Thirty-sixth Passerby, Compass, Book

............

Sure enough, as I thought, the orange that was not enough energy to open the dream source realm did not start again at night.

Today, according to the original plan, I plan to go to the farm to see the monitoring records.

The farm is a few hundred meters away, so I can see it from home, but the visibility in the wasteland is not particularly good, and many times, there is a thin mist in the air. Probably when the sun is over, the fog clears and the visibility will be higher. So under normal circumstances, I can only capture the shapes of distant objects and buildings, but I can't see them clearly.

With a black cat that didn't seem to be very willing to go out, I came to the farm. Since I didn't repair a messy farm too much last time, it's still in a dilapidated state. However, there doesn't seem to be any further disruption. Will you get valuable images? I'm a little skeptical.

The camera in the corner was still working, so I took it off and took it home and stuffed it into the TV for it to play.

The TV wasn't very reluctant, it hadn't been on for a long time - I wondered how many times I hadn't seen you work in a year, so why reluctantly? Look at people's clocks, collectors, or whatever, how dedicated they are.

The TV then begged for two batteries and played the contents inside.

I held the remote control and tossed back and forth the progress of the video.

For several days and nights, the picture has not changed in particular, and the black shadows taken in the distance in the picture several times are not clear because of the mist. It could be a sheep passing by, or it could be because of some optical effect that casts its body on the fog and looks particularly cold.

Until yesterday, it seemed that a few passers-by were resting on my farm, and they existed in the surveillance footage for a while. I stopped fast-forward and played the segment at normal speed.

The monitor has its own radio function - although it is a little distorted, it is still very easy to use.

I don't know if when watching this surveillance video, will there be functions such as removing noise floor and enhancing clarity by using the orange viewing angle...... But black blocks are still a "non-renewable resource" at the moment, and I'd better not waste them on this kind of thing.

There were two passers-by — maybe more, but two of them appeared in the camera, a man and a woman.

Living alone in the wasteland, I met many passers-by. Most of them were passing by, saw my farm and house, said nothing, did nothing, and continued on their way. A few would knock on my door to rest, or rest in the little shed on the farm. Some of them also trade in supplies like water or batteries – all of which are necessary consumables. Occasionally, there are those who pick up their own farm items, and most of them leave what they consider equivalent in exchange for something - I have a lot of them in my utility room.

They seem to have discovered the farm and then "discovered" my hut. But he didn't want to visit me, so he found a place to sit on my farm, chatted for a while, and left.

Surveillance shows that they are presumably coming from the direction of the Holy City - probably for refuge? It's not like, in terms of time, from the day of the Holy City disaster, even if they were to fly, they would not be able to fly to me.

The place where they were sitting was so far away from the surveillance that the radio couldn't hear their words clearly. However, only a few words can be heard sporadically - "holy city", "no city", "rift", "star......

I won't say much about the Holy City, but the Wucheng is probably the name of the place I heard when I talked to the pilgrim team before. Rift Valley and Star ...... To be honest, I'm not sure if I'm hearing these two words, or maybe other words that sound similar, like cracked bones or planets.

Then they pulled out a round flat object the size of a palm — oh, it seemed like a compass. I leaned over to the TV screen and looked at it carefully to determine what it was. A passer-by once gave me this thing to thank me for the fresh water I had provided - saying that it was able to determine the direction and that with it it it would not get lost.

Sounds like it can replace the role of a clock and show the way?

Since I hardly go out, I keep leaving it in the utility room. Since it can't be burned as fuel, the compass has survived in my "dangerous" utility room to this day.

The two men in the video stood up, re-arranged their robes, and walked in the opposite direction from the Holy City. While walking and chatting, when passing by the corner where the camera surveillance was located, the two did not notice it at all.

Because the radio distance is closer, I can hear two sentences clearly.

"It's only two days away from the land where the new star shines—three days at most. If we hurry up, we might be able to see the entrance to the rift tomorrow. You see, there are wild wolves here, and it should not be far from the rift. ”

"You can save it, you will be tired after walking two steps, and I will thank the Holy Spirit when I can come in three days."

"But we don't have a copy of the Kittab al-Ajif, and we're not in a hurry......"

"Look at what you're talking about, what do you have?"

“......”

The voices of the two weakened, as if they were walking away.

I sat back, rubbing my chin and thinking.

Wild wolf ......?

Listening to these two men, they think that my farm has been ravaged by wild wolves.

To be honest, I've never seen wild wolves, most of them are domesticated wolves, very docile and peaceful. Some passers-by will carry them, just like I did with a black cat. However, wild wolves can carry weights and carry some gifts, but my black cat cannot.

I really didn't consider the possibility of wolves before, after all, in my cognition, wolves generally have owners and will not harm my farm. I didn't expect there to be a wild wolf...... It seems that we will have to think about renovating the fence in the future.

Why don't you just build an iron fence?

I looked at the sky and it seemed to be early. So I went to get some iron pieces and other materials, and tried to make an iron fence. I wasn't very satisfied with the finished product, and I felt that I couldn't stop the invasion of the wild wolf in my imagination.

Hey, there's no way, if a wild wolf or something else really wants to come into my small farm and wreak havoc, there's always a way to get in, and I can't prevent it.

I'm thinking about the iron fence tomorrow. I decided to spend the rest of the day in the utility room and rummage through the things that the passers-by had left me before, perhaps like the compass, something useful but that I had forgotten.

The first is the compass - I find it and wipe it clean. It seems to still work, and a pointer on the board turns around - but the person didn't tell me how to use it.

A thick book was also found. The cover of the book is probably written with two words written on it, and it is not clear that it is worn out. As for the contents, this strange font immediately reminded me of the book that the team leader took out in front of the walls of flesh and blood during my previous trip to the Holy City. The two books seem to use the same font.

Like a rope. But the difference is that I can't read the text in the leader's book, but I can understand this one.

I flipped through the curtain, and suddenly saw a familiar word, and hurriedly flipped to that page—

"The green god, who towers over the damp ground like a green Easter Island statue, has overgrown to the point where it is impossible to make out its shape, and its apex disappears into the dark dome...... It stretched out its body to close in on me, a glowing green appendage that looked like huge wings sticking out of a cocoon, and when it touched me, I heard a seductive whisper from its mouthless. ”
