This scratch does not look like a human palm, but looks like the claws of a carnivore.
"Are there any wild animals in Devil City?"
"There is no grass growing there, and there is no water flow. If there are wild animals, how do the animals live? And since we entered the Devil City, we have not seen any wild animals, not even an ant or a bird. In fact, there are many animals all over the world.
There are several such devil cities in our country. As far as I know, they are found in southern and northern Xinjiang. They are natural landscapes formed by special landforms, complex geographical environment, and harsh climate."
Ye Fu nodded, "Indeed, I have read these records in the book. The Devil City has always had many gorgeous legends. There are rumors that the Devil City is a lost ancient country. The souls of the ancient countries are wandering in the Devil City. No matter where in the world,
People who enter the Devil's City find it difficult to get out, and there are also rumors that the Devil's City is another magical world."
After Ye Fu finished speaking, he realized that the three of them were looking at her intently.
"What's wrong?"
"Sister Ye Fu, where did you see this from?" Luo Yang couldn't help but ask.
"Don't you know these rumors from various novels, or forums, or posts from more than ten years ago?"
Luo Yang shook his head, and Han Feng frowned, "Are there really ghosts in the world?"
"Instead of saying it's a ghost, I think it's a magnetic field problem, causing hallucinations or disordered memories."
"But if it's just an illusion, how can I explain these scratches on my body?"
Han Feng exposed his arm, and there was a blood hole in the front that was healing.
"There has never been a fight with my teammates, and this kind of wound cannot be caused by man. I feel that if there are no ghosts in the Devil City, there must be jackals."
Ye Fu looked at the bloody hole on his arm and felt uncomfortable all over.
The bloody hole was like a cursed symbol and a bottomless abyss.
A voice in her mind told her to stay away from the Devil City and not to be curious.
"Don't get water on your wounds. Be careful of inflammation and pus. Anyway, we have to take a detour. No matter what is in the Devil's City, it has nothing to do with us."
Luo Yang nodded aside, "Sister Ye Fu is saying, Captain Han, your wound is so serious, you need to wear more clothes. If the wound becomes inflamed, people will have a fever. We are in the wild now, so we must pay attention to our health."
"Thank you for your concern. The wound doesn't hurt. I've brought some medicine. So, should we continue on our way tonight, or should we find a place to rest and set off again at dawn tomorrow?"
"Of course we need to find a place to rest. Traveling in the dark can easily lead to accidents."
After chatting, the four of them continued on their way. Ye Fu and Jiang Run were a little behind. They looked at each other and already knew what the other was thinking.
"Jiang Run, the injuries on Han Feng's body, what kind of animal scratches do you think they are?"
Jiang Run frowned slightly, "It looks very much like something caught with a wolf's claws. Animals like wolves can survive in the harshest environments. Han Feng said that not a single blade of grass can grow in the Devil City, but if the Devil City is very big, what he sees is just
It’s just a corner without any grass, I have another idea.”
Jiang Run looked into Ye Fu's eyes and said word by word, "Do you still remember the group of savages who captured Qi Yuan and the others?"
Ye Fu frowned, "You mean, there are savages in Devil City?"
"This is just my imagination. When we killed those savages, I observed their physical characteristics. The savages, regardless of gender, were very tall, had long arms, and their nails were as hard and sharp as wolf claws. Most importantly, Han
The snow holes on Feng’s arms look like they were dug out with fingers.”
Jiang Run reached out and pinched Ye Fu's arm.
"The blood hole in Han Feng's arm is on the left side of his arm, which is what I look like. Look, when I pinch your arm like this, the place where I press my thumb is the same as the blood hole."
Ye Fu was enlightened, and it must be said that Jiang Run observed more carefully than she did.
"Why not normal humans, but savages?"
Jiang Run chuckled, "It might be a normal human being, but if a normal human wants to pierce the flesh of his arm and leave a bloody hole, unless he has the same internal strength as the people in martial arts novels, it will be difficult to do it."
"I also have another idea."
Ye Fu looked at Jiang Run. At this moment, Jiang Run understood what she meant.
“The failure of gene editing in humans.”
"Do you think this is possible?"
Jiang Run smiled and nodded, "I can't rule out this possibility."
As expected, Ye Fu doesn't have much of an adventurous spirit, nor is she particularly curious. What's more, her sixth sense tells her that the Devil's City is very dangerous.
Riding horses to catch up with the two people in front of them, they were still on the grasslands of Meng Province. In the evening, the fog began to disperse, and many dilapidated mud houses appeared in the distance, as well as several crooked electric poles entangled with creeping plants.
, the rain gradually stopped, but the dark clouds are overcast. It is expected that there will be a heavy rain tonight or tomorrow.
"Han Feng, is the road right?"
"Yes, did you see the red cloth on the electric pole in front? It was the mark we made when we came back."
Luo Yang gave Han Feng a thumbs up and said, "You kid, you have a problem. No wonder I said I saw a lot of red cloth along the way. It turned out to be marks, and you only said it now."
Han Feng's serious face finally squeezed out a smile, "We were worried about the weathering of the red cloth. We also made marks with red paint on the places where the red cloth was. If I remember correctly, the mark in front of it is called a broken house."
The four of them rode horses and came to the electric pole. Jiang Run, who had a sharp eye, saw at a glance the words "Broken House" written in red paint on a stone under the electric pole.
"The mark is here." Seeing that Luo Yang and Ye Fu hadn't seen the mark yet, Jiang Run got off his horse and kicked the big rock with his feet.
"It's true." Luo Yang was a little excited. He dismounted and walked to the stone, took off his gloves and touched the three crooked words on it.
"We stayed here for one night, it was the mud house in front."
Leading the horse to the earthen house in front, Han Feng walked in. The inside of the earthen house was full of spider webs and even two snake skins.
"Let's go. The wind is light now. Let's continue on our way to the junction of Ning Province and find a place to rest."
They must enter Ning Province before dark, and they can save the scenery along the way to appreciate it when they return.
Ye Fu felt like her butt was about to be bruised. When she stopped to rest at night, she had to go into the space to apply some medicine. Her thighs were probably bleeding, but she had rough skin and thick flesh, so she would be able to recover tomorrow.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the sky began to darken and the fog appeared again.
The junction of Ning Province and Mongolia Province was right in front, and the four of them rushed towards the boundary marker at the junction.
Seeing the red cloth tied to the boundary monument, Ye Fu and Jiang Run high-fived in celebration, and Luo Yang and Han Feng couldn't help but laugh.
"Today's journey is finally over."
