I don't know how big the city used to be.

Under the more and more fierce night rain, the four people of Turtledove, Worm, Landis and Bit walked for more than an hour, and still did not get out of the abandoned ruins, and as far as the eye could see, there were some broken walls and ruins around them, and the real city center was still far away.

There is such a large area in the fringe area alone, and the turtledove estimates that the total area of this city is definitely much larger than that of the mouse city, and maybe the two or three mouse cities together are not so large, which is also too exaggerated.

"Take a break."

It wasn't the turtle dove who said this, but the little worm walking next to him, in fact, don't look at the more than an hour of walking, three of the people in this group are strong men, and a little distance is not enough for them to feel tired, but the little worm is a girl, maybe she feels a little tired.

So Turtledove looked back at Landis and Bit, who were a little behind, and the two guys didn't seem tired at all, and they were still in good spirits, but since the little worm said to take a break, Rantis couldn't help but ask her if she couldn't walk.

"We've reached the edge of the city, and if you look at the buildings around us, the dilapidated ones are much lighter than before, so quickly find a place to rest and rest from the rain, and wait until dawn before moving on, after all, the road ahead is unknown, and it's safer to enter during the day than at night."

Worm is the only one in the team who has the talent of "Eagle Eye", she is not very affected by the darkness, the other three are not like this, no one knows what kind of situation awaits them in front of them, rather than recklessly rushing inside, recuperating and waiting until dawn to wait for the opportunity to enter, this is the safest.

After listening to the worm's explanation, Rantis nodded, and then found a relatively intact house nearby to go in to shelter from the rain, Bit and the turtledove followed, and suddenly saw that the worm was still standing outside, and the turtledove stopped at the door and looked back at her.

"I want to be alone for a while."

After speaking, Xiao Worm did not look for another place to take shelter from the rain, and sat down directly in a half-collapsed house opposite, leaving only the small half of the ceiling barely covering the rain, and Xiao Worm sat against the base of the wall.

"She's on her mind, isn't she?"

Lantis muttered quietly.

"It seems that yes," Turtledove's tone was full of helplessness, "Don't look at what she didn't say on the surface just now, she was quite strong Yes, in fact, the worm must be thinking about Galahad in her heart, Galahad raised her so much since she was a child, and suddenly heard the news that Galahad might be dead, how could she not be uncomfortable." ”

"And you still tell her?"

Landis's words made the turtledove speechless, - yes, if it wasn't for the turtledove's mouthful to tell the worm at that time, but to find some other reason to prevaricate, the worm would probably still be kept in the dark now, and would not be as sad and sad as it is now.

However, the turtledove didn't feel that he had done something wrong, he didn't want to hide it from the little worm, the turtledove felt sorry for the little worm like this, and was a little worried about her, of course, such a thing didn't need to be explained to Rantis, so the turtledove didn't say anything, unloaded the supplies behind him, patted his ass and sat on the other side of the house, looking up at the ceiling covered with cobwebs.

……

The night rain rained hurriedly.

The scale of the city is far beyond ordinary people's imagination, the prison where the turtledove and the worm woke up before is all dilapidated, and the worm tells the turtledove that it is almost the edge of the city, and then the two of them take the subway and escape in the opposite direction to the center of the city, and they are still on the edge of the city.

If the city is regarded as a concentric circle, then the turtledove and the others are still in the outermost circle of the concentric circle, but judging by the completeness of the buildings here, it can be judged that they are not far from the next ring of the concentric circle.

Collapsed houses are everywhere, and the streets are not only covered with floor tiles, but also weeds have grown in the cracks of the floor tiles, and even the asphalt pavement has been broken by the plants below, turning into undulating and potholes, which shows that this place has been abandoned for a long time.

……

The turtle dove was a little relieved that he couldn't get rid of the worm, so he decided to unravel the worm, as for how to solve it, the turtle dove hadn't thought of it for the time being.

Walking into the dilapidated house where the insect was sitting against the wall, the turtledove thought of three or two opening sentences on the way to come, but when he saw the worm, he forgot all about it, sighed, and the turtledove could only stand there and rub his hands like a fool.

The little worm looked at the silly turtledove and said:

"Sit down."

Sitting beside the little worm, the turtledove could feel that she was really not in a good mood, and a little tear could be faintly seen in the corner of her eye, and now the turtledove didn't know what to say.

"I've sensed something is wrong with Uncle Galahad," Worm's voice sounded like he was talking to himself, "if he's okay, why hasn't he been willing to show up since the Oasis?" I know he's in trouble, and it's not a small problem, but I'm sure he's not going to die. ”

"Uncle Galahad won't die."

Xiao Worm deliberately emphasized the last sentence again, but his confidence was weaker.

"Don't worry, he won't die."

Hearing the turtledove say this, the little worm turned his head to look at the turtledove, and suddenly the corners of his mouth grinned, and he stretched his brows and laughed:

"Idiot."

……

The sky was about to dawn, and the rain had subsided a little.

The group of four rested for almost half the night, and finally ate the only little food left, and then they were ready to go again, I don't know if it was because of the heavy rain last night, the wildflowers on the roadside were very bright, and the weeds were also brighter.

Walking through the ruins, after climbing the collapsed wreckage of a three-story low building, the little worm pointed ahead and said to the three people below: "Look, there are traces of a battle ahead!" ”

After the worm finished speaking, he jumped down from the stairs and ran forward, and by the time Turtledove, Lantis, and Bit caught up with her, everyone had already come to the alley between the two low buildings, and a thick bloody air came to their faces.

The first thing that caught my eye was the corpses all over the ground, and the clothes on their bodies should be "elite squad", the number was about seven or eight, and almost everyone was disemboweled, and the death was miserable.

Mixed among the corpses of these "elite squad" members were the corpses of more than a dozen "clones", all of whom were white "multiples" who had dealt with turtledoves and bugs earlier, but they looked a little different.

"It's strange," the little worm who was squatting on the ground examining the corpse looked up suspiciously, "how did these people become bald?" ”
