Chapter 16: The Hard-to-Access Rich Zone
Colin slept for most of the day, woke up in the evening, ate and drank again, and went back to sleep.
The next morning, he was fully refreshed and looked no different from yesterday.
But Pan Long noticed that there were a few more gray hairs in the hair on his head.
The group set off to enter Weilun City again, because of the success of the last time, this time everyone was full of spirit and fighting spirit.
Every time they passed a house, Weimar and Joseph had to go in and search for it. But unfortunately, when they entered the house, they found that every room had already been given a head start.
The rooms were in a mess, everything was turned open, and nothing of value could be found.
Clearly, there had been far more than a group of scavengers visiting the city before them.
After a dozen futile attempts, Weimar and Joseph looked a little depressed, and they finally learned that yesterday's good fortune was just an accident.
Colin didn't care, and comforted his sons with a smile: "Today's situation is normal, if every scavenger can harvest as much as yesterday, then how can everyone think that scavenging is dangerous?"
They walked all the way to the rich area, and when they arrived around noon, they came to the edge of a stone bridge.
The bridge connects the villas where the real rich live, and the deck is wide enough for several horse-drawn carriages to run alongside. But at the moment the bridge was completely blocked.
A large group of dried corpses gathered on the bridge, including a large man in rusty armor. Standing motionless, like a statue. He was covered in arrows and looked like a hedgehog, but he was still standing with a halberd.
Everyone stopped.
Colin looked at the big man and sighed.
"That's the famous master, 'Thor' - I don't remember what his name was, but I know that everyone called him that. ”
"Why is he standing in the middle of a crowd of jumping corpses?" Pan Long asked.
"When the 'disaster' broke out in Vilun City, he was the first person to get sick. Colin muttered, "After he became ill, he defended the bridge. Many people tried to cross the bridge, but he killed them. The corpses of those people became these jumping corpses. ”
Pan Long frowned: "Could it be that there is no master in the entire rich area who can deal with him?"
"At that time, there was no 'Awakened One', he was originally the most powerful master in Velen City, and after being affected by the 'Calamity', he became even more powerful. Even hundreds of people couldn't beat him. Colin sighed, "You saw the arrows on him, didn't you? He was shot like this, but it didn't work at all, it didn't affect him at all." ”
"Whoever flees in this direction in the rich district, not a single one can escape. In the end, those who survived were all left through the small gate that carried the garbage. ”
Pan Long looked at the tall figure from a distance and couldn't help but be a little admired.
With the strength of one person, the entire rich area was stopped, forcing those rich people to go another way. This "Thor God" is really an amazing character!
"And what do we do?" Weimar asked worriedly, "we can't beat so many enemies!
Colin smiled: "I'm not crazy, why bother him? But if we want to go into the rich area, it doesn't mean that we have to cross the bridge." ”
He pointed to the river under the bridge: "A short distance from the side, there is a small pier where we can tear wood from a nearby house and build a raft and cross the river to the rich area – many villas in the rich area have docks and even have their own boats." ”
So, led by Colin, they avoided the bridge far away, walked a short way, and came to a small pier.
But on the dock, there are also a lot of jumping corpses.
Seeing these jumping corpses, Weimar and Joseph were a little worried, and Colin's face was also gloomy.
"Why would a group of people die on the docks?" he whispered to himself, "won't they run away?"
"Maybe there's something in the river that keeps them from escaping. "I believe that when the 'calamity' broke out, there must have been a lot of people who wanted to escape by water. They had gathered on the docks, and perhaps there were already ships to meet them. But something unexpected happened...... I don't know if the accident came from the boat or from the river, but they were killed at once before they had time to escape or put up an effective resistance. ”
This is an easy conclusion to make, not to mention Colin, but even Weimar and Joseph can understand.
But the danger behind this conclusion made the father and son frown.
Colin thought for a long time before he reluctantly spoke: "Norman is right, the danger may come directly from the river. In other words, perhaps...... It is also hidden in the river. ”
Weimar and Joseph looked at the rolling water, and suddenly looked frightened.
"Let's not go near the river, let's take a detour. Colin said, "I don't know the exact location of that little gate in the rich area. But a rough estimate is always possible. It will take a little time, but it is much safer to enter through the small door than to challenge Thor, the god of thunder, or the monsters in the river. ”
"But...... Leaving the shelter for a long time is dangerous in itself, isn't it?" Weimar said worriedly, "why don't we go back, this time the harvest is already good." ”
Colin hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "This harvest is enough for our whole family for five or six years at most, and this is also based on the condition that everyone does not get sick and accidents do not occur." After five or six years, I didn't have the strength to fight anymore. What are you going to do then? Why don't you save enough wealth for decades while I can still fight!"
"Let's go, let's go out of the city and look for the little door. ”
The group went out of the city and circled the tall walls in search of the small gate.
But it was not easy, and after twenty years, the walls were covered with vines, and in many places the walls were not even visible. And the weeds on the side of the wall are also very large and tall, and there are some sparse small trees...... It's not easy to find a small door in a place like this.
They searched for an afternoon, but they couldn't find the little door. Seeing that it was getting late, I could only go back to rest.
After dinner, Colin's family went to rest, but Pan Long stuffed a bag of weeds into a sleeping bag, pretended that he was still sleeping, and quietly left the camp.
He walked straight towards the bridge he had seen during the day, and the target was none other than the master known as Thor.
The other party may be the most powerful person in the world, and he wants to try it, is his strength high or low compared to the other party?
If even that guy can beat it, then he doesn't have to be too careful in this world, and it's no problem to walk sideways......
