Chapter 153 The Important Thing Jiang Han Forgot
"Okay, then let's go through the survey points one by one," Jiang Han said calmly.
"Okay." Mu Ningxue nodded, agreeing with Jiang Han's suggestion.
The group then moved towards the deserted city while surveying the area. Upon entering the desolate Jinlin City, they found that the roads that originally led directly to the city center were filled with abandoned cars that had long since developed rust. These cars had been left on the roads, and it was easy to imagine that during the evacuation, they had blocked the roads, leaving the citizens with no choice but to abandon their vehicles and flee.
In the prosperous and peaceful times of my previous life, cars were a valuable possession. However, in this world, when demons attack a city, cars become a burden, mainly because people rely too much on roads.
Between a car and life, life is definitely more important, so whenever demons attack the city, cars are always one of the first items to be discarded.
After passing through the outer ring road, streets and houses gradually came into view. The streets were filled with abandoned houses and various weeds or unknown vines. The word "desolate" best describes Jinlin City at this time.
"It's unimaginable what happened here back then that made this city like this," Bai Tingting sighed.
"Stop lamenting the desolation of the city, let me find a safe place to stay first," Shen Ming said with a smile.
Jiang Han kept looking around at the desolate Jinlin City. He felt like he had forgotten something very important, but he couldn't remember what it was. Finally, unable to recall, Jiang Han simply stopped thinking about it and followed the group of people leading the way.
"In this desolate city where demons roam freely, we may face danger at any time, so the place where we settle must be safe enough so that we can evacuate in time if we encounter danger..." Lu Zhenghe rattled off a bunch of common sense about wilderness survival to show off his knowledge of demons.
"Where should we go to stay?" Song Xia asked Lu Zhenghe.
"We need to occupy a building as our base, especially one whose rooftop connects to other buildings for easy evacuation," Lu Zhenghe said.
"Yes, tall buildings offer a wide view, which makes it easier for us to keep watch. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to detect if a large number of demons came."
"I think that building is pretty good," Mo Fan said, pointing to a building in the distance.
The gray building rises abruptly from the ground in this area, seemingly constantly washed by rain. It looks much cleaner than the other buildings, and one might mistake it for a place where people live.
Song Xia compared the map with the others and said with a smile, "Mo Fan, you know how to choose. That's where the former municipal building of Jinlin City used to be, it's the most advantageous location in the whole city."
After passing through several residential blocks, the municipal building came into view. Jiang Han looked at the municipal building and his right eyelid kept twitching for some reason, but he did not find anything dangerous.
"This is also the area we need to survey, but I feel there's something strange about this city hall. Did you notice those plants? They're not growing towards the sunlight; instead, they've all climbed into the city hall. It's really puzzling," Qingqing said, staring at the plants covering the city hall.
"This municipal building is indeed a bit strange," Jiang Han said calmly.
Jiang Han had a premonition that the thing he had forgotten was closely related to this municipal building.
Mu Nujiao, who cultivates the plant element, carefully sensed the city hall and said, "It is indeed very strange. Those black vines that are neither vines nor trees grow randomly in the city hall, making the bright city hall feel crowded and even a bit gloomy."
"Aren't you guys being a bit paranoid? If there were demons in this building, we would have been attacked long ago if we were standing here," Lu Zhenghe mocked.
"Yes, Sister Mu, aren't you and Jiang Han overthinking things?" Ai Tutu said, running up to Mu Nujiao.
Jiang Han said calmly, "Perhaps. Leave a few people outside to keep watch while the others go in to investigate."
Jiang Han, Bai Tingting, Ai Tutu, and Mu Nujiao remained outside the city hall, while the rest of the group followed them into the plant-filled city hall. After the others entered the gloomy city hall, Jiang Han, Bai Tingting, Ai Tutu, and Mu Nujiao found a relatively clean residential building nearby to stay in temporarily.
Bai Tingting is a healing mage, usually a key protected member of the team and rarely takes risks. Ai Tutu only stayed because Jiang Han asked her to, while Mu Nujiao felt the municipal building was a bit eerie and didn't want to take the risk.
While resting in the residential building, Bai Tingting reached out and picked up a bag of instant beef jerky that was not fully sealed. She said in a puzzled tone, "Strange, how come there is a bag of beef jerky that is only half-eaten here? And the beef jerky is only a little moldy, not completely spoiled."
"Hey, it really is! How come there's moldy beef jerky here? Could someone have been here before?" Ai Tutu leaned closer to Bai Tingting and said.
"What exactly have I forgotten?" Jiang Han murmured to himself as he sat on the steps in front of the apartment building.
Just as Jiang Han was deep in thought, the municipal building shook violently, and the black vines that had grown to the municipal hall were writhing violently. A hideous, enormous head was revealed in the damaged area on the second floor of the municipal building.
The head didn't look like an animal's head; it was more like a wooden stake, with a huge, black mouth that kept smacking its lips.
The countless tendrils were like tubes delivering nutrients into the throat of that enormous head, and the tendrils extended into the interior of the city hall.
"Pseudo-Terror Demon!! Holy crap, I was wondering what I forgot, turns out I forgot about this giant guy." Jiang Han looked at the enormous head extending from the city hall and instantly stood up from the ground.
"A fake demon? How could there be a fake demon in the city hall?" Ai Tutu's pretty face turned pale with fright.
Bai Tingting and Mu Nujiao were also speechless with shock at witnessing the monster, which stirred up huge waves in the hearts of the three women.
"You guys stay here. There might be a bigger one coming later. I'm going to the city hall to rescue them."
After Jiang Han finished speaking, he rushed towards the city hall. As soon as he entered the city hall, he heard the panicked voices of Luo Song, Zhao Manyan and others, as well as Mo Fan's cursing.
"This plant keeps closing in. Once it's finished closing in, we'll die here just like those hunter mages."
"Damn it, if any of you have demon-slaying tools, stop hiding them. If you keep hiding them, we're all doomed."
"Water Defense - Guardian!!"
"Radiant Shield!!"
"Rose Flame - Fierce Fist - Heaven-Shattering Strike!!"
The crimson flame fist struck the closing plant wall, but just as it burned the plant wall blocking the crowd to ashes, before it could escape the encirclement of the plant wall, it slightly contracted and was then pulled back by black vines.
If it weren't for Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue blocking the black vines, people would have already been dragged away by them.
"Dragon Flame - Fierce Fist - Nine Palaces!!!"
Blue-purple flames filled the entire city hall, burning the black vines that had once again gathered around it into charcoal.
"Roar!!!" The fake ghoul, exposed outside the city hall, roared madly.
