Chapter Twenty-Three: Clear City
A ruined wall gradually appeared in front of us, and in front of the ruined wall was a trench nearly ten meters wide and three meters deep. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the middle of the city wall, I can still vaguely distinguish the word "Clear City" engraved on the wall, and the eyes of Saren and I are really a city! A city built underground!
From the outside, this clear city seems to have been destroyed by war, full of traces of gunpowder smoke and blood, but what about the bright lights inside?
I couldn't help but look at Saren, and at this time, Saren's chest was rising and falling violently! Her expression was very strange.
"What's wrong with you?"
Seeing her like this, I immediately became concerned.
"It's okay, it's okay. You see! They should have gone in, so let's go in too. ”
I looked where Saren was pointing, and saw a rope connecting the two ends of the trench. One end of the rope is fixed in front of our eyes, and the other end leads to the city gate.
Saren and I walked towards the rope and walked to the front of the trench. We looked into the trench, but the situation here was somewhat unexpected, there were no dead people in the pit, not even a single corpse. This sunny city should be in the foraging range of the Hate Formation, and it seems that it has completely erased the traces of war.
"I'll go first, you learn my movements."
Saren walked over to the rope, she climbed the rope on all fours, and Saren's movements at the start and finish were very concise and effective, it seemed that she must have been trained.
With Saren's help, I climbed over in imitation of hers, and I could feel that my movements were a bit immutable, but it was good to be able to get over.
Saren and I didn't stop for the slightest, and walked straight into the clear castle, which had no gates, and as soon as we entered the city, the temperature around the city rose sharply, and this temperature gave people a warm and comfortable feeling.
Now standing on the main road of the clear city, I am finally in the light I have just seen. The castle is lined with wooden buildings. There were lights in two or three windows in each building, but there was a dead silence with no sign of human presence.
The street in front of me was lined with street lights! That's right, streetlights! On both sides of the street are neatly lined with wooden poles, and on the wooden poles hang the lanterns that glow with yellow light!
What's even more incredible is that there are plaques hanging in front of the houses facing the street that can shine in various colors! Restaurants, hospitals, and tailor shops are located on both sides of the main street. This place is like an antique shopping street!
I tried turning off the flashlight, and now I don't have to rely on it at all.
"Here?"
I had a lot of questions, but I didn't know what specific questions to ask.
"Let's take a look around!"
Saren, who has always played the role of 100,000 whys in my heart, has no insight at this time.
Saren first came to a street lamp and looked up at the flickering lantern. This lantern is indeed not ordinary, the material of this lantern seems to be a transparent metal, and the light source inside is definitely not a candle.
The light source inside looks like countless glowing particles that are moving irregularly! If you listen closely, the lantern seems to be making a subtle crackling sound!
After observing the lamp for a while, Saren walked to a two-story wooden building with a glowing plaque. The three characters on the plaque are glowing with dark red, and each stroke of each of these three characters is an independent metal structure, which is also a restless point of light, and as for its red light, I visually believe that the metal is painted red.
The windows of the hall were open, and the inside was also bright, and there was a black-brown counter inside, and behind the counter was a medicine box full of small lattices. Outside, we can smell the smell of herbs.
Everything inside is arranged in a staggered manner, without a trace of clutter, which is incompatible with the dilapidated city walls outside the city!
Saren continued to walk into the city, shopping with beautiful women seemed to be the most relaxing moment of the day, I no longer had the energy to observe my surroundings, and now I wanted to relax.
But Saren didn't let up in the slightest, she kept observing everything around her, and her face was always thoughtful, and she stopped again in front of a house with a blue light on a plaque that said "Drinker". Saren looked down, it turned out that there was a bullet on the ground, could this be the mark left by Zhou Lu and Wang Twelve? The bullet was aimed at the "drinker" in the room.
"This bullet is from Zhoulu, let's go in and have a look."
With that, Saren and I walked into the room.
It is supposed to be a restaurant, and there are eight dining tables in the hall on the first floor, and there are two benches next to the table. But there's no one of them here!
"Let's go, go upstairs!"
Saren and I walked towards the stairs, and the crunch of stepping on the wooden stairs made me uncomfortable. On the second floor, there were five private rooms with lights on, and three rooms that looked like bedrooms were dark, and Saren and I checked them room by room, but there was still no one to be found.
Saren and I had no choice but to walk downstairs.
"Since Zhou Lu has left us a mark, let's wait here, we can still rest here."
Saren's thoughts coincided with mine.
We picked a random spot and sat down.
"What kind of place is this, who built a city here, and who will live in seclusion underground?"
I threw all the questions at Saren, and I thought Saren might have guessed in his mind.
"This place should have been built in the Tang Dynasty!"
Sure enough, Saren had the answer.
"Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties! The era in which Zhelemei lived and the Tang Dynasty was still a difference between the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty, this place turned out to be the Tang Dynasty, don't collapse our wooden house! ”
Although I said that I was afraid that the house would collapse, no matter how I looked at it, I felt that the quality of the building was very reliable.
"I'm also very curious, how can there be a Tang Dynasty city in this place. But no matter from the font of the plaque here or the characteristics of the building, this reveals a strong Tang Dynasty atmosphere. ”
"I mean, it always feels like some scene in Detective Conan! It seems that Japan's anti-Tang architecture is really similar to the defense! But what kind of people would live in this dark underground, they are hiding from the war? What's going on with these ever-bright lights? ”
The living facilities here are quite complete, and the living conditions seem to be good, but living in such a depressing environment, it won't take long for people to go crazy.
