The rain was pouring and the wind was howling.

In the middle of the night, there was silence on the ruins of the invisible city, except for the sound of the wind coming and going in the wilderness. At the end of the ruins, barren mountains stand like towering barriers. The strange shape of the megalithic buildings at the foot of the mountain is chaotic, all of which are the work of those fish-man monsters. From time to time, bursts of gray-black mist rose from above, filthy and vicious, like a tide, and gradually flowed towards the ground.

On the fortieth day of the survival trial, everyone left the shelter for a while, climbed over the mountains occupied by fish-man monsters, and quietly reached the edge of the ruins of the city.

In the wind and rain stood countless dilapidated and old buildings, which spread down the slope to the end of the horizon. Visibility gradually decreases from front to back, and there is no clear outline of things from a few tens of meters away, and the land is dark and claustrophobic, cold, and dead silent, and the fear of unknown creatures makes people shudder.

"I can already see the prototype of the Desolate Ghost Domain, and it stands to reason that there should be qualified people who will come back during this time. Under a low eaves on the edge of the town, Ivan raised his eyes and looked ahead, but his eyes seemed to have passed through the dark and dreary wind and rain, and he saw a far away, and his voice carried a certain emptiness.

"In this case, what if someone crosses over?" the seal glanced at the bare ground around him and folded his shoulders, "They can't drain the sea in the sky, it's just a few extra helpers." ”

"What if they knew the location of the submarine, how to drain the seawater, or even the source of the anomaly?" the white bear squinted at him and said in a contemptuous tone, "Don't underestimate the importance of intelligence, you stinky seal!"

"......" the seal was speechless by him.

"I remember the harbour was on the north side of town, so let's go now. Ignores their conversation, wraps his black raincoat tightly, and walks into the gray wind and rain first.

Seeing that he left the eaves sheltering from the rain first, everyone quickly adjusted their mentality and kept up with him. At this time, everyone was wearing a black cloak raincoat, which they had made themselves out of the tarpaulin of the shelter, wearing this raincoat not only waterproof, but also blending into the environment to conceal their figures.

One by one, one by one

Shrouded in a sea of blue sky, the earth was shrouded in a gray-black aura of death and silence. The rain was stormy, the rain cast a fog over the ground, and countless splashes were splashed in the field of vision, and the monotonous ruins stretched infinitely.

Crawling like ants, the crowd crawled through the messy and abandoned buildings, surrounded only by endless ruins and scattered sea creatures. These marine creatures are generally small in size and only in small groups, which is no longer enough to pose a threat to humans. The reason for this phenomenon is that the larger the sea creatures, the more they need a lot of food to replenish their strength, so they are most likely to die of famine. And the smaller the animal, the easier it is to survive, just like the rat is difficult to kill.

Aside from the sea creatures, the only opponents they encounter are fish-man monsters, but these monsters also suffer from famine, and most of them are so hungry that they are skinny. Detached from industry and agriculture, and devastated by marine life, the 'population' that can be carried by invisible cities is already very low.

However, in the process, a haze gradually rose in Ivan's heart, because the ruins of the city were too far in space, and they were too close to the desolate ghost domain. He always felt that there was something strange about those shadowy abandoned buildings, and it was likely that an unknown ghost would suddenly emerge and drag everyone into a bitter battle.

"A key question suddenly came to my mind!"

As if realizing something, the seal's expression became grim, and he lowered his voice as quickly as he could, "It seems that not all humans become fish-man monsters when they are polluted, right?! It's like Rarity, she's obviously a little more advanced than the fish-people, and judging by the way she looked at the time, isn't that what we call a ghost!"

"It's obvious, don't you understand until now?" Erica stroked her forehead with one hand, looking at him with an eye that couldn't look directly.

"That's not what I meant!"

The seal quickly sorted out his thoughts and said eagerly:

"And what about the others? Have all of them become fish-people? There are so many people in the city, and it's likely that some of them have been eroded into monsters like Rarity. It has even become a higher-level thing, just like the gluttonous monsters that the cannibal flower and the eye demon encountered in the ghost realm!"

"yes, that's what happened, so we're scared. Erica nodded in understanding.

"Ugh. ”

The seal was visibly stunned for a moment, then looked at everyone in surprise: "You all know. ”

"Don't worry, it's not your fault that you're sluggish, it's our negligence. If we knew you were only starting to worry about it now, we should have told you in advance. The white bear put on a look of pity and said in a mocking tone.

"Seriously, I'm glad you took that into account. ”

At this time, Evan also turned around, looked at him with a solemn expression, and then patted him on the shoulder: "However, you are probably the last person here to know about this." ”

"......" the seal closed his mouth blankly.

"Like you said, it's likely that there are a lot of goblins lurking here, but for some reason they didn't show up. Evan took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, and his pupils immediately narrowed into a pinpoint:

"I think it's probably daylight! It's one o'clock in the afternoon, and before six o'clock in the afternoon at the latest, and even if there is a submarine in the harbor, we must first find a safe place to hide.

One by one, one by one

Three hours later, the crowd finally arrived at the harbor.

They had witnessed a miraculous spectacle, a majestic harbour emerging from the ruins of an empty and desolate town, as if it had been completely invisible until then.

The crowd stepped onto the harbor as fast as they could, and on the embankment, waves of sea water lapped against the masonry, and groups of masonry formed a strong flood wall. White sprays rose from under the wall, and as the waves dispersed, countless elite water droplets splashed to the ground.

"I hope there's a submarine here. ”

Evan took a breath and walked to the edge of the harbor in the wind and rain, looked at the berths by the sea, and found only a few rusty ships.

There was an obscurity between heaven and earth, as if the next moment, this harbor would be swallowed up by darkness.

After a long time, the seal took a deep breath and muttered:

"There are only a few broken ships, and the city can't afford something as high-end as a submarine. ”
