Chapter 381: Weird Qianyuan City
Li Chen didn't know that at this time, Liu Yuequan, who was their captive, had already had greedy thoughts about him, it was really interests that made people crazy, even if he himself was at risk of being killed at any time, he still dared to have different intentions about his captive's own life.
Li Chen didn't understand why Murong Zhilan showed that expression after he answered, but at that time, he always had a feeling of heartache and wanted to hold Murong Zhilan in his arms and comfort him.
But that's just thinking about it, Li Chen didn't offend Murong Zhilan's courage, he always felt that with his current strength and identity, he was not worthy of the noble and gentle Murong Zhilan.
Lin Zhi's four daughters actually sometimes have a stomachache when they watch the interaction between Murong Zhilan and Li Chen, and many times they are already blind to watching Li Chen's various performances, so a conversation like today's hastily ended is actually just expected for the women, and soon they will forget the little awkward conversation just now.
The width of the wall of Qianyuan City is actually exaggerated enough relative to its height, and everyone walked more than 20 meters above this flat city wall before they saw the stairs leading to the city below.
Looking into the city, near the wall where they stood, many of the houses were old and collapsed, apparently uninhabited for years, and even the streets of the city were covered with cobwebs, weeds, and dust on the stone floor.
It was only when they crossed this street, seven or eight hundred meters away from this city gate, that they saw some traces of pedestrians, obviously not only this city gate, but even this accommodation area close to the city gate had been abandoned by the people of Qianyuan City!
The cultivation team did not hesitate, after coming down from the city wall, they rushed to the area where the Martians were active, if they wanted to really understand the Martians, of course, they had to integrate into their lives first!
When the group walked into the street of Qianyuan City where there were pedestrians, their group of people dressed in strange tattered costumes did not attract the attention of those pedestrians. The passers-by walked the streets numbly like marionettes, oblivious to the sudden crowd of outsiders emerging from the rubble.
On both sides of the street there are scattered some vendors' stalls, the stalls are placed with some wild vegetables and other scattered things, of course, there are also butchers' stalls, but I don't know what kind of meat their Martian cities eat, whether there are also large farms and slaughterhouses like the earth.
None of these vendors made a shout, and no one stepped forward to solicit customers, even if Li Chen stepped forward to talk to Yang Linyi behind his back, a stall owner selling meat only pointed to a signboard hanging in front of the stall and signaled Li Chen to look at the price himself, looking unwilling to communicate with people at all.
"Anyway, why are they Martians so calm? How is seeing us the same as seeing air? Li Chengmin rubbed his palms and said a little boringly.
The group walked in the middle of the streets of Qianyuan City, and the Martian natives all avoided them, only walking on both sides of the road, and no one looked at them more than one in the process.
When they were traveling in the Mariner's Canyon a few days ago, they had actually used the translator of Base 1 to learn the language of the Martians, combined with the accents of those people when they negotiated with the people of Chiwu City at Base 1, in fact, they were already able to speak the language of the Martians directly.
In other words, the abnormality of these Martians is not actually related to them as outsiders, and they are estimated to be in this state of life on weekdays.
However, as the group continued to walk in the direction of the center of the city, and crossed a block again, one of the Martians they met finally gave them a different reaction.
It was a dazzling old lady, after Li Chen and the others stepped into the new block, the old lady happened to be carrying a stack of packages similar to Chinese medicine packets from a shop on the street, and when she saw the group of cultivators coming out of the next block, she immediately screamed softly, "Ah~! Kill a thousand knives! The people of the lower town rushed over! They're crazy, they're going to kill us all! ”
Don't look at the old lady's silver hair, with a cane in one hand, but her voice is really not ordinary, Li Chen even thinks that even from two streets away, he should be able to hear her extremely fast scream just now.
The old lady's scream finally made everyone in the cultivation team see some differences, and as soon as she finished shouting, she threw away the crutches in her hand, "Whoosh! A thud slammed into the shop she had just come out of, and then "Smack!" The door of the shop was slammed shut, and a pair of dim old eyes were still staring at the group of young people standing on the street at a loss.
And the old lady's action was just the beginning, and those who heard the old lady's shouts were all crazy, and they ran to the nearby store that was still open, and then they heard a series of "pop!" Syllable! Syllable! The sound of the door closing, and those who were in a hurry, even their shoes were thrown off, and they didn't care to pick it up, so they squeezed into the store door that was about to be closed.
The new street that Li Chen and the others had just set foot on was still full of people coming and going, and it was only a few breaths, and there was not a single living person in the entire street except for them! Only some rotten leaves are left on the ground to be gently swayed by the breeze.
And Li Chen and the others looked back again, the street where they came was still in that calm situation, all the people were quietly choosing their favorite dishes, and then paying quietly, and quietly going to the next stall!
"W-what the hell?" Even Li Chen, who was pretending to be calm just now, can't understand it now, why is there such a big gap in reaction between the two streets that are just a few meters apart? Is it a Martian dungeon or some kind of large-scale suspenseful haunted house scene!?
"Why don't I ask?" Li Chengmin was eager to try, just now when Li Chen communicated with the meat seller in Martian on the last street, she also wanted to try her alien language level, and now when she meets a reactive Martian, wouldn't it be a good time to try her skills!?
"Don't!" Li Chen hurriedly stopped Li Chengmin, who wanted to rush over and open the door of someone's store, and said, "Don't you see that we scared them so much that they didn't even dare to go out as soon as they walked into this street, if you go directly to call the door, others don't have to think that the evil ghost has come to the door!?" ”
"You're a ghost!" Li Chengmin snorted dissatisfiedly and didn't object to Li Chen's opinion anymore, looking at the frightened eyes that looked at them through the crack in the door, Li Chengmin didn't think he could get any useful news!
