Global Fog Survival: I have a built-in editor

Chapter 239, Isaac City and Mission

"Emir, the eagle soaring in the clouds... will guide the lost souls to the underworld."

"The brave warriors will ride on the back of the emir and enter Valhalla."

After calmly reading the two lines of hieroglyphs on the ruined tablet in front of him, Su turned his head and stared at Li Youji with his indifferent eyes.

"My lord Li, infer from these two inscriptions."

"The place we are in should be the border town of the Highland Kingdom... Isaac."

"..."

After staring at the half-tilted stele in the weathered eyes on the ground for a few times, Li You couldn't figure it out.

How did Su judge where he was with just two simple sentences?

"The mothership Alabalong once housed warriors from the 'Highland Kingdom'..."

"In the traditional culture of the Highland Kingdom, the Eagle Emir is the exclusive totem of Isaac City."

"Only near the city of Isaac... can we see the records about the 'Emir of the Eagle'."

Standing up from the stone tablet, Su's voice was no longer as cold as before, but instead brought out a slight change in emotion.

"Master Li Yu, apart from powerful warriors, the Highland Kingdom is also good at 'sorcery'."

"This is a 'energy utilization system' that is similar to magic but completely different."

"The most intuitive point...is the Highland Kingdom, where there is no funeral custom."

"The dead will be directly made into ghouls by 'wizards', and used as soldiers and labor."

"..."

"Good guy!"

"The dead... directly turned into zombies??"

Su's words caused Li You's expression to change immediately.

"From this point of view, the customs of this highland kingdom are really barbaric..."

"but……"

After hesitating for a moment, Li You looked at Su and asked:
"Is there any connection between this ghoul and those 'zombies' in the mist?"

"..."

"There's a similarity between the two, but they're not the same thing."

Shaking his head, Su stared at the nearby mist and whispered:

"The 'zombies' in the mist are not from this world."

"It is darkness, released from other devoured worlds."

"'Monsters' like zombies, cultists, as you mentioned before."

"Although their appearance and life forms are different, there is one thing...they are the same."

"They have lost their souls and become the walking dead that the darkness uses to conquer the world."

During the conversation between the two, the south wind knights who were sent by Li You to search the surroundings just now returned to Li You.

"Master Li You, we have carefully checked the surrounding ruins."

"But I didn't find the 'strange thing' you mentioned."

The report of a group of south wind knights did not meet Li You's expectations.

If something like a "wonderful object" could be found casually... that would be unreasonable.

Tang Ziyang's dry water pit camp, after searching for an unknown amount of time in the ruins of the city, he only found a dozen soldiers.

How could he be rewarded as soon as he came here?
"It's normal not to find..."

"It seems that we need to search deeper into the city."

"On the periphery, the density of buildings is too low, and... most of them have been damaged to the point of no search value."

Hearing Li You's words, Sally, who was following him and carrying a simple exoskeleton frame, clapped her hands expressionlessly.

"You have heard Master Li You's order!"

"……keep going!"

After a group of south wind knights continued to explore the way forward, Li You also led Sally and Su and walked slowly behind them.

It can be seen that this "City of Isaac" should have encountered a war at the beginning.

Although most of the surrounding buildings are weathered and collapsed, it is not difficult to see some traces of gunpowder smoke.

Even on the road that everyone was walking on, they could still see the wreckage of some siege weapons from time to time.

"These should be weapons belonging to the army of Isaac City."

Walking quietly behind Li You, Su didn't wait for him to ask questions this time, and took the lead in explaining.

"The Highland Kingdom prospered because of necromancy, but because of it... it laid the seeds of disaster."

"In a normal history that has never been invaded by darkness, the entire Highland Kingdom... was destroyed overnight by the hardworking ghouls."

"..."

"How does this sound a bit like a slave rebellion?"

Before Li You could continue to ask, there were rhythmic gunshots from the south wind knight who was exploring the way not far ahead.

"Huh? Did you meet a monster again?"

After being refreshed, Li You led Su and Sally and quickly walked towards the direction where the gunfire came from.

The distance of tens of meters can be described in the blink of an eye at the speed of the three of them.

When Li You came to the front, the previous gunfire had stopped.

Two "cult priests" in shabby red robes were throwing themselves on the ground covered in bullet holes.

Where he fell, there were two pools of black and smelly black blood, which made Li You couldn't help but change his expression.

"Although ordinary cultists look more like lunatics, they still look a bit human."

"But this cultist priest, why did the blood become strange?"

"..."

"Master Li You, there are a lot of these things nearby."

"After we opened fire just now, the others were all frightened back, and then fled into the nearby ruins."

"Do you need to chase into the nearby ruins to clean them up?"

The reports from several south wind knights made Li You's heart sink slightly.

"Are you going to run away?"

Ordinary cultists are lunatics who pounce on people when they see them.

These high-level ones already have the concept of "bullying the weak and fearing the hard"?

This is not a good thing for Li You, or for the chosen ones in the fog.

If the monsters are just mentally handicapped without spiritual intelligence, that's all.

But once the monster starts to become smart.

The life of the Chosen Ones... I am afraid it will become even more difficult!
"Clean it up...not needed for now."

Although the "cult priest" can bring "primary soul core" to Li You.

But this time, Li You didn't come here to do this.

The area of ​​the "Ruins of Isaac City" is huge. Judging from Li You's discovery along the way, the density of monsters in it may be exaggerated.

At least in just over half an hour, Li You had harvested nearly 30 "primary soul cores".

And the price... is just some worthless bullets.

After thinking about it, Li You no longer paid attention to the two cultist corpses on the ground, but waved his hand to signal the south wind knights to continue moving forward.

Where they are now, they should still be in the outskirts of the city.

In other words, they haven't even been able to enter the real "Isaac City".

An ancient city like this must have a city wall as a protective facility on the outside.

But so far, Li You has not been able to see the city wall.

After the group started to move forward, Li You began to think about the "development of Isaac City" in his heart.

"The density of monsters here is extremely high, and to me it's a treasure trove of geomantic omen."

"It's just... with my current strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to carry out large-scale development of Isaac City."

Looking at the large area of ​​ruins illuminated by "portable strong searchlights" around him, Li You couldn't help but think of his current situation.

In addition to his own "Swan Castle Fortress", the central market was also expanded to a very large area by Li You with the "medium-sized bonfire".

Even so...the land that Li You can utilize is still very tight.

The "fast-growing vegetable seeds" he bought from a wandering trader cannot be planted in the mist.

And the "twilight safety zone" paved with "roads" cannot be used as a "camp".

Active in the "twilight safety zone" for a long time, regardless of whether the selected person or the residents of the fog, their bodies will be damaged to varying degrees.

In this regard, countless selectors who live in the "central market" have brought accurate test results to Li You.

"After leaving the fire, humans can stay in the 'low light safety zone' for up to 24 hours."

"If it lasts for too long, your body will feel extremely uncomfortable."

"It's a pity, if the road can be lived for a long time."

"Now I can expand the army and population on a large scale..."

Thinking all the way forward, Li You didn't even notice that the south wind knights in front had stopped on the road.

"Master Li You, we should...have reached the wall of Isaac City."

Holding the "portable strong light searchlight" in her hand, Sally at the side shined upwards along the huge wall in front of her.

As far as the eye can see, it is almost all potholes and cracks.

Not far to the left of the crowd, there was a huge wreckage of a siege tower lying there quietly.

"As expected of the kingdom of imperial ghouls, this city wall looks extraordinary..."

No wonder Li You was surprised.

Instead, he had seen the city walls of the Hynes Empire when he was in the "Copy of the Overlord's Evidence".

The height of those city walls is 20 meters to [-] meters.

What Li You was facing now was a majestic city wall that couldn't even be fully illuminated by the "portable strong light searchlight".

"Master Li You, Isaac City is huge... Should we follow the city wall to find the entrance to the city, or try to climb up here?"

After being awakened from contemplation by Sally's reminder, Li You also hesitated.

The city of Isaac is huge, and it's hard to tell how far you'll have to go if you look for the gate along the city wall.

But if you say "cross over"...

Li You raised his head and looked at the huge towering city wall above his head, which seemed to be "towering into the fog", and couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.

Although the city wall is full of cracks and large pieces of dilapidated gaps, it is the first time for Li You to climb the huge wall tens of meters high with his bare hands.

"Besides, when I came out this time... I didn't make any preparations for this!"

This time Li You came out, although there was a small amount of rope in the supplies he carried.

But that length is obviously not for climbing such a high wall.

"Climbing this wall is currently beyond our technical capabilities."

Shaking his head, Li You had made a decision.

"Let's try to search along the wall, maybe we can find the entrance to the city."

……

"What should we do? This 'task'...is it going to be done or not?"

Looking at the [Mist Survival System], there is an extra "task icon".

The faces of Qin Lang and the others are not good-looking.

It was originally discussed and only searched around the periphery.

But after searching and searching, they found something that made them very difficult to choose.

……"Task".

This is something that few people have never touched before.

Even in the chat channel, few people have heard any rumors.

"I've never heard anything about the 'mission' in the chat channel before."

"Either, the rewards of this mission are so amazing that people remain silent. Or the few of us are simply the... first triggerers of this 'mission system'!"

Serious eyes swept over the faces of the surrounding partners one by one, Qin Lang continued:
"So, this 'Find Tatara' mission... are we going to do it or not?"

"..."

Listening to Qin Lang's words, the expressions on the faces of the three people next to him changed slightly, but they did not express any opinions on this matter.

Obviously they were hesitating.

The task that several people found was triggered by a "package" found in a ruin.

The information on the package shows that this is a "love bento".

And the "task" they received later required a few people to deliver this "Love Bento" to "Dodoluo" inside Isaac City.

As for the others, nothing was mentioned in the mission information.

There is no information about rewards, punishments, etc., so I won’t talk about it.

Even the "Dodoro" mentioned in the mission is so perfunctory that there is only one name.

A few people couldn't even be sure, what kind of "thing" is this Dotara....

After being silent for a moment, Ai Qingqing gritted her teeth and made the first decision.

"...wealth is found in danger."

"This mission has obviously involved some 'secrets' of this fog."

"Furthermore, since it is a 'mission'... there must be a reward! And this reward is probably the... strange object we are looking for!!"

"I think... we should have a try!"

After Ai Qingqing's voice fell, not only Qin Lang, but also Wumao and Zhenle on the side were shocked.

Obviously moved by Ai Qingqing's rhetoric.

"..."

"Qingqing is right..."

"According to the road signs given to us by the mission, the location of the mission target... is only about five kilometers away from us in a straight line at most."

"If we are more careful, it shouldn't be a big problem..."

In Zhen Le's hesitant words, Wu Mao on the side finally expressed his opinion.

"If you all decide to do this task... I have no objection."

"Qingqing said a lot before, we can't make a trip for nothing, can we?"

"And the monsters here are indeed all dumbfounded."

"The few 'cult priests' we met before would even be scared away by rifles."

"I think we can really give it a try..."

Seeing that the four of them decided to try the task of "finding Duoduo", Qin Lang coughed dryly and said in a deep voice:
"If everyone makes a good decision..."

"Then this mission... let's give it a try!"

"But if the situation is not right in the middle...we will just give up the mission and go back to the periphery to continue the search!"
