Chapter 16, the hard-to-enter rich area
Colin slept for half a day. When he woke up almost evening, he ate and drank again, and then went back to continue sleeping.
The next morning, he completely recovered and looked no different from yesterday.
But Pan Long noticed that there were a few more white hairs in his hair.
The group set out again to enter Weilun City. Because of the success of the last time, everyone was full of energy and fighting spirit this time.
Every time they passed by a house, Weimar and Joseph had to search. Unfortunately, when they entered the house, they found that each house had been taken first.
The houses were messy, everything was turned on and nothing valuable was found.
Obviously, before them, far more than a group of scavengers had visited the city.
After more than a dozen consecutive times in vain, Weimar and Joseph seemed a little depressed. They finally knew that yesterday's good luck was just by chance.
But Colin was indifferent and comforted his sons with a smile: "The situation today is normal. If every scavenger can gain as much as yesterday, how could everyone think scavenger is dangerous?"
They walked all the way to the wealthy area, and around noon, they arrived at a stone bridge.
This bridge connects the villa area where real wealthy people live. The bridge deck is wide and can accommodate several carriages in parallel. But at this moment, the bridge is completely blocked.
A large group of mummies gathered on the bridge, among which a burly man in rusty armor stood there motionlessly, like a statue. His body was covered with arrows, looking like a hedgehog, but he was still standing steadily with a long halberd.
Everyone stopped.
Colin looked at the big man and sighed.
"That's a famous master, 'Thor Thor' - I don't remember what he was called, I only know that everyone calls him that."
"Why did he stand among a group of jumping corpses?" Pan Long asked.
"When the 'disaster' broke out in Veeron City, he was the first person to get sick." Colin said in a deep voice. "After he became ill, he guarded the bridge. Many people wanted to cross the bridge, but he killed them. The bodies of those people turned into these jumping corpses."
Pan Long frowned: "Can you say that there is no expert in the entire wealthy area who can deal with him?"
"At that time, there was no 'Awakener'. He was originally the most powerful master in Weilun City. After being affected by the 'disaster', he became stronger. Even hundreds of people could not beat him." Colin sighed, "Did you see the arrows on him? He was shot like this at that time, but it was useless and had no effect on him at all."
"No one who escapes to this place in the rich area can escape. Those who survive in the end will leave the trash door."
Pan Long looked at the tall figure from afar and couldn't help but feel a little amazed.
With the power of one person, the entire wealthy area was blocked, forcing the rich to go to another place. This "Thor Thor" is indeed an amazing person!
"What should we do?" Weimar asked worriedly, "We can't beat so many enemies! Don't talk about 'Thor', even if it's just those jumping corpses, we can't beat them!"
Colin smiled: "I'm not crazy yet, why do you want to cause trouble for him? But if we want to enter the rich area, it doesn't mean we have to pass the bridge."
He pointed to the river under the bridge: "From a short distance away, there is a small pier. We can tear wood from the nearby houses, build a raft, cross the river, and go to the rich area - many villas in the rich area have piers, and even their own boats."
So under Colin's leadership, they avoided the bridge from a distance, walked a short distance to a small pier.
But there were also many jumping corpses gathered on the dock.
Seeing these jumping corpses, Weimar and Joseph were a little worried, and Colin's face also became gloomy.
"Why did a group of people die on the dock?" he murmured to himself, "Will they run away?"
"Maybe there is something in the river that makes them not have time to escape." Pan Long said, "I believe that when the 'disaster' breaks out, there must be many people who want to escape from the water. They gathered on the dock, and maybe a boat has come to pick them up. But an accident happened... I don't know if the accident came from the boat or from the river. In short, they didn't have time to escape and failed to make effective resistance, and were killed in an instant."
This is an easy analytical conclusion, not to mention Colin, even Weimar and Joseph could understand it.
But the danger behind this conclusion made the father and son frown.
Colin thought for a long time before speaking helplessly: "Norman is right, the danger may come directly from the river. In other words, maybe... it is still hidden in the river."
Weimar and Joseph looked at the rolling water and immediately showed a look of fear.
"Let's not get close to this river, take a walk," Colin said. "I don't know the specific location of the small gate in the rich area. But if you estimate it roughly, you can always estimate it. Although it takes a little time, it's much safer to get in through the small gate than to challenge 'Thor' or monsters in the river."
"But... it's dangerous to leave the shelter for a long time?" Weimar said worriedly, "It's better for us to go back. The harvest this time is already good."
Colin hesitated for a while and shook his head: "The most gains this time will be enough for our whole family to spend five or six years. This is based on the fact that everyone is not sick or accidents. After five or six years, I will not have the energy to fight again. What should you do then? Why not take advantage of the fact that I can still fight, and this time, save enough wealth for decades to come and talk about it!"
"Let's go out of the city and look for that small door."
The group left the city and surrounded the tall walls, looking for the small door.
But this is not easy. Twenty years have left the city walls full of vines, and the walls cannot even be seen in many places. Moreover, the weeds beside the walls have grown a lot, very tall, and some sparse small trees... It is not easy to find a small door in such a place.
They searched for an afternoon but couldn't find the small door. As it was getting late, they had to go back to rest.
After dinner, Colin and his family went to rest, but Pan Long stuffed a bag of weeds into his sleeping bag and quietly left the camp as if he was still sleeping.
He walked straight towards the bridge he saw during the day, his target was nothing else, but the master who was called "Thor Thor".
The other party may be the most powerful figure in this world. He wants to try it out. Is his strength high or low compared to the other party?
