Chapter 435: Empty City

Lu Shengcai shrugged his nose and couldn't help but complain: "This city can't just be dug out of a dung pit, what kind of smell is this." ”

If it had been in the past, Yunshang would have passed it as soon as possible, but this time I waited for a long time and there was no movement on Yunshang's side.

I was a little puzzled, so I glanced back at Yunsheng and saw that she was crouching on the ground, scraping the ground with a small twig.

"Girl, what are you doing?" I asked in a whisper.

Lilith and Sif looked up at me at the same time, and when they saw that my eyes were not on them, they realized that the "girl" was Yunsheng.

Yunshang scraped the ground hard with the branch, and then held up the branch for me to see.

The light was dim, and I squinted to see that the tip of the branch was covered with a translucent scale.

I heard Yunshang say: "Look carefully, there are many similar things on the ground. ”

As soon as Yunshang said this, everyone bent down and searched on the ground, if you don't look carefully, it is a black brick floor, but if you look closely, you will find that there are many similar things attached to the ground.

Individually, it looks like fish scales, but when the large pieces are gathered together, it looks like dead skin from some kind of animal.

But no one can say what it is.

In addition to these weird dead skins, we found something else on the ground.

Footprints!

Due to the dim light, these shoe prints on the surface were actually difficult to detect, and it was also because I leaned low enough that I found a few vague outlines, and later found that these outlines were spreading in a certain direction, and I concluded that they were footprints.

Judging from the size and outline of the footprints, at least six or seven people had just passed by this place not long ago, and this number far exceeded the light spots that appeared near the water's edge, and it was estimated that they were left by the Flying Fish team.

I immediately beckoned everyone to follow the footprints, in fact, Lilith and Monceau both saw the marks on the ground, but at first they didn't realize that they were shoe prints left by others, after all, their eyesight was much better than mine, so I asked the two of them to lead the way, and I went to the back of the hall at the end of the line.

The town was frighteningly quiet, and I always felt that there might be danger lurking in the dark, and only by myself could I feel a little more at ease.

I followed the procession through several streets, and soon entered the most densely populated neighborhood of houses, with street lights on both sides of the road, and most of the houses were also brightly lit, but we could only see the lights on, but no living people.

The whole town, everywhere reveals traces of human habitation, but it is extremely silent, walking on the narrow streets, looking at the houses on the side of the road, it feels like walking on the path next to the cemetery, looking at the graves under the hillside.

Passing by a house in a large compound, the procession came to a halt, and I looked ahead with a frown, and saw Monceau hurrying back.

Monceau told me that there was a large area of standing water ahead, and that the footprints disappeared when they reached the vicinity of the water.

I scratched my cheeks, feeling a little more irritable.

At this time, the old wolf also made a mistake and asked Menceau: "What should we do next?" ”

Monceau sighed: "I do know the layout of the streets here, but I don't know where Haiting put the token!" ”

Haiting just asked everyone to come to the city to find the token and get out alive, but never told what the so-called token was.

The old wolf had said before that it was estimated that we would know the specific content of the test when we entered the dead city, but looking at his current expression, it seemed that he didn't guess what Haiting wanted to do.

I glanced at the people in the group, then glanced at the house next to me.

Just now I thought that the light shining from this house was extraordinarily bright, and when I swept it like this, I found that the door of the house was open, and the white light in the living room passed through the door frame and sprinkled right at my feet.

This time we sailed at sea for too long, Lilith and the others didn't need to rest, but none of us mortals had a good rest, right now, me, Yunshang, Lu Shengcai, and Xifu all looked like they were fighting spirits, and it is estimated that if we boiled it again, everyone's mental strength would be close to the limit.

The light reflected from the house looks particularly comfortable.

Thinking of this, I said to Lu Shengcai: "Dog leftover, go to the house to find out the situation." ”

Lu Shengcai immediately hid his figure, dodged into the courtyard, and about ten minutes later, he appeared near the door of the mansion again, and gave me a thumbs up from afar.

Safe at home!

So I beckoned everyone into the house to rest.

The veterans of the team had no objection to this, but Monceau and Sif were like great enemies, and as soon as I finished greeting everyone and was about to turn around and walk towards the door of the house, Monceau rushed over and grabbed my arm hard: "Beware of traps!" ”

I immediately laughed: "You're right, every house with lights on looks like a trap." ”

Menceau was stunned: "Then you still go in?" ”

I told him, "A good hunter would never put a trap in a place that most resembles a trap." ”

With that, I broke free of his hand and went into the house.

The town smells of danger everywhere, and wherever you hide, you might as well find a comfortable place to rest for the night.

However, Monceau and Sif were obviously not as free as we were, and after everyone had entered the house, they stood outside and hesitated for a long time, and finally reluctantly followed in, perhaps because of the herd mentality.

We didn't dare to spread everyone apart, so we found sheets and quilts, and made a big bunk directly in the living room, and all those who needed to rest gathered together to rest, and those who didn't need to rest kept vigil for us.

I've been having a nervous breakdown lately, I've fallen asleep not as quickly as I used to, everyone else's breathing rate has become more stable, and I'm still semi-awake.

Monceau probably thought I was asleep, and in a daze, I heard him ask near the door, "I can't figure it out, you two are said to be gods, why are you willing to be driven by such a mortal as Boss Gai?" ”

I didn't know he was talking to the old wolf until the old wolf responded to him.

Then the old wolf said, "He is a god who looks like a mortal." ”

"But he looks like...... Very weak, as weak as mortals. ”

"Young man, if you have a short knowledge, don't judge others at will. He's so powerful that you can't imagine it. ”

I rubbed my ears on the conversation between the two of them, and it didn't take long for the whole person to fall asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long I slept, but my heart suddenly tightened, and I sat up from the bunk with a snort.

When I first got up, the person was still wooden, and it took me a little to come back to my senses, and I was awakened by the screams coming from outside the house.
