Chapter 2379 Dark Jedi
Black rain is dripping from the sky, and the vegetation on the ground is still decaying. The boots are walking on the soft and deep ground, and it is deathly silent as far as the eye can see. The Bloody Mercenary Group walked in this desolate and inhabited land. Once upon a time, this was a lush and vibrant hinterland of the mainland.
The air was filled with a strange smell of decay. The person walking at the front of the team was holding a staff with a dim lamp hanging on it.
No one wanted to talk. The darkness and silence brought invisible pressure. They all bowed their heads in silence, facing the dark sky under the pot, their hearts heavy.
After a long time, Big Low pulled out his leg that was stuck in the mud, turned around and said: "Find a place to rest, everyone is tired."
Everyone feels tired in this kind of place. The harsh environment prevents them from bringing draft animals to this kind of place. They cannot afford the large amount of food they need, so they can only rely on manpower to carry everything.
Everyone continued to move forward. It was not suitable to rest now. They had to find at least a flat place to pitch their tents.
The light shines under everyone's feet. Although in the mountains and wilderness, due to the loss of sunlight to grow, the previous road was not covered by plants. There were only some fallen rotten trees lying on the road, which added a lot of difficulties to their progress. But this was also a place where there were many mountain villages and small towns.
Going straight from the path, an abandoned town appeared in the light. The magician in the team fired three fireballs to explore the streets of the town. Not only had the town been destroyed for a long time, but it had also been set on fire. It was probably because it was robbed by bandits at the beginning of the disaster.
We found some houses that were relatively intact and entered. Many of the rooms still had quite a bit of furniture and ornaments, but were just covered with thick, damp plaster. They used local materials to make soup and stew, and some people searched the room, looking for things that could be used.
Irina found some dry towels and casually wiped the thick mud on her leather boots, then came to the second floor of her small building. In the master's bedroom, there are still photos of the couple's happy wedding hanging on the wall, and the wardrobe is in a mess. It seems that they left in a hurry when they left. She opened several cabinets, and there were seven silver coins and two gold coins scattered in the bedside table. There was a medium-sized copper-nailed wooden box in the corner between the cabinet by the window and the curtains. There were a few items in it that were not brought. The small knife, short staff and several worthless copper and iron rings were taken away. Judging from the markings on them, they were probably graduation certificates from a certain college. Some good colleges will give out some practical small gifts to students after they graduate.
The people making broth downstairs complained that they should not take this road and this direction. If they went south with Lara Felu and the others, the situation would not be so bad.
Donsar, a member of the Tamar tribe who just celebrated his 16th birthday, said: “It doesn’t matter which way you go. When Bimoye and I came here, we took a detour to the south. Everything was dark and the sky was completely covered. Covered."
The red dwarf Ermuda said in a high voice: "We must find those things to save the world as soon as possible, before everything gets worse. On the dark land, hundreds, thousands or more people die every day, and the dust in the sky is still expanding. We must save ourselves and end it all."
On the streets, Luo and Miao. , Delma, Dean and Ada were patrolling along the streets. Although there was probably no danger in this deserted town, it was good to be on the safe side and find out what was going on here.
Ada and Dean originally escorted Lara Phil to the Desman border and were supposed to return to the Ten Star City. However, halfway through, they received a new order from a fast horse, requiring them to accompany Miss Cole. Therefore, Come here together.
Dean and Delma were more agile, and each occupied the rooftops on the left and right sides of the street to explore. They found nothing but two highly decomposed corpses lying on the street and under the eaves. Most of their bodies were covered by the black rain falling from the sky. They must have been dead for more than a month.
In another small building on the same street, Scar, Bimoye, Cole, Afro, the backbone of the team and other new powerful people were gathering together to discuss action plans. Because the environmental situation is not ideal, they discuss the next course of action every day. Since their departure, the Bloody Mercenary Group's primary goal has been the core of the entire salvation plan, to find the Abyss of Light. But no one knows where the Abyss of Light is, so they have a second-best goal, looking for elemental spirits, especially the elemental spirits of light. Therefore, when planning the route of action, follow the route where elemental spirits are known to be found.
At this time, the five Luo people ran back and said to them at the door: "There is someone in the town!"
Most of the members of the Bloody Mercenary Group arrived on the other side of the town without eating. They saw many refugees scattered under this house and on the streets. Most of them were old people and children. The children were crying from hunger, and the adults had no energy. , everyone is very weak, and when they see a stranger appear, they are frightened and excited at the same time.
"Do you have anything to eat? Please give me some charity." A man who was so hungry that his eyes were blinded bravely stepped forward to ask. When the man said this, everyone looked over eagerly.
The tall Moya turned up the light, held up the hanging lamp, and looked at the pairs of peeping eyes everywhere in the dimness. The dozens of pairs of empty and powerless eyes in front of him made people feel chilled, and in the darkness of the street In the depths and in the houses, I don’t know how many eyes like this are peeping here.
No one in the mercenary group spoke. Of course they had food, but the food was prepared for themselves. This dark and desolate area was vast and expanding. They didn’t know how long they would have to walk to get it. Next time resupply. There are so many refugees here. If we give food to them, we will not have enough.
Seeing that they were not moving, the refugees knew that they had lost hope of getting food. They sat listlessly one by one. Even the baby who was crying just now lost the last bit of strength to cry.
Woods, a new member of the team, elbowed his companion Jasmine and pointed to the half-hidden bones behind a wooden barrel in a narrow alley.
Jasmine is a woman. She noticed the white bones, thought of its meaning, and vomited it out on the spot.
The refugees noticed the gazes of these mercenaries, some looked ashamed, and some were crying in the corner.
Some people in the mercenary group couldn't bear it and muttered: "Let's share some food with them."
Some people were unmoved and hard-hearted: "Giving a bite to eat won't save them. They are old, weak and disabled, unable to leave this dark place on their own, and their final fate will still be death. Sharing food with them will not save their lives, but will also harm ourselves.”
