One hundred and eighty-six them. Shrouded the earth
Lu Lianna fell outside the city wall of Flalund City.
The number of bloody dandelions around has not decreased as a result. They still cover the land, and it can be confirmed that this city has been invaded by them.
However, they are afraid of fire. Maybe Flarund City is not as... irredeemable as the Kingdom of Allen.
When you look through the blood-red gauze, you can see thick smoke rising from all over the city, which means that there are still people who have survived and know the weaknesses of the Dandelions.
Lu Li and Anna, who had put on black robes, walked through the city gate into this city that was silent and silent. The bloody dandelions shrouded in mist avoided them one after another. They could be seen everywhere on the streets, as if they had been baked by the high temperature and no moisture was left.
There are dehydrated mummies, and there is a layer of red hair growing on their shriveled corpses. You don’t need to get close to know what it is.
They arrive after daybreak, and only then do residents leave their homes.
Lu Li looked at the buildings on both sides of the street and looked for the sign of the police station. There would be a map of the city and he could find the location of the sanatorium in Flalende City.
However, after walking two blocks, a few outlines slowly emerged in the faint blood-colored haze in front of the street.
Those figures were walking on the streets wearing strange beak masks and closed coats. The mummies on the ground whispered something, poured kerosene on them and lit them, sending the hotbed of bloody dandelions and the dead away from this world together, just like this city.
The scavenger.
The figures noticed Lu Li and Anna on the street and walked towards them. Until they were close enough, they could clearly see a tall figure and a low figure standing among the bloody dandelions without any protection, and they also avoided them as if they were encountering natural enemies.
Stopping uneasily.
"Senior Investigator Lu Li." Lu Li took out his badge to reassure them.
These scavengers easily believed Lu Li's words and walked towards them. Anna was a little confused, but she quickly remembered that this was not the chaotic King Allen City where everyone was suspicious of each other.
"Are you sent by the United Exorcists to support us?" The muffled voice behind the beak mask was full of surprise.
"I'm here for other things." Lu Li's eyes fell on the burning corpse behind them. The bloody dandelions all avoided the area. "I don't have any better way to deal with them."
The scavengers expressed disappointment, but asked, "So how can we help you?"
This is exactly what Lu Li needs: "Where is the Flalende Sanatorium?"
"Sanatorium..." They looked at each other, communicated in low voices for a moment, and then turned back and said: "There is no sanatorium with this name in Lund. Are you sure it is here?"
Flalende Sanatorium is not necessarily in Flalende City - just like Tranquility Castle is in the west of the Main Continent, which is more than two thousand miles away from the Tranquility Plains.
"It was built decades or a hundred years ago. Maybe other buildings were built there," Lu Li said.
The scavenger suggested: "Perhaps you can go to the city hall and ask, they know very well about the past."
"How to get there."
"We are preparing to go to the supply point to replenish kerosene. We can take you two there." The scavenger shook the empty oil drum in his hand and said.
"Thanks."
Following the scavengers through the bloody mist, Lu Li asked about the situation in the city.
"It's serious, but it's under control. They can't get through houses and leather clothes, and they're afraid of flames. As long as they hide in the house and block all the gaps, they can't get in."
The leading scavenger replied: "We have cleared the streets around the city hall, but there are too many of these monsters, and they are still being created. We have no choice but to go out to find the bodies of the victims and burn them."
"Do you still want to stay in this city?" Lu Li asked.
"Of course...why do you ask that?" The scavenger was stunned? As members of Flalund, of course they must stay in the land of their fathers——
"Even if the dandelions are cleaned up, as long as there is one left, tens of thousands of dandelions will be born after touching the body. Spreading rapidly, just like the plague."
Unless the residents of Flalund City will only go out wearing airtight leather clothes and masks from now on, leaving no gaps in their homes? Otherwise, sooner or later, the bloody dandelions clinging to somewhere will erupt again.
It is much easier to deal with than the plague, but its terror is far beyond that of the plague.
"Then let's destroy all the dandelions!" A reluctant and childish voice came from one of the scavengers.
"Even if you burn down the entire city, you can't do this." Lu Li's words were not euphemistic. It was hard to accept: "They will stay in the water, in the basement, high in the sky, and around the city. As long as there is wind, they can do it at any time.
Comeback.
Dead towns and villages that have been ravaged by the plague often remain deserted for decades - because people are afraid of the plague and because the plague may still linger in that land.
There was silence for half a street, and the leader, who was worried, told Lu Li: "I hope you can tell the city lord about this. He will know whether we should stay...or leave."
"I will."
This is not troublesome.
Lu Li's directness also revealed its disadvantages: those who wanted to save Lund rather than escape created some distance from him. It wasn't until twenty minutes later that they approached the city hall - a burning fence was erected around the building to disperse the dandelions.
marble building.
The leader told Lu Li that he could enter the hall to find the city lord and dispersed in front of the fence. Before leaving, the young voice who had opposed Lu Li suddenly asked Lu Li in a low voice: "Is it an evil spirit?"
"I don't know either." Lu Li shook his head.
They have entities, more like some kind of mutated plants. But the bloody dandelions never appeared before the strange invasion.
The young man regretfully caught up with the team, while Lu Li and Anna walked towards the fence.
Although there were torches placed around the city hall roof and in front of the doors and windows to disperse dandelions, people still wore closed leather jackets to isolate themselves from the outside world. The two people who were not wearing protective clothing were the focus of people who were busy around the city hall. They were watching? Lu Li asked
Staff at the fence: "Senior Investigator Lu Li, I want to find your city lord."
"The city lord is making arrangements in the lobby? You can see him when you go in." The staff who didn't react didn't even see the badge and said blankly? Then they couldn't help but ask: "How do you get rid of the monster dandelion..."
"Not copyable."
Unless they can cooperate with the ghost.
The staff showed disappointment. Lu Li and Anna walked past him and walked up the steps into the hall of the city hall.
The Lord of Flalende, a middle-aged man with curly brown hair and a haggard expression, was writing something on the desk in front of the podium.
A waiter walked up to him and whispered something. The city lord who was writing raised his head and looked at Lu Li and Anna who walked into the hall.
