"Uncle, why don't you speak?"

"I want to be quiet."

“……”

In this way, the two of them, one big and one younger, walked and talked, and after about twenty minutes, they came to the bottom of a huge tree.

The roots of the giant tree are one zhang thick, and the tall and straight trunk reaches into the sky, although it has long since died, you can still imagine the flourishing branches from the huge branches.

The old man Chu Huan met last night was sitting under the tree.

Seeing the old man, the little bell threw himself directly into his arms, and then handed over the food in his hand.

The old man took a small bite of the biscuit, and pinched the little bell's face with a doting face: "You play by yourself for a while, and I'll talk to this uncle for a while." ”

The little bell nodded obediently, put aside the food and drink in his hand, and then climbed up the giant tree with his hands and feet.

Looking at the little bell's vigorous skills, Chu Huan sighed to himself, when he was a child, he also climbed trees and dug out birds' nests, but that's all.

The little bell climbed more than ten meters, and then stopped at a waist-thick branch, seeing Chu Huan looking at herself, she smiled and beckoned, then stood up and walked towards the trunk.

There was a tree hole there that was not easy to be noticed, if it wasn't for the little bell walking into the tree hole, Chu Huan really wouldn't have found it.

Resisting the idea of going up to find out, Chu Huan looked at the old man.

"Do you think I'm cold-blooded and cruel?" Seeing Chu Huan looking at him, the old man met Chu Huan's gaze and asked.

Chu Huan had a full view of last night's scene, and he understood that the old man should have hardships, but life is in the world...... Who doesn't have unspeakable bitterness and regret?

Especially in an era when human life is not worth much.

"Why do that?" Chu Huan couldn't help but ask.

"We've resisted before, but we've failed."

The old man didn't answer Chu Huan's question directly, but looked at the dead tree: "I was born in the ancient city and have lived here for more than sixty years. ”

"More than anyone else, I want to get out of this place."

"I can't leave."

"We are forsaken by God."

That's a lot of nonsense...... Chu Huan complained in his heart.

He didn't speak, just waited quietly for the old man to continue.

"Half a year ago, the mutant bat came here, and he told us to move out of the ancient city, and he had to provide him with food every month, or he would have killed us all."

"We fought him a few times, and he didn't have anything great about him except that he could fly."

"Until one day when we were about to win, a man appeared...... "The old man said with a trembling voice: "No, maybe he is not human, he ...... We lost. ”

"Then we all moved under the tree."

"The giant tree used to be full of foliage, and the roots under the tree were all around it, which gave us the conditions to burrow."

As he spoke, he reached out and touched the trunk of the tree, as if he had seen an old friend for many years.

"Who's with the mutant bats?" Chu Huan asked a topic that he was more concerned about.

The old man shook his head: "It's not like a person, it's more like a monitor lizard." ”

"It's not all monitor lizards, there should be other mutated genes."

The old man fell into deep thought, and his expression was a little frightened: "We were killed and wounded nearly twenty people in that battle. ”

"In order to survive, we have to prepare one person every month for mutants."

"Now there are less than a hundred of my people."

"Maybe it won't be long before we're all dead."

"Why don't you leave?" Chu Huan was a little puzzled.

"Where can I go if I leave?" The old man smiled wryly: "The city of ruins has almost become the territory of mutants now, and it is a dead end to go." ”

"To other continents?"

"Other continents......" The old man's face showed a hint of yearning: "Yes, you can go to other continents, what are you going to do?" ”

"The three words of the Great Wilderness Continent will make people avoid it, right?"

Chu Huan somewhat understood, over the years, when people mentioned the Great Wilderness Continent, people would think of darkness, dirtiness, etc., he had lived in Yong'an for so long, and he had never heard of people from the Great Wilderness Continent coming, or people from the Great Wilderness Continent living in Yong'an just deliberately did not raise their bodies.

Thinking of his background, Chu Huan knew that there were four continents in the Moon Continent, and the household registration system in each continent was different, just like the household registration in Yong'an was ten households and one guarantee, and people in the Great Wilderness Continent wanted to get a new identity in Yong'an, not only did they need money, because one more person also meant one more vote.

Ten or eight are fine, but what if there are thousands of immigrants, so Yongan has a lot of requirements for settling in Yong'an.

"What do you usually do when you eat and drink?" Chu Huan asked a key question, in a barren world like the Great Wilderness Continent, the most ordinary eating and drinking has become the most fatal problem here.

"Mochizuki Ancient City is the earliest city in Mochizuki Continent...... There are many secrets here. ”

"Before it became a ruin, there was a lot of food stored underground here, and although it was a little moldy, it could not eat the dead."

"It's just that there is no water, and I usually go to the ruined city to buy or rob the water."

"Listen to the little bell say that you are waiting for a savior?"

Hearing Chu Huan's question, the old man turned his head to look at him: "We have an ancient fable circulating here. ”

"When the river is cut off, when the earth is lifeless, when the night comes, the fire begins to spread, and the flood beasts begin to emerge one after another."

"When the ocean roars toward the peak, when the earth begins to fall apart, ferocious beasts eat away at man."

"Heaven and earth were dark, and the earth was like hell, and then the savior came from the east."

"The savior is covered in golden light, and the golden light illuminates the night."

"He drives away evil spirits, dispels darkness, and saves the living."

"The ferocious beasts no longer appeared, the good people survived, and the Savior made spring warm, summer hot, autumn bleak, and winter cold."

"He led humanity into the future, creating a world where there is nothing but love and kindness."

"People travel through the stars, walk in the sea, and live forever at the end of time."

"This is a story that every person in the Great Wilderness Continent will hear since childhood, but now no one has ever mentioned it."

"I told Little Bell this just to give her hope."

In the end, the old man's voice was inaudible, and his face was ashamed, and to this day, I am afraid that he also knows that the so-called fable is just a kind of hope for a better life.

This is a fable, this is simply a mythical story, this is the idea that came to Chu Huan's heart after listening to the old man's words.

It is not so much the expectation of the future of people in the dark world as a comfort for the current living environment.

However, thinking of the little star that was still sleeping in his head, Chu Huan didn't know how much there was still unknown in this world.

Just like this ancient city that has been sleeping for almost a thousand years.

How many secrets are buried?

Chu Huan was thinking about it, when the old man suddenly looked at Chu Huan and asked, "Where are you from?" ”

"Dajiangzhou, Peiguo."

"Peiguo ......" The old man had heard of this eastern country, and just when he wanted to ask something more, a cry suddenly came from the tree.

Hearing the cry, the old man's expression was gloomy.

Chu Huan immediately understood.

He couldn't help but feel a little disgusted with this place in his heart.

Why is the world the way it is?

Whose fault is it?
