"What's that? A young man driving into town?"
In a tall building not far from the city gate, a rough hand tightly grasped a telescope. Through the glass window, an old man looked through the telescope at the pickup truck slowly driving into the city, his expression becoming increasingly heavy.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?"
A girl of about sixteen or seventeen, wearing jeans and a clean white shirt, with her hands behind her back, asked the old man curiously.
"I'm not sure whether it's a good thing or a bad thing..." The old man shook his head slightly.
He sighed and said, "Now that Black City is in this state, will there really be a rescue team coming?"
"But, even if you come, what can you change?"
"The Black City has fallen, and I guess the rest of the cities have also become this horrible state."
Now the whole city of Black City is without power, and all communication facilities are out of power.
Even though there is electricity, I don't know why I can't connect to the Internet.
Therefore, people in the Black City cannot know anything about the outside world.
The unknown is often the most feared.
This is true for both Louis and the old men.
"Whether it's a blessing or a curse, you can't avoid it... He is coming towards our building." said the old man.
"Do you want to gather everyone in the building to talk?" the girl asked.
"Wait, there is a monster running towards us not far away. No, its target is not us, but that young man!" the old man exclaimed.
"Grandpa...should we go save him..."
"I'm afraid I can't help..."
"But everything must be tried. Take the pistols and let's go downstairs."
…
At this time, Louis, who had entered the Black City, was driving a pickup truck into it. Relying on the magnetic field sensing of his six wings, he quickly sensed the human magnetic field in the building not far away, so he drove towards the building.
When they were only a hundred meters away from reaching the gate, Louis raised his mouth slightly, "Monster?"
He sensed a monster's aura coming from not far away, rushing towards him.
Louis clenched his fist and moved his wrist slightly.
Just when he was about to wait and hunt the monster.
Suddenly, the door of the building a hundred meters ahead opened, the protective door inside was closed, and an old voice came from inside: "Young man! Come here quickly!!"
Louis was startled, then he stepped on the accelerator to speed up, and arrived at the door in just a few seconds.
Louis then got out of the car, ready to ask the old man about the news of the Black City.
However, the old man's tone was extremely urgent. He walked out of the door directly, holding the gun in one hand and looking around vigilantly. He took Louis' hand and went into the building.
"Don't talk yet, the monster is coming!"
Monster? How did he know a monster was coming?
Is he also a supernatural being?
Louis was slightly stunned. He still knew too little information about the Black City.
Louis was quickly pulled into the building by the old man.
Immediately afterwards, the guardrail gate behind him fell down suddenly, and the iron gate outside closed as well.
"Grandpa, are you okay?!" The girl hurriedly walked out of the control room nearby.
The light in the building was dim and very dim, so you could only make out people's faces.
After seeing Louis' appearance clearly, the girl showed a hint of curiosity: "How do you maintain such good condition?"
Louis: ...
"Yes, young man, your skin is more delicate than women's." The old man showed a hint of surprise on his face and began to look at Louis.
Louis's face suddenly froze. It wasn't that his skin was good, but that this place was out of touch with the outside world.
And you are touching me. It’s okay that you are disrespectful to the elderly, but are you gay?
Perhaps he saw this meaning from Louis's face, the old man coughed lightly and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just surprised that your skin is really well maintained."
"Well, let me introduce myself. My name is Xu Da and this is my granddaughter, Xu Tong."
"Young man, judging from your accent, you are not from Black City, are you?"
Louis nodded when he heard this: "No, I am..."
Louis hadn't said this yet.
Suddenly there was a loud noise behind Louis.
Louis turned his head instantly, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
The iron gate roared as it slammed again and again.
"Let's go, we can't stay here. The monsters will smell us."
The old man seemed to be very experienced. He saw through the trick at a glance and immediately guided Louis to follow them to the second floor.
He also didn't seem to be afraid that Louis was a bad guy.
But this is natural.
After all, in the old man's eyes, what if Louis is a bad guy?
In the face of truth (the pistol), they are all vulnerable.
“Boom boom boom—”
The impact was extremely harsh, and the sound of the iron door colliding resounded throughout the entire building.
The old man took Louis to the second floor quickly.
There is a very large room on the second floor, a bit like a conference room.
On the blackboard nearby were pinned some allocation plans for the remaining resources.
"This is where the survivors in our building meet. If there is a big issue, we will gather here and hold a meeting to vote and decide."
"I have saved one or two people like you who came in recklessly, but they were much more unlucky than you. They were covered in blood. If there was no doctor in the building, they would have been doomed."
"By the way, young man, since you come from outside, do you know any information about the outside world?" Xu Da no longer asked about Louis's origins, but instead paid attention to the information about the outside world.
After all, for them, the only hope of survival is the arrival of the rescue team...
There was a glimmer of evasion in Louis' eyes.
How should he tell Xu Da the truth?
The Black City was abandoned...
No, maybe Qianye gave up Black City.
But he could get them out.
Louis' thoughts became active.
"Save them??"
The voice in my heart mixed with a hint of hidden teasing, "How about we make a bet?"
"This time, you can't save anyone."
Louis chuckled in his heart, "At least I will save as many people as possible, so that I can have a clear conscience."
The mission this time is mainly to find the place of inheritance left by Luohou, and then obtain the fragments of the God-killing Spear and the Black Lotus.
"Then I have to wish you good luck." The voice in my heart was still teasing, as if it had seen something funny in the future.
He sat quietly in the dark space, his blood-red eyes becoming more and more expectant.
"I'm really looking forward to it, Louis."
…
"What? That old man rescued another unidentified person? Is he an idiot? The resources in the building are running low!!!"
"No, I have to go down and drive that person out. One more person means one more supply will be consumed. This damn old man is dying soon, and it's fine if he just occupies the resources, but he saves people when he's still safe. Is he mentally retarded?"
A man with a yellow wolf's tail, a black earring on his ear, and a yellow coat ran downstairs angrily.
