Chapter 69: The Abandoned Land
A cold wind penetrated through the open car door, Lin Xiao took a deep breath, and many people sped up their steps and rushed to the car door, but no one rushed down.
After all this time, no one dares to be rash and impulsive anymore.
Looking out through the door, you can see the solid walls on both sides, extending forward to form a large passage, which is very dark and calm at the moment, although there is not the slightest human figure, but everyone is excited.
"The station, you see, this is the real stationβ"
Inside the carriage, someone shouted excitedly, and then ran down the door.
Lin Xiao also exhaled lightly, he could also see that this should be a real train station, although it seemed to be a small scale, but it was far more formal than the humble station in the "Poisonous Mist Swamp" at that time, so that people could see at a glance that this was a real train station.
Wu Wenxu mentioned Fang Zhirong, who was still snoring like thunder, and said with a smile: "Comrade Fang, get up soon, we are really going home, ha, haha." Wu Wenxu also looked very excited, and dragged Fang Zhirong down.
Fang Zhirong was not fully awake yet, and he was fascinated: "Don't make noise with me, I am dreaming of eating roast chicken...... Wake me up when I'm done eating......"
Lin Xiao, Sun Yaojie, Wen Ningxuan, Ye Dongling, Zhao Tianyang, Fang Xinyi, Han Yu, Zhang You and others walked down from the carriage one after another, when everyone got off the train, the door of the ghost train was closed again, a large amount of steam jet, followed by a sudden "boom" loud sound, the ghost train continued to move forward, and soon ran away from here.
The station looked much more formal, with thick walls on both sides forming a huge passage exit, with ceilings on it, everything was familiar, and it seemed that they had really returned to the world they once familiarized.
However, after being excited for a while, Lin Xiao, Sun Yaojie and others were immediately attracted by a bulletin board hanging on it.
On the bulletin board, it is written.
"Previous Stop: Poison Mist Swamp, Abandoned, Ticket: Sand Earthworm's Fang. β
"This station: a desert town, abandoned, ghost train, every four days, round trip through this station. β
"Next Stop: Unknown, Ticket: Infant Beast Phantom Beast. β
When they saw the information on the bulletin board, Lin Xiao, Sun Yaojie, Zhao Tianyang and others were stunned.
Then, Sun Yaojie took a long breath and muttered: "Sure enough, as I expected, we did not escape from this strange world, we were still forced to reincarnate in it, each playing its own role, heh, hehe, I just didn't expect that the poisonous mist swamp was a place that had been abandoned? And here, this desert town, was also abandoned? β
It seems that seeing the information in front of him, Sun Yaojie is not too surprised, he has not reported optimism in the first place, and he does not think that it is possible to escape everything when he arrives at the next stop and return to the familiar reality of the world.
Fang Xinyi sighed: "No wonder the station in the Poisonous Mist Swamp is so dilapidated, but it was already an abandoned place? I don't know what the next stop here is? What is the ticket 'Infant Beast Body Phantom Beast'?"
At this moment, there are already many people walking along this big passage to the exit, Sun Yaojie glanced at it from a distance, and said: "It's useless to think about it now, the next time the ghost train appears, it will be four days later, let's go to this so-called desert town first, I hope to find something." β
"Since it's a small town, it should be better than the Poison Mist Swamp. Sun Tianen, who was short in stature, interjected.
"Well, hopefully. Zhao Tianyang responded, and then walked towards the exit in front of him.
Nearly 200 people, walking about 30 meters along the exit of the main passage, left the dark passage exit, and appeared in front of everyone were buildings under the thick spore dust.
These buildings, the tallest of which is no more than three floors, are covered in spore dust, like a venerable multicolored beast crouching on the ground, these buildings are gathered together horizontally and vertically, and the high walls on the far periphery surround everything, at a glance, this is a standard town full of quaint atmosphere.
Although it is a village and town, it does not have the slightest breath of human habitation, and everywhere is a dead silence and gloom. ,
The sky was dark, it was already late at night, the faint moonlight could be faintly seen in the sky, nearly two hundred people walked out of the exit of the passage of the station, and then followed the oncoming road, walking through the dilapidated buildings, everywhere was a dilapidated scene and atmosphere, here, it was indeed like an abandoned town.
It may have been inhabited by humans, but now, it has become an abandoned ruin.
The town is small, no more than a few hundred meters long, with an empty square in the center, two wells, and dozens of dilapidated houses scattered around the square, and in addition to the best-preserved station passage and the tall wall that encloses the whole town.
The walls are thick and tall, at least nearly four meters high, so that everyone can barely see the outside of the town.
"Look, there's water in the well here!"
When the group explored and walked to the empty square in the center, they found two wells, Wu Wenxu glanced down, picked up a small stone and threw it, heard the sound of water, and then shouted excitedly.
No matter where you go, the water source is the most important thing, and the hearing of the water in these two wells lifted everyone's spirits.
"You see, there are hemp ropes, slings and buckets on top of this well, although it looks a little dilapidated, but it is still usable, so it can be seen that even if this town is abandoned, it should not be too long. Zhao Tianyang walked to a well, and after careful analysis, he said in a deep voice, with some excitement in his tone.
"Yes, if the abandonment is not long, we may be able to find some of the information we need here that will help us understand this world full of uncanny things. Sun Yaojie immediately thought of another question, and he was also a little excited.
Wu Wenxu had already begun to carry the bucket that was hanging by hemp rope, went deep into the well, and then filled a bucket full of water.
Wen Ningxuan stretched out her fingers, and a flame rose from between her fingers, with the help of the faint moonlight and the light of this flame, she could clearly see that the water in this bucket appeared to be very clear and should be drinkable.
Wu Wenxu was the first to try to take a sip, he had the phantom beast, and even the poison of the earth snake beast couldn't poison him casually, so even if there was a problem with this water, he was not very afraid.
Sun Yaojie was a little uneasy, glared at him, and said, "You are too impulsive, we can use other methods to test this well water." β
Wu Wenxu said with a smile: "You don't need to be so cautious at all, I took a sip, everyone will wait, if I am fine, then this water can be drunk." β
Fang Xinyi said strangely: "Don't you think it's strange? At that time, there were still some people who were on another ghost train, and they should have arrived in this desert town earlier than us, why didn't they see anyone?"
When Fang Xinyi said this, the others also became strange. Fang Zhirong touched his cheeks and said, "Fang Xinyi, could it be that they went to different places?"
"It shouldn't be likely, the Stoneclaw Lair should be the starting station, the poisonous mist swamp is the second station, this desert town is the third station, those people came more than half a day earlier than us, they can't say that they went to different places...... Well, let's go outside, maybe they found something and went somewhere else. β
As soon as Sun Yaojie's words fell, not far away, someone suddenly exclaimed: "Look, there's something outside." β
Lin Xiao and the others heard the voice, looked over from a distance, but saw that there was a huge black gate on the tall wall, at this moment the huge gate was wide open, leading to the periphery, just now someone walked to the side of the giant gate, looking outside, it seemed that there was something to find, and couldn't help but scream.
Hearing this shout, Lin Xiao, Sun Yaojie, Zhao Tianyang, Fang Xinyi, Wu Wenxu, Fang Zhirong and others immediately rushed to the giant gate.
Wu Wenxu's right hand clenched into a fist, and he said with some excitement and nervousness: "Grandma's, is there any danger again?"
He now has a "mid-hatching" phantom beast, which contains ten manpower in his body, which is not trivial, and even has some itchy hands, looking forward to fighting.
Running to the door, everyone noticed that the huge gate was engraved with a sign of "North Gate", and these two doors seemed to be wrapped in iron sheets, which looked extremely hard.
Although it was already late at night, with the help of the faint moonlight, everyone could still see that outside the giant gate, there was a desert with no edge in sight, and there was yellow sand and layers of sand dunes everywhere. ,
This town is known as the "Desert Town", and as it really lives, it was actually built in the middle of a desert.
About a hundred and ten steps away from the wall and the giant gate, there were blood stains everywhere, and the corpses were lying there one by one, and when Lin Xiao and the others walked out of the giant gate and walked all the way, they all took a slight breath.
The dozens of people who arrived here half a day before them were all lying here, but they were all turned into corpses.
"They're all dead. Sun Yaojie took a light breath and said, "After they came here, they should have also checked the town, and then they saw that the door was open, so they came out to take a look, and then they were attacked and all died here." β
Sun Tianen muttered, "Who attacked them? These corpses don't have that kind of large wounds, as if they weren't killed by large beasts like stoneclawed beasts." β
As soon as Wen Ningxuan stretched out her hand, a ball of fire rose between her palms and fingers, and then, she squatted for a moment, looked at a corpse, and said in shock: "It was poisoned to death, Earth Snake Beast?"
Lin Xiao also looked over, and suddenly found that he could see clearly in the firelight, the body of the deceased was jet black, obviously poisoned to death.
"No, after the earth snake beast bites a person, the deceased's whole body will be yellowish, and black spots will appear, but these corpses are jet black, it should not be the earth snake beast......"
Sun Yaojie said: "Look here, what a big tooth mark ......"
As soon as he said this, suddenly, everyone felt that something was wrong with the surrounding sand surface, and Lin Xiao suddenly shouted: "Everyone be careful-"
