Chapter 59 (1/2)

The man, who led the way, was called Wan GuRong. He told Chu Yunsheng that he used to be an urban management officer, so no one knew this area better than him.

However, he was still trapped inside the city by the green fog with red-sh.e.l.led insects, before he even had a chance to escape.

He also reminded Chu Yunsheng not to run around in the fog. Otherwise, he would easily get lost.

Wan Gurong soon brought Chu Yunsheng and Yao Xiang to a building that used to be a Chinese telecommunication business building.

The road sign outside the building had the words ‘Wan Shou road’ on it. At the end of the road, there was a fog wall that was thicker than the other fog that existed in this city. It was so thick that they couldn’t see what was behind the fog wall.

When Chu Yunsheng and Yao Xiang secretly followed Commander Du’s group, they had seen the similar wall before. Almost every time when they went through this kind of fog wall, they would lose Commander Du’s troop. He would always need to spend a very long time to find the marks that Ding Yan had left behind in order to catch up with them again.

Wan Gurong said sternly, “be careful, stay close, and follow me.” Then he took the lead and walked into the fog wall.

Chu Yunsheng and Yao Xiang quickly followed closely behind.

When all of them crossed the fog wall, they arrived at a square. There was an old dried water fountain in the middle of the square that looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, and behind the square, there was a mall.

There was a road sign that had already fallen on the ground next to them, it was written Ren Min road on it.

They were on Wan Shou road earlier, how did it suddenly change to Ren Min road? Chu Yunsheng was puzzled. Then he heard Yao Xiang suddenly say, “brother Chu, I get it now!”

Chu Yunsheng was curious, “get what?”

Yao Xiang held a map, quickly approached Chu Yunsheng, and used a pen to circle Wan Shou road on the map, and then Ren Min road, which was far away from the central city. He then drew a line to link two circles together.

Looking at Chu Yunsheng, he said in shock, “look, through this fog wall, we have traveled several miles! No wonder last time we crossed the fog wall in the park, the industrial and commercial bank suddenly appeared in front of us! I was baffled for a very long time, but then I completely forgot about it when we found the troop again.”

Chu Yunsheng took over the map and took a close look at the circles and the line that Yao Xiang had drawn, he was also shocked, ‘so that’s why we lost the trace of the troop every time when they crossed the fog wall.’

Then he heard Wan Gurong say quietly, “lower your voice, you will know it in the next few days. Now, this city has been split into nine sections, no one is able to walk out those nine sections!”

Chu Yunsheng was dazed for a second, then he pointed at the fog wall behind him, “nine section? They are all separated by this kind of fog wall?”

Wan Gurong nodded his head. He then took the pen from Yao Xiang, and drew another straight line, which is perpendicular to the line Yao Xiang had drawn, “as far as I know, there are nine sections, I don’t know if there are more.” He then pointed the pen at the line he had drawn and carried on, “we came from this place, now we are at this square. But if we are going to go through the same fog wall again, we will be sent here, not here! ”

Then he drew another circle on the map and pointed it, “this is it. We need to go through this fog section, then we will need to go through the fog wall over here, and we will need to immediately go back through the same fog wall again. Only after that, we will arrive at the place we need to go.” Wan Gurong drew another small circle very hard on the map and said.

Chu Yunsheng was already lost. He was very confused while looking at those circles. ‘what the h.e.l.l are those things?’

Yao Xiang suddenly interrupted, “how do you know so much?”

Wan Gurong smiled, “the fog has existed in Kun city for quite a while now! Because we need to search for food all the time, so we went to all the streets we could go to, also because I used to be an urban management officer, so I have a good sense of direction. I have noted down all the routes I traveled, but this thing is too complicated, and I am just an urban management officer. I didn’t receive a higher education, so I don’t understand the rules and patterns of the fog walls.”
