Chapter 138: A Nest
Ethereal spirits are not undead, at least from the outsideβthat was Zhang Xiaowang's first thought. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Suspiciously, the two did not stop at the Garden Square, but only looked at the statue from a distance and walked around.
It turned out that there was really no need to go to the center of the square to take a closer look at the statue, because the image of the ethereal spirit was almost everywhere in the city, just as the dragon was in ancient Chinese palaces.
The purpose of the two of them was the Ethereal Spirit Tower, but fortunately, the tower was high enough to be seen from a long distance. You don't have to ask for directions, just follow the street in that direction. After bypassing two or three streets in a row, I gradually realized that something was wrong in the city. The inhabitants of the city seemed to be as lifeless as those queuing at the gates, their eyes numb and sluggish.
Whether it's a passerby or a guy or a boss in a roadside shop, whether it's a buyer or a seller, it's almost everyone. There was no hope or longing in their eyes, as if they were doing something mechanically on instinct. But it doesn't seem to be the walking dead yet.
Seeing that it was still far away from the Void Spirit Tower, Zhang Xiaowang quietly turned on the radar detection function of the divine weapon, and the scan showed that these Amos in front of him had no breath of alien life, nor did they have any other abnormalities, they were all normal physiological states. So how exactly do you explain this numbness and sluggish gaze? Zhang Xiaowang suddenly remembered some old Chinese photos he had seen on the Internet before, and most of the men with whips also had such a look in their eyes - could it be that this was caused by the lack of wisdom of the people?
After walking a little further, the man in front of an inn around the corner caught the attention of the two men. It was an armless Amo man, who looked to be about thirty years old, with brown hair disheveled. Of course, what attracted Zhang Xiaowang's attention was not only because the man was missing an arm and that messy hair, but because the man's face was full of anger, although his face was full of cynicism, but at least his eyes were bright.
The other party soon discovered that Zhang Xiaowang and Panda Jing were dressed differently from the Amo people, but they were just lazily looking up and down, and they didn't mean to greet them warmly.
Zhang Xiaowang and Panda Jing glanced at each other, understood each other, and walked towards the man with the broken arm together. walked all the way to the front of the man, and the other party didn't take the initiative to say hello, as if the customer was God, and there was no market here.
"Do you still have a room here?" Zhang Xiaowang spoke first.
The man leaned against the door frame and looked at the two of them for a while, and then replied lazily: "Yes, please come inside." Aji, come and lead the horse! β
An expressionless young man walked out of the side door, looked at Zhang Xiaowang and Panda Spirit, a touch of curiosity flew in his eyes, but it was fleeting, and then took the reins from the two of them without saying a word, and led him to the backyard from the side door.
Zhang Xiaowang only felt a chill on his back spine, these Amos ...... It's even more terrifying than the undead in the haunted space!
Walking into the lobby of the hotel, there is a living room, with five or six tables on one side of the window, apparently serving food. The two walked to the counter with the man with the broken arm to register, and then the other party took the initiative to ask, "Are the two from a foreign country?" β
Zhang Xiaowang nodded: "Ah, from the south." What do you call it? β
"Just call me Ahsan." The man with the broken arm looked up at the two of them, "From the south?" The accent doesn't sound like that. β
This time, Zhang Xiaowang was already prepared, and replied casually: "I came from the mountains in the south, I stayed in the mountains all the year round, and I didn't communicate much with the outside, and I still heard your accent weird." β
Ahsan lowered his head to write, muttering, "Oh, no wonder......" Halfway through speaking, he suddenly raised his head, and his eyes emitted a strange light, "You are from the southern mountains?" β
Zhang Xiaowang was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, did he miss it again? No, I've just seen the monitoring footage of the Warak particle probe, and there is definitely a mountain in the south, and there is definitely a small village of thousands of people in the depths of that mountain. After thinking about it, I didn't know why the other party was so shocked, so I had to hold on: "Yes, is there any problem?" β
"Nothing, nothing." Ah San's gaze crossed the two, looked at the door and out of the window, and then lowered his head to quickly write the check-in form, and handed over a black iron key, "The third floor, the innermost room on the right-hand side, where the scenery is the best, you can overlook most of the Youtian City." β
Zhang Xiaowang stretched out his hand and took the key: "Okay, thank you for arranging." β
The two turned around and walked upstairs, but when they reached the staircase, they heard Ah Sang shouting behind them: "Two guests, we have food in the store, just greet me if you need it." β
Zhang Xiaowang turned his head to look at him, and found that Ah San's eyes were obviously a little excited, and there were obviously other meanings in his words just now, but the other party did not make any further movements, and he was puzzled for a while, so he could only nod silently and turn around with the panda spirit and go upstairs.
The staircase is revolving, and the stone walls on both sides are full of traces of time, and several candlesticks hang from them, and the candles emit a faint light. It wasn't until I got to the corridor on the third floor that the light was a little better, but it was as cold as the stairwell. Walking to the door at the end of the room on the right-hand side, Zhang Xiao looked around, there was a wooden roof beam above his head, according to the thickness of the roof beam, it was obvious that the hotel was three floors highest, and there could be an attic or something at most. Judging by the spacing of the doors in the hallway, Ahsan seemed to have given himself the largest room in the hotel.
I took out the key to open the door and entered, and a slight musty smell suddenly hit my nose. Fortunately, the windows in this room are large enough, at least not as cold as in the stairs and corridors, and the lighting is much better. The panda spirit frowned and sniffled: "It seems that there are not many guests here." β
Zhang Xiaowangjing walked to the nearest window, the window was a wood-framed glass window, it seemed that the Amo people were already able to burn glass. Looking out of the buttressed window by the railing, the three-story building is an ordinary village house in the new countryside of China, but it is already standing out from the crowd in Youtian City. Ahsan was right, standing here was enough to overlook most of the city. Moreover, I don't know whether Ah Sang was intentional or unintentional, the window in front of Zhang Xiaowang was just opposite the palace in the distance, and the royal palace and several surrounding void spirit towers were all in his eyes.
Seeing that he was distracted in front of the window, the panda leaned over and said, "That Ahsan, there seems to be something wrong." β
Zhang Xiaowang pointed down to the street: "Look." β
Standing in front of the window and looking down, you can see the pedestrians on the street. The panda poked his head to look at it, and there were more and more question marks on his head: "What's wrong with these people, why are they either like dead or mournful." β
Zhang Xiaowang squeezed out a wry smile: "I'm a little immature little idea." β
The panda spirit took his head back: "Tell me, while your IQ is still online." β
Zhang Xiaowang waved his hand and turned on the scanning radar of the divine weapon again, and the scan showed that there were only four people on the first floor of the entire hotel, except for him and Panda Spirit, there were no other guests. Although the small number of guests in this hotel is a bit suspicious, at least there is no need to worry about the ears of the partition wall.
Zhang Xiaowang said: "How many people's mood will be affected by 10,000 children? With 10,000 children a year, how many families can escape? β
The panda spirit counted with his fingers, and his eyes widened and widened: "I'll go...... No wonder the streets are full of people ......"
10,000 children, counting only immediate family members, parents, grandparents, grandparents, even if they don't count uncles and aunts, will radiate to at least 60,000 people. 600,000 in 10 years, 1,200,000 in 20 years...... How many people can there be in the entire Heavenly City?
The panda spirit was about to say something, but Zhang Xiaowang suddenly made a silent gesture and said in a low voice: "Ah Sang is coming up soon." β
The panda spirit listened attentively, and his spiritual power was enough to make him sense Ah San's location: "It's obviously still on the first floor." β
Zhang Xiaowang smiled: "According to the plot routine, he is about to come up." Do you think my dozens of starting point online articles were read in vain? Is that the starting point a novel network? That's a crash course in traversing! β
Sure enough, on the Divine Weapon Radar, the red dot representing Ahsan suddenly began to move towards the stairs...... A moment later, there was a knock at the door.
