Chapter 174: Desolate Town
"Hello player, there is a deserted town ahead."
"Is anyone there?" Xu Ning asked the treasure chest.
The journey ahead was not peaceful. Xu Ning's team encountered a group of refugees who were planning to rob things, but they were finally frightened by the crossbows that Xu Ning had exchanged.
"No, this town has been plundered by refugees, and only dilapidated houses are left."
"Sister Pei, go ahead, there is a deserted town, let's stay there tonight."
"Ningning, did you see it with your telescope?" Xu Ning often took out her telescope to look around, and Pei Jiao also knew that this thing existed.
"Yes! There's no one inside."
"Okay!" Pei Jiao quickly gave the order, and after less than half an hour, the convoy arrived at the entrance of the town.
The town is not very big, and you can still see the old buildings at a glance, but now there are cobwebs everywhere and there are no signs of human life.
"Bao, why does this place feel so spooky?"
"Hello player, a lot of people died here a few months ago."
“So this is a ghost town?”
"It's not a ghost town. It's just that no one has lived here for a long time and it's desolate."
"Why am I so unconvinced?" Xu Ning didn't want to change direction again, after all, it was almost dark.
"Sister Pei, let's just go through here and see if there is a place to stop and rest." As for the town, she didn't dare to live there.
"Okay!" Pei Jiao also thought that it would be difficult for the carriage to get out of the town. If something unexpected happened, it might be attacked from both ends, so it would be best to go straight through.
However, not long after Xu Ning and his companions entered the town, the clouds in the sky began to turn red, as red as if they were splashed with a layer of red paint.
Inexplicably weird.
The town was quiet. Spiders were falling down and climbing up the dilapidated roofs. Occasionally, there was the sound of wind blowing the wooden boards against the windows.
The sound of the carriage wheels became the loudest sound. Xu Ning swallowed inadvertently, and Xu Feng beside him could hear it clearly.
"Second sister, are you nervous?"
Xu Feng looked up at Xu Ning curiously. Xu Ning's eyes were scattered, and he looked at Xu Feng with a look of despair. "No, I was just daydreaming. I remembered something delicious and I'm hungry."
"Second sister, please eat something." Xu Ning had a lot of food on him, which he could exchange at any time. However, at this moment, Xu Ning, who was so nervous, had no appetite at all.
"I don't want to eat. I'll take a nap. Tell me when we get there." Xu Ning pretended to be taking a rest, leaning against the carriage and closing his eyes.
But even with her eyes closed, her eyeballs were still trembling.
That feeling came again! And it was even stronger than the last time in the ruined temple!
"Bao, tell me! Is there anything in this town? Did you arrange for me to come here on purpose?" Xu Ning suddenly reacted and felt that he could not rely solely on it to see the road in the future!
"Hello, player. This route is set by the main system. You have not deviated from the plot."
"What's the plot?" Xu Ning was confused. She thought she was the protagonist? But she turned out to be an NPC as well?
"Hello, player, you will know what will happen next." The treasure chest refused to reveal itself no matter how Xu Ning asked. It was useless for Xu Ning to be anxious.
Xu Ning took a deep breath. She stopped asking about the treasure chest and listened quietly to the sound of the carriage, calculating how long it would take to get out of the town.
As a result, half an hour later, the carriage was still on this straight street.
Pei Jiao and the others were also confused, thinking they had encountered a ghost wall, because there were straight streets in front and behind the carriage, but no matter how they turned, they could not get out!
