The air in the swamp area is particularly hot and humid, and the area is so large that staying in a hot air balloon for a long time gradually makes people feel suffocated.
At this time, on the simple map, Xu Huo was not even a quarter of the way from point A in the Twin Cities.
Cao Qinglin was repeatedly poisoned. The antidote could only last half an hour. Every half hour, she had to take another antidote. The toxins combined with internal injuries, and there was no good recuperation environment. Her condition was worse than before.
It's still bad on the train.
Fortunately, after three hours, the hot air balloon finally left the swamp area. Without the obstruction of the fog, the view ahead suddenly opened up, so at a glance, an abandoned city not far away could be seen.
"I finally saw the city. I don't know if there is anyone inside." Qiu Ming said.
If you get closer, you can see clearly that the city is surrounded by iron fences.
The fence that is tens of meters high is covered with sharp blades, and there are three layers of iron mesh inside and outside. However, many places are damaged. There are no bones or anything like that. There are some animal teeth and nails stuck on it that have not been cleaned. They are old marks.
Spots.
"Has this place been invaded by alien species?" Cao Qinglin looked down. At this time, the hot air balloon was close to the edge of the city. From this position, the dilapidated appearance of the city could be clearly seen. Because there is no vegetation around and the climate is not suitable for plant growth,
Even the greenery has turned into rows of shabby withered grass. Occasionally, the wind sweeps by, and the dead branches and leaves will shatter like ancient paper.
The whole city looked dusty, with buildings, vehicles parked on the ground, and everything else covered with dust. Let alone people, not even a single mutated animal was seen.
The hot air balloon crossed the iron fence and moved along the avenue in the middle of the city, but at this time there was a sound of air leakage from above the hot air balloon, and the hanging glass house below also shook.
"The props have failed and we have to go down." Before the hot air balloon completely fell, Xu Huo collected the props and used the strings to pause briefly in the air before landing smoothly on the ground.
Qiu Ming hugged Cao Qinglin. The two of them used a parachute prop. The speed was slightly slower. It took a few seconds to land next to Xu Huo. Qiu Ming looked around with caution, "I didn't find anyone else."
Xu Huo said that he had gained nothing.
Cao Qinglin said: "It may be the jamming equipment that was previously deployed in the city. In order to prevent air raids from outside players, some districts simply blocked the air. Although the city was abandoned, the equipment may not have malfunctioned."
"The place looks quite big. It might be a little difficult to find jamming equipment." Qiu Ming looked around.
"Don't bother, just walk there." Xu Huo glanced at the leaning vehicles on the roadside, "If you're lucky, you might be able to find a usable car."
So the three of them walked along the main street, leaving three sets of footprints on the dusty ground.
The dust in the air was rising like fine snow, and it seemed that not long after, the fresh footprints were covered with a shallow layer.
The three of them walked not very fast, Qiu Ming said: "Be careful not to step into the random copy."
The entrance to the random dungeon has no fixed form. Sometimes it may be an item, and sometimes it is simply a designated area. In many cases, it is difficult to even capture the instrument because the entrance to some random dungeons is not always open.
However, Xu Huo, who has already mastered the power of space, can distinguish some special items, and the items representing random entrances often have different space rays from the surrounding objects, which is very conspicuous - he checked the surroundings when he came down.
, there is no suspicious presence.
At least not on the surface.
The traces of fighting on the streets are very old, and many places are covered with a layer or two of dust, but no bones or alien corpses can be seen. This is a city that has been attacked by aliens. Whether it is aliens or people, they have cleaned up the iron outside.
The corpse at the net, city streets shouldn't be so "clean".
"There is a parking lot down here." Qiu Ming found an underground passage. The door was blocked by an iron fence covered with cloth. As soon as he lifted the iron fence, a shriveled head suddenly fell out of the mess!
Qiu Ming was startled, and subconsciously kicked out the body that was lying towards him. The thing had been dried by the air, and slag fell all over the floor with his kick. It fell apart completely before it rolled three meters away.
"I asked why I couldn't see the body. It turned out that it had been moved to a place away from other people." He tried to make up for himself, "I thought it was a living person!"
"They must have been brought in because they were afraid of attracting alien species." Cao Qinglin said with no surprise, "It's dry and hot here, and the body dries quickly."
"But isn't it a little strange?" Qiu Ming had already walked into the underground passage and asked puzzledly: "Since someone is cleaning up the streets, it means that the people in this city must not have died. If there is a large number of people migrating, why are there still people on the streets?
So many cars?”
"It may be a transfer organized by the government, transporting people on large vehicles." The underground passage was dark. Cao Qinglin turned on the light and saw Xu Huo breaking open the iron door at the end of the passage. She couldn't help but put the light through.
With a muffled sound, the chain on the iron door was broken. As soon as Xu Huo pushed the door open, half of a human head fell down on top of his head, and half of his body hung on it. The pestle was hanging upside down right in front of him.
Looking at the dark eye holes for a moment, he stretched out his hand to push the body away, turned around and said to the two people behind him: "Be careful."
Cao Qinglin and Qiu Ming looked at each other and followed him into the parking lot.
However, after entering, the two of them were a little dumbfounded, because compared to the cleanliness outside, the inside seemed to have been attacked by alien species. A large number of destroyed vehicles were crowded together in a mess, and scattered corpses were everywhere, on the stone pillars and ceiling.
The scratch marks and stains show how miserable the situation was at that time.
"Did the aliens do it?" Qiu Ming stopped in front of a female corpse holding a child.
"The people in this city have mutated." Xu Huo took a look around. "Most of them killed each other. Some of the corpses can be seen. There are varying degrees of damage to the finger bones and teeth, but there are no animal characteristics. The mutated
not long time."
"Are they locked up here?" Cao Qinglin was a little surprised, then paused and said: "One iron door can't close so many evolved people, and it's probably made by players."
"There are too many people," Qiu Ming said: "I have never seen such a large number of mutations occur in any division in one go."
Generally, if attacked by alien species, the number of people killed will definitely exceed the number of people infected. Only when a large area begins to evolve or is specially infected can so many people degenerate at the same time.
"I have heard that in order to quickly increase the number of players, some places use vaccination to trick ordinary people into injecting the blood of evolvers. If this is the case, half of the city's people can start evolving in a day or two.
