"There is a lake...... Ahem! What kind of smell is this, so pungent......" Qiu Ran was choked and coughed, and couldn't help but ask.

"Nerd, in the cold and frozen land of TM Outside, can the lake water that emits a glimmer of light be a normal lake?" Nomi lowered her body and stroked the snow on the ground with her head down.

"Car prints."

Li Oz saw it:

"The trail is very new, and a convoy passed by not long ago – it looks like a car has detached from the line."

"Is it the White Fangs?"

"Not sure. It could also be other loiters. ”

Li Oz shook his head, this kind of thing is not easy to say, he took the short knife and blade from his backpack and stuck it in his waist.

"Can't drive there!" Nomi said: "There is a landslide here, you can't drive that way, take a closer look." ”

"You look at the car here. We passed. ”

Li Oz admonished, then disguised the vehicle and walked with Nomi towards the lake.

The storm outside is too big, the soil is not solid, even if there is a map, it is not easy to use, the wind blows people away, and it is not uncommon for the hillside to become a depression overnight.

Judging from the traces of tires, there should not be many people, and it cannot be ruled out that it is the possibility of outsiders loitering looking for warm areas to escape the cold.

After walking a few hundred steps, they saw the truth of the flash lake: from the distant hills, ten pipes the size of trucks poked out of the mountain pass, continuously discharging dirty and hot wastewater, pouring down from a height of tens of meters, and all kinds of garbage, waste products, filth, and corpse residues were naturally washed and piled up on the shore, forming an embankment.

"I'm ...... Frost-plated livestock! ”

Nomi scolded:

"Look! Over there - what's that?! ”

Leoz followed her fingertips: beside a rock, a jumble of discarded canisters was piled up, with a striking yellow-black radiation sign clearly carved on it.

"Radioactive waste."

Li Oz Says:

"It turned out to be a frost-plated sewage pipe, not unusual. There used to be a very good country that poured nuclear wastewater into the sea. ”

"These bastards, animals, pigs and dogs, wolf-hearted scum with dog lungs! It's because Shikoku has been doing this kind of thing to the outside world that Azure Star has become like this! ”

Nomi held the wrench, filled with righteous indignation:

"Whew! What about human rights, morality, industrial development, and necessary sacrifice - the people of the four countries simply sucked the blood of the people of the whole Azure Star to have hypocritical and disgusting prosperity...... That's it, and scolded us Rose Army as terrorists, (purifying society) Frost-plated Sky Ring Zhengxu Red Arrow! One counts as one, and Shikoku is the biggest terrorist! ”

Li Oz does not deny that although Nomi's words are a little ugly, he is not wrong.

He checked the neighborhood and found that there had indeed been someone here, and after a short break to warm up, he left.

"Somebody's over here, sitting on this scrapped TV wreckage, he must have just gone into the wastewater, leaving a puddle of vomit and blood clumps in it...... I guess I went to the waste water to eat it. ”

Li Oz followed the remaining footprints on the ground, and soon found a corpse, along with a self-assembled car.

Just a wanderer, he vomited everywhere, and in pain, he shot his own head.

Li Oz stabbed the corpse in the eye socket, confirmed the kill, and turned over the corpse again, the opponent's equipment was very bad, not as good as his own.

Nomi stood behind him, cautiously scouring his surroundings.

Luckily, he had no companions, and Nomi climbed into the assembled cart and rummaged around for a while, only to find a torn copy of "Toddler Reading Through Stories" and a little finger-long paintbrush.

After flipping through it for a while, Nomi threw the book out, and one of the pages with the illustration of a gentle woman was covered in all sorts of disgusting parts, and there were some yellowish-white stains...... Nomi didn't have to think about it to know what the owner of the book had done to this thing.

Hearing that Li Oz had analyzed the cause of the deceased's death, Nomi muttered:

"What can I eat there...... What an idiot, stinky idiot. ”

"Dead are dead, don't be so malicious - this car still has 42 liters of gas, go to the car and get the oil drum and drain the oil."

"Got it." Rubbing his hands together, Nomi ran back to the car, fetched straws and oil drums, and collected the remaining fuel from the car.

"By the way, what was found on the corpse?"

"I found a letter from Benny Dixon, who had heard from a friend that his mother had been murdered by robbers, and that he was going to the Rose Army for revenge. There was also a relic given to him by his mother: a ring made of a can ring. ”

Since the quest was not triggered, Li Oz threw the letter into a ball and threw it away, and the ring relic made of the can ring was even more meaningless garbage, and he threw it directly into the waste water lake.

[Your actions make Nomi's opinion of you -3]

"Huh?"

Li Oz glanced at Nomi, she looked expressionless, but she turned out to be quite concerned about this kind of thing.

Although the favorability was lowered, Li Oz didn't care very much.

Anyway, Nomi is also a temporary teammate he fooled over, and he can kick it away when he has enough.

"Benny...... It's a pitiful person, but the Rose Army doesn't have time to deal with bandits from the outside world. ”

Nomi shook his head:

"As long as Shikoku is defeated, everything will be fine."

"Behind the rise of every country is the history of blood and tears of another group of people. From ancient times to the present day, empires have never been sacred. Leoz shrugged.

"Then smash all this group of empires, tear them apart, and trample them underfoot." Nomi said.

"And then?"

Li Oz said casually:

"Then you will find that in order to manage the forces that are powerful enough to overthrow the Empire, you must create a stronger, more stable Imperial regime. Repetition – History proves that human beings are human beings, and that they never transcend history. ”

"I can't think of that much."

Nomi shook his head:

"I'm just a stupid fool, and the instructors say that I'm doing nothing a lot of the time, just a little wild cat who can fight and kill."

"But even a wild cat like me can't tolerate the world becoming like this now."

"I don't know if anyone else will have a better option, maybe there will be tyrants, there will be new officials, and the world will be worse off – but I'd rather make a mistake a hundred times than maintain the status quo."

She stared ahead, her one eye full of determination:

"Under this red and black sky, there is a world buried in snow and yellow sand, a world full of despair."

She turned her head and looked at Li Oz:

"Don't think about it too much, it's our world. Aren't me, or you, part of this world? ”

"This is not a fool's game, for us outsiders, the Rose Army, no, all those who rebel against the Four Kingdoms, is our faith."

"Actually, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is impossible to fight against the four countries - but we have to do it. Even if it is just to bring a little pain to Shikoku with his teeth and nails, such a struggle process is enough to prove a point to them:"

"We, we, the reptiles who survive in the outside world, are just as human beings as people as we are in Shikoku who blow heaters, eat steamed buns, and can watch TV and read books."
