Smack!

Chen Mu picked up a ring, blew away the dust on it, and looked at it carefully.

This ring is not a valuable item, it has a rough style, it is a simple metal ring with spikes on it, similar to the fingered tiger used in gangster fights.

In the wasteland, no warrior with a little combat power would use such an inferior weapon, and only the scum of the slums would wear such jewelry.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Mu was able to find more metal personal belongings in the slums, but those more expensive jewelry, weapons, and personal belongings are not easy to leave behind.

It's not that they've been taken away, it's that there are very few metal things in these valuables.

For example, the most common weapons, but all those of the higher grade, are very few pure metal products, most of them are made of parts from mutant beasts, because the compatibility of metal with European gas is very general, far inferior to mutant beast materials with suitable attributes.

This reminds Chen Mu of an old game in his previous life, it seems to be called Monster Hunter or something, the weapons and equipment in it are mainly based on the raw materials on the monsters, although there are also metal products, but they are all low-level goods, and the high-level equipment is all made of high-level monster body parts as raw materials without exception.

In this world, there is also this trend, due to the inheritance of scientific and technological civilization, there are no high-tech weapons here, and even thermal weapons are extremely rare.

Even if there were, the vast majority of low-level thermal weapons could not be able to defeat Ou Qi and martial arts, and as for high-end goods, such as Gundam and Space Fortress, they had already been washed away by the long river of time with the destruction of the Sky Dynasty.

So far, Chen Mu has seen a small number of remnants of scientific and technological civilization in the crow ghost, which is still biased towards biochemical machinery, and is not much stronger than human warriors of the same level, and he is also following the path of European qi and martial arts, but relying on steel hearts and breeding equipment to drive and amplify.

It is also for this reason that any martial artist with a little wealth is unlikely to wear low-grade metal equipment.

As for jewelry and small objects such as rings and necklaces, they are also respected for the parts of powerful mutant beasts, and things such as gold and gems are not very useful in the wasteland, and even boasting of wealth and bravery are not needed for these shiny wastes.

In the current "mechanical maze", the least affected by the unknown negative force field is precisely the metal items.

Those high-end and high-grade mutant beast materials are essentially flesh and bones, even if they are made into weapons and equipment, after various special treatments, they will still be corroded by the rich negative energy, leaving no traces.

"At least judging from the current situation, I am afraid that few living people in the city can escape, and the weak people here in the slums should be dead, and most of the metal items left behind are theirs. ”

Chen Mu threw away the ring and couldn't help frowning, the situation in the city was getting weirder and weirder.

According to the woman, she had been guarding the city for several days, and had not found half of the people who had escaped from the city.

However, based on Chen Mu's observations and speculations along the way, at the beginning of this crisis, the negative energy in the city was not as strong as it is now.

In other words, there is a process of diffusion and deepening of these negative energies, and they are not all killed in seconds at the beginning.

And the living people in the city are not stupid, even if those weak can't escape, there are always some masters who have time to escape.

Even if you take 10,000 steps back, those who are in the depths of the city may be shrouded in the source of the crisis and hang up before they have time to escape.

But those who are on the periphery, such as the city gate area at the time, definitely have the opportunity and time to escape from the city.

Chen Mu did not find a few metal personal belongings in the previous city gate area, so it was also speculated that the people who were in the vicinity at that time, especially some martial artists with decent strength, should have fled here.

But the woman said that she had been squatting for several days, and had not found even half of the living people outside, and that she was not reconciled, and had searched farther away from the periphery, but had not found any living creatures at all.

At this point, Chen Mu also believed that he himself had come all the way from the "Doom Corner", and in this area close to the "Mechanical Maze", he had indeed not encountered any living creatures until the black-robed woman attacked him.

"MMP, this is weird, could it be that when the incident happened, the people in the city were stupid and didn't know how to run out?"

Chen Mu secretly complained, but this possibility is almost none, there must be fools, but it is impossible for the entire city to be fools.

Then there is only another explanation, such as the time of the incident, in addition to the strange negative force field that can be felt now, it is likely that something else happened that made it impossible for everyone to leave the city.

Even more terrifying, not only will it be impossible for the people inside the city to leave, but it may also be able to attract creatures from outside the city and let them fall into the net.

Otherwise, there will be no strange situation that there are no living creatures in a large area outside the city, even if it is not to attract, but to scare away the living creatures outside the city, then it is impossible for a living creature fleeing all the way to not meet it, right?

In such a strange and terrifying situation, Chen Mu's scalp was numb when he thought about it, in the face of such an unknown danger, even if he had the hole card to refresh the resurrection coin, he didn't dare to say that he would definitely be able to escape.

But even so, he still stubbornly continued to go deep into the city, not that he had Sherlock Holmes obsessive-compulsive disorder, but that there was only one truth to figure out.

But the threat of the black-robed woman is still vivid, yes, the unknown danger in the city is indeed terrifying, but that woman is by no means a vegetarian.

Chen Mu could feel that this woman still hid a lot of things that she didn't say, for example, she said that she had seen Yang Tianyuan not long ago, and this sentence revealed a lot of inside information.

Yang Tianyuan is the prince of the backing mountain, and it is by no means something that ordinary people can see when they want to, not to mention that this woman was probably in the city at the time, but she was able to escape, and it was only for some reason that she stayed to find out the source of this crisis.

To have such strength and means, coupled with the weird thunder light before, not only can he directly block the sea of consciousness, but the system white light that has not even alarmed his eyebrows is simply an unbelievable terrifying means.

Considering these, Chen Mu felt that the woman's previous threat was not necessarily groundless, it was likely that the other party really had some backhand, and the danger was not low.

In this case, it must be a great risk to continue to go deep into the city, but even if you turn around and run now, you still have to face the unknown means of that woman.

Which of the two is more dangerous, it's not good to say, and your hole card is to refresh the resurrection coin, anyway, it's better to go in and solve the puzzle.
