Soul echo

Chapter 222 Heading to the 'Military City'
Knowing from the villagers that no large group of people passed by the village in recent years, Zhong Ye bid farewell to the villagers and continued to set off with Lilian.

At least salt and oil cannot be produced independently by the hallucinogen production base, and must be transported in from the outside. It can supply hallucinogens to dozens of cities and towns in the southeastern region, and the production base must be very large.

That being the case, logistics and transportation must be quite frequent. If it is not a small quantity and many batches, then it should be a large quantity and few batches.

No matter which method is used, a large number of traces will be left-this kind of traces cannot be erased casually.

Of course, if there is such a transport team, they may not necessarily pass around the village, but will choose to detour.

It cannot be concluded that there is no production base of hallucinogens here based on the one-sided remarks of the villagers, so Zhong Ye did not go to the next location, but continued to search along the road.

"Teacher, is this river marked on the map?"

The carriage traveled along the river, and while they were looking for the possible hallucinogen production base down the river, they were also looking for a place where they could cross the river.

Hearing Lilian's inquiry, Zhong Ye let go of the rein with his left hand, took out the map from the backpack beside him, and opened it.

"Yes, and there are several places where you can cross the river."

Zhong Ye looked down the river on the map, "Going forward, we will reach an abandoned town. Although that town has been abandoned, the bridge built by that town is still there. Go up and across the river."

"Abandoned town?" Lilian became excited when she heard the classic location that would inevitably trigger events in this RPG game, "Why is it abandoned?"

"do not know."

Holding the map, Zhong Ye frowned slightly, "It's just that this is an abandoned town marked on the map, and it also marked 'dangerous'."

Abandoned town!Also marked 'dangerous'!
Lilian suddenly became confused. No matter which one of these two appears, it represents an event. Now that two appear at the same time, doesn't it mean that there are many hidden plots behind the abandonment of the town? ?
"do not think too much about it."

After all, Zhong Ye is also a player, and he is very clear about the psychological activities of players, so he shattered Lilian's fantasy: "We will not enter the abandoned town, but directly cross the river from the bridge next to the town."

Hearing this, Lilian froze, "Why is this..."

Although the abandoned town on the map is marked as 'dangerous', Zhong Ye is a strong man who can face a demon army head-on. Can the 'danger' in the abandoned town be more powerful than a demon army?
If it was really that dangerous, a demon hunter would have dealt with it long ago!
Demon hunters seldom enter towns, rarely appear in front of people, because they prefer to smother danger invisible.

Monsters that need to be dealt with by demon hunters are often quite dangerous. They will either cause mass destruction to the people, or they may pollute the sanity of the people. In short, they should not appear in front of people.

Therefore, demon hunters behave like dark heroes. Although some people know of their existence, they will never appear in front of others unless it is absolutely necessary.

'Danger' is marked on the map, who knows when this map was made, maybe the witcher has solved the danger in the abandoned town?

Thinking of this, Lilian cheered up.

right!The incident might have been resolved by the witcher, so even if she passed by that place, she would not have missed exploring the map!
Lilian comforted herself in this way in her heart.

The wind and frost gradually increased, and there were still some snowflakes mixed in the cold wind.

Lilian leaned against the window, watching the snowflakes flying outside the window, dazed, silently feeling the shaking of the carriage.

As Zhong Ye said, there is an abandoned town not far away on the map——

Zhong Ye steered the carriage to turn around, allowing the scene of the abandoned town to be reflected in the glass window on the side of the carriage, allowing Lilian to see the broken wall.

Sliding her eyes along the gap in the wall, Lilian saw the town that had been turned into ruins.

The roof collapsed, the walls toppled over, and the streets were in chaos. Even if her vision was blocked by flying snowflakes, she could still imagine the reason why the town was abandoned through these only images.

The town was abandoned, perhaps because of an 'invasion', a battle.

The traces on the fence were not the result of years of erosion, Lilian could tell that they were traces left by the battle.

According to the knowledge that Zhong Ye had taught her, it should be some kind of large creature that broke the wall, at least three meters tall.

If such a dangerous creature was entrenched in the abandoned town, it would have been killed by the demon hunter long ago.

Lilian couldn't help but sighed, she hadn't participated in battles for more than half a month.

After getting used to the thrilling and exciting life before, returning to calmness now made her feel uncomfortable. No wonder there is such a thing as 'post-war psychological syndrome'...

The carriage staggered past the abandoned town, and not long after, the sight of the abandoned town disappeared from Lilian's eyes.

Then, a rushing river came into view.

The carriage drove past the bumpy stone bridge, Zhong Ye was holding a map in his hand, and the sheepskin fluttered and rolled in the cold wind.

He took out the compass from his arms and took a look, leaving the abandoned town far behind, and drove towards the predetermined direction.

call--

Lilian, who was sitting in the carriage, frowned suddenly, and she didn't know if it was her illusion. She seemed to hear a low and weak roar of a beast in the wind.

…………

After spending a whole day, Zhong Ye and Lilian failed to find any trace of the hallucinogenic production base at the predetermined location.

"Should not be here."

Zhong Ye frowned, and took out the baked potatoes. He held the steaming potatoes in his hand, but he didn't feel any pain.

His physique as high as seventeen points has greatly improved his tolerance to temperature, but this temperature can't make him feel pain at all.

Pull out a small knife, cut up the baked potatoes, put them on a wooden plate, and hand them to Lilian.

Taking the wooden tray, Lilian quietly looked at Zhong Ye, but soon, she was attracted by the baked potatoes exuding a faint fragrance.

"Then teacher..." Lilian stuffed a few baked potato chips into her mouth and asked vaguely, "Are we going directly to 'Military City' next?"

"Correct!"

Zhong Ye nodded, "Today, that town is no longer the main producer of firearms in the Kingdom of Gaul, but it is still the main producer of flintlock guns. Get too much attention.

"If you control that town, even if you can't take back all the ammunition, you can secretly withhold some of the ammunition and arm yourself."

Lilian's eyes widened as she stuffed the baked potato chips into her mouth.

"That is to say... What we are going to face next may be a fully armed army?"

Zhong Ye nodded heavily, "It's possible!"

Even he couldn't be completely unscathed in the face of a modern army - of course, the 'modernization' here refers to the modernization of Dan's world, not the modernization of Earth.

If 'Legend' can be contained, a power armor company can kill it.

He knew very well how terrifying a fully armed power armor was, almost like a miniature tank, even more terrifying than a tank.

If the nobles of 'Military City' are really members of that organization, they will most likely usher in a fierce battle next.

But before that, Zhong Ye needs to think about how to expose the identity of the members of that organization.

In an entire town, it is impossible for all the nobles to be members of that organization, nor is it possible for all the troops guarding that town to be members of that organization.

Once the identities of those people are exposed, those who were originally hostile to them will instantly become their comrades in arms.

That is a group of strong supporters!
