Chapter 5: Enter Desperate Town
By the time it was dark, Wren had already gotten up and started to get ready. Time was of the essence and had to save time.
When everything was ready, Wren crashed most of the supplies into the wheelbarrow, including Rena, and handed the rest of the bits and pieces to Bluebell.
In this way, the three of them hurried towards the east without stopping.
Black Rock Town.
Those who survived the explosion ransacked the town of Black Rock, and fresh water and fuel became the targets of a new round of fighting. However, in the midst of the chaos, a terrible change is quietly opening.
The tin chariot had already stepped on the billowing smoke and marched towards the Eastern Road.
No one has ever crossed the cliff to the east since the history of this land. Before the Great Tribulation, no one knew what existed in the East; And after the catastrophe, everything in the East became more mysterious and unknown.
According to the original plan, Pan Fatzi and the three planned to rob the basement of Black Rock Town, and then galloped south. It is said that there is a pass there, and you can barely pass through the cliff. Unexpectedly, a violent explosion actually blew up a road to the east.
"Peter, sing with me. Canyon, canyon, bath, bath. Pan Fat Man danced in the cockpit.
"Shut up!" The roar of Iwayama was heard from the back compartment.
It has to be said that Quinta and Iwayama are like two monsters, and the healing power of their bodies is terrifying. Ordinary people can basically wait for death with peace of mind after such a heavy injury, and the two of them have stabilized their injuries after just half a day. Of course, the powerful effect of drugs is not ruled out.
Fat is not only an engineer, but also a good doctor. To survive in troubled times, the profession of doctor is extremely scarce. Otherwise, Pan Fatzi would not be easily forgiven.
However, the tin battlefield crawled on the rugged mountain road for half a day, and there was never a shadow of canyons and rivers. Just as the fat man was lost, the car finally drove down the mountain road.
A small town sits in a mountain col, empty and seemingly lifeless.
Black Plains.
The three Bluebells finally walked out of the scorched forest, but the black earth beneath their feet still had no end. The sun was already setting in the west, and there was not much time left for them.
"Bluebell, thank you." Rena sat on the wheelbarrow with a reluctant smile on her pale face.
"You're welcome." Bluebell's face was slightly red, and he lowered his head.
"But...... If it's really too late, you'd better go by yourself. Rena brushed the messy hair on her forehead, stared into the distance and sighed.
Wren had been silent, but at the moment there was a hint of pain on his face.
"No...... I won't. Bluebell looked up at Rena's face, and the warmth in her heart never stopped. I don't know why, he just wanted to be with Rena, even if he just looked at her quietly like this.
Rena was about to say something, but was stopped by Wren, and there seemed to be movement ahead. The hound Black Bey barked incessantly in front of him.
"Scavengers?" Wren whispered.
At this time, Bluebell clearly felt that something was gradually surrounding them. The long knife behind his back was slowly drawn out, like a calm hunter.
"Protect Rena." Bluebell's eyes lit up and he whispered to Wren. He already smelled something familiar.
Gradually, some ragged crowds appeared in the sight of the trio. Outwardly, these people have detached themselves from the category of human beings.
Their bodies resemble charred dead tree trunks, and their cracked skin is furrowed, and a cloudy liquid flows out of it, giving off a pungent smell. What makes people shudder is that their facial features have condensed, leaving only a black hole in the mouth, flowing with greedy saliva.
"What the hell is this?" Wren was about to touch the shotgun, but was stopped by Bluebell.
"Leave it to me." Blue Bell sniffed the scent of Rahu's son from these monsters, and her expression became more cautious.
In the blink of an eye, those weirdos got faster and faster, and pounced on the three of them.
Like a civet cat in distress, Blue Bell arched his body, jumped high with a flash, and then fell with a knife in his hand, and the head of one of the monsters had already landed.
Wren was just as quick to act, smashing the head of a monster with a single shot.
"It doesn't seem too difficult to deal with."
However, Wren was shocked when he saw the mutilated tattoo pattern on the corpse.
"They're from Black Rock."
At this time, Bluebell had already cut down seven or eight monsters, which were almost ineffective compared to the terrible son of Rahu.
Looking at the sun setting in the west, Wren looked at Rena with hesitation in his eyes: "Do you want to fight?" ”
"It's too late, let's go!" Rena sees the bluebell, covered in blood and slashing down the last monster.
At this point, Wren suddenly reoriented the wheelbarrow and shouted at Bluebell, "Follow us!" ”
Seeing this scene, Bluebell frowned slightly, looked up at the sun, and then at the direction of the wheelbarrow. Only then did they realize that their original direction was not to the east, but to the southeast. So why did Wren and Rena suddenly change their route to the east?
Bluebell didn't have time to think about it and hurried after him.
Along the way, more and more monsters appear, but all of them are solved by Bluebell. And for some reason, the expression on Wren's face became more and more excited.
Finally, as the sun set, the three of them successfully left the Black Plains. In the distance, a small town with smoke came into view.
"These villains have finally received retribution." Wren laughed excitedly.
Looking at the puzzled Bluebell, Rena looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, there are some things we haven't said. ”
The fog behind him was gradually rising, and Wren looked grim.
"Now is not the time to explain, and when we are in a safe place, we will explain clearly." Wren picked up the wheelbarrow and hurried in the direction of Black Rock.
And Blue Bell held the long knife in his hand, and his eyes flashed with an inexplicable look. It was only now that he realized that the route he had traveled gradually coincided with a certain stripe on the broken animal skin.
As night fell, the tin chariot drove into the town in the col.
Strange to say, the town, which was silent during the day, became lively at night.
"Fatty, use your brain to think about problems." After stopping the car, Quinta told again. But I don't know if it will have an effect, the fat man's style of acting is always jumping.
"It's weird." The fat man stared at the brightly lit town, frowning and pondering.
"Huh?" Iwayama's gaze wandered around the town, but he didn't find anything strange.
"Have you noticed that these houses don't have chimneys?"
Kunta and Iwayama looked at each other, their faces showing confusion as well. Although most of the human settlements were destroyed in the midst of rage and catastrophe, for as long as they can remember, all the towns they have seen have been billowing in smoke at night, one of the most basic signs of human civilization.
"Perhaps, they cook in a special way?" Quinta shrugged, a little disapproving. But at this time, there was a rumbling in the belly.
"Don't forget, this is the East. In short, caution is better. Bring the guy inside. Iwayama struggled to move his body and pulled out a flamethrower filled with fuel.
However, when the tin chariot slowly drove into the gate of the town, the noise in the town came to an abrupt end, and the lights that were as bright as day suddenly went out, and the whole town returned to dead silence, as if it had never been seen before.
