Chapter Eighty-Six: See the Survivors Again
Climbing down the rope, Carl patted the dust off his body, and as a person with a slight cleanliness habit, he didn't allow such a dirty body.
After the little girl Ellie came down, she immediately rushed towards her sister, as if she had been separated from each other for more than ten years. Erin also hugged her and whispered some reassuring words in her ear, knowing that her sister was timid and needed her protection.
"Boy, how do you act like you've just been through a world war? It's all dirty. Konstan looked Carl up and down with a look of surprise.
Karl's hands were stained with deep black paint and shiny. The clothes on his body were also a little damaged, and the paint-stained white shirt was cut several times, but fortunately it didn't hurt his body, which was a great blessing in misfortune, but now he looked like a handsome beggar.
And it's no wonder that Constance is so weird.
"Alas...... Not to mention, I almost couldn't come back, that ghost creature was terrifying, and the gray fluid not only had great power, but could even block bullets. Hearing this, Carl waved his hand and sighed, and a grim look appeared on his face.
He didn't say anything about the strange smile of the Virgin at him, because it was so appalling. I'm afraid that if I say it, I will only be questioned, and even regarded as an idiot.
Ghost smiling at you?
Are you kidding? Brothers?
Who do you think you are? Are you......
If you don't see it with your own eyes, I'm afraid everyone will treat it as nonsense, at most pay a little attention, unless many people have encountered it, otherwise it's useless to say it, wouldn't it be better to save time to improve yourself?
"Well, that's not a big deal, so don't mention it. Oh, by the way, once you're in the safe circle, you can walk around by yourself, and I'll need to report that a new type of ghost has appeared. Suddenly remembering something, Konstan patted his head and said.
Reporting new types of ghosts is a very important thing, whether it is for survivor organizations, ordinary people, or themselves, it is extremely important. Every time you report, that organization will record it, and then send someone to investigate the neighborhood, and once confirmed, in addition to getting a large number of material rewards, your name will also be printed on the ghost character atlas.
Under the harvest of goods and honor, almost all the survivors are like rats and rice, and they can't stop.
"Is that so? Oh, that's fine, I'm not a kid, I'll take care of everything. Carl looked confident, waved his hand and said.
Hearing this, Constance nodded, and then said, "Who will take care of these two little guys?" ”
He pointed to the two little girls who almost hugged each other and cried, Carl looked at them, to be fair to be very well-behaved, he had been with Ellie for a while, and he didn't feel any discomfort, so if he took care of the two, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Once decided, Karl opened his mouth and replied, "I'll take care of them, after all, you still have something to keep busy." I'm pretty casual and just go around the safety circle. ”
"Well, that's it."
"OK, no problem."
……
The place where the two of them came down just now was already on the edge of the factory area, and they had almost walked out of the old area. Some of the roads also seem to be smoother, and there is a world of difference in comparison.
Apparently, some survivors have organized manual removal of weeds from the roadside, as well as some smaller steel wreckage.
As for what the purpose is? Carl didn't take the time to look into it, and likewise, he wasn't interested.
"Boy, you see, we're almost there, too. When we see these big trees, it also means that we are close to the safety circle. Constance pointed to the red-shirted trees, and a sense of relief escaped.
Carl gave him a strange look and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"I finally don't have to worry about spending the night outside." Constance pointed to the sky and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's hard for you to imagine what a terrible thing it is to spend the night outside, it is said that the mortality rate is as high as seventy percent, which means that death is almost certain, especially in the old district, basically you will not see the sun tomorrow." ”
Karl frowned and said, "Is the old district so terrible at night? Your strength should be in the upper middle level among the survivors, right? ”
"Seventy percent is my survival rate, and others who are lower than me generally don't go to the safe circle from the old district, and they'd rather go a little farther than lose their lives." Constance said with a shrug.
"The old area is very weird at night, almost equivalent to some forbidden places, although it is far less terrible than the forbidden land, but ordinary people who stay there for one night are estimated to disappear forever in this world."
"I've heard from some survivors that the Old Quarter has some instantaneous hallucinogenic weirdness at night."
Carl frowned, puzzled, "Weird? ”
"Oh, it's the kind you encountered when you slept for more than five hours, and even if you escaped once, if you didn't escape the old district in a short time, then you would fall into a second nightmare." Constance said.
"I see...... Then it's no wonder. Karl suddenly understood that if it was really as Constance said, then the old district was really unapproachable.
I think that he slept for more than five hours because he didn't know it, but he was pulled into a strange space, tortured by those indescribable existences, and died twice before he got out of that nightmare.
According to Kiss's previous statement, if she is killed once in her dream, she will die forever, and it is no wonder that Constance would say that staying in the old district for a night will definitely die.
However, even so, Carl believed that even those inexplicable dreams could not kill him, according to his physical fitness, to really kill him, he must kill him more than forty times in a row in the dream, that is, in the dream realm, he is almost immortal, and as he gets stronger and stronger, his immortal body in the nightmare space will gradually become stronger.
Of course, he is no different from ordinary people in reality, as long as he is caught by ghosts, he will also be torn to pieces in an instant.
At the end of the day, it's important to be strong.
"It's still time...... Carl shook his head and sighed, he had a greater advantage than others, he had what others had, and he had what others didn't have.
However, these things take time to accumulate, especially by personal force, which is not something that can be achieved overnight.
"A few people over there will stop me, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Suddenly, a shout came from the front, and the two looked up, only to see seven or eight crooked-looking men blocking the road with knives, with a malicious attitude.
