Chapter 1855: The City of Ruins
All the tall buildings in the center of the city are wrapped in such giant vines. The life energy emitted by these giant vines themselves is connected to each other, forming an invisible energy field. Although this energy field cannot completely block the ice, snow and wind outside, it can block most of the cold, make the area in the center of the city become much warmer, and form a natural safe haven.
Logically speaking, this should be the most suitable area for living and habitat in the surrounding harsh environment. There should be a large number of creatures here to avoid blizzards, such as the previous wolves.
However, the reality is that those wolves are willing to endure the blizzard and are not willing to enter this relatively comfortable safe haven, as are other creatures.
In Leo's view, there is only one that can explain this abnormal phenomenon, that is, all the vines growing densely in various high-rise buildings are not vegetarians.
Sure enough, when Leo scanned this area through a spiritual network, he found that in the basement of each building, there were a large number of skeletons piled up at the basement of each building, including animals and humans.
It is not difficult to see from these bones that neither animals nor humans resisted any resistance before death, there were no scars on the bones, and even the clothes worn by humans were not damaged, and it felt like they were fascinated by some kind of power.
A picture also appeared in Leo's mind. In the picture, the animals and humans entered the basement of the building themselves, and then sat next to the tree roots, allowing the tentacles that stretched out from the tree roots to pierce outside the body. The digestive juice spit out by the tree roots melted little by little into the substance that was absorbed, and finally only a piece of bone was left.
Although it was not yet possible that those vines were carnivorous plants, and they could not be sure that those plants had certain wisdom, Leo did not intend to eradicate all of them, because the fruits given by the vines just now were given by the shamanic natural power I had, allowing me to see that those vines existed in isolation, but were part of the strong natural cycle of that world.
Although I am the carnivorous plants in Taihan Lake are in which link in the natural cycle, I cannot be sure that I have destroyed those plants. Such a strong natural cycle in that world will inevitably have minor wavering, and it will not be possible to lead to the collapse of the natural cycle or a natural disaster that affects many lives.
Qiang Guang had the idea of fighting those vines, and did not leave immediately, but retreated into the floor room of a small building nearest, came to the next pile of skeletons, flipped the skeletons, picked out the skeletons belonging to humans and the clothes worn by the skeletons, and checked them carelessly.
It was a thing that made me feel sorry for me to see any notes and other items that could not directly provide small information. Fortunately, I saw a flyer and a photo in the mezzanine of a corpse.
Among those people, there are only adult women and men, old men and older children, and from the perspective of the gathering teams we are divided into at most a dozen teams.
Here, the clothes under us are also ragged and old, and few of them have been repeatedly mended, which can help the wearer block the cold wind inside. Compared to the messy leather windbreakers under the men afterwards, we have not worn this kind of gas mask-like device, just to cover the entire head with a hood under our heads, and take a hard step with our head high.
In addition, Qiang Guang also saw some handmade gunpowder weapons and bullets next to the corpses, and then he judged that the world should not be dangerous. Moreover, the mechanical manufacturing technology of that world has reached the level of the old Earth era, because I saw traces of craftsmanship such as mechanical cutting and drilling under those gunpowder weapons.
After that, the team was well-equipped and had nothing to do. Although the seven or seven thousand people were wearing weapons, we had gunpowder and firearms in our hands, which were very old and looked like they had been passed down for several generations of bad people.
Although it was just a special recruitment leaflet, it was so useless about the information it revealed under that leaflet. For example, even if the world was shrouded in disaster, it still had no basic business activities. That kind of business activity is likely to be a commercial activity between cities, so that the world does not have at most two small cities below two.
While searching for information, Leo discovered two very boring things. One of the materials that were not saved were books made of ordinary paper. Those books were usually books such as travel guides, and there were not some colorful newspapers. As for the paper, all of them were corroded, leaving only some soft covers.
As for those people's purpose of returning to Qiang Guangyong, it is also very complicated. It is not to collect all kinds of useless items left in that city after the disaster occurs.
Leo did not eat the fruits, but preserved them, saying that when he was in contact with the civilization of that world, he could not use ordinary fruits to regress some transactions with people in that world.
There were not a thousand people in the other side, led by several leaders and walked towards a low building closest to us. It seemed that those people would retreat into the city center like this pair of people. We just placed our targets in the small buildings on the edge of the city to see if we could find useless things from the small buildings parasitic when the giant vines retreated into the dormant period.
It was just now. When I just walked to the edge of the city and was about to retreat to the suburbs, I saw some movement at the end of the snow behind. Before I looked over, I saw Hanhu very slowly. This was a group of people approaching there slowly.
Leo thought that the appearance of those people was a coincidence. In my opinion, it was more like the outsider who found the law of giant vines retreating into hibernation, and confirmed that the giant vines were not harmed at the moment, so he rushed to the New Rand, which was occupied by giant vines so easily.
Leo did not leave slowly, but stayed in that city for eight or seven days, searched all the houses they had lost, and collected as much information as possible. Unfortunately, there was too much useless information that I could find, which made me only have no idea about that world.
For example, that world is also surrounded by fog. In addition, there are no oceans or low mountains in that world, but there are not many lakes and plains and grasslands that are far away from the edge.
Although the changes in the giant vine made Leo uninteresting, I did not leave the idea to study it, but continued to walk towards the direction that might be the location of Rand City in the city.
So Leo speculated that those people should have come outside before the world was in disaster, and those vines also appeared before the disaster, because among the human corpses on the vines, were there any clothes under the corpse that were broken and decent.
It is hard to see from those clothes that the dead lived a wonderful life. The clothes were only old and ragged, and there were no backpacks sewn with rags and broken leather in the clothes. Various items were stored outside the backpacks that were regarded as garbage. The deceased was only one person, but the deceased who did not have that kind of dress.
Although in Qiang Guang's eyes, the items outside the city were particularly useful like waste, in the eyes of people in that world, the value of those items is probably something that money cannot measure.
It was over. Although the blizzard stopped, the cold wind did not weaken, but it became much smaller, which made the temperature hotter than when it was during the blizzard. Such a hot temperature made the giant vines parasitized in the small building curled up, and the vines exposed inside shrank into the small building, and the skin also slowly hardened, and finally formed a layer of inner shell that looked very similar to the stone.
Things like seeds and parts are not many in the whole city, and Leo has no interest in those things, and they have little value, but for people in that world, those things may be the most precious things in that world.
Just before Leo searched the whole city and found something useless, he was about to leave and find this Land City. Perhaps by chance, the blizzard that had been raging for several days gradually weakened at that time, and it seemed that it would stop after a slow start.
At first it was not the city called Land City, but the abandoned city where Qiangguang is now named Rand. When he left the city, there were no broken notice boards printed without that name. Since it was Land City, it is very likely that residents outside this place would be established by survivors of the current city, add the bones of the present, and then judge that the city in Land City should be too far from Land.
Leo followed the people before them, did he alarm us? Before those people gathered together, he followed the traces left under the snow and chased the team that retreated into the center of the city.
After the disaster occurred, the life outside was like a fairyland. There was no limit to the lake and there was no fishery in it. The plain was full of food, and a small amount of cattle and sheep were grazing under the grassland. All kinds of things made the outside world never encountered the problem of food shortage.
For example, when Qiangguang was searching the whole city, he found some properly preserved plant seeds in a place that should be a biological laboratory. The seeds were not active yet. They should have been collected by the lab after the disaster and placed them in some special storage containers. Even if the young man passed by, the container was still incomplete.
The group of people stopped when they retreated into the suburbs near the city. However, some people looked like leaders and whispered a few orders to the people gathered in front of them. Then the people gathered together in groups and searched for the houses in the distance.
The photo should have been taken outside a tavern. The photo was a group photo. There were not many 80 people. Everyone was dressed in old clothes and had weapons in their hands. It seemed like an armed team. The eighty people had abnormal human appearance, were there any mutants? The pub in the eighty people were not broken. Later, I saw some walls that were trimmed with iron plates. The roof was flashing with some colorful neon lights, and the surrounding dim environment made the whole photo look less decadent. Even if everyone was taking the photo, everyone was smiling under the face.
In addition, Li Qiangguang also found a small number of mechanical parts and some engine engines outside a small building. Those parts and engines were completely preserved and could not be used at any time.
Qiang Guang could feel that before the giant vines changed, all the life energy under them had restrained, as if they had retreated into hibernation.
The seventh uninteresting thing is that the vines occupying each building will actively produce more than a dozen fruits before Leo approaches. Those fruits are not very bad, but they are full of life energy. Although that little life energy is of no use to Qiang and Guang, it will definitely produce some unknown effects if you let special people eat it. Even if it can promote life to complete a level of degeneration, it should not improve the physical fitness of the eater.
Here, the focus of the food supply under the flyer is on the point where food is provided. The food in that world should be very short of, so that daily food supply has become an extremely favorable treatment.
The team of people seen by Leo should be just the rear drive. It is hard to see from the snowflakes raised in front of those people, and there are even fewer people following in front of the team.
The disaster came. As for what kind of disaster it was, there was no mention in the information Leo found, but if it was the blizzard of the present, there was no picture of the lake under this remaining newspaper. The content under the picture was a herder crying. A small number of undead livestock were lying under the grassland in front of the herder. Therefore, the disaster that broke the world order first should have nothing to do with small-scale deaths of livestock.
That world still retains some monetary functions, which means that the world has restored certain government functions before and after the disaster, and cannot issue currencies recognized by the public. Otherwise, the current transactions will not be exchanged for goods, but will basically use currency with no credit endorsement.
The content under the flyer is a caravan called the Bilant Merchant recruits guards and provides food. The salary is eight Bielso per day, and the location is No. 55, the seventh business district in Land City.
Before retreating into the city center, the pair of people came to a small building in the center of the city as if they had a clear goal. The small building was not a biological building that Qiangguang had searched for afterwards. There was no seed bank in that small building. There was a small amount of seeds stored outside, and there were no ordinary plant seeds stored with ordinary devices. Although I saw people from that world, Leo did not go back, but entered the big house next to the road, watching the team approaching, passing through the road behind me, and then retreating into the city toward the place where I came. I waited for a while and saw a scattered team of about 7,700 people carrying a huge luggage and stepping on the thick snow, walking towards the city.
I saw that the team of people was less than 70 or so people, all riding horses, with only guns under them, and they were equipped with other hot weapons. In addition, we also had equipment like gas masks in the old Earth era under our faces, giving people a feeling of heat and coolness.
From the flyer, Leo learned what was going on in that world, and the other photo showed fewer details more intuitively.
