Chapter 477: A Snake's Nest Without Snakes
Passing through the dense woods, dilapidated buildings soon appeared in front of 659.
It was a pre-cataclysmic human footprint, now shrouded in scarlet moonlight, a lair of mutated creatures.
"Seriously, I hate looking for ......"
Casually looking for a higher position, 659 simply looked at the villages and towns below.
The monocle with the ability to function as a battlefield assistant will help him record everything he sees, so 659 doesn't have to worry about forgetting any details.
What he is looking at now is the main thoroughfares in the villages and towns.
Sometimes the moonlight pierces through the clouds, sometimes it is completely obscured, adding an eerie touch to all the quiet scenes.
Seeing that the monocle had been recorded, 659 didn't stay any longer, found a relatively flat path, and walked towards the village and town.
Not long after 659 left, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the dark night, and the leaves in the rolling forest rattled.
The surrounding temperature plummeted to freezing.
In the midst of the shadows, there seemed to be many more figures in the woods......
659 didn't notice the change behind him, his gaze kept to the front, watching for a threat that could emerge from the shadows at any moment.
The village and town, known as the Snake's Nest, have long since been dilapidated, and the concrete-paved pavement has cracked and become covered with gravel and gravel.
In the process of traveling, 659 keenly noticed that except for the main road he walked, the pavement of the rest of the roads was covered with various corrugated lines.
It's as if there are a lot of cables of different thicknesses that have been dragged on them.
659 is clear that this is a trail of movement unique to snake creatures.
"The snake nest snake nest is really worthy of its name, but after walking for so long, how can I just see the traces and not see a snake......
His steps slowed again, and 659 looked around more vigilantly.
At this time, he had entered the center of the village, but in addition to the dilapidated buildings, all he could see was the strange lines on the ground.
Not to mention the shadow of the mutated creature, there is not even the sound of Suosuo's activity.
The only sound in the entire village and town seemed to be the sound of the grit grinding under the feet of 659.
Although there was no substantial threat to its own safety, as time passed, 659's worries became more and more intense.
After froze in place for half a second, he simply shook his shoulder and reawakened his left arm, which was in standby mode.
The faint blue light slowly seeped out from the cracks, undulating with the young man's breathing.
659's operation undoubtedly exposed himself to the darkness.
If there are invisible mutant snakes around at this moment, they will definitely attack him.
But to his surprise, he stood in the middle of the road for ten minutes, and there was still no movement in the surrounding darkness.
It seems that the only living creature in the entire village and town is only 659.
"Damn, there's no snake in the snake's nest? Could it be that they were all killed by the dungeon's wilderness hunters? ”
659 was stunned.
Just as he was about to start a carpet search of the villages and towns, a whistle suddenly came from a distance, clear and long.
"Someone! Is it Zhang Ning? ”
659's heart sank, and he followed the voice and looked into the distance.
Looking beyond the dilapidated building, his gaze finally landed on a towering water tower.
While 659 looked over, a little yellow light lit up at the top of the water tower, and after a few flashes of light and darkness, it disappeared.
It seems that the other party has noticed the faint blue glow from his left arm.
Although I don't know the identity of the other party, I don't think it's Zhang Ning who can stay in the snake nest town during this time period, and there will be no one else. 659 sighed again and again in his heart, this is really a nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.
I didn't expect that it seemed to be looking for a needle in a vast haystack, but in fact, it was a search for things.
Now that he had a direction, 659 no longer hesitated, kept his left arm activated, and ran towards the water tower in the center of the village.
The seemingly distant distance came in an instant under the wild run of the youth.
The Daredevil suit not only has the effect of maintaining body temperature, but also excels in sports assistance.
It took almost no effort for 659 to reach the bottom of the water tower.
Although the village has been abandoned for a long time, the construction quality of the building is still very reliable.
The staircase of the water tower in front of him was shattered and seemed to have been vandalized, except for the steel ladders on both sides.
659 casually glanced at it, and noticed that the steel ladder on the left looked relatively strong, so he let go of his hands and feet and climbed up.
The night was dark, and the temperature around me dropped again.
But since the young man was wearing a Daredevil protective suit, he didn't feel much of it.
The 30-meter water tower is not high, and it is not short when it is short.
The 659 used both hands and feet to finally reach the top five minutes later.
It's just that before he could grab the handrail of the last step of the steel ladder, a human face suddenly poked out on the black water tower countertop!
"it!"
659 let out a low breath and subconsciously shrank back.
Although he was deliberately on guard, the appearance of the human face was too sudden and without warning.
Being able to fall off the steel ladder without being frightened is already considered to be 659 courageous.
The sudden appearance of the face reacted more than 659, and he didn't seem to expect 659 to climb so fast
As he screamed, a few orange particles of light appeared on his face.
These particles of light are very small, like spilled fireflies, and disappear into the cold air in an instant.
He was so frightened by 659 that he directly used his second-order ability!
"Daredevil Suit...... You were sent by the white generals? ”
After the scream, the face on the platform regained its composure and asked tentatively.
"That's right."
659 under the mask frowned, met the other party's gaze, and nodded.
"Then come up quickly......"
The face was not much nonsense, and when he saw that the comer nodded in acknowledgement, he immediately shrank back.
climbed the water tower, and 659 saw the other party's appearance clearly.
It's a man.
The facial features are not outstanding, and the skin is full of small scars.
In the dim light, combined with the long, messy hair, it is easy to mistake it for a secondary infected who has been hungry for a long time.
However, the man's eyes looked a little special in the scarlet moonlight, glowing with a faint brown light, like two smart gems.
The man wore a rag-like coat and his legs were covered with strips of cloth.
It can be seen that he has done a good job of keeping warm.
"You're Xiaoyi's father, Zhang Ning, right?"
659 brushed one hand in front of him, and the mask of the Daredevil's protective suit quickly dissipated, and he looked at the man across from him and asked.
"That's right, you were sent by the white general to find me? The people of the 22nd Corps......"
The man seemed to be tired, and while answering the 659 question, he leaned back slightly and sat down.
"Sort of......
Seeing that the other party misunderstood his identity, 659 didn't mean to explain, but asked straight to the point.
"Why don't you go back to the dungeon? Your daughter is waiting for you in a hurry. ”
"Heh, back to the dungeon? How can I ...... back?"
A wry smile spread on Zhang Ning's face, this expression touched the scars on his face, making the whole face look a little more vicissitudes.
Without waiting for 659 to open his mouth to ask again, Zhang Ning quickly added.
"And it's not just me, you can't go back."
"What?!"
Hearing this, 659's brow furrowed.
Listening to Zhang Ning's meaning, in this town called the Snake's Nest, is there any great terror?
"Did you pass through the grove to the east when you came?"
As he spoke, Zhang Ning nodded in the distance.
659 looked back, and from the water tower, he could just take in the grove at the entrance of the village and town.
"That's right."
"Then when you came, you didn't notice anything wrong......
Zhang Ning's face was bitter and rich.
"There's nothing wrong with it, it's quiet in the woods, there are no zombies, no mutated creatures......"
Hearing Zhang Ning's question, 659's brows tightened.
"Isn't it strange that there's nothing?"
Zhang Ning seemed to be a little disappointed by 659's answer, in his eyes, it was simply impossible for such a simple young man to survive in this chaotic land.
"It's too quiet, isn't it, what the hell do you know, tell me straight."
was asked by Zhang Ning like this, and 659's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
"We're all targeted by him, and we're all targeted by that general-level zombie......"
Zhang Ning said as he reached out to untie the bandage on his calf.
659 then noticed that his calves were not completely covered with strips of warm cloth, and a small part of his calf was a bandage to stop bleeding.
After the bandage was untied, a rancid smell filled with the smell of blood spread through the cold air, and 659 sniffled a few times and asked.
"General-level zombies? You mean, there are general-level zombies in Snake's Nest? ”
"That's right, and his zombie servants are guarding the grove at the entrance of the village to the east, even if you wear the Daredevil suit, you won't be able to spot those monsters lurking......"
Through the scarlet moonlight, Zhang Ning carefully looked at the wound on his calf.
But presumably due to the lack of light, he looked up and looked towards 659's left arm.
"Excuse me, can you get closer, take a picture of me with your arm......"
Although 659 was eager to know the truth of the matter, the current situation was obviously impatient.
So after Zhang Ning made a request, he raised his palm very cooperatively.
A soft white light came out of the palm of his hand and shone on the wound on his calf.
"Yo, it's so good, you can also use it as a flashlight......"
Zhang Ning didn't expect that 659's mechanical left arm still had this function, and subconsciously praised it.
659, on the other hand, ignored him at all and continued to ask.
"What rank is that general-level zombie? How strong is it? Do you know the number and strength of Hucong? ”
"I don't know how many ranks, the number of subordinates, maybe a dozen, anyway, most of what I see are pawn level......
Zhang Ning didn't know where he took out a palm-sized cloth bag, and opened the cloth bag while answering 659.
Inside was a black mass that looked like the guts of something.
Under 659's gaze, Zhang Ning stretched out his finger and poked inside......
