Chapter 48 The Living

The moment Lu Lie raised his foot, the three people also moved.

They quickly looked like preying lizards, straight and thrust towards Lu Lie's back.

"roar!"

Lu Lie was prepared for a long time. He listened to the wind to distinguish the sound and knew that someone was coming from behind. He turned around and opened his mouth and sprayed a ball of flame. The spark fell on the long man's body, and the fire instantly rose. In a moment, it turned into a scorching flame, completely swallowing the three of them.

"Bao, tick, slap, coax, huh."

In the flames, a long man rolled back and forth on the ground in pain, but his voice was like a robot, calmly making these three strange sounds.

"Bao, tick, slap, coax, huh."

The other two firemen struggled desperately in the flames, their bodies twisted, but their voices were abnormally calm, and they pronounced this syllable of unknown significance in unison.

"Bao, tick, slap, coax, huh."

Before they were burned, the three elders sang quietly together.

They didn't make any big resistance, just rolled back and forth on the ground a few times, and were burned into a human form by the fire. With the last jump of the residual fire, three black residues of human form were left on the ground.

"What the hell is this...?"

Lu Lie was still scared and slowly walked towards the area where they were burned to ashes. He squatted down, pinched a little black residue, put it beside his nose and smelled it. There was still a burning stench in the fog, but these three weirdos had long disappeared.

Lu Lie worked on it for a long time and found nothing.

He thought there would be a fierce battle. He was ready in his heart. If the fire wall could not stop these three monsters and let them get close to him, he would summon the armor of the iron-capped tortoise and fight with them with a long machete.

This... is too weak?

It’s not the same level as the zombies encountered on the tree walls, right?

After encountering such a small episode on the road, Lu Lie did not dare to stop and continued walking in this misty city.

The little boy pointed to was not a big mistake. After crossing the intersection, Lu Lie went straight along the avenue and soon found a family with lights in a broken empty house on the street.

Although he didn't understand very well why the lights in this wine shop were dark blue. From a distance, it looked like a large jellyfish floating in a white void.

When Lu Lie approached the wine shop, he saw that there was a wooden board hanging diagonally at the door of the spider web as a signboard, with four big characters scratched with a knife, "Good Wine Shop". The lights in the wine shop were dim, but there were many people sitting on each table and chair, both of which were tall and thin, and they were all aimed at Lu Lie outside the door, motionless, as if waiting patiently for the serving.

"Huh? The street is empty. It turns out that the people in this small wine shop are so dense?"

Lu Lie was so vigilant that he felt suspicious. He took his feet to the door railing back. He looked into the wine shop a few times, and suddenly realized that those backs were not living people? They were clearly human-shaped stone sculptures!

Just looking closely, the stone carving was too realistic. The thin thread-like hair on men, women, young and old, the folds of the corners of the clothes, and the bulging wraps around the waist were all lifelike, as if they were living people.

It's not like the craftsmanship of a magical craftsmanship, it seems... the shell of a living person is covered with a layer of stone and sand.

Lu Lie felt chill in his heart, he took a few steps back, and glanced at the darkness inside the wine shop.

Before he left the alley, the little boy's tone was filled with horror and rang in his ears again, "You got there and opened a wine shop, and now you should... be run by normal people."

“This city is accelerating alienation!”

Deep in the wine shop, surrounded by many stone people, Lu Lie discovered the back of a living person. The man was particularly tall and burly, and his two thick arms alone would occupy a position. The man also looked like other stone people, with his back facing Lu Lie, looking at the direction of the kitchen of the wine shop, motionless.

Lu Lie always felt that the man's back looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember it anyway. When his eyes moved to the shocking scar on his neck, Lu Lie felt a little stern, and he subconsciously blurted out:

"Yang Wei?!"

When the big man heard someone calling him, he turned around among the many stone people and glanced at Lu Lie. This person was Yang Wei.

Suddenly, dozens of thoughts rushed into Lu Lie's mind instantly. How did he untie the rope? Why was he here? What was he waiting for when he stayed here? What was the use of so many stone people? Millions of doubts made Lu Lie at a loss. No matter how smart he was, he would never understand the clues.

At this time, Yang Wei also saw Lu Lie. The expression on his face was no worse than Lu Lie. From shock, to fear, to anxiety, and anger, they jumped out of his face one by one in order.

"Don't come in!" Yang Wei lowered his voice and shouted angrily to Lu Lie, "Don't come in!"

The lights inside the wine shop were dim and Lu Lie could not see clearly. At this time, Yang Wei's condition was really weird. His upper body turned toward Lu Lie, but his lower body was still fixed on the seat, as if his butt and a wooden chair were connected. Moreover, his tone was excited and anxious. He obviously wanted to roar loudly, but forced himself to lower his voice. It seemed like... he woke up something deep in the wine shop when he was afraid of his loud voice.

Although Lu Lie was not sure, he stopped at the door. He gestured to him not to panic for the first time, and asked in the same low voice: "What's going on."

"I don't know! This damn ghost place!" Yang Wei turned around and looked back at the deepest part of the wine shop, and turned around to tell Lu Lie, "This place is very evil! It seems that there is a strange rule. When a living person comes in, he will become a stone man if he stays in it for more than an hour... My feet and butt seem to have been petrified!"

Lu Lie understood halfway in his heart. So many stone people were probably the adventurers who came here before. But he was still a little puzzled: "Then why haven't you come out yet!"

"Be good! This is the sinister part of this black shop!" Yang Wei was so angry that he gently smashed the table with his fist, "Once you come in and want to go out, you must trick another person in! In short, you must always maintain that there is someone in the store!"

Lu Liexin beat slightly. If it was really as he said, then if he had stepped into the wine shop like this, Yang Wei would have taken the risk.

It seems that he would rather turn into a stone sculpture than frame himself.

This is in line with Yang Wei's generous and righteous character along the way.

However, isn’t this contradictory to the previous observation of his sinister and fickle personality when he saw it in the time and space wall?

Could it be that I was wrongly blamed him now?

It was difficult to tell whether it was true or false for a moment. Lu Lie looked at Yang Wei in front of him and fell into deep thought.
