Chapter 718 Weird Community
A gift from the elders?
Seeing Jiang Yue's surprised gaze, Luo Teng explained with a smile: "This is my teacher when I was studying in the capital when I was young, and he has always cared for me."

"Luo Ju, your teacher, is he also a master of refining talismans?"

"No, that teacher of mine is not a cultivator. He said that this set of talismans was a gift from a friend of his who is not a local. The teacher has always treasured it. I never imagined that such a rare treasure, the teacher would ask someone to send it to Star City. I am an unworthy disciple."

"Luo Ju is being modest. I believe the old man must be proud of your career, otherwise how could he give you this treasure? Wouldn't it be nice to keep it to protect his family?"

"Family?" Luo Teng shook his head sadly, "My teacher was married when he was young, but before he had time to have children, his lover died for some reason. Since then, he has not remarried. Therefore, he has been alone now. Counting , I haven’t seen him for many years. The last time I saw him was when he was 70 years old.”

"So, this elder is over 70 years old?"

Luo Teng sighed dejectedly: "Xu Sui is 76. Although he is in good health, he is lonely and widowed. This world is really unimaginable. It may be because he is worried that he will be in danger, so the teacher entrusted someone to send this treasure to Star City Bar?"

Thinking of his teacher still thinking about him as a student at this time, Luo Teng felt warm in his heart, but also worried.

There are actually many similarities between their master and apprentice. They used to have family members, but now they are alone.

This can be regarded as a kind of sympathy.

Jiang Yuezai looked at it carefully, and he had a thorough understanding of the lines and techniques of this talisman.

He still has a piece of material in his hand, which is the one that made the magic talisman back then.A small part was used to refine the talisman, and the rest was enough for him to use many times.

The specific power of this set of talismans is not made by him, so he still doesn't know it yet.

However, if he refines it according to the lines and techniques, he can roughly determine which direction this set of talismans is in.

"Luo Ju, this set of talismans is really important, so you must keep them safe. It is better than the series of talismans I gave you before. There is really no need to waste it until the most critical moment."

But Luo Teng said: "I don't know much about the magic talisman. In my hands, I'm not absolutely sure whether it can motivate me or not. Xiao Jiang, swords have been given to martyrs since ancient times. I want to present this set of talismans to you on behalf of my mentor. In your hands, perhaps it is its proper destination."

to me?
Jiang Yue's expression was full of surprise.

Luo Teng nodded seriously: "Only you are worthy."

"Xiaojiang, you don't have to refuse. Let's not say that you gave me a set of talismans, which helped me a lot. Just say that you have helped me solve so many troubles this time. I personally gave you a set of gifts, that is also You deserve it. If you refuse, you won’t treat me as one of your own.”

It's not that Jiang Yue is hypocritical, but this set of talismans is too expensive.

"That's it. If you refuse again, I will be angry."

Luo Teng closed the box roughly, and thrust it firmly into Jiang Yue's hand: "I believe that it will shine in your hands. After all, this thing is not for you personally. It is in your hands, and you can do it." The contribution is still for our Action Bureau."

Now that we've talked about this, if Jiang Yue is more twitchy, he will look hypocritical.

Nodding immediately, he solemnly accepted the talisman and put it in his backpack.

At the same time, he did not forget to warn Tuanzi not to try to steal these talismans.The level of this talisman is not something it can get its hands on. Once swallowed, the aura might expand and kill it on the spot.

Although Tuanzi is a foodie, he also knows that Jiang Yue didn't lie to it.

The talisman was in the box, and the spiritual power it emitted was so strong that it made Tuanzi feel strongly uncomfortable, let alone swallowing it in his stomach.

"Xiaojiang, there are still a lot of equipment here, you can find out what you fancy, don't be polite to me. Just do it yourself."

"Tomorrow, I will transfer a batch of hot weapons. These new equipment will not be sent to New Moon Harbor for the time being." Luo Teng obviously meant to ask Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue naturally agreed.

The self-rescue team in Crescent Harbor has just been established, and the team is still unstable, and the basic character of mental skills is still uncertain. It is obviously more appropriate to give some hot weapons.

The equipment of the strange era, such as new weapons and magic pills, is obviously not suitable for them.

Jiang Yue couldn't hold back Luo Ju's enthusiasm, so he chose one of the swords he had in hand.

Although Jiang Yue didn't fight close to hand to hand many times, but occasionally he would encounter this kind of situation, and having a weapon that was more convenient in his hands was just right for him.

In addition, Jiang Yue also chose two boxes of Zhuzhu pills, each with twelve pills.

Seeing this, Luo Teng obviously felt that Jiang Yue was being too polite, so he took ten boxes for Jiang Yue in one go, and pushed them to Jiang Yue without allowing Jiang Yue to question him at all.

"Xiao Jiang, this thing is a one-time consumable item, which is equivalent to a grenade. What's the difference between taking some or not? Take more. These things are more useful in your hands."

Jiang Yue couldn't help laughing, inexplicably remembering when he was a guest at a relative's house in the countryside when he was a child, all kinds of aunts and aunts would always add vegetables to his bowl, and his bowl would always be full.

At this moment, Luo Ju looks like those aunts and aunts who helped him pick up vegetables back then.

Take it, take it all.

Jiang Yue knew that it was hard to turn down the hospitality.

In fact, in these few battles, Jiang Yue had also used the Shuwan that he seized from Wu Dingchao several times.Now there is only one left.

Judging from the appearance of these pills by the Operation Bureau, they are not worse than the batch seized before, and some of them are even worse in appearance.

Although it is a one-time consumable, as Luo Ju said, it can be used as a grenade.

There is an action tonight, and these gifts naturally cannot be taken away at once.

Luo Teng was also thoughtful: "Xiao Jiang, you carry the magic talisman and saber with you. I'll send these magic pills to you at the Daozi Lane villa later."

……

In the Sunshine Age, Star City could almost be called a city that never sleeps.

But the Star City right now is surrounded by this deep night.How prosperous the night scene was at the beginning, how desolate and desolate it is now.

The night is a paradise for weird creatures and fertile ground for evil to brew.

All the city foxes and rats, ghosts and snake gods, became extremely active after the night fell.

The secondary mutation is still going on, and this troubled world continues to collapse.

It is not just buildings that collapse, but also the system rules of the Sunshine Age.All human systems related to ethics and morality are collapsing crazily.

Jiang Yue is like a ghost in the dark night, shuttling through this familiar yet unfamiliar city.

The dark night could not limit Jiang Yue's vision, but also brought him more pain and anger.

In those dark corners of the city, human beings who come out to look for food are like wild beasts, without the constraints of laws and moral burdens, human beings begin to show the side of beasts.

The play of cannibalism is frantically staged in every corner.

Behind a bag of instant noodles, a ham sausage, or even a humble packet of spicy strips, there may be blood, a living life.

Cannibalism is only part of the violence and evil in this city, and the hunting and killing of human beings by various strange creatures can be seen everywhere.

Jiang Yue was not hard-hearted. Seeing the bloody carnage, he couldn't help but want to make a move several times.

But in the end he was forced to hold back.

He kept telling himself that his position tonight was not in the survival of each family, but in Wuzhou Park, which was related to the survival of the entire city.

In the sunny era, it is estimated that it will only take two to three 10 minutes to drive to Wuzhou Park.

But tonight, Jiang Yue can only rely on two legs.

With the blessing of the amulet, if you can go all out on foot, it doesn't take too much time.

It's just that there are strange creatures entrenched everywhere in the whole city now. If Jiang Yue rushes on his way desperately, countless strange creatures will be disturbed along the way.

Of course he was not afraid, but he also didn't want to be entangled by strange creatures along the way.

Therefore, he walked very cautiously on every part of the road, trying to avoid places where powerful and strange creatures were entrenched, and he could make detours without breaking through.

After two full hours, Jiang Yue arrived at the outskirts of Wuzhou Park after ten o'clock in the evening.

Wuzhou Park is also one of the largest parks in Star City. Among the parks in Star City, it is relatively new, built about seven or eight years ago.

Because of the construction of Wuzhou Park, it has also boosted the surrounding real estate market. Twenty or thirty real estate projects, large and small, have been continuously launched, which has rapidly promoted the prosperity of this area.

In the sunny era, the housing prices in the Wuzhou Park area were almost at the top of the Star City.

It's a pity that with the advent of the weird era, the bustling and bustling past has become a thing of the past. Today's Wuzhou Park is just as desolate and desolate, and the bustle and bustle of the past can no longer be seen.

Some time ago, Jiang Yue accompanied Luo Teng to Wuzhou Park to investigate. At that time, those pear and peach trees in Wuzhou Park bore fruit overnight, causing tens of thousands of citizens to loot, and a serious stampede occurred.

This mystery has not yet been solved.

Unlike last time, Jiang Yue didn't rush into Wuzhou Park this time.

Instead, when approaching Wuzhou Park, they bypassed the entrance of the park and entered a residential area on the side.

Because this neighborhood is right next to the park, it was once the ceiling of Star City's housing prices.It is an existence beyond the reach of ordinary people.

But now, the neighborhood is extremely depressed.

After Jiang Yue sneaked into the community, he felt something strange.This strange feeling is still vaguely familiar.

But this feeling is completely different from when entering New Moon Harbor.

Although it was daytime when entering New Moon Harbor, it was night at this moment.

But that's not the difference.

What surprised Jiang Yue was that he had been in the community for so long, but he didn't even feel the slightest popularity. With his borrowing skills activated to the limit, he couldn't sense the perspective of half of the survivors within a range of 300-[-] meters.

This anomaly is too obvious.

You know, although this community was developed relatively late, it is a new building within five or six years.

But Jiang Yue also knows that this community is a popular real estate, and many people buy here to improve their quality of life.

Therefore, even if it is a new community, the occupancy rate is actually not low.

According to Jiang Yue's visual inspection from the outside, the occupancy rate of this community should be at least [-]% to [-]%.As a new community, with such a high occupancy rate in just two or three years, it is already considered very high in Star City.

This can also be judged from the decoration of each household.

But a community with an occupancy rate of about [-]% has no survivors?
Jiang Yue saw that the overall framework of the building in this community was not fatally damaged. It stands to reason that the survival rate of this new community should be much higher than that of the old and small ones.

What about people?

It can't be said that the residents of this community have all moved out in advance because of the weird invasion, right?
Jiang Yue didn't find it strange to say that one or two households moved away, or even ten or eight households moved away.

But it's not possible for all the residents to move out as if they had been negotiated, right?
Even if the owner here is rich, there are several houses in Star City.Could it be that the houses in other places must be more superior than this community, and more suitable for avoiding catastrophe?
Obviously, this possibility can be ruled out.

Every time Jiang Yue took a step, his heart felt a little heavy.

Something must have happened.

From the moment he walked through the gate, Jiang Yue felt this strange feeling.

Moreover, this strange feeling of deja vu made Jiang Yue feel a little ominous.

Jiang Yue came to a building king in the middle of the community.

This building has more than 30 floors. It is a luxurious configuration with two floors and two households. They are all spacious and grand apartment types.

The location of this building king is also very advantageous. If the floor reaches a certain height, you can stand on the window sill and overlook the entire Wuzhou Park.

Jiang Yue entered the door of the unit. The first and second floors were all rough houses without decoration, and no one lived in them at present.

On the third floor, the Spring Festival couplets pasted on both sides of the anti-theft door of a family on the left show that this is a renovated house for people to live in.

However, what surprised Jiang Yue was that the anti-theft door was open in this renovated house.

Not to mention the weird era, even in the sunny era, people who live in high-rise buildings in the city are used to closing their doors, which is really different from the countryside.

As long as there is someone in the family in the countryside, it is absolutely impossible to close the door of the house.

In urban buildings, even if the whole family is present, few people will leave the anti-theft door open.

There's no right or wrong, it's just a habit of life.

But the strange thing is that the door of this family's room is actually open.

It's almost eleven o'clock at night.

Open the door to steal?

Or is it that the family has already moved out, because they left in such a hurry that the anti-theft door was too late to close?

Jiang Yue was suspicious. Of course he sensed that there was no one in the room.Walking to the door and sweeping in, Jiang Yue couldn't help being a little surprised.

The decoration of this house is very particular, it looks like a wealthy family.

Jiang Yue looked down, but saw that the shoe rack by the door was neatly filled with shoes, and it seemed that there were people living there.

Jiang Yue scanned around the shoe rack and faintly sensed something was wrong.

Judging from the shoes on the shoe rack, this should be a family of three.

But he only saw the shoes for going out on the shoe rack, but not the slippers for home.

People in the city change their shoes when they go home, not to mention 90.00%, at least [-]% of them will do this.

Is this family an exception?

Seeing that this family's house is so tidy, it doesn't look like that kind of sloppy house.

And the shoes on the shoe rack are full, and there is no gap.

This is another intriguing detail.
