leader's lenses is a cold gaze.

"In fact, we can be in this kind of nightmare, hehehe."

Mephistopheles, even if she was really in a nightmare, would have laughed out loud as she did now.

In short, the city that was still observable just now disappeared right under everyone's noses...... Well, it can't really be said to be under the nose, because for a long time no one actually paid attention to it, after all, who would have thought that even this thing could evaporate on the spot.

"Except that the city is not an illusion, the rest cannot be confirmed at the moment, if the city is ...... Judging from the map, it is probably this Broken Leaf City, and I have never heard of it being able to move automatically, there is a country called Loulan nearby, and the capital is here, so we should not have such a big deviation. ”

Every time the squad leader opens the map like a group of demons, it takes a lot of time to repair the orientation, which is very hard.

Finding deviations on a map that is inherently biased is a useless exercise.

Suddenly losing the target, the squad leader has to work on the map again.

"Would you like to look around?"

The emperor couldn't rest assured that such an inexplicable and wonderful event was in front of him, and he laughed at it as a supernatural event? That's obviously not going to work, and who knows what danger lies behind this thing.

"If I say to look for it, then what will the emperor do?"

"I ...... I have a pig, forget it, don't look for it. ”

In fact, if you really want to search, there may not be no clues, but instead of wasting time here, it is more convenient to find a serious city to ask what the origin of this phenomenon is.

As a result, this matter was temporarily shelved as an accident encountered on the road, and it certainly doesn't mean that it doesn't matter, and if there is a chance in the future, it will definitely be necessary to see what is going on.

However, it didn't stop there, it was that simple.

Approaching the wee hours of the morning, Huang Taiyi opened his eyes in his sleep, and it stands to reason that he was safe inside the invisible camouflage, at least he would not encounter danger immediately.

He subconsciously looked out the window.

Still far away.

As if trying to laugh at itself, the huge city appeared there at an unknown time.

And closer than the last time.
