city ​​of the end

Chapter 157 Rumors
Everything that happened in the gathering place is of great significance to the elf girl, but to Faerun and others, it is not something worth paying attention to at all.After packing up their things, they set out on the road again, heading towards the city in front of them according to their original plan.But this time is different from before, Fei Lun and others are not blinded by it.Because they more or less knew some information from those mutants, but this information...

"There's nothing nearby..."

Looking out through the car window and looking at the dilapidated houses in front of him, Fei Lun couldn't help sighing softly.At this moment they have reached the suburban residential area.This can be regarded as the first threshold of the ruined city. During the catastrophe, the residential area was the hardest-hit place, so it will inevitably be full of all kinds of mutants and zombies.Of course, although it is not ruled out that these monsters did not find the Harmony covered by the optical camouflage, but... Thinking of this, Fei Lun couldn't help but glanced at Krona beside him. He raised his head and shook his head.

"I haven't found anything, Commander."

It seems that the situation is already obvious.

"Looking at it this way, what those mutants said is very likely to be true..."

"what are you guys saying?"

Hearing Faerun talking to himself, the elf girl also asked.Although she was still very sad in the first few days, now, the elf girl seems to have accepted this reality, at least on the surface, she is no different from before.

"We got a piece of information from mutants before, but because it was too weird, we need to confirm it..."

"intelligence?"

"That's right, according to the mutants, a group of familiars has occupied the city and ruled a gathering place..."

Speaking of this, Fei Lun also shook his head involuntarily. Frankly speaking, when he first heard the news from the mutant population, Fei Lun didn't believe it.Familiars do have the habit of occupying territory and power, but it is very difficult for them to rule the gathering place.At least in the wilderness, most of the familiars Phelan has seen are lone travelers, or wandering races like Pumpkin Jack, or like the coffin familiars, they find a place to live by themselves, NEET, a dead house where the intruders die.It is hard to imagine for Faerun to use demons to rule human beings.

Leaving aside whether human beings are willing to accept the rule of familiars, there is one most important point before that—can familiars and human beings have the same values?

True, Delin was very human, but that was the result of the decades Faerun had spent with her, by precept and deed.In the beginning, Delin was like a stray cat.Wanting to tame a wild cat into a docile domestic cat like it is now, it can be said that all of Faerun's energy has been exhausted.And even so, Delin basically only revealed her heart when facing Faerun. When facing other people, she still had the same attitude as other familiars toward humans.

Don't care, don't care, don't matter.

Even if she pays attention to a certain person, it is because that person is likely to have an influence or potential threat to Faerun, not because she has any interest in that human being itself.

To put it bluntly, the relationship between familiars and humans is like the relationship between humans and cats and dogs. Those who are interested will take a look, and those who are kind will raise a group.But if he doesn't like it, just throw it away——the familiar is not human, why should they have a sense of responsibility for human beings?
So when he first heard what the mutants said, Feren didn't believe it.Moreover, the unit used by the opponent is "a group" instead of "one", which is even more incredible.If it's "one", then it's understandable. After all, familiars have all kinds of strange personalities. Maybe someone has a twitch and decides to bow to the essence of human communism and die.But if you want to talk about a group of familiars... If there is no trouble, then thank God.

But now, after reaching the outskirts of the city, he couldn't even see half of the monsters and zombies, which immediately caught Faerun's attention.He had to admit that although the scene in front of him seemed unbelievable, if it was true that a group of familiars ruled the place as the mutants said, then all this could be explained.

It is true that urban ruins are very dangerous for human beings, but for familiars, it is like a tiger going up a mountain and a lion going down to the grassland, it can be said to be like a fish in water.Danger?The familiar is not afraid of death, and he cannot die anyway.Moreover, the network energy in the city ruins is very sufficient, and they are not worried about this problem.With the invincible plug-in, where can the familiars go?If a group of familiars really wanted to do it, then sweeping up a city would not be a problem for them.

only………

"Let's change the way and see if we can go around."

As the person with the deepest understanding of familiars among all of them, Faerun finally made such a decision.He really didn't know what the way those familiars were.Generally speaking, the possibility of "peaceful coexistence" between familiars and humans is not impossible, but it is not possible to completely deny that the other party may have the idea of ​​"ruling humans".If those familiars acted based on the idea of ​​"ruling mankind", then Faerun would not be interested in dealing with them. Although the possibility of this is really low, it is better than the sudden twitching of the familiars. It is much more reliable for mankind to build a brave new world.

"Okay, Commander."

Hearing Fei Lun's order, Ailuka immediately drove the Harmony, turned from the side into a small road, and drove forward along the road sign in front of her.

But it's a pity that this time Fei Lun didn't get what he wanted.Because no one has used those paths all year round, they have long been closed by bushes and vines crawling around.Coupled with the wreckage of vehicles everywhere, Ailuka couldn't drive very far and had to choose to go around in another direction.After all, the Harmony is a car, not an airplane. There are more and more obstacles on the road, and the path it can move forward is getting narrower and narrower. In the end, Phelan had to choose to turn around again and return along the original road. Then try it from the other side.But this time, his attempt ended in failure.

This road is connected to a viaduct, and this viaduct has already collapsed due to disrepair... Nonsense, the world has been destroyed for so many years, who will repair it!
In Hollywood blockbusters, the hero can drive over cliffs and bridges, but that is also a sports car or a motorcycle. You can ask him to drive a school bus or a public bus... Hehe... You can fly over, but Newton will not agree.

Although the world is not so scientific now, it is because people and familiars have become unscientific, but these technological products are still scientific, so they still have to follow scientific principles.

"What to do? Commander?"

After turning around two or three times in a row, and confirming that unless the Harmony had wings, there was no way for them to go around, Ailuka asked helplessly.Hearing Aluka's question, Ferren was silent for a moment, and then looked at Franka beside him.

"Franka, look at what's going on in the city."

"Okay, master."

Hearing Fei Lun's words, Franca nodded immediately, and then saw the little guy turned over and jumped from the sunroof to the roof of the car, and then re-transformed into the previous appearance wearing a red and black midriff-baring outfit, opening his eyes Big eyes look forward.According to Franke, in this form, she can even count the floor tiles several kilometers away, which is even easier to use than the top telescope.

Of course, except for astronomical telescopes.

"how is the situation?"

"Well...it's very clean!"

clean?What the hell is this?

Hearing Franka's answer, Phelan was taken aback for a moment.

"What do you mean?"

"Well...the roads in the city are clean, and there is nothing blocking the way..."

"Aren't there any wrecks of a car?"

"No, nothing."

How can it be?

Hearing this, Fei Lun couldn't help frowning.The outskirts of the city have become like this, and the ruins of the city should only be worse. In almost all the ruins of the city, the wreckage of those vehicles is everywhere, and it is common for the entire road to be blocked.When the Ninth District was developing the ruins before, it relied on the bunkers made of these vehicle wreckages to build the first line of defense.It was just a small city, but now this city can be described as a relatively prosperous city, how could it be possible that there is not even a car on the road?
And at this moment, Franka's voice came again suddenly.

"Master, I see a wall!"

"wall?"

"Very high wall...I can't see what's on the other side of the wall, anyway, this wall is very high, and it blocks our way..."

"…………"

Hearing Franke's description, Phelan couldn't help but frowned, and after a while, he made a decision.

"Come on, let's go and see."
