Chapter 277: Bad News
Just as the two of them were about to return to the stronghold, they suddenly saw a group of abyssal creatures chasing something in the distance, and they looked at it with a spell, it was a team of embarrassed people. Just as he watched for a while, Cui Yubao saw that a person fell to the ground without dodging the attack from behind, and then was crushed by the abyssal creature that followed.
Before Cui Yubao could react, Intergrete suddenly accelerated and flew towards the abyssal creatures, waving the lightsaber in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, all the chasing abyssal creatures were killed by a single blow and then burned to ashes by the exploding lightsaber.
When Cui Yubao landed, the people who fled had stopped, and all the abyssal creatures had been dealt with by Intergret. The fleeing people had obviously lost their strength in the rush they had just done so desperately, and they collapsed to the ground one by one as soon as the threat disappeared.
Looking at these people covered in injuries, Cui Yubao asked, "You are all from there, how can you be chased by hordes of monsters?" β
A person took a few breaths, reluctantly supported and said: "Lord Traveler, we are the expedition team of the 4 strongholds in Shuhebei District, and this time we will trade with the nearest Qidan stronghold. Just now, I was unlucky enough to run into a rare sentient destructive creature, and then it was like this. β
"Oh?" Cui Yubao quietly became vigilant and asked, "As far as I know, although there is an expedition team going out in the 4 strongholds in Shuhebei District, the location of that stronghold is much different from the direction you ran. β
Everyone looked at Cui Yubao in confusion, and Intel Gret said directly: "If they lead those destructive creatures to the stronghold, it is a problem, don't ask, treat them first, a few of them are about to die." β
Cui Yubao, who reacted, smirked embarrassedly twice, and then treated these people, who had just come to this place for two days, and really didn't know much about this kind of thing. Out of guilt, Cui Yubao directly activated the Alaiyah Wings, and in the surprised eyes of these explorers, he wrapped everyone with the source energy of the life system.
When Cui Yubao had almost healed everyone's injuries, these people said, "Two travelers, let's go to our base with us to rest!" Let's thank you both for saving your life. β
"Well, actually, we happened to rest in your base for the past two days, and we came here to investigate some things." Cui Yubao said.
As soon as they heard this, these people all stood up directly, regardless of the exhaustion on their bodies, and took Cui Yubao and Intergrete towards the stronghold, probably in order to prove that they were indeed the people of this stronghold, so they always led the way in front.
Intergrett was also constantly talking to these people along the way, Cui Yubao, who was listening, could be regarded as hearing it, this guy not only came out with a lot of information, but he also said that he was very informative, but it was all nonsense.
However, Cui Yubao also took the opportunity to learn a lot of information, since the destruction of the world, it has completely lost the information exchange with the surrounding area, and there is no government organization in all known ranges, all of them are large and small strongholds, and the strongholds rely on expeditions to exchange information and materials. If you want to go to a farther place, you have to cultivate in the middle of the base to hide from the abyssal creatures at night, and if there is no stronghold in half a day or the stronghold is destroyed, then the path will be invalid.
The Qidan stronghold they said was a large stronghold with nearly 10,000 people, and there were some props left over from the catastrophe, so that there were relatively abundant materials there, and the surrounding small strongholds needed to exchange some self-made products. Of course, these large colonies also have their own maximum number of people, and if there are too many people, they will not be able to provide enough food to sustain people's survival, after all, even fungi need to grow in a place. Of course, it is also to prevent the destruction of a stronghold, there are too many casualties, although this is already a world with no hope at all, but the instinct of survival still drives people to live desperately.
And from their descriptions, it was surmised that at least as far as they knew, there was not a single existence that had reached the law level, and there were no law level abyssal creatures wreaking havoc nearby.
Back in the passage of the stronghold, the people who got the news through the barrier gathered in the passage, looking at the returning explorers with anticipation. But soon everyone's faces stiffened, and only nineteen of the twenty-four people who had set off had returned, two of whom were strangers.
The leader of the expedition said numbly: "Zhaoqing, Binpeng, Wu Ge, Ral, Weiss, Witt, and Riel were killed when they encountered the destructive creatures, and we also relied on these two adults to survive, but the materials needed were not left behind, and they were basically brought back." The 2 stronghold in the south of the lake was destroyed, and I came back two days late from the detour, so it is estimated that the amount of food left for the next expedition will need to be recalculated. β
The elder walked out and said, "You all go and rest, and the others organize their supplies according to their own division of labor." β
After speaking, the elder came to Cui Yubao and Intergritt and bowed solemnly: "Thank you two adults for your help, all the 4 strongholds in Shuhebei District thank you for your help, although our ability is limited, but if there is anything needed, we will do our best to help." β
"Elder, you're too polite, it's just a gesture for us." Cui Yubao said embarrassedly.
"It's a gesture for the two adults, and it's really a lifesaver for us, if something happens to this team, many people in the stronghold will not survive, and even this stronghold may disappear. I'm not afraid of the jokes of the two adults, the frequency of expedition accidents in this stronghold in the past two years is much higher than before, if there is any more big accidents. The elder smiled bitterly and said nothing, but Cui Yubao could guess that it might not be a good result.
Most of the people in the passage had already dispersed with the packages brought back by the expedition, leaving only a few children crying there, and Sasha comforting them softly. But looking at Sasha's clumsy movements and expression on the verge of crying, it can be seen that this kind-hearted little girl is not so strong.
Cui Yubao suddenly turned his head and asked, "Intergret, is this the case with you there?" β
Intelglitte glanced at Cui Yubao lightly and said, "This kind of thing has been going on for tens of thousands of years in our war zone with the Abyss! β
Cui Yubao looked at the dim passage and the children who had just lost their relatives speechlessly, and his thoughts were in confusion.
