"Little Lolita Feng Lingtong, why did you arrive before us? You know, we came by car..."
"Brother Hao, you may not be as fast when driving a car as you are walking. Look at the road conditions. I saw you a long time ago, but it took you a long time to get here..."
Little Lolita Feng Lingtong, Zhou Zhenghao could only nod in agreement with this explanation. They actually knew that driving a pickup truck was not fast, but they were different from others. There was a pregnant woman Zhang Yichun in their car.
If you don't drive, if you walk, you probably won't be able to walk half the distance now. Several people walked towards the crowd while talking.
The bald man Fang Yangbo introduced the situation to Zhou Zhenghao,
"Most of the people gathered here are those who have disappeared before. Among the residents, one of my two teammates is missing and can't be seen. The other is his name is Yan Cheng. You see, it's him..."
The person he introduced was a lean man who looked very young. His face was as sharp as a knife, and his shoulders were as broad as mountains. Just standing there, he felt as deep as the sea. No one would doubt it. As long as the other party moved, he would be there instantly.
It will be like a tsunami, crushing the resisting existence into pieces. After seeing Zhou Zhenghao, he directly greeted him familiarly.
"Brother Hao, you are here! Do you still remember me?..."
Zhou Zhenghao saw that this Yan Cheng was also an acquaintance. He was recruited in the same recruitment period as him. The interview was in the same group, which increased everyone's intimacy.
Several people talked and introduced the situation to each other, and soon Zhou Zhenghao knew the situation here.
He secretly calculated in his mind that there were now a total of 19 people here. He had already calculated it before. In fact, as of their team, the number of people who entered this devil town this time should be 25 in total. In other words, six people did not arrive.
.
"Captain Fang Yangbo? I'm sorry, Shi Feiang, a member of your team, and I bumped into each other. It's just that he had an accident and was killed by a devil fruit bug on the roof of a sixth floor not far away.
, I'm really sorry, I failed to protect him!..."
"oh,……"
After hearing Zhou Zhenghao's words, the bald man Fang Yangbo glanced at Zhou Zhenghao in surprise. He was slightly dazed, but then he sighed heavily.
"I don't blame you. Originally, this weird investigation bureau was a place where blood was licked from the edge of a knife. It's just that Shi Feian and I have been together for two or three years. People, after staying together for a long time, always
It’s inevitable to have some feelings!…”
You can hear some sadness in his tone, but others don't know how to persuade her. Others here don't know whether they can go out safely. After hearing this news, it can be said that it was brought by Zhou Zhenghao.
The first one is to confirm that someone died.
"Captain Zhou, it seems that the other people who didn't come are in danger. When I was rushing here, I also encountered two of the devil fruit bugs you mentioned. They are indeed very difficult to deal with. The key is that we
Without equipment and with bare hands, do you think there are other people who did not rush to the center of this town, but explored the periphery?..."
"This possibility is not impossible,..."
Zhou Zhenghao nodded. They had just exchanged information with each other. In fact, most of the information was provided by Zhou Zhenghao. Others did not provide much information. Moreover, Zhou Zhenghao had basically mastered it. He did not get any other effective information.
clue.

At this time, the little lolita Feng Lingtong tugged on Zhou Zhenghao's clothes, pointed to a fountain in the central square, and said to Zhou Zhenghao.
"Brother Hao, go there and have a look. There is something there. We have been looking here for a long time and we don't know what it means? Go over there and have a look!..."
It was obvious that little lolita Feng Lingtong still had a certain attachment and trust to Zhou Zhenghao. Zhou Zhenghao was slightly stunned after hearing this.
"Is there something there?..."
"Yes, Captain Zhou, please go over and take a look. I was just talking to you and forgot about this. This is indeed a bit strange!..."
The bald man Fang Yangbo also agreed at this time, and the others also cooperated and moved aside. Zhou Zhenghao stopped refusing and walked directly over. For such weird things, it is better to see it with your own eyes than to listen to other people's stories.
of reality.
Mai Poduo followed him, never leaving.
At this time, the pregnant woman who came back with them suddenly shouted loudly,
"Jiang Rong?..."
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man ran over from a distance. He said that middle-aged was a bit too much, but he was only thirty-five or sixty-six years old. His hair on the temples was slightly bald, his eyebrows were thick and neat, and his eyes were sparkling.
Expression. He pays great attention when looking at people. When he smiles, he shows a set of neat and white teeth. However, his face is a bit haggard and he looks older than his actual age. From the name the pregnant woman called, this guy should be her husband.
Jiang Rong,
Sure enough, Jiang Rong, who was running over, had tears in his eyes. He ran directly to his wife, grabbed her hands, and
"Zhang Yichun? Are you okay? But you are worried about me to death. Is the child okay?..."
"It's okay. We are both safe. It's all thanks to Captain Zhou from the Weird Investigation Bureau and the guy named McPoudou who saved me. You don't know that as soon as I came to this place,
I just appeared on the second floor. It was very high and I didn’t dare to go down. Just when I was about to go out, there was another weird sound outside the door. Then there was a monster bumping into the door, which scared me to death!..."
"Don't be afraid, you are safe with me!..."
Although the husband, Jiang Rong, was thin, he spoke decisively. When he saw the young couple over there, talking there, Zhou Zhenghao did not go there, but from a distance, the man looked over with grateful eyes and said thank you.
.
Zhou Zhenghao nodded to him and replied, "You're welcome."
He did not go there, but walked directly through the crowd and walked towards the fountain inside. The fountain was very large and deserted with no statues inside. The water inside had dried up, exposing the pipes and some lamps inside.
Rusty.
Without waiting for others to say anything, Zhou Zhenghao discovered something strange, which made him feel nervous.
I saw a few words floating in this quite large fountain. It was not a word, but a countdown. Look at the countdown time.
00:04:41.
It's only less than five minutes, which is so weird.
What's even more weird is that when Zhou Zhenghao saw this word, it was the same word he saw when he first entered the Devil's Town, floating at the bottom of the fountain.
"Captain Zhou, we are all guessing what this countdown means? What if
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
If this is a bad guess, has the countdown arrived? Will some huge monster appear and eat us in one bite? Or will the thick fog around us come over and kill us? In short, we have been here for a while, and we are all
I have a bad premonition, and I feel that something terrible will happen after the countdown is over, and maybe we will all die..."
The bald man Fang Yangbo looked at Zhou Zhenghao with fear on his face. He also hoped that Zhou Zhenghao could give some advice. He knew in his heart that it would be difficult.
"Who came here first?..."
"It's me!..."
At this time, an old man next to him raised his hand. He was in his fifties or sixties. His hair was already gray, and he was only about 1.5 meters tall. He was a little stooped, and he was holding a black crutch in his hand.
"Old man, are you the first to come here?..."
Zhou Zhenghao turned to look at him,
"Yes, I like to take a walk on the hillside in the afternoon, and today is no exception. I came here for a walk, but who knew I entered here inexplicably? As soon as I entered here, I opened my eyes and I was here. It was empty at that time.
There is no one, I am the only one here. My legs and feet are not convenient, so I don’t move to other places, so I just stay here. Later, other people came over and slowly more and more people gathered..."
"I see, can I ask? Old man, did you find these words when you came here?..."
"I found it. I saw these words when I came here, but the countdown was still long at that time. It should have been an hour and a half when I saw it..."
Zhou Zhenghao asked him because he wanted to know how long this countdown was. In this case, he had actually been in this devil town for an hour and 25 minutes.
"So, we have been here for a long time. Maybe we will be killed when the countdown ends. Is it also possible that we can leave when the countdown ends?"
"Captain Zhou, this idea is too optimistic. Someone also proposed it just now, but it was quickly rejected by everyone. This weird town is full of man-eating devil fruitworms. They will not let us leave easily.
Yes, this should be a slim chance..."
Fang Yangbo, the bald man next to him, said in a deep voice. It was obvious that before Zhou Zhenghao came, they had been discussing for a long time and had put forward various possibilities.
Zhou Zhenghao actually knew at this time that this idea was a bit naive and whimsical, but looking at the countdown, he couldn't deduce what would happen after the countdown ended.
Seeing Zhou Zhenghao's silence, Fang Yangbo next to him also stopped talking. Only a huge countdown appeared at the bottom of the fountain, decreasing by one second.
00:04:17…….
00:04:16…….
00:04:15…….
…
This puts great pressure on everyone around them.
No one would think that nothing would happen after the countdown ended, and no one would think that anything good would happen. So everyone looked very nervous, especially the pregnant woman Zhang Yichun and her husband Jiang Rong, who were tightly
snuggling together, clasping their hands together,
