Chapter 1471: In the mist (2/2)
The two operators could only close the useless breeze shield and proceed cautiously towards the street.
During this whole process, Ye Xiao had been holding his breath subconsciously. The ubiquitous gray and white fog was extremely disturbing. He didn't even dare to inhale it at will until he walked a distance outward and confirmed that his body was not. Affected by erosion, and the protective equipment such as amulets on his body did not warn him, he slowly began to breathe under great restraint, and adjusted his heartbeat and breathing rate little by little.
"Breathing is normal... the skin doesn't feel the slightest moisture." The bee looked down at her hands and watched the mist flow from her fingers. Her mouth and nose felt the most ordinary air, even if she was breathing heavily. There is no feeling of inhaling thick fog, "These fog... there is no'feel' at all."
It’s impossible for such a dense fog to not bring “feeling”. Although it is an intangible thing, breathing and walking in the dense fog will inevitably be different in the daytime. Whether it is water vapor or particles in the fog, it will be different. It irritates people's nasal cavity-but these "feelings" that should have existed did not appear, which brought a great sense of contradiction to the sparrow bee and the night owl.
It's as if this thick fog only appeared in their "vision", it was a pure illusion.
But they don’t dare to really regard this thick fog as an illusion that can only affect the vision. Big source of crisis.
What's more, the vision here is not just a thick fog, there are also passers-by who suddenly disappeared, empty streets, and a whole silent empty city!
"That was indeed the store manager's handwriting just now," Ye Xiao said in a low voice while examining the situation on the street, "but how could the store manager's words suddenly appear on the window glass?"
Sparrowbee did not answer immediately. She just turned her head subconsciously and looked in the direction where she came, but saw that the glass surface of the shop window had been restored to its smoothness, and the letters clearly engraved on it had been erased for some time. .
"...I don't know, but he must want us to avoid some kind of fatal danger," Sparrow was uneasy for some reason, and she could only suppress this anxiety while whispering, "Now we should find a way. Out of town-the road to the pier is in this direction."
She stepped towards the southwest city gate in her memory, but just two steps out, she felt an invisible air flow suddenly blowing towards her face. The air flow was not strong, but it seemed unusually sudden, as if it was blocking. As she continued to move forward, Ye Xiao's footsteps stopped shortly after—he seemed to feel the same thing.
"The store manager?" Ye Xiao frowned slightly, and whispered from the empty street to the squad leader who went to investigate the unreturned information. In the more than one year or two years of activities here, he and Sparrow have become accustomed to using it. "The manager" came to call the superior, "Is you here? Are you in trouble?"
As a senior cadre who has dealt with many troublesome events and accidentally dealt with other extraordinary visions, he has guessed something from these subtle clues.
He guessed that the "shop manager" might be trapped by extraordinary visions.
"What can we do for you?" The sparrow bee next to him also said.
The empty streets were silent, and there was no figure other than the two of them in the undulating fog, but suddenly, the bee saw that a small, pale light suddenly appeared on a lamppost closest to them. Notch.
Those nicks extended and connected, and gradually formed a line of letters: "I am safe now, but I can't meet with you. You have priority to complete the task."
Immediately after this line of letters, a new nick emerged: "Don't go to the port. The port has disappeared. It is safe to leave the city from the southeast and reach the coast."
The bee looked at the letters appearing on the lamppost with some amazement: "The port has disappeared? What does this mean?"
The letters on the lamppost did not answer her question. Instead, several very deep and sharp nicks appeared suddenly. These nicks seemed to remind them to get nervous, and then there was a line that was obviously very hurried. Handwriting: "No time, leave here as soon as possible, pay attention to the handwriting on the lampposts along the way!"
Sparrow's heart tightened, and she subconsciously looked around.
She didn't see any enemies, she didn't see any abnormalities.
But she still walked away immediately, heading towards the southeast city area, and Ye Xiao followed her closely.
Something dangerous is approaching them. The letters on the lamppost obviously mean this, but they cannot see, hear or perceive what the dangerous thing is, but even so, they choose to believe and obey The superior order in this case.
This is what Chief Amber taught them in the first training session.
In the quiet and empty city, the sparrow bee and the night owl swiftly cross the street and cross the intersection. The places where the usual traffic and people are now all empty, as if they have become weird and detailed hollow scenes, and the styles are somber The house, a dark wall even gave the bird bee an illusion, making her feel that those things seemed to be just some empty shells, under the exquisite and real appearance, they were actually just painted cardboard, which would fall when the wind blows. Down, revealing the barren truth below.
"Manager," Ye Xiao's voice came from the side, "What is going on here? What are we hiding from?"
"The city is disappearing in dense fog," a nick appeared on a nearby lamppost quickly, "The Beicheng District has disappeared a few hours ago..."
Sparrowbee and Yexiao quickly passed by the lamppost. On the surface of the next lamppost, they saw the nick of the second half of the sentence:
"... Avoid the messenger."
