Chapter 517: Another Batch of Visitors Years Ago
"What is this?"
The turtledove leaned over to the little worm and poked her head to see what she was holding.
Worm just found a deserter from the "Elite Squad" outside, she originally wanted to let the turtledove sneak attack from behind to solve it, who knew that the turtledove understood her meaning wrongly, and directly knocked the other party unconscious, although the process was different from the worm's arrangement, but the result was not much different.
Then the worm wanted to confiscate the other party's portable firearm, but found a pistol from the unconscious deserter brother, and there were no bullets, which made the worm very angry, but after searching, the worm found something very interesting from the other party's arms.
"It's a notebook," said the little wormhead to the turtledove without looking back, "you see, the age must be quite old, and it seems that these people in Vulture Castle are not wandering around the ruins in vain, they must have found quite a few things like this." ”
"What's so nice about this."
Turtledove didn't understand why Worm was so interested in a broken handwriting, and his main concern now was to eat, drink, and get a vehicle so that he could leave the eerie forest before he could find Schultz and Natalia.
The little insect didn't have the heart to say this and that to the turtledove again, she waved her hand at the turtledove, and told the turtledove to stand next to it, not to block the light, and the turtledove moved slightly to the side, but her eyes still fell on the notebook in the little worm's hand, in fact, the turtledove was still quite curious about the contents of this notebook.
The ordinary plastic shell, there are still traces of dirt that have not been cleaned up, although it has not yet been opened, but the worm estimates that the degree of preservation of this notebook should not be very good, it is very likely that the same as the one that Turtledove found on the ground before, the plastic shell is fine, but the paper inside has rotted clean.
Gently opened the plastic shell of the notebook, and after seeing clearly the preservation of the paper inside, the little worm couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, - these papers are indeed seriously decayed, and may turn into powder at any time, but isn't it not yet turned into powder, the handwriting on it is blurry a little, but it has not yet reached the point of being completely illegible.
"What is written?"
Seeing this, the turtledove once again put its head next to the little worm's shoulder, and the little worm wanted to squeeze the turtledove over, but it seemed to be attracted by what was written in the note, so he simply ignored the turtledove with its head sticking out.
Since it was not properly kept, it was actually difficult to turn the pages of the notebook, all the paper was almost all glued together, and it was likely to fall apart if touched, and the worm had to make his every movement carefully, for fear that the action would be too big to break it.
Rao is like this, the first two pages were still turned over by the worm, of course, this is also to blame her, the worm has been very careful, the two pages were finally torn with a "bang", and they were immediately broken into seven or eight pieces.
It's a good thing, these papers are already very yellowed, and the handwriting on them can't be seen clearly if you don't look carefully, and now they're broken like this, and it takes a lot of time to put them together anyway.
"If it's broken, it's broken," the worm looked quite open-minded, "The first two pages probably won't record any important information, you see here, oh?" It turns out that we are not the first to find this lost city. ”
……
Through reading, the worm discovers that there has been another group of people who have found the Lost City, and this notebook belongs to one of these people, who originally lived near the oasis and later entered the Wasteland for unknown reasons, and after a sandstorm, these people found the Lost City in the depths of the forest.
Most of the middle paragraph is blurred to the point of being unrecognizable, and with the two pages that have been turned over in front of it, the content obtained by the worm is intermittent, only the general context is relatively clear, and there is no way to restore the specific details.
It's no wonder that this notebook is not the same as the one found by the turtledove before, the one that the turtledove found was left behind at the beginning of the construction of this lost city, and I don't know how many years have passed, and the year that the worm found from this deserter is relatively recent, otherwise it is also buried in the soil, and it is impossible for this book not to be more well preserved.
All in all, the owner of the notebook in the Worm's hand and his companions, after finding the Lost City, began to think of a way to settle here.
Not like the lawless, if nothing else, the water is plentiful, inexhaustible, and that alone is enough to attract them to settle here, and it doesn't take long for them to settle in the lost city because of the fact that it is located in a forest and surrounded by countless pieces of timber that can be used to build camps.
What caught the attention of the insect was the description of the forest in the next paragraph, the owner of the note said that the forest was quiet and peaceful, and although there were some fierce beasts living in the forest, it did not cause much trouble to everyone, and as long as they did not go out alone, those fierce beasts usually did not take the initiative to attack humans.
"Quiet and peaceful?"
The little worm didn't know if she couldn't understand the meaning of these four words, or if she was skeptical about the four words used to describe this forest, but she did read this passage a few more times, and finally just shook her head and continued reading.
Then he mentions the swamp in the middle of the forest, but unfortunately the paper on which this passage is recorded is badly damaged, and the handwriting on it is not at all illegible, but it is certain that this passage is quite rich, and occupies two pages on the front and back of both pages.
Later, the notes became more and more damaged, and the content was less and less recognizable, and the worm only found a record of a small earthquake that caused a massive collapse of the ruins of the Lost City, and the Lost City, where some of the buildings still remained, was completely in ruins after that earthquake.
Thankfully, they didn't build their camp in the middle of the ruins of the Lost City, but chose to stay a little further away from the Lost City, so their camp wasn't too damaged by the earthquake.
But since the earthquake, the atmosphere in the lost city has suddenly become strange, and the forest is no longer "quiet and peaceful", everything seems to have changed.
……
These were the only recognizable contents of the note, and when he closed the note, the worm's heart could not calm down for a long time.
