Volume 1: Age of Dawn Chapter 27: The Patrol
"What's wrong?"
Chen Kaiyu asked suspiciously.
Chen Xiaoyue pondered for a while and said.
"In ancient times, only the most intelligent alien beasts could understand human speech...... And the talent of this alien beast is extremely high......"
"In these dark ages, I can tell you very clearly that there is no such alien beast at all." Chen Xiaoyue said very seriously.
"And those who can understand the human voice are currently the only dark creatures, and of course, the dark life must also be of a very high level......"
"So after my judgment, this creature you called the Flame Cat is most likely the heir of the Red Flame Tmall clan."
Chen Kaiyu smiled.
"Perhaps......"
He left a very inexplicable sentence.
"I'm leaving."
"Hmm." Chen Xiaoyue nodded.
"I may come to eat at noon, or maybe I will come, you can see it......"
"Okay."
Chen Kaiyu walked out the door.
After the period of silence, the heavens and the earth are white.
The scorching sun hung high in the sky, and the blazing sun shone on the heavens and the earth.
The ground is damp, all due to the melting of the snow during the dead period.
The current temperature has risen a lot, at least Chen Kaiyu didn't feel the cold that penetrated his heart.
The road surface washed by the heavy snow is clean and picturesque, but there are still dead bodies scattered everywhere...... It smells extremely and unusually rancid.
These corpses will soon be cleaned up by Tianfengcheng's cleaning team...... Throw it out of the city as food for outcasts or aliens and dark creatures......
After the period of silence is over, it is not time for ordinary people to worry...... Instead, it's time to worry about those Heavenly Wind nobles......
Because, the warm period after the period of silence is the creature of darkness...... A time that is no longer dormant.
These tyrannical and bloody creatures will cause riots, they will demand large quantities of food, and they will attack the major cities of the human race, destroying everything in sight.
Thirty years after the establishment of Tianfeng Base City...... Experienced nearly seventeen dark riots......
Among these dead and silent riots, the largest and most vigorous one was the dark riot of the year before.
That time can't actually be regarded as a dark riot, because that war can already rise to the level of war, and the major dark races attack human cities, and humans can only defend unexpectedly......
However, Tianfeng City is still very lucky, maybe it is destined by the heavens in the dark......
Celestial Wind survived that dark havoc because a Bloody Venerable from the Western Paladin Council saved everyone.
It was a vast and bloody battle for the defense of the City, and countless powerful dark creatures were reduced to dust and shards, and their blood spread for thousands of miles, watering the endless fertile soil.
It was also in that battle that Chen Kaiyu knew that there were such majestic and great creatures in this world, and at the same time, from that blood-colored figure, he and Chen Xiaoyue also truly realized the true meaning of this world for the first time.
That's ......
The strong are respected, the strong are supreme, and the strong create all things.
This is the age of iron and blood, and only the strong are worthy of survival, and can dominate all living beings.
Chen Kaiyu walked slowly on the road, and he began to think about what he called the slim future.
The crunch now is to earn enough white source coins before you can go to school, which is the most urgent thing right now.
Because of Chen Kaiyu, he must gain a foothold in Tianfeng City......
Chen Kaiyu thought about it, he took out the hunter instrument in his pocket and opened the hunter mission.
Then he searched for it, and he took a general look, and the hunter tasks posted on the platform were acceptable, and the difficulty was not too great.
But Chen Kaiyu didn't immediately make a choice to accept the task, he wanted to go to Tianfeng Inner Fort to take a look and see if there were any better opportunities there......
Just like the last time he did, it was incredible to meet the Queen's gift.
Moreover, Chen Kaiyu also had to go to the school and return the borrowed ancient book to the teaching class.
Although the period of dead silence has passed...... But there was still a silence in the streets.
After coming to the Third Primary Energy College in the Outer City of Tianfeng, Chen Kaiyu came to the place where he was teaching and studying according to the familiar route, he put the ancient books on the desk of the teaching, and then left.
The school was empty, save for the lethargic security guards hired by the school...... Because it's not time to go to school yet.
After returning the book, Chen Kaiyu entered the inner city.
He wandered the inner city, scouring for information about job openings.
At present, Chen Kaiyu is very eager to find a more stable job, and finally, he found a job that suits him very well on a wooden table that seems to be a notice board.
Windy City Patrol.
Requirements: Applicants are required to apply.
The patrol team of Tianfeng City only needs to patrol at night and complete the task at night, which is just in line with Chen Kaiyu's needs.
Because he still has to go to school during the day, he only has time to work at night.
The salary for the work is as follows: Ten white coins are paid every working day.
Chen Kaiyu estimated in his heart that the salary for a natural month is three hundred Baiyuan coins, which can definitely cope with daily eating and drinking.
At the same time, that's definitely a lot of money.
Because, this job is not too dangerous, you just need to do something.
However, with this, night patrols after the Dead Silence period can be easily attacked by dark creatures.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the vast majority of the source people in the city are shy away from this work that can be easily done.
Chen Kaiyu thought so.
He followed the address on the yellowed piece of paper to where he needed to be.
It was a very large hall, with a silver plaque showing the words "City Patrol Brigade".
On the huge bronze pillars on either side are two lines of iron and silver hooks.
This seems to be the purpose of the City Patrol Brigade.
Establish a life for the living......
Peace for all generations......
Chen Kaiyu silently recited those words in his heart, and smiled mockingly in his heart.
Hmph, when have you done anything for the lower classes of the city? In addition to searching the people's fat and ointment, what kind things have you done......
This is for the city patrol during the day.
Daytime patrols are definitely a job with plenty of oil and water...... It is sought after and longed for by countless low-level sources.
At the same time, these patrol work required during the day is generally handed over to the children of some noble classes to handle and serve, which is to hone these noble children, so as to hone their character and prepare for the next generation of heirs of the family.
However, for high-risk and high-risk patrols at night, few people will be able to do it.
On the one hand, the time difference between day and night is too serious, and on the other hand, according to the statistics of the Data Department of Tianfeng City, the mortality rate of night patrols is as high as fifty percent.
Therefore, everyone is worried about whether they can belong to the lucky half, the half that rejects death.
Who doesn't know what their destiny is? But it's an undeniable fact that everyone wants to live longer......
But this kind of thing of fighting odds, few people dare to try.
The riot of the dark creatures is most likely to have taken place in the middle of the night, and many of the patrol officers during the night did not die at the hands of the dark creatures, but rather died in all sorts of strange things.
This leads to incompatibility between the two ends of the Celestial Wind Patrol.
On the one hand, there is too much demand and quantity of work during the day, which leads to a shortage of supply, and the patrol area during the day has to be expanded......
On the other hand, the number of patrols at night is getting scarcer, which is a terrifying thing.
Because if there are no patrols at night, it is very likely that the dark creatures will be allowed to burrow into the outer city area, or the dark creatures will riot and war...... Happening, without anyone knowing, will inevitably lead to an outbreak of chaos.
When the time comes, the outer city will be chaotic, on the one hand, it will lose people's hearts, and people will subconsciously think that there seems to be no difference between staying in the city and staying in the abandoned land...... Anyway, they will be attacked by dark creatures, so what's the difference......
On the other hand, it is also the most worrying thing for the aristocratic class in Tianfeng City.
That is, if there is chaos in the outer city of dark creatures or the outer city is directly attacked by dark creatures, the consequence is that the major industries and businesses that the nobles have placed in the outer city of Tianfeng will be burned down, which will greatly hit the financial interests of the nobles, which is also the most maddening thing for them......
After entering the spacious hall, Chen Kaiyu glanced around, it was clean and picturesque, and there was a faint fragrance in the air...... The top floor of the dome-like hall is delineated with paintings from the war years, and bronze pillars carved with lifelike patterns stand silently at the four corners of the main hall.
The top floor of the main hall is equipped with a giant crystal chandelier, the floor is covered with a scarlet cashmere carpet, and the white jade-like walls around it are inlaid with fire source stones that are visible and glowing, burning and emitting dazzling light.
This kind of fire source stone is much more advanced than that burning fire ore.
They burn for longer and emit more terrifying heat...... What's more, they can even come to cultivate for the Fire Originator.
This is a must-have for fire source people to increase their cultivation speed.
It is very precious, and almost a small piece of this stone can be sold for a high price of a hundred White Source Coins.
This spacious and bright hall is simply too luxurious and high-end, bright and dazzling...... Compare it to the dilapidated out-of-town area, or to the desolate and desolate deserted land...... This is simply a blood-stained paradise, a sanctuary where the gods live.
As soon as Chen Kaiyu entered, a figure in a black uniform who seemed to be a service staff saw Chen Kaiyu, and he immediately greeted him.
"Hello, what are you doing here?" He had a professional smile on his face, and he was very kind.
"I'm here to apply, Night Patrol Brigade." Chen Kaiyu replied gracefully.
"Then please follow me."
Then, Chen Kaiyu followed the waiter to the front desk of the main hall, which was the place where business was handled.
At the signal of the waiter, Chen Kaiyu sat on the soft chair, his mood was a little nervous and excited.
"I need to show your ID, the source ID, and the identity ......," the waiter said lightly.
Chen Kaiyu took out his source certificate and identity certificate, and then put them on the table at the front desk.
The attendant looked at it for a moment, then handed it to him, and then the waiter seemed to have written something on a glowing mechanical instrument.
"Very good, you have been accepted, congratulations on becoming a member of the Night Patrol Brigade of Tianfeng City." The waiter said calmly.
However, although the waiter was very calm, Chen Kaiyu's heart was not calm at all.
He tried his best to suppress his trembling voice and spoke.
"So, what do I need to be aware of?" Chen Kaiyu asked.
"Before sunset every day, you have to come here and do the work of assigning tasks."
"Remember, it's best not to be late, the consequences of being late are serious and there is a good chance that you will lose your job." The waiter explained, in a solemn tone.
"Are you just coming here?" Chen Kaiyu continued to ask.
"Yes, your team and patrol area will be assigned at that time......," the waiter responded.
"Okay, I see." Chen Kaiyu nodded.
"Here's another thing to prove your identity." The waiter handed over a bag of clothing and a quaint medallion.
Chen Kaiyu took the medal-like thing and the clothes that represented the black city patrol.
He thanked the waiter and left satisfied.
After leaving the magnificent hall, the sky was cloudy.
Chen Kaiyu opened the hunter taskbar again.
He clicked and accepted a hunter quest.
It was a mission to hunt five bloody lizardbeasts in the wilderness......
The mission bounty is the price of 100 White Coins.
That's already a pretty good price.
It is estimated that it was caused by the shortage of food after the dead period, so the reward for this mission will be a few levels higher than usual.
Chen Kaiyu returned from the inner city to the outer city...... It was close to noon at this time.
He returned to his home, and Chen Xiaoyue had already cooked the steaming porridge and the broth before.
"How? What's the adventure? ”
After looking at the irrepressible smile on the corner of Chen Kaiyu's mouth, she said bluntly.
"It's okay, I have a new identity...... Chen Kaiyu said directly.
"What identity?"
Chen Kaiyu shook the patrol's black clothes in front of Chen Xiaoyue.
"Patrols? Night-time? Yes...... It's just a little bit more dangerous. Chen Xiaoyue commented pertinently.
"Basically, it's nothing too physically demanding, unless I'm unlucky enough to encounter a dark creature attacking the city while patrolling in the dark, but this probability should be very small."
Chen Kaiyu explained.
"And you should have a lot of faith in my wilderness survival experience...... My vitality is very tenacious. ”
"Well, I believe your luck won't be that bad."
Chen Xiaoyue said.
