Rebirth: I can easily control the end-of-the-world game

Chapter 616 [Swamp Town] 3

In Ethan's words, the town of Hughes is as perfect as a paradise on earth.

The pace of life is slow, and no one will force you to do anything here. You can do whatever you want. There are no bustling markets, no noisy crowds, and the most pristine nature is everywhere nearby, with hundreds of years old giant trees visible everywhere.

"Just be careful if you want to wander around here. It's best to go in a group. There are quite a few swamps around here, and no one would know if you drowned."

Ethan sighed, "I still remember when I was eight years old, I went to play in the forest and accidentally fell into a swamp. It was raining at the time, and my friends and I got lost. I called out for a long time, but no one came to find me. I was so dazed that I saw a white light with my sharp eyes. I went to heaven. When I woke up, I was already in the hospital, lying in bed for over a month."

Ethan thought back to his childhood. His memories were vague, but he still remembered the feeling of being stuck in the swamp. "Oh, here we are! Look, our town isn't bad, right? Look over there, that red house! That's Old Marsh's house!"

As they were talking, the tall and dense trees nearby disappeared and turned into relatively low trees. The road also became wider, from a muddy path to an asphalt road. With the road as the center, there were many houses scattered on both sides.

Feng Lan looked at these houses. Although they seemed to be intact on the surface, many of them looked desolate and deserted. Some of the roofs were covered with dust and leaves, and the lawns in front of the doors were overgrown with weeds as tall as a person, and the ground was cracked. It was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.

Some doors were open, and an old man was sitting in the corridor that was sheltered from the rain. He was staggering on a recliner and watching the drizzle. His gray hair was blurred by the rain, and he looked lifeless like a still-breathing corpse.

Feng Lan took a quick look and then withdrew his gaze, releasing his spiritual sense to quickly scan the entire town, alarming many players. He only withdrew his gaze after finding nothing.

"who is it?"

"That's really brave."

An Shao frowned, feeling unhappy. She followed this mental power and went out for a walk, but didn't catch anyone. The dungeon had just begun, and there were players who were so bold that they didn't even understand the rules yet, but were rushing around recklessly. If they broke any rules, they might even implicate other players.

"How...stupid." An Shao was dissatisfied. How could such an idiot exist among A-level players? Moreover, this dungeon only had 15 players, yet 30 of them came in! The main quest was also strangely completed right at the start.

"Linda? What are you daydreaming about? A lot of people have come to old Marsh's house. Come on, let's go and take a look." The people around An Shao pulled her and walked excitedly towards the red house.

Such a grand search for relatives can be said to be a big event and an interesting thing in the lifeless town, almost as exciting as a movie.

A few well-dressed city people came again, doing some notarization. Today, more than a dozen young people, both men and women, came and made a lot of noise in old Marsh's house. It was a much bigger scene than when Eleanor came to the town alone in a low-key manner before.

Feng Lan didn't care about those who were following her and searching for her with their spiritual sense. She began to model and replay the entire town she had just seen in her memory palace, breaking down the image of each person bit by bit.

The town is very large, stretching for over a hundred kilometers just from the houses, but most of the houses are abandoned and uninhabited. Most of the remaining population lives in the center of the town, which has basic town-level infrastructure, medical care, education, and retail supermarkets.

Logically speaking, in such a closed town, the elderly should make up the majority, with very few young people. However, the number of young people Feng Lan encountered far exceeded the normal proportion, at three-fifths, more than half, which was not normal.
