Jiang Luo stood at the edge of the light curtain, it was a transparent film of air, but it reflected faint ripples in the sunlight, just like the clear and calm water surface.

Although you can see the other side through it, it is all an "illusion", and once you step past it, you will find yourself in a terrifying nothingness, in the infinite mosaic space, you can only wait for death in silence.

Through this layer of air wall, Jiang Luo could clearly see the scene on the opposite side, the branches of the trees crossed the light curtain, from this end to that end, it seemed that they were not affected by the light curtain.

Jiang Luo looked at the branches that had crossed the light curtain but were unharmed, and with an idea, he broke down a branch and slowly stretched out towards the light curtain. The branches passed through the light curtain as easily as they crossed the thin surface of a lake, and then the branches appeared on the other side of the light curtain without any anomalies. He grabbed another mutated rat and placed it behind the light curtain, and nothing unusual happened.

Could it be that the light curtain is failing? Or is the light curtain only effective for humans? No, Jiang Luo suddenly remembered the information he learned from staying in Lake City before, this light curtain should be something similar to an energy shield, otherwise the original giant locust tide would not have been completely blocked out of Lake City!

Jiang Luo carefully pressed his fingernails close to the light curtain, and the touch felt like calm water. He pressed his palm against the light curtain, and it didn't cause any changes.

First with one arm, then with the whole body, Jiang Luo easily passed through the light curtain and came to the opposite side. The woods on the other side of the curtain are exactly the same as those seen on the other side of the curtain. There is no void space, no mosaic, everything is real, and that light curtain is like a phantom.

Jiang Luo began to suspect that this layer of light curtain was not the same as the one he had seen at the beginning, but the coordinates and references around the light curtain were exactly the same, unless there was something wrong with his memory, otherwise he couldn't have gone to the wrong place!

But when he turned around, he found that the light curtain behind him had disappeared, as if it had never appeared, and the familiar place was still behind him, but the light curtain that had been on both sides before had disappeared.

The location of the light curtain is on the edge of Lake City, next to a forest with a city road in between. Although the light curtain was strange and unpredictable, Jiang Luo only thought about leaving Lake City, so he walked out along the signs on the city road.

When it was dark, Jiang Luo finally arrived at another city, which should be adjacent to Lake City, but it seemed to be more barren than Lake City. At the main entrance of the highway, there was a blue metal sign with paint peeling, Jiang Luo ripped off the dead vines and weeds covered with it, and a few corroded and crooked printed words made Jiang Luo stunned.

"Fifty meters ahead, Lake City East Toll Station."

Is this Lake City? Or Lake City?

Jiang Luo's face was full of incredulity, he obviously walked along the highway signs, and finally went back to the other side of Lake City. In other words, he walked on the forest road for a day, and actually just walked around Lake City! But the sign clearly says the distance to the next city in Lake City, unless someone changes the sign! But at the same time, changing all the traffic signs on the Lake City Highway, who will have the ability and leisure to do such a thing in the last days?

Jiang Luo's previous security zone was located in the eastern suburbs, and he was still familiar with the eastern area of Lake City, but it would definitely not be like this. The survivors of Lake City will go to the city during the day to look for resources, and it will definitely not be this kind of barren appearance, this "Lake City" looks like an abandoned city that has been abandoned for decades.

The cement pillars of the toll booth are crawling with vines and plants, and there are all kinds of mottled marks on the walls, I don't know if it is blood stains or oil stains, and several low buildings on the side have been pitch black, which should have been caused by fire. Jiang Luo judged from the few pitch-black tin cans that it should be a gas station, but it may have been due to explosions and fires.

The further he walked into the city, the more desolate he felt. Some of the low concrete walls are cracked, and the tiles on them fall to the ground like scales. Most of the windows of the slightly newer houses were shattered, and the hollow and dark windows looked like monster eyes in the dark night.

Silence, deathly silence. Jiang Luo walked on the cracked road, and could clearly hear the sound of himself stepping on the leaves.

"Click!"

Jiang Luo turned his head suddenly, pulled out his pistol and aimed it behind him, he just clearly felt that there was a "person" following him behind him.

But when I looked back, it was empty, and the cool breeze of the night blew the trees on the roadside, and the branches and leaves rustled.

But Jiang Luo believed in his senses, and in the process of using his flesh cone to absorb "qi" to feed himself, his abilities in all aspects had been improved, especially in terms of senses.

Something must be following behind you!

Maomao's moonlight shone on the houses on both sides of the street, reflecting Jiang Luo's tall and thin figure, but Jiang Luo felt that something was wrong.

No matter how he moved, his shadow would always appear on the wall, and according to the direction of the moonlight, it was impossible for the shadow to be parallel to himself!

He hurriedly walked away from the wall of the house on the side of the street, and the tall and thin figure was still standing there, as if he was surprised that Jiang Luo had suddenly discovered it.

It was a tall, thin black humanoid creature, it was strange, it looked like a shadow in the moonlight, but it was definitely not black, and when Jiang Luo stared at it, he could see its true face.

Its whole body was in a translucent state, but it had no face, and when Jiang Luo stared at his face, it had a very familiar feeling, this feeling was like the same kind.

But this is not possible at all, and humans will never be unable to possess such a form.

It stood by the wall, but it had no intention of attacking, and Jiang Luo could even feel the weak and helpless aura it emitted. Jiang Luo slowly put down the pistol, because of the ethereal thing like intuition, but Jiang Luo was willing to believe that it had no malicious intent.

The humanoid light group took a step forward, and then turned back and raised its transparent torso, as if guiding Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo followed the tall and thin figure through the deserted city, and came to an abandoned building, and through the mottled handwriting in front of the billboard, he could barely guess that this should have been a shopping mall before.

There was a dead silence all around, but there was a creaking sound inside the mall, like a shaking electric fan.

Could it be that there are people in it, or the same kind of thin and tall shadow people?

Judging from the signals it emitted, this tall, thin creature should not be some irrational creature. But Jiang Luo couldn't venture into it, he was about to turn to leave, only to find that his leg was grabbed by something - the tall and thin shadow man who had led him was kneeling on the ground, pulling himself with his blurred arms.

Even though it had no expression, Jiang Luo could feel the meaning of its pleading.

What's in there? Let this tall, lanky figure creature lure itself in and beg for itself to enter?

Jiang Luo tugged at it, but it refused to "let go".

When I opened the door of the building, there was not much dust, as if it was often used. Jiang Luo's eyesight was strengthened by the flesh cone and could barely use the faint light for night vision, and there were rows of empty iron rods and wooden cabinets on the first floor, but they were also dusty, and there were no superfluous items on the entire first floor.

Just when Jiang Luo wanted to go to the second floor, there was a creaking sound in the corner of the first floor, and then there was no sound, Jiang Luo went in the direction of the sound, and it could be seen through the sign on the iron door that this was a cold storage, and the sound just now came from here.

In the cold storage, there are a bunch of large plastic bags such as flour and rice on the ground, but they are all congealed into hard lumps, which should be stored for too long because they have deteriorated and are inedible. There was another door at the end of the utility room, and at this time, the creaking sound sounded again, and Jiang Luo took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

The sight is indescribable, absurd and bizarre. Under the steel beams, the hooks used to hang the pork hang from the "corpses" of the bodies.

When Jiang Luo walked in, he found that these corpses were not humans, but some kind of humanoid creatures that were very similar to humans, with a slender body, about two meters in size, a chaotic face, and a pitch-black body showing a translucent form. From a distance, it looks like a hanging figure. The tall thin shadow man who led the way revealed his grief and hope, Jiang Luo guessed that these hanging things were its kind, and it brought Jiang Luo here to save them!

But Jiang Luo couldn't do that, he couldn't help these inexplicable unknown creatures for no reason, who knew if they would backhand himself after being released! The same kind of people are not reliable, let alone these aliens!

But who hung these creatures up? Unless it is another human, this gesture looks like it was done by humans, although I don't know what abilities and characteristics this shadow-like thin and tall creature has, but it is certainly not a human opponent, and as far as the eye can see, there are at least a thousand thin and tall shadow people hanging here like dead pigs.

The tall and thin man who was close to Jiang Luo seemed to be aware of Jiang Luo's arrival, and he first revealed a feeling of fear and resentment, but after "observing" Jiang Luo for a while, he actually became happy and expectant.

Did it think it was going to save him? Jiang Luo didn't understand why it would reveal such strange emotions.

"Squeak"

The hook hooked at the place of its spine, dangling it in midair, and the slightest movement of it shook the hook above it to make a sound. But if it were a human, every slight movement would be unbearable pain, and this creature might not feel pain at all.

When Jiang Luo turned around to leave here, the thin and tall shadow man who was hanging became painful, and some kind of low sorrow sounded in Jiang Luo's ears, he patted his head and found that there was no sound around, it was just his auditory hallucination.

The tall and thin shadow man who led the way dragged Jiang Luo's leg like a black mud wrapped around his foot.

"Chirp"

Jiang Luo heard a low and mournful cry like a ghost crying again, this time it was not a sound source, but a sound tide, and almost all of the more than a thousand thin and tall shadowmen behind him were "crying", making Jiang Luo dizzy.

"I know you understand me, and I'm not going to help you anyway! You won't be hung here for no reason. ”

Jiang Luo broke away from the thin and tall shadow man who was grabbing him, "If you pester me again, I will beat you to death!" ”

He just wanted to get out of this strange place as soon as possible, those terrible silent ghost cries seemed to be able to pass through the air and reach his mind directly, I don't know if it was the creature's ability, or if it was a problem in his brain.

The thin and tall shadow man who was kicked away by him was stunned, and suddenly rushed towards Jiang Luo like crazy, Jiang Luo thought that it was angry and wanted to attack him, so he pulled out his pistol and shot it twice, hitting it in the abdomen and head.

In the dimly lit cold storage, Jiang Luo saw the splashed liquid, but he didn't expect that this shadow-like creature would also bleed.

But in the next second, Jiang Luo looked at the body of the thin tall shadow man lying on the ground and twitching, and froze.

It bleeds a large pool of blood after being shot, and its translucent shadow-like body gradually becomes "substantial" after losing blood, and it is more similar to a human at this time, except for its faceless face.

It can't be, it can't be!

Jiang Luo was a little uneasy to accept the scene in front of him, and the shadow people who were hanging became even more poignant after seeing their dead companions, and they also contained a kind of hatred!

Jiang Luo didn't have time to check what was going on with it, he just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.
