Chapter 157 Noah’s World
Chapter 157 Noah’s World
"Pullingleng..."
A huge raven descended from the sky and landed on the huge wooden construction machinery.
"?" The blond white man woke up first. He rubbed his eyes and looked at his surroundings in confusion.
When he saw the huge raven landing on the construction machinery, he was stunned for a moment, and then pushed the curly-haired strong man beside him who was still sleeping.
"Hey, wake up, don't sleep." The blond man whispered.
The curly-haired man was pushed awake. He raised his head in a daze and looked at the blond man: "What's wrong? What happened?"
The blond man pointed to the raven next to him: "What do you think that is?"
The curly-haired man looked in the direction he pointed and saw the huge raven.
He woke up immediately, with a vigilant look on his face: "What the hell is this?"
The blond man shook his head: "I don't know either..."
The curly-haired man struggled to sit up and looked at the blond man: "Why did you fall asleep? Didn't you agree to keep a vigil?"
"Aren't you asleep too?" the blond man said angrily.
"Tell me, should we escape?" the curly-haired man whispered.
"Run? Where can we run? Our world... is completely gone." The blond man whispered.
"Damn it...then what should we do? Can we just wait to die?"
"Maybe……"
Having said this, both of them stopped talking. They just leaned silently on the thick tree stump and silently looked at the blood moon in the sky.
The raven squatting on the construction machinery tilted his head and followed their gaze to the sky.
In the dark night sky, the blood moon hung high, emitting a mysterious and eerie red light.
Its red color is deep and intense, as if soaked in blood.
The moonlight fell, dyeing the earth a strange dark red, and all the scenery was slightly distorted under the red light. At first glance, it was nothing, but after looking at it for a long time, I felt a vague feeling of heart palpitations.
As if... something was going to happen.
However, after a long time, the blond man over there began to snore again, but nothing happened.
"Am I sensitive?" Raven murmured lowly.
"Ah!? I said it! I said it must be wrong!!" The curly-haired man became excited.
"..."
The blond man's snoring paused slightly and he opened his eyes again.
"No, wait...did you really fall asleep just now?" Curly Hair's face was full of disbelief.
"No, I didn't sleep. I just...the moon's light was so weird that it made my eyes dry, so I closed my eyes to rest, just for a short while..."
The blond man refused to admit it and said: "It looks like I am taking a nap, but in fact I am very awake."
"..."
"So, what just happened?" the blond man asked.
"...You fell asleep." Curly Hair affirmed.
The blond man: "..."
"That crow, it can talk... I just heard it talking." Curly Hair did not continue to dwell on this issue.
"Hello?" The blond man whistled at the raven in disbelief.
"..."
Xiao Jian looked at him as if he were a fool.
"Hey, you are despised by this bird!" Curly Hair gloated.
"...Good little bird, good little bird, can you help me get the key?" the blond man asked coaxingly.
Xiao Jian glanced at the metal collar around his neck, and there was indeed a keyhole on it.
But this is not a simple collar, but a relic with properties:
[Dragon Skull Clan’s Slave Collar]
Durability: 10/10
Although it is a relic, it does not have any special attributes, only one durability level.
"Do you know where the key is?" Xiao Jian's voice became a little weird when speaking through Raven's throat.
Low, hoarse, and with a strange, echo-like sense of space.
"It really can talk!" the blond man said excitedly.
"Is this the point?" Curly Hair sighed helplessly and said sincerely to the raven, "Hello, powerful... nature elf, can you help us?"
"Then it depends on your value." Xiao Jian's voice came from Raven's mouth again.
"I..." Curly Hair frowned slightly, "I still had some property, but now..."
"Our world has perished." The blond man sighed.
"..."
At this point, the two of them stopped talking. They were both frowning and thinking about their own value.
"So, what happened?" Xiao Jian asked seemingly unintentionally, but in fact this was the question he cared about most.
The sudden appearance of human slaves in fragments of a strange world, and the "destruction of the world" they mentioned, gave Xiao Jian a bad association.
"There's nothing to say..." A trace of fear could not be suppressed on the curly-haired face, and he seemed to be very resistant to mentioning that experience.
"That's a long story..." The blond licked his lips.
"The night is still very long." Xiao Jian's deep and hoarse voice sounded.
"Yes, the night is still very long." The blond paused slightly, and then slowly recounted their experience.
"That day, we were salvaging in the shallow depths of the fog - you know, good things will float in the fog from time to time... Someone just salvaged a worn-out long sword a few days ago, and sold a total of 300 bottle caps !”
"By the way, a bottle cap is a kind of coin. Because it is relatively simple and looks like a bottle cap, that's why we call it a bottle cap."
"Based on the prices we have over there, 10 bottle caps can be exchanged for 6 donuts..."
As he spoke, the blond man suddenly stopped moving, as if he was caught up in some beautiful memories.
"...Hey, I always felt that life was too hard at that time. But now, we can't even eat donuts... Those damn greens want to starve us to death!"
The blond cursed under his breath.
"Damn greenskin..." Curly Hair also said beside him.
It seems that the two have reached a unanimous consensus on this issue.
The narrative after that became even more intermittent, and there was a wave of memories from time to time. It was incoherent and unorganized, as if it was just casually pouring out the pressure in the heart.
Xiao Jian also listened patiently, and even when the two had an argument over trivial matters, he still did not interrupt their conversation.
Although the information density was low, for Xiao Jian, such chaotic and idle conversations gave him a deeper understanding of the fragments of the world where the two strong men lived.
They called the fragments of their world Noah.
According to the messy conversation between the two, it is unclear when this "Noah" was separated by the fog, but it has been drifting in the fog for at least two or three years!
Because the blond mentioned that a prostitute he was very interested in gave birth to a child. The child was already three years old and looked more and more like him.
From this we can know that the bar where the prostitute was located has been in operation for at least 3 years.
And the name of that bar is called Doomsday, which of course can also be translated as Judgment Day.
In short, in religious terms, it is the day when all mankind will be judged by God.
During the period of the apocalypse, "Noah's World" slowly formed a unique ecological system.
The first is class.
Yes... even after the end of the world, there are almost instinctively divided into completely different levels.
Among them, the top of the pyramid is of course the rich. They live in the center of Noah. They are not affected in any way even when monsters attack the city, and they do not even have to perform any combat obligations.
Then there is the middle class.
These people refer to the merchants, craftsmen or prostitutes on the periphery of the core area.
They have a relatively high income and can afford expensive rent, thus occupying a relatively safe position when monsters attack the city.
Finally, of course, there are the poor people like blondes and curly hair.
Compared with the middle class who have a certain amount of savings, blond and curly haired people are typical people who stop talking and have to go deep into the fog to "salvage" every day.
This so-called "salvage" activity is somewhat similar to the behavior of going to N9339 next door to look for all the useful garbage in the fragments of the world where the farming community is located.
It's just that the things "Salvaged" in "Noah's World" are not relatively complete world fragments, but all kinds of real garbage left behind with the rise and fall of the "Tide of Mist".
Sometimes they are various steel fragments, sometimes they are some strange plant fragments...
At this point, Xiao Jian still felt that these wreckage were somewhat similar to the remains of the "digested" world fragments in the fog.
However, in addition to these real garbage, they can also "salvage" monster corpses, complete armor or weapons, and some people have even picked up magic items from the mist.
Based on Jinfa's description, Xiao Jian could basically determine that this so-called "magic item" should be a relic.
Although it is not yet known what the food source of "Noah's World" is, at least their "industrial system" is completely supported by "salvagers" like the blond brawny man.
Continuous work day after day makes their bodies extremely strong... Some of them can even kill several monsters single-handedly when monsters attack the city!
Speaking of which, I have to mention the monsters in "Noah's World"... They are not zombies, but mainly in animal form.
And these monsters will not even turn into mist after death, but directly become corpses!
Although the blond didn't go into details, he just briefly talked about the trophies on the monsters... but it was obvious that the corpses of these monsters were likely to be the source of meat in "Noah's World".
After talking in bits and pieces for a long time, the blond finally got to the point of the matter.
That day, the fog "ebbed" as usual, and a large amount of garbage was often left in the "shoals" of the fog.
However, when their group of salvagers were preparing to start work, the entire "Noah's World" suddenly experienced a huge shaking, as if a giant sailing ship had hit an iceberg.
Next, a large number of green-skinned beasts (the name given to the blond man) poured out of the fog, killing a large number of salvagers in an instant.
The blond and curly-haired burly men, as well as the burly black man Xiao Jian saw before, were captured at this time...
