Chapter 10: Tornadoes

【Regional Quest Released】

There is no time limit for this mission, the location covers the entire island, and the dreambreakers can find a way out of the town to return to space.

After the mission was released, the expressions on everyone's faces were extremely complicated. Li Zeyan's first reaction after listening to the task was to order others to open their backpacks and check the materials they were carrying.

It's the same with Lu Qing's side, after Dai Shikai finished counting, he estimated: "Brother Qing, let's save some food with the things we bring, it is estimated that it will last for seven or eight days." Water is not a problem, but I didn't expect there to be a freshwater lake on this island. Dai Shikai turned his head and said.

They were located in a residential area near the lake on the edge of town. On the other side of the lake, there is a lush forest, but there is no ferry, so people cannot reach the other side for the time being.

"That should be about the same." Dong Lin zipped up his backpack, looked around and said, "Although this town is large, there are so many of us in the city, if we search, two or three days is enough to look through all the buildings here." ”

"Brother, have you listened carefully to the mission?" Dai Shikai patted him on the shoulder, turned around with Dong Lin, pointed in the direction of the south of the town, and said, "Do you see that mountain?" ”

"Space says that the mission location is the entire island, which means that this town is just a part of it." Qing Shui walked over and said to them: "Our team's supplies can only last for almost a week, there is no time limit for this mission, plus the forests and back mountains around the island, I'm afraid I can't search them all in a month." ”

Qing Shui's eyes were full of worry, as did the others.

After all, this is the last mission of Lu Qing and the others, and among all of them, there are as many as four Dream Breakers who have completed nine missions, plus Shan Hongwei in the first district, the difficulty can be imagined.

"We have to hurry up and search for supplies." Xu Zhen stepped forward and said, "Although this town has been deserted, I think there should be some canned food in the supermarket or residence for emergencies." ”

His proposal was approved by everyone, and Li Zeyan suggested that there was a convenience supermarket near the place where they had just been teleported.

"Brother Qing, what are you looking at?" Dai Shikai noticed that when the others were discussing, Lu Qing had been silent, carrying them behind their backs, as if he was looking at the direction of the back mountain just now in a daze.

"Look, there's a church over there." The direction of Lu Qing's finger was a Gothic church rising on a high slope.

Because of the topography, the church was built on a high ground in the south of the town, and the surface of the building is pale and gray, and it has been baptized by the years. Its sharp spire seems to penetrate the earthly world. The church stood alone, looking down on the silent town in front of it.

"I always felt that something was wrong." Lu Qing explained that almost all cathedrals in Europe, regardless of the architectural style, sit east and face west. The reason why it is facing east is because it is the direction of the holy city of Jerusalem. The orientation of the main entrance facing the west will allow the first rays of dawn to symbolically spill into the cathedral from the semi-domed room, and the afterglow of dusk will slowly disappear from the west façade of the cathedral.

It is conceivable that at seven o'clock in the morning, the dawn sun pours in from the east, and the entire chanting seat is like a glowing sun, staining the cathedral into an indescribable holy place. The designers used the gifts of nature to add a touch of sacred nature to the church.

"But this church, sitting south and facing north, doesn't shine much sunlight all year round." Lu Qing frowned: "There is a saying in Chinese feng shui: sitting in the north and facing the south, there is food and leisure, sitting in the south and facing the north, the gods can't live." It is said that such a homestead is unlucky. Although this is a foreign country, the designer should understand the truth of lighting, how can he commit such a big taboo? ”

"Brother Qing, from the beginning to the present, I have felt it." Dai Shikai said: "There is an extremely strange atmosphere in this town, I can't say what is wrong, I just feel that there seem to be countless pairs of evil eyes watching me in the dark. However, no matter where I went in this town, this ominous premonition lingered in my heart, and it was too evil. ”

Dai Shikai looked around and sighed: "I feel that both the ground under my feet and the air are filled with an evil aura, as well as this kind of palpitations that make people breathless...... I suspect that normal people who stay here for a long time will become abnormal. ”

"Well, this town is really weird. I'd like to investigate that church tomorrow. "For some reason, when he saw the church for the first time, what Lu Qing felt was not sacred and solemn, but ...... Evil.

Thinking of this, Lu Qing continued: "There is also the statue that exploded before, why did the people in the first district blow it up?" I think there must be something important behind this. ”

Dai Shikai listened to him patiently, sweat continued to slide down his forehead, he took out a tissue to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead, but the expression on his face was very unhappy. Lu Qing knew that he had always been afraid of heat, and when everyone was teleported, it was probably summer, the scorching sun was in the sky, and the asphalt road under his feet was smoking.

However, this is an island, and the air is humid while it is hot. The original eerie atmosphere and climate made everyone feel extremely depressed in their hearts.

Everyone walked around the town for several hours, and at this time, not only Dai Shikai, but also everyone else was tired enough.

At some point, the scorching sun overhead was already covered by a large dark cloud, and although it was not as hot as it had been at the beginning, the air was still humid and muggy, and it seemed to be a precursor to a storm.

"Damn, it's better not to blow this wind." Dai Shikai's expression became even more painful, and at this time, there were gusts of hot wind rolling up in the town, mixed with heat waves in the air, and he wanted to take off his clothes and jump into the river to take a bath.

Li Zeyan noticed that on the ground at his feet, the weeds were swinging wildly, the whirlwind was rolling up from the ground, and the mud and sand were rising upward. He looked up and saw a funnel-shaped cloud looming under the clouds, the whole sky was black-green, and the dark clouds rolled over, and the sound began to sound like a waterfall, then like the roar of a train or a jet plane.

The surrounding leaves were rolling and rattling, there were many withered yellow leaves floating on the surface of the lake, and the wind mixed with a lot of sand and dust, blowing everyone's eyes squinted.

"We're going to have to find a place to evacuate right away." Li Zeyan got up, his face was very ugly. Judging from his many years of experience in carrying out missions abroad, it is very unfortunate that everyone is here today.

It's an isolated island in the Atlantic Ocean, and it's summer.

"A tornado is coming." Li Zeyan quickly packed his luggage and said to the others: "Hurry away from the lake, in case you encounter a dragon absorbing water, it will be bad." ”

At this moment, dense and deep purple clouds appeared in the sky above everyone's heads, surging layer by layer like a large army, occasionally mixed with a flash of lightning. Everyone didn't dare to delay, Dong Lin remembered the church just now, and his eyes lit up: "Why don't we go there for refuge." ”

The well-preserved church looked like a fortified castle compared to the dilapidated houses on the side of the road.

"Nope." Lu Qing objected to his proposal at the first time, he always felt that the church was strange from beginning to end, and it was dangerous to stay there all night before the matter was clear.

"These residents should have basements in their homes." Cao Zijian's proposal was quickly rejected, and Li Zeyan believed that it would take time and energy to find a basement, and that the basement area would not be large enough to accommodate so many of them.

There is not much time left for them now, and they must find a suitable place immediately, otherwise when the tornado comes, everyone will do nothing, and there is a high risk of dying at the hands of bad weather.

"Then there's only the church!" The others chimed in: "There are many of us, all of us are gathered together, even if there are powerful ghosts, we can deal with it!" ”

However, Lu Qing never spoke, just looked around in silence, as if looking for other suitable places.

Becky understood what he was worried about, and she raised her voice and pointed to the east of the town, "There's an inn over there that would be a good place to take refuge. ”

"Little girl, are you sure? In case the house isn't sturdy and the tornado comes, we won't even have to run! Xie Long pinched his beard and asked with a pant.

"I'm sure. When I came here, I noticed that the material of the inn was different from the surroundings, and it was specially reinforced, so I thought it must have been specially designed to fight against disasters. Betsy was sure.

Shimizu believed in her ability to observe and analyze, so she said to the others, "Let's take refuge in the inn." ”
