Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 95 Exploration of the Old Town (Part [-])
Today's sky is dark and gloomy.

Although it was morning, it looked like night.

Come to the pedestrian street again...

At this time, Chen Ye had a new understanding of this place.His pace slowed down, his mind was highly concentrated, observing the direction of the halo of luck, and he didn't even check his bloody phone.

It seemed that after the uproar, there was a deeper silence.

At a glance, there was no one on the entire road, and the gates on both sides were closed.

It was completely restored to its previous appearance.

It seems that the night of the night that never sleeps is just an illusion.

Chen Ye quickly came to the barbecue stand that must be passed by...

However, those figures selling barbecues have all disappeared!

The whole road becomes empty.

The long line of customers also disappeared without a trace.

"They're all gone?" Chen Ye frowned slightly.

He originally wanted to use the halo of luck to find those figures selling barbecue, and follow this clue to investigate the source of the pollution.

But the changes in front of him had to make Chen Ye adjust his plan.

His eyes fell on the 'skinned eyeballs wrapped in crispy meat' in his pocket, and he saw several black lines, which differentiated and slowly spread towards the old city in front of him.

"Is it related to the old city again?"

If I'm not mistaken... these barbecue stall owners should be residents of the old city.

Carefully recalling the details in my mind and concatenating them into a complete timeline, the equivalent scam that first appeared probably broke out from inside the old city.

Calculating from the initial time, before the food contamination broke out completely, there were already barbecue stall owners.

At that time, these stall owners had been polluted and controlled, and thus reduced to pawns.

Then came the large-scale pollution outbreak, then food prices rose, the traffic of buying barbecue increased, and then the appearance of beetles...

But why did these pollution spread in the city?

Except for the old city, the other areas near Xijiang are not a problem.

While thoughts were flying, Chen Ye's figure had already appeared at the entrance of the old city.

This place impressed itself the first two days.

However, coming here again, the main road is still filled with a faint white mist, and occasionally there are a few black mist, which are also related to the clues of the beetle.

There was no sign of blood coming.

On the contrary, between the intertwined black mist and white mist, there is still that thick mountain-like mysterious yellow.

"Maybe we can find some clues."

Observing the changes in the signs of luck, Chen Ye was determined, stepped forward, and walked forward along this line.

The sky is very dark, but compared with the night, there is finally a little light source, and the surrounding details can be seen more clearly.

On the road, those bloodstains disappeared at some point. Apart from being desolate, the road surface was neat and looked clean.

As if it had been cleaned.

The buildings on both sides of the old city are not so oppressive at the moment, and the roads are open, and walking is smoother than the intricate maze of Xining alleys.

With the help of better light, Chen Ye saw the low single-family houses in the old city, the densely-packed residents lined up like a beehive, the old wells, the outdated drainage system and several Discarded in the nearby iron bucket.

"well?"

Chen Ye seems to have caught some key clue.

That's right!

The water circulation system in the old city has not been updated much, and many households still maintain the traditional well-type water intake method.

This will bring downstream pollution and opportunities!

Along the way, every few meters, you can see a wellhead.

Chen Ye walked near one of the wells.

however……

To his surprise, looking in along the mouth of the well, the inside was filled with thick concrete, which had been blocked and was drier than dry land, without even a drop of water.

Chen Ye opened several manhole covers in a row and found the same scene.

"Does it have nothing to do with the well?" Chen Ye couldn't help but muttered in his heart.

But... the moment he got close to the manhole cover, he clearly saw the black lines, which became a little thicker.

Judging by the halo of luck, it is not completely irrelevant.

It's just that the correlation between the two has not yet been investigated clearly.

Chen Ye continued to follow the guidance of the black lines, walking all the way forward.

Walking forward along the main road shrouded in white mist, there was basically no danger, not even a shadow of a resident of the old city.

Following the guidance of the ink-colored lines, follow the fork on the right and continue walking west...

Judging from the direction presented by the map of the homeless, this old city is integrated with the lower reaches of the Xijiang River.

Go out from the westernmost intersection and cross a road to the lower reaches of the Xijiang River.

Before the bloody countdown, the area near the river was the most prosperous area in the old city.That area is full of western-style single-family courtyards, and the architectural style is obviously closer to modernization.

When Chen Ye came here, these small single-family buildings were abandoned and covered with moss.The messy wires criss-crossed and passed through the old residential buildings, densely covered like spider webs.

At this time, Chen Ye clearly noticed the black lines, which became particularly bright.

I am constantly approaching the source of guidance...

"Why do you feel that the pupil of luck you have drawn is so suitable for a detective?" Chen Ye complained in his heart.

If I unlock the profession of a detective now, I am afraid that the strange value will explode every minute!
However, to investigate these auras, it seems that you have to rely on your legs to get out.

This fits well with the performance of the homeless...

His figure stopped near a canal, and the water inside the gully had completely dried up, only gray gravel and clods of soil piled up inside.

However, when Chen Ye stood here, the black lines beside him seemed to come to life, and began to wriggle slowly, conspicuously highlighted.

"Is it here?"

Chen Ye looked down and found that there were countless black lines under the canal, intertwined continuously, like a mess.

He looked around and found that there was no other passage to go down.

But judging from the appearance of luck, there are clearly traces of "alive" underground in this canal!

Is there something buried in it?
After taking a few steps hard, Chen Ye felt that the canal under his feet was not so "solid", and there seemed to be some hidden cave space hidden at the bottom.

He found a stone from the side and slammed it down...

If you listen carefully, you can hear a slight echo lingering, indicating that there is still a wide space hidden under the canal!

"The ink color is distributed in dots, blending with the faint blood color. It is not a ring of disaster and evil spirit, but like a secret hidden in the dark."

"Although there is blood light, it is not obvious, which means that although the things inside are dangerous, but for me at present, the threat should not be great."

"After all, I have a second-rank job in me, and I'm still the top [Devil Chef]!"

"The question now is... how to get down?"

Chen Ye stood where he was, frowning and thinking.

Who would have thought that the thing I want to investigate is actually underground!

Do you really want to turn into a gopher and dig a hole down?

and many more……

Speaking of gophers, Chen Ye suddenly remembered that he devoured 'skinned eyeballs wrapped in crispy rice', which can grow sharp horns like electric drills, endowing them with powerful digging capabilities.

It seems that you can really turn into a gopher!

Chen Ye took out the eyeballs in his pocket, split into several vines, and swallowed them directly.

In the next second, his mind became the same shape as that beetle, but bigger, thicker, and faster...

After touching the new [Devil Mask], Chen Ye couldn't help but shook his head and smiled. The world is impermanent, and he never thought that he would one day become the chainsaw brother!
With his head down, he drilled hard, and the hollow surface broke open instantly, making a cracking sound.

The drilling efficiency was extremely high, but after a long time, a big hole was drilled on the surface of the canal that could accommodate an adult to drill in.

boom!
Suddenly, the stratum structure seemed to be destroyed to a certain critical point, and suddenly the whole block collapsed!

Chen Ye suddenly felt that he was falling towards a certain place, and he immediately switched to the form of [Devourer], his face split open and turned into vines, supporting him towards the ground!

The devil vines touched the ground, and immediately found a point of force, like countless tentacles, stepping on the ground.

Chen Ye's body was suspended in mid-air with the help of vines, and after stabilizing his figure, he looked around.

It is an underground space similar to a cave.

With the help of the screen light source of the bloody mobile phone, Chen Ye's eyes adapted to the dim light and saw the surrounding objects clearly...

However, the picture reflected in the pupil is like another piece of hell!
He saw corpses piled up like a mountain, he saw the dense white bones, rotting flesh and blood, and the densely packed ugly bugs crawling among countless corpse mountains!

Those insects seemed to have entered their paradise, happily devouring the blood of the bodies on the ground, and sometimes making cheerful screams.
