Chapter 233 233 The girl is online
"Now that you mention it, I remember a piece of gossip," said one person.
Everyone else looked over. What kind of gossip was that?
The man didn't keep the secret. "I heard there's a ghost town in City M. No one who goes there ever leaves alive; they're all sucked dry. And the ghost town is mysterious; you can't use supernatural powers, electronic devices, or mechanical equipment there. After hearing about it, many people went to explore the ghost town, but found nothing, and many even lost their lives. Since then, no one dares to go there anymore. Even if they pass by, they just take a quick look and never stay even a minute, let alone overnight."
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" someone blamed them, saying that this would harm them.
The man was also angry. "How should I know where the so-called ghost domain is? Is it real? This is just a casual talk, just listen to it as gossip, who would take it seriously? Besides, I asked you to come? Do you think you are three years old? You blame this and that when something goes wrong. Don't you know how to reflect on yourself and take responsibility for your actions?"
The person who blames others knows that his blame is unreasonable, but he is still in a bad mood. He snorts, turns his head away and says nothing.
Lan Shiruo asked, "Apart from these, is there anything else? Any other information about this ghostland? For example, where did this information come from, how long has it existed, or what other specific events have occurred, or whether any specific people are mentioned."
The man thought carefully and said, "It's not clear where the news came from, but it seems to have started a year ago. At that time, a team spent the night in the ghost domain and never returned. Later, someone found that all the people in the team turned into mummies overnight. After that, no one went to the ghost domain for a long time. Then, some people didn't believe it, and several teams went together. Who would have thought that half of the people would also turn into mummies that night. It caused a sensation in the whole M city for a while, and many people refused to go to the ghost domain. But there are always people who don't believe it. Later, many people went to explore, but none of them came back. Gradually, no one dared to go. Until later, it slowly became a ghost story. I heard about it by chance, so I'm not very clear about it. However, some people say that this is not It's not a ghost realm, but a fairyland. After this story, M City, once slated for annexation, has thrived under the leadership of its ruler, rising to the top of the safest base rankings. Despite being last on the list, no one dares attack them, as their ruler is the only one with three supernatural powers. If they truly aspire to dominate, they'd undoubtedly reach the top. This is the pride of the people of M City. They lack abundant resources or a privileged geographical location, yet they stand tall and resist invasion. The only regret is that their rulers maintain a low profile. Unless M City faces a threat of destruction, they typically remain invisible, leaving all matters under the management of their subordinates. Otherwise, they too could enjoy the feeling of being second only to one man and above everyone else.
Lan Shiruo didn't believe in coincidences. All coincidences were inevitable. She turned to look at Lu Chaoyang and said, "Tell me about the situation in M City."
Lu Chaoyang pondered for a moment before continuing, "M City is the smallest city in Pingzhou. Its transportation is backward, the soil is poor, and the environment is harsh, lacking the fundamental conditions for a major metropolis. Before the apocalypse, it was a small, third-tier city with a population of less than 500,000. After the apocalypse, M City's richest man quickly assembled a team, establishing a safe zone in M City, gathering supplies, establishing security measures, and recruiting talent, gradually expanding the city. M City's richest man is Leng Changdao, a man of great business acumen. He modeled M City after a company, saving M City from disaster numerous times and holding a high position in the hearts of the people. He later led M City to a ranking of safe bases, and possessing three supernatural powers, he has become a deity in the hearts of the people of M City. However, he is a truly low-key individual, not interested in wealth, power, profit, or sex. He is devoted to others, usually staying at home to improve himself, leaving all other matters to his subordinates. He exists like a mascot, a role model."
Lan Shiruo frowned. If he was truly a good person, there was no way she hadn't heard of him in her previous life. Did he die young? But if he was so capable, how could he die young? Even if he died young, there should be legends about him that were passed down through the ages. "What are his three special abilities?"
"It's not very clear. The only certain one is the speed. The other two are very vague. Few people know them, or maybe no one knows them."
Lan Shiruo raised an eyebrow and looked at the other teams, "Are you from City M? Do you know any other superpowers?"
There were two teams from City M, but none of them knew the abilities of the other two. "We all joined after hearing about the name of the one in power in City M. We haven't been there long, so we don't know much."
"Oh no, now is not the time to discuss what supernatural powers the ruler of M City has, right?" Same-sex repulsion. The women in one team had long disliked Lan Shiruo. The others were men who spoke, but she was the only one who kept talking, asking questions endlessly, as if she was very capable.
Lan Shiruo glanced over calmly and looked at her teammates. "Do you have any ideas?"
With the tacit understanding they have gained from spending time together day and night, it is impossible for the little friend to not have any thoughts. "The people in power in City M are very strange. They are too selfless. I don't believe such people exist." Miaomiao said.
"Tsk," a sneer that was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone present to hear, "You are selfish yourself, and you don't allow others to be selfless." The woman who was confronting Lan Shiruo couldn't help but confront Miaomiao again.
Miaomiao was silent for a moment, forget it, just treat it as shit.
No one else said much. The war between the little women was just a quick exchange of words between Cheng Cheng.
"Also, it's too coincidental," Lu Chaoyang said. "Why did the story happen in M City? And why did M City jump from a lowly city to a major city after it happened, with no one daring to touch it? Although coincidence can explain everything, and it's not impossible, the three superpowers of the people in power in M City are also very strange. Since they have already revealed that there are three superpowers, why are the other two vague? Is it because they are shameful?"
When men speak, women who used to argue with men stop arguing. Maybe they simply can't stand girls who speak.
Lan Shiruo said nothing and looked at the others.
The people in the other teams frowned, seeming to understand what they were saying, but also not understand. "What do you mean?"
Lan Shiruo curled her lips, "What we mean is that there are too many suspicious points in M City."
"Whether there are suspicious situations in M City is none of your business. Now we are talking about the matter of the black shadow, just to attract attention." The girl came online.

Yunshui Yao stood up, shaking her mountain peaks. "Hey, the one on the other side, I want to beat her up, do you have any objections?"
