Chapter 1 The day is not coming, the night is not over
Brewer City is not strictly a city, at most the size of an expanded town. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Located at the southernmost point of the defense line within the empire, although the climate is suitable, neither hot nor cold all year round, it is surrounded by mountains and hilly terrain, and the permanent population of the city is not large.
It stands to reason that even if such climatic conditions and geographical location do not make the city prosperous, at least the number of people in the city will not be too small.
But in fact, not to mention the resident population of Brewer City, even the population flow here is extremely low.
Wooden houses, sparse old stone houses and a small number of two-story brick houses can be found all over the city.
With such a simple building facility, not to mention compared to a big city, even an ordinary town in the empire would be much stronger.
Brewer's morning light came early, and at about five o'clock in the morning, the bright red morning sun couldn't help but poke its head out to look down at the earth.
And on an avenue in the middle of the city, a group of people who got up earlier than the morning sun were running.
The crowd was divided into several queues and ran neatly, and next to each queue was a person who appeared to be the leader of the group shouting slogans and calculating the distance of the morning run.
The crowd was old and young, men and women, some strong and some thin, some were angry, and some were depressed.
Occasionally, someone collapsed on the side of the road, and the people passing by them continued to maintain their speed and rhythm as if they didn't see it.
At the back of the crowd was a group of boys and girls who looked to be underage, with messy hair, shabby and simple coarse cloth clothes, covering only vital parts, and stepping barefoot on the bumpy avenue, making a low moan.
A crow-haired teenager in the team lost his center and fell to the side due to physical exhaustion, and the boy was about to sit up and touch the abrasion on the ground when a leather whip suddenly struck the boy on the back.
"Uh..."
The crow-haired boy couldn't help but cry out in pain, and hurriedly covered his back with his backhand to avoid being whipped again.
"Do you still want to have breakfast today?"
The middle-aged man holding the whip next to him roared angrily.
The boy shivered and nodded, endured the fall on his knee and the pain of the whip on his back, and struggled to get up with his hands and continue running.
The crow-haired boy has the name of the Eastern Continent like an hour at this moment, and the day has not yet arrived, and the night has not ended.
White Nights.
It has been almost half a year since he came to this place, and Bai Ye gradually realized that this city is not as peaceful and quiet as the first time he saw it.
And this group of people is not as benevolent and kind as they were when they saved themselves.
After suffering two injuries from Bai Ye, who was already physically exhausted, his running speed became even slower, and gradually, he was left behind by others.
When will such a day end?
In Bai Ye's thoughts, there was no intention of staying here.
But where will you wander without Brewer?
The sunrise of dawn renders the whole land, the city of Brewer begins a new day, and the crowd's morning jog slowly comes to an end.
At the finish line, there was no longer most of the crowd, only the group of boys and girls who ran last.
In the rules of the morning run, as a team, if any member of the team does not reach the finish line, everyone does not have breakfast.
"It's him again! It's really unlucky. "Some of them complained.
Unsurprisingly, White Night became the tail of the crane that was still desperately running towards the finish line.
"Ike, are you too embarrassed to say that? Before the white night came, weren't we all waiting for you? ”
The tallest boy in the team directly held the teenager who had complained before speechless.
None of the others spoke, and no one knew what was going on in their minds.
Finally able to see his team from afar, Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time, he didn't know where the strength came from, and his feet began to exert force, whistling like the wind.
"Alright, alright, it's finally time for breakfast...", the young man who spoke looked extremely impatient.
As the white night crossed the finish line, the team quickly disbanded and headed for the food camp.
At the huge north gate of Brewer, Bai Ye was left alone to calm his mind.
After resting for a while, Bai Ye slowly moved towards breakfast.
A bowl of rice soup diluted to the point that no rice grains can be seen and two yellow-skinned breads are the breakfast that Bai Ye is chewing in his hand at the moment.
The fermentation effect of the yellow crust bread is quite unsatisfactory, not only the flour has no taste at all, but also the hardness is difficult to swallow.
Bai Ye took small bites of the food in his hand, although he couldn't taste it, but compared to the previous days, it was like a paradise of happiness.
After eating a loaf of bread, Bai Ye was about to put away another yellow loaf of bread in case of emergency, but he suddenly stretched out a hand from behind to snatch the bread in Bai Ye's hand.
"Why do the reserve boys eat so much? Anyway, I can't play, so it's better to add more rations to the hard-working personnel of my official formation. ”
After the young man who snatched the bread of the white night finished speaking, he stuffed the bread into his mouth in two bites, and swallowed it in his stomach after a few snorts.
"What are you doing!" Before Bai Ye could react, the brown-haired boy sitting across from him burst into flames.
The young man raised his head, looked at the brown-haired boy and sneered, "What? Want to do what you do? Believe it or not, I'll rob you tomorrow. ”
"You..." Although the brown-haired boy had the heart to help, he had to swallow his anger in the face of the young man's threat.
Here, the level of martial arts strength determines what a person has.
The food was already in his stomach, and the young man didn't want to do any more entanglement, so he turned around and was about to leave, and before leaving, he turned back to the brown-haired boy and Bai Ye and said, "If you don't accept it, go and fight off the blood corpse beast to show me, you can eat and live well now, and we will fight for it with our lives." If you can't do it, just get out of here and go to the house, and the weak still want to be equal? Dream on! ”
The young man's words made the brown-haired boy angry, and he slammed the stone bowl in his hand to the ground with a 'snap', and at the same time glanced at Bai Ye, who was still sitting in a daze opposite him.
Bai Ye was not as indignant as the young man opposite, and was silent with his head down.
"You're a wreck." The brown-haired boy scolded angrily and turned to leave.
The interpolation just now was naturally seen by the people around them, and they all looked at Bai Ye with sympathy and contempt.
Bai Ye got up quietly and walked quickly away from everyone's sight, so as not to feel more embarrassed and inferior in his heart.
Compared to others, Bai Ye also recognizes the position of what role he belongs to in the group.
The talent for martial arts is very average, the physical fitness can be said to be very bad, and the comprehension is always not inspired, plus the time of joining the group is too short, it cannot be compared with other people in terms of martial arts strength.
After breakfast, there was a little rest, and Bai Ye silently returned to his own team position, waiting for the next training task on the new day.
White Night's team belonged to the fourteenth squad in the regiment, and there were eleven members in the team, four girls and seven boys.
Most of the eleven members of the team are only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the oldest is less than twenty years old, at least much younger than the other teams.
So it makes sense to be placed in reserve.
The reserve team has a variety of training sessions every day, from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m., with occasional training times adjusted depending on the content of the training.
In the morning, the reserve team learned the theoretical knowledge of the explanation, analysis, and restraint defense of the Blood Corpse Beast.
Eleven people huddled in a small private house and listened to the captain's explanation.
"We've talked about how to deal with and repel ordinary Blood Corpse Beasts, and today, we need to get to know some new species..."
"I believe that most of the people in the team have seen the appearance of the Blood Corpse Beast with their own eyes, but some of the team members should still not have seen it, so I will take it out here and talk about it separately..."
Captain Layton drew a picture of a man grabbing something on the wall, and suddenly asked, "Who will tell me about the origin of the Blood Corpse Beast first?" ”
The eleven people below, you look at me, I look at you, no one wants to get up and answer the captain's question.
Facing the demeanor of these children in the team, the captain was not surprised, and shouted casually: "Yuan Meng, you can talk about it." ”
The girl who stood up solemnly, straightened her body, her eyes burned, and replied, "People! ”
Yuan Meng spit out a word clearly, and his voice was loud and resounding.
The captain nodded, took Yuan Meng's answer and continued: "That's right, blood corpse beasts with almost the same appearance as ordinary people, although they have the skin of humans, they don't have any thinking, no emotional fluctuations, and no ability to judge things......"
"The only thing they have is constant destruction, destruction, bloodthirstiness, flesh-thirstiness... and immunity to elemental magic attacks and the Strange ability to resurrect without stopping. ”
"If that's the case, we don't have to go to such great lengths to deal with the Blood Corpse Beast, on this continent, there are more terrifying rare beasts than the Blood Corpse Beast..."
Speaking of this, the captain paused, as if to remind everyone present, and continued: "The terrifying thing about the Blood Corpse Beasts is not how powerful they are, not because of their elemental immunity, not because of whether they are really immortal..."
"What's really scary is the way the Blood Corpse Beast species is formed, and how quickly they spread."
"The most puzzling thing is why the Blood Corpse Beast only attacks humans, turning humans from ordinary people into unconscious human predators, Blood Corpse Beasts."
"I don't know if you have any strange thoughts, why don't you say it?" Layton stopped explaining and asked again.
"Because humans are weak." Ike's weak voice rang out in the room, and though it was quiet, it was audible to all.
In the originally quiet house, I suddenly remembered bursts of laughter.
"Idiot..."I don't know who is laughing mixed with scolding.
Layton's eyes flickered as he continued to ask, "Are there any other answers?" ”
"I'm the opposite of Ike's opinion, because humans are too strong, that's why they become the target of the Blood Corpse Beast." The person who said this was tall, but very thin, and looked like a bamboo pole.
Layton nodded and asked the others, "What about you?" What do you think? ”
Most people shook their heads and said they had no idea.
Seeing the expected situation, Leiden immediately looked at Bai Ye, who was sitting in the corner, and said, "Bai Ye, you came down from the Blood Corpse Mountain, why do you think the Blood Corpse Beast only attacks humans?" ”
"Eh?!!!"
A series of cries of surprise rang out from the ranks.
Bai Ye didn't think that the captain would let him answer such a difficult question, and there was silence in his dark eyes, unable to keep up with the rhythm at all.
