It was the sound of feet stepping on dead leaves, the clatter and cracking of clothes on the branches, the blood stains on the side of the abandoned camp, and a blur of flesh hung haphazardly from the trunk of a tree, like the internal organs of an animal.

It was still early, but it felt like the whole valley was gray, and it was difficult to see the sunlight in the foggy world.

Passing through a remote forest path, you can see a street, and at the entrance of the street stands a tattered old street sign, the handwriting is somewhat dim, and it reads:

Welcome to Goat Town.

"Here we are."

Nika said, pointing in the direction of the town's entrance.

"It's strange that I didn't see any townspeople."

Rena rubbed her swollen calves as she spoke, they didn't meet anyone along the way, even if they entered the town, it was quiet, there was no sound in the town, and it was full of an inexplicable weird atmosphere.

"Let's go, let's go first, and we'll have to find a place to stay at night."

Perhaps because of the lack of transportation or the lack of communication with the outside world, the buildings in Goattown were still in the same style as they were hundreds of years ago, and some of the facades were aging and falling off, and they walked along the street and saw that the doors of the shops on both sides of the road were closed and unattended.

But Jiang Chenchuan has carefully observed that the items in the store are neatly arranged, and they do not look like they have been subjected to violence or destruction.

I thought that after entering the town, I would be able to see people asking about the "black goat's horn", but as a result, they walked for more than ten minutes and didn't even see a bird.

"It's strange, Iwell, where have all the people gone in the daytime?"

Rena looked around, and it was clear that the whole town looked stable and peaceful, even the garbage in the roadside garbage cans had been cleaned up, the green leaves swept up by the wind drifted down, and the breath of life was in front of her, but she couldn't see the people living here.

As if something was in his mind, Nika turned his head to stare somewhere, thought for a moment, and then raised his leg and walked in the other direction.

Jiang Chenchuan immediately noticed that Nika was left behind, and in this operation, he had always been skeptical of Nika's joining, turned his head to signal Rena, and followed silently.

Rena wanted to ask, but seeing Jiang Chenchuan's appearance, she quietly followed behind.

Nika walked all the way, and it was a strange feeling, as if she knew her destination, she knew what she was looking for, and the town was eerily quiet, one might even say quiet, to a terrifying degree.

Jiang Chenchuan clenched his cane and let Rena follow him, he wouldn't be surprised if a monster rushed out from behind a closed door at this time, after all, it was not too much of a trap designed by Nika for them.

However...... Nothing happened.

Nika stopped in front of an ordinary house, staring at it with a confused expression.

"Rustle—"

There was a sound of clothes rubbing behind him, which seemed extremely clear in this quiet town, Jiang Chenchuan hurriedly turned his head, only to catch a subtle afterimage.

"Nika, protect Rena!"

Jiang Chenchuan hurriedly explained, this sound seemed to wake Nika from his dream, he came back to his senses, and Jiang Chenchuan did not hesitate, immediately dropped his luggage and rushed up.

Based on years of professional experience, he can almost conclude that-

That's a person.

A living person.

Sure enough, turning the corner, he saw a figure fleeing from the wilderness.

"Wait!"

Jiang Chenchuan shouted at the man.

Unexpectedly, it was okay not to shout, but when he shouted, the person trembled with fear and ran faster.

Fortunately, although Jiang Chenchuan's current physical fitness is not as good as the original body, it is still no problem to chase individuals, and I still remember when I helped other employers to collect debtors before, it was a dangerous run.

After catching up, grabbing the man's arm was a pull, a set of standard grappling and serving, almost without any fighting, he was pressed to the ground by Jiang Chenchuan, pulling his hips very much, only to hear the man's crying face, while pounding the ground with his other free hand, while shouting "help".

"What to save? There is no one here, who can save you? ”

Jiang Chenchuan pressed him with one knee and asked curiously.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a pistol being loaded, and the swarthy muzzle of the gun was instantly aimed at him.

A somewhat familiar voice said:

"Let him go!"

Jiang Chenchuan turned his head in the direction of the sound and met Ethan's eyes.

"It's you!"

The two said in unison.

Rena and Nika, who had caught up, were panting, completely unaware of what was going on, and everything was over, seeing Jiang Chenchuan get up from the ground, patting the dust on his trouser legs, and reaching out to pull the man up.

"Ewell! What are you doing here? ”

Ethan looked surprised, he quietly put away his pistol and said hello to Jiang Chenchuan, and his companion who had just stood up could only silently check his wrist, and the pain made him speechless for a while.

"Same issue."

Jiang Chenchuan responded.

Who would have thought that these two people had just been separated, and they thought that they would never see each other again in this life, but they still met here skillfully.

"It seems that the information this time is really valuable."

The person who secretly followed them was called Thoma, who was Ethan's companion, and they set off a day earlier than Jiang Chenchuan, and naturally, they arrived in Goat Town a day earlier than Jiang Chenchuan.

According to Thoma's recollections, the reason why he followed them was because he thought that Jiang Chenchuan was a hidden townsman who came back to get food, so he wanted to secretly follow them to see where he would go in the end.

"Hide?"

Jiang Chenchuan captured the key words.

"That's what we're inferring, and you've seen it, the whole town is empty, and there's no one there." Thoma shrugged and said helplessly.

When they arrived in Goattown yesterday, the town was already like this, always gray skies, quiet and clean streets, normal shops, and silent nights.

"You see, the town's electricity hasn't been cut off, and the water is still being supplied."

Ethan smashed the door of an innocent townsman, and found that there was no one in the house, but the facilities remained intact, so he took over the magpie's nest and moved in without saying anything, probably the only inconvenience was that the gate was smashed by him, and the wind would leak in the middle of the night.

At first, Thoma would talk to Ethan about the morality of such behavior, but when he had a soft bed to sleep in at night, he silently acknowledged Ethan's atrocities.

Now, the five of them are crammed into the small living room, with the lights on and large bags of luggage stacked at their feet.

Thoma originally deduced that something should have happened to the town, and the townspeople all found a place to hide or move away, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Chenchuan and his party passing by in front of the window, so they secretly followed.

Yes, Ethan and Thoma checked all over town yesterday, and there was no one in them.

It's like......

All the townspeople here disappeared overnight.
