traveler among pirates

Chapter 57

Hughes looked at the blood in his palm, moved his wrist, and the discomfort just now faded away, then he wiped the blood off his hand and continued walking forward.

In this kind of weird city, no matter how careful Hughes is, he will be tricked inexplicably.

Although Hughes didn't know whether the strangeness of his body just now had something to do with the current appearance of the city, but he didn't care much about it.

As he walked on the road, the wound in his hand had begun to heal, and the blood no longer flowed out.

Everything around is metal in various shapes, and everything seems to stay at that moment, not only people, but also the plants on the roadside.

The gloomy city, the strange metal figures and objects, and the silent streets, this kind of weird situation made Hughes feel a strange sense of beauty.

Hughes stepped on the street, and the floor of the street was also made of metal, and the only sound left in the whole city was Hughes' footsteps.

The gloomy city began to darken. Here, the sky is still divided into day and night, gray and dark.

Hughes looked at the dark dome above his head, which was made up of all kinds of mist. The dark streets were no longer suitable for continuing, so Hughes decided to rest temporarily.

Hughes took out a simple folding tent from the back bag, spread a blanket on the ground, and Hughes just lay down in it.

Here, there is no difference between the inside and the outside of the house. It would be more comfortable to set up a tent by yourself. Hughes took out a plant of light grass from his rucksack, and the soft plant light illuminated Hughes' tent.

It was also the only source of light on this dark street.

Hughes took out a plant root that was as thick as a thumb and as long as an arm. This plant was dark red in color and emitted fluorescence. After taking out this plant, the air in the tent became fresher visible to the naked eye.

The dark red plant fluorescence became a bit dull, and the originally tall and straight plants were also a little sluggish.

This plant is of the same origin as the plant in the Seuss mask.

"Whoo~"

Hughes let out a long and happy sigh of relief, and now he can finally have a good meal. Outside, eating a bite of meat, his mouth is full of lead.

Even the wine has become undrinkable, and now Hughes can finally taste it.

After dinner, Hughes sat cross-legged on the ground, and Fei and Qiushui were placed on his legs steadily. In this weird city, no one could fall asleep peacefully.

After all, night and day are different. Night is a kind of protection, but not for ordinary people.

Hughes closed his eyes, his consciousness began to sink, his breathing became calm, and a sharp aura exuded from his body, like a sharp knife that would be unsheathed at any time, quiet and deadly.

The night passed and nothing happened. Hughes, who was sitting cross-legged on the blanket, suddenly opened his eyes. Here, there was no sign of the coming of day.

Hughes took out a ground sandwich from his rucksack, which was his breakfast.

Hughes put away his tent, the surrounding environment was still as dark and silent as ever, and the air was filled with a heavy metal smell.

Hughes strolled on the main street. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Hughes suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly.

A roar came from a distance, and Hughes was a little puzzled, so he stopped and stood on the street.

"There should be no living people here?" Hughes is still very confident in his own perception, and there will be no such thing as misjudgment.

As the roar approached, a dark and heavy modified car turned out from a distant street corner and headed straight for Hughes.

Hughes put his hand on Qiushui's knife handle and looked at the car without saying a word.

Bark! - Boom!

The car just stopped in front of Hughes, dragging two long brake marks on the ground.

It was only when Hughes got close that he realized that the car was 7 or 8 meters high, and its appearance was all thick metal, even the tires were tightly wrapped.

It is simply a huge modified armored vehicle.

The car stopped in front of Hughes for a long time, but Hughes didn't move but put his left hand on Qiushui's knife handle.

Snapped.

A door that was seriously out of proportion to the size of the car was opened.

Hughes looked up curiously, and it was true that the door was not opened near the ground, but near the roof.

"Robot?"

"Humanity?!"

A man with a head like a robot poked out from the car.

Hughes looked at the robot with some surprise, his eyes were full of curiosity, it was not human, Hughes was sure of this.

Because there is no human being without a heart, and human beings will not install LCD monitors on their faces.

Because of this display screen, Hughes can clearly see the inner state of the robot after seeing himself.

There is a bit of caution in curiosity, a little bit of fear, and a bit of happiness and even shyness.

Just understand, Hughes thought silently.

The robot looked at Hughes vigilantly, with only one head sticking out, and one hand still firmly grasping the door, as if it would retract at any time.

"..."

"..."

Hughes and the robot just looked at each other, but no one spoke first.

"Why! You human appear here? How did you get in?!"

Finally, the robot couldn't stand it anymore, and took the lead in asking Hughes.

"How did you get in here?..." Hughes thought for a while, "That's how he came in by boat."

"Impossible! The outside of this country is blocked by a fog of confusion!! Even if outsiders have that kind of strange pointer, it is impossible to come to this country without a guide!" The expression on the monitor on the robot's face changed to Out of anger, he thought Hughes had lied to him.

"You said those strange gray fogs. Indeed, those fogs are very troublesome. If it weren't for my strength, I might not be able to get in." Hughes nodded to the robot to express his approval.

"Strength?..." The robot's expression became confused, it didn't understand what this had to do with strength.

Hughes didn't mean to explain, but asked the robot, "Do you know why this country has become like this?"

Although the robot was full of guard against himself, Hughes still wanted to ask it about the situation in this country.

After all, this robot is the only one Hughes can find that can move and communicate.

I thought that according to the robot's guarded attitude towards me, I wouldn't say much, but I didn't expect the robot to agree very readily.

"Okay!" The robot replied to Hughes.

Then Hughes saw the screen on the robot's face start playing.

"Mm~ It's too far away, I can't see clearly." Hughes said, and then he dodged and came to the side of the robot, which is the roof.

"what are you doing?!"

The screen playing on the robot's face stopped and turned into a scared expression, and the robot looked at Hughes timidly.

Because of fear, even the body began to retract into the car, but Hughes grabbed its arm.
