The construction site outside the wall is not large, it should be just the "broken walls" left after the wall was built.
After walking about ten meters outside, you can see a very simple iron wall with many gaps in it, allowing people to enter and exit freely.
Tao E walked to the edge of the iron wall and looked back.
Xia Yanzhen didn't follow and turned around to stare at the tall walls.
"What are you looking at?" Tao E asked.
"There are words on the wall." Xia Yanzhen said.
Tao E walked over and saw through the moonlight that there were not only words on the wall, but also various prohibited signs and pictures.
warn!
No approaching!
Entry is strictly prohibited and you will be responsible for the consequences!
Some of these words and pictures are normal, while others are messy and need to be looked at carefully to distinguish them.
There are also some that are in a mess, and the structure of the ligatures is messed up.
At first glance, it seems to be the same word, but if you look carefully, you will find that it is completely different.
It's like a "masterpiece" drawn casually by a crazy person.
"What a mess, let's go." Tao E said, these warnings and the chaotic ghostly drawings made him feel a little scared.
I don't want to stay in this place for a second longer.
"Oh." Xia Yanzhen nodded and waved the ax in his hand, "What should we do about this?"
"See if you can hide it and take it with you. If you can't, just throw it away." Tao E said.
A fire ax can be used for self-defense and as a handy tool when encountering danger or any situation.
But now Xia Yanzhen's appearance is actually quite strange.
The lower body is wearing a hospital gown and pants, a doctor's white coat, and one hand is holding a fire ax.
He looks like a mental patient who has taken off his doctor's clothes. If someone sees him, they will most likely call the police.
From the current point of view, this crazy town is probably still normal outside the hospital.
Tao E didn't want something like this to happen, where the two of them would be arrested and unable to leave.
Xia Yanzhen searched for it and found a ring buckle inside the white coat, which could just fit the handle of the fire ax into it.
It can be considered as hiding an axe.
After hiding, the two of them walked quickly outside together.
Not long after, they arrived on the street outside.
Although the street lights were still on, the shops on both sides were closed and none of them were open.
Occasionally, one or two cars would pass by at a slow speed, but the streets were deserted on both sides.
The traffic light at the intersection is flashing yellow.
It was a lonely scene late at night, much more lonely than the scene Xia Yanzhen and Tao E saw at the beginning.
"Where are we going now?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
"Find a means of transportation." Tao E said, not knowing how big this Kuangren Town was.
The word "town" has little reference value based on what we have seen.
Soon, the two found the transportation they needed - two bicycles parked on the side of the road.
Only the small lock that comes with it is locked. Let alone Xia Yanzhen, an adult like Tao E can destroy it with violence.
"Why riding a bike..." After choosing a direction and a road, the two started riding. Xia Yanzhen couldn't help but ask.
"Even if I can drive, will you steal a car?" Tao E said.
Xia Yanzhen is not yet an adult, so naturally he can't drive. He plans to learn it during the summer after graduating from high school.
Tao E can drive, but he can't do what characters in movies and TV shows do - punch through the car window with one punch (Xia Yan can really do this for you), then pull out two wires from under the steering wheel of the car and connect them to start driving.
.
Tao E doesn't know how to do this.
So the best means of transportation for them right now is bicycles.
In order to conserve their energy and not knowing where they were going, the two of them rode not very fast.
As time went by, Tao E's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he braked to a stop.
Xia Yanzhen, who was next to me, followed and parked the car.
"Something's not right." Tao E said, "Look at the street, not a single pedestrian, not a single shop is open, and now there aren't even cars."
"Yeah." Xia Yanzhen nodded.
"There must be something wrong with this ghost place. We need to find a place to hide for a while." Tao E analyzed.
There is a high probability that dangers are hidden in the surrounding environment that is too quiet.
Tao E decided not to wander around again.
"good."
As a pure newcomer, Xia Yan really follows the advice, and newbies should have a newbie consciousness.
Xia Yanzhen frowned slightly and silently retreated behind Tao E. This was the correct operation.
The street lights on both sides of the road were still on. Tao E took a look and chose a shop on the roadside to go there.
This store is a men's clothing store. It doesn't look big. It has a glass door on the outside and a rolling shutter door that partially pulls down on the inside.
The lower bodies of the two mannequin dummies can be seen.
The door handle of the glass door is locked with a long, common large U-shaped lock whose body and head can be completely separated.
"Give me the ax... No, you better do it. If that doesn't work, let's move to another place." Tao E changed his mind mid-sentence.
Xia Yanzhen walked over, without taking out the ax hidden in his clothes, and directly held the lock body and head with both hands.
In Tao E's surprised eyes, he pulled to both sides.
With the sound of metal cracking, the lock head and body were successfully separated.
"You still said you didn't get any benefits from your mission?" Tao E looked at Xia Yanzhen.
The young man is dishonest.
Xia Yan walked over to the lake and said, "Maybe there is, but I didn't find it myself."
It was hard for him to say that his terrifying physical condition had nothing to do with this strange "dream".
The two walked into the clothing store and fumbled to turn on the lights. They found it was not big and empty.
There is a bathroom at the back, and there are no stairs leading to the second floor. It is just a simple storefront.
After checking it again, Tao E turned off the lights, leaving only the lamp on the cashier counter.
He walked to the door, pulled the rolling shutter down a little, squatted and looked outside: "You'd better change your clothes."
"Okay." Xia Yanzhen found a suit of black casual clothes of a suitable size that was convenient for sports and changed into them.
"Dangdangdang..."
Suddenly, a bell rang out from nowhere.
Three times in total.
It shows that it is three o'clock in the morning.
Tao E's eyes, which were observing the outside, first narrowed, then widened, and he called to Xia Yanzhen: "Come and take a look."
Xia Yanzhen leaned over and looked outside together.
On the originally deserted street, a few more figures appeared.
"Appeared out of thin air?" he asked.
"No, one came out of a place I didn't notice, and the other two came out of those closed shops." Tao E said.
"They stay up most of the night, are they sleepwalking?"
"...You still can't see?" Tao E turned his head and glanced at Xia Yanzhen.
The "people" wandering the streets are the same as the one who showed off his power in the hospital bed at the beginning.
The body is covered with black hair, clearly a monster.
"No, I think they are just like ordinary people sleepwalking." Xia Yanzhen shook his head. He didn't see half of the hair - there was already there, and the hair that could be seen was not counted.
"Yeah." Tao E nodded slightly and continued to observe.
Those black-haired monsters wander the streets, like the patrolling monsters in the game.
As time goes by, there are more and more. The number that Tao E can see alone is probably hundreds.
I don’t know how many places there are if I haven’t seen them.
"Huh..." Tao E breathed out softly, and secretly praised his wit.
If they stay outside, they will be attacked by these black-haired monsters.
"Remember, at three o'clock in the evening, there will be black-haired monsters wandering outside." Tao E said while looking outside.
"good."
There are no computers or anything like that at the counter, but there are computers, notebooks, and pens.
Xia Yanzhen tore off a piece of paper and wrote what Tao E said.
"Is there any more?" he asked after finishing writing.
"I'll take a closer look and see if there's anything like a map." Tao E said.
Xia Yanzhen rummaged around and found no local map.
Maps of local cities or towns are rare.
Time passes little by little.
Those black-haired monsters came and went, and their number was reduced to only a few scattered ones.
Xia Yanzhen glanced at the clock on the wall inside the store and saw that the time had reached 4:30.
Suddenly, there was a distinct engine sound.
A car drove quickly, with several black-haired monsters lying on the front hood and roof of the car.
The car drove crookedly on the road, knocked over several black-haired monsters, and traversed the street with the sound of brakes.
The three black-haired monsters in the car were thrown off.
The remaining three or four black-haired monsters immediately rushed over and surrounded the car and started smashing it.
"There are six in total... My soul screams, plus Xiaoxia, we should be able to handle it." Tao E's mind was spinning at high speed.
Now we need an intelligence source to try to figure out the situation in this crazy town.
Just like a wild bull, there will definitely be unknown dangers no matter if you hit it in one direction, but going out to save people now is a visible danger.
Tao E weighed it up and decided decisively: "Let's go in and save people."
"Okay." Xia Yanzhen agreed.
The two of them immediately walked out of the shop, Tao E taking the lead and opening his mouth.
Vaguely visible ripples gushed out from his mouth, hitting three black-haired monsters that came over after noticing the two of them.
The three black-haired monsters trembled and fell to the ground, twitching twice and becoming motionless.
The remaining black-haired monsters immediately abandoned the car and rushed towards the two of them.
Tao E slowed down and retreated behind Xia Yanzhen.
Xia Yanzhen also caught up with the "person" at the front. He hesitated and did not use the ax he was carrying in his right hand.
Instead, his left hand moved forward, grabbing the person's head at an extremely fast speed and throwing him aside.
Immediately afterwards, with two more casual waves, the other two black-haired monsters were whipped - or pushed to the ground.
Three black-haired monsters were eliminated in less than two seconds.
Not at all slower than Tao E.
Xia Yanzhen showed a puzzled expression and looked at his hands.
"What's wrong?" Tao E asked.
"Um... no, let's talk about it later." Xia Yanzhen shook his head and said.
Now is not the time.
Except for the first blow, it can be said that he didn't use any force at all. The three black-haired monsters fell down with the slightest contact——
The black-haired monster was what Tao E saw and called him.
In Xia Yanzhen's eyes, the livid complexions lying on the ground were clearly corpses.
