A carrion crawled with difficulty on the road. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The empty eye sockets seemed to be staring closely at the misty town in the distance.

It may be the only soldier left behind in the army of death.

"Gollum." It dragged along, grunted weakly, and glanced up at the dim sky. Although it does not have a neck.

Then, in the next moment, a silver streamer flashed, and the rotting head exploded, black blood splattered everywhere.

"Tsk." I shook off the dirt on my gloves, "It's disgusting." ”

"In that case, the knives won't be able to be recycled." I sighed, what was supposed to be a reusable item became a consumable item in this case. I have to say that this is also a great consumption of the materials themselves.

After all, the enemies may be endless, but the weapons are limited.

Besides, Elise still hasn't given me supplies.

So, what about Elise?

How about coming over after you finish preparing at home? I've already arrived in Jianliang.

Hey, that's unreliable.

But......

I looked at the black city in the distance.

"The last time I was there, I was obviously well defended, what happened?"

There was a sense of anxiety in my heart.

"Anyone else? I can fight! Motile! Able to walk! Xie Yan leaned against the city wall with his sword. Shout at the top of one's lungs.

No one responded.

Except for the surging corpse tide under the city.

"Goo." Several carrion corpses came up the stairs of the city wall, as if preparing to attack Xie Yan, but it was clear that their bodies were not suitable for climbing the stairs. The attack was quite inefficient.

Xie Yan slashed two swords horizontally and slashed them all under the city.

"Ahem." He slowly sat down against the wall, pulled out the notebook in the lining, and began to write.

"On the ninth day of the month of Lan, Jianliang City ...... Lost. ”

Looking at the increasing staircase climbing army under the city, he seemed to gradually give up resistance.

Perhaps because the carrion corpses they shot down earlier had attracted the attention of the others, they seemed to be focusing on the living man on the city walls.

What's more, it's not night, it's day, and their target isn't a light source.

The number of carrion corpses involved in the capture of the towers is growing rapidly at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.

The total number of carrion corpses in this siege was probably several times that of the previous one, and the reason for this was not only because of the addition of that convoy.

It seems that they do understand the importance of quantity.

No matter how weak the strength of the individuals is, if they form a collective, then even if they are stacked arhats, they can be stacked on the city wall.

Looking at the surging army of siegers in front of him, Xie Yan slowly moved his long sword towards his neck.

"Smack." A rotting hand touched the ground in front of Xie Yan.

Then the hand was trampled into a mess in front of him.

Standing in front of him was a familiar figure.

"Don't come unharmed, Captain Xie."

The player in front of him named 'Long Night on the Edge' smiled.

To be honest, it was very difficult to throw a rope ladder up from outside the city walls and secure it.

And I finally climbed up, and it felt like people were going to fall apart.

But despite this, I had to face the huge army under the city and leave this place with Xie Yan.

By the way, let's look for survivors, although it doesn't look like there will be.

"Can you still walk?" I patted Captain Xie on the shoulder and asked.

He shook his head.

"You don't have to worry about me, the city I am guarding has fallen to this point, and I should live and die with it." He leaned against the city wall and looked feebly at the hellish sight.

"Phew." I took a sip, "Since you are the only survivor of your land, you should live with the fire of your settlement, and pass on your culture and spirit, instead of sitting here like a coward and waiting to die." ”

He stared at me silently.

"You don't feel like a player...... It's more like the people of our world. ”

"Well, if you die, everything will be over, and I do have more important things to do." He turned his head and regained his grip on the sword.

"But......" he looked at the staircase in front of him that was filled with rotting corpses, which was the only way to get through.

I waved my hand, "It's okay, it's okay. ”

"We're going to kill all the way from here." I stretched out my right hand.

The white square in his hand jumped up and down, spreading a soft aura outward.

"Quick Build Flamethrower!"

The essentia cube quickly expanded, turning into a gigantic beast in front of me.

Directly across the muzzle of the gun was the filthy staircase.

"Let the flame purify all !!!!!!!"

Huge tongues of fire erupted, and countless flames intertwined, turning into fiery dragons, stretching among the corpses, unleashing their messy calligraphy art.

Under such high temperatures, not only the rotting corpses, but even the black mist itself was incinerated and turned into nothingness.

Soon, a path leading to the city was cleared, and the rotting corpses and black mist were completely unable to withstand the power of the flames. They were incinerated to ashes in almost a matter of seconds.

We explored all the buildings in the town, but made no progress.

So far, not a single survivor has been found.

On the way of exploring, I also tried to exchange some things with Xie Yan.

"So Jianliang and its surrounding towns belong to Gear City?"

"Yes." He replied.

"And which country does Gear City belong to?"

He shook his head, "Gear City is an independent force, it is not part of any country, nor is it located under the jurisdiction of any country. ”

"There's one thing I'm curious about." Something suddenly occurred to me, "Gear City seems so closed, so how did it come from?" ”

Xie Yan thought for a moment, and his gaze rested on my flamethrower.

"Arms, weapons."

"They sell the weapons they produce to warlike nations, powers, and let them show off their might in front of their enemies."

"The victory obtained by using the weapons they produce is itself a kind of advertising, so naturally more people will be willing to become their customers."

This is the first time I've heard of these things, and I can't help but be a little surprised.

"By the way, even that Halo Church is said to have made a deal with them."

A thought suddenly flashed through me, and I looked at Xie Yan and asked, "What about the other than arms?" ”

"Except...... Ammunition? Xie Yan was a little puzzled, "What do you mean?" ”

Actually, I asked this question for a reason, because the Gear City I had seen had more valuable things than just munitions.

What was the lab that Elise took me to?

Why do the inhabitants there go out by day?

And, let's be honest.

Arms may be only their secondary industry, and their main industry is far from simple.

"If you don't know, don't answer, I'll ask you one last question."

Xie Yan nodded slightly, staring at me, waiting for my question.

"How long is the history of Gear City and your large settlement?" I threw out this question, which seems to me to be critical.

The answer to this question, if I understand it, will probably answer some of the doubts in my mind.

"Two generations, 58 years." Xie Yan thought for a moment and replied.

"In fact, the recorded history of this world is only 80 years, and no one knows what the world was like 80 years ago."

It's weird.

"Isn't there even anyone over 80?" I was surprised.

"Yes." Xie Yan replied, "But as long as it involves 80 years of history, it will become a blank, including memory." ”

How can there be such a thing? Unbelievable.

If there is no regime in this world that has lasted for more than 80 years, is it understandable that almost everything has only just been established?

System, Principles, Money, Technology, Knowledge, Religion......

No, I almost forgot, it's the game.

Even if they don't have a history, their creator can give them a present out of thin air.

I feel like I need to post this information on the forum.

When I opened the menu, I caught a glimpse of Xie Yan in a daze.

He held his sword across his eyes, intently observing something.

I put away the menu and followed his gaze.

It's a piece of black matter on the blade of a sword.

It was a plague of materialization, but somehow it didn't corrode his sword.

I remember Elise saying that this physical plague corrodes all metal and organics, and maybe his sword is something special.

"The truth ......," Xie Yan muttered.

"What do you say?" I leaned closer to Xie Yan.

Xie Yan glanced at me and put away his long sword, "I'm sorry, it's time for me to go, I know what I should do." ”

"You, where are you going?" Amazed by his sudden behavior, I asked.

"Find out the source of the plague." He straightened his clothes and headed out of the city.

Immediately, he added: "Please don't come with me, it's my own business." ”

"Jianliang has been ruined, it has completely disappeared, but this is definitely not the end, I hope I can prevent this sudden disaster as much as possible." He said, "If you want to help me a little, go to Huilan Town, which is probably the only pure land in our settlement." ”

"Rush to Huilan Town and hold there, although we have no history, we can't have no future."

"Please." He bowed deeply and ran away quickly.

Although this is entrusted in a much similar way to the traditional way that NPCs give the player tasks.

Although his behavior of going to investigate like this seems silly.

However, I decided to help him.

Although he didn't tell me how to go.

……

"Xie Yan!! Why don't you tell me the location!! ”
