Ten days later, Winder and John arrived at the place where their "scavengers" lived.

It's about four days away from John's location by Winder.

will go so far, first, John is injured and rests for two more days; The second is that Winder deliberately controls the pace of progress.

By the time they arrived at the settlement, Wende was able to communicate with John verbally without the help of gestures.

In general, the progress is not bad, thanks first of all to John's language, which has a small vocabulary and a fairly simple grammar, which is not very difficult in itself.

The second is that Wende can also be opportunistic.

He uses Hanabi's [camera] ability to record the scene of communication, and while keeping the pronunciation of words and sentences intact, he can also register the corresponding meaning in time.

In this way, Wende can not only look through and learn at any time, but also occasionally paraphrase the video when he is stuck and doesn't know what to say.

When he was about to get to his residence, John was very excited, and kept emphasizing to Winder, "You can rest well when you get there!" "On the other hand, the pace is a lot lighter.

But I really waited to see the place of residence.

In addition to being disappointed, Winder also had a sense of irony.

Because the so-called "dwelling" here is nothing more than a half-section of the bridge over a valley......

The length is about 50 meters, and the width is a standard four-lane road.

Counting the circle around the valley, this place of residence is full of calculations, and Wende can only see a dozen or so "houses".

The number is not very large, but the style is very ingenious.

The sparse bricks made of wood and stone are ordinary, and the ones made of carts are also ordinary, and they can't compare to the "garbage heap" piled up by "garbage" on the side......

If it weren't for seeing someone knock in and out, Winder wouldn't have believed it was a house.

What scared him even more was that John was now taking Winder to one of the garbage heaps......

As he walked, he was a little proud, "That was originally an old ghost, but now that he's dead, it's mine!" ”

The so-called old ghost is the one of the three who threatened Winder with an assault rifle and was later killed by the sand falcon. Winder didn't have a crush on him, but John's words also made him a little speechless at the moment.

I didn't bother to respond, so I continued to look around.

The arrival of Winder and John alarmed some of the people in the settlement, but they shrank back as quickly as they appeared.

These people are behaving like this, probably because of Winder.

His size and appearance are much better than those scrawny people here, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is heroic.

Not to mention that he is still carrying a dragon slayer on his back right now...... This giant sword was one meter eight long and twenty centimeters wide, and it was more powerful than John, almost as tall as Wende.

Such a murder weapon looks terrifying enough.

In addition to this, the sand falcon is another reason.

Now Winder can figure out that the sudden lack refers to the Sand Falcon's motorcycle type, and that it and the "intelligent machine" such as the sedan are collectively referred to as "Shaved Zero".

Literally, it means "steel beast", but when it is further explained, it should be "a machine with the mind of a beast".

They and the shark that Winder met before represent the "Zero", and have always been the biggest threat to humans in this world.

So when John was rescued by Winder, the moment he first saw the falcon, he was really frightened. But after Wendebi explained that the small motorcycle was his "property", the man quickly relaxed and called Wende "Heng Hunting" instead.

The meaning is probably the ability to tame "shaving zero" and "zero" and take it for one's own use.

John himself couldn't say it clearly, because he had never met "Heng Hunt" before......

…………

There were other people in the dilapidated house that John entered, and she was a woman on the outside, and she couldn't tell how old she was, and she didn't look good.

The woman was a little surprised at first when she saw John, but when John announced that she was going to take over the old ghost's property, she became angry again.

The two of them argued, speaking quickly and with an "accent", which Winder couldn't understand at a moment's notice.

But whatever it was, the meeting was a little awkward, and he couldn't help but cough to indicate his presence.

Only then did the woman notice Winder, and John took the initiative to restrain himself after seeing Winder's expression.

He introduced Wende to the woman, emphatically, "He saved me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come back like an old ghost!" ”

The woman looked at Winde suspiciously, and John, seeing this, secretly saved himself (in fact, Wende had already noticed) half of the cake with jerky and kohlrabi...... Quietly handed to the woman.

The woman quickly saw the object clearly, and her expression changed, and she devoured it without caring about anything.

…… Although he had long realized from John's eating that the living standard of this group of people would not be too high, it was confirmed again that Wende was a little speechless and sympathetic......

The woman swallowed the cake almost three times and two mouthfuls, and her expression became much more docile, and she introduced herself as "Jenny" like Winder, and asked him if he was tired and wanted to rest.

This change left Winder a little speechless, and at the same time a little unsure of how to answer the question.

The interior of this room is not much better than the outside, there is almost no furniture like furniture, even the "bed" is made of pieces of iron and wood, and it is covered with absolutely untanned leather.

There was a strange smell in the whole room, and there was not even a suitable place to foothold.

If it weren't for the habitual etiquette, Winder would never have walked into this room!

He could only make a haha and perfunctory.

The woman wanted to say something more, but John interrupted first, "The wind and sand are so strong outside, shouldn't you get some water first?" ”

The woman suddenly realized, and then picked up an iron bucket in a corner of the house, rusty on the outside, and clean on the inside, if the dust sediment did not count.

She carefully poured what little water she had left into another container and walked out the door. Seeing this, John said to Winder: "That place is a little far away, I'll go with me, lest she spill the water!" ”

Winder didn't say anything, and John quickly caught up with Jenny in front.

After about twenty minutes, he turned back, and looking at the expressions of the two, it was obvious that he had taken this opportunity to communicate again. I don't know exactly what John said, but when he came back, he made intimate gestures, such as taking the opportunity to stop Jenny's waist, and he didn't reject it......

Wende was speechless and a little admired at the same time, shook his head and ignored it, and when he looked at the water in the bucket, he found that it was fine except for a little turbidity, and there was no peculiar smell. I put a little more on my hand, secretly analyzed and analyzed it, and after confirming that it was basically harmless, I nodded, and threw a piece of alum into it.

Under the action of alum, the floating matter in the water quickly settled.

This phenomenon was quite common, but the clarification of the water confirmed that John and Jenny's eyes widened in disbelief, and Jenny also let out a low cry, and immediately asked John to stop it.

Winder poured some water and came out with a wet towel and wiped it briefly.

After rescuing John, he stopped using his power in order to hide his eyes. Small urgent needs can be made secretly, but it is impossible to take a bath as comfortably as before......

So in the past ten days, Wende's body has suffered from some peculiar smell and itching, and the terrible thing is ...... He actually got used to this situation, and he didn't feel uncomfortable anymore!

This bucket of water is just a drop in the bucket, and Wende is too lazy to toss it again.

There was also a reason why he was a little disappointed by the gathering place, and Winder could feel that most of the people here were like John...... It is difficult for a person who hunts and scavengers for a living to get any useful information from it, let alone what he came to this world for: high-tech technology!

He didn't think about staying for a long time, and if it wasn't for the fact that it was getting late today, he would even want to leave immediately.

Winder reluctantly stayed here for the night, resolutely refused Jenny and John's invitations, and found a flat ground outside to camp.

The next day, when Wende saw that John was about to say goodbye and didn't want him to "see a doctor", it was accidentally leaked by Jenny.

As a result, a few people dared to come to the door.
