"We. "The other two remaining Ironbeards, after learning that they were killed by the Flying Snake, are now completely confused. opened his mouth without saying half a word, and then looked at Bai Langning, who was contemplating.

Except for the regimental commander who had been killed a long time ago, this commander was their only backbone now. After all, they used to be big-headed soldiers, and it has become their instinctive habit to obey orders in major decisions.

Bai Langning hesitated and thought for a long time before he sighed slightly and replied, "Sir, we want to rebuild Ironbeard. This is the mercenary group of the regimental commander and other dead comrades, and I, I want to keep it running. ”

Hearing this, Hezenor nodded and smiled slightly: "Okay, Xiaobai really didn't see the wrong person." ”

Speaking of this, under the slightly puzzled gaze of Bai Langning and the others, Hezenor pointed to the direction of the battlefield behind him and explained: "Xiaobai said that thanks to your bomb help, you can solve those nine guys without damage. I'll hand over the corpses to you, and I'll follow me back to Silent City as soon as you're done. ”

"Huh?" Bai Langning couldn't help but look stunned, and then showed a look of joy. Immediately, Lizheng nodded heavily and replied, "Yes, sir." ”

Just as he was about to beckon his two companions to leave, Hezenor reminded again: "I hope you will give us a reasonable explanation for God's affairs. Not really!"

Bai Langning couldn't help but pause, and under the inexplicable surprised gaze of the two companions, he nodded with a serious expression: "Okay, sir, I know what to do!"

Ma Shuo, who had already gone deep into the demon paulownia woods, raised his hand and touched the pitch-black iron trunk beside him: "If it doesn't cause those negative effects on people, in fact, the smell of demon paulownia wood is really good!"

After saying that, he immediately took off his mask and threw it aside, and continued to walk deeper without looking at it. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want others to know that he was immune to toxins, he wouldn't have wanted to bring these masks a long time ago.

Not to mention obstructing the view and affecting the light, it is also very uncomfortable to strangle on the face. There is also a crucial reason, that is, the ignition point of the demon paulownia wood is too high, and the flint he carries cannot be lit at all.

If he continued to move forward with the mask on, it would greatly affect his vision.

At this time, he took off his mask and suddenly relaxed, and even his steps couldn't help but speed up by two points.

The trunks, branches, and foliage were almost all black, and the cloudy weather was starless and moonless, and the whole forest was close to the point where you couldn't see your fingers.

But Ma Shuo doesn't need any road signs at all, even if the visual distance is not even five meters, ordinary people have long been unable to figure out the east, west, north and south, but the word lost can't happen to him at all.

After groping forward like this for more than 20 minutes, the dilapidated ruins began to appear under his feet, and the front became more and more dark and gloomy. Ma Shuo suddenly had a feeling in his heart: the center of Silent Hill was about to arrive.

Sure enough, after walking less than 100 meters, when the visual distance was only about a foot in front of him, he found himself on an old path. The paulownia trees in the walls on both sides of the building became taller and taller, and the canopy of branches and foliage became denser.

"Is the building so well preserved?" Ma Shuo couldn't help frowning slightly, and while taking out his broken teeth to show vigilance, he couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.

It is said that people and animals should not approach near the demon paulownia wood, and there are indeed no insects and beasts on this road. Even because of the lack of sunlight all year round, there is not even a single green blade of grass around except for some mushrooms.

However, Ma Shuo still felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, and with a cautious attitude of being cautious and not making a big mistake, he clenched his broken teeth and continued to walk forward.

He didn't know if he was heading towards the center, but as long as he went, there shouldn't be much wrong. It's a big deal to search left and right, and he always finds something he wants.

After nearly two hours of searching, Ma Shuo found the law of this place step by step according to the degree of damage to the building. The better the building is preserved, the closer it is to the very middle.

Of course, this also means another thing, and that is that the further you go to the center, the darker the environment becomes.

Therefore, when Ma Shuo came to the very center, he had reached the point where he could barely see his fingers when he raised his hand. But when he stepped up the seven flights of stairs, he could tell by the touch of his fingertips that he had touched a huge stone pillar with a diameter of nearly one meter.

Stone Forest Again?

No, the pillars are very smooth, as if they have been polished by hand.

A thought flashed through Ma Shuo's mind: this is a tall building! And it is very likely that it is all stone, or most of it is a tall building made of stone.

In general, the main buildings of each city are designed to face north and south. Because they are located in the north, even during the hottest summer months, the sun is still a little southerly.

The building's main door and main windows are located on the south side, allowing sunlight to penetrate directly in winter. This is the easiest way to save resources, and it has long been the consensus of every builder.

Ma Shuo was on the south side of this building at this time, and after thinking about it, he immediately took the tip of the broken tooth as a guide and carefully touched it to the north step by step. I didn't take two steps before I heard the broken tooth hit an obstacle.

And when the dagger came from the "ding", it could be seen that it was still touching a metal object.

Immediately stretched out his left hand and carefully groped for it, and at the same time touched the metal object: "Huh, door knocker?"

The knocker is a tradition of North Sanke, a design style that neither the Federation nor the Maple Leaf Nation are accustomed to. Because most of the northern regions have ice periods, hungry beasts that can't find food in the wild in winter will occasionally enter human settlements in search of food.

There is a knocker on the outside and a latch lock on the inside. Moreover, the doors of North Sanke are all open outward. This prevents wild beasts from breaking down the door, or if people are anxiously fleeing back to their houses and forget to lock the door, the beasts without "hands" will also not be able to rush in.

And later the knocker has another function, nail an iron piece at the contact part at the bottom of the knocker, and knocking on the knocker can play the role of knocking on the door to remind you.

Ma Shuo, who touched the door knocker, was slightly stunned, and subconsciously pulled the door knocker and knocked on it.

"Ding, Ding!"

After three sounds, Ma Shuo suddenly shook his head with a wry smile, and muttered to himself: "Am I stupid?

Just as he was about to open the door and enter, he saw an orange-red light instantly lit up in the crack of the door.

Suddenly frightened, Ma Shuo hurriedly took three steps back, stood on the edge of the stone steps, raised his dagger, and became seriously vigilant. A few drops of cold sweat instantly oozed from his forehead: "What's the situation! Is there really a living person in Silent Hill?"

As soon as the thought came to mind, I heard a slightly hoarse and arrogant female voice from inside the door: "The door is not locked, come in by yourself!"

"Goo!" Ma Shuo couldn't help but swallow his saliva instantly, hesitated for a long time before taking a deep breath, and while slowly exhaling this turbid breath, he also put away his broken teeth and walked to the door again.

With four points of vigilance and six points of curiosity, he slowly opened the arched wooden door more than three meters high in front of him.
