Chapter 680: The Small Town of Centrória


Walking along Highway 61, Long Yun quickly arrived at a dilapidated bridge, just an old-fashioned steel suspension bridge, but it looked in disrepair, and it had been broken in the middle, Long Yun walked on the bridge, and the bridge made a creaking sound, as if it was going to collapse completely in the next second.

He had to give up on crossing the bridge from here, and see that there was a path that winded into the distance, but the road seemed to be in a bad condition, but it was better than taking this dangerous bridge.

So, Long Yun continued along the path.

The trail was not easy to walk, the road looked like it hadn't been walked for years, most of the asphalt had hardened, the road was cracked, and what was even more strange was that white smoke rose from the middle of the gale and floated up into the sky as if it were steam.

The place was silent, and the atmosphere was extremely eerie, except for the occasional unknown bird call from the woods, Long Yun felt like death all around.

Who the hell is going on here?

This question has been accompanied by Long Yun as he walked through this path, passing through an overgrown open field, and suddenly a small town appeared in front of him.

In fact, Long Yun noticed that a red warning sign with "arng" written on it was thrown in the grass, and he built it to wipe off the dust on it, only to see the words "Strictly forbidden to enter the town".

Looking around, Long Yun found a very strange thing, the trees and grass here are basically withered and yellow, lifeless, as if lacking water, and the scorched black bark can be faintly seen on the tree, as if it has been burned by the fire.

"Damn, I'm not allowed to go in yet."

Long Yun threw away the warning sign, thinking to himself, could it be that the prisoners here put up a sign to warn others not to provoke him, which made Long Yun puzzled, you know, Dulin Prison is full of crazy people or bloodthirsty madmen and the like, they want someone to enter their territory and regard the living as their target, how can anyone be kind enough to erect a warning sign to remind others not to approach The prisoners in this cell are in a small town Long Yun turned off the night vision device, now it is pitch black, the houses scattered on the side of the road in the town reveal dim lights, there is no sun here, even if the prisoner makes a scene, he can't make the sky, unlike the cell he entered for the first time, the scene here is completely made by the prisoner himself, not a natural phenomenon simulated by the alchemist through alchemy technology.

Anyway, there is still a period of time before Fan Jian and them find themselves, even if Fan Jian and they arrive at this cell, I am afraid that they will have to face to face with the unknown prisoner who is the owner here, otherwise they will not be able to get out of here, it is better to explore the situation by themselves first and see where the sacred place lives here.

Having made up his mind, Long Yun decided to enter the town to have a look.

As soon as I walked a short distance, I saw a sign standing in the grass on the side of the road.

So I hurriedly stepped forward to see what was written on it, and when I saw it, I was a little surprised.

It turned out that the sign was not a warning slogan, but a place name tra1ia.

"Centrolia Town", translated into Chinese, is this name.

"It turns out that this place is called Centrória" Long Yun hurriedly turned on the communication channel and asked Lena: "Beauty, I have a place name in this cell, you can help me check it, it seems to be a small town called Centoria in Pennsylvania, USA, what is the origin of it, you can see if you can help me find out what guy is locked up here." ” "It's easy to have a place name, you wait."

The potato chip girl chewed a few bites of her beloved potato chips, and there was the sound of her fingers flying on the keyboard, and after a while, Lena replied: "This town is an uninhabited town, the name is correct, it is called Centrória, since 1962, the residents there have begun to evacuate, and now the location is no longer inhabited in the town, and even the code of the post office box has been canceled by the US government." ” "No Man's Town" Long Yun has doubts floating in his heart, "Why did the residents evacuate" "There's a story here."

Lena crunched on potato chips and retold the information to Long Yun: "This town was founded in 1866 as a coal mining area, and it was at its peak in the 19th century.

In June 1962, the coal mine located under the town was inadvertently ignited, and the temperature of the town soared, toxic gases gushed out from the ground, a large number of plant rhizomes were scorched, and the town's residents were forced to evacuate one after another.

In the days that followed, the townspeople6 died in various bizarre fires and accidents, and finally had to abandon the town in 72 years and be evacuated by the government.

Now there is no one there, and it has become a ghost town. ” "Who caused the accident?"

"It is said that a small town sanitation worker, after cleaning a few streets as usual, sent garbage to a landfill for burial, which turned out to be converted from an abandoned mine, and the sanitation workers lit a pile of garbage as usual, and then went about to do other things, and the abandoned mine happened to have an exposed anthracite vein.

In addition, it was June, and in 1962, Pennsylvania experienced an unprecedented drought due to very little rainfall, so at this specific time and place, the underground fires burned and never stopped.

Lena said.

"Well, there's really a story."

Long Yun thought for a while and said: "I don't think it's that simple, you don't need to look for official information, I suggest you go find the CIA's database or the military, and let Troy do it, I guess you will find something interesting, remember to inform me when the time comes." ” "Okay, give me some time, although we have installed a backdoor on both the DOD and CIA systems, it still takes a little time to enter, so as not to attract the attention of the human government."

Lena said lightly, "I'll let you know when it's done." ” Cutting off communication with Lena, Long Yun took out his telescope and looked at the town in the distance, and watched for ten minutes without any movement.

There are no people, no animals, nothing, and the town is like the remains of a dead man, which has been buried in the grave for many years, and there is not a little life at all.

"Accident" Long Yun sighed, shook his head, and thought, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple.

It's been a few months since he joined the Sky Curtain Company, and he has heard some rumors to some extent, plus an ancient secret organization like the Presbyterian Church or the Restoration Society, once something happens, he will definitely settle the matter through various government relations, erase all traces, silence the media, and let the aftermath personnel like Professor Christian be sent to brainwash to erase the memories of all witnesses, and then create a natural accident to divert the public's attention.

This kind of method has been tried and tested repeatedly, Long Yun feels that this Centorian town is probably also a product of this kind, what about the spontaneous combustion of the underground coal mine, and this time he also pulled out a sanitation worker as a substitute for the dead, it is also quite funny to think about it.

Long Yun suddenly became interested in the monster in the town, the prisoner here, the master here, what kind of character he was.

Along the path, he began to walk towards the center of the town, and at the same time, he began to unleash the natural power in his body, improving his sight and hearing to the extreme, preventing the guy hiding in the shadows from sneaking up on him
