   Chapter 851 One hundred and forty-two. In Bell, Belfast, the most prosperous place on the Allen Peninsula

   They came to the observation port leading to the ground ruins.

   "There is no exit from the shelter, you can only go back the same way."

   The depths of the strangely excavated cave were shimmering, as if the wind was blowing from the ground.

The    sanity counter made a slow noise.

   Pollution permeates the surface everywhere, and shelter residents cannot stay in the shallow layers for too long.

   "I'll send it to you." Irene said to Katarina who was about to take down the sanity counter and the dagger.

"Thanks. Ophelia, let's go up first and let this old lover have a few more words." Caterina picked up the back of Purseus' neck, stuffed the fluorite between its claws, and got back to the ground cave.

   Ophelia's charred silhouette was motionless, and she didn't intend to give them space to be alone.

   "It's time to part again..."

  Irene ignored Ophelia's existence and thought about the last time they parted. At that time, Anna was still there, and she still had... oh, no legs.

   "Will you build a new gathering place?"

"Why do you ask."

   "You cover yourself with indifference, but we can all see that you are a good person, don't tell me you have no idea about the current bad situation."

  Irene thought that Lu Li would say that his ability is not enough, but after those deep black eyes drooped slightly, she replied: "I just want to find Anna now."

   A slightly concerned gaze disappeared due to Lu Li's words.

   "Remember to notify me when you find it."

  Irene's white palm left the armrest of the wheelchair and waved goodbye to Lu Li.

"I will."

   "Wait, I have something to ask you." Irene stopped Lu Li, who was about to lower her head and burrow into the cave: "The observation port is dirty, wipe it for me after you go out."

   sounds a bit ambiguous, and Irene's red lips provoked an arc indicating that she did it on purpose.

  Lu Li didn't say anything, and got into the cave with Ophelia, who was like a furnace.

  Lulu pushed Irene to the observation port, a mottled metal iron pipe extending from the top of the cave.

  Irene wiped the dust-covered periscope with a handkerchief, and there was only a dim light at the other end of the mirror.

   "You don't seem to be interested in Lu Li anymore?" Irene took back the handkerchief and waited for the mirror surface to be wiped clean.

   "I think we used to be the same kind of people. Emotions are just a derivative of drag thinking. Only reason is the truth. But now he is no different from everyone else."

   "My opinion is the opposite of yours."

  Irene narrowed her long and narrow eyes, as if she was thinking about it.

   "It is never his divinity that makes us believe in God, but the part of his humanity that he possesses."

   "Only the unbelievers can join the sanctuary."

   "Just an analogy, you boring woman."

  Lulu was silent for a while, and after the rustling sound was no longer heard from the rock cave, she said, "Are you feeling sad?"

   "Why do you think so? On the contrary, I am very happy. The crisis in the shelter has been lifted, and the outside world has been successfully contacted, and people we know are still active on the ground."

   The other end of the periscope was vaguely translucent, and Irene leaned forward, leaning her one eye in front of the lens.

   "I mean Lu Li is still young, and you are already an old woman." Lulu said at this time.

   "So you're replying to me that you're a boring woman?"

  Irene saw the broken ruins, the distant coastline, and the black ring hanging from the void through the lens that became clear after wiping.

  The devastated land looks terrible, but the scenery is still precious.

   She looked at the figures who left the shelter again. They walked out of the ruins and disappeared among the trees of the Forest of Silence.

  …

   "What did you just wipe?"

   Stepping on the rotten bushes under the buried soil, Katerina asked Lu Li with a rustling sound.

   "Periscope."

   Lu Li was observing their footprints.

  Due to the dampness of the offshore, the forest soil is soft, and their footprints are obvious, and the disappearance time may take months.

   But the woods have no trace except their footprints.

  The Forest of Quiet Whispers is left unattended.

   Ophelia said that this place is barren, there is nothing, there is no weirdness, there is no life - this makes the weirdness not to set foot here, so the forest becomes a pure land.

   In the map provided by the sanctuary, the outline of the Forest of Silence is a long and narrow oval, like a long bread extending from the coastline into the land. In the narrow places, you can even see the wilderness on both sides through the trees.

This made it less difficult for them to find survivors who had left traces here - leaning into the edge of the deep forest, they saw the collapsed wooden sentry tower behind the tree canopy, and the gathering place surrounded by wooden fences .

   Lu Li and others stepped into the gathering place.

  This place has long since been abandoned. Collapsed fences and wooden houses silently tell of the disasters that have been encountered here.

   "Can you sense it?"

   The diameter of the gathering place is only 100 meters, but it is still not easy to find a "corpse".

   "It can't until it wakes up," replied the merchant.

   "Isn't there a way to save time?" Katarina asked.

   There are still two hours before dark. But they need to reserve time for their way home and beware of the strange fog coming early. At most one hour, they will return to the coastline and return to Andrea.

   "The approach of the exorcist can awaken the merchant." The merchant added.

   This can save a lot of trouble, Lu Li only needs to walk a few circles around the gathering place to find the merchant.

   If it is in the gathering place.

  Let Lu Li walk around the gathering place, Katerina and Purseus explore the remaining wooden house that has not collapsed, but unfortunately everything inside can no longer be identified as it was.

   Wait until Katarina got out of the wooden house and saw a silhouette crawling out of the clearing in the center of the gathering place.

   It was buried under the charcoal and embers of the bonfire, the black charcoal and dust covered by the soil rustled from it, and the huge backpack was full of recognition——

   The second merchant climbed out of the ground, stood beside the merchant, and remained silent.

   "Aren't you going to catch up?" Katerina asked when she came back.

   "It's over," the merchant replied.

  Swarm consciousness makes them have a common memory.

   "It's lost everything, just like me."

  People are not surprised by this. Knowing that the merchant was taken away by the inhabitants of the gathering place, they knew there would be nothing left in the backpack.

   successfully found the second merchant, and before night came, they left Quiet Whispering Forest and returned to the coastline.

  When they passed the ruins, they saw that the hole behind the stone statue had been filled up, and the color of the soil was almost the same as the surrounding area. In a few days, no one would find that there was a hole leading to the refuge there.

   did not stop at the ruins, and went back to the beach to row a boat and board Andrea. When standing on the creaky and dilapidated deck, Roshan on the sea is now emerging to the sea.

  Disgusting Roshan vomits a mist that breeds weirdness.

  The mist that drifted towards the land gradually enveloped Andrea, and the captain’s room was darkened.

   With a strange fog covering the earth, night falls at the same time.

   "The statue woke up."

  The businessman answered Lu Li's gaze.
