Thirteenth month of death

Chapter 151 Paradise
The group walked down the slope along the path, passing many farmlands planted with crops. Seeing this, Tang Lun and the other two were about to cry.

Since the outbreak of the pest plague, the soil quality has also undergone unexplained changes. Large areas of land are no longer suitable for growing crops, but have instead become fertile ground for poisonous and harmful plants.

Currently, the locations of human settlements are built around land that can be used for farming.

And in this valley surrounded by mountains, there were farmlands stretching out one after another as far as the eye could see! The three of them could almost smell the fragrance of the crops.

There were also people busy in the fields, either bending down to clear weeds or applying fertilizer and controlling insects.

Tang Lun couldn't help but greet the people while standing at the edge of the field:
"excuse me……"

The people in the field stopped what they were doing and slowly raised their heads to look at Tang Lun.

His smile was so warm that Tang Lun subconsciously smiled in a friendly way as well. "What's the name of your gathering place?"

The man in the field was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then he smiled and replied, "Tanlong."

Tanlong?

"Tanlong Gathering Place..." Tang Lun repeated the name. He had never heard of it before...

Could it be that they have been isolated in the mountains for too long and have never had any contact with the outside world?

"Thank you!"

Tang Lun thanked them and signaled everyone to move on.

Not only Tang Lun, but his two fellow investigators were also immersed in joy, and seemed to have completely forgotten the weirdness here.

It is clearly night outside, so how could the sky here be sunny and daytime?
It was just a journey of less than half an hour across a pass, so such a big change was impossible.

Li Daosheng and the other two were extremely alert. Even Ren Ou, who never liked to talk, warned them, "It's very dangerous here."

In his field of vision, red warning texts were popping up everywhere.

This Tanlong gathering place is definitely not as beautiful as it appears on the surface.

With different thoughts in mind, the group finally bypassed the farmland and entered the village.

There are more people in the village, coming and going in an endless stream.

Some of them carried farm tools on their shoulders, some carried fruits and vegetables in their hands, some opened shops and shouted, and some seemed to be maintaining law and order and patrolling around.

This is a small but well-equipped society.

The few people who had just experienced a life-and-death situation and whose emotions had not yet recovered felt even more awkward about it.

But Tang Lun and the other two had completely gone crazy.

Without even saying hello to Li Daosheng and the other two, they grabbed a passerby and asked, "Excuse me, who is your leader? Where is he?"

But the person who was held ignored them completely. After breaking free, he looked at Tang Lun and the other two with a strange look on his face and walked away quickly.

"Three of you, we still have some things to investigate, so we'll take our leave first." Tang Lun glanced at Li Daosheng and the other two, and his mind became clearer.

"You saved our lives, and the three of us have no way to repay you. This is a good gathering place, even better than the Red Sun gathering place. You can stay here."

As soon as Tang Lun finished speaking, Li Daosheng asked, "Do you think it's safe here? Don't forget, we only had to pass through a pass to get from outside the mountain to the inside, and it took less than 30 minutes. How could it be sunny here?"

Tang Lun and the other two shook their heads. "This isn't hard to explain. The person in charge of this gathering place must be quite capable. They must have acquired some of the abilities of the royal pests, thus changing the environment here."

"Are you so sure?" After all, they had walked half the distance together, and these three people were not bad people. Li Daosheng still wanted to persuade them.

Unexpectedly, Tang Lun and the other two nodded in unison with absolute certainty. "You three are outsiders, so you might not know. But we three can sense that this place is indeed run by humans, and the person in charge is very powerful and a very capable person."

"What if it's a bug?" Li Daosheng's hypothesis, while unpleasant to the ear, was a necessary truth. "You came here to investigate, following the prophet's orders, knowing that a royal pest was about to emerge from the Miro Valley. And now you've discovered this human settlement hidden within the Miro Valley. Don't you think this is too much of a coincidence?" The three exchanged glances and nodded. "You're right, so we need to continue deeper and meet the person in charge first."

These three people are determined, and it is obvious that there is no point in talking them over.

However, at the moment, apart from speculation and the fact that night turned into day in a short period of time, Li Daosheng really could not produce any convincing evidence.

After all, at a glance here, all you can see is a scene of people living and working in peace and contentment, enjoying a harmonious and harmonious atmosphere.

It is definitely a paradise.

Li Daosheng even quietly asked Huaque, who had already dispersed his insects, but concluded that the place was very clean, without dead air, blood, or filth, and that there was nothing abnormal about it for the time being.

But Ren Ou's condition was very wrong. Li Daosheng had never seen him so tense.

Tang Lun and the other two left.

Li Daosheng tried to persuade him, but to no avail.

He, Ren Ou and Hua Que found a restaurant on the street. It was just an ordinary noodle restaurant, but in this kind of place, in this kind of world, it was quite unexpected to have a noodle restaurant.

When the shopkeeper came up to greet them, Li Daosheng observed him covertly for several times, and Hua Que even secretly let the insect crawl into the shopkeeper's clothes.

After someone ordered a bowl of noodles, the shopkeeper left. Hua Que shook his head at Li Daosheng and said, "Nothing unusual."

Indeed... nothing unusual.

"Ren Ou, what do you think?" Li Daosheng looked at Ren Ou.

Ren Ou looked at Li Daosheng and Hua Que seriously and said, "It's dangerous."

"Where is the danger?" asked Huaque.

Ren Ou's eyes swept across everything within his sight: "Everywhere is dangerous."

This……

We can only take one step at a time.

After the noodles arrived, the shopkeeper said with a smile, "Are you three guests from outside?"

"Yes," Li Daosheng looked down at the noodles. They were very fragrant and clean vegetarian noodles with two slices of green vegetables. He asked curiously, "Have there been other guests from outside?"

"I have been here, a day earlier than you. I arrived yesterday and am staying in the hotel over there."

The shopkeeper pointed to the south.

I just asked casually, and it turns out there is really one?
Could it be...

The three of them looked at each other.

"Boss, how do you pay the bill here?" Li Daosheng asked.

He did it on purpose. They definitely didn't have any money, but he still ordered noodles just to create some noise and see what would happen next.

Unexpectedly, the shop owner's answer surprised everyone.

"Pay the bill? No, no, no... You don't have to pay." The shopkeeper shook his head repeatedly.

"In Tanlong, everyone helps each other, produces together, works together, and takes whatever they need."

At this point, he added: "All the stores here are like this."
