The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 164 — City of Noula : Disease Outbreaks (1)
During the day, Lian Haocun along with Lian Huanran and the others, headed to the reception and completion of the mission. On the way to the place, Lian Haocun and his group, cross paths with Guan Hong and his group.
The two groups, continuing on as if nothing had happened, however, Lian Huanran could feel clearly, the tense atmosphere between them.
Naturally, Lian Huanran did not recognize who the black-haired and black-eyed man who looked extremely respected by the five people beside him was. Thus, he could only open a conversation with Long Yuan and Yun Shao, to ease the tense atmosphere at hand. That is, the two groups that walk side by side, cool with each other's interactions.
After arriving at the reception and completion of the mission, the officer asked a few pleasantry questions, then asked Lian Haocun and her group, to use the teleportation talisman and teleport to the outskirts of Noula City. The officer also requested the same to Guan Hong and his group.
Before moving places, the memory of what happened one day ago, flashed through Lian Haocun's mind. Yesterday, there was a white dove that again knocked on the window of the dormitory of Lian Haocun, Long Yuan, Yun Shao and Qian Wenwu. The dove, delivered a message from Chao Bence, who had returned to Vekado City to take care of business ‘HaoRan’.
The essence of the message is, ‘Disease outbreak in Noula City is allegedly an act of the demon race that has not shown itself for so long.’
Lian Haocun was quite surprised to find out, then asked Chao Bence to investigate further. After that, he began to search for more information, by reading the scrolls of information provided by the admissions and completion officers of the mission. From the information on the scroll, Lian Haocun got an idea of what was happening in Noula City.
There have been outbreaks of infectious diseases spreading in Noula City and villages around the city. It is not known who first contracted the disease, and when it began to spread. However, the Jade Wolf Sect knew of the outbreak of this disease from four days ago.
Because, exactly six days ago, Noula City and the surrounding villages, isolated ‘diri’ from the outside world. There were no people who wanted to stop by, who were allowed to enter Noula City, as well as other villages. Noula City also did not allow anyone who had entered Noula City, to leave.
Their attitude seemed to reject outsiders six days ago, but it was certain that, before, the attitude of Noula City and the surrounding villages to outsiders could be said to be quite friendly.
Noula City is located quite close to Wolvenbont City and Pascima City. However, even though it was close, it took several weeks to a month more to reach Noula City, so the Jade Wolf Sect obviously did not want to waste time on the journey, either, giving teleportation talismans to the students who will be assigned a mission.
They were in the tenth, teleporting to the outskirts of Noula City. The city of Noula was quite small among the other cities that Lian Haocun had seen.
Noula City looked like a city in general, but strangely, although it was still day, the sun that should have shone on Noula City was covered by dark, gloomy clouds, so that the place looks like at night, and gives a pretty creepy impression.
Not only that, strangely again, even though it was not raining, there were thunderbolts that struck endlessly. Long Yuan felt those lightning bolts gave a bad omen.
Because of those lightning bolts as well, the atmosphere of Noula City which was already gloomy and dark, became even more gloomy and dark. It even creates a bit of horror.
Lian Huanran felt, Noula City felt very gloomy, as if there was an evil aura surrounding Noula City and the nearby villages. Meanwhile, Qian Wenwu's forehead instantly wrinkled when he saw Noula City.
Yun Shao realized this, and asked, “Why?”
Due to the quiet atmosphere, a single word of question from Yun Shao, caught the attention of everyone who was there.
