Lin Fan stood on the top of the bell tower, raised his gloved left hand in the air, and stood motionless for a long time.
When he took his hand back again, the glove was already covered with fine black-gray slag.
He took off the gloves and put them in a bag. After returning to the room in the bell tower, he closed the doors and windows, opened the bag again, took out the gloves, put them under his nose and sniffed carefully.
Very faint breath, not to mention in a strong wind, even in a confined space, it is not easy for ordinary people to notice it.
This is the breath of ashes.
The head's footsteps came from the stairs, Lin Fan shook the glove and put it back in his pocket.
"Do you have time?" The group leader asked standing outside the door.
"Yes," Lin Fan walked to the door, "What's the matter?"
"I'm going to the basement," said the captain, "you can come with me."
Lin Fan stood still.
"Just look around," said the group leader. "Travelers who have been patrolling recently have found abnormalities several times. They can't tell whether it's the aborigines or the previous experimental body."
"Where's Li Xiang?" Lin Fan asked.
"You are my deputy." The head of the team turned and walked down the stairs after speaking.
Lin Fan silently followed behind the leader, walked straight forward, passed through several shelters, followed a string of dimly lit small lanterns, walked to the end of the road, and then walked into the metal cemetery. Walk through the shadows of eerie waste.
The further you go, the stronger the wind.
In addition to the sound of the wind and sundries hitting the wind from time to time, I can hear some thin sounds that seem to be drifting out of this world.
It's like chaotic dream talk, like a trance laugh, and occasionally a few times with a sharp scratch across the ground...
The wind in Tongue Bay is stronger than other places, but it still can't blow through the darkness that covers the sky and the sun.
"Have you not been here for a long time?" The leader asked as he walked along the edge of darkness.
"It's been a long time." Lin Fan said.
"It's better to come and have a look during this time," said the team leader, "The car may not be able to arrive at any time, and nothing can happen until Ning Gu is found."
"After finding Ning Gu?" Lin Fan asked.
The captain turned to look at him.
"You promised to keep Baoning Valley safe." Lin Fan said.
The head of the group stared at him: "You are the one who asked him to go to the main city again. Are you telling me this now?"
"I may not have asked him to go," Lin Fan said, "but it's better to go sooner than later. I still stick to my original opinion, don't hide it, and give him a chance to choose."
"Then he will choose to seek death!" The leader glared at him.
Suddenly there was a broken guttural sound in the darkness on the right, less like a voice, more like the vibration of a cavity in the body.
The captain made a cautious gesture.
Both of them stopped talking and didn't move, carefully identifying the direction of the voice.
Then he shot at the same time, the group leader's attack caused the black mist to whirl chaotically in the wind, Lin Fan leaned over and waved his hand violently, aimed at the target in the black mist, and hit a mass of things, even without Let that thing make any noise.
After all the surrounding noises subsided, the head of the group walked over.
A gray-white humanoid creature on the ground had already started to rot in just a few tens of seconds. The skin slowly detached from the skeleton and turned into black fragments, which were quickly blown away by the wind.
Then the skeleton began to dissipate little by little.
After a few minutes, no traces could be seen on the ground.
"It's already been polluted," Lin Fan squatted down to look, "This is no longer an aborigine, and already has a self-destruct gene."
The head of the group didn't speak, but just glanced into the depths of the black mist.
"We can't let the main city send things over." Lin Fan said.
"No need," said the captain.
Lin Fan turned to look at him.
"Do your own thing," the leader turned and walked back, "Don't just stay in the room all day, come out and see the world, step by step, where you are going."
"No matter where you go, it's inevitable." Lin Fan stood up.
"There is no such necessity," said the head of the regiment, "everything must be fought for by oneself."
"Are you hungry?" Ning Gu asked.
"Hungry." Lian Chuan replied.
"Then how can you just sit still like this?" Ning Gu looked at him.
"I'm more hungry when I move," Lian Chuan said.
"No," Ning Gu was a little speechless, "Go out and find something to eat!"
"Steal? Or steal?" Lian Chuan asked.
"Whatever," Ning Gu stood up, bowing his waist, "At least change the hole? You can't even stand upright in this hole!"
It doesn't make any sense to change another hole, Lian Chuan still sits like a robot that dialed the phone after entering, and Ning Gu walks out of the second hole.
"I want to eat," he announced from the mouth of the cave.
"Are you okay?" Lian Chuan asked.
Ning Gu's mood has been very low, before he declared that he was hungry.
"You have to eat, too," Ning Gu said, "When I was in the ghost town, I was hung on the bell tower for several days, and I still ate without missing a meal."
"How to eat." Lian Chuan asked.
"Look for someone to throw the nails up for me," Ning Gu picked a random path and walked forward, anyway, it doesn't matter now, the owner of Lost Valley has seen it, and even the head of the group may become a plotter, "Travel They are not as useless as the people in the main city."
"The one who was with you last time?" Lian Chuan asked.
"That's Hammer, Nail's older brother," Ning Gu said, "I have a good relationship with him, but not as good as Nail. When I ran out this time, Nail cried..."
Ning Gu stopped in the middle of the talk and didn't continue talking.
After walking in silence for a while, he turned his head and glanced at Lian Chuan: "Have you ever cried?"
"No." Lian Chuan replied.
"So... it hurts," Ning Gu said, "Didn't you cry when you were so young?"
"No," Lian Chuan paused, "If you show weakness, you will die."
Ning Gu stopped and looked at him: "I see."
Lian Chuan continued to walk forward.
"That person said, can you lower your mental power, and the other person said no, the pain value has reached a critical point." Ning Gu chased after him, "They use pain to reduce your mental power, right, it's too strong for those experimental subjects Can't take it."
Lian Chuan didn't make a sound.
"But you can't intensify the pain all the time," Ning Gu said, "because you refuse to show weakness. If you exceed the critical point, you might explode."
"En." Lian Chuan finally responded.
"What is the critical point?" Ning Gu asked.
Lian Chuan felt a little unbelievable: "Didn't you already say it?"
"Oh," Ning Gu was a little confused, "Oh?"
The conversation didn't go any further, and after walking for a while, people began to appear, bats, homeless people, seemingly wandering around aimlessly.
When walking past a small trading hall, Lian Chuan was about to see if there was any food to exchange, when Ning Gu touched his arm and stopped.
"Is that a painting?" Ning Gu pointed to a pile of things on the ground.
Lian Chuan looked over, and there was a piece of paper under the messy pile of tatters, with some colorful marks on it.
"That's..." Before Lian Chuan could finish speaking, Ning Gu had already bent down and pulled the things away, and picked up the piece of paper.
It's just a few roads drawn casually with colored pens.
Ning Gu threw the paper back with some disappointment.
"What painting do you want?" Lian Chuan asked.
"A real painting," Ning Gu said, "the ones that have color, you can tell what it is...not a mess..."
"There will be no Lost Valley." Lian Chuan said.
"Why?" Ning Gu frowned.
"That is the privilege of the main city, just like plants and animals." Lian Chuan said.
"Shameless." Ning Gu was a little angrily, "A painting also needs privileges."
"Because no one can draw anymore." Lian Chuan said.
Ning Gu was very disappointed, and when he was disappointed, he became even hungrier.
"Over there," Lian Chuan suddenly looked into a tunnel, "there is a tavern."
"Do you want to drink?" Ning Gu saw a big liquor sign, "I don't want to drink, it's too bad, sweet water is okay."
"There is food in the tavern." Lian Chuan walked over there.
"Do you have common currency?" Ning Gu asked, "Didn't you say you don't have any? You actually lied to me?"
"No." Lian Chuan said.
"Snatch?" Ning Gu immediately became interested, and his depressed mood finally picked up a bit.
Lian Chuan didn't answer, and went straight into the tavern.
Although Lian Chuan didn't say how to rob things, Ning Gu still has a lot of experience in robbing things. As long as Lian Chuan's speed can cooperate, they can be invincible in robbing things in Lost Valley.
"Is there anything to eat?" Lian Chuan stood in front of the bar.
This tavern is not as senior as the poet I met before. The waiter's dress looks no different from that of an ordinary bat, and the metal pieces on his face are a little rusty.
"Ration or Lost Valley Special?" the waiter asked.
"Ration, two." Lian Chuan said.
"Ten common coins." The waiter looked at them.
"No." Lian Chuan said.
Standing in the back, Ning Gu wanted to throw Lian Chuan out of the tavern. Before the thing was brought out, he told people that he couldn't afford it, so how could he grab it
The two of them will be kicked out in the next second!
What hyena is this? The brain is not as solid as that of Nine Wings.
"Go and tell Nine Wings that we are here," Lian Chuan said, "he will give you a bounty."
The waiter stared at them for ten seconds, then turned and took out two rations from behind, threw them in front of them, and gestured behind them.
A bunch of bats appeared from nowhere in the tavern, closed the door of the tavern, and surrounded them.
"Okay," Ning Gu nodded, "Your method of robbing is more elegant, first call everyone here before robbing."
"Eat." Lian Chuan took a ration and opened it.
The familiar shape of the food did not move him, but the memory of those days made him despair.
"It's quite delicious," Ning Gu bit a piece in his mouth, "Let's go, Nine Wings will really come here in a while, they know the way, and the black ring is fast, so it's troublesome to fight."
"Wait for Nine Wings to come." Lian Chuan said.
"Farewell," Ning Gu said, "You can't go too far, Jiuyi bullies you once."
"If you want to go out, you have to let him lead the way, so that he knows which exit is safe to go out from." Lian Chuan said.
There was a flash of orange light in Li Liang's scope, which was the patrol's weapon.
"Why is the patrol here?" He sent his coordinates.
The cleaning team received Lei Yu's order, and people were arranged at the several exits of the lost valley in the main city and the passageway of the Black Iron Wasteland, and they were on duty during non-duty hours. If Lianchuan appeared, they had to be found immediately.
But now the patrol was also present near the exit.
"Report the situation at each point," Long Biao's voice came out, "The patrol team will not be in Area D at this time."
Several groups quickly got feedback, not only the patrol team, but also the city guards appeared near their guard point.
"What do you mean?" Luo Pan asked, "Is this a robbery?"
Everyone knows that if Lian Chuan comes out alone, it means that his mission has failed, and Lian Chuan, who has never failed before, fails in such a mission, and no one can imagine the consequences.
Although the cleanup team has always been unpopular, and even internally they may not be convinced by each other, but protecting teammates is the admonition they have kept in mind since the day they joined the cleanup team, which is why they can win various dangerous mission targets.
They need to see Lianchuan as soon as possible. If the Lianchuan mission fails, they want to keep their teammates as much as possible.
"It's too much," Jiang Xiaogan said, "Lian Chuan is a member of the cleaning team. No matter what the task is, shouldn't he report to the cleaning team first and then deal with it?"
"Where is the cat?" Long Biao asked, "Lian Chuan and the cat still have a communication device, as a spare."
"How do you know?" Li Liang asked.
"Is there anything I don't know?" Long Biao was upset, "Is he very profound? It's just a trick."
"Look for the boss," Li Liang said, "Let the boss inform Lianchuan immediately that there are city guards and patrols outside."
