Chapter XXII
A month later.
A red maple tree stretches its branches and leaves in the autumn afterglow, allowing this tree's fiery red maple leaves to absorb a little more energy from the sun. Get ready for the coming winter. The golden wheat and cereals in a field in the distance heralded a good harvest season. With them, the toiling people will be able to survive the coming cruel season.
This harvest season is especially important for all the lives that have just recovered from the otherworldly wars that have swept across the continent. The sudden eruption of the catastrophe without warning, the influx of demons, and the unexplained nature of the realm that could not be explained by current knowledge quickly swept most of the continents.
Unable to organize effective resistance, the panicked governments and soldiers were torn to shreds along with their people or turned into slaves of the devil. Earth's technology and weaponry are powerless in the face of this alternate time and space.
Just when people are desperate in pain and fire, they think that the whole earth will become the home of demons. The expansion of the Miracle Atlas came to an unexpected halt, leaving the Earth with two completely different worlds.
In the miracle world, only the land is full of desolation, and the demonic beasts that can be seen everywhere. The surviving humans adapted to the otherworldly environment and became a new kind of evolutionary human. Although they are fighting with the Warcraft every day in order to survive, many people still don't understand what is going on, so can they just continue to fight with the Warcraft endlessly? Although it was unsatisfactory before, the days of not worrying about life and death are gone?
The role of the government in the Otherworld is becoming less and less, and whenever someone can't help but ask these questions, the representatives of those governments are always vague and ask everyone to be patient. They will provide logistics for the witchers in the Atlas, and food and other material resources will continue to be sent into the Atlas. However, it will also force those who have successfully transformed into witchers to leave the Atlas.
Whispers began to be made that those outside had begun to build tall walls along the edge of the Atlas. The government is going to abandon us! Or maybe they just want to use the gossip that we're selling their lives to them and start circulating in private.
But most people still have to survive, and they can only repack their homes and struggle to survive. In the blink of an eye, almost 2 years have passed.
The few clouds in the sky were reflected in the sunset's blood-red, and the contrast was even stronger against the deep blue sky. There are still some forgotten bones in the bushes by the roadside, and the white colors of the forest still remind people of the memories of that nightmare.
Su Bai, who was wearing +3 bronze armor, tightened the sword belt around his waist, put the warrior shield in his hand behind his back, and led his team silently under the red maple tree. The team consisted of a dozen young and strong witchers, as well as a thin mage.
Twenty-first level, Su Bai, who was a soldier before he turned into a demon hunter, was already a well-known warrior in the Brave City. His fame was not because of his rank or equipment, but because of his warm-hearted and helpful character.
Some low-level witchers who were formerly civilians were willing to follow him for his combat training and accept the Nices' employment for simple tasks. Although the demon army has long since retreated, there are still various dangers on the Brave Continent. The human homeland has been overrun by all kinds of evil and ferocious creatures and demons.
Their task today is to come out to protect the farmers of the Nice to harvest grain from the farthest field, and escort these carts full of wheat and grain back to the City of the Brave. These grains will be a guarantee for many people to survive the winter, and more than two dozen Nice farmers with farm tools follow behind them.
Su Bai looked at the blood-red clouds in the sky as he walked, and felt very dazzling. Knowing that I haven't come out of that nightmare, the otherworldly war that killed most people. It doesn't matter what kind of hukou they were before, what status they had before, whether they were civil servants, soldiers, policemen, officials or civilians, businessmen, **, beggars seem to be the same in the face of death.
And the ones who bring death are those demons that are endless, and it seems that they can't kill them all. They come from the otherworld, bringing fire, plague, and carnage. Su Bai didn't remember how they appeared, but when he saw them for the first time, the deepest fear in his heart was aroused. Their sharp horns and claws, their evil faces and screams of blood and fire can only be visitors to hell. Their numbers seemed endless, coming towards him and the others like a tidal wave.
Su Bai didn't want to think back to the tragedy at that time, in the first wave of fighting, most of the ordinary people who lived comfortably lost even the courage to resist, and were directly swallowed by the demons. But there are also some people who let out a cry and fight with the monsters, but when they cut off the kitchen knives and sticks in their hands, they found that all kinds of demons were still endless, and they could only let out desperate cries and then be overwhelmed by the terrifying blood tide.
Su Bai felt that he could survive because of God's favor. Originally just a little private, he lost his instincts when he was stunned by something. When he came to his senses, he crawled out of the pile of corpses of his comrades, and found that the whole world had become hell, and only blood and fire burned on the earth.
After surviving his wanderings, he found this safe city for a long time. It doesn't matter what position the surviving witchers used to be, or what their origins were. In the face of the pressure of survival, everyone is equal, and everyone has to contribute their own strength. This is the beginning of a new society and a new atmosphere.
He shook his head, admonishing himself to come to his senses. Everything has passed, and those who survive should cherish the life in front of them. He has nothing to do but use what he has learned in the previous army to protect this hard-won peaceful life.
He looked at the team behind him, even though the young demon hunters were only around level ten. Wearing a variety of low-level armor, he has a variety of weapons in his hands, ranging from hand axes and bows to one-handed swords and shields. But the boys are very demoralised and they train hard.
Su Bai had been training them for more than 3 months, and they had mastered the basic tactical coordination and various weapon skills well. This made him feel a little comforted, these young lives are his own responsibility. There were too many people who died over the years, and he didn't want to see any more unexpected lives passed.
At this moment, the team has walked into a path in the forest, and then climbed a hill not far away to reach the City of the Brave. But the sun is getting more and more oblique, and there is not much light to be seen. The ancient trees in the forest are even more towering, and it is dark and difficult to see the road in front of you.
The screams of some unknown creature could be heard from the depths of the dark woodland, which made people's hearts even more uneasy. Although with Su Bai's twenty-first level and equipment, as long as he is not surrounded by too many monsters on the Brave Continent, there will not be too much danger. But these young people behind him can't, he doesn't want to make any trouble.
Su Bai looked at the slow ox cart behind him and couldn't help but become impatient. A few people lit torches to light the road ahead, while the others went to help the farmer with the cart.
"Hurry up, everyone! You must reach the City of the Brave before dark! "Xiaoli, you go ahead and explore the way!" What's going on is reported quickly! ”
"Okay! Head. The girl named Xiaoli picked up her bow and arrows and ran quickly towards the front of the road, and in a moment disappeared into the dense forest.
