Chapter 147 Internal and external difficulties

"Kess, there... I found the shadow of the street. Could it be Trin Town?" Xie Ke suddenly ran over panting.

When we walked over, we saw a faint shadow of the house in the twilight ahead, only forty or fifty meters away from where we were. Whether it was Trin Town or not, seeing the house was like seeing hope. At least we didn't have to sleep in the wilderness. So we forced ourselves to get to a place where there were houses.

But as soon as we approached there, a strong smell of mold mixed with the smell of rats and various decay pounced on our nose mask. When the night wind blew, it raised the fallen leaves, paper scraps and dust everywhere, as if no one had cleaned it for a long time.

What's even more strange is that there is no light at all here, and the entire town is shrouded in a dead atmosphere.

"What the hell is going on? Could it be that there is no one living here?" Heng Qi looked at me in confusion.

"Are all the people here sleeping?" Huang Paopu said, shaking his granite head.

"It's only been past seven o'clock, will you sleep so early?" Xie Ke scoffed.

"It looks like there is no one living here. Could it be an abandoned town?" Liu Yong also expressed his opinion.

I can't tell you why? Could it be that this is really uninhabited here? Or is it not a town of Trilling at all?

"Brother, I feel a little uneasy, but I don't understand where this uneasy comes from." Yang Liu also looked at me and said.

I nodded and said to everyone: "We should not enter the town first, let's see what the situation is."

Everyone put down their backpacks and stopped at the entrance of the town.

Taking advantage of the twilight, I roughly judged the terrain and found that the town had two streets, one south and one north, and several other alleys connected these two streets. The total length of all streets and alleys would not exceed two kilometers. There were only dozens of buildings in scattered houses, all of which were only two or three stories high, and the tallest building was only four stories. There were many small pieces of green space between the houses, and the whole town's houses were dotted among these green spaces. On the outside of the town was full of yellow sand.

We are now on the railway east of the town, and the rails are still extending northward, but there is no platform here, which means there is no railway station here. But there should be a station in Trinity Town. So what's going on? Isn't Trinity Town really here?

"Kess, I also think the place is a bit weird. We can't stay in this wilderness. We must find a solid defense location." Hengqi said to me.

I put down the night vision device in my hand (the actual situation is the advanced equipment brought from San Francisco. Without this thing, I wouldn’t have seen the terrain of this town so carefully), and replied to Hengqi: "You make sense. Take out all the guys. We are now on Hanyue's territory. Hanyue once issued a warning that anyone who comes to find her will suffer misfortune! We cannot believe everything about her, but we cannot disbelief!"

"Not bad!" Hengqi took out an M4 carbine and loaded it with a magazine - this is our only automatic weapon. The rest of us only have rifles and revolvers. Among them, rifles are exclusive to men, and ladies only use revolvers. The revolvers are purely used by ladies for self-defense, and they are not allowed to take turns to fight.

I saw a train car next to the railway in front. The car had no wheels, so it was placed on the open space next to the railway. However, the steel shell of the car was still intact and was not rusted by wind and rain, which means that the quality of this thing was pretty good. I pointed there and said, "Let's go there first to rest."

So everyone began to move towards the train car.

I asked Hengqi and Xie Ke to open the way, and I and Liu Yong, Zhu Fenglian and others to protect the three girls, and the farmer, Lao Shen and Huang Paopuo were in charge of the palace. Suddenly, Huang Paopuo shouted: "I seem to see a pair of green firefly eyes! I am following us!"

The farmer sneered: "Huang Paopuo, don't talk nonsense, what are the eyes of green fireflies?" The farmer's voice was a little knotted, and he looked even more scared than Huang Paopuo.

"Yes, Huang Paopao, are you confused?" Liu Yong and Zhu Fenglian also sneered.

"You are wrong. Huang Paopu did see something!" I interrupted Liu Yong and Zhu Fenglian and shouted to the front, "Hengqi, Xie Ke, be careful and follow the 'tail' behind us!"

I don't have other skills, but my ears are still quite sensitive. Before Huang Paopao shouted, I actually heard strange footsteps. I judged that it should be an animal the size of an adult dog, maybe a dog. But in such a place, I wouldn't regard it as a dog.

In addition, the reason why I called Hengqi and Xie Ke was because now there were only two of them who were not carrying weights. Their backpacks were evenly given to the peasant and Lao Shen (the two old boys weighed about 160 or 70 kilograms. Although they were not particularly strong, they were already considered strong among us). They were completely light-fitting, so I asked them to take on the task of alerting, not calling other people.

Heng Qi and Xie Ke hurriedly stood by the roadside, picked up the gun in their hands, opened the security and loaded it, while opening their eyes widened and searching carefully behind them.

The night became darker and thicker, and the surrounding scenery was completely shrouded in the night. With the naked eye alone, there was almost no sight. However, such nightfall is not an obstacle for people with excellent eyesight. Hengqi and Xie Ke have excellent eyesight. If there is something in the dark, it is impossible for them to escape their eyes. However, they seem to have not seen anything now.

"Hurry up!" I had already walked to the carriage and turned around to greet everyone to come over quickly. There was a door in the middle of the train carriage, which was half open and half closed. Huang Paopao was impatient to push the door open and climb up.

And the moment his hand touched the car door, I heard some movement coming from the car. I hurriedly shouted at him: "Stop!"

When Huang Paopuo was yelled, he retracted his hand as if he was touched by electricity. The moment he retracted his hand, I clearly saw a pale face flashing behind the car door! Then I heard the screams from the girls behind me. Obviously, they all saw this face!

I didn't dare to hesitate, so I immediately raised my rifle and fired: "Bang!"

Then he jumped up and kicked open the car door. Liu Yong behind him also shone the flashlight.

But the back of the car door was empty and there was nothing.

I searched the entire carriage again, but I also had no gains.

Could it be that I was so confused? I scratched my forehead that had sweaty pain and couldn't figure it out.

No! I can't read it wrong! There must be something on the carriage just now!

"Brother, on the ground!" Yang Liu also climbed into the car and reminded me.

I looked to the ground and saw a few dark green liquids. There were slightly corrosive traces on the carriage board where the dark green liquid splashed! It seemed that this liquid was a corrosive and strong acid!

"Dadada" suddenly came from the car with the sound of automatic weapons. It was Hengqi who used his M4 carbine to shoot a three-point shot.

I poked my body out of the carriage and asked, "Hengqi, what's going on?"

Hengqi replied: "There is a wolf!"

"What? Are there wolves?" The farmer and the old god were panicked, and the two girls Gao Weizhen and Jiang Rulan shook together.

"Have you hit it?" I asked again.

"No, that guy escaped very quickly, actually dodged my bullets, and I don't know where he escaped!"

I know that in such a desert, there is a kind of coyote, which is slightly smaller than a prairie wolf, but has a lot of numbers. Once the lonely people or animals are surrounded by them, they will often eat them so much that they don’t even have bones left!

"Eyes, green fireflies, everywhere!" At this moment, Huang Paopu howled hysterically again, as if he had lost his parents.

When we looked around, we saw the eyes of green fireflies, countless figures that were moving back and forth, and their whimpering howling sounded like hundreds!

"Kess, let us get in the car quickly. We will be eaten up when we stay under the car!" The farmer, Lao Shen and others were so scared that they were pissed.

The situation in the car is actually not much better. If the creature just now doesn't find it, it will undoubtedly be a huge hidden danger! But the carriage is empty and there is really nothing!

Instead of letting everyone stay in the car and be eaten by the coyote, it is better to let everyone get on the car! I made up my mind to let everyone get on the car as soon as possible!

So everyone rushed to the carriage.

"Don't panic, take your time! Throw your backpack up! Hengqi and the monkey will stay below to guard!" I shouted loudly as I faced everyone.

"Kessi, are we going to retreat too?" Hengqi pointed at the dark shadows around him, and looked up at the carriage panting. I could clearly hear his voice very panic. It seems that even if Hengqi is as brave as he can, he must not be panic in the face of such a situation.

Xie Keze's face turned pale and even his legs became a little weak.

While using a rifle to warn them, I shouted at them: "You guys come up quickly!"

When everyone got into the car, the open space under the car was finally occupied by the figures of coyotes. They were not much bigger than adult grass dogs, but they were too many. Their eyes were flashing with hungry green light, their sharp fangs flashed with cold light in the night light, and a strong breath of death spread in the air...

The carriage is more than one meter high from the ground, and the doors are also closed tightly. The coyotes outside should not be able to enter unless their teeth are sharper than steel and can bite the steel carriage plate and door!

"Kesi, I want to give you some advice. Why did you hesitate just now and not let us get on the bus quickly?" Huang Paopu suddenly complained loudly at me.
