"… Help …"
A voice rang out.
Lin and Bilu … were currently inside a building.
It was the same building that appeared to be a magnificent gemstone from the outside.
Although it looked magnificent, it was also made up of undead fungi. But most importantly … there was air inside the building.
Every entrance was covered with a layer of transparent … material that separated the inside from the outside. But because the temperature inside the building was very low, Lin and Bilu had to wear protective suits to enter.
The inside of the building was not as magnificent as the outside. It felt more like a storeroom with wooden boxes and other items placed all over the place.
They were probably brought here from a research station or base. Lin had opened some of the boxes to check, but they were all empty.
While Lin and Bilu were wandering around … they suddenly heard a voice calling for help.
"Veronica, there must be a ghost here!" Hearing the voice, Bilu quickly ran to Lin's side and said: "This place, this city, it looks like there are a lot of ghosts here …"
"…" Lin walked towards the direction of the voice. Soon, she found the source of the voice. It was an Ershi Min.
"Ah! This is great! " The Ershi Min was also wearing a protective suit. As soon as it saw Lin and Bilu, it became excited: "This is unbelievable, I'm saved!"
"What? You're not a ghost?" Bilu looked at the Ershi Min with disappointment: "Then who are you?"
"You are …" the Ershi Min looked at Lin and Bilu for a while, then suddenly showed a surprised expression: "Could you be …"
"Hey, you still haven't told us who you are!" Bilu said.
"Ah … I'm sorry" the Ershi Min said: "My name is Rien, a member of the A1 exploration team of the research group"
"Oh? I think I've heard of this team before … "Bilu asked:" Where are the other members? "
"We've already …"
Rien showed a sorrowful expression on the Ershi Min's face, explaining everything that had happened to it …
Their exploration team was the team that had contacted the exhibition hall. After contacting them, they immediately found a way to come here. But they didn't go to the exhibition hall, but this place …
That was where the City of the Corpse Clan was located.
Their initial landing point was near the Corpse Race's city. Moreover, as soon as they landed, they encountered a dangerous situation. They were attacked by a large number of Corpse Race and Corpse Craftsman Insects.
Furthermore, the aircraft that had landed had also lost its ability to fly. Whether it was the engine or the communication system, both had malfunctioned.
As a result, the members of this team scattered under the continuous attacks. They were all lost in the city of the Undead Clan.
"My team members might not have survived …" Rien said sorrowfully. "I haven't been able to contact them …"
"You guys are really useless." Bilu said, "They didn't even send a stronger force to rescue us. They were actually scattered by a pile of corpses. We crushed a large group of those corpses before!"
"Crush?" Rien asked, "Do you … have any means of transportation?"
"Hmph, that's Veronica's great …"
Before Bilu could finish her sentence, a voice suddenly interrupted her, "Gagaga! Not good! Not good! There are many … many monsters out there! "
Goose had been staying in the mech outside. Perhaps it had seen something.
"Let's go out first." After saying that, Lin walked outside. Rien saw this and quickly said, "Take me with you. I want to go with you!"
Bilu said, "You can't be a burden!"
"Of course not. I'll still … Did you guys come in this?"
When they were outside, Rien looked at the Scorpion Mech in surprise and said, "The exhibition hall shouldn't have this …"
"I already said it's Veronica's masterpiece!" Bilu followed Lin to the back of the mech and jumped into it.
Rien saw this and quickly climbed in as well. However …
"There's no space inside. Don't come in. You can stay up here!" Bilu said and closed the lid.
Indeed, the cockpit was very small. There were only two seats in the first place. One more Goose could squeeze in. However, one Ershi Min was too much.
"…" Rien didn't complain. Lin found that he stayed up here.
"Hey, didn't you just say there were many monsters?" Bilu asked Goose. "There's nothing around here!"
"But I saw them just now. I … They're coming!"
Goose suddenly screeched. At this moment, Lin also saw that the sky outside … had darkened.
The days and nights of the Cold Lands were very long for Ershi. This place was slowly entering the night phase.
This meant that …
"Whoa! There's a ghost! "
Bilu pointed at the display screen and shouted. Lin also saw a faint … shadow appear at the corner of the street outside.
Its shape was very similar to the Ershi Min, but it was floating in the air. It really did look like a ghost.
Lin had seen many similar creatures before, so she didn't find it strange. This was probably a Dreamscape creature, but Lin didn't feel any Dreamscape energy from it.
"There's more!" Following Bilu's scream, more and more shadows appeared on the street and beside the buildings.
These strange floating objects, together with the surrounding buildings made of dried corpses, gave the people of Ershi quite a sense of fear.
"Um … Can you let me in? It's really too …"
Riding on the Mech's back, Rien couldn't help but ask.
"Shut up, you stay outside as cannon fodder!" Bilu said. "That way, we'll know whether or not these ghosts have the ability to harm us!"
"I …"
Bilu seemed to be particularly rude to him, so Rien didn't ask for anything else.
Meanwhile, Lin controlled the Mech to move forward along the corpse-filled street.
Lin also wanted to know what these shadows were …
"Gagagaga! What are you doing! Don't approach them, avoid them! Gagaga! Gagagaga … "
Goose, who was screaming non-stop, had already fainted, but Lin didn't care about its fear. Instead, she approached one of the shadows floating in the air.
Then, she used the Mech's tail to poke it.
This mass of shadows … looked like a mass of fog. The moment it was poked, it scattered, but quickly gathered at a place further away.
It appeared to be a mass of tiny particles, but why was it in the shape of an Ershi Min?
"No — —!"
Rien's scream suddenly rang out from the communicators in Lin and Bilu's protective suits. Rien, who had been riding on the Scorpion's back all this time, let out … a scream that sounded like his vocal organ was about to be destroyed. Then, he jumped down from the Scorpion's back and scrambled away.
These shadows seemed to have caused a strong fear effect on Rien and Goose.
