Chapter 375 The way forward
Desolate, dilapidated and tattered.
In the familiar scene, there was a familiar atmosphere, which made up everything before their eyes. This was one of the reasons why no matter how far they went, they seemed to be standing still.
After the troops were divided into two groups, no, to be precise, two teams were divided out in addition to the defense camp. Song Yi accepted the random assignment and according to the needs of the two adults, he followed the eastward-bound team.
This road was also the way they came here. Song Yi had walked this road once before. He was with Zhigui and the others. After leaving the town, they fought their way out of the encirclement of monsters and arrived at the village.
Thinking about it this way, since the banquet, all he experienced every day was fighting and killing. Song Yi could hardly remember that he used to complain about "not wanting to play combat dungeons".
After all, now that he thought about it, he wanted to curse Noah's Ark. Although it was not a problem and it was something that came to his mind, he was busy with work now.
Not only was he busy, everyone was busy. Before setting off, they only had a brief conversation while they were in the stage of getting to know each other.
As for the rest of the information, we talked about it on the way for the next action.
They had no navigation and no map. Soon after they left the camp, they got closer to the core of Purgatory, the pollution became more serious and the sky became chaotic.
As everyone walked forward, time passed quickly. The sky was dark red at first, and then gradually turned to black.
Song Yi roughly guessed that it was not running "day and night" now, but perhaps transitioning between night and bright red.
He had no experience, and before he could raise this point, someone else spoke up first. He not only heard the question, but also heard the answer from someone else's mouth.
Black is better than red. The closer the color of the sky is to red, the stronger the improvement on monsters.
If this is true, then the current time should be their most relaxing moment. Everyone refers to their memory and walks the same way they came, still walking and groping their way forward.
However, the further they walked, the lower the visibility became. There were rotting corpses all around, and the stench was everywhere, coupled with collapsed buildings, which fit the description of a ghost den.
In this situation, just identifying the road was already difficult. As the night grew darker and the fog slowly rose, it became even more difficult for them to determine the direction.
The group of people were trapped in the trap without realizing it. They didn't know how to go forward, and when they looked back, they could not find any trace of the way they came.
This was the first difficulty they had encountered since they set out. Everyone wanted to discuss and choose the direction to move forward, but as the sky changed, they did not dare to stop.
Just slow down, talk while walking, and after a brief communication, choose the direction to move forward based on everyone's judgment and the majority rule.
Song Yi is in the majority, and perhaps the reason why they can lead in votes is also related to "Yan Changyue's Stardust". He can borrow a little bit of that top mental power, so the choices he makes will not be wrong.
He originally wanted to explain, but with everyone's trust, he swallowed the words as soon as he opened his mouth.
After all, the night was getting darker and it was not suitable for them to stay. They were also in danger. No matter which direction they went, it would be a gamble.
Song Yi took a deep breath, his nerves becoming increasingly tense. He himself was not afraid of life or death, but these people were risking their lives as well. Even if he felt that everything was fine, he could no longer make a choice easily.
Fortunately, he was lucky, or maybe there really was something called "mental power". The group walked for another five minutes and came across a large area of ruins. Judging from the area of the buildings, it should be the previous town.
This was their original goal. After walking for several hours, they finally found this place. Everyone was relieved. Someone started to speak:
"The road ahead will be easier."
As soon as I said this, there were murmurs in response, and it was obvious that everyone felt the same way.
From here, heading east, Song Yi and other Stardust were driven by Yan Changyue like ducks, controlling their speed as they fought and retreated.
The speed was slow at that time. In that memory, the road they walked on, although it had a slope, was extremely flat.
Although he was happy for a moment, Song Yi knew clearly that it was only what happened in the past. Now he was in purgatory and no one could guarantee what would happen or not happen.
This place has become a ruin, and that section of road may not be spared either. He was not the only one who thought of this. No one who could be photographed was stupid, and everyone else knew it too.
But no one brought it up. After a brief laugh, everyone walked into the ruins in silence.
Almost at the same time, a roar was heard, and along with it, a monster jumped out. Everyone had expected this situation, but compared to this, getting lost in purgatory was a more terrifying thing.
They have been to the town, and no matter how dilapidated the place is, they will leave traces. They know the danger, but they will still come in and search.
What's more, we were prepared and responded calmly, so no one panicked.
Even if they were not familiar with each other before, or even didn't know each other before, they have all gone through battles, especially Zhigui's side, and have been working together all the way. Now they are getting along with their new teammates and progressing smoothly.
During the battle, they slowly went deeper into the town, pausing twice for a few urgent exchanges. After confirming that "nothing was found", they continued to move forward in search of clues.
So, based on this, it didn't take long for the situation to change.
The bad news was that behind them, the dead monsters stood up, the sticky ground rolled, and more monsters crawled out from the broken bones and the soil.
They were surrounded.
The good news is that during their cooperation, because they have the same goal and their lives are at stake, their tacit understanding increases rapidly, and they are able to cope with more difficult challenges without falling behind.
But the situation was too bad to be solved by tacit understanding. Gradually, they were surrounded. If they could not escape quickly, they would still face the possibility of being encircled and suppressed.
In silence, they became anxious. All of them were Stardust this time, gradually transforming into beasts. For a moment, tails of various colors were waving in the air.
Fortunately, there was a short period of adjustment during this period, and the transformation into beasts was not sudden. Otherwise, if this move had been used at the beginning, there would have been no need for monsters, and they would have hit each other's tails first.
Seeing this, Song Yi breathed a sigh of relief. After learning about mental power, his control over beast transformation deepened, and he could choose where to focus and where to focus less.
It's not that his claws can't hold the gun, nor does he have to fight barefoot after his shoes are scrapped, but... he is not a Fury control, and he has never studied tails.
In the collective animalization, with the fluttering tail and shaking ear feathers, Song Yi had ears on his head but no tail behind him.
Let his teammates pay attention to the distance during every action, for fear that he might suddenly get carried away and swing his tail out, then hit them again.
Song Yi took a deep breath. In this situation, he found it even harder to speak than before. Half a minute later, he suddenly said:
"It's okay, just fight normally, don't be afraid, I can't transform into a beast, I don't have a tail."
Saying this was tantamount to admitting one's shortcomings in public. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, then took a deep breath as if in shock.
The other half did not make any sound and was temporarily suppressed out of consideration for his teammates' face. Because of this, Song Yi's mood became even more subtle.
