Chapter 369 The Forgotten Ruined City

Then the road regained its air of adventure.

Without the fuss of the white-haired girl, the surrounding silence revealed danger, and everyone was full of vigilance.

Li Xiaoming's ability limited everyone's fear, so that they would not be frightened and lose their position when attacked.

About an hour later, under the guidance of the goddess of fate, everyone successfully avoided all threats and arrived at the second destination.

When they took a quick look, everyone was stunned by the images in front of them. Along the way, they could see abandoned houses and traces of previous human life, but they had never been as spectacular and desolate as before.

The high-rise buildings of the past have turned into ruins, like cold tombstones, forgotten in the wilderness.

Green ivy plants are covering every corner of the city, abandoned cars are covered with flowers, cement roads are cracked, and the combination of gray and green is everything in sight.

Jin Chengan sighed: "Where on earth is this place?"

"I didn't expect that there is a city here."

Zach said: "Looking at the degree of weathering, it seems that a long time has passed. The once great buildings of mankind are now in ruins. Apart from us, there should be no indigenous people anymore, right?"

Bai Jing said: "Then you need to be more alert. The closer you get to the last step, the more dangerous it will be."

Li Xiaoming looked at the scene in front of him and seemed to find it inexplicably familiar.

But I just can't remember it. Maybe I can vaguely distinguish it in the bright and dark memories. Unfortunately, I can't call him out. The two personalities have always been connected by a single line.

After all, the scene before us was in ruins, and it was difficult to tell anything from the original urban structure.

Li Xiaoming looked at this deserted city, and the more he looked at it, the more uncomfortable he became. He reminded: "Be careful, don't go in yet, look for some clues around."

Everyone obeyed the order and began to check some useful details around.

For example, the words on the billboard, the brand of the dilapidated car, the sprinkler device that can spray water on the grass, the unclear guide signs, the rags falling on the ground, and the two bloody corpses.

"The text is the same as now, the car brand is unknown, the technological level should be beyond that of Innocence City, the city's infrastructure is still functioning, this street sign can be used as a small map, the material of the rag is nylon, as for the two corpses... …”

Li Xiaoming analyzed what his teammates brought and frowned when he saw the corpse.

The first few discoveries were basically of little use, but the two corpses reminded everyone that this place was not as simple as imagined.

The corpse has been severely deformed, the torso has become thin, the hair has fallen out, and the skin is dull, which seems to be caused by the absorption of life essence. What's more, even the eyeballs have been gouged out.

The only identifying thing is the school badge. The two are students at the University of Warwick. Someone arrived here before them, and something unexpected happened.

The body was completely cold and had been dead for at least 17 hours based on the coagulation of the blood around the scene.

Mo Yue checked and said: "The injuries of the two deceased were different. One was penetrated by a bullet in the back of the head. According to the type of shrapnel, it was estimated to be a 7.62mm Winchester rifle bullet. The other was shot by a sharp blade during close combat. Pierced through the chest and strangled to death."

"It's so shameless to conduct a sneak attack." Bai Jing stared at the two alumni with pity.

Jin Chengan looked at the tortured alumni and felt a kind of anger, "Damn it, don't let us encounter you. I will definitely avenge you."

Chu Moyue continued: "Judging from the surrounding footprints, there were at least four people on the other side, but they only sent two to attack the lone transcendent, which shows that they are powerful.

"All the valuables on the two deceased persons were looted. The battle ended quickly, no more than five minutes, and there were no traces of a violent struggle. The bodies were also insulted, indicating that there were perverts in the opponent's team and there might be collectors. Trophy hobbies.”

Li Xiaoming nodded. He was indeed a professional assassin. There were so many details just by observing them with the naked eye.

"Except for the last point of reservation, there may be some kind of sacrificial act performed by cult members. Don't touch the two corpses with your hands for the time being. I'm afraid there may be a trap. It would be terrible if there is a virus or radiation."

Bai Jing said: "Don't be so vigilant. After all, he is still an alumnus of ours. If he can't return to his hometown, then he must be laid to rest for the safety of the president."

"I know, but conditions don't allow it now. We can't judge whether this is a demonstration, an unintentional move or a trap. It's right to be cautious. Cremation is also a good cultural tradition."

Li Xiaoming's words were very clear, so everyone just let nature take its course and burned the two corpses.

Xing Jialuo rarely showed a sad look. In fact, she didn't understand why she felt sad. Maybe it was exaggerated by the atmosphere around her.

She transformed it into the energy in her hands and burned the two corpses. The white flames were jubilant. The surroundings were enveloped by holy power, and the energy structure of matter was transformed again.

Everyone watched the flames and observed a moment of silence. It is the glorious tradition of the University of Warwick to send farewell words to alumni when they die.

"May the Emperor have mercy on your heroic souls."

"In the name of the extraordinary, glory follows you like a shadow, turning into an eternal and immortal heroic spirit."

After doing all this, everyone felt quite heavy, because they knew in their hearts that this was the beginning, and the next one might be a random person in the team, even Li Xiaoming was no exception.

Everyone had no choice but to explore towards the center of the city, avoiding the streets as much as possible.

You can't separate easily at this time. It's usually like this in horror movies. Those who fall behind die the fastest.

Li Xiaoming suddenly noticed that there were many mushrooms growing around the building, with various colors and shapes, so he warned everyone not to get close to these strange fungi.

Hu Nuo started to calculate with his hands, his expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly said:

"The luck of the Taboo God, if combined with the Idle God, will be bad but not bad, and it will be a fair fortune. Big danger!"

A thick gray fog filled the earth, as if hiding the mystery of the changes in nature.

Li Xiaoming thought of the amulet given by the child before, but the number was limited to only 7. If there were 8 people present, one more person would lose the asylum.

Bai Jing gave Hu Nuo his amulet without hesitation. "The knights of justice will always protect people, but I want to see what dangers there are!"

A thick gray mist shrouded the surroundings. Because of the amulet, everyone could contact each other and emit a lavender light.

Bai Jing suddenly couldn't see everyone in the gray fog. He felt that his vision and hearing were being deprived. He sighed inwardly that something was wrong. It was indeed a bit difficult to deal with.

Jin Chengan suddenly reacted, "Bai Jing seemed to have disappeared after he didn't take the amulet. Just for a moment, I didn't feel why he wasn't there. I even felt that this person didn't exist at all."

"This gray fog is really scary."

Li Xiaoming looked at the seven people around him and said, "It's indeed a bit risky. The white mirror should be around. As long as it doesn't move around and the space is right, with the fog guardian talisman, we should be able to get out safely."

At this time, the mental communication exerted before worked.

Bai Jing was trapped in place and was briefly lost. Although he was close to his teammates, he couldn't feel them.

This made him a little anxious, but he knew in his heart that he must not move and stay calm. The great knight would not panic because of this setback.

When Li Xiaoming's voice came to my mind, I immediately felt at ease.

"Bai Jing, just stay where you are and don't move. I will use the Eye of Detection to find you, then hold my hand and don't let go."

"sure no problem."

Li Xiaoming used the Dream Master's exclusive ability - the Eye of Exploration.

Everything is illusion, and these gray fog's essential abilities only interfere with people's perception.

Xiao Ming quickly saw Bai Jing, then stepped forward and grabbed his hand.

Bai Jing was startled and couldn't help but shudder, but it felt like it was Li Xiaoming who stopped him from panicking.

When the physical touch comes into contact, the two parties are judged to be connected, the five senses are regained, and both parties can perceive the other's existence.

Human beings rely on the five senses of hearing, vision, smell, and taste to perceive the world. In the gray fog, only the touch is probably unaffected, and the taste has not been tested yet.

Li Xiaoming smiled and said, "Hey, I thought that noble knights wouldn't be afraid."

"I...I'm not afraid. The courage enhancement effect you added before has disappeared, and I'm still not scared. I just controlled my muscle reaction and didn't want to accidentally hurt you." Bai Jing explained seriously.

Li Xiaoming just smiled, held his hand and followed everyone.

It seems that the Eye of Exploration is also capable of restraining the effect of fog. If it were anyone else, in this unknown environment, the four senses would be greatly weakened, and the enemy would also wear an amulet to attack, which would probably be a disaster.
