In the wind and sand in the sky, a big city appeared and was shockingly unattractive. Although Hu You and the others could not really see the appearance of the big city because of distance, they could confirm that it was definitely a larger city than they imagined.

"Who will build such a big city here?" Hu You asked in confusion. Generally speaking, the prerequisite for building a city is that there are resources, and only resources can be valuable. And there must be sufficient resources to have the possibility of building a city. No one in power will build a city on a ruin. Even if he has a brain or something, it is absolutely impossible.

"This city is a bit strange." Long Guangyun became calm after being excited. The city had been found, and it could even be said to be right in front of them, but he always felt that something seemed to be wrong.

"I think too." Liu felt that Long Guangyun had simply expressed his thoughts. He wanted to speak before Long Guangyun, but because of his youth, he held it back. Not only should he have motivation, but he also had to endure it. You should be impulsive when you are impulsive, and you should be patient when you are patient. The difficult living environment since childhood has allowed Liu Liu to experience more than ordinary young people, and he also understands better when he is to face people and things with what attitude.

"What do you say?" Hu You's eyes swept over Long Guangyun and Da Liu.

"Liu, you'd better talk first." Long Guangyun encouraged Liu and said, "Tell me what you really think."

"Yeah." Liu nodded and said, "Then I'll say it. This city is big, but I don't feel angry."

"You mean: Is that an empty city?" Hu You asked.

"I can't be sure."

"Hideman, do you feel this way?" Hu You looked at Long Guangyun again.

"Well, I can't feel the anger of that city, as if... it was a dead city."

What was discovered was a dead city?

Hu You and the other two speeded up.

As the saying goes, the city has seen it long ago, but Hu You and the other three walked for a whole day before they came outside the city. It was already after supper, and the sun had already sunk into the other side of the mountain, and the darkness began to rule. It continued to swallow only a few lights.

The mottled city walls and the city gates that should have been in front of the long rushing road have long lost their traces. The city that has lost its sunlight is like a huge monster crawling, and may jump up at any time and choose people to eat.

"It seems that there is really no life here." Hu You frowned.

There is no one, no wild monsters, and the city stands alone here. Hu You and the other two may be the only visitors for thousands of years.

"Let's go in and have a look." Long Guangyun suggested.

I have already come here. Even if this is an empty city, I have to see how it is empty. Besides, it is almost dark now. It is impossible to go to other places. In any case, I have to spend a night here tonight. After all, this is a city, which is much better than living in the wild.

"Be careful, no one knows what will happen." Hu You reminded. The city must be entered, but he does not want to lose his life here. It is not worth losing his money for an empty city.

***************************************************************

Almost most parts of the city are covered with wind and sand, but it can be seen that the streets here are paved with bluestone slabs. Putting them elsewhere and laying some bluestone slabs is nothing. But here, it is a big project.

Keep walking in, you can see shops, parks, and even office buildings on both sides of the street. Hu You walked into a shop with good appearance and looked relatively well protected, and you could even see the goods that had been sold on the shelves.

"It seems like I'm leaving in a hurry." Hu You asked Long Guangyun: "Can you tell when these things were from?"

Long Guangyun nodded and said, "It is certain that it can be done, but it takes time, and there is nothing here. I'm afraid I can't do anything."

Continue walking forward, and what appeared in front of Hu You and the other two was a square or an open space. The sand here must be more than half a meter thick, and there were no houses around. Maybe there were trees planted, but now there is nothing left.

"Do you want to go forward?" asked Liu, who was leading the way.

"I don't think there is any need for that. Even if you go to the entire city, this is probably the case." Wei Yunfeng said. At this time, there was no surprise on his face to find the city. Such an empty city will not be different from seeing or not. At least for now, they have not gained any gains.

"I won't leave today. I can't see anything even when it's dark. Let's find a place to rest first and wait for dawn." Hu You also felt that it would be meaningless to go on like this.

Although it is a broken city, it is quite easy to find a place to rest. After setting up a place where you are relatively leeward, even if you are camped, there are no women accompanying you, and the three older men are not so particular.

"I'll get some firewood, the evening breeze is cool." Liu volunteered. He was young and didn't feel very tired after walking the whole day.

"What do you think?" After Liu went out, Hu You asked Long Guangyun.

"This city has been lost for many years, and it must have encountered some emergency that year." Long Guangyun said.

"What could it be? Most of the buildings here are complete. We have not found any remains along the way, no humans, no animals, and no wild monsters. There should have been no conflict here." Hu You shook his head and said. Even he encountered such a thing for the first time.

"You said it's OK. If the whole city says no, then you don't want it. Who can do such a big deal?"

"I have to ask you this. After all, this is the territory of your Empire of Light. Doesn't you have any records?" Hu You asked. How long has he been in the literary world? Long Guangyun was born and raised here. Even if you need to know something, it should be that Long Guangyun is more clear.

"I didn't know there was a city here before, so how could I know the history of this city? Then again, even if it was an empty city, such a large city was placed here, the people from Liushayuan should have discovered it long ago, but except for the legend of the city in the center, no one seems to have discovered that there is a city here."

Hu You nodded and said, "Yes, I asked Liu just now, and he also said that he had never heard of the news about the empty city at all. This city may not be as simple as it seems."

"What do you doubt?"

"It's hard to say now. Let's take a good look when it's dawn."

***************************************************************

When Liu came back, he came back with a broken table and a chair. He couldn't find the firewood and could only count these things. Anyway, there was no one inhabitants here, so it would be useless to keep these things. It would be better to use their remaining heat.

With the fire, it is indeed much more comfortable. The three of them took out their dry food and enjoyed it with water.

"Do you feel it?" Hu You suddenly asked while eating.

"What?" Liu was asked inexplicably, and he didn't feel anything wrong.

Long Guangyun also looked at Hu You. He wanted to hear what he was going to say.

"The ground is shaking, very weak, but very rhythmic." Hu You said seriously. When can you make jokes and when can't, he knows very well. Now is not the time to make jokes.

"Is there any?" Long Guangyun felt it for a while, but he felt nothing.

"It seems to be there, but it seems to be not." Liu was not sure.

"Let's do a real test and you'll know." Hu You said, taking out the kettle and putting it on the ground.

"Liu, come and grab the sand and put it on. It should be more detailed. Don't need too much." Hu You said to Liu. In fact, he did this at will and asked Liu to come to prove that anyone who does this can get the same result.

Liu put a small poke in fine sand on the kettle according to Hu You's request. Then he focused on checking it. Long Guangyun also looked at it very seriously, as if he was afraid of missing something.

People's feelings are wrong, but the kettle faithfully expresses its feelings. The sand placed on the kettle is a light dancer, carefully dancing its tiny body.

"It's indeed shocking." Long Guangyun quickly concluded from Hu You's actual test.

"Can it be an earthquake?" asked Liu Liu. In his memory, there were several earthquakes in Liushayuan, and each time it caused huge damage, which was very terrible.

"It shouldn't be an earthquake. Earthquakes won't be so regular." Hu You affirmed.

"I think this is more like a mechanical vibration." Long Guangyun said his judgment.

"But this is an empty city, how could there be machinery?" Liu did not agree with Long Guangyun's statement. It seems that there are only three of them in this city at present. Not to mention that there are no machinery, but it is not considered as having machinery. What is the use of driving?

"Everything is absolutely absolute, there are only things we didn't expect, and there is nothing impossible. It's too late to check it out, so we can take a night off and check it out tomorrow."

"Okay, then wait for tomorrow."

With fatigue and doubt, Hu You and the other two fell asleep separately, only the sand on the kettle was still jumping rhythmically. It seemed that it did not know what fatigue was, and it was dancing happily to its life.

************************************************************

When Hu You woke up the next morning, he looked at the sand on the kettle first. Just like last night, they were still beating.

"How do we find it?" Long Guangyun asked while having breakfast. Today's breakfast is no different from yesterday's dinner. They have eaten the same food in every meal these days. Here, eating is not to enjoy the food, but to survive.

"We hold the kettle or something else, and look for it while walking, and first see where the vibration is the greatest." This is the solution that Hu You thought of before going to bed last night. Such vibrations cannot be the same intensity in every part of the city. The greater the intensity, the more likely they will have the promise they want.

"This is not difficult. I think we might as well divide the three routes and check them from different directions. One day, we should be able to walk the whole city and gather here in the evening."

"Yes." Hu You agreed: "This is OK, but everyone should be careful. Once an emergency occurs, you should find a way to notify others immediately."

After communicating the details, the three of them set out. As Long Guangyun said, this job is not difficult, but it requires patience and time.

"According to the current situation, the tremor in the square in the city is the strongest. We will go there tomorrow to check what is there."

The hard work of the day was not wasted. After comparing the data in their hands, Hu You and the other two agreed that the square in the city was the most tremor. But just like yesterday, it was too late now, and even if I was afraid I couldn't find anything in the past, so I'd better give me some more patience and go and see it tomorrow.

The early morning sunlight made the square in the city feel quite cold, and it was so quiet that it made my heart empty. Hu You put the kettle on the ground again, and soon he found that the vibration here was so strong that it was not a little bit stronger than elsewhere. If the sand under his feet was not too thick, he would be afraid that he would feel it vibrating with his feet.

The three of them divided the work again. Finding the strongest vibration point in the square is not what they look for among the short men, but it is to strive for more excellence. It took so much time and effort, but they didn't want to get nothing.

"It seems that it's here. Should we dig it or what?" Liu looked at Hu You. Among the three, Hu You is the one who is in charge of what he wants to do.

"What do you think after the next call?" Out of respect, Hu You had to ask Long Guangyun first. Although the result is the same as asking or not asking, it is the way of the world. Asking more and asking less will not make the mood the world feel the same.

"Dig, let's see what's underneath." Long Guangyun gritted his teeth.

Hu You said before that this city is not that simple. Long Guangyun doesn’t believe it very much. Now it seems that Hu You’s judgment is correct. This city is indeed not as simple as a broken city, so it’s not easy to do it. There are amazing secrets hidden here.

Just grab it, without the help of machinery, the three of them can only talk about their hands. Fortunately, the digging of sand is not too difficult. Just pile up the sand and prevent those who are digging from flowing back into the pit.

***************************************************************

"What's this?"

When the sand was cleared, a small area appeared in front of Hu You and the other two.

"This should be metal, and it's a whole." Long Guangyun smiled and said, "What do you think it should be?"

"It's not a spaceship, right?" Liu Liu said young, and he dared to open his mouth and said anything. Anyway, even if he said it wrong, it would be nothing.

"I think it's a spaceship, and maybe it's not just a spaceship." Hu You pondered.

"You mean there are people on the spaceship!" Long Guangyun was not stupid either. Hu You's words were so clear. He couldn't hear them. Besides, no one would shock the spaceship?

"We might as well be bold to guess who will be in this spacecraft." Hu You's eyes could clearly see confidence.

"You won't imagine telling me that the people in this city actually moved to the spaceship. They have never left and they will live here all the time." Long Guangyun guessed boldly.

Hu You shook his head and said, "No, what I want to say is not the residents of this city, but... Zhu Zhishui!"

"You are so brave." A voice followed Hu You's words. It was not Long Guangyun's voice, but a relatively unfamiliar voice.
