The road to Mysterious Forbidden Zone is farther than Lu Xin thought.

He was carrying his favorite coarse cloth bag. Although it didn't look that beautiful, it was thick and strong and could not be cut with a knife. It contained food, guns, bullets, drinking water, medicine, as well as esper clamps, and even some money and a piece of gold. They are all things that can be used, and if necessary, you can hit people directly with the bag.

However, the disadvantage is that it is a bit too heavy. He shifted it from his shoulder to his hand, and then from his left hand to his right hand, and his arms were sore.

But the path in front of us still has no end.

The weather was a bit gloomy. Although it was mid-morning, it looked gray and a bit dark.

Turning around and looking around, you can find that you are in a desolate place, and there seems to be an abandoned village not far away.

The town was shrouded in mist, filled with all kinds of vines and lush trees. It looked like these plants with extremely strong vitality had eaten up the village, like green monsters squatting on the horizon.

The path under your feet can definitely lead all the way to Happy Town.

There are relatively few weeds on the path, and there are some faint car marks that are almost indistinguishable.

But no matter whether you look forward or backward, you can't see half a person.

However, in the desolate wilderness on both sides of the path, there seemed to be many eyes secretly looking at me.

But when Lu Xin stopped and looked in the direction of those eyes, he couldn't feel them anymore.

"This place is so unusual..."

Lu Xin murmured in his heart and looked at his sister sitting on his shoulder, "Do you think so?"

"No."

My sister swayed on Lu Xin's shoulders and kept eating candies. "I like it here."

Lu Xin then realized that my sister's aesthetic sense is different from others.

He turned his head helplessly, trying to find Mom, but found that she was no longer with him.

When she first entered here, she was still following her, but after walking for a while, the person disappeared.

Probably because she was wearing high heels and her feet would hurt when walking on such a path...

But Lu Xin is also used to it, and Mom is the most reassuring one.

Regardless of whether she is around or not, she will definitely come out to help him at critical moments.

"Puppet-type ability users have been taken care of. There are still two ability users left on the other side, as well as four fully armed people. It should not be difficult to deal with. Moreover, Happy Town is a dangerous place. You may encounter some other troubles..."

Lu Xin didn't like the too quiet atmosphere here, so he spoke slowly, using the voice of chatting with his sister, breaking through the quiet and weird atmosphere of this place. "Besides, before we came out this time, we promised my father that we would ask him to help."

"So we may really have to let him out by then. Sister, are you afraid of him?"

"..."

This is a very natural action.

But in the eyes of others, Lu Xin is talking to his shoulder and asking for his opinion.

My sister lowered her head from Lu Xin's shoulder and looked at him backwards. "Of course I'm not afraid. Why should I be afraid of him?"

Then he waved his little fist and said, "When I grow up in the future, I will make him a toy and beat him every day..."

"Huh?"

Lu Xin felt a little strange. "Aren't you always afraid of him?"

The younger sister stopped talking. She just stared at Lu Xin quietly with her eyes. After a while, she smiled.

"It's not him I'm afraid of..."

"..."

"Aren't you afraid of him?"

Lu Xin was a little confused. "Then who are you afraid of?"

His sister didn't answer him. When he looked up, he found that his sister had sat upright and slowly pointed her hand in the distance.

"Brother, look quickly..."

"..."

Facing the direction pointed by his sister, Lu Xin raised his head and looked forward, and then felt a slight headache.

It was like the chapter was interrupted, and the shouts of many people seemed to be ringing in my head.

The picture he saw in front of him was like an old TV, with various snowflakes and shadows flashing from time to time.

After calming down for a while, he regained his balance and the scene in front of him began to become clear.

He saw a large farmland in the distance.

The land was divided into pieces, as neatly as a Rubik's Cube.

In the farmland, crops are planted one after another, growing very neatly.

The entire farmland can't be seen at a glance, but it is very clear and distinct.

In the oncoming wind, you can smell the fragrance of grass seedlings, mixed with traces of strange sweet smell.

"Are we here?"

Lu Xin thought slowly in his heart and continued to move forward.

There is no doubt that there must be people living here. Apart from the farm in Qinggang, Lu Xin has never seen such a large area of farmland anywhere else. Moreover, the fact that the fields can be planted so neatly also shows that there must be many people living here.

He cheered up slightly and continued walking along the path.

Before I knew it, it was getting dark.

Lu Xin looked up and could see a bright red moon rising from the top of the mountain.

He remembered that it was still morning when he separated from Gecko, and it was already night after a short time.

"Have I been gone for a day?"

Lu Xin thought subconsciously, feeling a little strange.

Why did I not even feel hungry after walking all day?

"When you first come in, you will feel a headache and dizziness, but the symptoms are very mild, and it will pass after a while..."

"After walking for another ten minutes, I came across neat farmland. I don't know what kind of fertilizer was used, but the seedlings were growing very well..."

"Night comes faster here..."

"The moon also seems to be brighter than other places..."

"..."

Stopping at the roadside, Lu Xin took out his small notebook and wrote down his experiences bit by bit.

As mentioned above, this exploration is also considered a mission, so it must be recorded.

I just don't know what the reward will be.

At that time Gecko forgot to ask, and Lu Xin couldn't rush him, otherwise it would appear that he was too eager.

After walking for another ten minutes, Lu Xin saw that the surrounding farmland was no longer growing crops, but medicinal herbs with small pink flowers growing there. The strange aroma he smelled before was probably coming from these medicinal herbs. The farmland where medicinal materials are grown is also divided into neat and dense pieces, which makes it feel very comfortable for obsessive-compulsive disorder.

While passing a flower field, Lu Xin saw a person.

He was a man who looked somewhat strong, wearing a light blue coarse cloth jumpsuit. He was seriously engaged in weeding in the field. When he was far away, his body was buried in the pink flowers. It was not until he got closer that he was discovered.

Judging from his appearance, he looks very similar to the Happy Town resident Lu Xin saw in the information before.

"Hello..."

Lu Xin stopped and said hello to him.

The man in the field stopped and slowly stood up and looked at Lu Xin.

There was a kind smile on his face.

So Lu Xin also showed a kind smile to him and said, "Is this Happy Town?"

The man in the field didn't answer, he still just looked at Lu Xin with a smile.

Lu Xin After waiting for a while, he still didn't answer. His smile seemed a little stiff, as if it was fixed on his face.

"Thank you!"

Lu Xin thanked him and continued walking forward.

At this time, he had already seen the end of the farmland. Under the mist, there was a huge shadow.

In the shadows, you can see some white walls, and it seems that you have finally arrived in a small town.

Above the head, Crimson Moon has also risen, and a faint red light falls on the flower field, giving it a mysterious beauty.

As Lu Xin walked towards the town, more and more people appeared in the surrounding farmland.

It was already night, and they were still working in the fields in silence, without hearing a word of conversation.

Because they are so quiet, you often don't find them until you get close to them.

Then, regardless of whether Lu Xin greeted them or not, they all straightened up, turned around quietly, and looked at Lu Xin smiling. Their smiles seemed to be carved from the same mold. If the smiles could be calculated, then the arc of their smiles should be the same.

When we reached the edge of the town, Lu Xin stopped.

Turning around, he saw people looking at him one after another in the farmland, quiet and neat, like scarecrows.

"They are still working so late, what a group of hard-working people..."

Lu Xin also looked at them quietly for a while.

Behind him was the small town, but when he came to follow, he found that the lights in the entire town seemed not to be turned on. Although Qin Ran and the others might be here, under such circumstances, Lu Xin didn't know where to find them.

So he thought for a moment and walked towards the person closest to him.

It was a girl who stood in the field and looked at Lu Xin quietly. She seemed to be in her twenties.

Her facial features were originally very beautiful, but it seemed that due to years of hard work and being exposed to the wind and sun, her skin looked a little rough, and there were two deep blushes on her cheeks. She was also wearing a light blue jumpsuit. After getting closer to her, Lu Xin could smell a pungent sour smell on her body. This girl must have sweated a lot from work and hadn't showered for a long time.

Lu Xin looked at the girl, and the girl looked at him.

The girl had a smile on her face, and her teeth looked white and neat.

"I want to ask you about someone..."

Lu Xin looked at the girl and asked softly.

The girl looked at him with a happy smile on her face, motionless.

"This person looks like this..."

Lu Xin took out a photo, which was taken of Qin Ran who died at the beginning. His face was livid and stiff.

The girl looked at him with a happy smile on her face, motionless.

"Okay..."

Lu Xin remembered what Gecko told him before setting off: two things are necessary when dealing with people in the wilderness.

One is weapons and the other is money.

So he took out a fifty-dollar bill and handed it to the girl. "Can you tell me?"

The girl looked at him with a happy smile on her face and took the banknote.
