Lu Jing was a little unconcerned when he heard the female shopkeeper say it was getting dark soon.
After all, the sun was still hanging overhead at the moment, so it would logically take quite some time from sunset to complete nightfall.
However, just as the two of them were talking, the sky darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
By the time the guy came out of the warehouse, the sky outside was almost the same as at sunset.
There was also a strong wind, mixed with yellow sand, which hit the signboard outside the tailor shop, making a crackling sound.
Lu Jing jumped onto the roof with the coffin board, covered the big hole, and then tied it with ropes and beams. He looked at the street below and found that all the surrounding shops had closed their doors and windows.
Except for a few pedestrians who were still running home in a hurry, the streets had become empty.
Then Lu Jing looked in the direction where the wind and sand were blowing, and finally found the reason for the darkening of the sky.
All he could see was an endless yellow line on the horizon, rushing toward the small town where he was.
--sandstorm!
No wonder the female shopkeeper and the clerk in the tailor shop looked so nervous when they saw the big hole in the roof.
However, Lu Jing did not rush into the house. Instead, he quickly looked around and took in all the scenes in the city.
Having seen the clothes of the people around him earlier, he had some guesses about where he was now, and when he came outside the house, he saw the scene in the city.
Previous speculations have also been further confirmed.
The architectural style of this place is obviously different from that of the Chen Dynasty. It is a bit like Byzantium in the previous life. It is dominated by domes and comes in various colors, which makes it quite exotic.
The entire city is located in the desert and was built on an oasis. The area is not too large and the population is estimated to be only tens of thousands, but it looks quite wealthy.
Lu Jing originally wanted to observe for a while longer, but the anxious voice of the female shopkeeper came from the room, "Are you ready?"
So Lu Jing took one last look at the well behind the tailor shop and jumped off the roof again.
When he returned to the shop, he found that the windows had been sealed, and the only door had been tightly closed after he entered, and it was blocked with a crossbar.
The female shopkeeper lit an oil lamp, checked every corner again, blocked all the gaps with a coarse cloth, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Jing saw that she was about to speak after finishing her work, so he introduced himself first.
But unexpectedly, the female shopkeeper then put her finger to her lips and made a gesture to silence him.
When the sandstorm comes, everyone is in a hurry to go home and close the doors and windows. Lu Jing can understand this.
But he still had to keep his mouth shut, and he didn't quite understand why.
However, Lu Jing was currently participating in the assessment of the mysterious organization, and he had already mentally anticipated the strange situations that might occur. Coupled with the fact that you are in an unfamiliar environment for the first time, before you understand the situation, it is undoubtedly the wisest choice to do as the Romans do.
So after hearing this, he stopped talking.
The tailor shop became quiet again.
Only the wind outside the door became louder and louder.
The signboard was blown loudly, and the crackling sound of the sand became more intense.
In addition, the sand and dust are also mixed with some gravel.
Hitting a door or window will produce a banging sound, as if an uninvited guest is knocking and trying to get into the house.
But at least so far, Lu Jing didn't feel that this sandstorm was any different from ordinary sandstorms.
But the worried looks on the faces of the female shopkeeper and the waiter beside him clearly didn't seem to be fake.
As the storm became more violent, the female shopkeeper's hand tightened.
Seeing this, Lu Jing also calmed down and used the Little Vajra Energy to send his internal energy to the Tinggong and Ermen points.
The next moment, the world became clearer than ever before.
All movements within a radius of one mile were heard by Lu Jing.
And he finally heard some unusual sounds.
That was... the footsteps of an army on the march.
Low, neat, and rhythmic.
is coming here from a distance.
Every time they marched, a few small teams would break away from the large army and walk in different directions along different streets, as if they were patrolling the city.
However, Lu Jing could not imagine any army patrolling the city in such bad weather.
Every so often, one of the teams came to the door of the tailor shop.
Lu Jing heard footsteps and stopped outside the store door.
Then I heard the sound of palms hitting the door and window again.
Then the owners of those palms pressed their faces up, as if they wanted to peek in through the gaps.
It was only then that Lu Jing understood why the female shopkeeper had blocked every gap in the house.
It turns out she wasn't doing this to prevent sand from blowing into the house.
But what is now lying on the window door.
The female shopkeeper had already blown out the oil lamp in her hand, and huddled into a corner of the room with the waiter.
Lu Jing could hear their soaring heart rates.
It wasn't until the group outside the house left that the two of them gradually recovered, and the female shopkeeper lit the oil lamp again.
And just when she was about to breathe a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, a loud scream sounded in my ears!
The female shopkeeper was stunned by the scream.
There were three people in the room. The man had been following her for a long time and always knew the importance. Moreover, he was standing next to her now. The scream was obviously not from him.
As for Lu Jing, a foreigner who had just arrived here, the female shopkeeper stared at him the closest, her eyes almost never leaving Lu Jing. The latter was also very cooperative. From the moment she made a silent gesture, she never Say one more thing.
So whose scream is it now?
The next moment the female shopkeeper thought of something, and her expression suddenly changed.
By the way, there was a female customer in the store who was fainted by the coffin falling from the sky. She couldn't leave before the sandstorm came, so she was carried to a chair aside by the waiter.
But now he woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Lu Jing's shadow on the wall.
Thinking it was some kind of monster, I screamed subconsciously.
However, she realized something mid-scream and quickly covered her mouth.
Unfortunately, it was still a step too late.
The next moment, Lu Jing heard the footsteps disappearing outside the door and then returning.
But this time the owner of the footsteps did not open the door or window and look inside.
A machete struck directly on the door of the tailor shop!
The two-inch-thick door panel seemed to be made of paper in front of this scimitar, and it was cut through effortlessly!
Half of the blade poked out from the other side of the door panel!
It wasn't just the previous female guests who were screaming. The female shopkeeper and the waiter couldn't help but scream when they saw this scene!
His eyes were full of despair and fear!
And as if in response to their despair.
Immediately afterwards, two more scimitars struck the wooden door!
But in the blink of an eye, the wooden door was completely chopped into pieces!
Strong wind and yellow sand poured in from outside the door!
Also entering together was a tall warrior wearing a mask.
