"You guys guard the door, in case I can't find it, it's up to you to show me the spot."

Aurora was entrusted with the important task of four ordinary people with almost no combat power, who must have been her most trusted henchmen, among whom was John Jr. last night. Although ordinary people are quite dangerous on the edge and face the threat of mutation at any time, it is still feasible to stay at a relatively safe entrance and exit for a period of time.

Aurora is assigning tasks to her subordinates, while Babu and Monica are looking around at the edge of the edge in shock, because what they see in front of them has subverted their perception of the edge.

The environment has changed.

Obviously, dozens of minutes ago, His Highness's team pushed back nearly a hundred taels of abandoned cars from the long road on the edge, but now the marginal environment where everyone is is no longer in sight, there is no end to the road, instead, there is an empty wilderness, a country road extends along the wilderness into the distance, and at the end of the path, there seems to be a large manor.

Even if there was a fringe switch every few days, and the fringe environment would change completely, it would be a sign and would never be so abrupt, and looking at Aurora and her men, there was no surprise at all, and it was obvious that they were used to it, unless it was ......

The two of them seemed to understand something, and Babu groaned slightly, as if he had nothing to do, and asked casually: "Aurora, how many entrances and exits are there on the edge of your current world of the scale of Donggu City?" ”

"Usually two to four, at most four, one each to the southeast, northwest, but this time it is relatively few, only two."

"Oh, four." No matter how surprised he was, Babu's expression remained the same, and he nodded, "That's a lot less." ”

Monica glanced at Babu, the corners of her mouth twitching, but she held back and didn't say anything.

"Of course, it can't be compared with your Vera Royal City, your Royal City alone is more than ten times larger than Donggu City, and it is of course normal to span several edges." Aurora looked excited when she ran to the edge, and pointed to the farm in the distance and said, "Look there, the target of my mission should be over there, I peeked from a distance yesterday, and I did feel the coercion of the Commander-level mutant, I can't be wrong." But there were too many rooms in the manor, and I didn't dare to go in and search carefully, so I haven't found the entity of the mutant, and I don't know if I can find it today. ”

"It seems that after I go back, I should talk to Judy as soon as possible, so as not to make jokes." After receiving Monica's affirmative answer, Babu said to Aurora absentmindedly, "Don't worry, you can definitely find it today, as long as that thing really exists." ”

"Huh? Why? ”

"She has instructed you to come to us for help, so we can't let you down." Babu shrugged, "If nothing else, someone should have gone to explore the way for us first, I hope they won't be too useless." ”

Aurora scratched her head blankly, and finally gave up thinking completely, kicked away a piece of dirt on the side of the road, pointed in the direction of the manor, and said, "I don't understand, anyway, she said that you won't harm me, so that's fine." Come on, come on, this estate looks a little different. ”

The wilderness was empty, and it could be seen from the traces of the land that it should have been a large area of farmland, but by this time the land had long since dried up and cracked, and the huge cracks were like grinning mouths, and they were frantically laughing at the visitors of the present world.

Walking along the country road, getting closer and closer to the manor, it is quite a large manor, several villa-like four-story buildings are scattered in the open yard, surrounded by the surrounding farmland, but it is quite a bit of a farmhouse flavor.

But a short walk down the trail, Barb and Monica understand why Aurora is a little different.

Several trenches have been artificially excavated in the farmland, and the trenches form several concentric circles around the manor, protecting the manor in the center. On the inside of each trench was a defensive wall made of barbed wire, and above the iron fence were sharp steel nails, enough to discourage anyone from climbing over.

Not only the iron net, but also a lot of sharp nails were buried under the trenches, and some of them still had a lot of brown marks on them, although there were no corpses, but under the red mist at the edges, it was still chilling.

Between the trenches, there is only one path leading to the courtyard gate of the manor, and each trench is tightly blocked with sandbags and heavy metal horses at the corresponding position of the path, but at this time, many of these blocked obstacles are scattered crookedly aside, as if they have been slammed open, revealing the path leading to the inside.

The environment was unusually quiet, and the three of them even subconsciously breathed a lot lighter, and Babu whispered before the first rejection: "Hey, I think of Linda and Algan." ”

"Survivor camp?"

"Well, it feels like a survivor of a disaster is making a last stand." Babu sighed, not knowing why, but there was always a sense of melancholy in his heart, "But it is clear that they have failed. ”

It did fail, and the further you went, the more tragic it became, the sandbag walls were torn down, and several tons of metal horses were thrown into the trenches, and the ground became potholes and blood stains grew.

"What is this?" Monica knelt down on one knee and touched the cylindrical metal shells on the ground with the handle of her whip, which were bright yellow and were now covered in rust.

"It seems to be some kind of weapon in the original world on the edge." Monica habitually asked Babu, but it was Aurora who answered, and she also grabbed a metal case and played with it, "The people of East Valley City have found similar things in the edge a few times before, some of them are still brand new, and they are well maintained, and there are matching metal bumps, but I don't know why, all of them are useless. It is said that a passing scholar once mentioned that it seemed to be some kind of mismatch of energy rules. ”

"That's a shame."

Monica swept away the metal shell, got up and took Babu's hand without a trace, and squeezed it gently. The slight loss on Babu's face vanished, and he kicked open the metal shells all over the floor, and said softly, "yes, that's a pity." ”

"Regret what?" Aurora was baffled by what the two said.

"Nothing." Babu suddenly squatted down, his fingers groped for a few footprints on the ground, looked at Aurora's feet again, and smiled, "Many times, being deceived is often because of various desires and desires, and it is difficult for people who can restrain their desires to let them be fooled, and once the desires are out of control, it is not far from being deceived, unless he has no value in being deceived at all." ”

"Four more big fish on the bait?"

"It's just a small fish, and this one on the side is a big fish."

Aurora on the side looked tangled, tilted her head full of questions, and seriously considered it for the first time, whether it was better to have a little brain.

Beyond the last ditch, not far away is the gate of the manor, and at the end of the path, one left and the other right, facing two thick piles of sandbags, each with a metal pipe with a runner, and the metal shells on the ground are almost piled up into a hill. Babu stepped forward to look at the wheel, then flipped the switch on the metal pipe, but as Aurora said, there was only a clicking sound, and the metal pipe was also turning, but nothing else happened.

"Why is the atmosphere suddenly tense?" The gate of the manor was opened a crack, and there was also a dead silence inside, giving a very ominous sign. Several people subconsciously looked around to confirm that there were no mutants around, and then they breathed a sigh of relief, and Aurora pretended to be relaxed and said, "What did you just say about the fallen survivor camp?" There should have been a lot of deaths in there, but fortunately there weren't a lot of corpses lying inside, they were all mutants who hadn't woken up, hahahaha, if you open the door and take a look......"

"You'd better keep your mouth shut." Monica glared at her fiercely, "Normally, people who talk this kind of nonsense don't get anything good. ”

"Hey, trouble."

Taking advantage of Monica's back to her, Aurora secretly waved her fist, and just as she was about to enter, she was held down by Babu. She watched as Babu touched her hand, her gaze becoming more and more fierce, but Babu did not pay attention to her at all, just listening to the movements in the manor. Her eyes grew redder and redder, and just before she was about to erupt, Babu let go of her hand and whispered, "It shouldn't be so quiet, wait." ”

"Boom", sure enough, within a few minutes, the window of one of the buildings exploded outward, followed by a large amount of smoke and dust, and several familiar scolding voices came from the broken window, although the sound was not loud, but it was quite obvious in the silent environment, and it was impossible to ignore it.

"Just a few mutants? It's not enough to fight. Listening to him say it so seriously, I thought there would be at least an elite one. ”

"Be careful, Elvis, don't get entangled with the mutants, find what you used to do first. It can make a few people from King Vera pay attention, there must be something hidden here, hurry up and find it, let's run if we find it, and let them pounce. Bastard, dare to win our money, I will make him regret it for the rest of his life. ”

"You two don't shout, who knows if there are other mutants here, if there is really a big one hidden, then the four of us will regret it for the rest of our lives, shut up, search first."

"Pathfinder?"

The people inside were rummaging through the cabinets, and Aurora outside the courtyard gate was still confused at first, but the more she listened, the more wrong she became, pointing at the people inside, pointing at Babu, and she couldn't say a word when she grew upside down, just looked at Monica with a look for help. It wasn't until Monica smiled and nodded that she shivered, and quickly moved a little away from Babla, looking disgusted as if she was hiding something dirty.

"Can't they feel it?" Babu frowned and pointed to a small building next door where the voice came from, "Such an obvious high-energy reaction is not weaker than yesterday's giant, what are they looking for next door?" ”

"Huh?" Aurora looked at him even more strangely, and Monica also secretly punched him, and said angrily, "That's why you said that you are a natural observer, and I just feel a sense of coercion from such a distance, and you want to be beaten again in this tone, dead child." ”

At the same time that the two of them silently denounced Babu's evil behavior, four figures sneaked out of the previous small building, muttered a few words like fortunately they hadn't come, and then finally got into the mansion that Babu had pointed to before.

When they had been in for a while, Babu and Monica and the three of them took Anna and walked lightly, and also approached the mansion.

The Western-style pavilion is very large, and there are many rooms inside, and from the outside you can only see the transparent windows, many of which have been broken, and even the wooden planks nailed inside have been broken from the outside and hung on the window frames.

Barb pointed to herself, then to the window, Monica to herself, and then to Aurora, giving him a thumbs up. Babu smiled and rested his left hand lightly on the windowsill, which was shattered and littered with broken glass inside and out, but Babu's movements were silent, not even a single sound of stepping on glass.

A few minutes later, Babu's hand waved at the window, and Monica pulled Aurora, and the whip reached through the window, wrapped around Babu's hand, and with a little force, the two of them entered through the window.

The floor had been cleared out of a glassless space by Babu, and the two of them landed gently and silently, finding that it had once been a study, and that it had been turned over and messed up, and there were still a lot of messy new footprints on the dust on the ground. Through the closed door, the sound of several people rummaging through several nearby rooms can be heard.

Monica dragged Aurora, and the two hid by the door, waiting for a battle to break out outside, while Babu walked to the desk in the middle of the study, looked down at the few papers on the table, and finally left the desk and walked towards Monica, with a rather strange expression.

"This is another kind of text, not too familiar, barely understood." In the face of Monica's questioning eyes, Babu simply put it in her ear and said, "That's the suicide note of the owner of the manor, saying that the stronghold can't be defended, and something will break it tonight, and everyone will become that kind of thing." Everyone has given up and taken advantage of the last chance to be alive to do a final in the ballroom. She dressed in her best attire, drank poisoned wine after the last dance with her husband, and hoped to go somewhere after death, but ......"

"Huh?"

"The suicide note was stopped before it was finished." Babu sighed and whispered, "Maybe something unexpected happened." ”

"So, didn't you make the last dance?"

"Wow~" The exclamation of a woman among the four people sounded from a position not far from the study, as if something terrible had been found, followed by a burst of messy footsteps, and the woman hurriedly ran into the room opposite the study.

Babu opened the door of the study a crack, and the three eyes peeked out in a row, and opposite the study was a rather large auditorium, perhaps the dance hall mentioned in the suicide note, and the other three were all checking in the dance hall, while the other woman carried a jewel necklace in her hand and hurried in.

"Look what I've found." The woman happily waved her necklace.

Through the crack in the door, you can see that it is indeed a very beautiful necklace, a huge ruby several circles larger than a copper coin has been cut into a heart, and it is set in the center of the necklace, constantly flickering with the changing light in the room, emitting a mysterious and charming light.

When the other three saw the necklace, they also smiled in surprise, but the next moment, the smile froze on their faces, and the cheer turned into an exclamation, as a distorted shadow suddenly fell from the sky and swooped down on the woman holding the necklace.
