In fact, when they noticed that the environment was improving, they were already very close to the oasis.
The sky is still dark, with endless dust flooding the sky. From time to time, lightning turns into silver snakes and strikes the earth, rendering the world like a dark hell. Looking at the bare mountains in the distance, the oasis is hidden there.
in.
The situation here is slightly better than where Mo Xiao and the others met Strange before, but it is only better, and the environment is still harsh.
The Gray Crow flew alone in the sky and was too conspicuous. Except for the bell, Mo Xiao and the others got off the plane before approaching. With their foot strength, the distance was nothing.
The river they went up along the way extended all the way into the mountains. The water in the river was turbid and there was a foul smell. Even if they were wearing masks, they could smell the smell.
Ye Xiaoying covered her nose and frowned tightly. Seeing this, Mo Xiao asked worriedly: "Are you okay?"
This person has had the experience of being fainted by the smell, and the nose spirit is really a negative BUFF in many cases.
"Fortunately, the smell is really indescribable..." Ye Xiaoying shook her head and said.
"Domestic sewage is discharged directly into this river. It is normal for the smell to be bad."
Patty glanced at the sewage in the river and said, "The living conditions in the oasis may be worse than I thought."
The few people stopped talking. As the few people moved forward, passing through a gap in the mountains, the appearance of the oasis also appeared in front of them.
The oasis is located in the valley between the mountains. It is completely different from the green land or fortress they expected. It is not a bunker or anything like that. What appears in front of them is a steel city, which is different from the human cities in the outside world.
This city is stacked up layer by layer, and the first impression you get is that of chaos. Various man-made buildings fill every corner of the valley, filled with an old atmosphere, like an old man lingering on.
Average.
"It's so bad..." Long Qinghong couldn't help but sigh.
Patty shrugged: "It's understandable that oasis land is limited. If you can't expand outward as the population grows, you can only expand upward."
"The toxins in the air are less than where we landed." The mysterious pendant shook and said, "According to my estimation, when we actually enter the valley, the toxin content will be further reduced."
Thinking of the content in Strange's letter, Mo Xiao's heart moved: "The role of the seed of birth is to purify toxins?"
Mo Xiao is not the only one who thinks so, but others also think so. Otherwise, why would the concentration of toxins in this valley be so much lower? They didn't see any special devices purifying toxins.
After thinking about it, the only possibility is the mysterious seed of birth.
The mysterious pendant hesitated and replied: "Nine times out of ten, but since I haven't seen the real thing, I can only guess."
"Shall we go directly into the city?" Reyes turned around and asked. They were now standing on a hillside, and they didn't find anything like a wall. They could enter the town as long as they walked straight.
It is strange to say that there are abyss demons wandering in the dark area, but the people here live in the valley but do not build any defensive buildings, not even the most basic walls, and there is not even a person patrolling the surrounding areas.
Aren't you afraid of the abyss demon coming?
This is simply a strange thing that I can’t figure out.
"Where to go into the city? The government office? We know too little about the oasis." Ye Xiaoying said hesitantly.
Patty shook her hand: "No, I don't suggest going to the government office directly. We don't know what the people here's attitude is towards us, and I suggest it's better to know more about this city first."
Mo Xiao pondered for a moment and then nodded: "What you said makes sense. Let's go find Strange's sister. She is from some government department. From her, we can talk about it in a roundabout way. Maybe there will be something else."
It’s a harvest, and it’s natural to send home letters home.”
Reyes admired Strange, a man who had the courage to take risks, so Mo Xiao's words played into his mind, and others had no objections either.
Because Long Qinghong didn't understand the language here, she had to pretend to be deaf-mute. Some important things would be told to her by other people's voices. This technique was not too difficult for the big demon, at least among them.
Several of them can do it.
Going down the hillside, they were on guard all the way. Just because they didn't see any defense mechanisms didn't mean they didn't have them. It was definitely right to be cautious in this strange place. However, when they walked into the city safely and without any obstruction, they fully understood.
The oasis is really completely undefended.
The air in the Oasis City was still not good, but when Mo Xiao and the others took off their masks, they found that the toxins in the air had indeed been purified as expected. At least based on their physical fitness,
Breathing without a mask is not a big problem.
The mysterious pendant learned the technique of gathering sounds into lines. He said to everyone in Mo Xiao's pocket: "The people here should have developed some antibodies to natural toxins, but even so, I think if they don't take protective measures, their life span will be very low."
It’s not too high.”
The smell of smoke and dust here is very strong, which is part of the waste gas produced by industrial development. On the earth, it must be a proper industrial pollution, the kind that will attract investigation by the relevant departments, but no one here cares about it. After all, in this country
Outside the oasis, there are many places worse than here. When it is difficult to survive, no one will care about environmental pollution.
Mo Xiao looked around. Steel was growing wildly like a jungle. Some walls were damaged, exposing the pipes and metal structures inside. Various residential houses were stacked one on top of another like building blocks. The whole thing revealed a certain
Feeling messy, a road about a few meters wide stretched in front of them. What they stood on was not the land, but a layer of steel ground. When they stepped on it, they could hear the hollow echo coming from below.
Other buildings exist, but their location is just one of the floors.
The line of sight extends along the road in front of me. Among the many buildings crowded together, there is a white windmill that is particularly eye-catching. It keeps rotating. There are some chimneys emitting white smoke next to it. You can hear some huge gears working together.
The voice came from over there, monotonous and noisy.
Around them, some workers pushing carts were busy going back and forth. These people had dark skin and were covered with a layer of cinders. When facing Mo Xiao and the others, they acted very indifferently and walked in a hurry.
There is no intention to talk to them.
Coming to get to know this place, Mo Xiao and the others were not in a hurry and walked forward along the road. However, before they had gone far, they heard a very unfamiliar voice with a low volume.
