Chapter 514: The Crows and Rats Meet
In the early morning light of dawn, Ye Ning and Li Yishuang, the two of them became the nominal leaders, and with five companions, they were preparing to embark on a journey of struggle for peace. Their goal is still to find the possibility of harmony between humans and monsters.
Their plans were approved after careful scrutiny, and so they embarked on a long-distance flight journey. They rode in modern planes, braved the wind, and opened their magnificent chapter in the air at an altitude of 10,000 meters. The clouds outside the window are white, and with the wings of the airplane, they change into a magnificent picture.
They arrived at Bongseong, a city known for its vast land and majestic architecture. The city's wariness and laziness are intertwined, making every landscape full of stories.
They bypassed the nuclear-contaminated Night City, a once-bustling but now bleak place. In the night sky of Night City, there is no starlight, only polluted darkness and silence. This barren land seems to be a bleak poem, which makes people feel a strong sense of vigilance.
Eventually, they reached their destination, a ruined city ruled by monsters, a deserted city. Once home to humanity, it is now the remains of erosion. Although the deserted city looks bleak and dilapidated on the surface, the ruins that have undergone the baptism of time still show the glory and grandeur of the past. The secrets and stories hidden in those ruins are waiting for them to reveal and find answers.
The contrast between the deserted city and the Huaicheng city is like two different worlds, one is the old world in deep trouble, and the other is a new place where change is brewing.
In Huaicheng, the domination of demon beasts has become the norm. Ye Ning's wisdom and courage enabled him to successfully subdue some of the demon beasts, making it possible to change this society dominated by demon beasts. However, deep into the city, more powerful monsters still await in the dark corners, and they are all like Yanyan Tigers, they still have the ability to survive. Ye Ning didn't plan to do it, his remaining demon beasts were just waiting for those top predators to be squeezed to the limit before they could be saved.
However, the situation in the deserted city is very different from that in Huaicheng. Although the deserted city was also ruled by demon beasts, it was only for a short period of ten years. The monsters there are at a similar level, and in order to survive, for food, they must fight hard. Every battle is a challenge and validation of the edge of their existence. They understand the preciousness of survival and the meaning of peace. These demon beasts are the main objects that Ye Ning and they should talk to and negotiate.
They believe that by communicating with these monsters who understand the value of life, they can guide the beginning of peace and build a bridge of communication between people and monsters. Only by understanding and respecting can we find the dawn of peace in the war of blood and fire, and let the deserted city get out of the chaos and welcome the dawn of new life.
Beneath the endless firmament, like a dim star, the thundercrow pierced the silence in the gloomy and lonely sky. His feathers are as deep as the night, and his eyes are engraved with ancient wisdom and unwavering faith that have been accumulated by time. Beneath him, unfolded is a ruined city that runs through the memories of the years.
The deserted city, once a thriving place, is now a symbol of silence, crushed into intricate rubble by wind carvings. Each ruined wall tells of the lost glory and endless sorrow.
The Thundercrow's head hung down, quietly scanning the deserted city in the air. His gaze is like a cold north wind sweeping across the vast snowfield, looking for a trace of vanishing, looking forward to the emergence of vitality.
At this moment, he fixed his gaze without warning. In the midst of the silent ruins, a pale blue ice pick stood there, like a lone peak in the ruins. Its presence, in stark contrast to this deserted city, evokes the attention of the Thundercrow.
He realized that this ice pick was not simple, it was a code, a familiar and affectionate code. It was a message from his friend, the Ice Mouse.
A faint sense of anticipation and nervousness grew in the Raven's heart, and he fluttered his wings and flew towards the ice pick. The friendship between them has gone through ups and downs and deepened. In this world of ecosystem collapse, the discovery of this moment fills his inner expectation, but also brings unknown tension and excitement.
No matter how the loneliness of the deserted city destroys time, no matter how the ruins are swallowed up by the years, as long as there is each other's company, Thundercrow feels that he has eternal hope in his heart.
Among the ruined houses of the deserted city, the cry of the thundercrow reverberated violently, echoing through every stone wall and broken building. The warmth and anxiety of that tone seemed to pierce the silent world.
Then, a small figure dragged its tired body out of the corner. It was his friend, the Ice Rat. His physical appearance is not as good as before, and the remaining scars on his body and the obvious scratches on his face tell of the fierce battles he once had, blood, fire, and life and death.
Seeing his old friend like this, Thundercrow's heart was filled with a bitterness, which was the bitterness of heartache. At the same time, he also felt joy, which was the joy of life. In a world where animals are fighting each other for survival, many of their companions have either taken refuge with humans or have disappeared in the wilderness. And the ice rat in front of him is still sticking to their world, despite the devastation, but still tenacious.
He looked at the ice rat and said in a low and loud voice peculiar to a crow, "I'm glad you're still alive." ”
These words are full of excitement and happiness, but also contain deep emotion and warmth. In this disaster, with each other, the road to survival may be more bumpy, but every time you fall, there is another hand to pick up. This is a friend, the kind of friendship that does not change no matter how the world changes.
The ice rat patted it lightly on the stone, looking a little frustrated. He shook his head, his eyes full of helplessness and sadness, and then he said in a hoarse voice: "To live, if it is only to survive, to fight, hate, and betray, then it is better to die." ”
His tone was full of despair and regret: "I was the king of rats. ”
Yes, he was once a leader whom all respected, but the mockery of fate made him fall to this point, and he became what he is now: "I lead them through dangerous wilderness and against hostile circumstances, and we are united in the face of common challenges and doom to help each other." ”
In his memory, those past days are like a strong aroma of wine, which makes people nostalgic. However, when food is scarce and the pressure of survival increases, all harmony and unity are broken in an instant, like thin ice: "Suddenly one day they suddenly went crazy and started attacking their own kind, and even did it to me, just to fight for a bite of food." ”
There was an unrelieved pain in his voice, a sad emotion like a cold wind in the night. Under the pressure of lack of food, the rats began to lose their minds in their actions: "Even I, later on, had to participate in those endless wars for a little scraps. In order to survive, swim on the tip of the knife. ”
He looked at the scratches and scars all over his body, and his heart was full of desolation, as if he had seen the former brothers tearing each other in the wilderness. The desperation and helplessness in the eyes of the Ice Rat were particularly deep, he had led all the rats, but now he was the target of pursuit. "I don't know what to do......"
His head was bowed, as if to tell the Raven about his confusion and powerlessness.
The Raven's black wings vibrated and his eyes flashed with determination, stopping in front of the Ice Rat.
He has his own understanding and opinion of the reasons for the turmoil in this world. He did not want to believe that the biological association, which had been working to protect and maintain harmony among animals, could collapse so easily and cause such a tragic food crisis, and he did not want to believe that it was the result of the destruction of the ecosystem, especially considering his own dedication and efforts to the association.
He had reason to suspect that someone was manipulating all of this, and that "man" was undoubtedly their old adversary, the human race. In his view, human beings have been trying to disintegrate and weaken the unity and strength of these animals. In Raven's mind, this catastrophe is more like a trap designed by humans to keep them fighting among themselves, so that they can take advantage of the opportunity to attack them.
He looked at the helpless ice rat in front of him, and he said to him in a firm and affectionate voice: "All this is a trick by humans to subdue us, they want to make us civil strife, and then take the opportunity to fight us. ”
His eyes were tough and passionate, like a burning flame. He tried to use his faith and determination to impress the ice rat and bring him some hope and comfort.
Thundercrow stood in front of the Ice Mouse, and his coincidence sounded dramatic and convincing. He spoke in a hurry, as if he was afraid of missing an important detail. He describes his deep speculations and interpretations of human behavior, even though these are only his speculations and are completely uncorroborate.
"You see, humans are always good at taking advantage of the needs of our animals, and they know that food is very important to us, so they start resorting to temptation strategies." He pointed into the distance, as if he could see some invisible shadow, "They used food as bait to buy some of these animals, and these animals became their internal agents, human undercover agents. ”
His eyes flashed with anger and determination, and his eyes were as black as a crow's feather: "These betrayers, they have abused their position and trust in our group, repeatedly sabotaged our plans, even extended to our granaries, and destroyed our food sources. ”
His voice was full of resentment, sympathy for the animals that had been troubled by it; "This led to internal strife within us, and our association began to fall apart."
