It's not easy to traverse the Lost City at such a time, and turtledoves and bugs must always be on the lookout for possible "invisible hunters", and while those guys are currently struggling with the "elite squad", who knows if one or two will suddenly pop up from their side.

Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, and it is better to be cautious in everything.

So, as before, the more observant worm walked ahead, and the turtledove followed her closely, and the two men pressed against the walls of the ruins, one after the other, so as not to alarm any possible danger.

God knows if there is only such an "invisible hunter" in this forest, and maybe there are other more powerful test subjects, in case they are attracted by the movement on the side of the Lost City, anyway, the turtledove and the little worm don't want to be like these people in the vulture castle, and they will fall into bad luck for no reason.

Without further ado, after a not-so-long journey, the worm saw a camp on the edge of the ruins of the Lost City from a distance, and it was quite large, and it could be seen that the people who had found the Lost City really wanted to settle here, and all the houses were built very strongly, all of them were wooden and stone houses.

According to the notes, they lived well in the Lost City until an earthquake struck here, and strange things began to happen one after another, and the rest of the story is unknown, and the contents of the notes have become blurry and unrecognizable.

One thing is certain, however, that the so-called "strange things" must not be clear on paper, and everyone in this camp is likely to die in these "strange things".

"I'm a little nervous."

Before actually entering the camp, the worm suddenly shuddered.

"You're nervous now?" The turtledove had a joke on his face, "Why didn't you say you were nervous just now, I don't think you're nervous, you're obviously excited." ”

"Let you speak."

The little worm didn't expect the turtledove to know herself so well, she was really not nervous, but excited, why did the little worm feel excited, in fact, she didn't know very well, anyway, things related to adventure would make her feel excited, maybe the little worm was born to be an adventurer's material.

……

There was nothing of great interest in the camp, it was nothing more than tattered garbage, after all these years, things like those daily necessities must have long since become unusable, many houses were close to the edge of collapse, and the wooden doors were "creaking" in the breeze, and it seemed that the turtledoves and insects that came to visit were not very welcome.

"Did you notice anything wrong?"

As he walked, the insect suddenly turned to look at the turtledove next to him.

"Huh?"

The turtle dove was stunned by the little worm's question, how did he know that there was something wrong here, in fact, the turtle dove hadn't carefully observed the surrounding situation, according to past experience, anyway, there was no obstacle for him to observe or not, because the little worm would always find out the problem before him.

As a result, turtledoves have become accustomed to this identity and trust in the insect's keen observation ability.

"There isn't a single corpse here," the little worm simply stopped selling turtledoves, and said directly, "If everyone in this camp is dead, then their corpses, even if they are eaten by wild beasts, will always leave some bones and slag, how can there be any reason to gnaw away the bones." ”

The turtledove pondered the worm's words for a moment, and felt that she was right, as for the other things, let's listen to the worm again.

"Do you feel a sense of déjà vu in this scene?"

The next sentence of the insect inexplicably said to the turtledove's heart, he couldn't help but nodded, indeed since he walked into this camp, the turtledove had a faint feeling in his heart, he thought it was caused by the strange atmosphere here, now let's meet carefully, it doesn't seem to be like that.

"Sort of."

The turtledove looked around, and then blurted out three words:

"Dirt Ridge!"

……

At the beginning of Turtledove's adventure with the Worm, they had just left Mouse City and went to a place called "Grey Ridge", where there was once a town dedicated to providing coal for the new empire, but a fire reduced everything to ashes.

The dust drifts to the sky and falls back to the ground, making the Gray Ridge foggy all year round, with a high content of impurities in the air, and a gray "snowflake" covering the surface, from which the name "Gray Ridge" comes from.

After a period of digging deeper into the pit, Turtledove and Bug discover that Ash Ridge not only provided coal for the New Empire, but also built a secret research laboratory related to the "Apocalypse" project, and that the fire was used to cover up a serious leak.

Later, a group of displaced people from the wasteland came here, because there was no camp to build a camp and more convenient heating, they chose to camp in the mine that had not yet collapsed in the Gray Soil Ridge, but the good times did not last long, and the material that had penetrated into the ore vein water system many years ago leaked again, so everyone in the camp gradually became a terrifying "voice follower", and they are still wandering in the mine tunnel of the Gray Soil Ridge......

Every time he recalls this experience, Turtledove can't help but get goosebumps all over his body, he has really come into face-to-face contact with the Voice Follower, and he always remembers the disgusting appearance of the Voice Follower's face full of fleshy synapses.

It is for this reason that when he was in the underground research institute, Ikaruga learned that he might become an experimental subject under the effect of the "universal serum", and he desperately wanted to get antibiotics specifically for the "universal serum", in order not to become a follower, otherwise it would be better to die directly.

Looking at it now, there are many similarities between this camp in the Lost City and the camp in Grey Ridge.

Grey Ridge was formerly a town under the New Empire, and the Lost City was a settlement built by the New Empire; Grey Ridge was destroyed by a fire to cover up the truth, and Grey Ridge was destroyed by a disaster that is not yet known; There are still outcasts in the mines of Grey Ridge who have been affected and turned into test subjects for many years, and there are also various test subjects in the forests around the Lost City.

Taken together, this lost city is likely to be another copy of the "Gray Ridge Incident", but it seems to be different, and the specific situation depends on the further investigation of the worm and the turtledove to reach a conclusion.
