Chapter 5: Doomsday City
In front of you is a medieval-like city. This is nothing, from Hasuo's body, Quan Hao has already come to a similar conclusion. But at this very moment, it is clear that the city is experiencing the most terrible devastation. To his right and in front of him, a quarter of the city was in ruins. Behind it, almost a quarter is still burning. The fire kicked up a choking smoke that turned the entire sky gray.
Even the remaining half of the city on the left is not intact. The houses are mostly dilapidated. The muddy streets are potholed, and the eaves on both sides are littered with rubbish and debris. This garbage should be cleaned up from the streets. Because it can't be sent away, it can only be hastily piled in the corner. This makes the already narrow streets even more cramped.
And less than three hundred meters in front of Quan Hao, there is a city wall that is not very tall. The walls are sparsely guarded. There were also six or seven trebuchets. Even these rather rudimentary-looking trebuchets are mostly unusable. Only two of them are still functioning normally. **People wrapped in yellow scarves surrounded them, shouting uneven trumpets, and threw more than a dozen pounds of stones out of the wall amid the terrible sound of trebuchets.
Soon Quan Hao heard two dull loud noises, followed by sporadic screams. The sound was very weird, not much like a human, but a bit like a duck croaking.
Because the view was blocked by the city wall, Quan Hao did not know what exactly the stone hit. Soon he heard the shouts of the guards on the ramparts. Quan Hao didn't understand what he was shouting, but he could hear the anxiety and panic in people's voices. When it was too late, I saw that outside the city wall, a huge stone weighing hundreds of catties was thrown high, whistling, tumbling and spinning, and was smashing into one of the only two remaining trebuchets in the city. The broom smashed the trebuchet and its loaders to the ground. By the way, Quan Hao, who was far away, was so shocked that his ears were numb and he almost fell.
The walls where the boulders swept past were already bloody. Even so, its energy was not fully released, and after jumping into the city wall, it rolled over and jumped out of about two hundred meters, crashing headlong into a two-story stone building that was already in danger. The smoke and dust rose everywhere in place, and the stone building shook twice, and it completely collapsed.
Now Quan Hao knew what caused the ruins in front of him.
For him, the heavens and the earth are like the earth, but in Hasoona is not even the slightest wave. The adjutant didn't frown a bit, and took Quan Hao through the streets and alleys, walking like flying. But the traverser can only try his best to keep up.
Along the way, Quan Hao passed by many people. Most of these people were ragged and thin-skinned. Each of them carried a bamboo basket behind his back, and the basket was almost entirely full of tattered military supplies. Although many were faltering, they all marched slowly but firmly. From them, the traverser seems to be able to see the peculiar sadness of those who do not succumb to fate.
Almost all of these people are women, children and the elderly. Where the men went, it goes without saying.
Eventually, Hasuo brought the traveler to a relatively intact stone house. There stood a chubby old woman.
"Aunt Mia, I'm alive again. He's not very reliable, though. This guy was secretly hiding in a cabin when I appeared, and I felt like a coward. What do you want him to do, you look at the arrangement. ”
Jeon Ho was not very happy. He is not without temper. is always called a coward and a coward, and it is impossible not to have a pimple in his heart. But what he saw along the way, the tragic fate of people pierced his heart. Coupled with the unspeakable secret of being a traverser, he finally endured it. Of course, the face is not very good.
Fortunately, this Aunt Mia belongs to a hearty character. Not only did he not show the traverser's face, but he smiled and started a round.
"Ha, how can you talk like that? Apologize to others. Otherwise, Auntie won't make you your favorite pea cake. He is obviously a brave and good boy. I have told you long ago that this is a war for each and every one of us. Everyone will find their place. It's just that some people are earlier, and some people are later. ”
Standing in front of her, Quan Hao realized that this aunt was actually not fat. It's just that she has a wide skeleton similar to the white aunt on the earth, and her body is very burly, which is easy to give people the illusion.
Hasuo was in awe of this aunt. Reluctantly, he nodded at the traverser. Just apologize. He snorted to himself, turned and entered the stone house.
Quan Hao nodded noncommittally. He also does not want to conflict with others. Compared with Hasuo, it was this elderly Aunt Mia who made him look sideways. He already knew what the situation was like in this unknown city. It is not too much to describe the end of the world. Although for reasons unknown to the traverser, her inhabitants persisted. But most people describe it as a kind of stoic that borders on numbness. The only thing special is this Aunt Mia. Not only did there not show a trace of tiredness on that ordinary face, but also a warm smile often bloomed.
While Quan Hao was quietly observing, the other party had already greeted him warmly. "Look, what a handsome young man. Unfortunately, now is not the time, and if there is no war, I guarantee that half the girls of the city will revolve around you. Yo, it's still a pretty black head. This is rare to see in our Streamer City. ”
At the end of the day, the traverser suddenly realized a problem. The people of this city are closer to the white people of the planet, and he is typical of Asia. Obviously a stranger to the city, during the war, there was not even a single person to check his identity. Not only that, Aunt Mia immediately classified him into the category of her own people. In this regard, even Hasuo, who spoke ill of him, was no exception.
At this time, Aunt Mia put away her smile and looked at him sympathetically. "Looks like you've come from far away, well, damn Cindick. But that's okay, here you can treat everyone as your own family. We're all doing it at this trying time. By the way, you can call me Aunt Mia like Haso. So what should I call you?"
It's this 'Cindick' again, and Jeon Ho wants to know what 'Cindick' is. According to Hasuo, they eat people. But if you can make a catapult that is more powerful than a human being, it must be an intelligent race. Are there two intelligent races in this world? Or are there more? Then it's complicated. Will there be gods, devils, just like in fantasy novels. He can't ask, that's tantamount to a direct confession: I don't belong to this world, so I can't understand your habits and common sense. Listening and watching more, and being cautious is the way to survive as a time-traveling person with a great secret.
