Chapter 37: Monsters and Emotions
Number 638?
Isn't this guy the same as last time?
Lin Ze looked at the scavenger in front of him, who was exactly the same as before, both in dress and appearance, and felt a little speechless.
It seems that it is not so easy to tell the difference between these guys, and if they don't report their numbers, they really can't recognize who is who.
In the battle related to the monster, there is no need to pay points for the follow-up treatment, and the scavenger No. 638 bowed to Lin Ze and began to dispose of the corpse and battle traces with his hands and feet.
"Don't the memories of those three guys need to be erased?" Lin Ze asked, pointing to the three young men who had passed out on the ground, and he noticed that Scavenger 638 didn't seem to have this intention.
Scavenger No. 638 grinned, showed a terrifying serration, and said respectfully: "No, Mr. Crow, that monster just now is quite special, and the humans who have absorbed the essence of it will have a loss of memory, and they will completely forget about tonight when they wake up." ”
"I see. ”
Lin Ze nodded suddenly, no wonder the previous victims didn't remember what happened, and he also guessed if the scavengers were behind their backs.
After looking at what happened tonight, Lin Ze probably guessed the process of this monster looking for prey, which was nothing more than pretending to be a drunk beautiful girl sleeping on the side of the road, and then luring males with bad intentions to pick up the corpse, and when the other party took her to a remote place where no one was ready to commit misdeeds, he would show his true face and suck the other party's essence.
I remember Luo Luo said that monsters feed on the negative emotions of human beings, and after tonight's events, Lin Ze felt that there was a point to be added, monsters are very good at using and mobilizing human emotions.
It's like this monster that is related to desire, it knows how to use the desires of human men, and once it can't stand it, it will be sucked out of its essence and desire.
Like the state of the three young people just now, they have obviously been carried away by desire, and there must be monsters in it.
Two or three minutes later, Scavenger No. 638 had already taken care of everything and was about to salute and leave, but was stopped by Lin Ze.
"What about the points for hunting monsters?"
"It's been delivered, and you can see it when you log in to the game. ”
"Understood, thank you!"
"You're welcome!"
With that, Scavenger 638 slowly sank into the shadow door on the wall as if it had melted into the water.
Lin Ze glanced at the three young men lying on the ground, ignored them, and turned to leave.
Silence returned to the park.
After a long time, the sound of hurried footsteps disturbed the silence, and a girl wearing a peaked cap and a mask rushed into the park quickly, her eyes fell on the trio, and she intently sensed the thin monster breath in the air, and the look of chagrin in her eyes flashed.
"Damn!
......
Back in the dormitory, Liu Jinghe and Chen Qigong were already asleep, and seeing Lin Ze return unharmed, Qin Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and patted him on the shoulder, but he didn't ask more, but saved Lin Ze the effort to explain.
After turning off the lights and returning to the bed to lie down, Lin Ze took out his sunglasses and put them on as soon as possible.
[Kill a Tervi-level monster and get 100 points]
As soon as I logged in to the game, such a message popped up in front of me.
"100 points!" the corners of Lin Ze's mouth couldn't help but hook slightly.
Sure enough, hunting monsters is the best way to get points, just a monster, it brought him 100 points, and now his total points reached 112 points.
Sighing happily for a while, Lin Ze entered the "Wasteland Knife Language".
Four days had passed since graduation, but Lin Ze had been staying in the house, almost never going out except for buying food, which made the Knife Forger Guild and Ding Beiye, who had been secretly paying attention to him, very puzzled.
As soon as an ordinary trainee knife forger graduates, he usually prepares for a day or two and will set off to hunt insects and beasts, eager to improve his strength as soon as possible, Lin Ze is good, there has been no movement for four days, and he doesn't know what he is doing?
Fortunately, today, they finally saw Lin Ze leave the house, wearing a combat uniform and carrying a tactical backpack, and strode towards the exit of the settlement.
The tactical backpack contains prepared wilderness survival items such as maps, dry food, and drinking water.
It is worth mentioning that most of the materials, including combat uniforms, tactical backpacks, and maps, are given free of charge by the Swordsmith Guild and are newcomer benefits.
The close-fitting combat uniform perfectly set off Lin Ze's slender and sturdy figure, far exceeding the average level of physical fitness in this world, making his spirit and appearance look extraordinarily heroic, coupled with the logo of the Swordsmith Guild revealed on the combat uniform, on the way to the exit gate, it was not surprising that it attracted many envious and adoring eyes.
Lin Ze was unconscious, and looked up at the high wall in the distance.
The insects and beasts of this world usually live in the ruins of cities, but a few will run into the wild, thus approaching the settlements and threatening the safety of human life.
In order to prevent the attack of insects and beasts, a huge wall with a height of 20 meters was built around the perimeter of the Blackstone settlement, which surrounded the entire settlement.
This measure has indeed greatly reduced the frequency of insect and beast invasions, but from time to time there are still incidents where insects and beasts accidentally pass through high walls and rush into the outer area to wreak havoc and kill humans, which is one of the reasons why the security of the outer area has been criticized.
The high wall has four entrances and exits, located in four directions, and Lin Ze chose the northern exit, because the destination of his trip was the ruins of the city of C7, which was located 18 kilometers north of the settlement.
According to the danger degree of urban ruins, they are divided into four grades from high to low, and then numbered and sorted separately, which is a unified regulation for all settlements, among which the urban ruins of grade C are the least dangerous, which is most suitable for novice apprentice knife smith experience.
Passing through the high-walled gate, you can see a devastated wilderness, covered with gravel and sand, and occasionally you can see white bones covered with gnawing marks.
Walking on the desolate sand, Lin Ze cautiously guarded the surroundings, the white knife had already been unsheathed, guarding against a possible attack.
In fact, a novice apprentice swordsmith like him, when he goes out hunting insects and beasts for the first time, it is best to have an experienced senior to lead him, and the three major organizations all have similar services to offer, even if you are a registered member, you can also hire one from the Swordsmith Guild for credits.
Although the cost is expensive, life safety is obviously more important.
However, Lin Ze himself hides a lot of secrets, and having a companion to accompany him will be constrained, so after thinking twice, he decided to act alone.
With his strength far beyond that of ordinary newcomers, as long as he is careful, he should not be in too much danger.
According to the knowledge of survival in the wild taught in class, Lin Ze avoided the path with a large number of insect and beast footprints along the way, and spent a whole morning finally arriving in front of a ruin.
In front of him was an asphalt street, covered with moss and lush vegetation, flanked by concrete high-rises, occasionally interspersed with two or three stories of shops, all of which had collapsed and crumbled, some of which had been reduced to rubble, and some of which remained isolated by a crumbling wall, covered with vines and moss, as if in a few years it would be completely buried by these dense plants.
There were a lot of debris scattered on the ground, these things had obviously gone through a long time, soaked by the rainstorm and shrouded in dust, and had long since turned into hard and black stone-like objects, and the original appearance was not visible at all, only the general outline of the shape remained.
Over here...... Is it the ruins of the city?
Lin Ze looked at the situation in front of him with some astonishment.
From the dilapidated and desolate environment around it, it can be vaguely seen that human civilization once prospered, but after the disaster came, everything was destroyed in one fell swoop.
Although he knew that this was just a game world, Lin Ze still felt a little emotional.
After a few moments, he reined in his emotions, took the map out of his tactical backpack, and followed the markings on the map, and hurried cautiously and quickly towards his destination.
As a C-level city ruin suitable for novice apprentice swordsmith training, this area has long been explored by the swordsmiths in the Blackstone settlement, and a detailed map has been drawn up, which indicates the frequent infested places of insects and beasts, and the next place Lin Ze is going to is a square where a large number of steel soldiers and insects live.
