Chapter 176: Return to the Metropolitan Area (3)

The night on the grassland is very quiet, and it seems that because it is almost close to the metropolitan area, I always feel that the light of the lights will be reflected in the sky, and there seems to be a faint halo on the horizon.

People don't sleep soundly, and because of the alternate vigils, most of them sleep for three or four hours before they fall asleep.

At five o'clock in the morning, the sky is covered with fish belly white, and the morning shimmer sprinkles the dew on the tip of the leaves, and the whole grassland is like a layer of crystal clear pearls, which has a charming style.

A few people were sleeping in clothes, but after waking up, they simply washed up and ate some dry food.

Although the metropolitan area is not far ahead, people's hearts always seem to be pressed against a heavy stone, and they are a little breathless.

"Let's go." Kohei finally made a decision, instead of worrying here, it is better to go and investigate, and maybe there is a chance to rescue his relatives.

The locomotive roared into action, and Ral rubbed his sleepy-eyed eyes and shouted, "Sit tight, girls, and we're off!" ”

The locomotive roared and galloped forward, a distance of more than ten kilometers, and it didn't take too long, and when Lahr had not yet enjoyed the fun of driving the locomotive, the outline of the metropolitan area was already looming in front of him.

"Ral, slow down." Akira said.

The locomotive immediately slowed down to about 20 yards and slowly moved forward, and people carefully observed the surrounding scenery, and it seemed that there were no valuable clues except for the wild grass or the wild grass.

The perimeter of the metropolitan area is a towering steel wall, originally built to defend against a large-scale invasion of strange people, and the walls are full of large weapons, and the firepower is more powerful than most people think.

However, when the locomotive gradually approached the perimeter of the city wall, there was no one to be seen guarding the city wall, and the gate of the city wall was open and seemed to be very smooth.

As a veteran of the outpost, Ral used to return to the metropolitan area to purchase supplies, and often dealt with the guards, who generally inspected vehicles entering and leaving the metropolitan area to prevent anyone from carrying smuggling goods and to ensure military use.

"Something must have happened!" Lal said with a serious face, "Normally, at this time, the soldiers have already started to stand guard, but look at it, there is no one at the door. In the past, the officer in charge here would have been shot a long time ago. ”

Shion leaned back on the chair with her shadow sleeve in her arms and closed her eyes to recuperate, as if all this was strange in front of her.

The Holy Son was engrossed in activating God's perspective, wanting to see the movement inside the city wall, but after a long time, she shook her head and said with a shocked expression, "I can't even see inside." It's impossible. This has never been the case. ”

The locomotive was parked on the side of the road, less than a few hundred meters away from the city gate, but this part of the road was like a moat, and it was even more difficult to cross it.

"The reason why the soldiers at the outpost lost contact is probably from the moment they entered the city gates," Kohei speculated, "but why the Holy Son couldn't see what was going on inside was the most worrying thing." ”

Huang Ping stared intently at the tall city wall in front of him, the wall that reflected the metallic light in the morning light was like a cold guillotine, and once a few people walked in, they would fall fiercely and cut off their great heads.

"It's useless to think too much, let's go in." Kohei looked at the few people around him.

Shion was as cold as ever, but there was a look of eagerness in her eyes, as if the unknown fear ahead had made her interested.

But sweat oozed from the forehead of the Holy Son, and in the face of the unknown, she was not afraid that it was fake, after all, her ability was only an auxiliary, and there was no direct combat power, in case she encountered a monster that Huangping and Shion were too busy to take care of, she was afraid that her life would not be guaranteed.

Not to mention Ral, he is at best just an ordinary soldier with strong combat effectiveness, and if he wants to fight the stranger, he may only have to die.

Kohei also thought of this, and he said to the Holy Son and Ral, "You two are waiting for us outside, now is not the time to bite the bullet, the most important thing is to preserve your strength." ”

Shion also nodded, "I agree with Jia Yue's opinion. ”

The Holy Son gritted his teeth and said, "But I can also help, disguise invisibility or something, I can do it." ”

Huang Ping patted her on the shoulder, "Okay, Holy Son, don't force it, let's go and get back quickly, in case it takes too long, you can also go back to Lemon Outpost or Bena Outpost, we will meet there." In short, don't worry too much about us. ”

Ral was a little depressed, "I can't imagine that I'm a big man when I'm disliked." ”

"The Holy Son will be handed over to you, and if she loses a hair, I will settle accounts with you." Huang Ping winked at him.

Lal scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, this Miss Jiayue is beautiful, and she understands men so well, and I don't know who will be so blessed to get her in the future.

Just as he was thinking nonsense, Huang Ping and Shion jumped out of the car, and while walking towards the city gate, they turned back and said, "Let's go, take care." ”

The Son's tears fell at once, and she choked up and shouted, "You too, you must come back safely." ”

Shaking his head and waving his hand without looking back, "Got it, don't worry." ”

The road under their feet continued to spread backwards, and Huangping and Shion slowly walked forward one after the other, and the closer they got to the city gate, the stronger the wind became, whistling past their ears, and they could even feel a faint smell of blood coming from the wind.

The two looked at each other, but the pace of their feet never stopped.

And when they entered the city gates, the wind suddenly stopped, and there was silence around them, as if it were a vacuum.

The clear view of the city inside the city gate was now blurred, as if all they had seen was a mirage.

Huang Ping finally hesitated, he stopped, and looked back again, but behind him turned into a fog, chaotic, no matter how much the wind blew, it could not be dissolved.

"It seems that our retreat has been broken", Huang Ping said with a wry smile, "Even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den ahead, we have to break through." “

Shion drew the blade of Shadow Sleeve and stared intently ahead, not hesitating to swing it to slash out if a threat broke in.

And she also walked in front of Huang Ping.

The length of the city gate was only a dozen meters, and soon they reached the edge of the passage, but the scenery in front of them was still blurry, as if they were looking through frosted glass.

Shion stepped into the city gate in front of him, and his figure disappeared at once, and Huang Ping, who followed him, was immediately taken aback, and shouted repeatedly, "Shion? Can you hear me? “

No one even answered the calls, and Huangping's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

But how could he retreat now, he puffed up his breath and strode out of the city gate, but what he didn't expect was that his front feet were empty, and he seemed to fall into the abyss.
