Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before Dragon Slaying

Chapter 984: The City in the Nibelungen (Two in One, please subscribe!!!)

"How come the configuration is incomplete? Lu Mingfei is responsible for overall planning, I am responsible for deducing the truth, Eri is responsible for output, and you are responsible for complaining. Our lineup is very reasonable." Nuo Nuo retorted, "Do you feel lonely because no one talks to you? Are you going to tell a crosstalk in the car?"

Finkel shrugged his shoulders and didn't argue with Nono.

Lu Mingfei remained silent and did not participate in the conversation, but rarely did he feel that what Finkel said made more sense.

He asked Nono to come because of his profiling ability. There is no doubt that Nono's profiling is amazing, but the role of profiling in a place like Nibelungen is too limited. Nono's role is irreplaceable, but it cannot fill another gap in the team... Their team lacks an investigator, someone who truly possesses environmental investigation capabilities and can help them figure out the situation in Nibelungen, just like Caesar's "sickle-weasel" or Ye Sheng's "snake".

"Stop bickering. We have already entered Nibelungen. If we don't find a way to find Odin, we may be trapped here forever." Lu Mingfei said, "The Deadpool behind us has been chasing us. We don't know when a new Deadpool will appear. We must be extremely vigilant."

In fact, this is not what Lu Mingfei is really worried about. Entering Nibelungen this time was too abrupt. Meeting Deadpool was nothing. The worst situation would be if they suddenly encountered Odin. I don’t know if Eri has the strength to confront Odin head-on after being baptized by dragon blood, but Lu Mingfei doesn’t want Eri to face Odin from the bottom of his heart. It would be great if he could find Chu Zihang and Ye Sheng first... In fact, Lu Mingfei still holds a little hope, that is, Chu Tianjiao is not dead. It would be even better if he can find Chu Tianjiao as well, because he is the one who knows Odin best. After being trapped in Nibelungen for seven years, he must have a lot of information about this country of death.

But that was the most ideal situation, so ideal that it was not realistic at all, so his original plan was not like this. Chu Zihang’s disappearance was really completely beyond his expectations, so plans can never keep up with changes. When you think everything will go smoothly, reality will always suddenly go wrong and give you a blow.

"We can't just keep driving with our heads down. The car's engine has been modified, and it can't bear such high loads all the time." Lu Mingfei whispered, "The oil and water temperatures are overheated. We don't know where it was damaged in the collision just now. We may break down at any time, and we don't have enough oil."

"Let's drive forward. We only have one road." Nuonuo's eyes were fixed on the front of the viaduct. The straight road was hidden in a thick fog, and it seemed that there was no end in sight.

With a "dong" sound, a vague voice came from afar.

"Did you hear that?" Finkel sat up.

"We're not deaf." Nuonuo frowned slightly, "It seems to be coming from the fog ahead."

Lu Mingfei glanced at Eiry through the rearview mirror. Eiry nodded to him. She also heard the sound.

Eri's hearing is very sharp. Plus, her bloodline is very strong. She is a descendant of the White King, so she shouldn't be too affected by other people's abilities... Even Eri heard it, which means it's likely that they weren't hallucinating.

After stepping on the accelerator for a while, Lu Mingfei actually saw some buildings in the thick fog ahead. Skyscrapers popped up from above the fog, like a mirage hanging in the sky, looking ethereal and unreal.

"I can't be seeing things, right?" Finkel rubbed his eyes.

Lu Mingfei let out a breath. Finkel also saw it, so it seemed that he was not mistaken... But the appearance of a mirage in the Nibelung was too weird.

Besides, it is raining heavily now, and a rainy day does not meet the conditions for the appearance of a mirage... However, a place like Nibelung cannot be viewed with common sense. Let alone a mirage, even if Lu Mingfei meets a Tainai he has never seen before, he will not be too surprised.

But something unexpected happened. The car continued to move forward, and Lu Mingfei and his group really arrived at the end of the viaduct... Originally, they thought that this viaduct was a road without a destination. There was a gate at the end of the viaduct. There was no one in the toll booth, but the lights indicating the ETC lanes were still on, emitting a green light. In front of them was a large building complex. It was raining heavily, dark clouds were hanging low, and the spire of the tallest skyscraper was hidden in the clouds.

"Is this a... city?" Nuonuo looked at the complex of buildings with a strange expression.

  A city appeared in Nibelung...?

“Looks a little familiar…” Lu Mingfei also looked at the buildings towering in the clouds.

The car passed through the ETC automatic toll gate, and the road blocking poles rose up. Without deducting any fees, Lu Mingfei and his friends were allowed into the city.

The road was wide, but there were no lights. Lu Mingfei slowed down and drove towards the skyscrapers with some caution.

There were cornflowers planted on the roadside, which should have been wilted by the heavy rain, but they bloomed unusually luxuriantly. The exquisite stone piers were made of white marble and were carved with fine patterns. The more Lu Mingfei looked at them, the more familiar they looked to him. Until he raised his head and saw a road sign above his head, Lu Mingfei's eyes suddenly widened.

"Lu Mingfei, this is very strange." Nuo Nuo in the back seat suddenly spoke up. She reminded in a low voice, "Those deadpools don't seem to be chasing us."

Finkel also looked back, and sure enough, the large group of black shadows chasing them had disappeared at some point, and no one of them noticed.

Nono was thinking about why those things suddenly disappeared. It seemed that they didn't want to get close to the city. What was in this city that made even Deadpool stay away from it... And didn't those things lose their self-awareness? Why did they give up chasing them and take the initiative to stay away from the city?

"This is... the CBD area..." Lu Mingfei suddenly whispered, his voice sounding a little scary.

"What?" Nuo Nuo was also stunned. "CBD area? The CBD area of ​​your city? That's not right? How could you not recognize the CBD area?" "The urban village reconstruction site ahead..." Lu Mingfei looked at the road sign and read out the words one by one.

"I know where this is. This is the abandoned toll gate in the north of the city." Lu Mingfei parked the car on the side of the road and turned to look at the unmanned toll station they had just passed. "This toll station has been abandoned for a long time because this place has not been developed at all. Like the heavy industrial zone of Media Asia Group, it is known as the two largest unfinished sites in the city. Many office buildings and high-end residences have been built here. It is said that it will be built into a large-scale business district comparable to Shanghai, so that everyone who comes to the city for the first time can see the most prosperous side of it. However, no one has bought this place. Neither residents nor businesses have been able to develop. The original developer went bankrupt due to a lack of funds. Gradually, no developer is willing to take over this place, and the government can't save it either."

"Is there such a place in your city?" Nuonuo was a little surprised.

"It's actually adjacent to the CBD area, and is planned to be developed as the second phase, but it's a bit far from the city center. After it was abandoned, no one came here, and the road leading here has been closed. When I was in junior high school, it was said that there were children coming here to play, and they encountered supernatural events, and several of them disappeared." Lu Mingfei shook his head and said, "The area in front of these unfinished high-rise buildings is Times Square. That area is considered to be built, and it is adjacent to the CBD. However, the business has not been very prosperous in recent years. The place where the Black Prince Group is located is the focus of development. It is more recognized by the citizens, and this place is outside the third ring road."

"So we just drove on the elevated road from the edge of the city, went around and came back?" Nono asked.

"No... We should have been trapped in Nibelungen. We walked in a straight line. This is the other end of the city. If we want to walk in a straight line from the south to the north, we have to go around the world." Lu Mingfei said, "Besides, this place is abandoned. How could the lights at the toll gate still be on? In my memory, the construction of these buildings was stopped halfway through. They are not as complete as they are now."

Nuonuo looked up at the tall buildings. Indeed, all of these buildings had been built. If the lights were on, they should look similar to the prosperous area where Mr. Shao and the others were. Even if no developer was willing to take them over, the government would not lose money by buying them back at a low price and using them as low-rent housing and offices. However, these skyscrapers were just quietly vacant, ruthlessly separated from the theme of the city, like a lifeless ghost town.

"So we are still in Nibelung?" asked Nono.

"It should be. If those deadpools can't get in here, it's a good thing. We need to find a place for the car to rest and for us to rest too." Lu Mingfei restarted the car. "I just don't know if the gasoline in the Nibelungen can be used."

The silver Porsche shuttled through the city roads. The more things you see in this area, the more weird it feels. There is no one or car on the road, but both the traffic lights and the sensor lights of the buildings are always working. The road condition is very good, the road is wide and straight, with zebra crossings, pedestrian bridges and turning lanes. The flower beds in the middle of the road are planted with colorful flowers, which bloom very gorgeously in the rainstorm, revealing a kind of enchanting beauty.

"You said that the Deadpools didn't follow us here, could it be because this is a forbidden area for them?" Lu Mingfei suddenly asked.

"Forbidden area?" Nuonuo raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

"I've been to the Bronze City in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and the subway in the capital. Whether it's the dragon servants living in the Bronze City or the sickle weasels in the subway, these subspecies of dragons have forbidden areas that they will never enter. That's the territory where the Dragon King lives." Lu Mingfei thought for a moment and said, "Do you think Odin is hiding in this city in front of us?"

"Damn, don't scare me!" Finkel suddenly screamed strangely. He looked up and down at the buildings in front of him, feeling suspicious, as if he was afraid that there was a ghost hiding in some corner.

"Which direction are we going now?" asked Nuonuo.

"Let's go to Times Square. I'm a little more familiar with the roads there. I remember there's a big gas station and a shopping mall at the intersection of Times Square." Lu Mingfei said, "If conditions permit, let's fill up the car with gas and change clothes. It's not comfortable to be soaked by the rain."

Nono and Finkel didn't object. Firstly, Lu Mingfei was the one who knew the city best, so it was most reasonable for him to lead the way. Secondly, their clothes were indeed wet by the rain, especially Nono. She had worn wet clothes for several hours and they were sticking to her body and it was very uncomfortable. If conditions permitted, she would rather take a hot bath. After all, she had been snorkeling in the Mediterranean Sea twenty-four hours ago. Although her clothes would not be moldy or smelly, girls psychologically don't like to be dirty.

The signal of the car navigation system still hadn't been restored, and neither had that of the cell phone. Lu Mingfei could only rely on the approximate location in his memory and walk in the direction he thought was right. Fortunately, he didn't encounter any forks or dead ends along the way. The road planning in this area was really good, and the route was clear and much easier to follow than the winding paths in the old city.

Nuonuo glanced at the tall buildings on both sides of the road, as if looking for any signs of human activity. When passing a wall, Nuonuo's eyes suddenly jumped, but before she could take a closer look, Lu Mingfei had already driven away.

"World Trade Financial Center, Universal Studios Building, Shanhe Group Building..." Lu Mingfei looked at the familiar buildings in the distance, read out their names one by one, and finally returned to the place he was familiar with.

"The Times Square is in front of us. The iconic building there is a big golden clock, the Clock Building, also known as the Rockefeller Times Trade Plaza. When I was in junior high school, many children liked to play there." Lu Mingfei looked at the CBD area in the distance and knew the layout of the city like the back of his hand.

For some reason, the deserted urban area behind them was very clear, but the location that Lu Mingfei was more familiar with was very blurry. Several tall buildings of the Black Prince Group and Su Shi Minerals were all submerged in clouds and mist.

The warning light on the dashboard was on, and Lu Mingfei knew he couldn't go any further. He relied on his memory to find the nearest gas station in Times Square and parked the car in the refueling area.

"Why don't we get off here? There's a Carrefour mall next to us. You can go change your clothes. If you're hungry, check the supermarket for food." Lu Mingfei said to the others in the car, "I'll refuel the car and check the damage. If nothing unexpected happens during this time, we'll meet here in fifteen minutes?"

Nono and Finkel got out of the car quickly and headed straight for the mall gate. Eri was still waiting in the car.

"Isn't Eiry going with us?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"But..." Eri wanted to say something.

"You must be hungry after running for so long. Don't worry about me. Just go if you want to." Lu Mingfei smiled and said, "Follow your brothers and sisters closely. Don't get lost."
