As time goes by, zero and others feel increasingly heavy.
Counting from the time Bessie and Lake entered, an hour has passed now.
But they never came back.
"Sir, what should we do now?" Holmes asked in a low voice.
He was feeling a little impatient and wanted to rush in right now.
Again, the decision is not in his hands.
Zero looked solemn and chose to remain silent in the face of Holmes's answer.
At this moment, he was in a bit of a dilemma.
When choosing Bessie and Lake to be the pathfinders, Zero had already set three outcomes in his mind.
In the first case, everything goes very smoothly, the city-state is safe, Bessie and Lake can come out safely, and then they can go in together.
The second is when Bessie and Reik are unable to enter the city-state and are either expelled or directly killed. The guards on the city tower seem to be inappropriate. It is completely understandable that such a situation will happen.
But now it happened to be the third situation that Zero didn't want to encounter - Bessie and Lake both went in, but never came out.
After a brief thought, Zero decided to remain on hold.
He does want to enter the city-state, but he still needs more time to understand.
Going in hastily is not a wise choice.
He took two steps forward and looked directly at the tower.
He could feel a gaze staring directly at him.
Zero's mental activity at this moment is probably that hesitation may lead to defeat, but decisiveness will definitely be in vain.
"Actually, I think there's nothing wrong with us staying outside for the time being. If it's just those sand monsters, we can definitely deal with them." Sirt said.
Zero shook his head and said nothing.
He stared at the city-state with a bit of unconcealable fanaticism in his eyes, but neither Sirte nor the others noticed it.
I came here, of course, because there was something zero wanted to find.
The reason why he found the city-state was because it gave him the strongest feeling.
Zero's intuition told him that if he wanted to find what he was looking for, he had to enter the city-state, but before entering the city-state, he had to ensure that he was in a safe state.
Although it is said that people die for money and birds die for food, he doesn't really want to throw his life away here for what he needs.
It was already dark at this moment.
Sirt reminded again: "If we don't go in, the city gate may be closed later. By then, we won't even have the chance to go in."
"Then just stay outside, it's no big deal." Zero said with a smile.
He didn't pay much attention to Sirte's reminder.
After all, he wasn't in that much of a hurry.
And Sirt is like a prophet.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zero saw that the gates of the city-state in front of him really began to slowly close.
While the city gate was closing, the sky had completely darkened.
As the last ray of light dissipated, a gust of cold wind hit. Those brought by Holmes couldn't help but shiver. The sudden drop in temperature cast a shadow on everyone's hearts.
Looking at the closed city gate, Sirte opened his mouth, but he didn't say the last word, just let out a long sigh.
I don’t know why, but when I saw the city gate being closed, Sirte’s heart tightened for no reason.
"It's okay now, no need to worry about it anymore." A smile appeared on Zero's face. He turned to look at the person behind him and said, "Let's rest where we are and wait until daybreak."
"Yes." The others looked at each other and said nothing.
Holmes looked at the city-state, still worried about Bessie and Lake.
Especially Bessie.
They joined the organization almost at the same time. The two supported each other and have established a very deep relationship with each other.
In addition to the friendship between teammates, Holmes has always liked this hot girl in his heart.
It's just that there are too many people who like Bessie, but Bessie treats those people without any pretense and takes the initiative to alienate them.
Holmes feels that the current relationship is actually quite good.
Thinking that Bessie had not come out after entering the city-state before, and that they were unable to enter the city-state now, Holmes didn't know what was waiting for them after dawn.
During the long night, Zero and the two knights were obviously unwilling to waste time.
"I'm going to take a closer look, what about you?" Zero said looking at Sirt.
"I want to look around," Salt said.
Zero nodded and didn't force anything.
When Besirek headed towards the city gate before, he encountered no danger.
So Zero felt that there was no risk if he got closer and observed.
It doesn't matter whether Sirte comes with him or not.
Although he thought so in his heart, when Zero really approached the city-state, his speed was still very slow, and he always stared at the city tower, just to worry about the opponent suddenly launching a cold arrow.
Fortunately, this did not happen.
There seemed to be deathly silence around until zero came to the city wall.
He stretched out his hand and touched the city wall, the touch was so real.
But the feeling of being stared at by cold eyes still exists.
He raised his head and looked, but couldn't find the source of his gaze.
But at this moment, a shrill scream suddenly came from the darkness behind him.
Then, there were bursts of roars again.
Zero suddenly turned around and looked behind him.
That's where he is now.
in the dark.
A little red light flickered.
It seems like densely packed eyes.
Zero quickly rushed forward.
Although it doesn't matter if these people die, even if they are to die, it is not at this time.
You have to let them contribute first.
When Zero arrived, he saw that Holmes and others had been surrounded.
Sand monsters, countless sand monsters, were attacking them.
Fortunately, there are still two knights here, otherwise, Holmes and others might be completely torn to pieces by these monsters.
Just when Zero was about to step forward to help, he suddenly heard Sirte shouting.
"Retreat! Retreat! There are bugs! Damn it...what the hell is this!"
Zero was a little surprised when he heard this.
He knew Sirte's strength, but at this moment, he actually heard the panic in Sirter's tone.
When zero saw dense insects emerging from the sand, his cerebellum began to shrink.
insect!
Densely packed with bugs!
At first glance, the sand seems to have turned into an ocean, and the bugs are the waves that are pushing over quickly.
When he saw these bugs, Zero's heart skipped a beat.
Danger!
Immediately, a large swath of insects swallowed up a man. The man struggled for a while, but then turned into a pile of bones.
Everything happened too fast, and everyone who saw this scene was frightened.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!" Sirt said quickly.
He released a golden light, and his wild aura completely crushed the insects in front of him, but this did not bring much trouble to the insect tide. It was just a brief stagnation, and then densely packed insects crawled over again.
The killing seems to be endless.
"Follow me, hurry!" Sirt shouted at them, and then rushed towards the city gate.
Although the city gate is closed at this moment, they seem to have no other choice now.
Moreover, zero is in that place now. Even if there is no way to enter the city-state, it is still good to stay with zero.
When he saw Sirt running towards him with someone, Zero's face darkened.
He really wanted to shout at them, don't come over!
But when people face the threat of death, their rationality is gone. Even if they really want to stop them from coming, it doesn't seem to have any effect.
Zero stepped back and stared into the darkness.
He always felt that there seemed to be a more terrifying existence in the darkness, staring at him.
But in front of them, the biggest threat to them was the densely packed insects.
They move extremely fast on the sand. If you slow down a little, you will be crawled all over your body, and then it will instantly turn into a pile of bones.
There wasn't even a chance to struggle.
What surprised Zero even more.
When they came to the city gate, a gap appeared in the originally closed city gate.
A pale head stuck out from inside, staring straight at him with a weird smile.
"I said, you all have to come in..."
