Chapter 52: These People Who Survive
While Jim was telling the story of their country, Ruan Chi also opened his system map to see where he was.
This is indeed the easternmost place on the map, with the endless sea of bitterness in the east, the free federation of the human race bordered to the northwest, the country of the dwarven hills to the south, and more than a dozen large and small neighbors to the west, one of which is the Ranster kingdom where Ruan Chi stayed before.
However, the display of the Kingdom of Rance on the system map has turned gray, needless to say, because it has been destroyed.
Seeing this, the corners of Ruan Chi's mouth twitched, although he didn't have any impression at all, it still seemed to be related to himself in the final analysis.
Silently closing the map, Jim's voice rang in his ears again.
"That meteor is actually the waste thrown down here by the airships made by some neighboring dwarves in the neighboring country."
"Waste?"
"Well, there are a lot of things in it, although most of them are domestic waste, but if you are lucky, you can find leftover bread, ** wheat, and a small amount of clothes from it......"
"Your life is bleak enough...... Ruan Chi sympathetically.
"Haha, I've lived here since I was a child, and I'm not used to it." Jim grinned, showing white teeth that didn't match his dark skin.
Seeing this, Ruan Chi couldn't help but think of the real world, and those poor non-continental blacks in history in the past lived a life similar to what Jim said.
Along the way, Ruan Chi now had other wanderers besides Jim and their team of wanderers, also in groups of three or five. And Ruan Chi also noticed that among these people, there were actually some strange-looking weirdos.
There are strange people with dark green skin, green faces and fangs, and heads like kelp, orcs with long gray fur and a wolf's head on their heads, and dwarfs who are less than a meter tall and thick as a wine barrel.
As if seeing Ruan Chi's question, Jim explained beside him: "The land of this country is a three-way zone, and other races have also wandered here for various reasons, so it is normal to be able to see orcs and dwarves. ”
"They're all for the shooting stars?"
"Yes, the land of this country, because of the devastation of the Third War of the Throne, cannot grow crops at all, and we have to survive by picking up the garbage that our neighbors put here from time to time."
"What's the difference between this and a beggar......" Ruan Chi whispered, but then he felt very curious and asked, "Since life here is so difficult, why don't you go to other countries, aren't you Terrans?" The Terrans of the Great 6 of the Miracles seem to have a very high status. ”
"Only those in power are in high status."
A cold and hard voice suddenly interjected, and the person who answered Ruan Chi's question was actually Howard, who was originally walking in front of the team.
"Although the Terrans practice multi-country autonomy, and there are no less than a hundred kingdoms in the center of the Big 6, the real rulers have always been the Free Federation."
"Free Federation?" Although Ruan Chi had seen the background of the game of "Knight's Heart" before the game, and knew the biggest force of the Terran, he didn't know anything about its specific status.
"The Free Federation is a parliamentary state formed by the kings of the Terran countries, and has always controlled the military and political power of the Terrans, and only those who obey their rule are qualified to live in their territory."
"In other words, you can leave here and live in the country they rule, so why not?"
"Go? Why go to that kind of place? Howard sneered: "We are the descendants of slaves who escaped from somewhere, and we have no civilian status in other countries, and if we return to somewhere, we will only be rebranded as slaves." ”
Ruan Chi was stunned, and couldn't help but think of what Jim had just said, most of the people in their country were abandoned slaves or exiled politicians from nearby neighboring countries.
No wonder they don't want to go back, Ruan Chi thought silently.
……
The distance of 1o kilometers is not long, it is not short, about half an hour, everyone finally saw a circular shallow pit in front of everyone, in the middle of the pit, lying a cylindrical iron bucket, nearly ten meters high, because the impact of the fall was too great, the surface has been cracked.
"This thing is a shooting star?" Ruan Chi stopped and raised his hand to look at the huge thing.
Suddenly, a figure flickered in the distance, and on the other side of the wasteland, a group of people rushed over, and from a distance, there were also hundreds of people.
They were obviously also a group of wanderers who came for the meteor, and they also saw Ruan Chi and the others from a distance, but they didn't care, but stood where they waited.
"What, why don't we go and find food?" Ruan Chi thought that everyone would rush up as soon as they came, but he didn't expect everyone to stop, and they didn't mean to do anything.
"Can't get any closer." Despite the blazing gaze in his eyes, Jim said so.
"Why?"
Ruan Chi also saw that at this time, another group of wanderers came from another direction, this time there were more than two hundred people.
"Most of the meteors are useless household garbage thrown away by neighboring countries, and there are very few things that can really be eaten. Howard said in a deep voice.
"That is, whoever grabs it belongs to whom?" Ruan Chi asked.
Although Howard just nodded and didn't answer, judging from the growing number of wanderers gathered at the scene, the competition was still quite large.
Most of these wanderers are Terrans, but there are also orcs and dwarves, but they are not as numerous as Terrans, and they gather together, more than hundreds, and as few as a dozen.
At this moment, everyone is staring at the iron bucket on the shallow pit, and no one wants to make the first move, because according to past experience, the first person to do it will be attacked by others.
In the end, instead of grabbing the food, they will die a tragic death here.
Time passed bit by bit, and still no one did anything, but the wanderers were talking to each other, as if they were discussing solutions.
Ruan Chi was a little bored waiting, yawned and originally wanted to find a place to sit, but at this time, there was another sound of footsteps in the distance.
"Da Da Da ~!"
Soon, another group of people appeared in the distance, only a few dozen people, but when they saw them, Howard and Jim's expressions became solemn.
That group of people was all orcs, minotaurs, kobolds, and bird-headed people. For that, he is a one-eyed wolf-headed man.
"It's them, the one-eyed lone wolf, Sharjah!"
Seeing Jim's frightened expression, Ruan Chi asked curiously, "This guy is very powerful?" ”
"I guess I am the master of this wasteland, although there are not many people in the group of wanderers, but they are all composed of strong orcs, and they have a great advantage in this kind of battle."
I didn't expect that just to find food and get it like a gangster fight, Ruan Chi couldn't help but be interested when he saw this kind of scene.
The one-eyed lone wolf Sharjah, the addition of this orc man, made the originally peaceful atmosphere present immediately tense, because this lone wolf was leading his people in the direction of the meteor at this moment.
