Xingwo, this is the name of a small town after the apocalypse.
The meaning is actually easy to understand. This place is dirty and messy. It may not be particularly ugly due to the weather, but it has gradually formed a lingering fishy smell. Once the wind on the ice sheet weakens, the fishy smell will spread to
The whole town.
As for the nest...it's easy to understand. A dirty and messy place is not a nest or what?
But even in such a place, more than nearly ten thousand people still live here.
Because there are not only seven roulette branches in the town and within ten kilometers around it, ranging from level 2 to level 8, but they are also located behind a glacial lake and in front of the mountain peaks, so they will not be disturbed by ice storms. The glacial lake
And in the mountains behind, there are enough mutated life forms for these evolvers to hunt.
Compared to the terrestrial lifeforms in the high mountains that appear and disappear in the ice and snow, more people in Xingwo prefer to go to the ice lake to make a living, because there are many fish and shrimps in it that are not low in evolution level, but not very smart.
At the same level, they are easier to deal with than terrestrial lifeforms.
For example, there is a special product in this ice lake called a turtle. It is not a turtle, but a fourth- and fifth-level mutant life with a head covering half of its body and a hard shell about one meter long. It has hard and sharp teeth in its mouth.
, and also has the ability to spray ice arrows with one hand, and more importantly, this is a social life. Under this ice lake, there are at least five groups of more than 10,000 turtles, and there are many others in the thousands and hundreds.
.
In the middle-level life of Ice Lake, they are overlord-level existences.
But this kind of overlord-level fish is very greedy, especially the flesh and blood of terrestrial life, and has an unusual hobby.
So the evolvers in the fishy nest took advantage of their habit to break the ice on the ice lake, and then used special fishing rods to fish. If the place is chosen correctly, the materials used are of high grade, the hooks are strong, and the companions cooperate
Well, with a little bit of luck, you can catch seven or eight or even more than ten fish in one day.
This cold-water fish with delicious taste and excellent meat can provide sufficient energy and heat. It is one of the best foods in the ice field. The half-armor covered on the body is an excellent material for making armor. Others such as fish bones and teeth
Wait, it’s also a rare good thing.
Of course, there are also magic crystals.
At the end of the day, being able to collect enough magic crystals to spin the roulette wheel once is very attractive in itself.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that the evolvers of Xingwo would rather come to this vast glacial lake to fish.
It is the wide variety of life in the glacial lake that has nurtured the thousands of evolvers here.
On this day, just like countless other days, as soon as it dawned, there were evolvers coming out of the not-so-high city wall of Xingwo one after another to go fishing in the vast glacial lake in front.
The temperature at this time was still very low. Compared to Black Dragon City, it was at least ten degrees lower here. The evolvers covered themselves tightly to resist the severe cold that would never be seen in peacetime.
I don’t blame these people for coming out early. In fact, although the area of the glacial lake is large, there are only a few best fishing spots for turtles. If you come late, the spots will be occupied by people.
There were about a dozen of these evolvers, half of whom were wearing sleds, and the rest were sitting on two sledges, being pulled by four mutant dogs with an evolutionary level of three, and they were moving quickly on the lake.
After an hour of investigation, these people found the activity site of a large school of turtles today and began to dig through the thick ice.
"This seems to be where Kafka's team stayed yesterday. It's only been one night and the ice is more than one meter thick. What the hell is the weather!"
An evolutionist complained as he pulled an auger bit out of the ice.
What he spoke turned out to be Chinese.
"Ajie, how many times have I told you that here, you have to speak the language here!"
An old man scolded the young man rather harshly.
He has a thick beard and his hair is dyed light red. Coupled with his already burly figure, if his skin was not so white, he would really look like a local.
However, no matter how hard you try, you can't hide that face from the East.
If you look carefully, you can see that most of this team are from the Eastern Yellow race, and the other three should also be of mixed race.
The young man named Ajie lowered his head and continued to dig holes in the ice, but his expression was a little angry.
"I know you are not willing, but to make a living here, you have to keep your tail between your legs. When a few of us evolve to six stars, we will leave and go south! To Black Dragon City!"
Many people showed happy expressions after hearing this.
They all dream of returning to the country.
Because their evolutionary level is too low, it is impossible for them to trek long distances on the ice sheet. Any danger will cause them to die without a burial place.
"Dad, we have also spread a lot of news to Black Dragon City. Can't they send someone to take us back? I'm really fed up with the days when people here don't look like humans or ghosts, these ghost guys
, don’t treat us as human beings at all!”
a young man asked, shaking his fist.
Because of their Eastern ancestry, they were bullied in this foreign land.
It was okay in peacetime, because with the protection of the law and the backing of a powerful motherland, they were doing business here, or coming here to study and travel. Apart from the different environment, there were no big problems.
But after the end of the world, the gap between races and countries makes them have a hard time every day. These businessmen, international students, and tourists have even settled here and have mixed descendants. They find that their differences are
The end of the world is infinitely magnified.
The overwhelming repulsion almost shattered them to pieces.
They united, resisted, sacrificed, and compromised... they survived through hardships, but their number has become smaller and smaller. Now, there are only less than a hundred people from the country who are still living in the den.
Apart from them, the others are another team who have been employed by a foreign chamber of commerce for many years. Their life is slightly better than theirs, but not much better.
A year ago, a team from the National District arrived here. They came from Black Dragon City and brought special products from the National District for sale. Although it aroused the covetousness of many locals here, after showing off their strength,
, which made most people give up their thoughts.
Some of them quietly found Dad and asked him to provide some information and materials, minerals, special products, etc. here to Black Dragon City, and Black Dragon City would give them a certain amount of compensation based on the value.
For example, the head armor of the turtle fish is the main material needed by Black Dragon City.
Every three months, someone from Black Dragon City would sneak over and pay to take these things away from Dad and the others.
The strength of Dad's team has improved rapidly over the past year, which has a lot to do with this secret business. Now Dad's evolution level has reached five stars, and the other two are also five stars. For example, Ajie and others have also reached four stars.
level, in Xingwo, this level of evolution has already reached the middle reaches.
With strength, life is slightly easier, but this is also the result of deliberately keeping a low profile, so that those powerful foreign organizations try not to notice them.
"Pick us up? What achievements have we made? Just give them a little turtle's head armor? They paid for it! It's easy to protect us, and send people to buy our things. We only need one or two who are good at it.
That’s enough, but to take us away, you need at least six or seven people of the same strength! Wouldn’t it cost money to use these experts?”
Hearing what Dad said, everyone fell silent.
Dad is very prestigious. Many people in the team have been saved by him and are usually taken care of by him. Most of the credit for the evolutionary potion belongs to dad. This title is more like a thank you to this old man.
.
Since dad said so, that's what it is. Black Dragon City will indeed not send people to protect them from leaving without any reason.
They...have not shown the value of making people willing to send out escorts.
"But..." Dad chuckled, causing everyone to focus on his face, knowing that the old man they regarded as their father must have something to say.
"There was news from Black Dragon City a few days ago, saying that someone will come to me recently and need us to be a guide to take them to Yakutsk. As long as this matter is completed, they can provide me with a bottle of six-star
Evolution potion!”
"real!?"
As soon as everyone heard what they were doing, they stopped doing their work and gathered around one after another. Everyone's eyes were bright.
Being a guide is actually rewarded with a bottle of six-star evolution potion? This is great.
"Dad, I heard that something seems to be happening in Yakutsk recently. If we go, will there be any danger?"
Ajie said worriedly.
Yakutsk is not too far from Xingwo, but the road between it is not easy to walk. In the middle, you need to pass through the famous ice crystal swamp, and there are several territories of powerful mutant life forms. Not many people in the entire Xingwo dare to go there.
side.
With their strength, they would not even take risks.
"They are just serving as a guide, and they are not asking us to fight. They can pass through the ice fields from Black Dragon City to here. They are strong enough. There must be something going on when they go to Yakutsk. If there is danger, they will take action. It should be fine.
"
After hearing what Dad said, other people also thought this was the case. In the end of the world, nothing is without risk. If nothing else, let’s just talk about fishing for turtles. Although we have a lot of experience and the methods are very mature,
But there is also danger. If you fail to grasp the direction of the rod and aim the fish's mouth at the Evolver, the terrifying ice arrow may kill you at any time.
Even fishing is dangerous, so what’s the point of being a guide? Besides, giving a six-star evolution potion at once is what everyone dreams of!
With Bentou, everyone worked hard, opening ice caves, making bait, building defensive walls, preparing ice crystal knives... a series of tasks were completed in forty minutes. Normally, this would take more than an hour to complete.
of.
"Get ready to lower the pole!"
Dad shouted, and the other five-star evolver who was responsible for controlling the fishing rod picked up a metal fishing rod as thick as an adult's arm and planned to put it into the ice cave.
However, it was interrupted by a burst of footsteps.
Everyone turned around and their expressions changed after they saw who was coming.
Although Dad's team came out early, it took about two hours from finding the location to digging the ice cave. It was already daybreak, and there were already many other evolver teams on the ice lake. However, the lake was very large, and they were far away from them.
The nearest one is several hundred meters away, so they didn't pay much attention to it before.
But this group of people appeared suddenly and very quickly, and they didn't become alert until they were within a hundred meters.
‘Roaring Ice Bear’ is the name of this team. There are about fifty people in number. The leader is the man currently leading it, Taroguf, who is known as the ‘dirty-nosed dog’.
This person also only has a five-star level. He still has three five-stars, more than twenty four-stars, and the rest are three-stars.
In terms of overall strength, it is slightly stronger than Dad's Team.
However, if there is a fight, Dad's team is not too afraid of the Roaring Ice Bear, because if they want to kill all the people in Dad's team, the opponent will also have to pay a heavy price. For a team of fifty people, death
A dozen or twenty people may still have a core five-star level, which almost means their decline.
Under normal circumstances, unless there is some unresolved grudge, it is unlikely that these two teams will have a fierce conflict.
But unfortunately, the man with the roaring ice bear gathered around him with a ferocious smile on his face, not afraid of Dad's team at all.
"Mr. Talogov..." The father lowered his head and was interrupted halfway through his first sentence.
"Get out! We want it here!"
Everyone in Dad's team stared angrily when they heard this.
This is the place they found and prepared for one morning. This is the place where they hunt and fish today. If you give it to others? This means they will catch nothing today!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this time, other good places must be occupied by people. If you find an ice cave anywhere, you may not only be unable to catch fish, but may also attract snakes such as blood eels.
Such a monster makes them reduce their numbers.
This is almost a money grab from them.
"What? You won't let me? You yellow-skinned monkeys!"
Taroguf laughed with contempt on his face.
The guys from Team Dad clenched their fists.
This is not the first time that the Roaring Ice Bears have snatched their place. Each of these people has been sleeping in until now and does nothing. They come out of the city to seize the place they have chosen. Sometimes they even
Looting the bait they prepared, how could the people of Dad's team not hate it!
This month alone, they have been robbed by Taroguf five times, and today is the sixth time!
"What the hell..." Ajie was young and energetic, and was about to fight these guys, but his father held him back.
Seeing the man with the roaring ice bear restrained his smile and his eyes flashed with danger, my father quickly smiled and said: "Mr. Taroguf, let's go, we'll leave immediately!"
Taroguf sneered and looked at the sky with a look of disdain. The others also looked like they knew you had no backbone.
"Dad!" Ajie and others looked at their leader anxiously and angrily.
"Shut up, pack your things, and come with me!" Dad's voice has become very stern.
"Leave the bait!" Taroguf's words made Ajie and others' eyes turn red.
These baits are the flesh and blood of a level four ice beast. They are one of the favorite foods of the turtle. Dad bought them at a high price in order to be able to harvest something today. These things cost the team three coins.
Level 5 magic crystal!
"Here!" Dad shouted and suppressed his men again.
Everyone in the team lowered their heads, but their faces were full of humiliation, resentment and unwillingness.
So cowardly!
"Excuse me, is there anyone named Wang Zhiling here?"
A young voice came from behind, interrupting the humiliation of Dad's team, and everyone in the team turned around in surprise.
Because when they heard this sentence, it was said in...Chinese.
