Empty-handed and without any luggage, Qiu Xuan was the first to arrive at the meeting point.

She dragged her old waist and moved a small bench to sit on the ground, and then she heard the mistress who was still tied to the chair calling her.

"I heard them say, your name is Qiu Xuan, right?"

"Something?"

"I have no ill will." The hostess hurriedly explained, as soon as the words fell, it seemed that she realized that what she said was inappropriate, and she pursed her lips a little embarrassed. "I just wanted to say that you reminded me of someone. I'm never going to get a chance again anyway, but if you have a chance to meet him at Nobel later, can you bring me a word? ”

The hostess paused, she looked at Qiu Xuan, her gaze seemed to be looking at another person through her. "I've only seen one person of your utterly fatal play," she said, "the black man who crawled out of the slums and later became the leader of a mercenary group." ”

"If you can see him, just say it for me. El Metra repents of her sins all the time, and she will eventually follow the prophets of her predecessors into the door of truth. ”

……

On the way to Chuanliu Town, they encountered an uninvited guest.

The crowd spontaneously formed a defensive stare at the "man" vigilantly, while the man whose body was half covered in cold hard metal still walked towards them on his own.

No. 1: "You guys are going, the main city, take me one." ”

Shuying frowned, relenting a little, but still not letting down his guard. "Why did you come with us to the main city, and who are you?"

Number One: "I am One." ”

Qiu Xuan: "You'd better be 1." ”

No. 1: "......"

He froze in place for a moment, as if some old-fashioned machine had suddenly snapped, and after a while, Number One spoke again in his stiff and cold voice: "You have in and out, Nobelis, pass." Take one with me, I'm going, revenge. ”

"Revenge? Who do you want to get revenge on, for turning you into someone like this? Shuying asked.

Number One shook his head, "I don't remember." He said, "As long as you take me, I can help you fight." ”

Shuying was silent, indeed, in today's plague-ridden situation, one more powerful teammate is a guarantee. But no one can guarantee that this "teammate" will not turn back halfway. She turned her pleading gaze to the rest of the team, and needless to say, the old man, who himself was reluctant to join the team, could have agreed to go with someone who clearly seemed to be dangerous.

Qiu Xuan is a person who has seen the strength of No. 1 with his own eyes, and it is no exaggeration to say that if he really wants to do it, then all the people present will add up, and I am afraid that the old man can fight him for two rounds, or the kind that will lose after two rounds. But he really didn't seem to have any such intentions, which can be seen even from his deliberate release of water last night.

The people in the team discussed for a while, and Shuying itself had a slight intention of this, so in the end, under the vigilance of everyone, No. 1 stepped into the journey with them.

After several waves of scattered infected, they made it to Stream.

One of the most prosperous central hubs of the Steam Age, Riverstream lives up to its name, with several long winding passages surrounding the central town like a spider's web. Merchants and intelligence dealers from all over the world are gathered here, and the underground black market is rampant, so as long as you have enough access and money, you can build your own underground kingdom here.

Of course, this was only once.

God did not discriminate equally, and with the exception of Nobele, the arm of the plague reached almost everywhere on the continent. When Qiu Xuan and the others arrived, several black people were begging and crying under the towering wall, the soldiers stationed on the wall were indifferent, and behind several black people, dozens of infected people roared along the breath of flesh and blood.

"It's too much, we have to help them." Shuying took the first step, and his hands were already in the shape of a knot, ready to go.

The old man sneered at this, "What if you save them now?" They're just black, and even if you do bring them into town, they won't survive for a few days. ”

"That's why you can't save yourself because of this?" Shuying said incredulously, "What's wrong with black people, black people are not qualified to live?" ”

"Whatever you want." The old man didn't even bother to roll his eyes, and stood aside to watch the play with his chest folded. "Anyway, I said a long time ago, black people are destined to be the product of the era, so why waste time on them."

Shuying gritted her teeth and glared at him, and seeing that the approaching infected people on the other side were about to catch up with those black people, she quickly turned around and threw a few magic elements over.

Unfortunately, as the plague spreads more and more, those infected seem to have somehow acquired the ability to evolve again. What used to be solved with a few orbs is now only a short delay in infecting people's attacks.

Seeing this, Heng Xie also rushed up and recited the incantation silently. Only this time, he carefully took off his robe and put it back in his backpack before transforming into King Kong and fighting as a mage.

Qiu Xuan stood in place and touched the machete that came over, and then looked at the wound on the tiger's mouth that could be covered with a layer of blood scabs, she thought about it, and gently poked the No. 1 standing next to her with the handle of the knife with her backhand.

"Hey, Mammoth 1, it's your turn."

No. 1: "...... Don't call me that. ”

"Whatever. But if you want to catch the line of sparse shadows, you have to pay a corresponding price, don't you? ”

No. 1 slowly turned his face sideways and stared at Qiu Xuan with his cold and inorganic mechanical eyes, "You say, what? ”

"It's no fun to play stupid." As if he hadn't seen that maggot-like gaze at all, Qiu Xuan still looked straight ahead, "Although I don't know what your purpose of going to Nobelis is, but in any case, we are also superficial teammates on the surface, and this kind of false superficial kung fu must also be done enough, what do you say?" ”

One stopped talking. There was another suffocating silence, in stark contrast to the two on the other side, who were in full swing. And at this moment, the gears on the No. 1 metal arm suddenly began to spin at high speed, and in less than a second, he had already swooped into the infected population, leaving only an afterimage in the air.

With the addition of No. 1, the battle ended quickly with almost a one-sided crushing situation. The rescued black men sat limply on the ground, as if they couldn't believe they had survived.

"Are you alright?" Shuying took the handkerchief handed by Hengxie and wiped her sweat, leaned over and asked a few black people with concern.

"I didn't ...... It's okay. The leader was a man who looked relatively young, he gasped for breath, and after reacting to it, he hurriedly pulled the others to thank him.

"It's just a matter of raising your hands." Shuying said, "In the face of such a disaster, people who are still alive should help each other." ”

Qiu Xuan sighed silently in her heart, and she didn't know what kind of person could teach Shuying such a character. If she could, she wished she could keep that kindness forever, but in this kind of world, the word itself is nonsense.

"I have a letter of entrustment from the mercenary group, please let us in." On this side, Shuying was still negotiating with the guards on the wall.

After a long and complicated identity check, the person in charge of Chuanliu Town finally relented.

"You and the people you bring with you can go in." "But all black people must stay in quarantine." ”
