《fall into darkness》Chapter 43: Monsters

"Did anyone live here before?" Mei, Zha, Sha and the others looked at the broken walls on both sides of the street covered with vegetation, and they were a little surprised. From the traces of these broken walls, they could still see what used to be residential buildings, but the architectural styles were very different.
"Of course." Scott looked up at the surrounding ruins and said, "This used to be the place where our ancestors lived, but it was invaded by disasters and is now desolate. However, there are still things that our ancestors used to live here, Our role is to bring these things back to the consortium."
"Where the ancestors lived..." Hearing Scott's words, Macon and the others were a little surprised and excited, and looked at everything around them curiously.
Du Dian saw a map of the parchment scroll in Scott's hand, and turned his head to look around the space between his arms. He saw a crooked route on the map. In the center, there was a huge square pattern. , with the words "Sylvia Giant Wall" written. Outside this giant wall, there are irregular circles outlined by curved lines, marked with numbers.
"No. 0, No. 1..." Du Di'an glanced at it and found that these numbers were repeated. There were six or seven in the "Zero Zone" alone. However, these signs and circles were outlined in different colors, like a rainbow. Generally gorgeous.
Scott saw Du Dian observing the map and smiled: "This is the scavenger map outside the giant wall. After the hunters of each consortium sweep out the area, they will mark and divide the site, like the area of our Mellon consortium, All are marked with red lines and handwriting, and the other green and yellow ones belong to other consortiums, and there are records on the back of the map, green represents the military department, and yellow is the Huasheng consortium."
Du Di'an nodded slightly. When he saw these circles with different colors, he had already guessed this and asked, "What is the gray area outside?"

"This is a place that the hunters have not yet swept out." Scott smiled slightly and said seriously: "You must not step into these gray areas, where it is extremely dangerous, even the hunters may die."
"Dangerous?" Du Dian was a little curious and said, "What is the danger?"
"Monster!" Scott said softly.
Du Di's head jumped, monster?
At this time, Scott passed a corner, and there was a traffic light collapsed on the street here, but it was already covered with vegetation and entangled with many vines, so it was not collected by the scavengers.
"Area 8 is in front." Scott looked at the street in front of the corner. It was still in ruins, but because it was close to the center of the city, there was less vegetation, a lot of ruins, and collapsed houses, all of which were exposed and desolate. The damage caused by the aftermath of the earthquake can be seen everywhere on the streets of the city, the streets are cracked, and there are many deep pit-like marks on the ground.
"Everyone, be careful." Scott's expression became solemn, he pulled out the dagger from his waist, and said, "The eighth area is the area that the Hunter adults just cleaned up, we are the second group to enter here, although the harvest will be It is very rich, but it is also likely to encounter some residual small monsters, don't be attacked by them, or you will be infected by magic."
The newcomers such as Du Dian and Macon couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Following Scott, they took out their weapons, held them tightly in their hands, and glanced vigilantly at the surrounding environment and the fluffy vegetation near the street.
When he followed Scott into the center of the street, Du Di'an saw a new wooden road sign inserted on the side of the road, with a blood-red "No. 8" written on it, representing the No. 8 area under the Mellon consortium ahead.

At a glance, Du Di'an saw that the street in front was obviously not cleaned, and he could vaguely see a bunch of green vegetation. From the outline, most of the cars were scrapped under the vegetation. His heart skipped a beat, if there was a car , Naturally there are also generators. Although more than 300 years have passed, these things have long been reduced to scrap iron under the scorching rain and ultraviolet rays, but some well-preserved parts may be found!
Scott whispered: "Under these green vegetation, there are some large supplies. When we return, we will find a way to bring them back. First, we will find a settlement to live in and use it as the base camp for these ten days, and then separately search for supplies. "Speaking, passing by these scrapped cars covered in green vegetation.
Du Dian and the others and the twenty consortium scavengers followed closely. When everyone walked away, no one noticed that a pale and dry hand was stretched out of the window of one of the cars covered with thick vegetation. , struggling, grabbing everyone who has gone away!
...
...
At the end of the street, here is a crossroads, with collapsed street lamps and huge billboards on the ground, but it is already covered with vegetation. Scott looked up, picked a slightly complete three-story building, and said, "Let's go here, first clean up the materials inside and gather them." After speaking, he led the team to walk towards the three-story building first. .
"Ah!" In vain, an exclamation sounded, it was a girl behind Du Di'an's team, she pointed to the ground at the door of the building in horror, and trembled: "Blood, blood!"
Everyone saw that there was a pool of blood on the ground. Although it had dried up, from the color point of view, it was obviously newly left behind. After all, it was difficult to keep the blood on the ground for too long under the washing of the disaster rain.
Du Dian's face changed slightly, thinking of the monster Scott said earlier, and subconsciously grabbed the black gunpowder attached to his waist.
The other children became nervous when they saw the blood on the ground.
Scott frowned and said: "What's the fuss about, I said, there are monsters in these places, this is obviously the blood left by the hunter when he killed the monsters, don't be surprised again, rookie!" For other rookie scavengers, his patience is obviously not as high as for Du Di'an.
Mia next to him stepped forward and pushed open the door of the building. The door was made of glass, but the glass had already been broken. It seemed to be a shop. Layout and a few counters like something.
Du Dian followed Scott and entered, only to see thick dust accumulated on the floor and walls of this dilapidated shop. After a long period of accumulation, the dust has long been as dry and hard as a layer of soil.
Scott used the handle of the dagger to poke away the vegetation on the counter, only to see some dusty gold jewelry in the glass cabinet inside. Scott's eyes lit up, and he immediately smashed the glass with the hilt of the sword. , picked up the jewelry inside, wiped off the dust on it with his clothes, revealing the golden luster, he bit it with his teeth, and his face showed surprise again.
Du Di'an watched silently, knowing that these jewelry were picked up by him, and most of them would get a very generous extra commission. After all, these gold jewelry are the favorite of the nobles.
