Chapter 231: The Town
"According to your inference, it was this civilization that accidentally came to the Blue Star, found what it wanted, and then drove the alien beasts here to fight the humans to get something conveniently." Kui Gang shook his head again and again, "It doesn't make sense." Alien beasts are more powerful than humans. ”
"I also thought, why go around in such a big circle? With the current level of technology of this alien civilization, fighting with humans is almost like beating a baby. Chen Renyu scratched his forehead in annoyance, "But my intuition tells me that's the case." ”
"Leave this to me. As for what the answer is, you find out for yourself. That's all I can help you. With that, Kui just turned around and went back into the ship.
A few days later, Mr. Chen arrived in the town as a tourist. There are no snowflakes here all year round, and the whole town is covered in snow.
The snow was falling, the wind was biting, and the exhaled breath turned into ice almost instantly.
He is like an ordinary person, wearing a thick winter coat, and using his mental power to make it impossible for anyone below the hunter to see his true face.
He walked towards the town on foot, but passed by an unwalled cemetery on the way.
This is the only way to get into the town. According to the information, it is a novelty for tourists. In the empty and silent cemetery, the snow under your feet creaked like the wailing of birds.
The rows of tombstones are like chessboards, two miles deep. Almost all of these tombstones are buried deep in snow. From afar, it looks like a snow-white forest. There is no trace of horror and weird atmosphere, it will only make people write a poem and sigh "Life is like morning dew".
However, for Chen Renyu, he firmly believes that he will soon become a hunting god and break through the limits of human lifespan.
A young woman appeared in the field of vision. Judging by the clothes. He wears a pink velvet hat and goggles, revealing only his mouth and nose.
A wide, thick, gaudy scarf was wrapped around his neck, he wore an almost faded red cardigan and leather jacket, a skirt that almost dragged on the ground, boots that almost melted into the snow, blue gloves like bear's paws, and a shovel in one hand and an iron bucket in the other.
Before coming, Chen Renyu checked the relevant information and knew that this was a town that was almost not "polluted" by technology.
Their standard of living is still stuck before the cataclysm. There used to be a lot of salesmen from major families to sell all kinds of high-tech products. But the local residents were not tempted, and the salesmen returned in batches.
The locals never went out. It's as if the cemetery is an enchantment, sealing them here. That's why it's a tourist destination. Especially in summer, it's the best place to spend your vacation.
The young woman walked over with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and when she saw Chen Renyu, a happy smile appeared on her face, "Guests from afar, welcome to your arrival." You're the first visitor in these months. ”
"Who are you?" Chen Renyu asked politely.
"I'm Vesta a local resident. They came to shovel snow. I didn't expect you to come so early, waiting for me to shovel a way. The young woman swung her shovel twice.
It can be seen that this is a girl who is good at talking and has a lively personality.
Chen Renyu stepped aside, "You continue to shovel snow, and I'll talk to you." ”
Vesta happily replied and began his snow shoveling mission. She worked very diligently, shoveling the path through the cemetery as if it were marked with a ruler, as smooth as if it had been stroked with an iron. If you encounter some ice bumps, put them in an iron bucket.
Chen Renyu looked in the direction of the town and saw wisps of cooking smoke coming out of the towering chimneys and drifting away in the wind and snow.
The sun shone brightly on the snow, and the reflection of the snow made the surroundings brighter.
"How many years have you not been out? How many generations, to be exact? Chen Renyu asked curiously.
"Our whole town is surrounded by cemeteries. All those who died are buried here. Guess how many generations? Vesta asked in a cheerful tone.
I don't know how many people were in the first generation of this town, and I don't know how many people joined during the period, but there are five or six thousand in this cemetery alone.
Just as Chen Renyu was thinking about it, he suddenly sensed the breath of a junior hunter, looked over, and saw a strange beast at the junction of the cemetery and the woods.
Alien beasts?
His instincts told him that there was something wrong with this conclusion.
It looks like a lizard, with a large body like a cow, fist-sized eyes like two crystal rubies, skin as hard as a turtle shell, and crocodile-like threads and ridges.
A human-like pant sound emanated from the thick chest.
It was so weird that he couldn't help but think of the beastly form of a human. However, the bestial form of human beings is obviously dominated by human characteristics.
And this beast has no characteristics to prove Chen Renyu's doubts except for its panting voice and similar eyes to humans.
It began to crawl quickly in the direction of Vesta. Seeing this, Chen Renyu flashed to Vesta and stared at it closely.
Only then did Vesta notice something unusual, poked his head out from behind Chen Renyu, and immediately understood what was happening, "This tourist, it doesn't matter, this is the guardian beast herd of our town, we all call them 'Calling'. Always help us and never hurt anyone. ”
The beast realized something, reluctantly retreated, and then turned around and ran back into the woods.
Knock knock knock...... From the direction of the town came the sound of a bell ringing.
It's especially loud inside and outside this empty town. Startled flocks of birds.
"I just heard that you haven't had any tourists here lately, what's going on?" Chen Renyu asked casually.
"It's not a big deal, it's all about some tourists making a fuss." Vesta said, scraping the snow off the nearest tombstone with a shovel, revealing the words engraved on it.
"Tomb of Vlareish, Cataclysm 506 ~ Cataclysm 546......"
Vesta scraped the snow off another tombstone with a shovel.
"Tomb of Plaulet, Cataclysm 466 ~ Cataclysm 506 ......"
She scraped the snow off a dozen tombstones in one go.
Chen Renyu quickly noticed that something was wrong, "All of them only lived to be forty years old?" ”
"Yes. Some tourists who are too curious have found out about this, thinking that it is a great secret and making up some conspiracy theories, so that tourists have not come recently. Vesta shrugged helplessly.
Chen Renyu frowned slightly, "It stands to reason that this kind of thing will cause a sensation, why did I check the information related to this town, but I didn't see the relevant information?" ”
"I think some people in the town hired researchers to delete it thoroughly. We all live a pre-cataclysmic lifestyle, but we have been traveling for hundreds of years, and we have all accumulated a lot of money. It's a no-brainer. Vesta put away his shovel, "It's time to go back to dinner, the bell is a reminder." ”
