Clouds still loom over Brudenburg, and a car is speeding down a desolate city street.
Collins and his animal companion sat in the back seat of the impala, who looked unusually honest, with his paws on the back of the chair and tilting his head to look out the window.
So far, Donnie hasn't found anything wrong, and according to Collins, the problem isn't in the city. So Donnie planned to visit the outskirts of Brudenburg.
Gradually, Donnie and the others noticed that something was wrong.
Along the way, the city was apparently not foggy, but the edges of the city were covered in a thin fog.
The white mist between the buildings inevitably affects people's vision.
In otherworldly worlds, fog or a specific moon phase is always associated with mystery, often meaning that something good or bad is unknown.
Donnie can be said to know this very well, after all, he himself can turn into a cloud of mist with special powers.
"After the Titan was sealed, we tried to communicate with the outside world and inform the headquarters of what was happening here, but we all failed." Corinth's voice suddenly rang out, shattering the silence.
At this time, it was not only Donnie who had some strange feelings, but also Lawrence and the paper goblins, and Duo Duo kept looking left and right.
Downey nodded, the agents had done this before, but they had not been able to contact other places, including leaving Brudenburg directly, and the agents who were going to other cities did not respond.
"Donn, I have a bad feeling." Lawrence slowed down, and by this time they were already driving towards the edge of the city, and the fog was getting heavier, and although it wasn't enough to block and interfere with their view, it was always wrong to slow down.
Collins then pointed ahead and said, "When we used to fight those disgusting weirdos, we blocked them here, and the outer areas were abandoned. ”
Fort 13 had abandoned the surrounding area of Brudenburg during the previous battle, and because of this, there are still traces of restoration in the area.
However, with the exception of the side facing the ocean, the attacks were not severe, and the transcendents on the human side quickly ended the battle.
And now, the place has been shrouded in mist, the fog seems to be fine, and the people who are moving in it are normal and unaffected.
But none of Downey and the others thought that the fog was just a natural phenomenon, as Fort Thirteen had tried before.
"I've heard Pepps tell me that they sent people out after they found out they were out of contact, and there was fog at that point. We didn't get any reply, and no one else came back from outside, so in a state of unease, Pips sent men to walk out of the edge of the city until they couldn't see the way and turned back. ”
"The fog gets thicker and thicker the farther out, that's why they made such a move, but their plan failed."
Collins is also faintly uneasy now, the perception of transcendent life is generally stronger, the stronger the strength, the greater the promotion, and the vampire itself is also relatively strong, so when he looks at the white mist in the distance, his heart is a little uneasy.
"None of the people who went out came back, and Pipps didn't know why. Some have also tried to disperse the fog, but have failed. So everyone suspects that it's the weird hands and feet. ”
It's not impossible to have such fog on the water, but it shouldn't be the case in cities.
Downey didn't say anything, it was already obvious now that it couldn't be a naturally occurring fog.
"Corinth, it's not too late to go back, you can go back with the Duo." Donnie thought about it, it wasn't really much use to keep him, and the current situation made him have to try, if possible, he would leave Brudenburg directly with Lawrence, but it depended on Lawrence's intentions.
It's not impossible to take Corinth, it's just that the news he knows is basically over.
There was a moment of silence for the tool man, Corinth, who had not wanted to stay with Donnie earlier, but when he saw the situation on the edge of Brudenburg with his own eyes, he realized that the reality was more serious than the half-elf agents had said.
Donnie made it clear that he would not return to Fort Thirteen, and of course he could go back on his own, but then he would have lost a good chance to leave here, and besides, the task given to him by the half-elf had not been completed.
"Bamblour has said that I will accompany you both the whole time, and if you are leaving Brudenburg, I want to leave with you. After all, we need to know what's going on outside. ”
Donnie expected Collins to leave happy, but instead of doing so, he offered to join Downey and the others.
"What do you see? I'm going with you, I don't have to stay here anymore. Lawrence looked at Donnie and asked, he didn't think there was much of a problem with the fog.
Donnie hesitated for a moment, then looked at Collins and nodded, "In that case, you can come with us." ”
Although he didn't like to be around vampires, and was even a little allergic to the weirdness, Collins was an agent at Fort Thirteen, so Donnie eventually won his request.
Collins closed the door, and Lawrence continued to drive the impala through the fog, in fact, he could already walk at this time, because Lawrence's vision had begun to be affected by the fog, and he could no longer see as far as before.
As otherworldly beings, Lawrence and the Paper Elf, as well as Collins in the back seat, were affected by the strange fog, causing their vision to be obstructed.
If he continues, Downey thinks he'll probably be affected as well.
At this moment, the houses on the side of the road have become very sparse, and only one house can be seen at intervals, and both sides of the road are very empty.
Brudenburg is indeed a small area, and it didn't take long for Collins to remind: "We have left Brudenburg, and this direction leads to the city of Denia, which is about an hour and a half away." ”
According to Collins, there are two more towns that should be passed next.
Lawrence nodded, and was just about to speak, when Donnie, who had been keeping his eyes closed since just now, suddenly opened his eyes.
Donnie had a look of confusion on his face, and Lawrence was sitting next to him, so he noticed his anomaly right away.
"What's wrong with you?"
Donnie didn't speak, his eyes looked out the window. He knew that the fog was abnormal, but he and Lawrence still prepared to leave, and even took Collins and a transcendent shepherd dog with him.
There's a reason for that, as the Endless Road can take them across space and directly into other cities.
