Chapter 233: It's Really a Pot of Maps
"I'm sorry ......"
After a period of silence, Merlin suddenly fled from the arms of the Emperor Taiyi, and made a very small voice with his hair down.
"At least bury them well."
Huang Taiyi had no other tools, so he picked up the cane that he used as a weapon.
The trembling hands finally returned to normal.
"Hmm."
Merlin didn't say much, and honestly dug a pit with Huang Taiyi.
The king of beasts in the cave probably can't be buried, so let this mountain be his mausoleum, which is also a mausoleum that conforms to the identity of a king.
There is not a trace of sadness on the faces of the Black Panther and the Primordial Macho Men, and they seek ultimate relief, even if it is not happiness.
"Big brother, why is that?"
Merlin finally reopened, and the work at hand did not stop.
"Maybe it's faith."
"Faith?"
"Yes, maybe they think they can only rise to the ...... if they remain human No, to be able to return to the place where the ancestors' souls are, I'm just guessing, that's why they don't want to become monsters, and even choose to commit suicide. ”
Huang Taiyi lowered his head and continued to dig a pit.
If you change to some other people, you may simply indulge yourself, and after doing all kinds of evil, you will simply become an irrational monster and continue to do evil.
"I see, it's similar to those who think God can save them, big brother, do you believe in God?"
"I don't believe in God, on the contrary, I am very sure that God exists, but I doubt very much that God can do anything for us human beings."
Huang Taiyi did not deliberately exclude his superhuman identity, and this remark was definitely from his heartfelt personal experience.
"Big brother said it like he had seen God."
"I've really seen it, and I'll show you if I have a chance, it's alive."
"Don't comfort me with such comforting words, I'm not afraid."
"But I'm serious."
As the mood of the Emperor Taiyi and Merlin recovered, the progress of the work also increased rapidly.
Soon the Black Panther and the others were buried, hoping that their souls would really be able to return somewhere.
"They have left a lot of things behind, and we should make good use of them to be worthy of such a big sacrifice."
Huang Taiyi is not greedy for profit, but he feels that it is the right thing to do at this time.
"I understand, open it first and see what's there."
Merlin did not object, after all, survival materials themselves are very valuable things.
As a result, important discoveries were made all at once.
"It's an accurate map...... Oh no, I'm so impressed. ”
Huang Taiyi really had the idea of crying on the spot.
A real map, which is not hand-drawn or drawn, is a large map that has been determined by repeated manual revisions on the basis of printed maps.
As soon as you compare it with the original map, you can immediately understand why so much rush time has been wasted, and even the comparison charts of different time periods of each force are marked.
The mysterious force above confronting the wild army seems to be coming from the direction pointed by the arrow, which is unfortunately not specified.
Could it really be some Martian from heaven? But it doesn't seem particularly strange, after all, this is a chaotic era, and there is a possibility of forces trying to compete for hegemony at will.
This map alone is actually enough to exchange the reward for killing the mad beast, at least the emperor thinks so, but neither the Black Panther nor the King of Beasts has time to make this request.
The shortest route to the Circle Prison can also be confirmed.
"Big brother! There's a blank ID here! And it seems like there's more than one! ”
Merlin squatted beside the Imperial Taiyi in surprise with a few square pamphlets.
"And that kind of thing."
"Yes, since the eldest brother has wandered here, there must be no identity certificate, but if you want to survive in a force, there will usually be this kind of thing. That's right.,This is the identity of the Wild Academy.,The name is blank.,And it's recognized by the King of Beasts himself...... Eldest brother? ”
"I see, this identity can be used, it's really helpful, don't move the other proofs first, there is a possibility of exposure."
Huang Taiyi took the identity certificate.
Let's not say it's a student ID......
I thought about how to fake such a thing, but after thinking about it, it turned out that it was not easy.
Because in most places, the technology of "printing" has degraded to an unimaginable extent, or even at all, for example, the map just now, although it is printed, is very crude.
In contrast, there is no place to get a color-printed identity certificate except for the strong person who controls one force, and even if it is forged, it is a fight between immortals, and the identity certificates of several other forces found at the same time are an example.
"yes, no one will doubt it anymore......"
Merlin sighed slightly in disappointment.
Now the identity of the wild school park is very safe.,After all, there's no proof of death.,Then you don't need to think about anything else.。
Next, there is a certain guarantee in terms of access.
Identification is not very meaningful in the relatively chaotic border areas, but in the areas where the big forces are strictly controlled and operated, the use of many facilities requires a certificate, and people who do not have a certificate have to go to the black market to buy things, and even more strict places cannot even enter and exit freely, which is very inconvenient.
Considering what the future holds, there is a real need for a proof.
"After dealing with the mad beast, we have to hurry up, the force that controls this territory should change the new certificate, we will set off after a break, remember to pick as many things as we can take with us, if only we had a car."
Huang Taiyi finally remembered the power of civilization.
"Yes."
"Yes...... Have it? ”
There really is.
It's just a trolley, but even the wheels are metal, and it looks very sturdy at first glance, so it's really a home trip...... It's a delicate item that you probably don't need at ordinary times.
Why does it look like it's a garbage collector, forget it, now is not the time to dwell on this kind of thing.
Pushing a trolley in the wilderness should be a bit delicate, and no one should complain anyway.
"Shall we act as bounty hunters?"
As he spoke, Merlin pulled out two of the better ones from the blank identification.
"That is, a 'merchant' who doesn't have any goods, right, it should be okay."
Huang Taiyi filled in his name on the blank certificate, ostensibly identifying as a traveling merchant.
In this chaotic world, there are many bounty hunters.
As most people understand, this profession can never represent "justice" or "order", or even be the spokesperson of "chaos".
A group of bounty hunters may be mercenaries today, bandits tomorrow, and in another day they will be listed as merchants, and generally speaking, most of the groups that carry the identity of merchants but do not have any goods other than weapons are engaged in this business, and in the eyes of the people who live honestly, they are not much different from bandits.
"Then I'm ...... Well, take it with you. ”
Merlin placed the written ID on his chest, and then burned the rest of the certificate with the Emperor.
Anyway, you can still survive without proof, and what you can really rely on is strength after all, and proof is just a prop that makes it easier to act.
Loaded on the cart were dried meat and other grains that could be stored for a long time and some weapons equipped by the wild army, that is, spears, which were inspected in detail by Emperor Taiyi, and were basically more sophisticated than the best swords in the village, but the appearance was relatively rough so it looked very primitive.
There are also some spare swords, and it seems that they will also use this type of weapon, but there is no shadow of bows and arrows.
There are no firearms or *, and the like.
As for the person pulling the cart, of course, it is Huang Taiyi, and there is no room for change.
By the way, with better quality tents and capes, as well as brand new knee pads, wrist pads, and boots, the seemingly primitive macho men seem to be very good at making this kind of items, is it because they are all leather products?
The target has been determined, which is the nearest village to the current coordinates.
The movement of the emperor stroking the map during the break was almost numb.
This is a map with references and route markers!
What was that before! In less than half a day, the road is almost three times as before, and the red has horns, you know!
It really went well.
It goes smoothly enough to be able to forget about physical fatigue.
However......
"Big brother! If you turn it over from here, you will see the village ...... on the map."
Merlin's shouting stopped abruptly, and his sword-carrying left hand gripped the scabbard tightly, and stood there motionless, like a statue constantly blown by the dirty wind.
"Looks like it's getting late."
The Emperor knew what Merlin, who was exploring the path ahead, saw.
This kind of thing was actually expected at the beginning, but this is not the same thing as being able to accept it.
The village, with more than 40 houses, is now empty.
The blood stains that had long since dried up were smeared in large chunks on the ground, and the only creatures that could be seen were birds pecking at the carcass.
This is the farthest village from the battlefield, in fact, it is not a village in the true sense of the word, it is more appropriate to call it a sentry meeting, not far from the village is a watchtower guarding the bandits and some fortifications that have been being built, and most of the people living in the village are temporary workers and the families of the defenders.
Ironically, the fortifications were almost not destroyed.
The internal disaster completely destroyed the village.
The corpses were all mutilated, and from the shape of the corpses were completely the result of being torn apart by some kind of creature with great power, it was also possible to observe the state of the beastly mutation, and it was theorized that they should have died from the cannibalism after the mutation.
Bestials have no reason to speak of, and the living creatures around them will probably only be treated as food and enemies.
Huang Taiyi did not enter the village directly, it should be impossible to leave a living mouth, and it is impossible for the dead man to explain what happened before.
And, it also means a very bad truth.
The catastrophe caused by the mad beast has begun to spread, and no one knows how far it has come.
Hopefully the next village on the map isn't so bad.
He can only expect this level of hope for the future.
