Chapter 148 Arrival at the Tourist City
Having been robbed of fifty White Notes for a tube of ointment, Xu Huo applied it to his wound in an act that was almost like venting his frustration.
However, the ointment was indeed effective. The broken skin quickly scabbed over, painless and itch-free. Although it wasn’t as potent as a Self-Healing Potion, this was an ointment that could be bought cheaply, and its value far exceeded its price.
The vehicle crossed the hanging bridge, and ahead was a partitioned zone.
On either side of the main road, glass barriers created an enclosed area. After passing through an automatic disinfection zone, the vehicle entered the sealed area, where passengers could observe the surroundings through the glass on both sides.
To the left were city ruins. Among the broken walls and crumbling structures, heads would occasionally pop out. As the vehicle moved forward, oddly shaped Aliens emerged quietly, attempting to break through the glass.
It appeared this glass was made of special materials; their evolved long claws and sharp teeth could only leave superficial scratches.
The vehicle deliberately drove close to the glass. Whenever an Alien lunged forward, one couldn’t help but feel a sense of crisis as if it would break free, causing several people who witnessed this scene for the first time to cry out in surprise.
Most of the tourists were used to it. The sight of the Aliens preying was less amusing than the sight of the same car’s passengers being frightened, which made everyone tease them until their faces turned red with embarrassment.
"Everyone, please look to the right. Up ahead, they are carrying out a clam harvesting operation," said the long-faced guide at that moment.
Xu Huo turned his head along with the others and first saw a purple sea on the ground. Unlike what he saw in pictures, with the naked eye, the purple surface of the water had a layer of iridescent colors floating on it, resembling oil, and the water itself lost its vitality, flowing sluggishly.
