Taking a deep breath of cool air, he gently opened the door, and the cold air outside the door made Jiang Shang shiver.

The sun in the sky still hung high, but it was as pale and cold as the moon.

Even if there are remnants of yesterday, the temperature outside will not exceed freezing until the artificial solar stove is lit.

"Wake up."

Stroking the white stone soul crystal on his neck, he whispered softly, the glimmer of light brightened a little more, and by the radiation of soul energy, the warm cloak woven by the fire fox silk also began to heat up.

After two seconds, the body warmed up.

Feeling the warmth a little, Jiang Shang exhaled, the white mist dissipated in the air, but the corner of the young man's mouth had a smile of satisfaction.

Compared with the cheap fire spider carbon silk sold in the market, his own fire fox silk cloak is an out-and-out luxury, it is the essence of the super rare abandoned beast red pupil fire fox, just one piece, you can replace it with a third-floor western-style building.

It's a pity that in order to avoid financial trouble, Jiang Shang can only endure the pain and apply a layer of gray paint to the original flame-like and beautiful appearance, and because this is the few remaining remnants of his parents, he is reluctant to sell it to improve his life of three meals of synthetic food.

"Hmph, it's just rough processing of loot, not even enchantment. Really, old man, he always brags about his heroic past and doesn't leave anything good,"

"Ah, only at this time, I will envy those new humans, I really envy their innate powerful soul energy and dark vision. Really, my father is not angry, obviously there is a high chance that the descendants of the night watchman will produce new humans, and my mother is also a night singer, if I am also a new human like Lingling, life will be much better. ”

He complained in a whisper, but with a smile on the corner of his mouth, his hand tightened his collar, and carefully covered the red silk on the inner seam of the cloak, as if he was afraid of the warmth and left.

The warmth of his flesh made the low mood a little higher, and the boy quickened his pace.

Perhaps, the warmth from the bottom of his heart as if in the arms of his parents was the fundamental reason why Jiang Shang was reluctant to sell it.

As I walked, it was no longer completely dark.

Gray and black cloaks came out from both sides of the street, and the brilliance of the soul crystal made the road much clearer.

Most people can illuminate the surroundings by two or three meters, but Jiang Shang's can't even touch the dim brilliance outside the cloak, so it would be good to let him see one meter in front of him.

But that's enough.

More and more lights and shadows came out from both sides, one after another indicating the way forward, and at intervals on the mountain road, every two or three hundred meters, there was a point of light, which pointed out the way up the mountain.

Don't worry about going into the dangerous mountains, just follow the path of other fires.

Jiang Shang slowly ascended along the sloping mountain road, and the cold mountain wind blew on his face, like a knife scraping.

At first, it was pitch black, and soon he came to a place where bright spots gathered.

Unlike the silence on the road, here is full of people.

"Come and see, the meat that has just returned from the dragon clan territory, pork, mutton, and beef are all available, and they are sold cheaply."

This is a dragon trader, and if you only look at the appearance, it is an upright lizard, which is quite scary

“…… The harvest of the second special service team last night, the beast crystals, furs and claws of all kinds of abandoned beasts, were sold cheaply. "The black-robed night watchman yawns and sells last night's harvest.

It's very cheap, and it seems that I want to sell it out early and go home to rest.

"Hardware monopoly, all kinds of metal equipment and utensils are sold, passers-by come and see."

The goods are common, but the vendor who sells them is a short, stout man, like a legendary dwarf.

"Fresh fruits and vegetables, brought back from those long ears, sunny, and fresh." This is a rabbit-eared subhuman, and his ears are not short.

"Purchase all kinds of handicrafts, soul crystals, as long as you want to be above level three, I have complete testing equipment here, don't try to fool me with parallel goods." provoked those family masters, and it was a lot of trouble. ”

The stone man covered in lava and the rough voice of the seller, his surroundings are the most densely populated area of the bazaar, but unfortunately, there are many people who watch, but few people who buy and sell.

Because, born with high heat, he became the object of the surrounding vendors to keep warm.

Haiming City is also rich enough to set up soul energy lamps on the main road at will, and the light points on this avenue are not only to guide the direction of the main road, but also to be the morning market of Haiming City.

But in this bazaar, it is not just ordinary humans who do business.

These seemingly strange-looking guys are actually a kind of half-family among the three new human beings.

"Yo, isn't this the Jiang family's Ah Shang, I have fresh meat here that I just brought back from 'over there', if your little girl doesn't feed it, I'm afraid she will eat people."

The dragon man merchant uncle with an apron knew Jiang Shang, and joked about Jiang Shang's childhood sweetheart who seemed to never be fed.

Although the dragon man was covered with fangs and claws with the light of Bai Sensen, it was very scary, but in fact, it was the uncle who watched Jiang Shang grow up, expressing his friendliness.

"Uncle Liu, there is only one truth ....... smell of wine, I secretly drank early in the morning, your scales are red, this time see how you deny it, be careful I tell Sister Ake."

Half-dependents are half-humans who have dedicated themselves to the gods and clans, and through rituals, changed their own race.

They have the protection of the gods, and can freely enter and exit the territory of other gods and clans, and in this era, they are like fish in water, even if they don't plan to serve as liaison officers or anything, they can live quite rich by just going to business and reselling local specialties.

Uncle Liu in front of him, Liu Kaiyuan, was an ordinary person ten years ago, but later, he was selected by the dragon clan to worship his faith and body to the supreme dragon god Kaos, and became a half-dependent and half-dragon man.

This is just like the weak people who changed the nationality of a powerful country in the old era, which can be regarded as an alternative kind of development, and these half-dependents, who are jokingly called foreign devil compradors, are even more transcendent existence that is not subject to the discipline of the local government.

But in Jiang Shang's eyes, this Liu Kaiyuan is just a neighbor uncle who watched him grow up and was disrespectful.

In the face of Jiang Shang's "threat", Uncle Hahadaxiao of the Dragon Man rose up.

"Your sister Ake went to Dragon Island to buy goods, and she won't be able to come back in two months....... but in order to make your little traitor stop suering, I'll give you a little bribe. The pork is fresh, so you can take it home and feed it to your little pig. ”

"Uncle Xiexie." Knowing that the other party took care of him, he was grateful, nodded with a smile, and took the small bag of pork.

Unlike those orphans who have excessive self-esteem and are afraid that others will look down on them, Jiang Shang, who has been independent since he was a child, has no reason to refuse the sincere kindness of others.

In the old days, this pork was nothing, but now, it is equivalent to a luxury.

After all, only the territories of the gods and dependents with sunlight have extra resources to raise these domestic animals, which are useless except for meat.

Even the restaurants in Heming City provide meat, and the meat they provide is often abandoned outside with beast meat full of soul energy.

The human body has limited receptivity to these foods, and eating a small amount of food can improve soul energy, but if it is excessive, it is poison, and in this era, the chef is jishu work, and it must be adjusted according to the actual situation of the guests.

And Baishi like Jiang Shang can't eat a mouthful of abandoned animal meat, if he wants to taste the taste of meat, he can only find those luxury goods that come from the old times and are not "polluted".

"I owe Uncle Liu a favor again, and when I enter the Ink Research Institute in the future, I will find a way to repay it." Growing teenagers thought so.

There is no need to say more words of gratitude, each other knows each other, the other party does not expect their own reward, but their own grateful heart can not be forgotten.

smiled and nodded goodbye, intending to leave, but was stopped by Uncle Liu.

"Ah Shang, that kid from my family asked me to bring you a message. Be careful when traveling recently, the Knights of the Balance have been making a lot of trouble recently, sending the evil dragon and several leaders of the four murderers to prison, and now, those little bastards have gone crazy recently, and they have broken into it four times, it seems that they are planning to take revenge. ”

The Evil Dragon Gang and the Four Fierce Gangs are all small gangs composed of hooligans and ruffians in the dock area, and they certainly can't collect protection money from these half-dependents stall owners because of their lack of strength, so their main business is to hunt the weak and cause trouble...... And a weak person like Shiraishi is often bullied.

Obviously, when these thugs were hunting the weak, they hit the iron plate and were looking for someone to take revenge and vent their anger, and Uncle Liu was reminding himself.

"Hey, the way of the world. Well, xiexie uncle. The young man thanked Uncle Liu for his kindness, and Jiang Shang Xiangxia walked over to a light spot.

The mountain is not steep, but it is not very pleasant to climb in the dark.

But this is Jiang Shang's favorite journey, perhaps, going out half an hour early every day, just for the moment of climbing to the top of the mountain.

"It's beautiful."

Standing on the top of the mountain, looking down, there is a little fire.

The soul energy from the human soul is poured into the soul stone, and the light that radiates dispels the darkness and lights the way.

It was a "human" character, a "human" character composed of a little starlight.

Xiangshang's "Yiqiao", Xiangxia's "Yiqiao", those who come down from the top of the mountain, come along the mountain road, meet at the intersection of the herringbone and the one.

A little firelight, it's a figure wearing a hood.

People are walking, and the points of light are flowing.

And the countless bright spots, but with the mountain as the drawing board, with people as ink, along the mountain road, waved a powerful "people" word.

And one bazaar after another, but it is the bone of this herringbone.

The huge character "human" flashes on the mountain, showing shijie that human society still exists.

That is the famous scenery of Haiming City, the way of people.

“…… Is human civilization still following and improving? ”

Although there are many social problems, such as racial disputes, energy crises, invincible enemies from the outside world, etc., human beings have not perished in the last days, step by step, but have multiplied and grown in this era.

The mountain wind is like a knife, but it can't extinguish the little fire, and the white frost tarsal feet, but can't stop the slow footsteps.

The way of man.......

Perhaps, this is the scenery of this new era, reminding every viewer of the duty of this era.

"Although there are many problems in our times, human civilization still continues....... we must rely on human efforts to make life better."

The honor student subconsciously reviewed the teacher's teaching in class, shook his head, and did not deny or approve.

I can't deny it, maybe it's because I can't deny the sacrifice of my elders and sages, maybe it's because I'm also on the road and can't agree with it, or maybe it's because the road is too rugged and it's too difficult to walk.

"If you want to do so much, it's enough to follow your own path, and let future generations evaluate what is right or wrong, and you must always leave food for future generations of historians and writers."

Wrapped tightly in his cloak and retracting his gaze into the distance, the young man smiled bitterly and laughed at himself,

"Three, two, one....... arrived."

Passers-by counted down the clock towards ten o'clock.

"Bell, bell."

The bell tower at the top of the herringbone peak in Houshan rings, which also represents the beginning of a new day in Haiming City.

But it was already ten o'clock, and as the bell rang, the artificial solar stove that was the core of the city was also activated.

The mountains parted, and in the open rift, the pinnacle of soul mechanics, the artificial solar furnace, slowly rose while emitting light and fire.

With the herringbone peak at the highest point of the mountain as the core, the whole city suddenly lit up, and the silent people began to take off their thick cloaks and start a new life.

Although the brilliance is like the oldest light, dim and dim, and will be extinguished and re-ignited from time to time, the orange-red brilliance is inexplicably reassuring.

"Let's go, it's only five hours of daylight a day, but there is a lot to do, so we have to hurry."
