Chapter 267
"Don't bother with those weird things. If there are still people alive, come out. If there are no people, you can do whatever you want."
Wu Wei didn't care where the intermittent voice came from.
After entering the city, he only saw the brilliance of civilization and didn't see the natives.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the brilliance of civilization appears, the natives of this world should be basically close to complete extinction even if they still exist.
After waiting for a long time, Wu Wei didn't get a response, and directly led a few people to the location where the brilliance of civilization was.
The scene he saw along the way gave Wu Wei only a feeling of dead silence and desolation.
He roughly estimated the scale of this small town. If it was crowded, the residents of this small town would be about 30,000 to 40,000.
Although Wu Wei didn't know where the sound in the small town came from, he thought it had something to do with the stone tower.
The closer they were to the stone tower, the more intermittent sounds they heard.
However, most of these sounds were just simple words that could not form a sentence, and it was difficult to get any effective information from them.
Wu Wei led everyone to the bottom of the stone tower, but found that there was no way to get up to the stone tower with a torch on the top that illuminated the whole city.
The bottom of the entire stone tower was completely closed.
But except for Dabao, everyone else could fly.
Wu Wei carried the shrunken Dabao and flew all the way to the top of the stone tower.
Ignoring the huge torch, Wu Wei directly touched the glittering civilization brilliance.
Some civilization brilliances are gift-giving, usually in the form of treasure chests.
There are also many civilization brilliances that are mission or dungeon types.
Basically, they are all to complete the obsessions or memories of some civilizations that have passed away.
After Wu Wei touched the civilization brilliance that was like a light curtain, an image that had been preserved for who knows how many years began to play again in front of his eyes.
......
"Have any of the Mist Walkers who went out to explore come back?"
An old voice with a hint of imperceptible despair.
At the top of the stone tower that had not yet been sealed, an old man with white hair and beard asked the middle-aged man in front of him.
"There is one, but, but he said..."
The middle-aged man obviously did not have the concentration of the old man, and his voice was trembling.
"What did you say? Calm down and talk carefully."
The old man's voice was steady and calm, and he clapped his hands hard. The sound of clapping his hands seemed to have magic, which made the middle-aged man who was about to collapse finally calm down slowly.
Emotions are contagious. When the middle-aged man first received the news sent back by the Mist Walker who was close to madness, not only him, but also other city leaders were ashen.
Only the old man in the tower could calm the desperate man a little.
"He, he said, there is nothing outside..."
"Except for the fog, there are only monsters in the fog. All other cities and villages have disappeared without a trace."
The old man pretended to be calm when he heard the man's words, but the slightly forceful knuckles showed that his heart was not calm, but he couldn't panic.
As a holy fire priest, if he panicked, the city would not be far from death.
But even if those fog walkers who went out would deceive them, the holy fire would not.
As a holy fire priest, the old man could feel that after the fog suddenly intensified, the connection between the holy fire tower in Huolin City and other holy fire towers was cut off.
And there is no sign of recovery so far.
Since the fog appeared, there have been cities or villages in the kingdom one after another, and they disappeared without a trace after a fog wave.
Because during the fog wave, the monsters in the fog will riot and launch crazy attacks on the settlements of the human race, so the kingdom has no ability to detect how those cities and villages disappeared during the fog wave.
On the contrary, because of the need to stabilize the people's hearts, the kingdom's high-level officials and the Holy Fire Church have been blocking the news of the disappearance of those settlements to avoid causing greater panic.
Wu Wei looked at the old man writing this message on a piece of parchment, which was like a suicide note, and suddenly thought of a possibility.
But there is still too little information now, and it is difficult for Wu Wei to make a judgment. After calming down, Wu Wei continued to read.
Wu Wei is very interested in the source and characteristics of this fog. Logically speaking, with the ability of a civilization, many professions specifically for foggy environments have been created.
There are also means like torches and lighthouses that can ensure the safety of human settlements. Regardless of whether they can be developed, they should not be extinct.
If it is said that the monster siege caused by the fog wave written by the old man, Wu Wei did not feel that the small town was destroyed by fighting.
He did not even see from the small townThere was no blood, but a desperate and dead atmosphere enveloped the entire town.
But the sudden fast-forward image told Wu Wei how the city turned into a dead land in a very short time.
The biggest impact of the fog on them was not the occasional monster attack, or the process of everyone in the city from birth to death.
The situation in this city has not experienced a wave of fog.
Wu Wei thought again, but everyone in this city died of hunger and lack of water, as well as despair.
In the original world of these people, after the sun came out, the fog would be suppressed by the sun's rays, and the crops could still grow after being nourished by the sun.
The fog did not have too much impact on these plants. Even if the fog enveloped these plants at night, as long as the sun rose as usual, the plants could use the sun's energy to expel the fog in their bodies.
The water obtained by the residents at noon can also be used for irrigation and drinking after simple purification. Although everyone's life is difficult, they can still live.
Except for the fog wave that comes once in a while, people just stay in the city and don't go out at night.
But after that fog wave, the people in this small town found that there was no sun...
Without the sun, it means no food and no water.
The light of the holy fire is only above the ground, so even if there is groundwater, it will be eroded by the fog and become undrinkable.
Even if there are many professionals with high levels in the city, they also need to eat. Without food and water, they will die!
Then, Wu Wei watched most of the people in a small town enter the torch on the top of the stone tower.
There are ordinary people who are about to be dehydrated with despair and relief, and there are professionals who can't bear it and secretly drink the groundwater full of fog energy, and their bodies change and are killed by guards.
Fewer and fewer people died in the small town.
Except for a small number of professionals who decided to leave the small town to find life in the endless fog outside, more people turned their bodies into fuel for the torch.
Compared to dying of thirst or starvation, or being corroded by the fog and turned into monsters, the residents of this small town are happy to be able to walk into the embrace of the holy fire.
The last one is the old man who is the priest of the holy fire. He squeezed out the last bit of energy in his body, sealed the bottom of the holy fire tower, and stood on the top of the stone tower to look at the whole town.
In the past few days after the fog wave, he killed many people by himself.
Those thugs who were crazy after despair, those lunatics who wanted to kill their own people and drink blood and eat meat to survive, were all suppressed by him and thrown into the holy fire as fuel.
He allowed those who wanted to live to leave, but did not allow those crazy actions to occur.
As the strongest person in the town, the old man who could mobilize the power of the holy fire in the city was fully capable of maintaining order in the town until he was the only one left in the whole city.
After tidying up the blood-stained priest robe, the old man slowly walked into the flame of the torch, and a smile of relief appeared on his old face.
His frown finally relaxed, and as the flames devoured his body, the old man's expression became more relaxed.
