Chapter 138: The Scavengers
Standing quietly in place, looking at the scene in front of her, the gray-robed girl only felt stiff and didn't dare to move.
Opposite her, the crow, half of its body completely corroded, stood silently on the fence on the outskirts of the village, its scarlet eyes with indifference, and suddenly looked in the other direction.
"Huh?"
Noticing this change, the girl's heart subconsciously rejoiced: "It's leaving?"
A slight sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind him, so abrupt in the quiet surroundings.
The footsteps were slight, but regular, as if something was moving behind the girl, coming towards her.
Such a terrifying scene suddenly made the gray-robed girl change color.
But she didn't dare to move, because the crow in front of her was still watching, and at this time it had opened its mouth, revealing its jagged fangs, which looked terrifying against the small half of its rotten body.
The footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer, and when the girl's heart was almost desperate, the black crow in front of her moved.
It spread its wings, and with a strong smell of corrosion, flew quickly, targeting the girl's back.
Dumb!
Suppressed voices rang out all around, faintly with the sound of collision.
But after a while, the footsteps behind him did not stop, but became clearer and clearer, as if something was approaching the girl.
The girl was desperate in her heart, and she could already predict her next fate.
As if she had made a decision, she took a deep breath and looked directly behind her.
The scene in front of her made her stunned.
There was no imaginary terrifying monster, at this time, five or six meters behind her, a handsome young man with a long sword on his waist, dressed in a black robe, was standing there quietly, holding a black crow with a body length of more than half a meter in his hand.
"You... Is it a man or a monster?"
Secretly swallowed his saliva, and saw Adil's appearance clearly, the fear in the girl's eyes decreased slightly, and she asked in a slurred manner.
Standing opposite her, looking at the appearance of the girl in front of her, Adiel's face was calm, he just glanced at the girl in front of him quietly, did not reply, and walked directly to the side.
After opening the World Gate, Adil was teleported here.
The sight in front of him felt somewhat familiar, the village he had been in the last time he had left this world, but it had changed dramatically.
"It seems that the location you teleported to after opening the World Gate should be the same as the last time you left. ”
Standing on the edge of the village, looking at the vaguely familiar village in front of him, Adil couldn't help but think.
Compared to a few years ago, the village in front of me has changed a lot, except for some ruins, there are some decaying waste materials everywhere, and there are dried up blood stains.
After casually glancing around, Adil noticed several unusual places: "There is not a single sign of life around the village, not only are there no plants growing, not even some bugs can be found. ”
"The weathering around is so bad that it's been a few years at most since I last visited, but looking around, it looks like no one has been here for decades. ”
Casually walked to a huge stone slab, there was a deep crack in it, which he had personally drawn with his sword, and now it had completely changed.
The surroundings seem to have undergone some changes, and the village seems very strange, not only is there no limit to life around, but there are all kinds of cold atmospheres constantly permeating.
Just standing on the edge of the village, Adil could clearly sense the thick negative energy particles in it, as well as the terrifying residual radiation residue.
"Is this the so-called weird? Not only is it extremely terrifying in itself, but it also forms a powerful pollution in the place where it has been raging, causing a terrifying impact on the surrounding environment. ”
After observing the surroundings and sensing the powerful radiation residue in it, Adil made a judgment in his heart: "If there is no external force to intervene, I am afraid that the radiation contamination in this place will last for at least a hundred years." ”
"That..." At this moment, there was a sound ahead.
The gray-robed girl before hadn't left yet, and seemed to confirm that Adil was not a monster, she looked at Adil timidly, and said with some fear: "It's almost dark, can we leave here first." ”
"You haven't left yet?"
Listening to the girl's words and seeing the girl in the distance, Adil was a little surprised.
Opposite him, listening to Adier's words, the corners of the gray-robed girl's mouth twitched.
She wanted to leave first, but Adil had created too much of a deterrent for her to act rashly.
The corrosive crow before could easily kill a prime-aged man, which was an extremely terrifying monster for a scavenger like her, but now she was grabbed by the other party like a chicken, and she couldn't see her usual ferocity at all.
"Forget it. ”
Standing opposite the girl, looking at the tangled expression on the girl's face, Adil didn't care much: "Lead the way." ”
Hearing this, the gray-robed girl opposite suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Secretly looking up at Adier, she directly picked up the big bag in her hand and walked into the distance.
There is a small road on the outskirts of the village, and there are no plants around it, and it looks bare.
It took a long distance for the situation to improve, and some life began to appear
As dusk approached, they walked to a tall building.
The building, which was six or seven meters high, was once supposed to be a villa, but now it looks very dilapidated, as if it has not been maintained for a long time.
Beside him, Adil was beside her, and when she walked here, the girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and couldn't help but walk quickly to the door, quickly pushed the door open and walked in.
With a creak, she opened the dilapidated door directly, revealing the scene inside.
In a large space, some dust was covered with the floor, and there were some wooden chairs around it, which looked like they were in tatters, and they were quite old.
"We're in place. ”
Coming here, the girl was obviously relaxed, and after walking to the corner on the side, she put down the big bag she was holding in her hand, and then she didn't feel dirty, and sat directly on the ground.
"You usually live in this place?" a gentle voice came from behind.
The girl in a black robe turned around and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
In that direction, Adil was dressed in a black robe, and his long black hair mixed with a little silver hung down directly, fluttering gently along the wind outside, looking very gentle, which made people unconsciously feel good.
Looking at Adier's appearance, the girl subconsciously felt a little inferior, and said in a low tone: "This is the only safe place in this annex." ”
"It's not safe here. ”
Turning slightly to close the door behind him, Adil walked up to the girl and shook his head at her.
Around the building, he also sensed some residual radiation, which was faint but not yet completely subsided.
Living in this kind of place for a long time is not only easy to provoke something, but also for a long time, the radiation residue here will also have a great impact on ordinary people.
The dense blood-colored patches on the girl's face in front of her are most likely caused by this effect.
"I can't help it. ”
Sitting on the ground, listening to Adier's words, a wry smile appeared on the girl's face: "Since this area entered the outbreak period a few years ago, there are all kinds of strange things everywhere, and it is good to be able to find a place to live barely enough." ”
She seemed to be in a good mood, as if it was because she hadn't seen other living people for a long time, and she said a lot to Adiel: "Although the outbreak period has passed now, those strange places have become forbidden places, and absolutely safe places belong to the territory of nobles, and people who are polluted like me are not allowed to enter." ”
"So I had to live in the wilderness and become a poor scavenger. ”
In the end, she took the opportunity to complain to Adiel.
"Polluted, do you mean those things on your face?"
Looking at the visually terrifying blood clots on the girl's face, Adil spoke.
"It's not just the face. A bitter smile appeared on the girl's face.
Under Adier's calm gaze, she stood up from the ground and directly pulled the gray robe on her body, revealing her upper body without any clothes inside.
Some terrifying scenes appeared.
In the upper body of the girl, countless small blood clots were densely covered in her body, and some places had begun to fester, and the drips of blood on it slowly flowed out, and the original charm was not seen at all, only a thrilling feeling that made the scalp tingle.
Looking at this body, as long as it is a normal person, he will not have any interest, he will only feel terrifying.
Standing in front of the girl, Adiel's face was calm, and he didn't have any thoughts in his heart, just watched quietly.
"Because of the pollution, those normal people think that we people are monsters, and think that contact with us will bring this pollution to them, so they drive us out and can only survive in the wild. ”
Standing in front of Adil, the girl spoke with some bitterness.
After a while, she was looked at by Adier's eyes, perhaps a little embarrassed, she put on the gray robe she had ripped off again, and sat on the ground again: "What about you? Look at your appearance, you should be a nobleman, how did you run to the polluted area." ”
Sitting on the ground, looking at Adiel, she asked with some puzzlement.
Even from her point of view, she could feel that Adil was extraordinary. Whether it is the handsome appearance or the black robe on his body, it can be seen.
Not to mention that the other party still has a sword on his waist, the corrosive crow, which is extremely terrifying to ordinary people, is still in the other party's hands, and obviously also has strong combat power.
Such characters should exist in the castles of the nobles, and should not risk their lives to enter these radiation zones and stay with them, scavengers who could be contagious at any time.
