"Wait a minute, I don't understand what you mean. Fighting wild beasts with fists?" Hearing what the soldier asked his son, the man was a little startled. He looked at the soldier with the eyes of a madman.
"You mean to let my son have the power to compete with wild beasts without becoming a divine machine user and using a divine machine?"
"That's completely correct." The soldier gave the man a thumbs-up gesture, "Don't look at me like that. I'm not crazy. I know that for you scavengers, you don't rely on magic, just on your own.
It’s a bit unbelievable to directly fight against wild beasts, but in fact, our Brilliant Base City already has such technology.”
"So this is the reason why you want to take in scavengers?" After the initial shock, the man calmed down and thought about it, and found that if Brilliant Base City really has this kind of technology, then its behavior of recruiting scavengers without any bottom line is obvious.
Somewhat reasonable.
"No, the reason why we take in scavengers like you is because of the order given by the Savior."
"Savior?" The man took a step back. Although his character was ruthless, he was still quite afraid of a lunatic with brain problems.
He stared at the ground below through the cabin, thinking about his chances of surviving if he jumped with his son in his arms.
hold head high!
At this moment, a roar filled with incomparable majesty and unusually thick sound sounded, and the man saw a huge beast emitting cyan light, dragging a trace of light clearly visible to the naked eye, flying past not far away
.
Although this giant beast was very far away from them, because its body was so huge, the man could clearly see its actions. He saw with his own eyes that the giant beast turned its head and glanced in the direction where they were.
It was this look that made the man take a step back, and then sat down on the ground, his body trembling. The cruelty of others did not prevent him from feeling fear when he saw something that could kill him easily.
"Praise the great green dragon... When your wings spread out, the sky will turn blue..."
Just when the man felt that he was definitely going to die, he suddenly heard an almost crazy voice ringing in his ears, and he turned his head following the sound.
He found that the somewhat crazy soldier was kneeling on the ground, saying some extremely complimentary words. Of course, in the man's eyes, this meant that the soldier had gone completely crazy.
"Why are you in such a posture? If you want to worship, kneel down like me instead of sitting on the ground."
"Why should I kneel before a wild beast that could kill me at any time?"
"Oh, I forgot to explain to you, the one that just flew over was an ancient dragon, not a wild beast." The soldier knelt on the ground and explained to the scavengers who had been frightened by the ancient green dragon that had just passed by.
"Brother, do you have any problem here?" A scavenger nodded his head with a look of horror on his face, "Such a big monster, if it's not a wild beast, what else can it be?"
"Those are the retinue of the savior." The soldier explained patiently, "In our base city, the divine machine has retreated to the second line and does not participate in the battle. The ones who really protect our base are those beings called dragons and wild beasts.
Vulnerable to them."
"Wait a minute, you mean the person who just flew over is actually the guardian of your base city?"
"Yes."
"How many bases do you have for such monsters, no, such dragons?" The ancient green dragon had disappeared from the man's sight. He stared at the long-lasting light band in the sky, and then asked the soldiers.
He thought he knew why Brilliant Base City behaved differently from other remaining base cities in the world. When things go wrong, there must be monsters. This base city really has something that other base cities don't have.
"There are one hundred and nine statues in total!"
"How many?"
"One hundred and nine, what's the problem?"
"How can your Brilliant Base City be able to raise so many giant beasts? Are they the same as wild beasts and don't need to eat?"
"Yes, of course dragons don't need to eat. Otherwise, our base city would have been famine long ago. How could we still accommodate you? And not only do they not need to eat, they have also solved our food problem."
"They also provided food, are they so good?" The man's face showed a look of hesitation, and he pointed to the thorny jungle below, "They also planted these?"
"Yes, only they can make plants grow back on the land. Otherwise, in this broken world where even the sun has disappeared, how can we plant these useless things on a large scale?"
"Isn't it like a god to be able to make plants grow again on the earth without using any instruments? These things are useless to us humans, but it won't be possible for these dragons."
The man stood up from the ground and touched his chin. There was deep vigilance in his eyes. This was an instinct he had developed after surviving in the wilderness for a long time.
In his eyes, no one in this world would show kindness to others without any reason. Once they show kindness, there must be a purpose.
"Have you ever asked the dragons what they planted these plants for?"
"After asking, they said that our world has been too severely destroyed by those wild beasts, and the remaining species are too monotonous to form an ecological cycle, so they want to help our world reconstruct the ecological chain."
"Sounds like a good thing, but I always feel that something is wrong." The man's brows furrowed tightly, forming a Sichuan pattern.
"Hey, boy, you just said that this brother is crazy. I think you are really crazy. You think about this and that all day long, and you feel like everyone will harm you. Now you can survive in this world and have something to eat.
It’s not easy to eat, so why do you think so much?”
While the man was thinking, a scavenger who boarded the plane with him said with a smile.
When the man heard someone laughing at him, he turned his head to look at her, and then turned his head silently, not bothering to talk to him. In his opinion, it was better to die clearly than to live in confusion.
After thinking for a moment, the man gave up thinking because the information he got now was really too little, and he wouldn't know the answer even if he tried hard.
The man who gave up thinking and began to admire the scenery below discovered that after the transport plane had been flying for a while, at the end of the horizon, a base city that was being expanded appeared on the outside.
At the same time, the slightly proud voice of the soldiers on the cabin also sounded, "Everyone, welcome to the Brilliant Base City. From today on, you are a member of the Base City."
At this time, both the father and son and another group of scavengers were shocked speechless by the base city in front of them.
What shocked them was not the scale or the architecture of this base city, but the residents, or guardians, in this base city, because these fantastic creatures really exceeded the limits of their imagination.
"What are these?" As the transport plane landed, the man who had taken his son across thousands of miles of wilderness happened to look into the eyes of an eighteen-meter-tall giant.
Even in the face of being chased by wild beasts, a man who could run away with his son without changing his expression could not help but change his expression at this moment.
Because the giant in front of him, whose eyes were bigger than his head, once again severely impacted his three views that he had reshaped after the advent of the apocalypse. Because giant creatures of the same shape have far greater impact than monsters, and they bring a lot of impact to people.
The shock was even greater.
"This is what I just told you, the descendants of the savior." The soldier looked calmly at the giant who just passed by their parking lot. Although he was shocked when he saw the giant at first, after seeing it more, he got used to it.
.
"It's time for you to go down. Someone will receive you later. We still have missions. There are many scavengers like you rushing here every day."
Under the urging of the soldiers, the man took his son and several other scavengers off the transport plane, and then looked around with a shocked expression. At this time, he wondered whether he was still in his original world.
"Hey, this time the scavenger actually has a child? It's not easy. Who are his relatives?"
A group of people in work clothes came to them and looked at the children with some surprise.
"I am." The man stood up.
"You are good, you are a qualified father." The leader expressed his appreciation to the man. A person who can carry a burden around in the apocalypse definitely has a strong sense of responsibility.
"You are standing here, even if you have joined our glorious base. Next, you will live in the base level and adapt to it for a period of time. Then we will arrange work for you based on your performance and ability. You have no objection to this at all!"
"No."
"Very good. By the way, let me tell you in advance that your body will undergo some special changes during the adaptation period. Don't be surprised. These are all normal."
"I would like to ask, what changes will there be?"
"Everyone is different. When the changes happen, you will understand."
…
"Abba, my body is green." A crying voice sounded in the small room, and the man immediately broke into his son's room.
"What's wrong?"
"I have a weird thing growing on my belly."
"Let me see." The man opened his son's clothes and saw several small blue scales growing on his belly.
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
"What else do you feel?"
"No." The child shook his head, then hesitated, "I feel like I am a little stronger."
"Then it's okay." The man smiled and touched his son's forehead. "This change is normal, don't be afraid. We are just becoming monsters."
