Chapter 16 The life of the poor is hard
Ryuhei was ushered to a table by the bartender.
"This is a newcomer to the company - come, I'll give you a bottle of wine. ”
The bartender smiled and patted Liu Ping on the shoulder, and placed a bottle of wine on the table.
With all that done, the bartender turned around and went back to the back of the bar.
Liu Ping looked at the people at the table.
In the center is a middle-aged man with a mustache.
He wears a gray hat with a long, flat brim, like a hat, but slightly smaller than it.
The lighting in the bar was not very good, and the other party was wearing such a hat, so Liu Ping could only see the other party's chin and beard all the time.
Several night watchmen around the wine table were also looking at Liu Ping.
Liu Ping thought about it, stepped forward and opened the wine, and filled it for everyone.
Several people exchanged glances.
"We're going to give the bartender face," said the bearded middle-aged man, "but I'll say that the scavengers who have come back from the world of the dead—if you're just lucky, you're not going to be a good nightwatchman." ”
"I've mastered the basic powers of the Night's Watch. Liu Ping said.
At this time, he had already looked around the people at the table, retracted his gaze, and fell on the middle-aged man-
It seems that this is the leader of the Night's Watch.
"Those are just basic job skills," the middle-aged man took a sip of his wine glass, shook his head, and said, "For the sake of this glass of wine, I will give you a piece of advice-"
"If you want to survive the night, don't expect basic job skills, it's all about what you can do. ”
That's true.
In fact, the skills of the three night watchmen did not make Liu Ping pay much attention, in comparison, he paid more attention to the basic common sense of the world that was instilled in incident.
Basic common sense can help him fit into this era.
That's what really matters.
Liu Ping thought about it and said seriously: "My survivability is not bad. ”
Five people –
The tall, lanky man had two revolvers pinned to his waist.
Although the other two people did not carry weapons, they had a heavy evil aura on their bodies, and Liu Ping only needed a slight glance to determine that they were veterans who often killed people.
Boss –
The middle-aged man always unconsciously rubbed the ruby ring on his finger.
In Ryuping's mind, the slight fluctuations emitted by the ring were somewhat similar to the magic mount statue, and at the same time, he could sense a slight hint of fire.
The power of fire, for the most part, is used to destroy.
The last man shrank in the shadow of the leader, barely visible.
"What's a good idea?" the middle-aged man asked.
Liu Ping groaned slightly.
Although we don't know much about this world, there must be something in common when it comes to fighting.
The team composed of these people actually has something to add.
"—My abilities are biased towards battlefield first aid. Liu Ping said.
The five of them looked at him in unison.
The leader put down his glass and asked in a slow voice, "Oh, are you a healer?"
"Sort of. Liu Ping said.
The man in the leader's shadow suddenly drew a dagger and slashed it on the back of his hand.
Blood flowed out.
The man didn't speak, he didn't have any expression, he just put his hand in front of Liu Ping.
Liu Ping also did not speak, and waved his hand to beckon a stream of clear water, which was attached to the back of the man's hand.
The wound healed.
"It's kind of like the power of the cultivation side, but I've never seen it—what kind of spell are you?" the man asked.
"Skin conditioning. Liu Ping said.
Everyone was stunned.
Looking at the man's hand again, not only the wound healed, but the skin also became smooth and delicate, and even much whiter.
As a true disciple of the hexagram saint, Liu Ping once knew everything, was all-encompassing, and even surpassed his master, and created countless unique techniques by himself.
- In order to earn spirit stones, open the sequence.
This is his unique secret technique, and if he doesn't use it or recite a spell, others can't see the clue at all.
Liu Ping never accepted apprentices, so naturally he did not pass on these techniques and let them spread in the world.
In the current situation, it is just right to take it out and use it, and it will not expose any roots.
The man looked at the back of his white hand and muttered, "Actually, as long as you can stop the bleeding......"
Liu Ping spread his hands and said: "The effect of this ability is like this, once it is used, it will not be under my control." ”
Everyone was silent.
The tall, lanky man with two revolvers at his waist took out a new cup, poured a glass of wine, and pushed it in front of Liu Ping.
"Thank you," Liu Ping took the cup and raised his glass to the leader, "Boss, my name is Liu Ping." ”
The leader seemed to laugh and whispered, "I didn't expect a clever ghost to come." ”
He took a sip from his glass.
Liu Ping found that the atmosphere here was gradually different, and began to become a little harmonious.
The tall and thin man patted Liu Ping on the shoulder and asked, "Liu Ping?"
"Yes. ”
"I'm old K, and I'm an exorcist by profession. ”
Old K said, turned his head to the leader and said:
"Boss, although he is only a teenager, he should be fine with us today. ”
"It's true that you can take him today, tomorrow is the end of the month, let him rest. The leader said.
- Tomorrow.
Several people looked thoughtful in unison.
"That's right, we've had no healer for a long time, and there's been no healer in town for a long time, so he'll have to rest tomorrow. The man raised his voice.
"Exactly. Another agreed.
Liu Ping couldn't help but ask, "Why do I have to rest tomorrow?"
Several people looked at him together.
"Tomorrow is the last day of the month, the end of the month is the most dangerous day of the month, you are only a teenager, you just came to Darkfog Town today, if you encounter any danger, won't you lose it in vain? Do you think we can afford to lose a healer?" said the leader.
"I see, I follow the arrangement. Liu Ping said.
At this time, a bell rang outside.
When the night watchmen heard this, they got up.
"As soon as the bell rings, night is approaching, and we go and prepare. One person said towards Liu Ping.
Liu Ping followed a few people out of the bar and down the long street towards the edge of the town.
The leader said: "Liu Ping followed Lao K and Qi Lu, and the arrangements of the others remained the same, and now call up those lazy people who are still sleeping and work." ”
"Yes!" said in unison.
As the crowd dispersed, steel walls several meters thick were rising from the ground.
Around the town, a steel wall is forming.
Liu Ping noticed that the outer walls of the city wall were imprinted with some strange patterns, revealing a rough and barbaric meaning.
"This is the totem of the wilderness—it is a relatively cheap breath isolation method, used in large buildings, and can hide the breath of living creatures to a certain extent. Old K patted the city wall.
He jumped up the city wall with a slight leap and turned back to beckon to Liu Ping.
Liu Ping jumped up after him.
"Alright, the three of us will defend this section of the wall. Another night watchman said.
This night watchman is what the leader calls Qi Lu.
He was sturdy, wearing a rough and heavy iron armor, carrying a battle axe more than three meters long, and his expression was simple.
With a tomahawk of this length, Rao is Liu Ping has experienced countless times, and he can't help but take a few more looks.
The three of them stood on the city wall and waited quietly.
By this time, the steel walls had gradually risen to a height of tens of meters, and they could see far into the wilderness from the walls.
The wilderness is like a desert, and there is no life.
The dusk of the setting sun hangs on the horizon, reflecting the earth in a golden shade.
It's getting dark.
Dangdang!
A bell rang again.
"The second time the bell rings, there are about five minutes to spare, to go to the toilet or eat, to solve personal problems. "Old K.
"I'm ready. Liu Ping said.
"Let's hope there won't be any horrible creatures passing by us tonight. Qi Lu sighed.
Everyone was silent.
Old K stood against the wall, took out a small bottle, uncorked it and took two sips.
Liu Ping looked at the horizon attentively, as if he was stuck in a memory of the past.
Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Qi Lu casually put the battle axe on the ground, felt out a whetstone, and slowly sharpened the blade of the axe.
The sun is setting.
Without any delay, the sky turned into pitch black night in an instant.
"It's getting dark too fast. Liu Ping said with emotion.
"Of course, we are now in the world of death. Qi Lu said in a muffled voice.
Liu Ping was about to answer, when lines of small words suddenly appeared in the void:
"Attention!"
"Space has changed, and the world of death has coincided with the current world. ”
"An extremely rare law is dominating both worlds. ”
"Everything is affected by the law of the world: 'the spread of death'. ”
"Description: The entire living world is shrouded in the world of death, and you had better move within the town, otherwise it is very likely that you will be swept into the world of death by the 'spread of death' and will not be able to return. ”
As soon as Liu Ping finished reading it, Lao K's admonition sounded in his ears:
"Remember, don't leave town, or you probably won't be able to come back after dawn. ”
Liu Ping took a few steps back and said, "Got it, I'm hiding behind you." ”
Old K and Qi Lu nodded slightly.
As a newcomer and a therapeutic profession, it would be extremely stupid for Liu Ping to rush to the front.
The three of them stood guard on the city wall, quietly waiting for the long night to pass.
In the wilderness.
Everything withered, and there was no movement.
In the beginning, nothing really happened.
Liu usually looked at Lao K and Qi Lu from time to time.
I saw that the two of them had serious faces and kept vigilant at all times.
Time passes.
An hour passed.
Liu Pingzheng felt bored, and a throbbing suddenly appeared in his heart.
At the same time, Qi Lu strode to the city wall, blocked the battle axe in front of him, and made a defensive gesture.
"See?" he said, lowering his voice.
"See. Old K also whispered.
Old K pulled out a revolver from his holster and pointed it into the depths of darkness.
Liu Ping looked in the direction of the gun.
A few hundred meters away from the city wall, a woman appeared on the ground.
The woman couldn't see her face clearly, and she was wearing a long gray-white dress, and she staggered forward in the wilderness.
She's heading in a direction that runs parallel to the town, and if there are no accidents, she'll pass by the town.
The night is even more intense.
In such darkness, it is almost impossible to see anything tens of meters away.
Thanks to the Night's Watchman's professional talent "Dark Insight", the trio monitored the woman's movements throughout the process.
Time passes slowly.
Seventeen or eighteen minutes later, the woman walked out of the sight of the three and disappeared.
Liu Ping just breathed a sigh of relief, but saw Lao K and Qi Lu standing still, one maintaining an offensive posture and the other maintaining a defensive posture, as if the woman had never left.
A few more minutes passed.
The woman suddenly reappeared in the field of vision of the three of them.
This time, her direction of walking changed slightly, moving a little closer to Darkfog Town.
Dozens of minutes later.
The woman stepped out of the three's field of vision and vanished.
Time passes slowly.
The woman did not reappear.
It wasn't until two quarters of an hour later that Old K and Qi Lu relaxed slightly.
"What was that woman doing just now?" asked Liu Ping.
"I don't know. "Old K.
"Is she human?" asked Liu Ping again.
"I don't know. Qi Lu said.
Lao K and Qi Lu glanced at each other, both a little helpless.
- Because I don't know, I don't dare to take it lightly.
Qi Lu said in a speculative tone: "It may be a monster of the dead world—there are too many monsters, and we can't recognize them, and of course, it may just be an ordinary dead person, no one knows." ”
Old K said: "The reason why it came twice is probably because our Dark Mist Town suddenly appeared in the world of death, which attracted its attention, so it repeated it again." ”
The next moment.
The three of them looked at the dark depths outside the city walls.
I saw a figure appear again in the wilderness hundreds of meters away.
That woman!
Dressed in a long gray dress, she stood alone in the dark wilderness, looking at Darkfog with a blank face.
The woman looked at it for a while, and her face gradually showed puzzlement.
"Yes...... What is it...... Strange ......"
She muttered, stepping along.
- She's coming in the direction of Darkfog Town!
One-step.
Another step.
The woman staggered, but eventually got closer and closer to the section of the wall where the three of them were.
The expression on the woman's face gradually changed.
She's starting to look a little brighter.
On the city wall, Lao K drew his revolver, and Qi Lu slowly raised his battle axe.
"Liu Ping. Old K called in a low voice.
"I'm here. Liu Ping said.
"Hide. ”
As soon as the words fell, the woman had already walked to the city wall.
The woman slowly raised her head and looked over the city wall.
"Whoever you are, get out of here now, or we'll attack you. Old K said loudly.
The woman listened quietly.
She stood for a few breaths, and a strange glow suddenly burst from her face.
"Yes...... Voice, the voice of a living man......"
The woman's eyes gradually turned into vertical pupils, and her entire body rose into the air, and the earth collapsed under her feet, revealing her true behemoth body.
