Steel Steam and Flame

After wandering around the ruins of the town for more than half a circle, Cassia returned the same way. On the edge of the open space, Cassia sorted out a small place in the collapsed houses as a temporary resting place. After returning to the limo, he moved everything over and found a drier place and piled it together.

The time came to around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky tended to darken, but it would take about two hours to wait until it was completely dark. Cassia took the fire bludgeon and proceeded along the edge of the town.

The plants grew more luxuriant, and there were weeds on the ground, which soon covered Cassia's knees. Not long after, the air around the body became colder, and the mountains covered by thin clouds felt oppressive. Several clear rivers were looming among the green woods on the slopes. In front, the calm light blue lake remained vacant all year round. , Rubbing all the clouds in the sky that are not beautiful.

The touch on the skin has become much stronger. After opening the cross pupils, Cassia clearly felt that the things hitting on the bare skin were more lively.

The area of ​​the lake has become a little bigger with the injection of snow water in such a long time. The water is extremely cool, and the submerged stone road and some low buildings can be seen at the edge of the lake. There were a lot of water weeds, a group of huge birds that returned to their nests swept over the lake, and on their hanging claws, Cassia saw fish covered with silver scales.

It's not a dead lake. There are not only lush aquatic plants, but also abundant fish. Under the submerged buildings, Cassia was certain that she saw schools of fish swimming.

"The information is biased? But it is more likely that when the strange disease spread here, a very small number of species survived and completed the evolution of their own resistance. Just like those snakes and birds, they survived. In a few decades, such a small-scale ecological circle has been formed."

After cutting a sharp wooden stick, Cassia carefully inserted a fish as an experimental subject.

It seems to be the fish at the lowest end of the food chain, living on aquatic plants. The scales seemed to have become tougher, and the strength of the body's swing also surprised Cassia. The strength was so great that when the group of fish was disturbed by Cassia, the shadows fleeing in the water were like sharp swords pierced out.

And Cassia found rows of sharp teeth in its mouth, which could barely cut his skin under the test. Although it is a herbivorous fish, the blood in the body still made Cassia shed a layer of skin. The idea of ​​eating fish at night was forced to give up halfway through.

"Everything here carries germs?" Cassia looked at the lake in front of him and the mountains behind it, not knowing where he should start. Grote only told him a place name, where the holy sword was placed on the highest mountain.

"In a cave, it’s a bit hidden, but as long as you look for it carefully, it’s still easy to spot. After entering, you should be able to see some symbols engraved in the cave. Those are road signs. Follow along and you won’t be in the cave. Lost in the middle. After all, there is a cumbersome network of caves. In order to prevent other people who accidentally broke into it, I still took some thought to go up." Grote said that at the time.

After the volcanic eruption here, Cassia still does not know whether the cave network has been affected. But the amount of exploration is a bit large, and I will stay here for a longer time.

Using solid fuel and picked up wood to set up the fire, Cassia continued to look at the note, trying to get more information from it. The light dimmed unconsciously, but Cassia, who was surrounded by the fire, didn't notice it much. The diary was baked again, and when it was close to the limit, Cassia turned over a few more pages of illegible paper.

"Twenty-six diamonds were found today. They are of high quality. After processing, it is estimated that they can sell for more than one million sacred coins. There is news from the team leader that a member of the team is sick, like a cold, weak body, and slight skin. Allergic symptoms, slight redness. I will come back to the town tomorrow to rest for a few days..."

"The fossil bones of creatures were found in the condensed lava. After being excavated, it was preliminarily determined to be the ribs of some huge paleontology. About four meters in length, none of the guns we carried could leave marks on them. The boss thought Very valuable, I decided to move back and carve it into art and sell it."

,,

These are the diaries written by the mineral hunting team not long after they came here. It can be seen that the spread of the disease is not very rapid, and the people who have symptoms in advance are also the weaker ones. And those who stay in the town for a long time are relatively safer. The address surveyor who wrote this diary wrote that most of their group of people who did not enter the mountains were "infected" in the end.

Cassia was more interested in the huge bone, but was not surprised. Such skeletal fossils will be buried in the ground at any location. Before seeing the real thing, he couldn't tell whether it belonged to dragon bones or larger creatures of the second type.

Carefully closing the diary, Cassia put it aside and muttered to herself: "By the way, according to the words of the old people, after these people came here, they never went out. Most of them died here. Since there is one The cars went back, but they were all people pulling a car. In their words, it seemed that the minerals these people found did not appear?"

"Where will it be hidden?" Cassia raised her head at this time, and was stunned. There was a misty green brilliance in the firelight in his pupils~www.ltnovel.com~ I don't know when the night will come, and the lake is steaming. A layer of mist, covering the calm water, was emitting a dim green light.

There is also a certain substance over the lake. The brilliance there is very dim, but Cassia can see it clearly, and it is indeed the same as written in the diary. Under the cloudy sky, the dim multicolored light is like water plants floating slowly in the water. Rippling in the air.

Cassia stood up and left the scope of the fire, only to find that he had really entered a strange world.

"These are all germs?" He didn't want to understand the reason for this phenomenon. After opening the cross pupils, the lake water also had an extremely dim green color, the dense woods on the hillside, and behind him, all the objects here seemed to be covered. More or less fluorescent powder is applied, and the dim light makes it no longer have a substantial night.

In the depths of the woods on the hillside, the rivers formed by snow water become more obvious, they are brighter, like a light belt that runs through the area, connecting the top of the mountain covered by clouds with the lake at the foot of the mountain.

"Water source!"
