Chapter 50: Information
"I don't want your life, you just need to answer me a few questions." Xiang En looked down at Walter condescendingly, the other party had no intention of standing up, and he didn't bother to remind.
He now wants to know more about how much has happened in the outside world in the past few months?
Wow nodded, "As long as I know it, I will definitely not keep it!" β
"Hmm......" Xiang En pondered for a while, and first asked, "How did you survive?" β
I didn't expect Xiang En to ask such a question, Walter was stunned, but he still showed a scared expression, and talked about his experience in the past few months.
"Me...... I took on a hunting mission a few months ago, but when I returned to Greystone City with my two temporary companions with their prey, we ran into a group of bitches who were unreasonable and killed people when they saw them! We fled with several other teams, and only six people escaped.
Then we found out that many towns were slaughtered, and from those who escaped, we know that the nobles smoked and smoked madness, and made people go around slashing and killing......"
As if recalling the scene of that day, Walter was both sad and helpless, and continued: "More and more people are fleeing from the town, and then someone will say something...... The end is coming, everyone is going to die, God will punish the world for what kind of mess, listen to me annoyed! At that time, there was an old god stick jumping in front of me, and I gave it ......"
"Ahem!"
Xiang En coughed lightly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Walter immediately understood, restrained the urge to add ingredients, and continued, "Uh, yes! More and more people escaped, and finally we got together, but we didn't expect our team to be targeted. In the end, we had a fight with those noble lackeys, and we lost so much that we lost our pants, and we all died, and we all ran away, and everyone hid in the forest, not daring to show their heads at all.
Then the weather became stranger, and more and more people were afraid of these visions, and the lackeys of the nobility ran away. The people who survived came together, some believed in the bullshit apocalypse, and some wanted to leave the province of Deair. β
"What about you? Believed, or not? Xiang En asked.
"I definitely don't believe it, it's enough for God to shout just two words, is it possible that there are really people who expect God to give money to buy wine?"
Walter let out a few hoarse sneers, feeling that it was not good, and then retracted his smile and said: "I don't know how many groups those people are divided into, anyway, they are running around noisily, so I will follow a team to Fiorlet." β
At this, Walter paused, the fear in his eyes seemed to spread, and suddenly he began to cry again, and his mental state was the same as his current face, not much better.
"It's raining, black rain. Those who didn't survive turned into monsters, all of them were monsters, ah! β
Xiang En turned to the side of the sleigh, pinched out another loaf of bread, and returned and handed it to Walter, who was not in good spirits.
Seeing the bread, Walter's crying suddenly stopped, and he devoured it, and his bad mood disappeared all of a sudden, "That's probably it, and I stayed here until I went outside to look for food just now, and when I came back, I saw the traces you left, and then I wanted to see the situation." β
"You're the only one here?" Xiang En frowned and questioned, "Then why didn't I see your footprints?" β
"I'm walking from the west."
Walter seemed to be worried that Xiang En would not believe him, and wanted to invite him to his residence, but Xiang En refused.
In the next few questions, Xiang En mostly asks about the distribution of refugees and ghouls who have fled.
"Ghoul? What a good name, and I admire the talent of adults! β
With the delicious bread, Walter's attitude became more and more humble, "Those ghouls disappeared in the coldest days of winter, I saw one before, it hid in a crack in the rock, I didn't dare to approach, but it should not be dead." β
"As for those who are still alive......" Walter shook his head, "I don't know, either they're dead or they're still hiding." If I hadn't found the food I had hidden, I wouldn't have survived now. β
After thoroughly understanding what Walter knew, Xiang En had a general understanding of the current situation.
Black rain may be the source of infection, but the intensity of the infection is real.
If you ask in detail, those who didn't survive were basically injured people and people with poor physique, and most of the people whose magic content reached the bronze level were fine.
Those who survived had spread throughout the province of De'er and other provinces, and were likely to freeze to death and starve to death.
According to Walter, this winter was colder than every winter he had ever experienced, many animals were frozen to death, and after eating the stored food, he survived by picking up corpses.
After asking the question, Xiang En gave Walter two more pieces of bread and prepared to drive him away.
"You can go."
Walter, who had two balls of bread stuffed in his hand, did not eat it immediately, but looked up at Xiang En with earnestness, and begged, "My lord, don't drive me away!" You must be in need of a helper! I can pull something for you, just give me a little more to eat!" β
Just kidding, if he leaves now, it will be equivalent to giving up a chance to be full, and the difference between this is still very clear to him.
Moreover, in the current situation, the probability of survival together is significantly higher.
Walter looked at the two people standing in front of him, envious.
Although the two of them wore coarse clothes made of animal skins and looked like savages, compared to themselves in cotton clothes and leather clothes, Xiang En and Andrea's mental outlook did not look like they had experienced any hardships at all.
It can't be said that the face is full of red light, but at least it is not worrying about eating and drinking.
Now with the two of them, even if he does hard work, it is better than him returning to that state of being hungry and full, and the strength of the two is obviously not weak, at least they should be silver-level professionals, hug their thighs when they have something, and they are not so tired!
Andrea is not the principal, she didn't speak the whole time, and in front of strangers, she returned to her former somewhat autistic appearance.
It's not so much autism, but rather not knowing what to say, how to express yourself in words, and simply not saying anything.
"Now, you can go."
"I ......"
In the face of Walter's plea, Xiang En firmly refused, pointed to the door, and signaled that he could slip away.
Seeing that Xiang En's attitude was very firm, Walter had no choice but to stand up tremblingly, open the door, and walk out with his head down.
In the end, only Xiang En and Andrea were left in the room, and after watching Walter disappear around the corner, Xiang En drew another trap totem and inserted it in the door.
The Forbidden Vine was not used, this was just a temporary resting place, and there was no need to waste a Forbidden Vine Totem.
"Why don't you take him with you?" After planting the totem, Andrea asked Xiang En, who closed the door, her doubts, "You can ask him to help with the sled, so that it can also help you." β
"That person thinks too much, and it's hard for adventurers to trust each other, especially without the constraints of rules."
Xiang En shook his head, not believing in Walter's character at all.
"Winter is almost over, and when the time comes to change to a cart, we can catch an animal to help pull it, and there is no need to use people."
During the questioning just now, he had been observing Walter, and after recovering his strength, the other party's mind had been very active.
Walter's performance is a standard low-level mercenary, belonging to the wallgrass type, somewhat clever, but easy to tell.
believes that a person who can casually say that he betrays his life can have integrity, then Xiang En is too naΓ―ve, afraid that he will be stabbed in the back one day off.
