The headquarters of Wild Sands is located in the ruins of an abandoned city fifteen kilometers south of Ferryknife Mountain.

At the beginning, this abandoned city was plagued by many disasters. Later, it was cleaned up by the newly established Wild Sands, so it was naturally used as a stronghold by them.

The ruined city is now known as Liberty City.

Liberty City is run and managed by Wild Sands. Passing traders can resupply and seek protection here.

Of course, there is a certain amount of money to be paid for these.

At the same time, if you have enough money, you can also hire a mercenary in the sands to escort your caravan.

Tortureblade stood in the distance and looked at the ruined but vibrant city, his dark eyes shining with an inexplicable brilliance.

Wild Sand shares some of the same properties as the Torture Blade. They are extremely disgusted with the mineral syndicate. Because all the people in the wild sand are low-class breeds who escaped from the mines.

A group of children looked at the city in the distance, and the hearts that had been hanging finally landed safely.

Walking on the broken stone path, Tortureblade looked at the ruins of the houses on either side.

Liberty City was formerly a large city with a population of 10 million, and the land area was naturally huge.

Villefranche, on the other hand, was just a small town by renovating the downtown area on the site of the original city.

As soon as he walked into the ruins of the city, Tortureblade saw a group of patrolling soldiers in the distance.

This is a soldier with metal horns on his head and wearing a somewhat shabby spiritual code.

Although the equipment is not good, these people have sharp eyes and are full of energy. It doesn't look like a character to mess with.

"Brother Wang! Brother Wang! At this time, Xiao Di beckoned to the five people in the distance.

The young man with the national character face who took the lead heard it, and immediately trotted all the way over.

was originally with happy eyes, but when he saw the people around Xiaodi, they gradually dimmed.

At the beginning, there were twenty team members who went out with Xiaodi and Yuexia, but now none of them have come back.

Under the moon, she silently stepped forward and whispered, "I'm sorry. ”

The young man shook his head vigorously when he heard this, and said in a sonorous voice, "There is no need to apologize. They are all real warriors, they are all fighting for the future, for freedom! Their honor is like the sun that illuminates our path. ”

Hearing these words, Yuexia suddenly felt a surge. These people are real warriors!

The young man reached out and touched Xiaodi's head and said, "Take your little friend to take a bath, and then have a good rest." ”

Xiao Di nodded vigorously and led the seven children with excited faces into Liberty City.

After the child left, the young man's sharp eyes fell on the torture blade.

"Who is he?"

"His name is Torture Blade." Yuexia said a word, and then muttered, "It's my friend." ”

The young man looked at the expressionless bald scarred face, and his gaze gradually fell on the two metal pieces on his forehead.

"You're a widow too?"

The bereaved is their most self-titled. It means human beings who have been forgotten by the whole world.

Tortureblade nodded calmly and did not speak.

"Why do you want to take the horns off?" The young man asked.

The torture blade still said expressionlessly, "I was torn off, and I can't go back." ”

When the five of them heard this, they were moved.

From this bland tone, they all heard the horror and pain of the time.

Moon did not speak. She knew about Tortureblade being tortured by Spark, and even watched the video at the time.

It was because of that video that she became interested in Tortureblade.

The five of them were silent for a moment, and then said to Yuexia, "Let's go, Miss Yue." The head of the regiment already knew about it, and the situation was not very optimistic. ”

Follow the five of them along the dilapidated stone pavement. Tortureblade's eyes swept around, and found that there were far fewer caravans than before.

"There are a lot fewer caravans, is it due to the influence of the Star Spirit Sect?" Torture Blade asked suddenly.

The young man glanced at the torture blade and asked, "Are you familiar with Liberty City?" ”

"I'm not familiar, I've been here a few times in the past few years." Torture Blade said casually.

The young man raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why haven't I seen you?" ”

Torture Blade looked ahead and said calmly, "Come to kill, it's not business, there's no need for you to see it." ”

Zheng!

The young man instantly pulled out the long knife at his waist, stared at the torture blade and asked in a deep voice, "Are you provoking me?" ”

Torture Blade looked at him, his godless eyes gradually became sharper, the corners of his mouth gradually cracked, and he said with a distorted face, "You are good, it must feel good to cut you." ”

Zheng! Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!

Seeing the expression of the torture blade, four knives sounded in a row.

The five of them looked gloomily at the torture blade at this time, their expressions were both solemn and nervous.

Because, this person's face is not the expression that a person should have.

"Alright, alright! Brother Wang Xing, he has no malice in the torture. Yuexia hurriedly said at this time, holding the hand of the torture blade lightly with one hand, and stopping in front of the torture blade with her body at the same time.

Wang Xing saw the resolute face under the moon, slowly put back the weapon and said, "I will keep an eye on you." ”

Held by the warm hand under the moon, Torture Blade's expression slowly returned to normal.

Liberty City has no gates or walls of other cities, and is surrounded only by a pulled-up power grid.

On the road leading to Liberty City, there is a decent pure metal roadcar.

Wang Xing led the two of them into Liberty City through the small door on the side.

The first thing you see when you enter Liberty City is an empty square. At this time, there were only three or three trains on the square, lonely.

"Are the caravans decreasing again?" Tsukishita asked with concern.

Wang Xing smiled a little lonely and said with a wry smile: "What else is there to reduce?" No caravans have been coming since yesterday. ”

Looking left and right, the scene at this time is very different from when it was two years ago.

At that time, the convoys in this square were next to each other. If it weren't for the people of the wild sand to maintain order, those merchants would definitely fight.

Now the situation is difficult, but these strong people do not show any discouragement or discouragement. They are still patrolling in high spirits, as usual, to destroy any enemy who intrudes into their homeland.

Across the square, in a small villa, the six children were playing in the large pool on the first floor, surrounded by four middle-aged women in aprons looking at the children with smiles.

Ten minutes later, through a narrow path, the three of them came to a very ordinary small house.

There was a gentle knock on the door. A calm male voice came from behind the door, "Come in." ”

Wang Xing heard this, pushed open the door and walked in. The two followed, and just in time to see a middle-aged man who was as gentle as jade leaning on a vine rocking chair and reading a book.

When he saw Yuexia walk in, the middle-aged man put down his book and got up and said, "Miss Yue, it's nice to see you again." ”

Yuexia shook her head and said, "I'm really ashamed to find you to help." I didn't expect to lose so many precious soldiers in your department. ”

The middle-aged man sighed softly, reached out and touched his pale sideburns and said, "Many of our bereaved people have lost their fertility from childhood abuse. But the instinct to pass on one's wisdom and will remains. That's why those young warriors gave their lives for it. Because our generation is nearing the end of the road, the real hope is only in these children. ”

"The instinct of inheritance..."

Woo woo ...

The little guy lying on the shoulder of the Torture Blade rubbed the Torture Blade's cheek.

Tortureblade noticed this and muttered, "Why do you want to abandon us if you want your will and existence to be passed on?" ”

It's interesting to say that the blade is using us, not me.

The middle-aged man looked at the torture blade and said, "Because of the viciousness of human beings." Man is selfish, and selfishness turns man into a vested interest. Everything can be abandoned for the sake of immediate interests. Those who abandon us, those who sell us, those who enslave us. They all have vested interests. So I disdain to be in the company of them, because a narrow, short-term gaze will only lead them to destruction. ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man touched the horns of his forehead and said, "The real hope will always exist in the child." So the true wise man desires to have his own offspring. ”

"Heir..."

Yuexia was very touched when she heard this, and turned her head to look at the torture blade, with a trace of special emotion in her eyes.

After sighing, the middleman breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at the moon and said, "I didn't expect that the friend who made you feel guilty for a lifetime was actually a ghost in the wilderness." ”

"Spirits in the wilderness!?" Yuexia was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then said clearly, "Do you know the torture blade?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled lightly and said, "I have heard two wise men say about the legend of ghosts and gods. An old man told me that he would be the strongest man under the apocalypse, and that he would be hated as a ghost and god. Another wise man told me that he would become the strongest ghost under the apocalypse, and that he would be worshipped as a ghost and be revered by the people. ”

After speaking, the middle-aged man looked at the torture blade meaningfully and asked, "Which one should I believe?" ”

Torture Blade was expressionless, and said flatly, "Don't believe that." Because I will surpass the apocalypse and become a true ghost and god to deter all mankind and calamity. ”

Although Yuexia was a little incomprehensible, she knew that among the two wise men that the middle-aged man said, one of the wise men was Deng Heng.

Because when she was in Black Cloud City, she heard Deng Heng's name for the torture blade with her own ears.

"A ghost under the apocalypse."

"As Venerable Master said, the blade has become a ghost." The middle-aged man said calmly.

Tortureblade raised his eyelids and asked, "Do you know the old hunter?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Yes! He hadn't picked you up yet. I accepted his favor and thus became the wild sand I am today. ”

There was a burst of surprise in Yuexia's eyes, and she asked, "Do you know the master of the torture blade?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Well, at that time, the adult was just planning to retire. ”

Hearing this, Tsukishita remembered the description of his grandfather to the old hunter.

"Is he—really that powerful?" Tentatively asked under the moon.

The middle-aged man looked up at the ceiling as if a child was looking up at a giant.

"If there really is a god in this world, I believe it is Him."
