Debris was scattered everywhere. There are tal scraps of what seed like vehicles in the past. Cracks also filled the walls of every building in sight. They could also see heaps of garbage. Strange enough, there was no sight of Apokalips within hundreds of ters.
"So this is the so-called capital of the 3rd Wall. It was really razed to the ground by Apokalips." Caleb's gaze stayed particularly on the tal scraps of vehicles. He could recognize them. They are cars... Why won't he recognize them when he died brutally inside in his first life?
As this thought passed through his mind. He couldn't help but shudder. Then he began to study the structures around him.
hundreds of dilapidated buildings, standing as silent witnesses to the passage of ti. These structures, once bustling with life and purpose, have succumbed to the relentless march of years.
The buildings, with their weathered facades and crumbling exteriors, display a haunting beauty in their decay. Many of their roofs have caved in, revealing the skeletal remains of wooden beams. Broken windows, their glass long shattered, gape like hollow eyes into the past. Moss and creeping vines have claid sections of the walls, adding a touch of green to the sea of grays and browns.
Walking through this forsaken landscape, you'll find remnants of lives once lived. Broken furniture, its varnish worn away by ti, litters the interiors. Tattered curtains sway gently in the breeze that finds its way through the shattered windows. Faded wallpaper peels from the walls, exposing the faded mories of a bygone era.
The silence is palpable, save for the occasional creak of a loose floorboard underfoot or the rustling of a scavenging animal. Nature and decay have intertwined to create a lancholic shitty atmosphere that made the team seven quiet, where the passage of ti is on full display. These dilapidated buildings, while crumbling, stand as proof of the domineering invasion of the Apokalips. Still, it shows the enduring spirit of the places and people they once sheltered, and they evoke a sense of both nostalgia and solemnity.
"Well, there seems to be no living being here." On the side of what seems to be a clinic, Kazuto wiped the glass of a broken window with his white cloth. The cloth literally beca dark as he did so. "Damn..."
Caleb and Shu stood side by side as they began to observe everything. Shu didn't believe that there was no living being in such a vast city.
"Well, how about we part ways? Rozho and I will go in the other direction?" Shu couldn't help but propose. They will go anywhere if they scour the city in a group. That would be too slow.

Caleb raised his eyebrow at this mont. He was aware of the truth. Every ti groups like them scatter, it doesn't usually end well. "No. That would be too risky... Don't you think? Let's say you two encounter a Tier 8... Are you confident of escaping from it?"
"I know." Shu sighed. "However, if we don't part, how many hours would it take for us to find that thing?"
"Actually, what did captain want us to find? He didn't even describe or give us any hint. How are we supposed to find it?" With a helpless sigh, Caleb looked at the sky that was about to darken.
Fucker! He felt that Roger was playing with them! After all, the bastard just said, "You would know once you saw it." Type of face to them.
"I think it must be conspicuous, at least. If we don't find it. The other team would surely secretly mock us. They're just bitter because they can't do anything to you." Kidd let out a soft chuckle.
F**k you! How could it have anything to do with him?
Though, Caleb knew that Kidd was right. Most of the scouts dislike him. They were just afraid to say anything in his presence but would find an opportunity to talk badly to his back. For such a kind of behavior, he was disdainful. Instead of focusing on how to beco stronger, they rather gossip about other people. Such an attitude won't get too far on the path of power.
Just like that, the group decided to follow Caleb's suggestion, even if it was slow. They walked on the road, walked on a ssy road filled with scraps of tals and debris. They stopped on the road called "Feng Shuan Road." Then there was a three-story building in its center that caught their attention.
Yes, a fucking three-story building, showing signs of age and neglect, stands before them. The wooden exterior, darkened by years of exposure to the elents, appears weathered and worn.
As they approach, they notice the wood is gray and shows its age. So parts have broken, leaving gaps in the building's surface. The windows are dirty, making it difficult to see inside.
The building's condition suggests it has been abandoned for a long ti. Its appearance, with its dark and weathered exterior.
Upon closer inspection, you notice that so sections of the wooden siding have eroded, leaving gaps that provide a glimpse of the interior. The building's windows, although still intact, are veiled in a thick layer of gri, making it nearly impossible to discern anything within.
Approaching the entrance, Caleb can't shake the feeling of foreboding that the building exudes. Its dilapidated state and aged appearance hint at secrets locked away within its weathered walls. It appears as though it has been abandoned for many years.
"Let guess... We will enter that creep shit, aren't we?"
Kidd sighed.
Shu nodded and pointed at the broken window with a dark expression. "It seems we're not alone."
Caleb and the others looked at the window, pointed at Shu, and saw a silhouette of a humanoid. However, they couldn't see its appearance at all, since the bastard was covered in darkness.
"My god! Is there another survivor here!?" Kazuto was stunned.
Who would have known that they would encounter humans?
"You there. Can you show yourself? We are from the city. Don't worry, we welco survivors outside." Shu imdiately attempted to communicate.
However, the silhouette took a step back and disappeared.
"Well, it seems our guy there is shy, or maybe you scared him. Hahaha! Let's go, that poor fellow must be afraid." Kazuto smiled.
