At this moment, Nuolan is in the middle of the road, with various shop buildings on both sides.

He estimated that the location he was in should be a central area similar to a business district.

But the strange thing is that the bustling streets that should be bustling with traffic day and night are empty at this time.

Several cars parked on the roadside were covered with thick dust and had obviously not been started for a long time.

"Abandoned city?"

Nuo Lan frowned and thought in her mind.

In his view, given the completeness of the various facilities on the street in front of him, it would be absolutely impossible for them to be abandoned without reason under normal circumstances.

If you want a city of this size to completely become an empty city, there are only a few reasons:

large-scale war,

Or it could be a disaster of the same level that could destroy a city.

But right now, Nuolan didn't find any traces of military combat on the streets...

His heart tightened, and he felt a chill surge into his heart.

He quickly turned around and cast a careful and careful look at the surrounding street scene.

He tried to find some clues, and at the same time, concentrating his attention could calm down his ups and downs.

It's not too difficult,

Although the body after traveling through time was a little weak due to a long period of lack of nutritional intake, its eyesight was very good.

At least it's much better than the nearly 600 degrees of myopia I had in my previous life.

After just a slight glance around, Nuolan's gaze stopped at a certain high place.

It was a tall building that looked very ordinary on the outside. If it were normal, he would not take a second glance even if he was passing by.

But at this time, Nuolan was staring at the side of the tall building without blinking.

There is a huge colorful billboard posted there.

On the billboard, there is a picture of a handsome man with blue hair, holding a drink in his hand, smiling, and there is a bunch of fancy artistic signatures below.

The focus of Nuolan's eyes was naturally not on this man.

What he focused on were the rows of advertisements printed next to the handsome man.

【Functional conditioning, healthy choice.】

【100% green juice, idyllic enjoyment.】

【"Sweetheart Mask" is highly recommended! Waiting for your purchase! 】

The words are unfamiliar, but I can clearly understand the meaning contained in them.

"Sweetheart Mask..." Nolan raised her hand and rubbed her smooth chin, "Why does it sound so familiar?"

According to the posture in the advertisement, the other party should be an artist.

But after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't recall any memory about this star.

Nolan, who lives in the era of information explosion, is accustomed to this.

"Perhaps I drew it while playing with my mobile phone one day." He thought in his heart.

Although I did not recall relevant information, I was able to find some familiar things in an unfamiliar environment.

For Nuolan, who has been anxious and crisis-ridden since the beginning of time travel, this is quite gratifying.

Looking away from the billboard, Nolan continued to search her surroundings.

There was only thirty minutes left for him. In order to save his life, he had to seize every possible opportunity around him.

Soon, he made another discovery.

There is a small shop open on the street,

Unlike the closed buildings around it, the door of this shop was open, and there were several metal anti-theft devices with red lights at the door.

"Z city self-service supermarket..." Nuolan looked at the sign at the door of the store and read it casually.

He felt a little strange.

Not to mention "Z City", a strange pronoun that often only appears in online novels, the brightly lit, clean and tidy appearance of the supermarket alone is enough to make people suspicious.

In this kind of city that seems to have been abandoned for a long time, a modern supermarket that seems to be still running normally appears suddenly. It’s hard to explain, right?

Nuolan's mind was full of doubts. She stood there and thought for a while, then took steps towards the supermarket.

This weird supermarket may be able to provide some information to help you understand your current situation.

He planned to go there and explore.

Just then,

Bang--

Like an earthquake, the ground shook violently with some heavy loud noise.

Nuo Lan stumbled and almost fell.

After finally regaining control of his body amid the shock, his eyes turned to the end of the street in the distance.

That's where the sound came from.

"Pap tap tap..."

The sound of hurried footsteps gradually sounded, and the sound of violent breathing spread in the air.

A middle-aged man wearing a strange uniform with a panicked face, holding a pistol in his right hand, was limping and running hard on the road.

It seemed as if something terrifying was chasing behind him, causing the middle-aged man to run away, turning back and firing two shots from time to time.

But its miserable appearance makes it hard to believe its accuracy.

There are no pedestrians or vehicles on the roads in the deserted city, so the line of sight is quite wide.

When Nuolan saw the panicked man, the other party also noticed him.

"Run!!!"

The man roared, his sharp and almost broken voice full of despair, as if he had exhausted all his last strength.

He stopped running, as if to buy some time for the civilians behind him to escape.

He turned around, raised the pistol with a trembling hand, and pointed the muzzle at the end of the street corner.

At this moment, although Nuolan couldn't see the eyes of the man who was turning his back to him, he felt something from the other man's scream.

It seems to be a responsibility, a kind of...faith?

So much so that, without even the slightest hesitation, he followed the other party's wishes, half-turned, spread his legs, and fled behind him.

boom--

A red light flashed past, filling the corner of Nolan's eyes.

The violent flames engulfed the figure of the middle-aged man,

The scorching air current carried a strong burnt odor, rushing towards my face like a wave.

The body, covered in charred black and lifeless, leaned backward feebly and fell to the ground.

The pistol also fell.

Nuolan's pupils shrank suddenly,

I felt an invisible aura enveloped me, and my body became stiff.

The whole person couldn't help but froze in place.

At some point, a huge, ferocious black shadow appeared on the street in the distance.

Dark, fine scales are all over the body, and the two-story-tall strong body is full of muscles, as if there is explosive power brewing in it;

The thick long tail swayed gently behind it, and from its huge mouth filled with sharp teeth, wisps of black smoke rose up, and the faint fire could be seen deep in its throat.

Like a huge upright lizard.

It leaned forward slightly, and the charred corpse on the ground was reflected in its dark green vertical pupils.

A smile full of mockery and teasing appeared on his face.

"The funny little mouse can run quite fast."

Suddenly, I seemed to smell something strange,

The wings of its nose twitched twice, and the monster suddenly raised its head and looked forward.

An inexplicable chill shot up from the tailbone to the sky, and unspeakable panic boiled in my heart.

Nuolan looked at the monster, her mind going blank.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment...

"bite!"

An extremely sudden, clear ringing sound rang from the side of the street.

The anti-theft device at the entrance of the supermarket turned on the green light, and an ordinary figure walked out.

“Welcome to patronize, remember to come again next time~~”

A frivolous electronic synthesized sound echoed in the air.

It's obviously just a recording automatically playing at the entrance of the supermarket.

Against the background of the scene at this moment, it seems a bit absurd and funny.

Coincidentally, Nuolan and the monster turned their heads and turned their attention to the supermarket entrance.
