CHAPTER IX

"We can't name it, supposedly that would be perceived by it. In fact, no one remembers what it actually is. I only know that it is some kind of extradimensional life form that entered with that invasion.

I don't know if you noticed it, after the entire civilization was shattered by the war. In fact, there is no winner. Neither humans nor orcs actually won. The humans have lost everything, but the orcs are no longer as powerful as they were when the darkness invaded.

After the source of the invasion was stopped, the orcs were actually degrading. After the whole war is fought, except for the destruction of the entire civilization, there is actually no winner at all. And most of the intelligent life forms that came with the invasion were gradually annihilated during the war and in the time to come. Only those orcs infected by humans remained, multiplying from generation to generation, becoming a cancer in this land. Our guess is that maybe the world itself is actually rejecting those things. So they die gradually. It's just that those orcs were originally creatures of this world, so they were able to survive.

But there is an exception to all this, and there is one last it. The last of those invading intelligent beings. It doesn't know how to use it to escape the rejection of the world. Always active in this world. He gathered and trained the orcs to form armies and raid human settlements. Trying to open the passage of the dark dimension once again and make it happen again.

There has been more than one leader in this world who has tried to rebuild human civilization. But in the end, they all died at its hands. As long as the settlement is too large to hide, it will inevitably attract its attention. Then it will not be far from destruction. Therefore, the rest of the people can only hide from it in the east and in the west. ”

"And what is the Black Tower? It sounds like a safe place to be. ”

"Safety? Maybe. The Black Tower is what stops the source of the invasion. It was some kind of defensive weapon built at the end of the war, with the power of the entire civilization. Of course, this is just a legend. In fact, we don't even know what the Black Tower is. All we know is that it never dared to approach the Black Tower. It seems that as soon as it gets closer, it will be weakened. The same goes for those orcs.

So the area around the Black Tower is the safest place in the world. Unfortunately, there is limited space and can only accommodate a small number of people. So it's only after the population shrinks that they call in a new population. A deformed social structure, but it is the spark of humanity as a whole. ”

"It's a strange world." Su Yuan was moved. Then he asked:

"What about you? I've seen your marksmanship. Obviously, you are not an ordinary person in this world. I don't see anyone else here like you. ”

"I'm a gunslinger. It is a profession that has sprung up in the wasteland civilization. "The original dark forces invaded the entire world. The impact is much more complex than you think. Most of them were directly infected, turning into those deformed orcs. But there are some differences. Our ancestors were also affected, but not outwardly transformed.

In fact, this transformation is difficult to explain in words. Almost all of the technology is lost, and we can't do a deep self-examination. It can only be said that our various senses have become more powerful. It even gives us a somewhat mysterious ability. It's hard to put it into words, but there is a sentence in our gunslinger that can be reflected. We don't kill people with guns, we use our hearts. ”

In all fairness, Su Yuan's first impression when he heard this sentence was some kind of pretending lines of the protagonist of the movie. But it's clear that Ethan uses it here for something else. Or literally.

"Let me guess, you can target the enemy with your mind?"

"Hehe, you understand very quickly. That's pretty much what it means. It's just that almost all of the gunslingers die in the day-to-day battles. We are the ones it focuses on. The first generation of gunmen was able to resist its black magic by their own will. But we can't do it anymore.

It is like an immortal ghost, roaming the world. But we are not as good as the next generation, and it is my generation. I can't face it head-on. Ethan's tone became a little decadent as he said this. Obviously very dissatisfied with himself.

“.…..” Su Yuan didn't even know how to comfort him for a while. He still couldn't understand what Ethan was talking about. I don't know how to comfort them. But Ethan quickly put away that decadent expression.

"I'm sorry, I haven't told anyone about this in a long time, and few people who are still alive pay attention to these things. It's hard enough for them to be alive. Okay, it's almost time, let's get started. Are you ready? ”

Su Yuan actually wanted to say that he hadn't yet. After all, the broken machine in front of me really doesn't look very reliable. But he nodded stubbornly.

"That's good, get ready, when the shuttle door opens, you can walk over."

"It's as simple as that?"

"Sure, soon." As soon as Ethan finished speaking, he heard a violent explosion overhead. The entire basement shook, and the otherwise stable machine flickered. Ethan didn't dare to open it casually.

Su Yuan grabbed the shotgun beside him and rushed forward with a painful face. Seeing that the way home was in sight, someone was making trouble at this time. Su Yuan felt that he could now shoot the troublemaker in the face without changing his face. It's just that when he rushed out, he was stunned.

Not far away, a team of heavily armed soldiers like modern special forces was forming a team to push the entire town. They are ferocious in their firepower, and they are constantly throwing high-explosive grenades, destroying all visible buildings.

The townspeople are revolting, but they only have a few shotguns and pistols, and many of them are using bows and arrows. The firepower of both sides is really not a grade.

"Get down." Ethan rushed out from behind and pushed Su Yuan to the ground.

"Don't move, it's the one who is it. He's got it. ”

That's when a squad of soldiers spotted them. Turning towards them. But they're dealing with 'gunslingers'. Ethan fired his bow left and right, and fired two guns in succession. A burst of fire, within a few seconds, completely wiped out a team of eight. But this time, he didn't rush out to kill the Quartet as Su Yuan imagined. Instead, he immediately turned around and hid again.

Su Yuan clearly saw that his hands were shaking a little, and he was afraid. Su Yuan suddenly understood, he was afraid of the arrival of that thing. A grenade flew through the air, and Ethan froze for a moment, then raised his hand to blow it up. But his reaction was already a little too slow. The shock wave of the grenade explosion has already affected both of them.

A wave of air hit, knocking both of them back into the basement at the same time.

After a while, Su Yuanyuan stood up dizzily. saw Ethan's expression was a little wrong and looked behind him. He was startled and looked back. I saw that the original flashing indicators had all been extinguished. That instrument,...... It seems to be broken.
