Lance, who walked out of the cave, came directly to Nathan's big brother, put a hand on his shoulder casually, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Who are they?"

As he spoke, Lance looked in the direction of the cave.

After Nathan understood, he did not shy away from Kenneth and Tifa and said: "It is the survivors we have met, and we have always taken them with us when we see them pitiful, otherwise with their ability, I am afraid that they will either die of starvation or die in the mouths of alien beasts." ”

"I see, but don't you think it's stupid for you to do this? With these ordinary people who are weak, it's a burden at all, I think a few of you still have some ability, if you don't encounter a situation like today, it shouldn't be a big problem to protect yourself, right?"

"Alas...... Everyone is the same kind, and in this era, if we don't help each other, if all human beings die, there will be no chance for the Kstana continent to rebuild civilization. ”

As he spoke, Nathan slowly let down his guard against this powerful master and said patiently.

Yes, Nathan's words also touched Lance's heart, which he had almost forgotten.

He is burdened with the identity of the guardian of the mainland, shouldn't he be in danger on the mainland and protect these weak existences?

He couldn't help but feel a little more fond of Nathan again.

Although Nathan is such a "stupid" person, isn't such stupidity exactly what the surviving humans now need?

Lance pursed his lips and smiled heartily.

"Brother Nathan, huh? haha...... You're such a stupid person, so let's see how much food you can give me, even if I get paid for protecting you to that magician's castle?"

"Really?"

"Really?"

Before Nathan could speak, Kenneth and Tifa, who had been on the side, asked in unison, a little excited.

They had seen Lance's performance in the city of Gelsa, being chased and intercepted by hundreds of alien beasts, and they were able to rescue them with great ease, and not a single one was injured.

Who wouldn't be thrilled to be protected by him?

Tifa and Kenny Foe danced with excitement, and Lance nodded sincerely, which happened to be heard by Creel who came out of the cave again.

He also walked over with some excitement.

"Is this true?Benefactor, that's really good, I've had the dream of becoming a powerful martial artist since I was a child, you're so powerful, can you teach us?"

"Hey...... Kriel, what are you doing? Heroes of Lance are already very lucky to be able to protect us, not to mention these rude demands. ”

Nathan couldn't hide the joy in his heart.

He was reprimanding Creel in a reprimanding tone, but it was only for Lance.

But then he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said to Lance with some embarrassment: "But our food ......."

"Don't worry, according to your clues, more than fifty kilometers, with these ordinary people, it is estimated that it will be two or three days away, if the food is really not enough, we can also go to Gelsa City again, there must be a lot of food left in it, and before you came, I have already explored, in addition to a large number of low-level alien beasts in Gelsa City, there are no powerful high-level alien beasts, to get some food, it is very easy. ”

Indeed, after Lance entered Gelsa City, he released his perception to search the city, except for a few slightly stronger alien wolves in the center of the city, there were no more powerful alien beasts.

Killing them was a waste of time, so Lance didn't bother them when he sensed it.

"That's great, Lance Heroes......"

"Brother Nathan, just call me Lance, don't always take a bite of a hero and a benefactor, it sounds weird and awkward. ”

"Okay, good, seeing that I'm older than you, I'll call you Brother Lance, haha...... Let's go into the cave and eat something, and by the way, let everyone know you, a righteous and powerful hero!"

With that, Big Brother Nathan led the group into the cave.

After lighting the torches, Lance was able to see the six survivors in the cave.

They were three boys and two girls, and a young boy in his teens.

One of the three men was missing an arm, and the other two were probably almost sixty years old, and their hair looked a little gray.

The age of these two women is not too young, at least in their fifties.

Now each of them had in their hands a piece of dry bread that Tifa had given them earlier, and was devouring it in a state of embarrassment.

As for Lance, a strange man who was black from head to toe, he didn't attract the attention of the few people who gobbled it up.

Looks like they're really hungry.

After seeing these people clearly, Lance couldn't help frowning.

"Brother Nathan, how did they survive with these people until now?"

Lance thought to himself, and then looked at them with a slightly different gaze, but in the dimly lit cavern, no one noticed these details.

Soon after, Tifa also took out some food from his backpack and distributed it to Lance and the others.

Although they are just shriveled rusks and dried beans that are easy to store, they are already very delicious in such a post-apocalyptic world.

While eating, Lance learns from his conversation with Nathan and the others that Nathan was a well-known hunter in their town before the Dark Ages fell.

He is well versed in hunting down his prey and hiding his whereabouts and aura.

Presumably, this is also the reason why several of them have been able to survive with six weak ordinary people until now.

Kennyford, on the other hand, is a cousin of Nathan, who is a man of few words and a relatively straight person.

As for Uncle Rick, who has died in Gelsa City, he is the teacher of Tifa and Creel, and his strength is also the strongest in this group, a martial artist in the middle of the Junior Realm.

But after all, he is already a little older, and in today's encounter, he accidentally injured his leg, which is very unfortunate to die in the insect mouth.

After getting to know each other, Lance admired Brother Nathan more and more.

Such a hunter whose strength was only equivalent to the strength of the first stage of the Elementary Realm was able to take these people to survive so long in such a dark age, and he was still so "stupid".

After eating, Big Brother Nathan personally counted the total amount of food.

As he expected, although the food was barely enough for them to eat for about three days, but now that Lance had joined him, I was afraid that the food would really be a little insufficient.

After Nathan told Lance about his difficulties, Lance smiled heartily and said indifferently: "Well, tomorrow you wait here for me, Brother Nathan and I will go to Gelsa City to get some food and come back, and then we will set off to the place you mentioned." ”

"I'm going too, there is still a lot of food in the house of the family we went to today, and if it wasn't discovered by the mutant bugs, we could have brought out more food. ”

It was Tifa who spoke, and her strength to Lance had turned into worship.

But before she could continue to speak, Lance waved his hand and replied: "Too many people will be troublesome, Brother Nathan used to be a hunter, and he is here today, with him leading the way, we will be back soon, don't worry." ”

After arranging the next day's events, the few people chatted for a while, but the survivors didn't know why, they were very afraid of Lance, and after eating, they curled up in the depths of the cave from beginning to end, and did not speak.

Lance didn't feel much of a surprise at this, and at first, Nathan and the others were a little afraid of him.

After chatting for a while, Lance stood up and said to Nathan, "You guys rest, I'll keep your vigil outside the cave, nothing special, don't come and disturb me." ”

With that, Lance walked out of the cave and found an air outlet outside to absorb the wind elements around him.

Today's battle, although there is no danger, but in order to ensure the safety of Nathan and a few people, Lance's magic elements and battle qi consumption is really large, in such a post-apocalyptic environment, it is Lance's habit to ensure the abundance of strength at any time.

And now in addition to absorbing the wind elements around him, he also has to constantly refine the dark energy in his body.

Such a power, in the eyes of these ordinary people, is an incomparably evil existence.

Lance didn't want these people to misunderstand, so he chose to cultivate outside the cave by himself.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, the sky was just bright, but it was still the same as usual, and the sky that should have been blue was still shrouded in a layer of gray haze, which made people feel a little depressed.

Despite this, Lance, who had long been accustomed to this kind of weather, stood up and stretched.

After a night of cultivation, Lance felt that the strength in his body was already abundant.

But to his surprise, Nathan and the others hadn't gotten up yet.

"Big Brother Nathan......"

Lance got up and walked towards the entrance of the cave, shouting as he went.

"Oh, Brother Lance, are you awake?"

As soon as Lance finished speaking, Nathan walked out of the hole, and it seemed that he had already woken up, but he didn't come out to disturb Lance.

"Wake up, the place you chose is very good, very safe, and there was no movement all night. ”

"This place is remote, and there is nothing to eat, and the animals don't like to come to this place, so it's relatively safe, Brother Lance, I have a question, I don't know if I should ask it......"

"Oh, what's the problem? Brother Nathan, you say!"

With yesterday's understanding, Lance admired Nathan's noble character very much, so he didn't feel presumptuous in his question.

When Nathan saw Lance's casual appearance, he pulled Lance farther into the cave.

"Brother Lance, I've heard some survivors say before that some human gathering places are recruiting some powerful martial monks, why are you still wandering outside......

"Well...... this"

Listening to Nathan's question, Lance immediately frowned, and his face was full of hesitation.

Seeing this, Nathan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Brother Lance, it's okay if it's inconvenient for you to say, you see I'm also talkative, don't take it to heart." ”

"It's nothing, in fact, I've also been to some survivor gathering places, after the Dark Ages came, many human beings have lost their original nature, I can't get used to it, but I don't want to kill those people with killers, although I also understand that this is a change in the laws of survival, but if you can't get used to it, you can't get used to it. ”

Lance's face turned slightly unnatural, and after a moment's thought, he replied.

Although he was telling some truths, it was not the reason why he was really wandering.
