Chapter 144 npc
After drifting on the sea for a long time, the two finally vaguely saw the shadow of the city.
Xin Lu sat behind the boat and looked up from time to time.
"It seems like it's either a mirage or land."
She could vaguely distinguish it.
"Well, there should be only land on this planet over there. Let's go there now."
"However, the closer you get to shore the more careful you are about safety and your mask."
Miao Xi glanced at Xin Lufu and gave some careful instructions.
"Don't worry, I will be careful."
Xin Lu touched the mask on his face and nodded cautiously, feeling very energetic in his heart.
Miu Xi paddled the boat and gradually approached the city.
As the distance got closer, the two of them could see the situation on the ground more clearly.
Well, I just glanced at Miu Xi from a distance and felt that something was wrong.
"There might be something wrong here."
"Yeah, indeed."
Xin Lu also frowned.
It’s no wonder that the two of them felt something was wrong at first glance. It was actually a lot weirder when they saw it from a distance.
The city on the shore gives people a very old feel.
Xin Lu himself was from the Ancient Origin Star, which was a very remote planet, but the conditions were better than those here.
But things were worse ashore.
Xin Lu could only guess that the location here was probably quite remote.
The two of them finally got very close to the shore with apprehension.
Miao Xi looked at the landing position on the beach. There was no one guarding it, which was good news. They should be able to land smoothly.
Xin Lu noticed another thing.
The color of the water becomes darker as it gets closer to the shore. It seems that the previous source of pollution should have come from here.
All signs are not good signs.
"Be prepared and be careful, we are approaching the shore."
Miao Xi had rowed the boat to the shore closest to the reef, and he was already standing on the bow of the boat, ready to jump off the boat.
Seeing that he landed safely, Xin Lu breathed a sigh of relief and finally held his hand and got off the boat.
Miao Xi pulled her up slowly from the rocky shore and finally walked onto the main road. Only then did she see the original appearance of this town clearly.
The dilapidated houses were piled with rubbish and desolate, not looking like the interstellar era at all.
Xin Lu thought this was some kind of remote rural area. From the looks of it, it must have been abandoned.
"I gonna go see."
Miao Xi was going to take a look at those dilapidated houses, and of course Xin Lu followed.
I looked at several houses in a row and they all looked dilapidated and abandoned.
Xin Lu stood on the road with his hands on his hips, feeling no longer so nervous.
"There's no one here anymore?"
She sighed and complained.
"No, the source of pollution must still be here due to human activities."
I just don’t know where people are hiding.
"By the way, is there a signal here?"
Xin Lu remembered that he was about to check Zhinao.
"No, I looked at it when I first landed."
Miao Xi had no expression on her face, so she said the situation was serious.
The two people continued to search the town while talking.
The whole town was eerily quiet.
Suddenly, Miao Xi moved his ears and raised his hand to signal Xin Lu to be quiet.
This is the discovery of movement.
Miao Xi slowed down and followed the small voice to the corner of one of the houses. After a while, Miao Xi caught the old man who was trying to escape and forced him outside.
Xin Lu followed behind and before he could react, Miao Xi had already caught him.
"Don't catch me, don't catch me, I'm over my age."
"Please let me go."
The old man covered his head with his hands, shaking like a sieve, and kept howling for mercy.
"Stop howling, we are not here to arrest anyone."
Xin Lu roared and successfully frightened the other party.
The old man finally looked up at them and stopped barking.
Miao Xi stood aside and frowned.
Xin Lu glanced at him and felt that Miao Xi probably didn't want to ask questions, so he took the initiative to walk up to the old man.
"Old man, we are not bad people. We ended up here accidentally. I want to ask you what the situation is like here."
"Think it through before answering properly, otherwise it will not be very good to see this big brother without you."
She pointed at Miao who was still able to make jokes at this time.
"You are not from here?"
"That's right, that's right. How can there be living people like you here?"
"Oh, I can't explain what happened here in one sentence or two. If you don't want to get into trouble, just run away for your lives."
The old man slumped on the ground and looked very desperate without the madness.
"It's our business whether to mess with you or not, you just have to say whatever you want."
Xin Lu urged, how could he not understand clearly when he was already here.
Besides, if they want to go back now, they have no choice.
"Okay, okay."
The old man moved a few steps and leaned against the dilapidated wall behind to support his body and slowly began to talk about what happened here.
Xin Lu also took Miao Xi to find a place to sit next to the old man. He didn't know how long he would talk.
Xin Lu felt like he wanted to listen to the NPC talking about the cutscene.
"This started more than fifty years ago."
"Our Planet Ocean is originally a relatively small planet, and its location is also very remote. It has no name among the stars. Even the name Ocean is called by everyone."
"Although the location here is a bit poor, it's still a place where you can live and work in peace and contentment. However, everything has changed since that group of people arrived more than fifty years ago."
Xin Lu held his chin and felt that this old man had a talent for telling stories.
She felt in her heart that she was still listening seriously.
"No one knows what that group of people does and where they come from. Not long after they arrived, they started to do evil. The most vicious thing is that they kidnap people and take them back for human experiments."
"Human testing?"
Now Xin Lu and Miao Xi couldn't sit still.
No wonder the source of pollution is here, it must be related to this human experiment.
"Yes, they raided people from six to fifty-six years old in Ocean Star. Those who were caught never came back."
"Everyone knows that they are probably in danger."
"Not only that, in the past few decades, experimental products have occasionally been leaked, and those who were not captured have gradually developed many strange diseases."
"There is also the ocean. Originally, life in this town was pretty good because it was the closest to the ocean. But now those people come in and dump experimental drugs into the ocean. People who live by the ocean are the quickest to be affected. At the same time, in the past few decades Life in the ocean has almost disappeared."
"The current residents of Ocean Star are almost dead and have completely turned into a desolate star."
When the old man said these words, there was no anger in his eyes and they were as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
This is the resignation of being unable to resist after despair.
Xin Lu and Miao Xi looked at each other and understood.
"The gang is still there."
Xin Lu asked affirmatively.
"Where?"
"Didn't the people on your planet find a way to escape or notify the outside world at the beginning?"
