"Is there a problem with your method?"
"Impossible! This method has been used in many special situations, it can avoid a large amount of interference. There can't be a problem! "Windling immediately retorted.
Garon was also silent. He frowned and looked around. This building was the tallest building in the area, everything around it could be seen clearly.
There was not a single soul in sight in the entire city. It was dead silent.
"There are clearly so many mutated people outside the city, why can't we see anything inside the city?" Garon whispered.
"Let's go down and take a look?" Windling glanced at Garon. "I suspect that this isn't where we're going at all, Vivar."
"Under such circumstances, the best way is to find a shop's nameplate or a place like a bulletin board." Garon nodded.
He looked around and quickly locked onto a target. He released two balls of black fog and flew down again with the two of them.
Flying in the air, the buildings around them were more than ten stories high. The windows on them were all black, like dead empty holes, emitting a cold chill.
The two of them landed steadily at the corner of the street in front of a bulletin board.
On the muddy yellow wall, there were some tattered newspapers and notices. Most of them had fallen off, some were still intact, and some were covered in red graffiti.
The two of them scanned these notices separately.
"Found it!" Windling tore a small piece of newspaper from the wall. He began to read according to the words on it.
"Gudam City's twenty-third rectification document. All infected people, please go to the nearest hospital for statistics as soon as possible. Free vaccines are available for injection. Special infected people … most of the latter part is missing. "Windling looked up." Gudam City? I've heard of this city, it's the largest and most prosperous city in this country, it's even bigger than the capital. "
"Where exactly is it?" Garon asked in a low voice.
"It's in the middle of our journey. That's not right, I've calculated according to our speed, it's impossible for us to fly such a short distance in such a long time! "Windling was confused.
"Whether it's Vivar or this Gudam City, they're both large cities belonging to the Nevis Empire. Since the chaos, what's the situation in this country?"
Windling shook his head.
"I haven't heard of anyone from this country appearing. After the turmoil, everyone went to pay attention to the bigger countries. Who would care about a small country like Nevis, especially a country like China that only has a small territory? What do we do now? "
"Let's walk around and see what's going on here," Garon replied calmly.
The sky had completely darkened.
Everything around him was a little dim, and he couldn't see clearly.
Wind Chimes took out two flints and a small, assembled torch from her waist pouch.
Once the head of the torch was mounted on a wooden stick, it would become a simple small torch.
"This kind of torch is something unique to me. It can burn for five hours at a time, and that's the minimum! Moreover, the materials are easier to find. It's very convenient. "Windling said with a hint of pride.
He used all his strength to strike the two flints.
Sizzle … sizzle …
"Eh? Why can't I ignite it? "He checked the flint in confusion.
"I'll do it." Garon took out a match from his pocket.
Chi!
The match scratched the skin, but there was no spark.
"Huh?" Garon was a little surprised. "Is it damp?"
"I know a kind of illumination tactic. It can illuminate for a short period of time for ten minutes." Wind Chimes also felt that something was wrong.
The surroundings were getting darker, and there were no gaps in the clouds in the sky. The dark clouds were getting denser. There was no moon, no stars. It was as if the whole city was being swallowed by darkness.
Wind Chimes' movements were very fast. A faint white light appeared on her fingertip, and she quickly drew a simple tactic symbol in the air.
Chi!
After a soft sound, the symbol collapsed in the air.
"Something's wrong! The illumination tactic can't be used! "Wind Chimes' voice rose an octave, and began to try again.
Garon also felt that something was wrong. The surroundings were getting darker, and there was no light at all. Now, there was no way to light up a flame. This didn't seem like a coincidence.
Wind Chimes still couldn't light up. Whether it was the totem or the flame, they couldn't light up.
"This place doesn't seem to allow light to appear." Garon said in a low voice. "Let's get out of here first!"
"Alright!" Wind Chimes also felt that something was wrong.
The two of them were covered in black fog, and quickly flew out of the city.
Before the city was completely dark, the two of them quickly flew out of the city walls.
Chi!!
Wind Chimes had been repeating the action of drawing the illumination tactic. As soon as they flew out of the city, the illumination symbol he drew instantly lit up with white light.
"It's done!!"
A small ball of light floated quietly in the air between the two of them.
"One of my totems is a fire elemental, so it can be used for illumination. But I don't know why, but there's no way to illuminate it in the city. "
Garon didn't reply. Instead, he stared blankly in the direction of Gudan City, which they had just flown out of.
Wind Chimes looked back in shock.
He saw that the whole city area was empty. It was basically a barren flat land. There were no buildings or walls on it!
There were only a few small trees planted on the ground, as if they could die from lack of water at any time.
"Where's Gudan City?" Wind Chimes was stunned.
"I don't know …" Garon shook his head slowly. He took a deep breath. "Could it be that what we saw just now was an illusion?"
"Impossible!" Wind Chimes shook his head decisively. "Let's take a look around." He suggested directly.
Garon nodded.
The two of them wrapped themselves in the black fog and began to patrol around the area.
They could see the moon and stars in the sky again. A faint light shone down and scattered over the entire land. There was no city, no buildings, and even the mutated people they saw before were gone.
It was as if everything they saw during the day was an illusion.
The two of them were unwilling to give up, so they went back to search again. When they passed by during the day, they saw that not a single mutated person was left. They had all disappeared.
Garon actually already had a vague guess in his heart.
Unlike Wind Chimes, he had experienced the strange phenomenon of Ancient Endor twice. Now that he encountered such a strange phenomenon again, he quickly found the corresponding possibility from the legends of Ancient Endor.
You City, a strange city in the legends of Ancient Endor.
One could enter and leave at will during the day. When night came, the city would completely disappear and enter an unknown darkness. If someone didn't come out before the darkness came, then they would be left in the city forever. No one knew where they went, and no one knew how You City came to be. The next day, You City was still empty and silent.
According to the legends, after discovering the dangers of You City, the hero Cygust, who was already in his twilight years, brought the Chain of Stray that his wife, the Starry Night Queen, gave him. After entering You City, he never came out again. This was also the end of his legendary life. This great hero, who could even fight against the five sons of Mother Earth, finally fell in front of this unknown You City. And You City also quickly disappeared, leaving behind only a mysterious legend.
Garon recalled this legend, and felt a faint sense of relief. Luckily, the two of them made a prompt decision and quickly left Gudan City before the light completely disappeared. If the legend was true, then this You City, where even the deified hero couldn't leave, was simply the most dangerous and unpredictable place. If they really fell into it, who knew what would happen.
"It's the Black Copper Phenomenon again …" Wind Chimes said in a low voice as he looked down at the empty land below with a complicated expression. "This kind of strange phenomenon caused by the Black Copper, we call it the Black Copper Phenomenon. No one knows what direction this world will go in the end. From the moment the Black Copper was discovered, it was destined that the entire world would change. "
"Black Copper …" Garon seemed to be deep in thought.
"What do we do now?" Wind Chimes spread out his hands, indicating that he was completely out of ideas.
After thinking for a while.
"Let's continue to the original mission point. Although I don't know why we've only advanced this far, we still have to do things, "Garon replied.
After a pause, he took one last look at the vast empty land where Gudan City used to be.
"Maybe after everything is over, we'll come back here again."
"I don't want to come back," Wind Chimes immediately said. "If you want to come back, do it yourself. One look and you can tell that this place is extraordinarily dangerous. "
Garon couldn't be bothered with him.
Two balls of black fog enveloped the two of them, and quickly flew in the original direction.
*****
In a white mountain range far away from Garon and Wind Chimes.
Somewhere on the peak of the snow-covered mountain range.
On the white slope of the mountain peak, black trees were scattered in the white snow. Some of them formed a line, while others stood alone. Large pieces of sharp mountain rocks arched out of the snow, forming a black section.
The black trees and the white snow mixed together. The entire peak seemed to only have two colors, black and white.
Black rocks and soil, black cedar weeds, were all embedded in the white snow. It was as if a pure white blanket was sprinkled with black mud.
Under the large expanse of snow, in an oval-shaped cavity between the layers of snow, a young woman dressed in white had her eyes slightly closed, as if she was in a state of hibernation.
In the woman's arms, she was hugging a round dark gold bracelet. The bracelet was engraved with dense black tactic symbols. These symbols seemed to be independent, but strangely connected together, like a pitch-black ring-shaped snake. The snake's eyes were two embedded green diamonds, emitting a faint green light.
Avici had not eaten for four days, and was only relying on the little bit of pure water she carried with her until now.
She hid under the snow, and restrained all of her aura. Even her heartbeat slowed to a minimum. This was to reduce her body odor and metabolism, and to reduce all physiological activities to a minimum.
As an elite student of the Geometry Service, her outdoor survival training results were the best. As long as she successfully delivered the heirloom to the Geometry Service's mentor, her mission would be completed.
But as for when the mentor would arrive, she didn't know.
What she could be sure of now was that the Obscuro's people were still searching for her on the surface. Perhaps there were many other fugitives who wanted to try their luck, and were also searching for her. Even the secret organization of the Three Departments was also a member of the search team.
If it wasn't for the National Service's lack of manpower, Avici's search team would have increased.
