Chapter 340: Bone Ruins! Bounty in the Sky Garden
"We don't use the fruit of Phobetan for human trials." Malik answered Bai Jing's question seriously.
Bai Jing also put on a dignified and mature appearance, and continued to ask, "Why?" If children can become bigger and stronger after eating, won't they have more combat power to protect their parents? ”
Malik looked at me and sighed, as if to say that my daughter was very sensible, and then said, "There are many people in this world beyond the mountain who are doing the kind of things you said, and we don't need to spend too much energy." ”
"Tut-tut," Bai Jing shook her head helplessly, "It's a pity, wouldn't it be possible to create a Spider-Man for the benefit of mankind?" Do you know that with great power comes great responsibility? ”
Malik laughed: "I liked Spider-Man when I was in college, and I was scolded by people who liked Iron Man for being a dick who couldn't afford to rely on mutations. ”
At this time, Rose spoke: "You said that you don't conduct human experiments, what happened to the young people who came in from the village down the mountain before?" Why did they die of dead wounded wounds, and paralyzed in bed turned into madmen? ”
"Most of them were eaten by aggressive beasts." Malik took out his bottle of cologne from his belt bag and said, "The creatures who ate the fruit of Ferbetan hated the taste of this bottle, so I sprayed some of this cologne every time I went out, and it would also reduce the attack of a small number of creatures, but as you can see, even if I sprayed cologne, we still saw a lot of creatures in the vicinity, and they were attacked violently because we stepped into their territory." Then it is conceivable that those who do not have any preparation and understanding will have a very bleak fate if they strayed into Beihuang Mountain. ”
Malik put away the cologne and continued: "Although we can't control the Ferbetan creatures at the moment, in fact, the biggest dream of the people in the Hanging Gardens is to hope that the Ferbetan creatures can launch a cleanup of zombies and other D virus lifeforms in the future, so as to achieve the goal of returning a peaceful home to mankind." ”
After a pause, Malik looked at us affectionately and said, "We who exude the brilliance of humanity like this will not do those things that are human experiments, I hope you can believe it." ”
Rose didn't ask any more questions, and Malik changed his words, "Now can we go on?" ”
What he said gave us a basic understanding of our environment, and I held out my hand and motioned for him to lead the way.
It was fast to noon, and the hours of climbing the wild mountain had exhausted almost everyone's physical strength, but fortunately we finally managed to climb a peak where we could rest peacefully for a long time, but this was not the main peak where the Sky Garden was located.
There is a very open, low-lying terrain about 10 meters below the peak, half the size of a football field, which can be said to be devoid of grass, compared to the lush greenery of the surrounding mountains, this lowland seems to have been shoveled by a huge razor.
Malik pointed to the potholes in the middle of the lowlands and said, "Look there, we call it the cemetery, and the ones that come out of the ground are bones." ”
I looked over the land, and there were many white objects that had broken through the ground, and when Malik said this, I realized that the white of the whole lowland, when connected with each other, looked like the bones of a very large creature.
In particular, the most shocking thing is the half-buried creature skull, which is half-exposed in the loess, which looks ...... It's like a dinosaur.
"What's that?"
"It's called a weevil." Malik folded his hands and bowed twice, and continued, "It is the last king of the Northern Emperor Mountain. ”
"Is that an elephant or a big bug?"
Malik shook his head and said, "No, it was originally a hedgehog." ”
"Hedgehog!? The hedgehog looks like a dinosaur!? "I suddenly had the image of a giant T-Rex in a hedgehog skin.
"It's just a skull, not really." Malik looked at me as if he was a middle two and waved his hand repeatedly, "After eating Ferbetan, this hedgehog's physique and combat power quickly surpassed all of its kind, and then within half a year, it became more powerful than any creature in the Northern Emperor Mountain. ”
"And how did it die?"
Malik looked at me and said, "There is an old saying in China, which is called the wood shows in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. ”
I nodded in acknowledgement.
"It was defeated by a combination of many wild beasts, I have not seen it with my own eyes, but I have heard that at that time almost all the fierce predators in the Northern Emperor Mountain were gathered here, including the giant serpent Bajirisk and the king of the weasel that we saw in that cave earlier, they fought with the weevils for a long time, paid countless casualties, and finally defeated the first king of Phobetan."
Any force that wants to take over precious resources on its own will end up like this, I smiled bitterly a few times, and then asked, "Is there a new king?" ”
Malik nodded, "The current king of Ferbetan is the Northern Emperor Wolf, and it was also the one who finally bit the weevil back then!" ”
I also wanted to ask the Northern Emperor Wolf what virtue it was, when a cough came from the rose behind me, I looked back at the tired woman and the two children, and asked Malik about the matter: "How long will we go to the Hanging Garden?" ”
Malik didn't speak, just stared straight at the low ground below, and was stunned for a while before he spoke: "Soon! Mr. Shi, but I hope you can complete the bodyguard task again. ”
"What's the matter?"
Malik pointed to the low ground and said: "I have agreed with others to make a deal here, they are not simple people, now that I have no Keno Severi, I hope you can protect me during the transaction." ”
I looked at Malik's fanny pack, "Which metal box are you trading?" ”
"Yes," said Malik, "it is very important, and of course, I will repay you well when I return to the Hanging Garden, and your family will receive the greatest privilege...... Oh no, it's the best treatment. ”
"I always feel like I'm in your trap!" I took a closer look at the terrain around the lowlands and asked, "So you stole this thing from the Hanging Gardens, right?" ”
"No," Malik explained, calmly, "you don't know about the Hanging Gardens, which are the perfect place for a lot of like-minded people to form and work in a way that builds official and non-official bases around the world through a network of satellites. The connection between the land, to achieve the state of resource convergence and power sharing, the specific operation is to convene various tasks in the form of a bounty, and is not subject to any legal and moral constraints, no matter any individual or group to take on a bounty task, you can use any means designed by yourself to complete it, and finally get the corresponding reward. ”
My eyes narrowed after listening, I had heard of this kind of satellite network connection in the past, and its processing speed was more immediate than the fast track that Ye Tianming had mentioned to me.
"I heard that the Yutian New District was destroyed," I asked jokingly, "Wouldn't this be the one you contacted in the middle?" ”
Malik shook his head, "At least I don't know about this, the item to be traded this time is my first contact with a base that can involve Qingyang's level. Earth, Yutian and Qingyang are not much different. ”
"That's a lot worse!" I replied with self-deprecation and asked, "What form of reward did you just say?" ”
"The most direct is virtual currency, which can be exchanged for other electronic coins or currencies that are still in operation after getting your hands, but many people no longer choose these, and there are many forms of compensation."
"What about your pay this time?"
Malik smiled helplessly and said, "What I want is the right to live." ”
As he was talking, three humans dressed in black came out of the edge of the forest directly opposite the lowland.
