Chapter 197 Invitation
Going down is certain, no matter whether the visitors are friends or foes, the space inside the building is enough for them to circle around for a while, but it is hard to say that they are blocked in the lighthouse, after all, there is only one stone staircase leading here.
Controlling the ladder, they became caged animals, lambs to be slaughtered.
Chen Ran's presumptuous gaze sized up several people, and an imperceptible smile floated on his lips.
"We'll stay," Su Xiaoxiao said bluntly.
When she said us, she meant her and her younger brother Su An.She knew very well that according to her brother's current physical condition, she couldn't stand the trouble anymore, and besides, no one was sure what would happen after he went down.
After Su Xiaoxiao voluntarily agreed to stay, Liang Long's eyes lit up a little.
According to the people in Blackstone Town, the reason why this place became like this is because of a curse, and the way to break the curse is to ensure that the flame of the lighthouse keeps burning.
Under the premise that it is not clear whether the people in Blackstone Town are lying, everyone still chooses to believe it for the time being, so they need to leave someone to guard the flame.
This is very important.
After helping Su Xiaoxiao move Su An to the corner, Chen Ran stepped out of the room first, followed by Jiang Cheng and Fatty, and Liang Long was the last to get up.
After she glanced at the old woman in the basket, she ran away inflexibly.
When she was alone in the room, although the old woman didn't do anything to herself, but she was just scared, she didn't see anything, she didn't hear anything.
Fear without reason.
If it had to be made clear, she swallowed subconsciously as she was walking down the stairs. It was based on intuition. She thought about it, and couldn't help speeding up her pace.
When they reached the empty space on the first floor of the building, the group of people holding torches also arrived, and the two groups of people looked at each other through the window.
The other party took the lead or the blond man.
But this time, there are many more people from Heishi Town than last time, probably dozens of people.
Under the light of the torches, they gathered together, and there was a faint cold glow on their shoulders and the weapons like harpoons stuck in the leather pockets on their backs.
An ominous premonition appeared in Liang Long's heart.
The blond man's eyes lingered among the few people for a while, then he sighed and said, "It seems that you have also encountered some problems and lost people."
"Yes," Chen Ran nodded.
The fat man didn't dare to get too close to the window, so he could only glance at the sea through the gap. The city on the sea was brightly lit, but it was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, giving people an unreal illusion.
He opened his mouth and asked in a cowardly tone, "What's the matter with that black fog? Why is the night here black and foggy?"
Before he finished speaking, the blond man looked at him, and then said: "This is not a place to talk, please follow me to Heishi Town."
"We haven't been in contact with people outside for a long time," the blond man smiled bitterly: "People in the town will be very happy to see you."
Chen Ran squinted, looked at the blond man, nodded after a while, "Okay."
The fat man couldn't help being stunned.
Can such a request be granted? !
They clearly haven't figured out the details of the people in Heishi Town, so aren't they afraid it's a trap?
Liang Long was also thinking similarly to him. After what happened before, she is not as good as a fat man now. Perhaps in her impression, Chen Ran still has the intention of using her to experiment.
Both of them pinned their last hopes on Jiang Cheng, but what they didn't expect was that...
"Then excuse me," Jiang Cheng looked at the blond man and nodded.
Until they were on the way to Blackstone Town, the fat man's head was still buzzing. He couldn't understand how the doctor would agree to such a request.
Did he find something?
Liang Long didn't follow, she refused very firmly, saying that she would stay and wait for them to come back, in the pretense of looking for clues.
Fatty actually thought so too, but he was worried about the doctor, so he had no choice but to agree.
On the way to Heishi Town, Fatty had a deeper understanding of the weirdness of this world. There were waves of spray on their sides, but there was a pure black road under their feet.
About 3 or 4 meters wide, leading to the sea city in a winding way.
It turned out that what they saw from the square window of the lighthouse was not the townspeople of Heishi Town walking on the sea, but this weird road.
Stepping on it, there was an illusion that it would sink in the next second, but it didn't turn out. The fat man lowered his head and observed as he walked, and found that this black road seemed to have a root connection with the overwhelming black fog .
"Doctor," the fat man took advantage of the surprise, and leaned over to the doctor, complaining in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "What on earth are you thinking? How could you agree to come here with them?"
"Here." He looked left and right, and his throat rolled violently. "It doesn't look right here. I suspect that this kid Chen Ran colluded with the people in Heishi Town to deliberately trick us."
Jiang Cheng squinted his eyes and seemed to be looking around. He didn't notice the fat man, but his voice came over, "Don't you think it's strange?" Jiang Cheng asked, "It's such a big island that you can't find any food or water. ?”
Fatty had thought about this question before, but he didn't come up with anything.
It stands to reason that there are seas and forests, so they shouldn't be reduced to starvation and thirst.
But this world just did it.
Thinking of this, Fatty's pupils shrank slightly, "Doctor, you mean that coming here is one of the basic settings of this mission, that is to say, it is a necessary part."
After a pause, he continued: "The purpose of restricting our food and water supply is to force us to come to Heishi Town. There are important clues here!"
Jiang Cheng nodded, and his tone became more cautious, "We have survived for more than a day, I don't know how much longer we can survive, but rather than perishing until we can't stand it again, it is better to come here while we still have the strength have a look."
"And" Jiang Cheng suddenly lowered his voice, glanced around, and found that no one was paying attention, so he continued: "Do you think that if we don't come today, these people will let it go?"
The fat man opened his eyes wide.
"Look at their numbers and the weapons they carry," Jiang Cheng said, "Does it look like they have come to invite us to be guests peacefully?"
The people who came were all strong men, there were few clothes made of fabrics, most of them were leather clothes, and judging by the texture, they were not the ones they had seen every day.
The muscles exposed outside the leather jacket are full of rock-like rough lines, and they contain strength when they look at them. Coupled with their average height of nearly 2 meters
The fat man swallowed guiltily.
This is where the host who came to invite as a guest is clearly the bandit gang who came down the mountain to rob, and it is also the group with explosive fighting power.
"Here we are," the blond man suddenly stood still, and the city in front of him was immersed in flames.
