However, an hour passed, and the probe still did not find a single figure in the town. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Brother Captain, it seems that there is really no one in this town." After investigating for so long, Atlas finally couldn't help but speak.

At this time, even Zhou Xin basically believed Atlas's judgment, and he felt a little disappointed in his heart, but another question came out of his mouth, "How is the progress of the probe investigation, how many places in this town have been investigated?" ”

"Basically everything close to the ground has been checked." Atlas replied, "A few high-rise buildings have been visited by probes on top of them, but they haven't found a single figure. ”

Sighing, Zhou Xin said with a disappointed tone, "It seems that there is indeed no one in this town." Then his tone became puzzled again, "But why would a town so intact be abandoned?" ”

"Maybe it's because of the environment." Spred guessed, "The town is surrounded by toxic substances, and this town must not be suitable for people, and it is normal for the people inside to move out." ”

"What are they doing here when they know there is such a big pollution here?" Dart retorted.

"Maybe the pollution came after the town was repaired?" Spred added.

Hearing Spred's explanation, Zhou Xin shook his head, "Looking at the appearance of this town, it is obvious that it was built recently, and it is impossible for such a serious pollution to be formed recently, so why build a vacant town in such a heavily polluted place, what do they think?" ”

There were many ideas about why this town was built in such a place, but after a long discussion, they could not come to an accurate conclusion, and many people were immediately confused. At this time, Atlas spoke.

"Actually, in the process of probes, people still found a lot of strange places in this town." After saying this, she paused, and then went on to explain, "The street is so clean, as if someone has cleaned it, this person will not go into details. In addition, when the probe investigated the interior of the building, it was found that all the doors inside were locked. ”

"All locked?" Zhou Xin was a little puzzled, "It's not impossible." ”

"What if not only were the doors locked, but the furnishings inside were neat and tidy, and there were signs of a single occupant?" Atlas continued, as he spoke, a new image appeared on the screen.

This is a photograph of the interior of the room, and from the angle, it seems to have been taken from the window, where the curtains on either side of the window are still clearly hanging. Looking inward, everyone could see that the shape of the room was close to a square, with an area of about twenty square meters. Directly below the window lay a bed that was not long, but quite wide, and judging by the size of the civilized creature, it should have been a double bed, and the bed was neatly stacked with pillows and bedding and other things, which, judging by the scattered folds, seemed to have been used not so long ago. Not far from the head of the bed, there is a desk more than two meters long, on which are placed several notebooks and a standing upright, like a display screen, in addition to some gadgets neatly placed on it. A little further past the desk was a tall shelf, and there were some things on the shelf. Connected to the shelves was a cabinet, but at this time the cabinet was closed, and everyone did not know what was inside. In the past, there was a hanger in the corner of the room, on which hung a coat that Zhou Xin thought was an ancient style and a slightly gray color.

After talking about the arrangement of the wall opposite the head of the bed, let's talk about the end of the bed. The arrangement on this side is even simpler, there is nothing against the wall, and a simple painting is hung on the wall. This hanging painting is very large, occupying almost half of the length of this wall, and there are three busts painted side by side, looking at the facial characteristics of the three of them, it is a very typical image of Mu mainland people. Moreover, although it is a secondary painting, it is very delicately printed, and the three people depicted on it are almost exactly the same, and it looks like the one taken in the photograph. In addition to this painting, there is a small door next to the painting, which appears to lead to the next room.

As for the wall facing the window, it was even simpler, and all they could see was a lone door to the right of the wall. According to Atlas, this door is the exit of the room, and the detector wanted to enter the room through the door to investigate, but unfortunately the door was locked from the inside, so it had to choose to look inside from the window.

Atlas then changed a few more shots of the interior of the other rooms that the detector had captured. However, except for a slight shift in the furnishings, these rooms are basically the same. In addition to the busts seen before, there are also some landscape paintings and the like, but this kind of portrait is very rough to make, and Zhou Xin can see that the scenery on the painting has obvious and unnatural distortion.

What made Zhou Xin feel strange was that in some of the rooms, although they looked very neat, they could clearly distinguish the traces of people's lives, the slightly messy beds, the quilts were not neatly folded, and Zhou Xin even saw an obvious humanoid mark on the sheets of one of the beds. As Atlas put more and more images on the screen, Zhou Xin saw more and more evidence of human activity.

"It's strange, why are there so many traces of life." After looking at the images of more than a dozen rooms, Zhou Xin asked suspiciously.

"That's why people think it's strange." Atlas then spoke, "And people have found that there are many traces of life that cannot be preserved for a long time, which means that these rooms have been occupied in the last few days." ”

"And where are all the people here?" Zhou Xin looked puzzled, "Can everyone really disappear overnight?" ”

"Do you mean?" Dart speculated thoughtfully, "Did the pollution really come overnight?" In order to avoid the sudden pollution, the whole town retreated in a short period of time? ”

"It doesn't make sense." "If that's the case, how did those mutated animals around town come from?" It's not possible for them to all mutate overnight. ”

"Maybe the creatures came first, and then the pollutants came with them." Dart was clearly a bit of a strong argument.

"It's impossible." Even Zhou Xin felt that Dart's idea was too unreliable, "If this is really the reason, the room will be so neat in a hurry?" It's definitely a lot messier than what we're seeing right now. Staring at the more than a dozen pictures of the interior of the rooms displayed on the screen at the same time, Zhou Xin continued, "These rooms have obviously been cleaned up, which shows that the people in the town were very calm when they left, as for the reason for leaving-" Zhou Xin shook his head, "I can't guess either." ”

"Brother Captain." At this time, Atlas's voice rang out, "The probe has inspected the tallest building in the town, and it is one hundred and seventy-three floors." Except for those rooms with closed curtains, there was really no one in the rooms that could be seen inside, and people estimated that this building alone could accommodate more than 5,000 people. This is still counted as one person living in each house, and if there is more than one person, there are more people who can live in it. ”

"More than five thousand?!" Zhou Xin's tone was a little surprised, and then he asked, "Are all the houses in here the same?" ”

"It's all the same shape inside." Atlas replied, "Except for a slight change in the arrangement of the furniture according to personal preference, there is basically no difference in the rest. Then she added, "And there are signs of recent activity in many of the rooms, and judging by the dust on the windows, most of the rooms in this building were still occupied at least three days ago." ”

"Three days ago—?" Zhou Xin fell into thought, and after a while, he said to himself, "In other words, the people in the town should have left within three days, what happened in the past few days?" Why did the whole town leave together? ”

Hearing Zhou Xin's words, everyone thought about it, and after a while, Dart hesitated and said: "If you want to say that within three days, it can only be the war between the two sides the day before yesterday, can it be said that they will leave the town for this reason?" ”

"It's not impossible." Hearing Dart's words, Zhou Xin also connected the two things, he replied thoughtfully, thought for a while, and asked, "Atlas, where is the specific place where the probe landed in the Mu Continent, close to the place where the two sides fought before?" ”

"It's kind of close." Atlas gave the answer at once, and at the same time, the screen switched to the entire planet, and on the map, Atlas marked the place where the two sides fought fiercely and the location of the town. Zhou Xin saw that this town was just close to a corner of the mainland, and the end of this corner was the closest place on the continent to the previous battle position between the two sides, if there were no other settlements near the town, then this town would be the closest to the battlefield. At the first glance of the location marked on the map, Zhou Xin felt that this idea was correct.

"It seems likely that this is the case." Zhou Xin blurted out, "Although it is said that this town is still far from the battlefield, if the fleet fighting in front fails, it will be this town that will bear the brunt, and it is not unreasonable if the people here are evacuated." ”

Dart nodded, "And the battle was originally initiated by them, and they can control the time of retreat, so the state of non-chaos we saw before can also be explained." ”

At this time, the screen cuts back to the town, and a wide avenue appears in front of the camera, and it seems that this should be the main road that runs through the entire town and extends outward from the high place. The first time he saw this road up close, Zhou Xin couldn't help but feel a sense of incongruity in his heart, and after a few seconds, he reacted to what this incongruous feeling was.

The roads that appear on the screen look very simple, with nothing but a few dividers on the pavement. That's right, it's nothing, it's not like a normal road at all, there are sidewalks, street trees on both sides, not to mention public facilities such as garbage cans, and even the street lights are installed directly on the exterior walls of the buildings on both sides of the road. Yes, there is no buffer on both sides of the road, it is directly adjacent to the building, not even a fence, and you can directly see the corridor and the windows on the first floor when you stand on the road. The dividing line on the road only divides the road into several roads equally, and it is not even recognizable in the direction of going in the opposite direction. The only thing that caught the eye was the occasional gate or two on the walls of the buildings on either side of the road, and directly above the gate hung a sign with a lettering on it, which looked like a shop, but now all of them were closed and there was no one.

"This way—" After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Xin spoke.

"It doesn't look like a road, it's like a super long square." Dart voiced his feelings.

"What is such a wide road for?" Zhou Xin was a little puzzled, "It's a little wide to leave, if you use transportation, such a simple road-"

"What do you want to do so much?" Spred suddenly remembered, "Aren't the two aliens on the spaceship from this continent, just ask them over and see." ”

Under Spred's reminder, Zhou Xin finally remembered the Aina siblings, and then he contacted Christy and asked her to bring the siblings to the command module.

Ten minutes later, Christy arrived at the command module with the two little ones. The first time they came to such a place, both of them looked a little excited, they were both staring around curiously, and if it weren't for Christy pulling it, Blue would have been running around in the command cabin.

"Is there something wrong with me bringing them here?" Christy asked curiously, grabbing Blue's hand.

"It's nothing, it's just a matter of asking them a few questions." Zhou Xin shook his head and replied.

"Is there anything Uncle Captain wants to ask us?" Hearing Zhou Xin's words, Aina stopped looking around, she turned her head in Zhou Xin's direction and asked with the same curiosity.

"Come and see this." Seeing that the little girl's attention had been focused on herself, Zhou Xin pointed to the picture on the screen......
