Comprehensive Network: The Journey of the Lord of War

Chapter 35

A whole week has passed since Maple Leaf City was shrouded in gray fog.

The thick and viscous fog piled up together, covering the sky and the sun, completely shrouding this beautiful town in mist.

The summer sun was bright, but it couldn't penetrate this layer of fog. Against the background of the fog, the whole small town looked particularly gloomy.

Looking from the outside, the shadowy spiers in the city stand tall in the fog, distorted and blurred by the hazy light, like a ghost in the smoke with teeth and claws.

"Captain! Look!"

The soldiers guarding the sentry tower anxiously called to the captain. Just now, through the arcane mirror, he saw two human figures passing by the city gate from a distance.

But since the change in Red Maple City, I and others have lost contact with the outside world, and the whole city has been shrouded in a thick layer of fog. Where can there be outsiders?
The city is full of monsters, and the teams sent out to investigate are different.

The only luck is that those terrible monsters in the city will not leave the city on their own initiative, which gives the soldiers in the camp outside the city some breathing space.

The materials in the camp can last for a while, but the turbulent hearts don't know how long they can last.

Thinking of the recent rumors, the soldier felt his calf tremble.

"Team, Captain, shouldn't those monsters in the city want to come out?"

"To shut up!"

The captain gave him a slap on the head, and the expression on his face was uncertain.

He has also heard the recent rumors, but out of military duties, despite his uneasiness, he still scolded coldly: "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Someone will deal with them."

As if comforting his subordinates and convincing himself, the captain nodded and whispered firmly, "Someone will deal with them."

……

"This city is really weird."

Qin Zheng, who was fully armed, carefully followed behind the burly General Xing, and the two stepped gently through the half-closed city gate and walked into the city.

The transmission location of the comprehensive network is just at the north gate of the city. As for how Qin Zheng knew, when he raised his head, Qin Zheng saw that above the two crimson gates, there was an unknown font depicting " The word "North Gate".

General Xing held the pear blossom mountain ax in his hand, and walked ahead to open the way without hesitation, and shouted, "In the blink of an eye, the world is changed, and the power of immortals and Buddhas is nothing more than this."

General Xing muttered in a low voice, while being alert to the situation around him.

Before entering the secret realm this time, the lord has explained clearly, General Xing understands the danger and suffering of this trip.

The so-called knowing oneself and the enemy will never end in a hundred battles.

This foreign city is full of dangers, the situation is unknown, and if you act rashly, you will violate the taboo of military strategists.

Their trip was just as scouts to find out the reality of this place.

But in the army, the job of scouting has always been the most dangerous job.

General Xing was both worried and admired by the lord and himself as scouts.

A gentleman is not good under a dangerous wall. The lord's experience does not seem like a wise master, General Xing complained in his heart.

After repeated dissuasion was useless, General Xing had no choice but to silently swear in his heart that he had to protect the lord and not let him make any mistakes.

Qin Zheng followed General Xing, looking left and right cautiously, but he couldn't know the complicated psychological activities in General Xing's heart from under the face of General Xing wearing a gas mask.

Of course, even if he knew, Qin Zheng would only say that his life was not as precious as that of General Xing.

If we act together, if we really encounter an irresistible danger, Qin Zheng can send General Xing back to the Lord's space in an instant, and then run away and exit the instance immediately.

Just as the land reclamation of the dungeon is bound to be accompanied by surprises and frights, Qin Zheng's trip was originally to open his eyes, to see what is so magical about the rare secret realm in the mouth of the magic girl.

But fortunately, the journey after entering the city gate has been calm.

Not to mention monsters, Qin Zheng didn't even see a shadow of a monster.

The only change was that the fog became thicker as it gradually penetrated into the urban area. In the gray fog, Qin Zheng couldn't see anything ten meters away.

"My lord, this fog is abnormal."

General Xing also discovered this, and he resolutely said to Qin Zheng, "I have been traveling for many years, and I have encountered heavy fog to seal the mountain, but even though the fog in the mountain is thick, if the martial arts cultivation level reaches our level, it can still kill hundreds of people. Step range into the fundus."

"But the fog in this city, with the general's eyesight, can't see through ten paces, there must be something strange."

Qin Zheng nodded and said very well, don't say it next time.

Can Qin Zheng not know that the mist is weird?He was even worried that the fog was poisonous, otherwise how could the two of them enter the city wearing gas masks.

Who knows what happened in this city, it's so strange that I haven't even seen half of the moving things.

Not far from the north gate is a street. Through the layout along the way, Qin Zheng can see that this is a commercial street, and there are various shops on both sides of the wide road.

There was a penetrating dead silence on the street, Qin Zheng and General Xing kept their mouths shut, and their spirits became more and more tense without knowing it. This strange atmosphere caused deep anxiety in their hearts.

Qin Zheng asked General Xing to guard the door, let the little goblin enter the roadside shop through the window to confirm safety, and then tiptoed into it, observing the layout of the room.

"There is a thin layer of dust on the chair and table, it seems that something happened for a long time."

Qin Zheng looked at the thick fog outside the house rather puzzled, and said to himself, "There is no trace of fighting in the room, and the things on the table are neat. It seems that the people in the room disappeared in an instant, which is strange."

It has been half an hour since they entered the city. During this half hour, the two of them did not see any living things, no matter whether they were humans, cats, dogs, birds or beasts.

This undoubtedly aggravated the suspicion and tension in their hearts.

General Xing frowned, and muttered, "Made, what the hell, this is not a ghost town."

Not long after moving on, General Xing stopped, with a worried expression, and asked, "My lord, did you hear that?"

Qin Zheng was slightly taken aback, and listened attentively.

It was a melodious and melodious singing voice, like the sound of a clear spring and the crowing of a phoenix, each tone seemed to fall on the heartstrings, it was intoxicating and yearning.

This song should only be found in heaven, and it is rare to hear it in the world.

Qin Zheng's face was full of intoxication, and then his body was shaken crazily by General Xing, and a loud shout came from his ear, "My lord, wake up!"

This time, the singing was completely disrupted, leaving only dizziness in Qin Zheng's head.

After regaining consciousness for a while, Qin Zheng struggled hard and said, "Okay, okay! I'm fine."

General Xing breathed a sigh of relief, "I scared the general to death, my lord, forgive me, this demon music has the effect of confusing the mind, and the general will be offended."

The corner of Qin Zheng's mouth twitched slightly, who told me to listen?

Qin Zheng hesitated to speak, then waved his hands helplessly without saying anything.

But just after Qin Zheng calmed down, he couldn't hear the singing again, and the two looked at each other.

After this small episode, Qin Zheng became more cautious and continued to explore the street cautiously.

Qin Zheng summoned a little goblin, let it open the door first and enter the room to inspect it. After ensuring safety, he entered gently, and then walked gently, without taking a single thread.

After observation, Qin Zheng found that every house had accumulated a thin layer of dust, and some stinky and rotten food remained on some tables. It seemed that the owner did not expect the change, and disappeared in just a moment. .

Qin Zheng became more and more vigilant. After opening the room, he focused on observing the objects and books in the room, turning a blind eye to the gold and silver belongings in the room.

After some actions, Qin Zheng collected a lot of information.

For example, from a manual in a bookstore, he learned that this world is called Tiana Continent. This city is located in the Saipan territory in the northern part of the Silai Empire. It is a well-known tourist city. It is full of bright red in autumn. It is named after the fiery red maple.

From the tape recorders, folded newspapers, and brass steam pipes that appeared in the room, Qin Zheng judged that the technological level of the Silai Empire was at the level of the Earth's Victorian period.

In this world, steam technology is in the ascendant, witchcraft and magic are prevalent, singing and dancing are on the bright side, but there is darkness in the shadows.

As for how Qin Zheng made the judgment based on this, it can only be said that the locality has its own national conditions.

Hell, have you seen any newspapers that have homicides or alien attacks every now and then, with adverts featuring astrologers and exorcism experts fighting each other, and even weird things like rich money for a child, lost treasure, etc. It highlights the barbaric growth of a hundred schools of thought contending, and at a glance, one can feel the vigor and vitality of this world.

Tsk, this world is quite interesting, Qin Zheng was amazed when he saw the report in the newspaper that a hundred flowers blossomed and demons danced wildly.

However, Qin Zheng didn't waste his efforts. From the neatly arranged newspapers in the bookstore, he did find some clues.

A newspaper reported that Sir Sunak’s mansion at No. 36 Bauhinia Avenue always had beautiful singing at midnight. Want to get close to it, want to occupy it.

Some people say that Sir Sunak secretly raised a mermaid at home, and some people say that it was Sir Sunak's daughter singing. There are various rumors.

This report appeared in an entertainment tabloid. It seemed that everyone just regarded it as an ordinary topic in life, but when Qin Zheng saw it, he immediately paid attention to it.

Is there any connection between this singing voice and the singing voice that I almost fell for?

As we all know, the truth is often hidden in rumors, Qin Zheng's intuition told him that this Sir Sunak is very tricky.

Qin Zheng thought about it, and there are currently two targets in front of him.

One is the bell tower in the dungeon introduction, and the other is Sir Sunak's mansion. Years of game experience told Qin Zheng that there must be clues related to this mutation in these two places.

Fortunately, Qin Zheng happened to find a copy of "Red Maple City Travel Guide" in the bookstore, with a map of the entire city on it.

Qin Zheng was extremely glad that he had chosen to load "Language Proficiency" and "Proficiency in Writing" through the comprehensive network before entering the secret realm. Knowledge is power, and it will be used immediately.

"Let me see where I should go first?"

Turning over the map, I determined that the area I was in was the northern part of the city through the location of the bookstore. The clock tower was in the center of the city, and it was the tallest landmark in that area.

Sir Sunak's home is in the middle of Bauhinia Avenue in the DC area, which is a wealthy area in the city with a beautiful environment and wide roads. It is about three streets away from Qin Zheng, and it takes about an hour in the past.

"Go to Sir Sunak's house first to see what happened, then go to the clock tower in the center of the city and wait for the midnight bell."

Qin Zheng decided on the next course of action in his mind, and at this moment, General Xing, who was guarding the door, warned him: "My lord, there is movement outside!"

Qin Zheng immediately put away the map, carefully moved to the window, and looked at the street outside from the corner of his eye.

It was mid-afternoon at this time, the sun was cut off from the fog, and the light in the fog was dim, but at the end of the street, there were spots of light flickering regularly.

"Survivor? Or a trap?"

Qin Zheng frowned, the flickering spot of light was shaking from the corner of the street dozens of steps away, Qin Zheng decided to summon a centaur elite from the space and let it explore the way first after thinking for a moment.

General Xing and Qin Zheng secretly followed behind him and waited for an opportunity.

People and horses fly boldly, and they will carry their own backs in case of accidents.
