Since The Red Moon Appeared

"Um?"

Lu Xin looked at the gecko with some doubts, and didn't quite understand what it meant.

The gecko lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being heard by others, and said in a low voice: "Brother, our Qinggang City is quite powerful now, and the major forces around and the abandoned city have all explored almost, even if there is no exploration. When it’s over, I understand a little bit.”

"But in addition to these places, there are some very mysterious places that I don't know about so far."

He looked at Lu Xin and said, "A place like this is called a mysterious forbidden area!"

"restricted area?"

Lu Xin frowned slightly and said, "Has no one explored it before?"

"Explore, and explore many times!"

The gecko frowned and whispered: "But whether it is the wasteland reclamation team, or the researchers and armed personnel sent out from the city, once they enter the restricted area, they will either go crazy or disappear. Bring back any useful information..."

"If the only useful information they brought back from this kind of exploration is: this place is not to be explored!"

"Because I don't know anything about it, these places are called mysterious restricted areas!"

"..."

Having said this, Gecko tapped the map lightly, increasing his tone.

"The place you mentioned is one of them, and the most dangerous one."

"I heard people say that this place once devoured a fully-armed 100-person wasteland reclamation team. Behind those people were generous investors, who equipped them with the most advanced equipment and the most powerful firepower. In addition, there was an information team in time. They communicated with the outside world, but after they entered, they also suddenly lost all contact, and since then, no one has seen them again..."

"..."

Lu Xin listened to Gecko's words quietly, and looked in the rearview mirror.

Mom also listened to Gecko's words with great interest, noticed Lu Xin's look, and she smiled.

"It's a great place to travel..."

While talking, he touched his sister's little head: "Are you right?"

"Uh-huh!"

The sister nodded vigorously, her eyes a little excited.

Lu Xin sighed softly, nodded slightly, and said to the gecko, "Let's go then!"

Gecko stared at Lu Xin with wide eyes, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

Lu Xin explained seriously: "Whether it is a restricted area or not, people still have to be caught."

...

...

"Report the latest action route. After investigation, we learned that Qin Ran, the main culprit of the 8.18 incident in Qinggang No. 2 Satellite City, is very likely to hide in Happy Town. The Qinggang Special Action Team member individual soldiers suggested that the action team enter Happy Town and continue. investigation……"

"...Yes, as the vice-captain, I have expressed different opinions and even severely criticized him!"

"It's useless, he's the captain, and he insists..."

"Hey, what do you mean by being careful? Shouldn't you continue to persuade us?"

"Oh, alright."

"..."

Seeing that Lu Xinfeng said lightly that he was going to Happy Town and brought Qin Ran back, the gecko was furious.

He didn't dare to refuse, and he didn't even dare to show that he wanted to refuse.

But when he finally drove to an empty area, he set up a signal receiver with great anticipation under the pretext of reporting the work progress to the headquarters, and then dialed the satellite phone of the headquarters. Lu Xin didn't pay much attention to how they talked, but only heard a few intermittent words that suddenly raised his voice, and then saw the gecko fiddling with some electronic devices.

Above the wilderness, communication work is very troublesome, and Lu Xin can't help but start to miss life in the city.

After a while, the gecko finally came back with low eyebrows and drooping eyes, and his footsteps were a little weak.

"What did they say?"

Lu Xin also asked Gecko with some concern.

The gecko weakly handed over a tablet with an iron frame, and the voice was desperate:

"They passed the information directly over..."

"I also said that it's good to explore these mysterious areas by the way, and bringing the records back can also be used as a mission..."

"..."

"what?"

Hearing this, Lu Xin was a little surprised.

Then he took the tablet with a smile and said to the gecko, "Then hurry up, I'll watch it in the car."

...

...

Gecko really doesn't want to drive because he doesn't want to go to that unknown and scary place.

But he didn't dare not to drive, because he felt that he had little right to speak in this crowded carriage...

While sitting in the car, Lu Xin slowly flipped through the information on the tablet.

There is very little information, and I don't know whether it is because of being in the wilderness, the information is not easy to pass, or because of the lack of information itself.

The first document, just a photo of a simple document with some information on it:

S-Class Mysterious Restricted Area - Happy Town

Location: End of Route 85

Introduction: This area is an extremely dangerous area, covering an area of ​​about 50 square kilometers. Near this area, a strong mental force field can be detected. Approaching the edge of the mental force field, various reactions such as dizziness, irritability, coma, auditory hallucinations, and spasms of hands and feet will occur. Go deep into the psychic force field for 50 meters, you will not be able to return, and will disappear from the sight of all witnesses.

When electronic instruments are close to the mental force field, there will be circuit system failures and signal disturbances.

Cause: unknown

Pollution level: unknown

Valid Exploration Records: None

...

...

"There is still such information, it looks so unprofessional..."

Lu Xin couldn't help shaking his head, then scrolled to the second page and found a photo on it.

The photo was taken from an abandoned road in an area that looked extremely empty.

The weather was overcast, like fog, and everything seemed unclear.

But it seems to be to prove that this is not a problem with the lens. In the lower left corner of the photo, a small fish tank is specially placed. There is an electronic time display on the fish tank, which was taken two years ago. The fish tank was photographed very clearly, and the algae and red goldfish in it could be clearly seen, but going deeper, you could only see ripples like distorted air.

No specific content at all.

Scrolling to the third page, I saw a photo of a person wearing a light blue one-piece overalls. He looked like a worker in a chemical factory. He was about twenty years old, and his face was revealed. He smiled happily and looked at the camera blankly.

Below the photo is the caption: Happy Town Residents.

Turning another page, there are handwritten notes taken, which seem to be some legends about the happy town.

The exact time of the town's appearance is unknown, and the earliest anomaly was discovered ten years ago.

The town is isolated from the rest of the world and has few people to communicate with.

But occasionally, there will be town residents going out, taking food and exchanging some salt, cloth, hoes and other supplies with the people outside.

Because the residents of Happy Town always have unchanging smiles on their faces, it is called "Happy Town"!

...

Finally, there is a paragraph marked in red:

For the study of Happy Town, every time it will bring immeasurable losses.

None of the researchers who entered the spiritual energy field of Happy Town survived.

Electronic exploration devices such as drones and mechanical dogs also lost all signals immediately after entering the spiritual energy field.

Someone once detained the residents of Happy Town when they went out to exchange salt for interrogation.

Interrogation result: Happy Town residents were unable to answer complex questions.

That night, the residents of Happy Town, the interrogators, and the research reports disappeared at the same time without a trace...
