Chapter 7 Destruction and Triumph(1/2)

"These monsters have a characteristic. ΩΔbibiWw    W. ΔBiQuGe.CN" Xie Lan looked at the barbecue party under the city and said slowly.

After witnessing this grand occasion, I could probably guess at all.

"They like light, they are phototaxis." Xie Lan pointed below.

The fire became stronger and stronger, but the subsequent rotten corpses continued to flow into the fire like moths to the flames.

"But it's strange that they only look for light when they are in darkness, but hide in darkness during the day."

"Do you think this is very similar to humans?" Xie Lan turned to look at me and said in a tone that seemed to be asking and answering.

I smiled, "Captain, they are humans."

"That's right." Xie Lan also smiled softly.

He came over and patted me on the shoulder.

"Let's go, it seems that the fire will be in the middle of the night."

"Everyone, the siege is over! We are victorious!"

Xie Lan stood on the city wall, holding the loudspeaker and shouted.

In an instant, the lights of thousands of homes lit up.

Although the windows of each household are only a faint candlelight, the hope and support contained in it are by no means expressible by brightness.

After all, there are still a group of strong ghosts and monsters outside the city burning in the fire.

Walking down the city tower, the thanks and laughter of the townspeople kept hearing. People surrounded Xie Lan, either expressing their inner fear to him or expressing their sincere gratitude to him.

Anyway, it's all good things.

I was wearing a black tourer cloak and followed Xie Lan silently in white cloth armor, and always seemed a little out of place in the crowd.

At least it is a bit inconsistent with Xie Lan.

"Who is this person, captain." Someone began to look at me with curious eyes.

"He is a traveler and a hero who helped us protect this town together." Xie Lan seemed to have a high opinion of me.

Did I do something?

I remember that I killed a few monsters, upgraded to another level, and even walked away with them a wooden bow.

"Wow... the traveler, that is to say, he is a person as powerful as Lord Elise?" The voice of the child next to him revealed a sense of admiration.

"Please be sure to come to our house and tell us your story."

"Do you want to try our home..."

"Where did you come from?"

For a moment, the people around me seemed to be bewitched by Xie Lan and surrounded me. Xie Lan had disappeared in the crowd at some point and disappeared.

Hey... this guy plots against me.

Speaking of which... did I hear the three words "Elis" just now?

"Kid, what did you just say?" I put my hand on the shoulder of one of the bunch of kids just now.

"A traveler as powerful as Lord Elise." Although I was a little moved, the child was not panicked. It seemed that he really regarded me as a hero.

"Is Elise...Is Elise from Gear City?" I asked, his voice anxious.

"Yes." The little boy nodded with a innocent look on his face.

"Lord Elise is so amazing. He goes out majestic every time and comes back with awesomeness. Sometimes he is holding some strange monster corpses."

"Those monsters are scary, but Lord Elise is not afraid at all."

"Once one of the monsters was still alive, and Lord Elise knocked it down with one plier."

When the children around me heard me ask about Elise, they immediately became excited and chattered in my ears about the legendary figure in their eyes.

Cut, these little damn heads.

But if I really want to say it, I am also a little devil.

Alas, it doesn't matter.

"But Lord Elise hasn't appeared for a long time..."

"If Lord Elise was still here, we wouldn't have been in such a predicament. She wouldn't have been sitting there."

"I'm so scared..."

It seemed that I remembered that there was a group of guests outside the door, and the children became scared again.

After a moment of turning around, Xie Lan appeared beside me again.

"So what was born here, what were the things outside the door?" I looked at Xie Lan and asked directly.

Xie Lan hooked my shoulder and said, "Let's talk about it in detail when changing places."

He pulled me into a room downstairs, which looked like his command post.

I turned my head and looked back, looking at the people who watched me leave just now, and their eyes always felt that there were some... very complicated things.

I went into the house and found a chair to sit down. At this time, Xie Lan slid two small notebooks from the table.

"Look at it, this is the latest record. Do you want to drink something? There is tea here." He said while looking for something.

"Ah, please trouble you."

I opened the booklet that looked like the first one.

The handwriting is neat and the narrative is well organized.

I slowly looked at these words and gradually sank into them.

Day 23 of Rain Moon

Today, Molt Tieji passed through our town again and took some supplies. She seemed to be so active, and sometimes it always made people wonder if she was really related to her brothers and sisters.

Today is also the day when our town’s trade fleet is out. I heard that Anyan Town next door has another good harvest. I hope I can get back a lot of good things this time. After all, there are not many vegetables left. Alas, it is sometimes not convenient to be born in this barren land.

Fortunately, the yield of other crops is quite high and the handicraft industry is relatively high.

The economy of the town can barely be maintained.

The 25th day of the Rain Moon

Gear City has once again closed its imports to the outside world. Occasionally, I really want to see what kind of life I live in that steel barrier.

Sometimes Molt Iron Ji will show off those novel technologies in front of the children, that is, the technology in Gear City. It’s so dazzling. Unfortunately, I have never been qualified to visit Gear City. It feels very sorry.

The trade convoy has been out for two days, and generally speaking, it should have arrived in Anyan now.

I hope everything is well.

The 30th day of the rain moon

I received a letter from Yu Xi.

He is the only one who knows how to drive the pigeons.

It took me half an hour to read the letter completely, and I was shocked after reading it.

The following is a letter paper.

Captain Xie Lan, please inform the townspeople to take refuge as soon as possible.

It's over, everything here is over, and now there is nothing Anyan Town at all.

We were attacked by unknown black mist and some strange corpses.

Now this is hell. I saw with my own eyes that the coachman of our convoy was peeled off from his bones layer by layer, and the same goes for Aunt Jing, Xiaoyue and the others. I am now writing to you completely on the verge of mental breakdown.

No, this is not the end, and the stripping of their limbs is not the end.

They, they stood up, without bone support, stood up on their own, surrounded by black mist.

They started attacking me, no, I must run away quickly.

(A strange distorted font that I can't understand)

I ran to a high ground, and there were several survivors with me.

It was so scary that the black fog almost swallowed all of us in just one minute, just like in An Yanzhen.

No, they climbed up, and there was black fog, black fog...

(Cluttered and twisted text)

Xie Lan, go quickly and leave Jianliang Town, otherwise you

(The text ends here)

The second day of Lanyue

We have been fully prepared, and now all we lack is the enemy.

But it is said to be an enemy... maybe it is also a former companion.
To be continued...
