Chapter 35: Atiseus I

Even though he had evacuated far ahead of time, Liao Ji could still feel the faint tremor of the ground under his feet, and looking into the distance in the direction he came, he could vaguely see a huge blood-red tornado raging the earth.

Outside of the storm, the reddish gusts of wind that leaked and remained were blowing in the wilderness, and the slightest touch to the skin immediately sent a burning and stinging sensation, which made many Kano villagers behind Liao Ji can't help but try to wrap their tattered clothes tighter on their bodies.

Now the faces of the villagers are full of a sense of happiness for escaping death, and they all look at the natural disasters in the distance with Liao Ji with extremely frightened eyes.

The original village of Kano was obviously within the scope of the natural disaster, and if the young man hadn't informed them in advance and let them abandon the village and flee, the villagers would have trembled at the thought that they would be in that terrifying blood-red tornado.

Natural disasters can be regarded as Liao Ji's old friend in "Falling".

How many times have the gathering places been like Kano Village, which has carried the turbid monsters and repelled the scavenging thugs, only to have the last ruthless natural disaster, as if it was a mocking useless effort, so that players can only watch the infrastructure that they have worked so hard to build, and the contractors who have invested a lot of effort to cultivate, are all destroyed and annihilated under the natural disaster, and finally turned into a "GAME OVER" icon, left to angry players off-screen.

It's no wonder that "Falling" died violently soon after its release, and the setting of abusing players and cultivating characters in this way is enough to dissuade the vast majority of normal people.

Fortunately, there are old players like Liao Ji who have persevered, and finally found out a little bit of the law and omen of natural disasters, and wrote a strategy manual, which more or less avoided similar tragedies, but there are still a small number of natural disasters, which are unregulated, and may suddenly appear at any time and place.

Liao Ji shook his head and closed his gaze from the direction of the blood red tornado.

Fortunately, there is still an early warning of this natural disaster, and Liao Ji was faintly aware of the abnormal movement of the reptile antbeast before, otherwise his dream trip to No. 0 would probably have to end early.

This is also why Liao Ji didn't care about the escaped scavengers, if they didn't come back, it would be a life, and if they still brought people back to Kano Village

Then they have to blame themselves.

Continuing on the road, Liao Ji's goal is very clear, which is to move in the direction of the final boss of this area, the "witch" of one of the five turbid kings.

Even if Liao Ji is going to challenge the witch, the villagers of Kano Village will continue to follow Liao Ji no matter what they say, and it is useless for Liao Ji to persuade him.

After the "natural disaster", the villagers are even more convinced of Liao Ji's identity as a "prophet", after all, only the "savior" can avoid natural disasters so accurately.

In addition, in addition to staying by Liao Ji's side, it is absolutely safe, some villagers can't help but also have selfish intentions, they are now following the prophecy of the people, so when Liao Ji really becomes the savior, their first batch of people, if nothing else, can at least have a reputation and have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, right?

As the troops advanced, perhaps because of natural disasters, there were many fewer turbidity monsters in the wilderness, and they didn't encounter any more groups except for a few sporadic ones that were directly dealt with by Liao Ji.

When he finally came to the periphery of the red circle on the map, marking the "witch" area, Liao Ji was forced to stop again, but this time it was not because of the monster.

but

I saw a little girl blocking the way in front of me.

The previous turbidity monsters, the villagers all relied on Liao Ji to help, and this time I saw that there was a ragged one dressed like them, and it was obviously a refugee who was blocking the way, this time the villagers volunteered and rushed forward to help Liao Ji solve it.

"Hey, get out of the way! Do you know what we're going to do, don't delay our Savior! ”

Some of the villagers showed a vicious expression at the little girl, and kept waving their hands to drive away, after all, they have seen too many people like this, most of them have lost their gathering places, and can only beg and sell miserably to passers-by in the wilderness.

But this time, they seem to be wrong.

"Yes, I'm sorry! I'll just . I just want to ask, have you seen my parents? The little girl was scolded by the villagers, and she clenched the corners of her skirt with her hands in fear, but as soon as she gritted her teeth, she still mustered up the courage to ask.

Immediately afterwards, the little girl hurriedly compared the characteristics and body shape of her parents in the impatient eyes of the villagers.

The villagers were about to refuse, but the little girl's next sentence made them choke back.

Because

"We were attacked, Mom and Dad left all the things for me, saying, let me go first, they will catch up soon, but I have been waiting here for a long time, why haven't they come yet?"

The little girl just recounted the experience, but the focus of the villagers was on the "things".

Some villagers immediately said that they should let the girl take out the things left by her parents and let them take a look, maybe they can better help the little girl find her parents by reading these things.

Hearing that the villagers were willing to help her, the little girl was immediately very excited and grateful, she quickly took out a small package from her arms, opened it in front of the villagers, and found that there was a thick stack of tickets, on which were printed with patterns like angel wings.

"It's . Food stamps for the Salvation Society! ”

"As long as you take this, you can exchange food with the people of the Salvation Society!"

"Who are the girl's parents, and how can they save so many food stamps? That's enough for us to eat for a few days."

"She and her parents got lost, it's too dangerous for one person to hold such a precious thing, we have to help her keep it."

"Yes, yes, yes! Let's help her keep it first, let her follow us, and then change it back when we find her parents. ”

"No, I think it's better to let her stay here, that's right, the place we're going to go after that is very dangerous, and when we find her parents along the way, it would be better to bring her parents over to find her."

"You have a point, so be it."

After a few words of discussion, the villagers seemed to have made a decision for the little girl, and they told the little girl to give them the food stamps in her hand, and then they would take them as a reward and token, and when they really found the little girl's parents, they would immediately send them back to the little girl.

In the face of these villagers who cast "fiery" glances at her, or more precisely at the food stamps in her hand, the little girl gave the package left to her by her parents with great trust, and kept thanking the villagers for being willing to take the risk to find her parents for her.

"Then I. I'm staying here, and Mom and Dad will ask you, thank you. I'm really grateful, and sure enough, Mom and Dad are right, there are many good people in this world, and everyone is a good person. ”

The little girl who was in the way made way for the villagers, and the villagers were a little dodgy for the little girl's sincere and hopeful eyes, and they were about to leave quickly and report to Liao Ji that the problem had been solved.

As soon as the villagers turned their heads, they were startled, especially the villagers who divided the little girl's food stamps, so frightened that the packages in their hands fell to the ground.

Because their prophet, the Savior, came here at some point, and it seems that he has been here for a long time, staring at them for a long time.
