Act 1: Broken Heart Chapter 29: Greva the Righteous Thief (↑)
After the wind and sand, the ruins of the original dilapidated village were basically buried. Several sandstone horned lizards were chasing and playing on the sand, sometimes digging through the soil layer to find something, this scene lasted for about two hours, and the next moment, the sandstone horned lizard, which was still chasing, stopped and stood up, as if hearing something, and stood there looking around.
"Boom .................." a sharp dark golden claw stretched out in the sand between several sandstone horned lizards, frightened a few stone horned lizards scattered and fled, the arm shook, touched around, and finally bent down and pressed on the sand, with the strength of the arm, the sand slowly bulged a small bag, and after more than ten minutes, a metal sharp horn emerged from under the sand, looking very infiltrating.
Half an hour later, Ressa lay on the ground without any image, panting heavily, yes, in order to avoid the increasingly violent wind and sand, Resa found cover, but what he didn't expect was that although he avoided the wind and sand, he was buried by the wind and sand without noticing.
This is also the fact that he is using a backup oxygen supply, otherwise he will be suffocated underground for such a long time.
Ressa, who had rested enough, stood up, but at this time, there was no gray feeling around him, and the sky was also revealing a long-lost blue, Resa looked down at the prompt on the personal terminal, and the emergency oxygen supply stock was less than 50% left. Ressa covered her face, she didn't do anything, why did she use more than half of her oxygen?
"Command: Detect the state of the surrounding environment if you can breathe directly."
"The system is being tested.................. If no hazardous substances are found, the equipment can be disarmed. ”
"Whew~~~~" Ressa lifted her mask and took a deep breath, feeling that at this moment, the whole person was quiet. Ressa couldn't help but close his eyes, the hot sun didn't make him feel too hot, this warm feeling made him enjoy it very much.
"Roar~~~~~~~~~~" The next moment, behind Ressa, a huge sandstone horned lizard more than three meters long pierced out from under the sand, and its sharp claws slapped towards Ressa.

With the dim fire in the room, the boy sat quietly at the table, looking at his sleeping sister with a smile on his face, he did not have his parents in his memory, every time he thought of his parents, there were only two vague figures, and the head of the figure was a black mist, in his memory, he only remembered his sister.
The uncle next door said that his parents had gone far away, but he didn't understand, why, they couldn't take him and his sister with them?
The boy sat on the chair, his mind began to be drowsy, too, according to the time in the city, it was almost midnight, the boy sat on the chair and fell asleep, he did not choose to go to the bed to sleep, even if this bed he and his sister slept very spacious, but he wanted his sister to sleep more comfortably.
"Bang bang bang........................" The dull knock on the door startled the boy to jump up from the chair, and at this moment he didn't care if he would wake up his sister, so he quickly picked up his sister and hid her under the bed with the futon. Then he pulled out an old revolver from under his pillow on the bed, clumsily loaded the bullets, and pointed it in the direction of the door.
The expected breaking in did not happen, the young man swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously, stopping his sister who wanted to climb out from under the bed, the young man did not dare to make a sound, the time passed like this, and once again stopped the action that his sister wanted to come out, the young man walked to the door lightly, slowly closed his eyes, concentrated, but there was no one outside the door, the young man frowned, hesitated for a long time, he gently opened the latch of the door, opened a thin door crack and looked out.
There was indeed no one outside the door, only a worn-out satchel lying quietly in the doorway, and the boy recognized it at a glance, it was his satchel.
The boy looked around a few times, and after making sure that there was no one, he quickly grabbed the satchel and closed the door, inserting the latch, and then he found that unlike the original light and fluttering satchel, this satchel was much heavier.
"Brother, are they here again?" The little girl's timid voice came from under the bed.
"No, it's okay now, come out!" The boy opened his satchel, but his face became a little strange.
"Uh-huh!" The little girl struggled to crawl out from under the bed, then squatted down and pulled out the futon inside, patted the dust on it, and spread it on the bed again.
"Brother, I'm hungry!" The little girl finished laying out the futon and whispered that the food resources in the dungeon are very tight now, and she and her brother usually only have one meal a day, which is a torment every day for their age. The little girl's sentence "I'm hungry" is actually more inclined to express her feelings, she knows that her brother can bring back limited food every day, and even if she is hungry, there may not be food for her to eat.
"If you're hungry, eat this." The boy placed his satchel on the table, and he handed the little girl the piece of bread he had been holding in his arms, along with a small water bottle.
The little girl took the bread and water bottle with some surprise: "Brother, there is water today~~~~" After that, she didn't care about the bread in her hand, opened the bottle and drank two sips of water first.
Looking at the water surface in the bottle that had dropped by half because of two mouthfuls, the young man wanted to stop talking, he wanted his sister to save some drink, now compared to food, water is more difficult to get, fresh water is monopolized by the city lord, if you want water, you need to spend a lot of resources to exchange.
Of course, he will also provide water, 50 milliliters of water per person per day, which is almost a mouthful, which can not only make you hang out of a breath and not die of thirst, but also make you have to spend a lot of resources to buy water, and the teenager's half bottle is almost 100 milliliters of water, and the little girl takes two mouthfuls, and there is less than half a bottle left.
The little girl was also very sensible, and after two sips she found that she had drunk too much, she handed the water bottle to her brother, and after seeing her brother shake his head, she tightened the cap of the bottle, and carefully hid the water bottle in a small compartment under the bed, which is where she and her brother usually hide some leftover food, so that they are not afraid of being snatched away by some wanderers on the street.
The little girl sat on the bed and nibbled on bread, watching curiously as her brother rummaged through his satchel.
The boy was even more surprised, originally in his satchel, the eggs were already broken, and there should have only been two dried apples, two loaves of bread and a piece of ham meat left, but now, those things were gone, but in their place, there were two 500-milliliter water bottles, three loaves of bread, two pieces of smoked animal leg meat, and two bright red tomatoes.
The value of these things is quite high, not to mention, just a 500ml bottle of water is almost equal to the value of the contents of the bag. And these two pieces of smoky animal leg meat each weigh almost two catties.
The value of this meat was even higher, and the boy looked back at his sister, who was sitting on the edge of the bed silently munching on bread, and he took out the knife at his waist and cut off a small piece of bacon, leaving a tomato, and put the rest in his satchel and hid it in a secret cabinet under the chair.

The flames were beating, Ressa sat quietly on the edge of the fire, behind him, a sandstone horned lizard more than three meters long was covered with bursts of green smoke, Resa didn't know where to find a few wooden sticks, on which were wearing a few slices of meat, the slices of meat made a sizzling sound under the scorching flame, and a faint aroma of roasted meat diffused here.
Seeing that the meat was already cooked, Ressa ate it, the meat of the sandstone horned lizard was relatively hard, and Resa didn't think of himself as a cooking material, sure enough, the golden barbecue looked very attractive, and when he ate it, the meat was old and a little hairy, the corner of Ressa's mouth twitched, and finally he couldn't help but spit out the meat.
The previous battle had cost him a lot of stamina and abilities, and although he had brought compressed solid water and solid food pellets, he used them a little less, and more of them just to relieve hunger, and if he wanted to recover his abilities quickly, it would be faster to eat the flesh of the ground beast.
Not to mention that Resa chewed the stonehorn lizard barbecue like chewing wax, about 50 meters behind him, the sand dunes began to slide silently, and after a while, a pitch-black hole appeared under the dunes, and a slender figure appeared, looking around vigilantly, and only walked out after confirming that there was no danger.
While patting the dust on his body, he whispered: "The sandstorm outside is so annoying, every time I come out, I get dirty, and this time I don't know if I can find water and prey." "Listening to the voice, it was a woman.
"Sniff......... Sniff .................." The tip of the woman's nose twitched slightly: "Why does it smell like barbecue?" Following the scent, the woman climbed the sand dunes lightly, fumbled through a periscope from her pocket, and looked in the direction where the smell had drifted away.
"........." The girl took back the mirror and turned over and lay on the beach: "I'm a good girl, that big guy actually died, it looks like he was electrocuted, could it be that the legend was struck by lightning?" The girl bit her lip, and then reacted, this is a good thing, while it has not attracted the attention of other earth beasts, dig up its crystal nucleus, no matter how you say it, it is also a second-order earth beast, this crystal nucleus must be sold for a good price on the black market.
And this big guy's body of flesh should help more poor people who can't eat. Thinking of this, the girl lightly rolled down the dirt slope, and she was excited in her heart, but she didn't notice that the smell she smelled was different from the burnt smell on the big guy's body, nor did she find a scorched black hole behind the big guy's head.
The little one should be glad to think that the things that had been stolen had come back, and they were getting more and more. The corners of the girl's mouth curled slightly, looking at the sandstone horned lizard a few meters away, smelling the smell of meat in the air, the girl swallowed her saliva.
Don't look at the fact that she has helped a lot of people, but she hasn't eaten enough for a long time.
With such a big stone horned lizard, it won't consume much meat in a full meal, right?
The girl thought, and just as she turned the corpse of the stonehorned lizard, a black hole in the muzzle of a cannon pressed against her forehead............
