Chapter 20: The Waste Pickers

After seeing the license plate of the car, Wu Ming still didn't believe that he had arrived near Kyoto, he saw that Eminem was a little sleepy when he was full, so he directly stored this guy in the card ring, and quickly searched in one direction with only a candle, and soon, Wu Ming found the second abandoned car. This is a Mercedes-Benz SUV, and it was also a million-level luxury car in the past, but at this moment, half of the car was destroyed, and the weeds and dust dressed it up as inferior to even a beggar, and it was no longer as luxurious as it used to be, Wu Ming checked the license plate of this car, which was also a car in the Kyoto area.

If it is just one car, Wu Ming can also be said to be a foreign car, but if two are found, then this possibility is much smaller, and the climate here is also in line with the appearance of the north.

Continuing to explore, Wu Ming ran quickly and found an abandoned town a kilometer away, and from some broken billboards, Wu Ming determined his location.

Sure enough, it was near Kyoto.

Thinking of Kyoto, Wu Ming felt that it was really far away from Yucheng, where he lived before, one south and one north, but how could he get here?

Could it be that the hidden exit from the Genki Tower leads to Kyoto?

These Wu Ming don't know, and it's not easy to guess, originally Wu Ming planned to return to Wucheng after advancing to the fourth level of Yuanqi, but it is also more than a thousand kilometers away from Wucheng, and Wu Ming has learned about the so-called Yuanqi invasion with Lynch of the Sword and Shield Empire before, with the Yuanqi invasion, several Yuanqi shijie merge with each other, and the original geographical environment will also change dramatically, this is like a balloon that was suddenly blown up again, the original distance was more than 1,000 kilometers, and now it is estimated that the distance will increase, and I want to go back, It's really not an easy task.

And Wu Ming didn't quite believe that he failed to use the prophecy card for the first time, since he teleported himself here, there must be a specific reason. But no matter what, for the time being, Wu Ming can only stay here. The flying speed of the bone dragon is fast, but Wu Ming doesn't know the specific direction, and there is no reference, it is definitely not an easy task to return to Lion City or Wu City just like that. In addition, there may be unknown troubles along the way.

An hour later, Wu Ming saw the ruins of a city.

The buildings and broken signs on the road show that this is the most modern city in the past, with a population of tens of millions. It's just that at this moment, this is already a city controlled by monsters. Wu Ming was on the top of a building on the outermost part of the city, looking at this former flowery metropolis, he sighed in his heart, Kyoto is even bigger than Yucheng, surrounded by heavy guards, but he didn't expect it to fall like Yucheng.

Human civilization was caught off guard, and in the face of the invasion of Yuanqi Shijie, it was simply defeated, but Wu Ming also knew it. Humanity will not fall like this, now the Lion City has become quite large, and in the future, its own Wu City will be above the Lion City. This is the spark of human revival.

Kyoto is full of tall buildings, especially from the city center, and the denser the building, the more buildings there are. There are overpasses, subways, and shopping malls, but right now, those places are more dangerous. Just like now. Wu Ming could clearly feel that in the central area of Kyoto, there were several powerful fluctuations of vitality.

Wu Ming's understanding of Yuan Qi has reached an unbelievable level, and if he stands in the same position as other Yuan Qi level 4, he will definitely not be able to detect anything, but Wu Ming can, he can transform Huo Yuan, he can make all kinds of cards, and he is still a formation card master, so he is naturally much stronger than others' perception.

Among those few fluctuations of vitality, some even made Wu Ming feel a burst of heart palpitations now.

There is no doubt that when it comes to the degree of danger, Kyoto is even more terrifying than Woo Castle.

Candle felt bored, he had already stuck into the card ring to rest, Wu Ming was also happy to be quiet, he came to Kyoto, he just stopped by to see, and he believed that just like the Lion City around Yucheng, there must be a large gathering place for humans near Kyoto.

At this moment, a monster like a huge bat appeared behind Wu Ming, with membranous wings on its sturdy forelimbs, obviously with some kind of flying ability, the size of a car, with a mouth full of sharp fangs, at this moment, it slowly climbed to the top of the building from behind, silently, its body was full of fine hair, and a pair of pointed ears were swinging around.

In fact, the moment this monster climbed to the top of the building, Wu Ming noticed it.

The fourth level of Yuan Qi is no joke, monsters of this level can be easily detected and killed by Wu Ming before he is promoted, let alone now.

After reaching the fourth level of vitality, Wu Ming's control of his own vitality has reached the point of perfection, and it was not easy for him to converge his vitality in the past, but now, Wu Ming can even converge his vitality to the point of ordinary people, of course, he can also release a little bit and imitate it as a first-level awakened person.

Wu Ming had already hidden his aura and vitality before, so he looked like an ordinary person, this is also weishenme, and he will be targeted by this monster.

In the eyes of this monster, Wu Ming is a dinner, after the human race evacuated this huge city, it rarely ate the delicious meat of the human being, and even if there were, it was some unlucky ghosts that were occasionally caught, so it would never let go of its prey.

Just as the monster was about to pounce immediately, tear the prey apart with its sharp claws and teeth, and then swallow it, Wu Ming turned around.

At this moment, Wu Ming released his vitality, although it was only for a moment, but it still made the monster stop moving.

This monster's IQ is not low, so naturally it immediately realized that the person in front of it was not simple, and the vitality of that moment just now made it feel fearful.

That fear comes from the bottom of the heart, from its nature.

The human being in front of him is very dangerous, this is what the monster thinks in his heart, and this monster wants to escape at the moment, but Wu Ming can let it escape, and if he dares to fight his own idea, he will have to pay the price.

Wu Ming materialized a black crystal sword, and then threw out his hand, like a shadow, as soon as the monster turned around, it was inserted from the door of the brain by this black crystal sword, and it was directly nailed to the ground obliquely.

Kill with one hit.

This is a second-level creature, although it is already a very high-level existence in the second-level and can be compared to a third-level creature, but in Wu Ming's eyes, it can no longer pose any threat.

Wu Ming had never seen this kind of creature, and when he stepped forward to take a look, it was also a little strange, obviously because of the different geographical environments, the monsters in the north and south were very different.

Stretched out his hand and pulled out the black crystal sword, Wu Ming didn't deal with this corpse, now that he has a rich family, he really can't look down on the materials on this second-level creature.

At this time, Wu Ming's ears moved, but he heard a small sound, when he put away the big sword, he jumped a few times on the top floor of the building, and reached another building, and when he looked down, he saw two people bending over, curling up in the alley between the building and the building, and from time to time he would hide from some obstacles to avoid the monsters that were wandering not far away.

It can be seen that the target of these two people is a department store in front, and these two people cooperate tacitly, move very quickly, and quickly enter it.

Wu Ming was also quite excited when he saw someone, he wanted to find a large gathering place around Kyoto to find out the news, naturally he needed to be familiar with people here, these two people can sneak into the dangerous city, and they also have two brushes. Wu Ming had already seen that these two people had a first-level vitality and a second-level vitality, obviously they often experienced crawling and rolling in danger, and they had developed a good skill, otherwise they would not dare to sneak here.

When the two entered the department store, they used the backpack they carried with them to collect everything useful, such as a kettle, some tools, watches, and even cosmetics, and of course, if there was canned food, it was the focus of attention. Although it seems that the department store was looted once at the time of the disaster, there is still something left behind. Wu Ming fell, silently, looking at these two people.

They looked very young, in their twenties, and dressed in ordinary clothes, sewn in broken steps, which were characterized by warmth and could blend in with their surroundings for easy camouflage.

It seemed that they had found a lot of good things, and the two of them seemed very excited, and they didn't notice Wu Ming at all, let alone the few black spiders that were slowly approaching them at the top of the department store.

"Brother Xi, this harvest is good, it's enough for us to exchange for a lot of good things!" One of the two picked up a few bottles of packaged haode shampoo, and said very happily that although there were other substitutes for this kind of thing in the human gathering place, poor people like them who were struggling at the bottom could not afford it, but this kind of product used by the old human shijie had become a luxury in the gathering place, and they took it back and exchanged it for a lot of practical things, such as various cards.

"Okay, continue to search for things, take away the valuable, hide the ones that can't be taken away for the time being, wait for us to pick them up next time, and we'll leave in five minutes!" The man who was called Brother Xi was obviously very excited, and he rubbed his hands, but he also knew that this place could not be left for long, otherwise he might run into some trouble.

It's just that they don't know that trouble is coming.

Wu Ming looked at the two people and the several black spider monsters that were already close to them above their heads, and shook his head helplessly, these two should belong to the 'scavengers' in the gathering place.

What is a Waste Picker?

This is a noun that only exists in the new shijie, of course, the old shijie also has it, but in the new shijie the name is given a new meaning, that is, people who go to the ruins of the city in search of various living materials and tools in order to make a living, regardless of the danger.

Wu Ming was a scavenger in his last life, that is, he encountered a blade spider in the process of entering the city to scavenge waste, and he was killed. Wu Ming could be sure that if he didn't save these two scavengers, they would definitely die, because those black spiders were all second-level creatures, secretly attacking, and the mortality rate of the two scavengers was 100%.
