After talking to the three birds, Shen Rui chose to leave and turned around to fly southwest. He also wanted to recruit the three people.
The three giant birds looked at his leaving figure and whispered.
"This guy is the most powerful among human beings. If we had attacked just now, I would be at least 50% sure of killing him." The two-headed white eagle stretched out its red tongue and licked its paws.
"Hmph, killing him means that there is no hope of fighting against the shadows. Now our number one enemy is the shadows, not humans." The white-headed seagull jumped out and refused.
"Yes, the situation has changed. We have new strength to support us. We will leave the disagreements with humans for later. We must focus on the overall situation." Fengniao stared at Shen Rui's retreating back with complicated eyes.
"Besides, wouldn't it be too wasteful to kill like this?"
It whispered.
Shen Rui only felt three waves of cold air coming from behind, but was not panicked.
The two sides now have a relationship of cooperation and confrontation. As the other party has pointed out, sooner or later there will be a war.
He spent several hours and saw a string of islands.
The island is vaguely visible, with large areas of gray-white buildings covered with all kinds of withered vines and grass. Winter has arrived, and as the vegetation withers, the originally deserted city is revealed again.
Corroded wood, damaged asphalt roads, and crooked telephone poles are completely commonplace wasteland scenes.
Beside the road, you can vaguely see piles of bones and crows circling.
Shen Rui doesn't have much psychological fluctuations. He has long been accustomed to this kind of situation for more than two years. If he can't get used to it, he will have fatal flaws on the battlefield.
He recalled the coordinates given by the newly appointed deputy director of personnel, which should be near a half-moon-shaped island bay, where there was an area of survivors.
He quickly followed the coordinates, drove his mount, and flew to the designated location.
Then he saw an unimaginable scene, and his originally dull mood fluctuated again.
I saw a high cliff at the sharp corner of the bay, and a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people were lining up to jump into the sea...
In the ocean, more than a dozen huge sea snakes were wandering around, greedily opening their mouths. They were very scary. Whenever someone jumped down, they would pounce on him and fight for him.
Under the dim sunlight, this scene should have seemed a bit tragic, but a group of young men with guns watching behind them changed the scene.
Shen Rui recalled his own experience and realized why some foreigners he met envied Kyushu's situation.
Although there are still frequent fights there, at least people can still live like human beings. In many places, people have long been reduced to beasts.
This is the end.
He didn't stop all this, after all, he was here to collect people, not to meddle in other people's business.
He understood that there must be a deep-seated reason behind this seemingly tragic scene.
The result of a hasty move is likely to upset the local balance and bring even worse results.
Sure enough, after watching it for a while, he had new changes.
The group of huge sea snakes quickly pushed several of their kind onto the rocks below the high cliff.
Those sea snakes were dead, and their long bodies gave off a faint stench.
Soon someone dropped the hook, accurately caught the bodies of the sea snakes, and then dragged them up the high cliff.
trade?
Shen Rui didn't see clearly. He followed the road behind those people and found a fortress.
The fortress is a bit low, only a dozen meters high, but it is extremely strong and divided into three layers of inner and outer walls.
He landed slowly outside the city wall and was quickly discovered by the guards on the city wall.
The guard did not attack rashly, but looked carefully with a telescope for a while, then picked up the phone and notified the people in the castle.
It didn't take long for Shen Rui to see the person he wanted to see on this trip, Rachel with long snow-white hair. The other person stood on the city wall and greeted him:
"Oh, I'm so rude, Commander Shen. These guards couldn't confirm your true identity, so they didn't greet you. Please forgive me."
Shen Rui raised his height to the same level as the city wall, waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I understand that there are many weirdos who are good at disguise, and they are very dedicated to their duties."
After saying hello, Rachel welcomed Shen Rui into a conference room to talk.
"I wonder what business Mr. Shen has here?" Rachel said with a hint of expectation in her eyes.
"I hope you can join my team, of course the permanent one." Shen Rui didn't talk nonsense. There was no need to go around in circles, because the work of the Human Resources Department had already been done in advance.
"I have been waiting for this sentence for a long time. Let's go now." Rachel stood up immediately after hearing the words, waved her skirt, and showed a very happy expression.
"Wait a minute," the accompanying guards suddenly knelt down, and someone said, "Lady Rachel, do you want to give up on us?"
"Hmph, I have already negotiated the conditions for leaving with the city lords, and you have no reason to stop me. If there weren't some interesting places in this dirty place, I would have left long ago, but most of those interesting people are already dead. It's time for me to leave." There was a trace of hatred in Rachel's eyes.
"Ah, sir, if you leave, the people in the city will have a worse life." The guards obviously didn't know about the upper-level transactions, they just instinctively wanted to keep the strong ones.
"It's ridiculous. Before I got that kind of power, you treated me like a waste. You thought I had insulted my surname and origin. Now, don't you feel ashamed to say these things?" Rachel said, Walk out the door.
The guards all bowed their heads, and no one said anything.
Shen Rui followed him out, and then released another wild goose in the open space of the courtyard.
Without his instructions, the other party already understood, jumped slightly, and sat firmly on it.
In the complicated eyes of the guards, the two people took off.
During the whole process, no one else appeared to stop them from leaving.
But Shen Rui is a little strange. Since the really powerful people in this city don't want to stop him from taking away high-end combat power, he should take the opportunity to come out to please him and leave the favor.
Rachel saw his doubts and took the initiative to speak: "Those people are worried that I will use your face to mock them. They are a bunch of fools. How could I do such a boring thing."
"That's it." Shen Rui nodded.
He remembered that the "bottom power" of the opponent's talent, the more seriously he was injured, the higher the damage. Before he had gained the aura of his team, it was obviously a useless skill.
Because it can only be used once, and after one time, there is a high probability of death.
What's the point of cultivating such a talent through hard work? Is it just a one-time self-destruct weapon?
The status of self-destructive weapons is destined not to be higher than that of conventional weapons.
In that test of the genius clause, the opponent gained the aura of his team, which completely changed his own value and status.
"By the way, I saw a cliff when I came here..." Shen Rui then changed the subject in order to get the other person out of the uncomfortable atmosphere just now.
"Oh, this is a custom here. Useless people will be caught and fed to sea monsters. They have reached an agreement with sea monsters. Those sea snakes eat people's brains and can increase their wisdom. Especially the elderly, who are over the age of 60 people, and they can get some sea monster carcasses." Rachel said with disgust.
Shen Rui nodded. Since it is a local custom, he should respect others. After all, this is their way of survival. He has no right to interfere with the other party.
