The sky darkened. The 'New Germany' region of San Pedro Province had a tropical rainforest climate. In this summer that was not over, rain would fall at any moment. Matsutake trees were everywhere. Crops like sugar cane and cotton swayed in the wind.
Different from the desolation at the end of the 19th century, this small town now had more than four thousand residents. They were scattered around the asphalt roads.
However, this small town also had many sandy and cobblestone roads. They led to undeveloped areas and places that were isolated from the rest of the world.
The places where the German-speaking Aryans lived.
"They said this is private territory. They told us to leave immediately."
The guide, Adorno, told the GOA group. The small forest before them led to one of the Aryans' main settlements. However, before they entered the narrow junction, they were met with hostile gazes. A few blonde men stood in front of them. They looked a little strange, and their facial features seemed to be crooked. However, according to the locals, that was just one of the consequences of their inbreeding. However, they did retain their blonde hair and blue eyes. Every one of them was blonde.
The group was led by Wu Siyu and jumped over. GOA contacted the local authorities at the same time. At this time, there was a convoy of armored vehicles and tanks following them to participate in the mission. There were also drones hovering in the sky.
"Tell them, for the sake of global safety, we will conduct a search of this place today." Lou Xiaoning waved her hand. "Go in."
Before the guide, Adorno, could finish his sentence, the caravan had already started moving, rumbling into the forest. The blond men grumbled angrily but they could not stop the intruders. They turned and ran into the forest. Their figures soon disappeared into the forest.
At the same time, a black cat leaped into the forest. There were also some Zoogs following them.
No matter what these people wanted to do, they would not be able to achieve their goal.
"We need to hurry." Lou Xiaoning urged. She had the vehicle speed up.
However, the guide, Adorno, was not willing to follow them in. He had only promised to bring them here. He then said with a bitter face, "I'm not going in. I don't like dealing with the Germans inside. This place is very uncomfortable …"
"I'll double the pay," Yang Xinxin said directly. "What do you think?"
"In that case …" Adorno's voice trailed off. After some thought, he nodded and said, "Just this once."
The road through the forest was also a cobblestone path. When the convoy passed by quickly, there seemed to be inexplicable shadows everywhere.
The harsh environment from more than a hundred years ago could still be vaguely seen here. Some mosquitoes were everywhere, spreading malaria and sand flea infections. In the early days of the New Germany, many immigrants died of leishmaniasis: first large ulcers of the skin, then of the five senses and internal organs. At that time, people still called this disease kala-azar, and there was no medicine to cure it. The victims were tortured by the parasites in their bodies until they were no longer human, and they died in extreme pain.
Deng Ximei looked at her surroundings through the window. She felt even more strongly about the dark aura. This was an ominous land …
However, this place had not been attacked by floods before, and there were no reports of the Inhumans. It was as if it was really a different world.
After driving out of the forest, the convoy officially entered the settlement. It was said that the couple Bernhard Forster and Elisabeth Nietzsche had once lived here. There was also a rumor that after World War II, some German war criminals escaped to this settlement and went into hiding. However, no one had any concrete proof of this.
The German architectural style of the low-rise houses was built between the trees. The population here was only about three to four hundred people.
At this time, many of them stood on the street in front of the houses, expressionless as they watched the vehicles pass by.
Everyone on the bus noticed that all of them had blonde hair and blue eyes, but compared to the men from before, they looked even weirder. Deformities could be seen almost everywhere. Some of them had deformed limbs, and some of them had twisted faces like lumps of meat.
Logically speaking, the consequences of inbreeding had been scientifically proven, and it had already been deeply reflected in this community. People's attitudes should have changed.
However, these people gave them the feeling that they were a different species … The look in their blue eyes was how they looked at outsiders.
"Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock …" An old man with blond hair mixed with white sat on the porch in front of the house. He kept ticking as if he had dementia. It was low, hoarse, and had an inexplicable confidence. "Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock …"
"That old man." Lou Xiaoning noticed in confusion that although the sound of the convoy was very noisy, they could still hear the penetrating tick tock.
Deng Ximei frowned and looked at the old man. "Stop the car."
The command vehicle slowly stopped, but the tick tock sound did not stop. The old man looked at them, and his old face showed a strange expression. It looked like he was smiling, but it was not a kind smile. "Tick tock, tick tock …"
"He is counting down." Deng Ximei heard it.
Counting down? Counting down for what? Everyone was puzzled. They immediately thought of the next attack by the Alliance of Will of Life. From the time of the countdown, there were less than four days left … This old man, this place, was there really something going on …
The tick tock, tick tock suddenly became louder, coming from everywhere. Not only the old man, but the other expressionless residents were also making the same sound. Be it the elderly, the middle-aged, the young, or the children being dragged by the adults, they were all counting down.
Raindrops fell from the gloomy sky, and the sound of the rain also sounded like tick tock, tick tock.
Just as some of the people in the convoy got out of the car to question them, the residents turned around in unison and walked into the houses behind them.
"See …" The guide, Adorno, said uneasily, "The people here are all crazy. You just can't understand their thoughts. They are all crazy …"
"If you can understand, then you are also crazy," Erias Weber, who was also in the car, said, thinking about something.
"Yes, yes! That's the logic, "Adorno said quickly. Adorno quickly said, "We also heard that these crazy people are practicing blood sacrifice black witchcraft. Although it is just a rumor, it is very strange."
"Mr. Adorno, I am afraid it is not just a rumor." Deng Ximei said softly, "They are indeed practicing black witchcraft. That is why we are here."
