Chapter 857 Augur (2/2)
”The officers from the Union Government said that the two augurs attempted to check who did it. However, they didn't manage to do so. Both of them saw a scene where meteorites struck the ground,” Tang Ning shared what he heard.
”Meteorite showers?” Other than Lin Huang, the rest of them were confused.
”Meteorite showers… Is there any chance that this is a prediction?” Tan Lang said while stroking his chin.
”I've really seen meteorites streaking across the sky a few days ago,” Shen Tao suddenly said, ”Right before the sky turns dark.”
”Are you sure?” Tan Lang immediately asked.
”I guess my eyes didn't fail me. Did anyone of you happen to see that?'
The crowd shook their heads, including Lin Huang.
”It's on the east of the city. The meteorites struck somewhere less than 300 kilometers away from the city.” Shen Tao could remember it clearly.
”Bring me there,” Tan Lang immediately requested. It seemed like he would only feel relieved after seeing the dead bodies of the Charm members. ”Li Jia, follow me. Let's see if we can find any clues over there.”
Tan Lang asked two other people to follow after him and they headed towards the east of the city.
Since the three of them had left, Lin Huang was not worried. He was pretty sure that they would be unable to discover anything there.
”Did you manage to find it?” Lin Huang, who was lying on a deck chair under the sun, gradually opened his eyes to look at Tan Lang.
”We found a meteorite crater, but there's nothing there.”
Lin Huang frowned without saying anything. He took his hat off to cover his face and continued sleeping.
”Since the augurs have already come out with the prediction results, I guess we don't need to be really particular about what has actually happened,” Li Jia advised.
”Yes, that's right. Instead of wasting time investigating this issue, why not let everything work as usual? Our main purpose of entering the ruins is to get more resources,” Shen Tao suggested.
”Let it be.” Still, Tan Lang did not reveal what he was worried about as he shook his head. ”Let everything end here and have a good rest. We'll leave Gushan City early tomorrow morning and head towards Enlightenment City!”
”Are you going to leave Gushan City?” Li Jia asked.
”We've hunted most of the monsters at Gushan City within 3,000 kilometers. It's time to go to the next station.” Tan Lang nodded. He had prepared for this earlier. His initial plan was to overcome the danger before leaving. However, since Charm had been wiped out, there was no need for them to stay there any longer.
Gushan City seemed peaceful that day. However, there were many rumors going around. The news regarding the extermination of Charm soon spread to most of the organizations.
”Exterminated? n.o.body managed to survive and not even a single dead body can be discovered?!”
”Do you think that the Union Government did this?!”
”I guess the Heaven Alliance is incapable of doing so since there're only 10 of them. It's less likely that they can wipe Charm out without injuries.”
”Although Tan Lang from the Heaven Alliance is strong, Ye Ye from Charm is not that much weaker than him. He's incapable of defeating Charm on his own. Unless Chan Dou was the one who did that, he could've also probably done so.”
”Could it have been the human immortals?”
There were all kinds of speculations regarding the extermination of Charm.
The underworld organizations kept a low profile after receiving this news as what Charm encountered was really weird.
Most of the Union Government were thrilled upon receiving this news. A minority of them was worried about it. If it was an unknown who had done this, the level of threat in this world would be beyond their expectations.
The people from the Heaven Alliance did not ask about it any further. The next morning, Tan Lang and the rest left towards the second government residence.
