The road to the mysterious restricted area was farther than Lu Xin thought.
He carried his favorite coarse cloth bag. Although it didn't look so beautiful, it was thick and strong, and even a knife might not be able to cut it. It contained food, guns, bullets, drinking water, medicine, and a clamp for users with special abilities, and even some money and a piece of gold. They were all things that might be used, and when necessary, he could directly hit people with the bag.
However, the disadvantage was that it was a bit too heavy. He transferred it from his shoulder to his hand, and then from his left hand to his right hand, and his arm was sore.
But the path in front of him still had no end.
The weather was a bit gloomy. Although it was morning, it looked gray and a bit dark.
Turning around, he found that he was in a desolate place, and there seemed to be an abandoned village not far away.
The town was shrouded in mist, filled with all kinds of vines and lush trees. It looked like these extremely vigorous plants had eaten up the village, like a green monster squatting on the horizon.
The path under my feet was definitely the path leading to Happy Town.
There were fewer weeds on the path, and some faint, almost indistinguishable car tracks.
But no matter looking forward or backward, no one could be seen.
However, in the desolate fields on both sides of the path, there seemed to be many eyes secretly looking at me.
But when Lu Xin stopped and looked in the direction of those eyes, he could no longer feel them.
…
…
"This place is so abnormal..."
Lu Xin muttered to himself, looking at his sister sitting on his shoulders: "Don't you think so?"
"No."
His sister swayed on Lu Xin's shoulders, eating candy non-stop: "I like it here."
Lu Xin then realized that his sister's aesthetics were different from others.
He turned his head helplessly, trying to find his mother, and found that she was no longer by his side.
When he just entered here, she was still following him, but after walking for a while, she disappeared.
Maybe it was because she was wearing high heels, and walking on such a small road would hurt her feet...
But Lu Xin was used to it, and his mother was the most reassuring one.
Whether she was around or not, she would definitely come out to help him at a critical moment.
…
…
"The puppet-type ability user has been dealt with. There are still two ability users left on the other side, and there are four fully armed people. It should not be easy to deal with them. In addition, the Happy Town itself is a bit dangerous. We may encounter some other troubles..."
Lu Xin didn't like the quiet atmosphere here, so he spoke slowly, using the voice of chatting with his sister to break the quiet and somewhat weird atmosphere of this place: "Plus, before we came out this time, we promised our father to let him help."
"So we may really let him out at that time. Sister, are you afraid of him?"
"..."
This is a very natural action.
But in the eyes of others, Lu Xin was talking to his shoulder and asking for his opinion.
The younger sister lowered her head from Lu Xin's shoulder and looked at him backwards: "Of course I'm not afraid, why should I be afraid of him?"
She waved her little fist and said: "When I grow up, I must make him into a toy and beat him every day..."
"Huh?"
Lu Xin was a little surprised: "Aren't you always afraid of him?"
The younger sister stopped talking, and just stared at Lu Xin quietly. After a long while, she laughed.
"I'm not afraid of him..."
"..."
"Not afraid of him?"
Lu Xin was a little confused: "Then who are you afraid of?"
The younger sister did not answer him. When she looked up, she found that the younger sister had sat up straight and slowly pointed her hand to the distance.
"Brother, look..."
"..."
Facing the direction pointed by the younger sister, Lu Xin looked up and looked forward, and then felt a slight headache.
It was like a broken chapter, and it seemed that many people's shouts sounded in his head.
The scene in front of him was like an old TV, flashing various snowflakes and phantoms from time to time.
After a while, he stood firm again, and the scene in front of him began to become clear.
...
...
He saw a large farmland in the distance.
The land was divided into pieces, neatly like a Rubik's Cube.
And in the farmland, crops were planted one after another, growing very neatly.
The whole farmland was endless at a glance, but it was extremely clear and distinct piece by piece.
In the oncoming wind, you can smell the fragrance of the seedlings, mixed with a trace of strange sweet smell.
"Are we there?"
Lu Xin thought slowly in his heart and continued to move forward.
There is no doubt that there must be people living here. Such a large farmland, Lu Xin has not seen it from other places except the Qinggang farm. Moreover, the fact that the fields can be planted so neatly also shows that there must be many people living here.
He cheered up slightly and continued to walk along the path.
Unconsciously, the sky had darkened.
Lu Xin looked up and saw that a bright red moon had risen from the top of the mountain.
He remembered that it was still morning when he separated from the gecko, and it was already night in a short while.
"Have I been walking for a whole day?"
Lu Xin thought subconsciously and felt a little strange.
Why did he walk for a whole day and didn't even feel hungry?
"When I first came in, I felt a headache and dizziness, but the symptoms were very mild and passed after a while..."
"After walking for more than ten minutes, I encountered neat farmland. I don't know what fertilizer was used, but the seedlings grew very well..."
"The night comes faster here..."
"The moon seems to be brighter than other places..."
"..."
Stopping by the roadside, Lu Xin took out his small notebook and wrote down what he saw and heard bit by bit.
As mentioned above, this exploration is also considered a mission, so I have to write it down.
I just don't know how much the reward is.
At that time, Gecko forgot to ask, and Lu Xin didn't want to rush him, otherwise he would seem too eager.
…
…
After walking for more than ten minutes, Lu Xin saw that the farmland around him was no longer planted with crops, but a kind of medicinal herb with pink flowers. The strange fragrance he smelled before should be emitted by these medicinal herbs. The farmland where medicinal herbs are planted is also divided into neat, fine and dense pieces, which makes people with obsessive-compulsive disorder feel very comfortable.
When passing a flower field, Lu Xin saw a person.
He was a man who looked a little strong, wearing a light blue coarse cloth jumpsuit, and was conscientiously weeding in the field. When he was far away, his body was buried in the pink flowers. It was not until he walked closer that he was discovered.
Judging from his dress, he was very similar to the residents of Happy Town that Lu Xin had seen in the information before.
"Hello..."
Lu Xin stopped and greeted him.
The man in the field stopped moving, slowly stood up and looked at Lu Xin.
He had a kind smile on his face.
So Lu Xin also smiled kindly at him and said, "Is this Happy Town?"
The man in the field did not answer, but just smiled at Lu Xin.
Lu Xin waited for a while, but he still did not answer. His smile seemed a little stiff, as if it was fixed on his face.
"Thank you!"
Lu Xin thanked him and continued to move forward.
At this time, he had seen the end of the farmland, and there was a huge shadow under the mist.
In the shadow, some white walls could be seen, as if they had finally arrived at a small town.
Above his head, the red moon had also risen, and the faint red light fell on the flower field, with a mysterious beauty.
As Lu Xin walked towards the town, more and more people appeared in the surrounding farmland.
It was already night, and they were still working in the fields, and they were all silent, without hearing a word of conversation.
Because they were too quiet, they were often discovered only when they approached them.
Then, regardless of whether Lu Xin greeted them or not, they all stood up, turned around quietly, and smiled at Lu Xin. Their smiles seemed to be carved out of the same mold. If smiles could be calculated, then the arc of their smiles should be the same.
When he reached the edge of the town, Lu Xin stopped.
Turning his head, he saw people looking at him one after another in the farmland, quiet and neat, like scarecrows.
"Still working so late, what a group of hardworking people..."
Lu Xin also looked at them quietly for a while.
Behind him was the town, but when he came to it, he found that the whole town seemed to have no lights on. Although Qin Ran and the others might be here, in this case, Lu Xin didn't know where to find them.
So he thought for a while and walked towards the person closest to him.
That was a girl standing in the field, looking at Lu Xin quietly, who seemed to be in her twenties.
Her facial features were originally very beautiful, but it seemed that due to years of hard work, wind and sun, her skin looked a little rough, and there were two deep blushes on her cheeks. She was also wearing a light blue jumpsuit. When he got closer to her, Lu Xin could smell a pungent sour smell on her body. This girl must have sweated a lot while working, and she hadn't taken a shower for a long time.
Lu Xin looked at the girl, and the girl looked at him.
The girl had a smile on her face, and her teeth looked white and neat.
"I want to ask you about someone..."
Lu Xin looked at the girl and asked softly.
The girl looked at him with a happy smile on her face, motionless.
"This person looks like this..."
Lu Xin took out a photo, which was taken of Qin Ran who had died at the time. His face was ashen and stiff.
The girl looked at him with a happy smile on her face, motionless.
"Okay..."
Lu Xin remembered what the gecko told him before he set off. When dealing with people in the wilderness, two things are essential.
One is a weapon, the other is money.
So he took out a fifty-yuan bill and handed it to the girl: "Can you tell me?"
The girl looked at him with a happy smile on her face and took the bill.
