【Level improvement, current level is 9】

Upgraded to level 4, it feels pretty good.』Ω

Because it is a monster, items will naturally fall off, but in this case I still choose not to pick them up, after all... right.

In fact, these rotten corpses will die if they die, which can be considered as giving their souls peace, but it is a bit very concerning.

After falling down, these rotten corpses collapsed like a pool of mud and were swallowed by flames. However, the black fog attached to them quietly left.

Thousands of rotten corpses fell down in groups under the city, and behind them were dense black mists squirming outwards.

I sat on the wall and watched the martyrs until the last rotten corpse turned into ashes in the sea of ​​fire.

The sun gradually rose in the distance, shining out the black tides at the other end of the horizon.

That was the black mist that had just been peeled off from the body of the rotten corpse. They were like a well-trained army, swimming towards the distance like migrating.

Seeing this scene, it seemed that something familiar bloomed in my mind.

Well-trained army...

Large-scale migration...

Black tide...

During the day, birds and beasts scattered...

Cycling every three days...?

"Damn it!" Suddenly something flashed through my mind. I ran down the city wall quickly and rushed into Xie Lan's command post.

At this time, Xie Lan was still sleeping, and the notepad on the table was placed in that position without moving.

I let go of the notepad and found the time of the last invasion recorded by Xie Lan.

The third day of Lanyue.

What day is Lanyue today?

I opened the calendar.

The sixth day of Lanyue.

Just three days.

It is exactly in line with what Elise described before.

This is fucking embarrassing.

They are not "as if" an army at all, they are completely an army!

This group of black fogs is not ordinary plagues. They are acting in an organized manner. Perhaps behind them, something like the master's mind is directing them.

There is definitely something wrong with that cave.

absolute.

It seems that behind that door, besides Elise, there is another thing I have to know.

I have to leave, better to rush to Gear City right away.

Before leaving, I left a note for Xie Lan to say goodbye.

By the way, I also took the rope ladder used to pick me up yesterday. This is not stealing. I can't open the city gate when I leave the city. There is a pile of dried corpses in the front gate. I don't know what the situation is in the door behind... Well, even if I steal it, can the player's affairs be called stealing?

"Are you leaving?"

As soon as I walked out of the command post, I heard a familiar voice.

It was one of those kids yesterday.

"Well, I'm going to Gear City." I nodded.

"Wow... can you bring me some gifts back? I heard that the things there are so good, even the soil on the ground is shining." The child's eyes were full of expectations.

"I try to...if I can bring it." I smiled bitterly.

"Thank you! Even if it's a little bit of soil there, I'll look forward to it. Let me help you make a mark on the map." The child looked at me happily.

I took out the map, the child drew it twice, and a vague road leading to Gear City was displayed.

"So goodbye, I'm going back, otherwise my mother will find that I haven't had a good sleep. Please remember my gift." The child waved his hand and ran home.

"Okay." I closed the map and walked towards the back door of the town.

Judging from the map, the coordinates of Gear City are not far from Jianliang Town, and you can get there in about ten minutes.

I feel like I've been on the road these days... Sure enough, that's right.

People are either running away or preparing to run away in their lives.

The journey was not far away, but I don’t know when it started, a steel wall connecting the sky and the earth suddenly appeared in my vision. It appeared so abruptly that I mistakenly thought it was a mirage.

"Strange, was there such a wall just now?" I shook my head and tried to wake myself up.

I don't feel like my spirit is so blurred that I can lose something so huge.

With a guessing attitude, I ran a short distance back.

The high wall is gone.

Back to the place just now, the high wall emerged again.

I opened the map and looked at the current location.

Sure enough... the one in front of me was Gear City, and the high wall was the wall of Gear City.

It seems that this Gear City is indeed extraordinary. No wonder there is a text like "The visit requires qualification" in Xie Lan's diary.

Elise, Elise, what is your place of life like? I really want to see it.

But speaking of this... Even Xie Lan can't enter, so how can I get exemption?

Maybe there are some rules.

With a try-and-see attitude, I gradually approached this majestic city of steel.

The city wall seems to be an arc surface. Because it is too huge, I cannot see the full picture. However, through speculation, we can probably still know that this gear city is a cylinder.

Slowly touching the arc-shaped city wall, I gradually saw the gate standing proudly among the city wall.

It did not set up checkpoints or sentries at the door like other towns, and Gear City seemed to have planned its unique architectural style when it was first built.

Here, the door is the door, not anything else.

The gate of Gear City is almost as tall as its wall. I stood in front of this metal-filled gate and deeply felt my insignificance.

So what should I do next?

If you visit a stranger's home, I think you should know what you should do first.

‘Knock, knock, knock.’ I stretched out my hand and knocked on the door three times rhythmically.

No response.

As expected, this is just my wishful thinking, knocking on the door is still unrealistic here.

Think about other things...

'squeak--'

As if to slap my face, the door opened a small crack.

Under such a huge volume, even just a small slit is enough for people to pass completely.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, I quickly flashed in, and then the door slowly closed behind me.

Now comes in? Just knock on the door?

Do you don’t need any entry qualifications or visiting permits?

I looked up and there was no checkpoints around me.

It would be better to say that from the moment I looked up at the city gate until I entered this iron city, I felt like there was nothing in this city.

The houses here are like pillars, neatly arranged in various locations in the city, huge and towering, just like the city itself.

The round high walls and column-like buildings make me feel that this place is simply a cemetery.

Extending along the city gate was a great road, which split countless paths, and at the end of this road, it was probably the city lord's mansion.

'call----'

‘Swoosh--’

There seemed to be something flying around the top of my head since the beginning, and the sound seemed to be getting closer and closer.

‘Swish--’

The thing instantly slashed past my eyes, and I didn't even have time to see clearly what it was, or who it was.

"Oh, hello!"

The next moment, he appeared in front of me again.
To be continued...
