The First Order

Chapter 73: Civilization before the catastrophe

Views:

In the gloomy woods, the sound of the leaves rubbing against each other was like some terrifying creature moving through the canopy. Everyone held their breath looking at the weird white figure in front of them, as if they were afraid that their "anger" would provoke others. other side.

Why would there be a woman scratching the tree with her back turned to them in this kind of place? Everyone couldn't figure it out.

But the more he couldn't figure it out, the deeper the fear in his heart became.

Ren Xiaosu found that it was the first time that Yang Xiaojin next to him was so nervous. He could see the other party's pursed lips, and the other party's hand holding the gun was a little white due to excessive force.

Xu Xianchu's gray shadow was right in front of him, as if he was guarding against the woman in white who would suddenly pounce on him, but the woman was still tens of meters away from them.

"Detour?" Ren Xiaosu whispered, "Maybe she won't follow us."

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew up in the woods, and the body of the woman in white seemed to be floating out of thin air.

Xu Xianchu gritted his teeth and said: "We can't hide, if this little brat stops us, why go to Jingshan!"

Saying that, seeing Xu Xianchu driving the gray shadow towards the woman in white one after the other, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin looked at each other, neither of them expected Xu Xianchu to be so brave in this situation.

Some people usually talk about hype, but they feel guilty, nervous, and timid when they face major events. But some people are different, the more dangerous they are, the calmer they become, and there is a ruthlessness in their bones!

"Follow," Ren Xiaosu said.

The next moment, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin followed Xu Xianchu tacitly. They are now grasshoppers on the same rope, so they can't watch Xu Xianchu take risks alone.

Liu Bu tremblingly said, "What shall we do? Follow?"

"What if that kind of thing appears around us?" Luo Xinyu said in fear, and after she finished speaking, she also followed, followed closely by Wang Lei.

Seeing himself being left alone, Liu Bu became even more frightened, so he whispered, "Wait for me!"

Ren Xiaosu said behind Xu Xianchu: "Once you find that you can't match, use your gray shadow to trap her and buy us time to focus on her."

Xu Xianchu, Ren Xiaosu, and Yang Xiaojin all had guns on their bodies. For the time being, this was the strongest attack method on everyone's face. If this woman in white is not afraid of bullets, then everyone has nothing to do!

Xu Xianchu responded in a low voice: "Okay... I'll leave my back to you, pay attention to your surroundings."

Ren Xiaosu was a little puzzled, maybe the people in the barrier had never experienced the life in a market town, so they were more likely to trust others than the refugees.

Sleeping in a market town requires someone to watch the night. It is impossible for people who grow up in this environment to hand over their backs to others.

Is this the difference between a market town and a rampart

The three cautiously approached the woman in white, but the closer they got, the more weird they felt...

Originally, Ren Xiaosu was bent over, because this posture is the easiest to exert strength, but now he stands on the spot and slowly straightens up: "What the hell is this?"

Xu Xianchu was also stunned, he drove the gray shadow towards the "woman in white" swaggeringly, and directly "picked" her off the tree...

It's a... tattered plastic doll of a woman, sort of like an inflatable one.

"Uh," Ren Xiaosu walked to Xu Xianchu's side and looked at it for a long time: "What is this?"

"I don't know," Xu Xianchu shook his head, none of them had seen this thing before, so they all expressed their ignorance: "But it looks dilapidated."

Ren Xiaosu asked: "Isn't it something in the barrier?"

"I haven't seen it in the barrier," Xu Xianchu denied again.

Everyone was lost in thought for this puppet, they were a little bit dumbfounded, just such a crap thing scared them all just now! It wasn't until they got closer that they realized something was wrong!

"Wait, there's something under the tree," Ren Xiaosu accidentally saw an iron box at the gnarled root of the tree.

Ren Xiaosu poked the rusty iron box with a dagger, but the iron box was already rotten and crumbled to pieces with the slightest touch of the dagger.

Inside the iron box were a few pieces of reddish paper. When the iron box was broken, the paper pieces also turned into powder along with the iron box. In a blink of an eye, only one object was left in the iron box.

It was a piece of green plastic, or two pieces of plastic wrapped together a piece of green paper, and the green paper was painted with crooked, tadpole-like mysterious lines.

"This..." Xu Xianchu stared at the 'plastic sheet' in Ren Xiaosu's hand for a moment, "Is this something left by human civilization before the catastrophe? Or both? The degradation time of plastic is as high as hundreds of years. It was still buried in the ground, so other things decayed, but this one survived."

"But what are these strange lines? Is there some secret hidden?" Yang Xiaojin also frowned in doubt.

"Do you think this thing looks like a map?" Liu Bu and the others who had rushed over said, "There are turning symbols in the square pattern, it looks like a maze!"

Xu Xianchu and Ren Xiaosu's eyes lit up: "Is this the map of the mysterious city in Jingshan!?"

"Hey," Luo Xinyu said, "Look, there are words on it."

Due to decay, the plastic sheet has also been dilapidated and yellowed, but after Luo Xinyu reminded everyone, they still noticed that there was a line of small words under the mysterious pattern.

Ren Xiaosu carefully identified and read out: "Please scan the QR code to pay?"

A group of people were all confused: "What is a QR code, and who should I pay for it?"

"What's wrong, you have to pay money first if you want to go through the maze?"

Due to the fact that the civilization was broken, some information about the civilization before the catastrophe is unknown to everyone. Some were abandoned by human beings because they were useless, and some were broken in the dark age of existence.

We've never seen any of these in the ramparts or market towns, so its purpose is a mystery.

Anyway, it's not a maze map...

Ren Xiaosu looked at Xu Xianchu: "Are you sure what kind of mysterious city that is? There is a mystery of evolution there?"

"Then how can we explain the current changes in Jingshan?" Xu Xianchu said.

"That's right..." Ren Xiaosu said: "There are always secrets hidden in the mountains, but I always feel that cities and the like may not be so mysterious..."

"Let's go, you won't know until you've seen it," Xu Xianchu carefully put the QR code into his breast pocket, as if he was afraid of breaking it.

"Is this broken doll still with you?" Liu Bu asked.

"Take it with you, in case it's useful," Xu Xianchu said.
