Chapter Twenty-Three: The Ruins Fence
"What happened to Ruins No. 1 at that time, that it was so badly damaged?"
"Is this serious?" Liu Xingwen glanced at Mai Si coldly, "In this deserted city, the number one here, the number three in front, and the number five in front of it, the damage to these three ruins is the lowest, like the other ruins of No. 246789, the damage is serious, otherwise, how could the authorities stop the barbed wire fence dozens of meters high in the ruined city?" In order to be afraid that some ignorant children will be curious and sneak into the center of the ruins. ”
"You mean there's a barbed wire fence in the deserted city?" Max blurted out.
Liu Pang first glanced at Mai Si, and then mocked: "What have you been doing all these years, you don't care about current affairs at all?" ”
After a pause, his tone softened, "But it's no wonder that the alien race in the crypt drove the strange beasts to attack my Begonia Federation in 8492, the government started the reconstruction in 8500, and the construction of the isolation network was in 8510...... In this way, if you have any questions in the future, just ask me, and I will know everything. ”
Max was emboldened and immediately asked, "Why does the government want to build the fence?" ”
"Test me, right?"
"It's just a test of what happened to you, and it depends on your incomplete answers."
Liu Pang said proudly: "I will give three reasons for this question, first, the core ruins with a shocking degree of destruction are the eternal scars of my Begonia Federation, and it is almost impossible to completely heal, and it is isolated in order to preserve the original appearance, so as to wake up future generations; Second, according to rumors...... I'm not talking nonsense, there are a lot of posts on the internet...... Since the strange beasts attacked my Begonia Federation, the people of my magic city have made a resolute counterattack, except for a small number of strange beasts and monsters who escaped back to their lair, the rest were all killed, unfortunately, in the process of encirclement and suppression, a small number of strange beasts escaped, hiding somewhere in the ruins! There are different opinions about this small-sized strange beast, some say that it is a strange beast monster that has changed, and it will never grow up, and some say that it is a cub born by the female monster at that time, in short, the escaped monster has never appeared in people's field of vision again......"
Max interrupted, "Since no one is seeing, could it be that people are chasing after the wind?" ”
"I didn't see it, but someone heard it!"
"Hear what?"
"The roar of the monsters!"
Liu Xingwen slowed down, and his expression revealed a kind of awkward mystery: "In the following decades, many citizens reacted to some extremely bad weather, and in the dead of night, they heard a terrible and terrifying roar like a lion roaring like a wolf from the depths of the ruins, and some people described the sound as coming from hell, more like a demon seeking his life. ”
"Really?"
As soon as the words came out, Max regretted it very much, and said again: "If that strange beast monster was left behind by the wave of attacks on the Begonia Federation in 8492, I'm afraid it has grown very big now, doesn't it mean that the strange beast monster is several stories high, why can't such a giant monster find its traces?" ”
"From this, it can be seen that this strange beast must have changed, and may never grow bigger."
"Are you so sure?"
"Ken or not I'm sure I don't know, I just know that since then, people often find some mutated animals around this ruin, such as wild cats, wild dogs, rats and snakes, etc., and even some animals have been detached from their original appearance and cannot be recognized at all, just take the snake just now, it is very likely to be a mutated snake."
Max immediately remembered the big snake with the thickness of the arm he had just seen, and his suspicions were repeated: "How do you think they have mutated?" ”
"Have you ever seen a dog or cat the size of a cow?"
Max gasped, "You're saying these mutated animals have something to do with that monster?" ”
"No, as long as you are bitten by a strange beast, most of them will mutate."
"Is there any evidence?"
"Of course, how else would the authorities have set up a hunting party? Tracing the history of the establishment of the hunting team, there are also decades, although it does not belong to the government establishment, but the treatment is not low, these people patrol the perimeter of the ruins 24 hours a day, in order to fear that the mutated animals will escape to the living area of Xicheng and pollute the biological chain, during which they hunted a lot of mutated animals, and after inspection, they found that they have large or small scars on their bodies, no exceptions, otherwise how could they come to this conclusion? ”
"You mean to say that these scars were bitten by the monster?"
"Hmm." Liu Xingwen looked up at the sky again, frowned and said, "The sky has changed, it looks like it's going to rain." ”
As he spoke, he quickened his pace.
The setting sun hid behind one of the tallest buildings in the West Side, leaving the last wisps of scarlet in the sky above the building, and beyond that, the sky was already covered with heavy clouds, and with the sudden wind, all the clouds were churning rapidly.
Max caught up: "Didn't you say that there are three reasons, and there is another one?" ”
Liu Xingwen replied as he walked: "In the center of this ruin, there may be a secret passage to the crypt alien race!" Of course, there is no basis for this, maybe people are spreading falsehoods, but maybe it's not groundless, don't you see that the government authorities have cut off all the underground networks in the ruined city? Including the original abandoned underground rail transit, water and gas supply pipelines, and even underground drainage systems ......"
He spoke calmly, but Max was surprised.
"Well, are I giving a comprehensive answer?"
Mai Si deliberately looked very relaxed, and pretended to be profound: "There should be another reason." ”
"Oh? Let's hear it. ”
"The government may have the idea of creating a ruined heritage park one day."
Liu Pang immediately expressed disdain: "Someday? Hehe, who of today's officials still cares about the earth? They can't wait to immigrate to Mars immediately, in less than one or two decades, in addition to the old, weak, sick and disabled, the earth is full of waste wood that is not learned and unskilled, and waits for death, and the earth at that time is waiting to fend for itself! ”
