The desolate, coarse roar still echoed, and similar sounds rang out in different parts of the city ruins.

They weren't as huge, but they rose one after another, equally hair-raising.

And the most terrifying thing was that countless roars had merged into one a hundred meters away from Shang Jianyao and the others.

At this moment, the clouds in the sky seemed to have been scattered a lot by such a commotion, and the yellowish moon briefly revealed half of its face.

The bright moonlight scattered, shining on the buildings dozens or hundreds of meters high at the end of the street.

In the thick of the night, the windows reflected the moonlight, revealing countless figures.

Their appearance could not be seen clearly at all. The only thing that could be determined was that they all seemed to be looking at Shang Jianyao, Jiang Baimian, and the others, and their bodies were slightly hunched.

Shang Jianyao and the others reacted almost subconsciously, each taking different actions, finding obstacles nearby to block them. Even Long Yuehong, because he had experienced similar things several times, was not much slower, and fully发挥了训练的效果.

The clouds moved quickly, and most of the moon was blocked again. The buildings at the end of the street were once again submerged in deep darkness, with only outlines vaguely visible.

After a while, seeing that no attacks had occurred, Qiao Chu, wearing an exoskeleton device, left the hiding place first.

However, he did not return to the middle of the road, but came directly to the left side of the street paved with dark red stone bricks. There were trees with leaves that had not yet fallen, blocking the view from above, which could prevent shooting from the end of the street from being able to aim.

Similarly, Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen also approached Qiao Chu one after another.

Shang Jianyao looked up at the sky, saw that the moonlight and starlight were getting weaker, and suddenly撲出躲藏處, and rolled twice in a row, coming to Wu Shoushi's side.

Then, dragging the corpse, he quickly entered an open house on the left side of the street.

The sign of this house was hanging diagonally, broken in half, and only four gray earth characters "小吃集团" could be seen.

Inside the house, rows of rectangular tables were arranged in two columns, covered with dust.

Shang Jianyao didn't care about the dirt, put Wu Shoushi on one of the tables, and, according to the first-aid knowledge Jiang Baimian had taught him, he unbuttoned the other party's coat and began to press on his chest.

"Looks like it's no use..." Jiang Baimian didn't know when she had followed in, watching Shang Jianyao complete the process.

Without giving Shang Jianyao a chance to speak, she habitually ordered:

"Check his body for any clues."

Qiao Chu, wearing an exoskeleton device, walked to the open doorway, pursed his lips tightly, and looked for two seconds:

"No need, go to the destination as soon as possible."

Jiang Baimian turned to look at Qiao Chu and said sincerely:

"If we can find out what happened to this ruins hunter and find out the real reason why he was sleeping on the street, it should allow us to avoid a lot of danger in subsequent actions.

"This place is really weird, and the horror of the monsters is beyond my imagination.

"Also, what do the 'Heartless' eat to survive?"

Although the "Heartless" group has the instinct to reproduce, it will not gradually disappear due to the death of individuals, but they are also creatures, and they also need enough food - in the city ruins that have lost agricultural and industrial support, they can only rely on hunting their own kind, rats, and bugs, and they cannot maintain such a large scale.

The ecological environment will gradually balance.

"Maybe the city's material reserves are very sufficient... The 'Heartless' have the instinct to survive and will actively look for these things." Bai Chen also entered the house, guessing the reason.

As for whether the stored food has expired or deteriorated over the years, the "Heartless" will not consider so much, they are almost brainless.

"Maybe." Jiang Baimian did not deny it.

After all, she didn't know what place this city ruin belonged to in the Old World. What if there were grain reserves that had been found in other ruins?

Moreover, the "Heartless" have reproduced for generations, and it is entirely possible that they have evolved the ability to eat raw rice and flour.

Long Yuehong listened to the discussion between the two ladies and couldn't help but said:

"There are so many 'Heartless' here, and the situation is so weird, should we retreat?

"Just move some things on the way out, and it can be called a great harvest!"

When he spoke, his eyes were looking at Qiao Chu.

Qiao Chu ignored him and just urged Shang Jianyao:

"Hurry up."

He seemed to accept Jiang Baimian's statement just now, and felt that it was necessary to investigate Wu Shoushi's encounter, otherwise, it would be even more dangerous for him.

After speaking, Qiao Chu carefully patted the dust on his body.

Shang Jianyao took the flashlight and checked it again. He didn't find any obvious injuries on Wu Shoushi, but the other party's face was twisted, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, or had encountered something extremely terrible.

This was very similar to the people who died strangely north of the Yuelu Station described by the bald hunter Harris. Brown.

Combined with Qiao Chu's statement, Shang Jianyao could initially determine that this was because he had been attacked by a Nightmare Horse and died.

As for where the monster was and how far away from here, he had no way of knowing.

Immediately, he stripped off Wu Shoushi's clothes and looked for inconspicuous traces.

"There is a circle of skin on the wrist that is whiter than the surrounding area, which means that he used to wear a watch, but now it may be dropped somewhere... No recent injection needle marks... Unfortunately, there is no way to test the blood here, and it is difficult to determine whether he has inhaled anesthetic gas..." Jiang Baimian approached and helped Shang Jianyao quickly complete the inspection.

Then, she straightened up and looked at Qiao Chu, Bai Chen, and Long Yuehong with a slightly solemn expression:

"It is likely that he was forced to fall asleep by a Nightmare Horse-like ability.

"What is not certain is whether this was done by a Nightmare Horse or some other monster."

"It's not a Nightmare Horse." Qiao Chu said very definitely.

Jiang Baimian nodded:

"Um... Do you know what the roar of a Nightmare Horse sounds like?"

Qiao Chu opened his mouth, as if wanting to simulate it, but felt too embarrassed, and finally gave up the idea.

At this time, Shang Jianyao also stood up straight.

Holding the flashlight, he asked seriously:

"Is it like this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he imitated the loudest and most terrifying roar he had heard just now, without any embarrassment or embarrassment.

Of course, this time, he controlled the volume.

"No." Qiao Chu shook his head without hesitation.

Jiang Baimian frowned slightly:

"It seems that the most terrifying monster in this city ruin is not a Nightmare Horse."

This was what she wanted to confirm with the question just now - whether the Nightmare Horse was the one that made a loud roar, attracting waves of responses.

"Is it like this?" Shang Jianyao continuously imitated the various roars he had heard before.

"None of them." Qiao Chu, who was wearing a helmet, couldn't help but asked, "Can't you just imitate a horse's neigh? The roar of a Nightmare Horse is essentially the same as a normal horse's neigh, with slight differences."

Shang Jianyao glanced at Qiao Chu:

"Never seen a horse."

After speaking, he turned his body, bent down, and checked Wu Shoushi's clothes pockets.

The first thing he found was a bronze badge. The front of the badge had a facial sculpture with blurred features and a knife and a gun. The back was inlaid with a small chip.

Shang Jianyao had seen similar things before and knew that it was the "Hunter Guild" badge, so he handed it over to Jiang Baimian casually.

Jiang Baimian did not read the contents of the chip and directly put it away.

——Wu Shoushi's previous completed tasks and the encounters in this exploration will hardly have any connection.

The second item Shang Jianyao found was a blue and white checkered handkerchief.

This handkerchief looked very old, and the surface was a little pilled, but it was folded neatly.

Shang Jianyao shook the handkerchief and didn't find any clues. He folded it back to its original shape and stuffed it into Wu Shoushi's chest pocket.

The third item he found was half a black chocolate wrapped in tin foil.

This chocolate had obvious traces of melting and resolidifying, but he couldn't find any places that had been bitten.

While Shang Jianyao was looking at the chocolate back and forth, Bai Chen suddenly said:

"He probably just licks it or puts it in his mouth and sucks on it when he wants to eat it."

She said it very calmly, as if she was already used to similar things.

Shang Jianyao nodded slightly while listening, and replied:

"Do you want it?"

"It's not necessary in this city ruin." Bai Chen shook her head.

There must be a lot of supplies that can be found here.

Shang Jianyao didn't ask anyone else and continued to search Wu Shoushi's clothes.

The fourth item he found was a piece of paper that was also folded neatly.

The words on the paper were quite neat:

"Owe Ru Xiang one can of beef;

"Owe A Gang two times of payment, equivalent to a large bag of compressed biscuits;

"Owe Zhang Quezi half a bowl of oil;

"Owe Aulanke a handgun, ten bullets;

"Owe Xiaoguang a meal of meat;

"Owe Ru Xiang a flower..."

Shang Jianyao quickly finished reading, refolded the paper, and put it in his pocket.

"You won't, want to pay it back for him, will you?" Jiang Baimian looked a little surprised.

However, she wouldn't be too surprised if Shang Jianyao did something.

Shang Jianyao replied without any expression:

"If I meet his companions, I will give them this paper and the hunter badge."

Jiang Baimian nodded slightly and slowly and didn't say much more.

The fifth "item" that Shang Jianyao searched out were twelve coins in Wu Shoushi's pocket.

Judging from their patterns and shapes, they should belong to the Old World.

"Can old world coins still be used?" Long Yuehong glanced at them and asked in surprise.

"Yes, but it doesn't depend on the face value, it depends on what metal it is and how much it weighs." Bai Chen explained simply.

Among the twelve coins, seven were silver-white and five were gold. Shang Jianyao looked at them for a while and put them into the small compartment of the camouflage backpack.

Next, apart from clothes, pants and shoes, he only found Wu Shoushi's black handgun.

"Ubei 7, there are still five bullets." Shang Jianyao identified it slightly and hung the gun on his armed belt.

These bullets are 7.62 mm, which are different from those prepared when they set off.

As for the automatic rifle that Wu Shoushi was carrying when he first met them, he didn't know where it had gone.

After searching, Shang Jianyao put the clothes back on Wu Shoushi.

"Let's go." Seeing that there were no clues, Qiao Chu urged impatiently.

Jiang Baimian and others did not object and followed him out of the house on the side of the street.

Shang Jianyao walked at the end, looked up, suddenly jumped up, and pulled down the metal door.

In the sound of rushing, the house was closed.

"What's the use of this? The 'Heartless' will open the door. At that time, this will be their food." Qiao Chu couldn't help but said, and then said in a deep voice, "Keep up!"

Shang Jianyao didn't do anything else. He followed the team, continued to carry the gun, and jogged towards a certain place in the city ruins in the deep night.
