Barrett met the village chief in the hut at the head of the village.

The grade is not very large, but it looks smart and capable.

He was about forty-five or sixteen years old, dressed in sackcloth, and looked fierce with a beard.

"Stranger, you came from the mountains?" The village chief motioned for him to sit down and speak, and poured him a cup of hot water.

"Tannin sour tea, good for the body." With an introduction, the village chief looked at Barrett and picked up his cigarette pouch.

"Yes, I'm from the prairie." Barrett replied honestly, "There's a bomb shelter over there, and I'll come from there." ”

"Bomb shelter?" The village chief looked at the map carefully, and they still had hand-drawn maps.

"Oh, that bomb shelter from the war, but it's long since abandoned." Unlike Ranagi, who was completely unaware, the village chief still knew what was going on at that time.

"War? Wasn't the war over when the pioneers left? Barrett thought that the war the village chief was talking about was the same religious war that had been fought more than 200 years ago, and that some of the exiled people had become the losers in the war.

"Pioneers? After those people left, humanity fell into a war for the right to live. The village chief went into the inner room and fumbled for a while before he came out with a worn-out book.

"They just shake their hands when they leave, but ordinary people who can't walk are caught in endless wars." The village chief handed Barrett the old book and motioned for him to open it.

“………… The inferiority of human beings...... Barrett only had to look at the beginning to understand what was going on.

Without a ruler, the first thing that came to mind of the remaining people was not how to strive for cooperation and coexistence at all, but directly fell into the war for the next ruler.

There is no suspense, the war that lasted four and a half years wiped out most of the people on the planet, and the rest of the people could only survive.

So until now, humanity has not recovered at all, or never will.

However, there are some records in the book that are not exhaustive, that is, the lethal weapon used in the war at that time was not a weapon of destruction, but a tool from the ruins, and the greatest ability of this tool is to destroy living beings.

Perhaps the yellow rain that Ranagi said earlier was a vision when this tool was released.

"Don't you doubt my purpose at all?" Barrett is a little strange, it stands to reason that outsiders must be vigilant and wary.

But the village chief directly showed him this book, which can be said to record the events at that time.

"This thing is useless to us, and besides, you have protected the people of the village." The village chief smiled, and he looked at Barrett and said.

"............" Barrett remembered that Lanaji had said not to mention in the village that he had killed the beast, why did the village chief find out so quickly?

"Well, no matter where you go, don't talk about killing beasts. Otherwise, someone will be eyeing you soon. The village chief admonished.

"Ranagi is my nephew, you can rest assured. But beware of Turus, the guy is looking for a fighter for Kama. The village chief continued, and this was what put Barrett at ease.

"As for the town of Maqiao you mentioned, it's definitely not around here." The village chief shook his head, he didn't know where the town was: "You can go to the town of Padua and ask, the traffic over there is much better than here, maybe someone knows." ”

Nodding, Barrett could only look for it.

"By the way, what continent is this village on now? Americas? Barrett knew that the original division was over, but he still had to figure out where he was.

"America? No, according to the old man, we are here in Central Asia. The village chief said.

Central Asia, then, is not too far from the place where the ruins are found, at least without crossing the sea.

"Thank you." After thanking him, he walked out of the village chief's house.

Next............

As he was thinking, he heard the voice of Ranaji.

"It's the clothes that were said to be good, and there are dry foods." Lanaji holds two cloth bags in his hands.

"Thank you." Barrett took the bag and thanked him.

"I don't think you'll stay in our village forever, and follow the road all the way north, about forty miles to the town of Padua." Lanaji felt a little sorry, but he knew that Barrett had his own business, and he was just a passer-by in the village.

"I hope to have the opportunity to meet again in the future." Lanaji said.

"I want to, too." Despite all that, Barrett knew that he had to find a way out now, and Frost was still waiting for him to return.

The cat must have some purpose for letting him come here, and the answer should be in that Maqiao Town.

The two shook hands, and it was a farewell.

Barrett took a linen shirt from his sack and put it on, covering his muscles.

The dusty sackcloth shirt made Barrett look not much different from ordinary people.

Carrying two cloth bags on his back, Barrett made his way north along the dirt road.

Along the way, he saw sporadic people coming from the north, but few people from the south going north.

Most of the people who come here are carrying backpacks or goods, and it seems that they have come to the village to trade.

As he was walking, someone chased after him.

"Stranger, are you interested in making a little money?" The man who spoke was a bald man, thirty-seven or eighteen years old.

"You are?" Barrett roughly guessed who he was, but asked anyway.

"My name is Turus, Merchant." Sure enough, this guy was Turus.

"As long as you do me a little favor, I can get ten yuan of income." The man wiped the top of his bare head with his hand, his face was stained with sweat, and it looked like running was not his forte.

"Ten bucks?" It's the first time Barrett has heard of the current currency, and it can't be the dollar, right?

The man pulled out a silver coin with a human head printed on it from his pocket.

"Ten silver coins, this kind of good thing is rare." Turus said with a smile.

“………… What are you asking me to help with? Barrett asked, his tone unfluctuating, as if he had heard of it for the first time.

"It's very simple, take this bag to Padua, and the ten pieces will be yours." Tossing the silver coin in his hand gently, Turus said.

"Can I ask what's in the bag?" Barrett asked bluntly, he didn't want to get in trouble.

"Quite cautious." Turus laughed, and he praised, "It's a good habit, not something of great value, but the teeth and claws of a beast." ”

"It represents the number of beasts killed in our village, and there are people in Padua who buy them." Turus explained.

"Maybe I'll never come back to the village again." Barrett is very clear, I can't bring the money back, I'm afraid it's not okay, right?

But Turus didn't seem to be embarrassed, he scratched the top of Guangguang's head, and said, "We have someone in town, you just have to give it to him." ”

"How do I find him?" Barrett asked.

"Once you get the money, you just have to wait at the nearby tavern, and he will come looking for you." Turus smiled stiffly.

Reach out and hand Barrett the silver coin and the cloth bag, and the deal is settled.

"Aren't you worried about me taking things away?" Barrett said absent-mindedly.

His eyes were on a passing carriage.

He remembered Ranagi's words, Yuancun was not wealthy, there were no livestock.

The carriage was not from the village.

"That's nothing to worry about, it's not worth a lot of money after all." Turus waved his hand and walked in the direction of the village.

Barrett is on his journey again.

Ryphy fiddles with the dagger in her hand, and she accompanies Rose in her interrogation of Kim.

She didn't like the job, but she didn't know where she was going.

"What the hell is Bass doing? Star-making? I don't believe that's all. Rose tossed the papers on the table.

Jin looked at the two people in front of him without saying a word, but there was no anger or defensiveness on his face.

Seeing that Kim didn't answer, Rose and Ryfy looked at each other and decided to take a different approach.

"As long as you're telling the truth, I'll consider releasing you both." Rose gave the conditions.

"............" Jin really didn't say anything, just looked at the two of them quietly.

Lyphy was annoyed, she finally realized how depressed she had been.

She leaned into Rose's ear and said, "I don't think it's useful at all, so I might as well ask Sasha." ”

Rose has a headache, and now Sasha is visiting the Farnet Museum with Eli, accompanied by a group of bigwigs, Padolath, and they are all there.

"Forget it, that's all for today!" Closing the papers and standing up, Rose preparing to leave.

"No matter how many days it is, it's meaningless, because I don't know anything." Kim uttered the first words of the day.

Looking back at her, Rose was a little disappointed.

"You're Bass's secretary and you don't know anything?"

"You don't know anything, you brought Sasha here?" Rose wanted to laugh a little, she didn't think the joke was very interesting.

"How would you feel if I had said that all this was expected by him?" Kim straightened her bangs with her fingers, and she continued: "Since I know that I am likely to be tortured to extract a confession, or even memory reading, may he tell me something important?" ”

Kim smiled, a hint of sympathy in her eyes.

"Sasha was sent here on purpose, you just need to take care of her." After saying that, Kim played with the red rope on his wrist.

"Thank you for telling us about such a hot topic." Lyphy's voice was faint, but Rose knew she was angry.

"Then let's use her to operate first." After saying that, Riffy walked towards the door, and she didn't bother to say any more.

"Sasha should be with your little darling now, right?" Kim was not afraid at all, she said in a different position.

"............" Sure enough, at the mention of Mimi, Ryphy immediately stopped, and now Mimi is indeed with Sasha, and they are both in the museum.

"Why don't you agree to the star-making project? Just join in, and you'll know everything. Kim's voice was a little strange, as if there was a hint of a smile.

"And then you are going to continue to preach how great it is, as a missionary?" Rose said impatiently.

Shrugging, Kim didn't continue, but the expression on her face was palpable.

"Star-making, living space? Three years to create a planet that can live for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people. Rose read the plan.

"It sounds very powerful, but there is one of the most fatal problems, what we lack most now is not the soil for survival at all, but the lack of people who have been fighting for many years." Rose tapped the plan with the pen in her hand and said.

"Until now, humans have only relied on clones to fill the numbers, aren't you also a product of this?" Ironically, Rose did point to the point, that humanity is not short of resources and planets.

What they lack is manpower and peace, nothing more.

"Maybe you're right." Kim's eyelids drooped as she looked at the tabletop.

"But you don't trust clones, and you can't solve this problem, can you?"

"Praying for peace is everyone's wish, but what to exchange for peace? Don't you think a place to live is enough? ”

Lai Fei looked back at Kim, her voice a little excited: "You mean Nala is stirring up a war, right?" ”

Kim shook her head, and she said, "I didn't say that, but land and resources are indeed important reasons for war, aren't they?" ”

Walking to the table, Leffy leaned down, approached Kim and said, "War is because of greed, land? That's just the starting point of greed, and without the land issue, wars will still begin, as long as there is greed in someone's heart. ”

"Ask yourself, is there greed in Bass's heart?" Ryphy's eyes were fixed on Kim's face as she questioned.

"Barrett is gone, isn't he? Do you think he has greed in his heart? Kim asked rhetorically.

.................. The doctrine of the Cyrus sect does not allow Riffy to lie, and she cannot answer.

"Ever thought he would never come back? If this stalemate continues, Bath has endless places to survive, there are endless human resources, what do you have? "Kim's meaning is simple, giving up stupid insistence and choosing cooperation is the right choice.

After a moment of silence, Riffey whispered, "If he doesn't come back, Bass will bury him." ”

Quite simply, there was nothing grandiose, and Riffy's anger was not unfounded, and his disappearance was indeed caused by Bass.

Kim looked at Riffey and replied softly, "Thirty-four thousand assassins." ”

There were no other adjectives, but the number made both Leffy and Rose sink their hearts.

Just a dozen Assassins would be so difficult to deal with, if there really were thirty-four thousand............

But it's not impossible, just by cloning humans, Bath will produce at least hundreds of thousands of them every year.

"We'll see." With that in mind, Lyphy and Rose left the inquiry room.

"We need more energy carriers, at least to ensure that all three points have anti-magic arrays running." As she walked, Riffy whispered to Rose.

"But it seems that the deal with the Star Alliance has slowed down recently, and I don't know why." Rose checked the relevant data, and the pun transactions in the last week have been more than half compared to a month ago.

“………… It's really not going to work, let's build a charging array here. "There's nothing good about what Lai Fei can do, she knows that the free magic here is very rare, and even if it is completed, it will only be a drop in the bucket.

Walking out of the bunker and looking at the approaching lightning snake overhead, both knew they had something to do again.
