The Blood and Fire Purgatory is a true portrayal of the Hundred Years' War on the Sealand Continent. At that time, the end of the world suddenly came, volcanic earthquakes and alien viruses struck, and the earth's crustal plates were rising and falling and shifting. The Sealand continent was the new continent that was formed at that time.

Different continents have different meteorological and geographical environments, and the Sealand continent is sunny, crops can grow, and coal and steel resources are abundant, which is suitable for human survival. The sky above the black wilderness is covered with all kinds of dust and fog, and there is no sunlight all year round, so it is called the black wilderness.

However, neither the Sealand Continent nor the Black Wilderness are human beings. The alien virus caused the mutation of the planet's species: there were virus-infected corpses among humans, similar to the zombies in the biochemical movies of the old era; Animals have also mutated, becoming stronger and more ferocious, and even giving rise to intelligent races. The most terrifying of them are werewolves, blood clans, and cannibals......

These terrifying creatures are the natural enemies of humans, who are their favorite delicacy...... The Hundred Years' War broke out between the two sides. The human beings of the Sealand Continent, who had lost the technology of the old era, began to use the resources of the continent to develop the coal and iron industry, the steam machinery began to gush, the strong of the human race began to evolve, and the source power energy gun and a large number of super strong people emerged in that era, thus laying the pattern of the current Sealand Continent.

After the Hundred Years' War, humanity has only achieved superficial victories, and the dark race is still active all over the planet. Wherever there is a dark race, it is a danger zone.

Even the Sealand Continent, which is dominated by humans, secretly hides strange beasts and dark races that do not know geometry. This also stimulated the cultivation wind among human beings from the side, but all children who had resources and some talents were arranged to learn the source force meditation technique and the source force combat technique from an early age.

Therefore, there are many source power colleges in the Sealand Continent, and the Iron and Steel College where Chenxi is located is one of the peaks.

As for the Black Iron Age, it is a term to describe the current Sealand Continent. Black refers to coal, and iron is steel.

Sealand is an independent continent that was formed after the era of mass extinction. There are abundant coal and iron resources, and the coal industry and steel industry are particularly developed, and the industries with coal as energy and steel as resources are all over the Sealand continent. Such as coal-fired power generation, coal-powered heating, steel, construction, steel, and military ......

Of course, this inevitably causes serious pollution to the environment, and the most industrially developed places are already gray skies, where a large amount of dust is thrown, spreading to the entire continent through the convection of the air.

Rapid economic development has come at the cost of environmental degradation, and the beautiful skies with bright sunshine are no longer blue, and the vast cities are gradually losing sight of the light of day, which is similar to the industrial revolution of the old era.

But no one cares about any of that. Today's Sealand continent is no better than the society of the old era, the greatest wish of people after the end of the world is to live, few people will call for environmental problems, everyone is concerned about how to become stronger, in order to fight against the increasingly dangerous beasts, corpses, and immortals on the planet...... and highly dangerous intelligent races such as cannibals, werewolves, and bloods.

The apocalypse has given humanity an opportunity to evolve and become stronger, and it has also brought indescribable mutations to the planet, with countless dangers breeding in the shadows and becoming more and more threatening.

Therefore, the development of the Sealand continent revolves around the military industry, and the focus of human learning is also the knowledge of combat effectiveness; The military has become the most desirable place for young people, and only ordinary people who cannot cultivate will enter factories or choose to engage in other social professions.

Compared with ordinary people, the career prospects and life paths that can be chosen by powerful source warriors are much broader. You can enter the army to accumulate military merits and promotions, you can enter the family and nobles, you can become a free hunter and mercenary, or you can choose a suitable academy to become an instructor like Skov......

Anyway, whether it is the old era or the black iron era, one thing remains the same: powerful people will be very open and popular wherever they are.

It's the law!

After answering the test questions, Chenxi checked it again, and met the surprised eyes of the invigilator, and was the first to hand in the papers and walk out of the examination room. For Dawn, who has a strong memory, these tests of theoretical knowledge are actually very simple. As long as there are no accidents, Dawn is confident that it will win the first place in this final test.

"I'll be number one!" Standing under the exterior wall of the cherry blossom house, Dawn looked at the swaying sun, smiled slightly, and walked into the alloy gate.

Although many places are highly polluted, the quality of the environment varies from region to region, just like in the old days. The environmental quality of the area where the Iron and Steel Institute is located is first-class.

There is a special kind of greenery planted in the college, which can effectively remove air pollutants. This is the role of the green belts in the college. Breathing life in such an atmosphere is still more refreshing than being in the black wilderness.

……

After the overall ranking of the cultural class test, Dawn won the first place, followed by Richard in second place......

But in the end, only Dawn was rewarded. According to Lisa, who presented the award, only the first place is the first place, and the second place is no longer the first place. This may seem a bit incomprehensible, but it conveys a certain purpose of the Iron and Steel Academy: they only recognize the first!

In the midst of the envy of many of the students and the jealousy of Richard, Dawn was rewarded with a thick tome, with a dark gold cover, the corners wrapped in bronze patterns, and the yellowed pages inside were written in fancy round font with four glittering words: Gun and Star!

It's an encyclopedia of firearms, with beautiful illustrations about the various famous guns that have popped up on the planet for hundreds of years.

Such books are priceless, and the information about many of the world's famous guns is an extremely precious secret, and many people dream of valuable knowledge that cannot be obtained.

But now, the book is in the hands of Dawn.

"Please be kind to this book, and believe that knowledge is priceless." When Lisa handed the book to Dawn, she said something meaningful.

"I believe it!" Dawn just glanced at the illustrations in the book, then replied with a smile, bowing deeply to Lisa with heartfelt gratitude.

Lisa was a little surprised by Dawn's reaction, after all, the hidden value of the information in the book is not so easy to see, and only a true elite warrior understands the doorway. But looking at Chenxi's performance, it seems that he really understands the value of this book?

In this way, her evaluation of Dawn in her heart is still a little low. "This teenager will always be underestimated, but he always has impressive strength." Lisa couldn't help but think.

But Lisa probably wouldn't have understood that what Dawn really cared about was not the text messages, but the illustrations in the book. Those are images of real guns similar to photocopied scans, and they are also targets that Dawn can use to steal in 2D.

With "Guns and Stars" in hand, when the source energy of Dawn is enough, you can steal these famous guns from the two-dimensional world, and at that time, it is the time when the value of the book is infinitely magnified.

……

Holding the exquisite metal box containing the book, Dawn walked briskly towards the cherry blossom house, "Guns and Stars" was an unexpected surprise, which made him feel very good.

Walking around a corner, about to step into a no-man's road, Dawn suddenly frowned and stopped.

At the intersection ahead, Richard was standing, looking at the morning light with a cold gaze.

"Make an offer, huh?" Richard pointed to the metal box in Dawn's arms, "I want this book!" ”

Dawn frowned, he didn't expect Richard to pay so much attention to this book. However, the significance of this book to Dawn is not ordinary, and he has no intention of selling it.

Seeing that Chenxi frowned and was silent, Richard suddenly became impatient and said, "Boy, don't toast and don't eat and drink." Obediently let this book out, I won't bother you! ”

"Not for sale!" Richard's words made Dawn more determined!

Richard was stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't expect Dawn to refuse. After a moment of silence, Richard suddenly smiled and said, "This is my negligence." Please don't see the recklessness. But if you can cut love, you can say whatever you want, even if you make an offer. ”

From a threatening smile to a warm smile, Richard transitioned very naturally, but it made Dawn feel more dangerous. But Chenxi, who had already made up her mind, shook her head, if you don't sell it, you won't sell it, it's not a negotiable issue.

"Whew, that's no way!" Richard let out a sigh of relief, "Tomorrow it's going to be a combat test." Swords and guns are eyeless, and someone will lose their lives if they are not careful. I think that no matter how good something is, it can't be used if it becomes a dead person. You tell me? ”

Chenxi was silent for a while, and said, "Can I understand your words as a threat?" ”

"Haha, of course not. It's just kind advice from classmates. After saying that, Richard smiled and gave way to the intersection and put on a gesture of please, "Please think about it carefully." I still say the same thing, as long as you are willing to give it, the price is negotiable.

I'll ask again when we meet again tomorrow morning. When the time comes, I'd like to hear a different answer. I won't say more, you're a smart person, you know what to do, right? ”

……

After returning to the Sakura Cottage, Dawn put the metal box away and began to think about Richard's performance today. For some reason, Richard seems to have his ambition for "Guns and Stars". This makes Dawn a little strange, he values this book because of the illustrations in the book, and what is Richard for?

Maybe there is some kind of secret hidden in this book that is important to Richard? However, Dawn took a cursory look, but it was difficult to find it for a while. But in any case, the book belongs to him, and it is impossible to give it to Richard in the future.

In this case, tomorrow's actual combat fight, you have to make some preparations in advance. Although Richard is usually low-key, in Dawn's intuition, Richard is a much more dangerous existence than Ernst.

Tomorrow's actual combat may add a lot of variables because of the reward of this book.

"No matter what your origins are, I'm not afraid of you!" Dawn smiled, hid the three drawings close to her, and lay down in the dark.

Lying on the bed, Chenxi silently recited the primary source force meditation technique as she did every time she fell asleep, and her consciousness entered a world full of starlight......
