Demon Sage

v3 Chapter 77: Weird Ruins

In the early morning of the next day, the group set off early for the plague ruins.

It's not that I don't want to rest, but this place is not suitable for a long stay.

An environment with too much negative energy will affect everyone except Lilo. If Donald didn't rely on his mental power to forcefully create a normal environment at night, it is estimated that the whole group would have to stay up late.

And this caused some of the mental power recovered by Donald's meditation all night to be wasted on it, which also made him quite helpless.

That's why the sky was getting brighter, and everyone was ready to enter the ruins immediately, find the special energy Lilo said as quickly as possible, and leave here.

"No entry!" "Pandemic area!"...

On the side of the road outside the ruins of the plague, there are more than a dozen signs sticking up and down.

"These brands seem to be of little use."

Anthony raised his hand and pointed to a nearby wasteland, where among the weeds lay several stiff corpses, dressed in the leather armor suits common to adventurers, and a jacket to keep warm, each holding a long corpse. Sword, apparently a battle broke out before his death.

"Many times, the 'no entry' prompt has the opposite effect for some people... It should be some guys thinking about coming over to make money, resting outside the ruins and meeting ghosts, a group of ordinary people. ...somehow."

For the death of such people, Donald will not have any reaction, because they died of their own stupidity and greed, which is the least pathetic way to die.

Entering the town along the main road of the ruins, this time it was Lilo who took the lead. After all, only she could respond to the special energy in the ruins.

Donald's eyes wandered around in the ruins. He thought that the corpses of those who were infected should be everywhere in the ruins. After all, tens of thousands of people died. Although time has passed, flesh and blood may disappear with the passage of time, but at least it can Seeing the skeleton, he also made a mental construction for the two girls Stephanie and Julia in advance.

Who would have thought that from entering the ruins to the present, what he saw was just a large piece of broken walls, and there were no human corpses at all.

"There was a fire here."

Crossing a low wall that only reached her knees, Stephanie seemed to have found something, and suddenly squatted down, grabbed a handful of weeds from the side, and wiped a handful of dust on one side of the low wall. Go, revealing the dark inner wall.

"It should be that the Emerald County Government consciously set off a fire here. Look at the surrounding buildings, there are few well-preserved buildings. The building materials of this era are not the civil structures of the past, such as this kind of town where tens of thousands of people live. The building must be made of bricks, and there are various reinforced structures inside, so how long does it take, and it can’t be achieved by the wind and the sun.”

Anthony opened his hand and drew a semi-circle in front of him, as if to include all the surrounding buildings, and then said.

Looking around along his line of sight, there is hardly a single intact house in the entire plague ruins, only some dilapidated buildings.

"It should be for the complete elimination of the epidemic. This approach can't be wrong... Let's keep up. I still feel that something is wrong here. We must leave here as soon as possible."

Noticing that Lilo suddenly turned to go somewhere in the ruins, Donald patted Anthony on the shoulder and then quickened his pace. They were not here for archaeology now, to explore how this town became ruins.

Following Lilo's turn, a line of defense about five meters long appeared across the street in front of her.

Yes, Donald calls it the line of defense.

At the foot is a broken wooden horse, the front end of the thigh-thick wooden stake has been roughly chopped into a pointed end, and there are some thorny iron wires wrapped around it.

The same thing can be seen a lot around.

And behind these refusals is a rough front piled up with various fillers.

"This... what are these things used for? It's not to guard against the residents who originally lived in this small town, right?"

Stephanie looked at the horse in front of her who still hadn't collapsed. She didn't know if it was an illusion. She smelled a little blood from above.

"From the time we came in, we should have walked along the road town for half an hour. This is just an ordinary town, and the floor area is only normal. That is to say, we should have reached the center of the town by now. Your statement is indeed possible, but don't forget that the Emerald County Government has implemented a blockade here, and since this is the case, this line of defense should not be placed from the inside out, but should be blocked and surrounded from the outside to the inside."

As Donald spoke, he walked forward, kicked away a corner of the seemingly solid defense line that was in fact already in vain, stepped forward, bent over to pick up something from the stone bricks of the street, and threw it to Anthony next to him, who lifted it up. He caught it with his hand, and when he opened it, he saw a yellow shell.

"If they are facing the people in the town, then this is not a disease, but a massacre..."

He clapped his hands, then bent over to pick up Finger, and brushed off the dust on his fur because of his jumping up and down. Donald kept frowning, his quick mind was already activated.

These shells can be seen everywhere behind the defense line, which is enough to prove that battles have broken out here before, and the battle situation is so fierce that a large number of firearms are required for defensive operations.

Donald can't believe that the residents of this small town are so fierce that they need to dispatch the army to suppress it in this form of massacre.

"Look, the line of defense does not exist in this street, but presents a surrounding situation, as if it is protecting something?"

Due to the dilapidated buildings in the ruins, Donald's sight was not restricted, he looked around and came to a conclusion that was a little weird in his own eyes.

"Protection? Everyone in town is sick. It stands to reason that they should run outside. What are you doing here? Depending on the situation, you should stick to..."

Stephanie stepped on the filling of the defense line, and asked with a white breath in her mouth.

"It's a pity that there is no map of the town, otherwise we can use the map to analyze it."

If you want to tell the location of this place and what important buildings are nearby from the surrounding ruins, you should not have to count on it, but with this line of defense alone, it is obviously difficult to find more information from above~lightnovelpub.net~ Lilo, have you found anything? "

Donald looked at Lilo, who was no longer moving.

"No, this is the place with the most energy... I can't find it."

There was still no expression on his face, but the voice that appeared in Donald's mind could also hear Lilo's annoyance.

"Brother Donald, come and see, there seems to be a street sign here."

At this moment, Julia shouted from the side that the ghost was inconvenient to appear in the sun, and she was putting up a road sign that was a little higher than her.

It's just that her body was really weak, and she was shaking for a while, so Anthony immediately came over to help.

Released a cleansing technique to clean the surface of the street sign. Donald squinted at the name on it.

"Central block, Iris Town Government Office... Let's go."

Donald specifically picked up the street sign and pointed to the name of the place behind the line of defense.

Sure enough, like most other towns, most of the centrally located government buildings are.

"stop!"

Halfway through, Donald suddenly said.

The building ruins in front are obviously a lot less, and there is a dense ruin in the farther place, which should be a small square in front of the government office building.

"What did you find?"

A series of strange phenomena in the plague ruins made everyone nervous.

"Wait, don't move."

Donald bent down and pressed his palms to the ground. His momentum suddenly changed, and his mental power poured out.

Immediately, lavender shimmers lit up everywhere in the square in front of you!
