Chapter 15: Unknown Events

The two of them could do nothing about the ruined town, and tried to scavenge the town for what they could use, but they could hardly bring back anything except some charred iron and sundries, and there was not even a single food to be found in the town, and the cellar was empty, apparently premeditated.

In the ruins of the town, Xiang En and Andrea had no interest in staying for a long time, and after picking up an iron pot that could still be used, the two were ready to leave.

All the way to the city gate, both of them were in a heavy mood, because it was the first time they had seen their own kind who had been brutally killed.

Xiang En and Andrea, one stayed in the academy after crossing over, and the other was the daughter of a nobleman, even if they knew the cruelty of the world, but it was the first time that they witnessed the cruelty happening.

The picture of the charred and glued corpses kept playing back in the minds of the two, and even Xiang En, who was quite calm, couldn't help but be cold on a hot day.

The process of leaving the ruins of the town was as silent as when they came, and everything around them was as if the world had banished them both.

After searching for a few days, the two followed the path again and came to a village.

There are also no living people here, but the situation is not the same as in the towns, where almost all the crops are eaten by animals.

On the trail, both Xiang En and Andrea saw some skeletons that had been eaten by wild beasts.

It seems that a group of high-level demonic beasts attacked the village and ate all the villagers......

Entering the village, Xiang En and Andrea tried to shout, but they couldn't find a living person, but there were many fresh traces of people's activities, and following the traces, the two found another way out of the village.

Those villagers who survived the beast attack may have abandoned the village and left the ......

Xiang En discussed with Andrea, and decided to follow the route that the villagers left, anyway, the general direction has not changed, and if you want to reach Andrea's hometown on foot, it is estimated that it will take half a month, so there is no hurry.

After scouring the village, they found some jerky, hydration bags and backpacks, and the two were back to their previous state, except for the loss of their weapons.

Following in the footsteps left by the villagers, the two moved for a day and came across a new village.

But to the surprise of the two, the village is still a mess, full of desolation after being attacked by wild beasts.

A large part of the supplies in the village were missing, and the traces of the path told Xiang En that the villagers had left again, and the traces extended to the main road of the caravan.

Then the two of them continued to move along the tracks, and after another day, they saw a trail left behind by the camp, and the traces were distinct, apparently those villagers had just left behind!

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to their kind, the two who had endured nearly ten days of loneliness couldn't help but speed up.

The main road merges into another main road, and at the intersection of the two main roads, Xiang En and Andrea see fresher traces at dusk.

A pile of burning charcoal fires on the side of the road, and charred corpses in the charcoal fire.

When he saw this pile of carbon fire, Xiang En almost didn't survive, and the blood on the ground reminded him of the town he passed by not long ago.

But the difference is that the blood on the ground here still retains a viscous texture, and what is even more terrifying is that at the intersection of the two roads, there are dense footprints and traces of carriages.

The villagers didn't have a carriage, so it was most likely the one that was the one who did the assailants.

Xiang En looked at the front of the road, his expression was solemn, and he retreated in his heart.

Towns are generally managed by local heroes, and although the strength of the private soldiers is a little bit stronger, it is impossible to be solved by a group of robbers casually, let alone large-scale slaughter.

Coupled with the indentations and footprints of the carriage he observed, there were at least hundreds of suspected robbers passing by here......

As for why it is suspicious, it is because of such a terrible act in an important city on the edge of the empire, if there is no protection and acquiescence of the forces, these people estimate that when they slaughter the town, they should be exterminated by the city lord of De Air, which is close at hand.

He is not stupid, and although his occasional thoughts bring the comfort of the previous world, he can still perceive the places worth pondering between these events.

Is the forbidden blockade of De'Er City also related to this?

Where do they go after that?

While Xiang En was pondering, Andrea followed the smell of another smell in the air, walked into the woods on the side, and in a clearing in the woods, she saw some cloth turned into crumbs, and a small amount of blood.

The foul smell reminded her of some of the biographical novels she had read, the contents of which thrilled her, but the filth in front of her only made her sick.

The tragedy of the city of Deeyre, the ruins of the town, the deserted villages, and now, she gradually connected these events.

But her way of thinking is different from Xiang En's, and even piggyback on some naivety and darkness.

Everything here seems to her to be more like the "real world", and she doesn't care about the logic behind it.

Andrea only thinks about why she did this?

Xiang En is thinking about what does this mean for those who control power, and what is driving behind it?

"We can't go any further......"

Seeing Andrea walking out of the woods on the side, Xiang En said the only thing he could do now.

Andrea didn't force it, although she wanted to go home and have a look, she knew that if she rushed forward, she might end up with a pile of burning charcoal.

"If we don't go on, where are we going?"

Xiang En looked around, thinking about it, he felt that the current information was not enough for them to see the truth of the whole incident, and it was difficult to find the absolutely correct choice from the existing information.

If you insist on saying what kind of decision is the most appropriate and the most profitable, it should be to find a place where no one is around, and if there are monsters for them to level up, they will farm wild monsters, and just wait.

But it's impossible to get away from the masses forever, and if they want to kill the beast, they still need supplies, and Andrea can't protect her and protect herself with a dagger.

So they still need to go where there are people, but they need to be more cautious.

"Let's continue walking in a few days, after that we may have to take a detour, and we'll get here today."

"Hmmm......"

The communication with Xiang Eun did not make Andrea's autism better, but it became more serious after seeing the evidence of the atrocities one after another, and Xiang Eun did not express his opinion on it, and let her go.

The two entered the woods on the side, preparing to set up a campfire not far away.

After a few days of traveling, Xiang En discovered another wonderful use of finger revealing skills, mosquito repellent!

After applying dew to their bare skin, the two took turns keeping vigil and resting, and finally managed to survive another night.

The next morning, they began trying to find water and animals to set up a makeshift shelter.
