Chapter 385
Originally, Huang city had another name. However, because it had been a long time, its original name was gradually forgotten by many people. Because of its desolateness and its emptiness, it was once called the city of barren land in history.
What originally the busy night streets that filled with the scenes of debauchery, feasting, and revelry, no longer existed. It was replaced by the rows of towering building remnants that were covered with thick ice and snow, leaving traces of the existence of the modern civilization.
The roads that paved with cement were littered with boulders and pitted with holes, some of them were destroyed by insects, others were caused by artillery strikes. In the street that was full of broken glass pieces, many “foot baths” and “massages” shop signs had fallen on the ground.
The human bodies could be seen everywhere, just like the abandoned cars on the roadside. No one knew how they died, nor did anyone know whether they were prominent officials or migrant workers. But all their treatments were the same, which was lying dead on the street.
Because of the cold weather, most of the bodies were frozen into ice sculpture before they began to rot. Although there was not much smell of carrion, with so many naked human bodies frozen together, it would still be able to scare people easily.
Especially in the night after the disappearance of the hazy shimmer. When walking on the streets that were filled with naked bodies, the eyes of the frozen bodies with various shapes and expressions would reflect creepy lustres in fire torches. People would not be able to control themselves but think that those bodies were staring at them coldly.
According to the survivors that fled from this city to Zhiwu forest. Huang city was not actually a ghost city. In some dark corners and underground car parks lived a group of cannibals.
They fed on live people. Only when they had no choice, they would break the ice and eat the bodies that were frozen. In short, they would never let go of everything that was alive and could be eaten.
“Maybe. Maybe not.” Chu Yunsheng said.
…
When the shimmer appeared on the second day, Chu Yunsheng left silently while carrying a few mice that Old Sun caught for him. Old Sun was very grateful to Chu Yunsheng for recommending him as a Senior Supervisor of the masked men. As a small unit leader, he never once dared to imagine that one day he would become a Senior Supervisor.
With the help of Dark, Chu Yunsheng was able to find out the orientation of east, south, west, and north. Based on this information, and if he was not wrong, the location of the fourth map was in the Heavenly province, Shu Di province. It was a province that was famous for its military strategic location, economic growth, and cultural importance in China.
But what shocked Chu Yunsheng was not the location of the map, it was the map’s moving speed. In this kind of age, the map was still able to move a huge distance in a short amount of time!
There was only one possibility. It was that the map was on some kind of flying machine.
Chu Yunsheng did not know whether it was a human being or an alien that had the fourth map. In order to avoid the map from moving its location again and in order to save time, he ordered Dark to spread its wings and carry him while flying into the dark sky.
