The First Mist Chapter 49: The Origin of Ruins
Su Shuang, Cao Fei and Mo Xiaoxiao also drew their swords. They were going to go deeper into the center of the incident. They might encounter ruins at any time, and it would be too late to draw their swords then.
Seeing this, Xu Shen also drew his sword and held it in his hand.
Although he trained in swordplay every day, the concentration of his own energy was such that even a simple sword swing would do considerable damage, not to mention that he had support in the team.
If you carry a sword on your back, it will seem a bit pretentious and attract attention.
Xu Shen stood in the center of the team, Mo Xiaoxiao on the left, and Su Shuang on the right. They all knew that Xu Shen was a newcomer with little experience in slaying the ruins. Even if his ruin power was strong, it would be useless if he couldn't react in time when attacked.
Cao Fei grumbled about Xu Shen's treatment, feeling deeply jealous.
Zhou Ye cut off the messy strange grass and branches of the ruined trees along the way to avoid touching the people behind him, and found the shortest route to move forward. From here, he could see that in the illusory reality, he had crossed the street and shuttled through a group of old and low buildings.
You can also see the fog people resting in the building, and some of them are kissing each other.
In the entertainment-poor world of the Fog People, basic desires are the only way to have fun.
Xu Shen blushed when he saw some indecent scenes.
He thought the two girls around him were the same, but when he glanced over, he saw that Su Shuang looked normal, as if she had already gotten used to it, while Mo Xiaoxiao just frowned.
It turns out that my experience in killing ruins is still too scarce... Xu Shen sighed secretly in his heart.
He immediately regained his composure and looked focused.
The forest was extremely deep, and as they went deeper, there were more and more trees. Several people joined the team that cleared the way and cleared a passage.
More than ten minutes later, they stepped out of the dense forest and saw a cave in front of them.
Compared to the cave we encountered last time in the Jackal Gang, the entrance of this cave is obviously larger, but the area around the cave seems to have been maintained and there are not many weeds.
The most bizarre thing was that there were several pairs of blood-stained shoes at the entrance of the cave.
There is a word engraved on one side of the cave:
Home.
Zhou Ye frowned slightly when he saw the scene in front of him, and looked at the pairs of shoes. He found that they were not the combat boots worn by Han Yu and the others, but just ordinary civilian shoes stained with Xuli.
"These monsters actually think of themselves as human beings." Cao Fei laughed contemptuously when he saw the scene in front of him.
Xu Shen was secretly surprised and asked, "Can Xu write?"
"Some do." Su Shuang frowned and observed the surroundings, and answered Xu Shen: "Some Xu regard themselves as humans, so they imitate human life."
Xu Shen couldn't help but think of "Mom". At this moment, a question emerged in his heart: "What exactly is the Ruins?"
Maeve, who was walking around the cave entrance, looked over and said with a smile, "Do you really want to know?"
"Xu is Xu, it is a monster that invades from the depths of the world." Su Shuang said coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent. Obviously, he did not want to give Xu any other definition. Only the 'monster that must be killed' is the only destination of Xu!
Xu Shen could feel her hatred. All the people who were involved in the Xu incident had lost their loved ones and suffered the pain of being killed, so they hated Xu very much.
"This issue has always been studied by the professors in the inner city. There are currently four theories and four schools of thought. The first is that it comes from the depths of the world of ruins. The second is that it comes from the distortion of human souls after death. The third is that it comes from the accumulation of negative emotions in humans. The fourth is unknown and is assumed to be created by some kind of terrifying thing."
Mo Xiaoxiao gave a very deep answer, saying: "The current performance of Xu does meet the above three characteristics. Most of the Xu we have seen have some human characteristics, and they can even disguise themselves as a certain person, just like the transformation of that person after death."
“So the current situation can be understood as follows: the ruins in this cave are still imitating the habits of their previous lives, but they don’t know that they have died and turned into ruins.”
Su Shuang looked displeased and snorted, "When they ate people, they should have realized what they were doing. Xu definitely couldn't have transformed after a person died."
Mo Xiaoxiao said calmly: "If you transform into Xu, some of your cognition will be distorted, just like when we eat, do you think it is a crime? When you eat pork and vegetables, do you think it is killing and committing a sin? Xu eating people is no different from us eating vegetables. Of course, we, the Xu Killers, may be very delicious beef to Xu."
At this point, she seemed to have an appetite and licked her lips: "I also want to eat roast beef when I get back."
When several people saw her appearance, they thought to themselves that this girl was indeed abnormal. She had time to think about what to eat when she went back home while she was killing people in the ruins.
Zhou Ye stared at the cave in front of him for a while and said, " Okay, everyone cheer up, Han Yu is still waiting for our reinforcements."
"We've been chatting here for so long, they are probably dead now." Cao Fei couldn't help but complain, but his words showed his dissatisfaction with Xu Shen and Mo Xiaoxiao.
"Before going in, shouldn't we deal with the ruins at the entrance of the cave first?" Mo Xiaoxiao asked.
Xu Shen's heart skipped a beat, but there was only Maeve standing at the entrance of the cave.
Maeve was still smiling, seemingly unaffected by these words.
Zhou Ye and the others' expressions changed. Su Shuang stared at the cave entrance, but found that she didn't sense any ruins. She turned to look at Mo Xiaoxiao: "Are you kidding or serious?"
"Of course I'm serious." Mo Xiaoxiao said firmly.
Xu Shen was speechless, she was sick again.
Seeing how nervous Captain Zhou and the others were, he didn't know how to remind them. At this moment, he finally understood why the Zhanxu team in the inner city had kicked her out.
Are you kidding? Reporting false information during the Zhanxu operation is like telling a ghost story from hell.
Zhou Ye's face changed, but he finally decided that it was better to believe it than not. He gathered all his strength and said to Mo Xiaoxiao, "Which direction?"
"Above the cave." Mo Xiaoxiao said seriously.
Zhou Ye's figure rushed out with a whoosh, and slashed in an instant, with the sword blade cutting on the rock at the entrance of the cave. Under the surging force, a groove was split, and a large amount of dust fell.
But it was obvious that he didn't hit the ruins, or rather, there was no ruins here at all.
Zhou Ye immediately understood and looked at Mo Xiaoxiao with some annoyance.
"The ruins were chopped into pieces." Mo Xiaoxiao said.
Rage surged in Zhou Ye's chest, but he eventually suppressed it. After all, his superiors had informed him when he was assigned the task that the other party had some mental problems.
There's no point getting angry at a psychopath.
"Let's go!" Zhou Ye said, suppressing his anger.
Su Shuang and Cao Fei were both speechless. They rolled their eyes at Mo Xiaoxiao and followed Captain Zhou in.
Xu Shen and Mo Xiaoxiao quickly followed.
Not long after going deeper, Mo Xiaoxiao reminded again: "There is a ruin on the left."
Several people's hearts skipped a beat, but then they were filled with nameless anger. Zhou Ye looked at Su Shuang and asked, "Is that so?"
Su Shuang stared at it for a few seconds and shook her head slightly: "I didn't sense it."
"good."
Zhou Ye walked straight forward. He decided to carry out the mission in the same way as before and just treat Su Shuang as the only eyes. As for Mo Xiaoxiao, no matter how strong her fighting power was, what she said would be regarded as fart.
"Not solved?" Mo Xiaoxiao asked doubtfully.
Xu Shen saw that the place was empty, and also saw the suppressed anger of Captain Zhou and the others towards Mo Xiaoxiao, so he immediately leaned over and whispered, "The captain and the others will handle it. We just need to help the captain and the others deal with those who attack us."
“But we clearly saw …”
"Then just pretend you didn't see it."
"What if they attack us?"
"It's okay, the captain and the others reacted quickly."
"Uh, is that so?" Mo Xiaoxiao expressed doubt.
Xu Shen almost choked.
As they went deeper, the light in the cave became dimmer and dimmer. Several people took out flashlights to shine, and the light was also dim in the ruins, but the strong light from several flashlights gathered together could still illuminate the cave.
They walked forward carefully for seven or eight minutes. The cave was extremely deep, but they did not encounter any ruins. They were just frightened by Mo Xiaoxiao on the way.
Soon, everyone saw the end of the cave.
Xu Shen's nose twitched slightly, and he smelled a familiar and friendly scent.
"What a strong stench, like fermenting fish intestines and rotten meat!" Su Shuang couldn't help but cover her nose. Even though she had experienced many Zhanxu incidents, she was irritated by the smell and almost vomited, and her stomach churned.
Perhaps because of the poor ventilation in the cave, the smell became extremely pungent.
"Is that Captain Zhou Ye? Come and help!"
Han Yu's panicked cry was heard from the cave.
Zhou Ye's face turned grim, and he immediately said, "Hurry up!"
Several people rushed over quickly and came to the end of the cave. They shone their flashlights and in the dark cave, a scene like hell appeared. After seeing it clearly, they all widened their eyes with horror.
