Chapter 12 Area 30!(1/3)
At night, the dark walls seem to blend into the night.
But the scarlet ‘30’ makes people’s eyes sting.
The door, which was entirely made of metal, had an indescribable sense of oppression.
"Is it a ceremony?"
"Or is the material special?"
"or……"
“Both?”
Jason walked to the metal gate and couldn't help but raise his hand and touch the 5-meter-high metal gate.
The surrounding walls are the same height as the metal gate.
Such a height is really insurmountable for ordinary people.
However, for the residents of the 'city that never sleeps', it really is nothing.
Especially for the residents of District 29, it would be an understatement to say that they are walking on flat ground.
Therefore, there must be some special defense methods here.
certainly!
The most likely thing is...
die!
Not walls, gates kill.
But when you cross over, you will die.
The residents of the "City That Never Sleeps" are quite persistent and have an extremely strong sense of paranoia about everything.
Only when faced with death or something that causes death will one choose to compromise.
Based on the behavior of the residents of Area 29 just now, Jason had a rough guess.
However, there was someone beside him who had been to Area 30, so Jason naturally didn't mind asking more.
"What's going on in District 30?"
Jason asked.
"It's a desolate scene. It's always shrouded in fog. Even during the day, it's gloomy. At night, it's even more difficult to see. Moreover, there are... monsters there."
Facing Jason's question, Lauren Delder said truthfully.
When talking about 'monster', this former collaborator of 'Big Shot' couldn't help but show fear.
"Those monsters are all kinds of weird. Some of them don't even have a normal body shape. They are just a ball of mist or simply a comb, a mirror, or even a toilet pusher."
"Toilet scraper?"
“It tastes great.”
Jason couldn't help but comment.
This made Lauren Derde look serious.
"Don't underestimate it. I've seen it eat an elephant-sized monster alive. But before that, the monster chased me for at least 5 kilometers, rampaging along the way. The submachine gun and grenades I carried couldn't do any harm at all.
Not a cent of it."
Lauren Delder said.
"5 kilometers?"
Jason keenly discovered the key words in Lauren Derde's words.
It is already difficult for most people to be able to identify the direction when they are running away.
And can you tell the distance?
Anyone who can do this needs to be absolutely calm.
And Lauren Delder is obviously not such a person.
At least, in Jason's observation, the other party was not like this.
In fact, this is also the case.
Lauren Delder said immediately.
“Because there are road signs!”
"There are very conspicuous road signs at kilometers 1, 5 and 10, but they are only distance signs. The road signs leading to where have been removed - there are traces of rotten nails on them."
Lauren Delder may be arrogant because of her 'supernatural power', but she still has basic qualities such as observation skills.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to be selected as a chess piece by the ‘big shot’.
"A road sign that was pulled out?"
Jason muttered to himself.
The owner of the secret passage, ‘Kulin’, said before that Area 30 is ‘Jin’’s trap.
There is no greater danger at all.
This is of course a lie.
But one thing, the other party did not lie, that is, District 30 was once a battlefield with outsiders, and a war broke out there.
If a war breaks out, it is natural not to give directions to the enemy. It is basic to destroy landmarks and road signs.
But why not destroy them all?
Do you still need to leave a distance?
"Can you tell how long that road sign is?"
Jason continued to ask.
"It's been at least 10 years or more. I don't know the details."
"Area 30 is in the fog, it's really humid, and the wood rots too quickly."
"and……"
“The buildings in District 30 are very old.”
"It's not like the reinforced concrete building we are in, it's the kind of wooden building or stone building that was decades ago or even hundreds of years ago. Those stone buildings are covered with moss, but if those wooden buildings were really decades ago,
, even those hundreds of years ago, should have decayed and collapsed long ago, but they did not, they are still intact."
Lauren Derde shook her head in confusion as she spoke.
Then, the former collaborator of the ‘big man’ continued.
"Anyway, it's very strange there. Not only the buildings are strange, but also the monsters. They seem to follow some rules and rarely appear at the 1 kilometer road sign. But once you leave the 1 kilometer road sign, there are so many monsters that it's terrifying.
The stronghold I found before was a stone cave within 1 kilometer, which contained ancient daily necessities, but there was no food."
"Um."
Jason nodded and quickly collected information about Area 30.
He believed that Lauren Delder would not lie to him.
The two of them are like grasshoppers on a rope now. Such lies are simply a recipe for death.
However, if it is concealed, it will definitely be there.
Jason didn't care about this either.
Friends all have secrets.
What's more, it's such a temporary and forced alliance.
"Is there anything else to note there?"
Jason continued to ask.
"Um……"
"I don't know if it's my illusion. When I was in Area 30, I always felt like something was staring at me. At first, I thought it was an illusion, but as time went by, I could confirm that there was indeed something.
Stare at me again."
"But what is it?"
"I have no idea."
Lauren Delder hesitated for a moment and finally answered.
He didn't think he could hide such information.
With the strength Jason has shown, once he enters Area 30, this information is simply obvious.
"Within the 'safety range' of 1 kilometer?"
