Sitting under the wall of a dilapidated courtyard, there is a shell crater one meter deep and five meters wide.

Tearing off a piece of jerky and chewing hard, Ma Shuo sighed involuntarily.

The sky seemed to be fixed the moment he entered the City of Truth, and he had already eaten 99 meals, and it was still the same fixed appearance of the sunset.

Three days without sleep, most of the time Ma Shuo spent on the run. Judging from the map in his hand, he has already run through the city during this time.

But every time he looked back, he found that not to mention the towering wild mountains, even the endless white forests still lingered at the end of the line of sight.

For three days, Ma Shuo suspected that he was mostly standing still. At this time, I sat down and thought about it carefully, and I couldn't help but feel a burst of powerlessness in my heart.

Since you can't solve the problem by relying on physical strength, you can only take a break for a while and wait for your ability to recover.

Swallowing the jerky in his mouth, Ma Shuo glanced at the sunset again, stuffed all the rest of the jerky into his mouth, got up and walked around at will.

On the premise of conserving his physical strength as much as possible, he wanted to see if he was really standing still. The best thing to do is to go south or north to see if there is a noticeable change in the distance between the mountain and the sun.

Do it when you think of it, this is a good habit that Ma Shuo has always maintained. Tightening the package on his back, he jumped over the ruins with one arm and continued his slow walk north.

Ma Shuo, who calmed down and took a walk, occasionally raised his hand to touch those rising flashes, and found that they penetrated directly through the palm of his hand, without any temperature or touch, as if these things were really light and did not exist as if there was no substance.

"These are all fakes?phantom?" Ma Shuo kept at his feet, looked at the back of his palm, and muttered: "When will the obstacle be restored, the food reserve is not much!"

In fact, the biggest problem in front of Ma Shuo now, in addition to the reduction of food reserves by half, is also the problem of daily excretion. From the time he entered the confines of this ruined city, he knew what a grassless battlefield was.

It's hard to even find a few blades of grass, let alone any other large plants. The whole environment was filled with dead silence, depression and desolation, and it also made Ma Shuo's mind instantly flash a seemingly exaggerated term - the loss of life.

From the many ruins along the way, Ma Shuo seems to have seen the glory and prosperity of the past.

But the stone slabs that lay on all the roads, the huge rock pillars that only had the foundations left in the buildings on either side, and the sword and spear that had worn out most of them with the erosion of time, all bear witness to the sharp contrast between the past and the present.

Before I knew it, I had been walking for about two hours. Looking at the sun in the west again, Ma Shuo was a complete compromise.

They are right, it's easy to come to the City of Truth, but when you want to go out again, you won't know how to write a difficult word.

He took off the package and put it aside, and sat down on the pile of rubbles next to him. Although there is a lot of strength in the body, the feeling of being tired is indescribable.

I just don't want to move, I don't even want my brain to think about anything.

There was still a deathly silence around him, except for the occasional icy cold wind, and Ma Shuo felt like he was back in the green realm again.

It's just that this time it's not the relaxing and vibrant greenery in front of you. Rather, it was a myriad of grays, blues and whites, and charred blacks, which felt completely different, full of colors that smelled of despair and death.

And Ma Shuo was also affected by these colors, and unconsciously fell into hesitation.

Countless questions flashed through his mind, and after each doubt, he was one step closer to despair, and the sleepiness and exhaustion in his brain also rolled in like a tide.

Just when Ma Shuo was about to feel broken, he suddenly thought of the brand and ring hanging on his chest, and immediately took it out and held it in the palm of his hand and kept groping.

"Someone is helping me. Ma Shuo sighed with a complicated expression, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled slightly: "There are also people who care about me." ”

"I don't want much, that's enough!" Putting the most precious "necklace" into the neckline again, Ma Shuo got up and moved his muscles and bones, and came to the nearest small flat ground, continuing the kneading and bone forging exercises he had been insisting on.

As for the surrounding environment, no matter how bleak and desolate it is, it has nothing to do with her now. Taking advantage of the opportunity to continue exercising, it can be regarded as passing the time waiting for the ability to recover.

He didn't know when his abilities would return, and he didn't feel anything special. It just comes naturally, as if everything is as it should be.

After letting go of grief and despair, time always flies.

Before he knew it, another six hours had passed, and although all of them were in motion, Ma Shuo felt that he was getting more and more energetic. Even the occasional flash of brilliance in his eyes was more dazzling than ever.

Suddenly, a layer of filter seemed to be added to his eyes, and after a fleeting blur, Ma Shuo's whole person was stunned.

What is around? The ruins and ruins are still there, and the depression is still lonely. But what about the palm with more than 40 centimeters of claws in front of him, and the humanoid carrion with six arms not far away?

Raising his eyes and looking around, Ma Shuo was even more shocked and speechless. Not to mention the strangely shaped corpses and bones in the distance, just look at what he wrapped and suppressed, it turned out to be a humanoid skull with two inches of sharp teeth.

No wonder! No wonder he had only seen the battlefield all the time, but he had not found any traces of corpse blood. It turns out that these are all deeply hidden under the illusion, and he has officially confirmed one thing, his ability has been restored!

It was only at this time that I reacted, and where was there any warmth reflected by the sunset around me, it had already become completely dark. And he wasn't too far away from the Rainbow Forest, only less than a hundred meters deep.

Seeing this situation, Ma Shuo couldn't help but swallow his saliva. After walking less than 100 meters in three days, the snail crawled much faster than him!

"These corpses are probably all inhuman. Looking at those strangely shaped humanoid bones again, Ma Shuo's expression was suddenly stunned, and he stepped forward only to find that it was mixed with scattered human corpses.

And judging by the degree of preservation of the costumes, they are definitely "fresh" corpses that have died in the last two or three years.

When looking at the waist of the corpse, Ma Shuo raised his eyebrows slightly. Immediately put away the pistol and crouched, and opened the skeleton that had no flesh at all, and found a dagger inlaid with precious stones, which was stuck diagonally in the heart of the skeleton.

Are you too deeply affected by the desperate environment around you, and choose to commit suicide after a complete mental breakdown?

Thinking of this, Ma Shuo subconsciously touched the necklace on his chest. If it weren't for the snow jade card and ring, I'm afraid he would have chosen to commit suicide.

sighed and picked up the dagger, the cold light of the curved single blade, so that Ma Shuo couldn't help but admire: "Baby, this is." ”
