87. Not ordinary people
Soon, he and several subordinates rode horses to the place the spy said.
It was a wasteland less than 10 kilometers away from this mountain. A small river flowed quietly from west to east, surrounded by river beaches and grasslands. The river water was clear and pebbles were sinking to the bottom of the water, occasionally reflecting shimmering.
The surrounding ground was covered with grass and wild flowers, and a few small hills were slightly farther away. When the breeze blew, the grass on the hills floated like waves.
At first glance, this place is a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, and ecological restoration is excellent.
However, there was horror in this quiet wasteland - human corpses everywhere seemed to tell how terrifying things had happened here! There was no smell of blood in the air, because there was no blood of any creature here scattered on the ground.
Those corpses were obviously the defense forces that left the city to practice not long ago. Their shriveled uniforms clearly showed their identities.
They are soldiers from Sand City.
But, incomprehensible, their bodies seemed to be sucked away by something!
The frightened and twisted face, the wide mouth, the deep eye sockets were not eyeballs, which were dark holes. There were also those stiff hands and arms stretched out in the air, as if they were trying hard to reach something? Almost every corpse became a mummy!
"Look! They are!" a man shouted.
Following the direction of his finger, General Lu Feng saw that the clothes on a certain corpse turned into extremely fine powder, and were blown by the wind and drifted elsewhere! Only the shriveled corpse was left, which still supported the ground in a panic.
Some parts of the body are translucent, and bones can be seen vaguely!
In a breeze, some powder was blown up on his skin! After the powder dissipated, it seemed that the apple on his body was bitten away, and a piece was missing.
At this time, except for the occasional wind blowing the grass and making a gentle "slope" sound, there is deathly silence around it.
Apart from them, there was no living creature in front of them! They also found several dead birds not far away, and their bodies were as dry as ever!
Everyone was shocked. There were dozens of corpses of guards scattered in the wilderness in front of them! Moreover, almost all of them had weapons, but those weapons were obviously not used.
This is a strange thing!
This can only tell one thing-even the dead don't know how they died, otherwise how could they not even shoot a shot.
This scene made all living people creepy
What did they encounter? It was this way of dying?
Although the cause of death is not yet known, it is certain that the cause of death is related to water. The water on their bodies, including the water in the blood in their eyes, disappeared, as if it had been drained.
Who did this? Or what did it?
While they were checking and secretly fearing in their hearts, the old man spoke.
"No! It's too dangerous to leave!! You can't stay here for a long time!"
Lu Feng frowned and said decisively.
The few people didn't even dare to let out their anger, and their little hearts were jumping "pumping" in their bodies and evacuated quickly.
However, just as they were about to turn around and leave, a strange change suddenly occurred! A sudden roar came from not far away!
"No! Then, that's our horse!" a spy shouted in horror.
Everyone looked at the direction of the hissing sound
Not long ago, my father and the others passed by a former civilized city.
There are giant buildings and complex curved streets, but no one, a merchant or a traveler, can't see it.
On the street, you can even see a strange billboard made into the shape of a swimming ring, which seems to be an advertisement for a certain resort. About a quarter of it was deeply inserted into the exterior wall of a building next to it. In the past, it must have been a lively resort.
The nearest town is only a few dozen kilometers away. My father and the others soon saw the city in the desert from afar.
"Sand City" is like a pearl embedded in the crown of the yellow desert. It is full of dome buildings and huge overhead ditches. It is a water diversion channel introduced into the city from the huge mountains to the north of the city.
Several small towns are dotted around the vast land of "Sand City". These small towns are not far away, at most hundreds of kilometers.
In a small town closest to the east of the mountain range, there is an underground farm No. 15, which was left hundreds of years ago, flows into the ground with a steady stream of water from the mountain, watering the land and feeding more than 20,000 people in the town and surrounding areas!
This desert was originally formed by floating out of the water from the bottom of the lake, but the water has long faded over the past few hundred years, and new water surfaces have been formed in other low-lying areas, leaving only some strange-shaped bottom rocks, like countless giant pebbles, built high by giants like building blocks.
These rock pillars that are dozens of meters high are in danger but still stand tall! They stand on the ground in batches, accompanied by the endless yellow sand and shaking wind.
The terrain of Sand City is higher than that of the surrounding areas, and it can be said that it is the least affected piece of land in this area.
The area of those deserts is now decreasing because there is fertile soil under the yellow sand, which is a fertilizer accumulated for millions of years at the bottom of the sediment. Therefore, many places have been artificially mined and turned into land where food can be grown!
This is also due to the ruling royal family in Shacheng, which has been developing and operating here for hundreds of years.
For some reason, they saw several convoys heading to Sand City on the road, but they rarely saw people coming out of Sand City.
This is a very strange thing. Has the export trade in Shacheng stopped?
"Hmm? Have you seen that cloud? It's red and looks very unique!" It was King Chen Liu's voice.
As everyone looked at it, the clouds floated above the northern mountains, which was indeed rare.
"By the way, the 10 people who went to Shacheng in advance, don't know what the situation is? Contact me."
A subordinate awakened the device with his spiritual power and contacted the thugs in the city.
They had separated two waves, and the two waves had already chosen their respective destinations. They could see guards in the city and patrolling the streets, and there was nothing else to pay attention to.
Su Xingtian frowned, as if he had noticed something.
"Maybe I was worried too much, I think there are more troops in the city than before. In the past, there were so many guards in the sand city after nightfall. Why are there so many people now during the day?"
Mr. Su thought about finding out the reason, but he couldn't think of it at all.
"I can only go to the city first! By the way, the place where we settled is very safe, right?" Dad said disapprovingly.
"Don't worry, this is the most reliable place I have arranged in the city. If there are even problems with that place, then you can only be asked to live in the emperor's palace, haha!"
Mr. Su promised swearingly.
"Well, it seems we should disguise it now." Raven reminded.
Yes, in this place, they should indeed change their identities.
Mr. Su took out some disguised props from his luggage.
This is something he has always prepared on his body. He can take it out at any time and will immediately become unrecognizable. Even the most familiar person cannot recognize himself.
I am in a good mood, and today I have spent more than 400,000 yuan on papers, and I will add another chapter.
Chapter completed!
