Zerg: Desolate Star and Moon - Chapter 47
After falling asleep again, Xi Lan woke up to the ringtone set in advance by TEDA.
Several females had quickly got up and turned on the lights and started packing. Xi Lan didn’t want to hold back, so she got up and followed them as fast as possible.
Yin Ze’s movements were the fastest. After he installed the things, he helped Xi Lan to fix it without saying a word. When he could clearly see Xi Lan’s slightly pale face through the light, he finally asked, “You didn’t rest last night. Ok? Why is your face so bad?”
Xi Lan spent a lot of mental power last night. His mental power was not fully recovered before. Now it is too reluctant to use it like this. He can’t explain and can only let Yin Ze misunderstand: “Are we going now? ?”
“Don’t be in a hurry, but do some preparations.” Reggie glanced ahead, TEDA and Qiyi and the others had already walked towards the place where the lights were on on the other side.
Xi Lan noticed that there were several explorers in a group sitting under the light, Yin Ze knew Xi Lan’s doubts, and explained to him without raising his head: “They plan to ask others about the situation around them first, after all They have been here much longer than us, but in fact, we can only understand the nearby road, and no one knows what it will be like.”
When Xi Lan and Yin Ze packed up and walked over, Jia Yan had already asked about the general situation ahead.
The explorer who spoke should have been here for a long time, his face was sullen after a long time, and there seemed to be hidden wounds on his body, and he spoke intermittently: “This street goes straight, there are two roads over there, I don’t know where it is. It was probably a river valley. There is a half-broken bridge on the left. There is about four or five hundred meters from the bridge head to the opposite bank. If your wings are strong enough, you may be able to fly directly over it, although We have been on the outskirts of the underground city, but from the direction above, the road should be the closest road to the city center.”
Hearing this, Jia Yan responded and turned around and asked the others behind him, “Do you have any problems flying over?”
Reggie and TEDA nodded almost at the same time, both saying there was no problem.
Yin Ze replied casually, and even if he answered, he then set his eyes on Xi Lan: “How are you?”
Xi Lan: “…”
He lowered his head and didn’t make a sound. He knew that the female worm’s fighting form could turn into wings, and the stronger the fighting power, the faster the female worm flies. This kind of flight is extremely exhausting. If it is not necessary, few people turn into wings. But in war it has a huge role.
The females can fly almost all of the short distances, but the males-males also have wings, but they are unable to fly.
Several people didn’t hear Xi Lan’s answer, and could not help but set their eyes on him, Yin Ze also frowned slightly and seemed to want to ask a question.
Facing everyone’s gaze, Xi Lan thought anxiously about how to answer this question. He forced himself to calm down, raised his head and was about to speak, but a low voice suddenly came from beside him: “That, that distance from me. Might not be able to fly.”
The group finally looked away from Xi Lan’s body and landed on the speaker.
The person who said this was Qiyi.
Qiyi was the archaeologist they found this time, and she was also a female. She usually neglected to exercise, and it was indeed not an easy task to fly at such a distance.
Several people fell silent for a while, Jiayan smiled helplessly, and turned to ask the explorer before: “Isn’t there another way? How about that way?”
The explorer glanced at Qiyi and Xi Lan, and seemed to be wondering why such a weak female appeared here, he hesitated for a while before continuing: “The road on the right will go a little farther, not so much. It’s complicated, but as long as anyone who comes to the underground city often knows that there are a group of creatures who don’t know their names living in the caves of that place, it’s a bit like the vampire bats described in ancient books, and many people are attacked there.”
“Vampire bats?” Jia Yan continued, “Is it difficult to deal with?”
The explorer said: “If the number is small, it is easy to deal with, but you can’t imagine the number of those bats. If you really want to pass, I think you should consider flying over from the bridge on the left.” Glancing cautiously in the distance, he seemed to be able to see something indescribable from the darkness, he hesitated and said, “But in fact, I advise you not to go to that city. I will come here to pick up things for a few months. From the beginning, there are treasures everywhere, and now I can’t find a valuable thing in ten days and a half. I have seen many people go to the city from those two roads, but I’ve never seen a few people come back.”
The archaeologist Qiyi’s face turned a little green, and he was terrified of the unknown on the opposite side, but others didn’t seem to see his reaction. After Jiayan finished asking, he nodded to the explorer and smiled. : “We got it, thanks for the reminder.”
The man didn’t say more, he seemed to have regarded Yin Ze and the others as the same people he met before who didn’t listen to the advice not to search for treasures inside.
After Jiayan finished speaking, he discussed with the other companions how to enter the city. It happened that the explorers were about to leave. The two sides said their goodbyes and went in opposite directions.
After saying goodbye, Xi Lan and his group walked towards the other side of the street in the direction pointed by the explorer just now. Although the ancient street buried under the ground has been excavated by countless barren star explorers, it still retains a little bit of its former appearance. , Under the reflection of the torch light, it can be vaguely recognized that there should be a lot of people living here in the past.
From what they know, this is obviously only the suburb of Silver Feather City, and there is still such a scene in the suburb, so what is the prosperity of the ancient city thousands of years ago?
It is not easy to walk in the dark. Even with lights, you must be careful. What’s more, because of the changes in the terrain, there will be some cracks under your feet from time to time. Although the cracks are not big, they are very deep at a glance, and no one dares to step on them. Half a step wrong.
After walking like this for about two hours, they finally reached the fork that the explorer said before. There were two roads left and right in front of them. Everyone stopped, and Jia Yan first glanced at TEDA who was walking at the forefront. , and then asked the crowd: “If we go from the left, can we consider Huayi flying over the bridge, and then the others will take Professor Qiyi to fly for a while?”
When Xi Lan heard this statement, she raised her head abruptly, and smiled bitterly before saying, “Actually…”
But before he finished speaking, Yin Ze had already said, “I don’t agree with walking on the left.”
Jia Yan was stunned, as if he didn’t quite understand his decision, but TEDA in front also spoke at this time: “I think Yin Ze is right, we should go to the right.”
Jiayan frowned and said, “But the person just said that there are a huge number of vampire bats on the right…”
“What did that person say, didn’t you listen carefully? Jia Yan?” Taida said casually, but he didn’t know why Jia Yan’s face changed slightly.
He hesitated and didn’t understand what TEDA was referring to. Yin Ze said lightly beside him: “That person said that few people will come back in the end.”
TEDA nodded: “Yes, he said that there is a broken bridge on the left, that is only the danger he can see, but he also said that few people can come back from there, I think maybe the road on the left may not be as simple as he said. , if we fly over with Huayi, no one will be able to judge when we encounter it, but the road on the right, we know what it is, as long as we find a way to deal with the bat.”
These words successfully persuaded Jiayan, instead of flying over with Huayi, Qiyi’s face softened a lot, while Reggie was very casual, and he obeyed everyone’s arrangement as everyone decided.
The last group decided to go to the right, Xi Lan always listened to their arrangement, and finally expressed no opinion, so everyone set off to the right road.
The team was very silent. First, Yin Ze, who never liked to speak, and then Taida, who looked fierce no matter how he looked at him because he was too tall. Qi Yi was timid and kept looking down at his feet. After walking with his head down for a moment, he heard someone say, “You are Yin Ze’s friend, right?”
When Xi Lan raised her head, she realized that Jia Yan had come to her side at some point.
This female is wearing glasses and wearing black clothes. It is different from other females who are tall and burly. She usually looks gentle. Others in the team tend to be silent. Only this female is always gentle and seems to be gentle. I can chat with anyone, and I am very skillful in speaking, which always makes the process of communication more enjoyable.
Xi Lan had a slight fondness for the female worm, and the other party said this in a low voice, so he also replied in a low voice, “Yes.”
Jia Yan laughed: “I’ve heard of Yin Ze, he was very famous in Huangxing in his early years, but I didn’t know he had a female friend. You must have known each other later, right?”
Xi Lan can guess the reason for Yin Ze’s fame in his early years. His fights at that time were probably less deadly than they are now. He nodded and said, “We met a few months ago.”
Jiayan seemed to be hesitating, and asked a few irrelevant questions around, and finally couldn’t help but said, “I wanted to ask before, what kind of relationship do you have?”
Xi Lan didn’t understand Jia Yan’s words, and whispered, “What kind of relationship?”
Jia Yan blinked, taking his hesitation as shyness, he coughed lightly, and said a little embarrassedly: “Actually, I want to know, Yin Ze looks like a straight female, but only looks like a male. Insect, I also know a friend who is very similar to him in many ways, I just want to know, how did you make Yin Ze fall in love with female insects?”
Xi Lan paused and finally understood what Jia Yan meant.
Jiayan thought that Yin Ze was a female, and that he and Yin Ze were lovers, but they were obviously not, and he was not a female either.
Looking at Jia Yan’s expression, he shook his head helplessly and said, “Sorry, I can’t help you with this…”
Jiayan thought he was just refusing, and was about to speak, but heard Reggie’s surprised voice in front of her. Jia Yan and Xi Lan looked up, only to find that they happened to reach a place like a river valley. There were no houses around, and all kinds of strange-shaped stones were replaced.
Xi Lan stepped up to Yin Ze’s side and looked at Reggie in front of him, only to realize that he was holding a flashlight with a strange look, observing a dead bat on the ground.
“What’s the matter?” Jia Yan also strode over and asked.
Reggie didn’t make a sound immediately, and leaned down to observe carefully for a moment before saying: “It was not long after he died. It seems that he died when he collided with the rock in front of him when he flew away in a hurry.”
Jiayan murmured, “I hit a rock?”
Reggie nodded, and then set his eyes on Teda in front of him.
TEDA squinted and looked ahead, the flashlight in his hand shot into the air, and a few bats fled in a panic, and soon disappeared. This appearance is completely different from what the explorer said before. This group of bats not only Instead of attacking them, it was as if they had encountered something that terrified them, and their numbers were not as terrible as they had been said before, and they were simply not enough to pose a threat to them.
This situation made other people feel puzzled, only Xi Lan looked at the bat on the ground, lowered his eyes and did not make a sound, and did not participate in the discussion at all.
Yin Ze didn’t notice Xi Lan’s expression, he took a few steps forward alone, because there were so many rocks, he squeezed into the corner to check on the stone wall, and soon said calmly, “That person didn’t lie to us. , Judging from the traces on the stone, there should have been a lot of bats in this area, but they all moved away before we came, and there are only a few left.”
“They don’t look right.” TEDA retracted his gaze and said to the crowd, “It looks like they have been attacked by mental power.”
Reggie’s expression was inconceivable: “Mental power? You mean someone used a mental power attack to drive away the huge number of vampire bats here? How is this possible?”
The others didn’t answer right away either, as it seemed equally bizarre to them.
Only a certain level of mental power can achieve such a level. Only a few males in this world have such mental power, and as Reggie said, a male with powerful mental power is in this underground. In the urban area, and I don’t know whether it was unintentional or intentional to help them, how is this possible?
