On the way to the city with the team members, Gong Piqing looked back at the road they had come, and the footprints they left along the way were almost a straight line, which could prove that they were not going in circles or walking blindly, at least it could prove that they were walking in the right direction now.

This is just like the human society, at the beginning they set out from the border of the Extremely Cold Country, and encountered the extremely poor small village, which was so remote that it could be used as a place for the elemental mage to be "exiled", which is enough to prove how remote it is; And the palace of the Extremely Cold Country will definitely not be built in such a remote place, but the place where the palace is located is the most prosperous area in the entire Extremely Cold Country, and now the buildings they pass by have changed from that kind of remote village to a city, which should prove that they are moving in the right direction.

The pace of the team members is very fast, without blessing any sudden change in action, Gong Piqing followed behind them and walked a few steps before he was a little breathing, Gong Piqing didn't understand why they were so active, they saw a city when they saw it, why they had to race with the whole people, but when he complained in his heart, he looked up and finally saw the city reported by the team members.

Presumably, that city has no magic at all, the reason why they couldn't see it clearly just now is really because the distance is a little far away and the sky is too dark, the first thing that catches their eyes is a castle-style building, the whole castle looks like it is made of yellow sand and stones, judging from the scale and materials of the building alone, this city is indeed much more "advanced" than the small village where the elemental mage is located, although this castle does look very magnificent, but it doesn't look like a royal palace......

If this is really the royal palace of the Extremely Cold Country, shouldn't it be the scene of the whole army gathering and waiting for them to arrive? Or rather, just like when Gong Piqing strayed into the country of the Dark Crows, thousands of troops stood behind the lords of the continent, or the lords personally greeted them, but no matter what, it shouldn't be such a desolate scene now, right?

No wonder the team members said that they didn't see anyone in this city, this is a dead city after all!

Gong Piqing carried out a series of visual enhancement mutations on the road for this poorly lit environment, although it was not as perverted as when they were there in Tianlong, but it could also make his eyesight much better than that of the team members; At a glance, he could see that there were some things scattered on the road not far from the castle-shaped building, like some furniture that had been directly discarded on the road, such a scene obviously should not appear in a normal city, that only means that the city is not normal.

"That's weird...... I didn't see anyone in the drone when I first looked at it, but the more I look at it, the more I feel like it's a dead city......" one of the team members muttered.

"It's a dead city, and you look at the things on the ground as if there's just been a big battle here." One of the team members also found the things scattered on the ground, and even when they got closer, they realized that there were few good windows on the outermost buildings, and the windows here seemed to be made of the same glass as on the earth, but at this time more than half of the windows in their field of vision were broken, even the imposing-looking castle.

As a result, the idea of "this is the palace" was abandoned by the team members, because this is not only not a palace, but also a deserted dead city.

"Look, there's blood on the outer wall of that room over there?" One of the team members suddenly pointed to a building on the outskirts of the town, and the team members then looked in the direction he pointed, only to see that on the outer wall of a two-story sandstone building, there was a trace like splashing ink, and those things looked black in the eyes of the team members, but this could not be said that this was not blood at all, because they all knew that blood was black after a long period of oxidation, and they could also see the direction and force of this liquid splashing up from that trace.

They can even simulate the scene of these blood splashes in their minds based on years of training experience-

First of all, the perpetrator needs to have a very terrifying strength and powerful weapons, because it can cause such a serious wound, it is obvious that it directly destroys the victim's arteries and even causes a broken wound to it, and there are no extra blood splashes on the wall, which means that the perpetrator only used that blow to kill the victim, as soon as I thought of this, an inexplicable fear immediately surged into the hearts of the team members, what happened here to make this whole city become such a dead city?

In fact, the blood stains on the wall over there Gong Piqing had already seen it with the help of a powerful visual mutation, and the reason why he didn't tell the team members at the first time was because he thought that the wall was just some stains or graffiti at first, and when the team members were discussing whether those things were blood stains, he found several more traces of this from the place where he could see them at present, if these things were really blood, then this was a completely murderous city!

Thinking of this, Gong Piqing couldn't help but shudder, his gaze quickly skimmed over the exterior walls and ground of some buildings, the dim sky and the changing colors of the aurora in the sky did not have much effect on his vision at all, because his eyes were in response to the sudden change of this situation at this time, and he also saw a scene that he couldn't believe no matter how with this visual advantage; The team members next to him used various evidence to prove that the black marks on the wall were dried blood stains, and he also found that this dried blood stains could be seen almost everywhere in this city! Almost except for the castle's outer walls, which were too tall for blood to splatter, some of the low-rise buildings had some such black marks on their outer walls!

"Yes, you're right, this is a fierce city, a battle has just taken place, and even the battle here came earlier than your battle with the Immortal Legion, this city has been abandoned for a long time, maybe more than a month." The queen said from Gong Piqing's mind.

"So, that, what are we doing here? Or...... Just go straight away, shall we? I'm a little scared, could there be some ghosts or something? Gong Piqing said from the bottom of his heart, and before he knew it, he had followed the team members into the city, and the team members also found those dried blood stains that could be seen almost everywhere for the first time, and there were even some bones similar to the minions of fierce beasts in some places.

The team members fell silent, because the scene in front of them was no longer a result of discussing with each other, they were all highly trained fighters and not a group of tourists, and the scene in front of them was obviously something they didn't expect in any way, even when they used the reconnaissance drone just now, they didn't realize that the city would become like this.

Everything is as if there is a hand in the dark that is leading them to this city, when they were using drones to reconnoiter this city just now, they just heard the warning of the drone reconnaissance system as soon as they approached the city, saying that it will be beyond the signal control range if it goes any further, and the drone will automatically return, so they are just using drones to watch the city from afar, but there are so many of them, and no one has found the anomaly of this city, and it is not found until now that they have completely walked in.

They all had the idea of leaving now, because their current mission was to find the palace, not to explore something in such a dead city, the appearance of this dead city only proved that they were moving in the right direction, and if they continued to stay in this city, it would not cause danger to themselves, and it would be considered against the original purpose of their mission......

But how to make a decision, they still have to listen to the captain.

After entering the city, the team changed from the original team members to Gong Piqing to lead the way, Gong Piqing's speed was not fast, because he was too far away from the team members and a little afraid, they continued to walk forward in line with the principle of continuing to move through the city, but what they saw along the way repeatedly pulled their nervous nerves.

Eventually, a familiar sense of fear erupted among the team, who, after seeing countless scratches left on the exterior walls of the buildings, finally connected the dead city to the infected, because who else but the infected who had turned into zombies, who else had left so many scratches on the hard sandstone facades of these hard sandstone buildings that were tens of centimeters or half a meter long or even longer......
