Restricted area grave keeper

Chapter 212 Half a Year
After another strange movement, the sound in the room suddenly disappeared, as if the monster had quietly left here.

or……

It is now hiding in the dark, looking at the terrified people with a playful face, savoring the taste of fear from the harvest.

Thinking of this, the brothers and sisters Zhang Tao and Zhang Rouzhu didn't dare to show their anger, and they didn't dare to make any moves. It wasn't until about 10 minutes passed, when there seemed to be no movement in the room, that Zhang Tao mustered up his courage and stretched out his hand carefully Touched around.

Empty, nothing.

However, in the next second, he suddenly touched a slightly cold hand, and he trembled suddenly, almost screaming out.

Fortunately, these hands were not monster's. Before he could step back, he heard a calm voice beside him: "It's okay, that thing has gone."

...It was Bai Mo's voice.

However, upon hearing this, instead of being happy, Zhang Tao felt his scalp tingle instantly - didn't he tell this guy to keep quiet, why did he dare to speak so loudly?
You must know that the monster is extremely sensitive to sound, a little disturbance can attract its attention, and it will greatly arouse its ferocity.

Talking rashly like Bai Mo, even if the monster has really left, it might come back soon after hearing the voice!
Zhang Tao was so anxious that he didn't dare to speak out to remind him. However, as time passed, he hesitated for a long time, and he never heard the strange sound again. It seemed that the monster had really left.

About half a minute later, the room was suddenly lit up, and the strange crystals shone brightly one after another, like electric lights, reflecting three faces with different expressions.

As soon as the room was lit up, Zhang Tao immediately looked around vigilantly. After seeing that there were no traces of monsters in the room, he was slightly relieved, and then looked at Bai Mo beside him with a puzzled expression.

"How do you know that monster is gone?"

The latter looked calm: "I can feel it."

"Feel?"

"Well, it stayed in front of me for a while, and then left." Bai Mo continued.

Zhang Tao looked strange: "Do you know what that is?"

"I don't know, but I know, it's not human anyway."

Bai Mo shook his head, he really didn't know what that thing was.

"Hey, I heard that it is a kind of monster in the restricted area. It cannot see and looks for food by listening to the sound. However, they usually have their own fixed predation time. At this time, they should be hiding in the restricted area. They shouldn't It's... weird to show up."

Speaking of this, Zhang Tao showed a worried look, and then he couldn't help but rejoice, "Fortunately, I have prepared a long time ago, and I found someone to buy a few breath-suppressing charms in advance, which can cover our breath, although expensive is expensive. A little bit, but useful."

He looked pleased.

Bai Mo was silent, he suddenly wanted to ask the other party where he heard the information about the monster.

The person on the spider monster's back has so many eyes, you actually told me it couldn't see...

There is also the so-called breath-holding spell.

He took off a piece of yellow paper from his forehead, and he knew very well in his heart that this thing did not possess any extraordinary power at all, it could be said to be no different from waste paper, and he did not know where he bought it at a high price, it was obviously cheated.

"Brother, I have a question..."

While thinking, Zhang Rouzhu, who managed to stabilize his mood, suddenly said, "Did you hear a sound just now, a sound like swallowing saliva?"

Zhang Tao was taken aback for a moment, then opened his mouth wide.

Yeah, why did I forget about this?

He quickly looked at Bai Mo, wondering, "Did the voice just now come from you?"

"No, but I heard it too." Bai Mo shook his head.

"It's not you?" Zhang Tao was taken aback, and said blankly, "Who could it be?"

He didn't doubt it too much, and felt that the voice should indeed not be from Bai Mo, otherwise the other party would not have the opportunity to stand here and chat with them at this time.

After all, in front of that thing, there is no difference between making a sound and dying.

"It must have been sent by a monster." After a while, Bai Mo said.

"Monster?" Zhang Tao and Zhang Rouzhu were taken aback at the same time.

"Yeah, maybe... it's hungry?"

Seeing Bai Mo's serious appearance, Zhang Tao and Zhang Rouzhu looked at each other. For some reason, they always felt that this rescued person was a bit strange.

...Not to mention anything else, at least he is very courageous.

After a brief silence, Zhang Tao said with a smile: "Speaking of being hungry, I'm really hungry. Just in time, I'll go to the kitchen and bring the food."

With that said, he walked outside the house.

Not long after, he came into the house with food and brought three sets of bowls and chopsticks.

The brothers and sisters quickly started eating, and motioned Bai Mo to eat too.

However, Bai Mo just glanced at the food, and then remained motionless, without any intention of moving the chopsticks.

"Brother Bai, why don't you eat?"

Zhang Tao noticed this, looked at the shabby food on the table, seemed to think of something, and then said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, is the food not to your liking?"

... I have to say that for a person recovering from a serious illness, these meals are not nutritious at all, and the taste is not very good, so it is no wonder that the other party does not want to eat them.

However, Bai Mo just shook his head, resisting the urge to belch.

"No, I'm full."

……

During the meal, Bai Mo asked the two of them about the current time, only to learn that half a year had passed since he left Dongyang City.

In the past six months, the world structure can be said to have undergone drastic changes.

Although he had expected this for a long time, and was even one of the promoters of world changes, he didn't know the specific changes, so he asked Zhang Tao for a closer look.

Zhang Tao didn't think too much about it, he didn't know much, and he quickly told everything he knew.

It turned out that just half a month after the Equality Paradise collapsed, a large number of restricted areas in the world suddenly expanded outwards, and even intersected with each other during the expansion process, squeezing the territory of the safe zone together.

Although the council promptly organized the districts to clean up the expanded restricted areas, the number of expanded restricted areas was too great, and the human side couldn't allocate enough manpower, and the defense line quickly collapsed, so they could only concentrate on dealing with the most important restricted areas.

The price of doing this is to allow other restricted areas to expand, and these restricted areas gradually formed a huge scale, and even intersected with each other, further reducing the scope of the safe zone.

The expansion of the prohibition also means the expansion of the area of ​​biological activities in the forbidden zone. Under the attack of the forbidden creatures, it is obviously impossible for human beings to be safe and sound. In the past six months, nearly one-third of the urban area has fallen.

The only good thing is that the expansion of the restricted area is not endless, there seems to be a saturation, and it will stop when the expansion reaches a certain range.

If this is not the case, the situation of human beings will only get worse and worse.

It is worth mentioning that although the forbidden zone has been expanded, the position of the stone tablet in the forbidden zone will not be greatly shifted, and its existence still has a restrictive effect on the creatures in the forbidden zone.

Even if the territory of the restricted area has been expanded and the field of activity has been expanded, most of the time the creatures in the restricted area will still inhabit within the scope of the stone tablet, and only occasionally come out to move around, and this also allows people living in the expanded restricted area to have a little room to breathe .

After that, humans named this area between the safe zone and the forbidden zone as the buffer zone.

However, due to the further narrowing of the safety zone, the issue of human land becomes more tense.

At such a time, strength is particularly important. Soon, almost all the urban areas that have not yet fallen will be occupied by extraordinary people. As for those with mediocre strength, they can only wander outside the safe zone, and even live in fear In the zone, it may be attacked by forbidden creatures at any time.

Brother and sister Zhang Tao are ordinary people living in the buffer zone.

In the buffer zone, there are not a few people like them. They were squeezed out of the safe zone due to lack of strength, which is equivalent to being abandoned by the city in disguise. Therefore, these people mocked themselves and gave them a title——

Abandoned by the new generation.

But the emergence of the buffer zone is not all bad, crisis and opportunity often coexist.

With the expansion of the restricted area, precious items such as rare treasures that only appeared in the restricted area in the past have also appeared in the buffer zone, which means that people have more opportunities to obtain them, thereby changing their fate—— Even if you are just an ordinary person.

For example, the "Hansheng Mine" mentioned by Zhang Tao before, there is a chance to dig out rare treasures, which belongs to the buffer zone.

It is precisely because of this that the number of superhumans has exploded in the past six months, and the use of supernatural power by human beings is far beyond the past. Organizations of all sizes have emerged one after another, and many places seem to have launched plans to regain the safe zone...

All in all, this is a new era, and the world structure has further changed. It can be said to be the second period of the restricted area era.

That's all Zhang Tao knew.

Since the expansion of the restricted zone half a year ago, he has been forced to live in the buffer zone with extra care, because he is afraid of danger, and he does not even dare to leave the familiar area too far on weekdays, so as not to be caught by creatures in the restricted zone after entering an unfamiliar environment. attack.

Because of this, his sources of information are quite limited, and he doesn't know much.

After chatting for a while, Bai Mo also knew Zhang Tao's purpose in saving him.

He had realized one thing long ago, that is, the brother and sister seemed too happy about his awakening, as if they had been looking forward to it for a long time.

Obviously, this cannot be explained by the simple word "kindness", so they probably have other purposes.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Tao had no intention of hiding it, so he hesitated for a moment before bringing this up to Bai Mo.

But before that, he first told Bai Mo a strange thing he had heard recently.
