Seeing that the old man had a tendency to talk endlessly, Lin Cheng finally couldn't help but interrupt him after listening for a while, "Although I really want to know your story, should we talk about the situation at hand first?
What's going on? Without talking about anything else, can you first explain to me why you were able to touch me without me noticing?"
"this……"
Seeing Lin Cheng come up and ask this, the old man's expression was a little hesitant. After hesitating for a moment, he explained: "Actually, this is what happened. I don't know why I suddenly had a method of concealment about half a year ago.
The ability of my own breath! I didn’t think this ability was useful at first, but later I discovered that as long as I can use this ability, I can actually do a lot of things that I couldn’t do before!”
"Hidden aura? Hmm..."
After listening to the old man's explanation, Lin Cheng suddenly realized that he had actually seen a few people with this kind of ability. Although it did not belong to combat-type abilities, if the ability user itself has good strength, then with this ability
If so, you can actually compete with those with combat abilities.
Although the old man in front of him is quite old, judging from the intensity of his attack just now and the tenacity he showed afterwards, it is obvious that the other party has not wasted the abilities he learned in the army in the past twenty years, and
Although the old man looks unshaven, if you take a closer look, you will find that he actually looks much younger than his real age, which may have something to do with his diligence in exercising.
A veteran who has been training himself for twenty years knows without thinking that the opponent's ability level will not be low, so Lin Cheng also understood why he was not aware of the opponent's existence until the moment before he took action.
Knowing that the other party's ability was to conceal aura, Lin Cheng no longer struggled with this and continued to ask: "Then can you explain to me again why you refused to show up when we came here to search, but suddenly you showed up?
Did you drag me into your hiding place at this time? Also, we searched this city before and it is almost certain that it is a dead city. You said that you have lived here for twenty years, so these two
How have you solved your own food and clothing problem in the past ten years?"
"Because when you first came here, I wasn't sure whether you were good people or bad people. Although this city is a dead city, it doesn't mean that there is no living person here. And the reason why I know that there are other people in this city
The survivors are still hiding in such a small room, precisely because some of the behaviors of those people are very wrong in my opinion! So I didn’t want to meet you at the beginning. This can save me a lot of trouble...
"
Although Lin Cheng's tone was a bit tough, the old man didn't care. After explaining in detail why he refused to show up before, he continued: "As for food and clothing, this matter has never been a problem for me! Kalk City
There is a wilderness nearby, and many wild beasts live in this wilderness. Although before the end of the world, I drove to the nearby city of Fia to buy most of my food, I would occasionally go out hunting by myself.
After the end of the world, hunting has become all my food sources! Although those beasts have become more difficult to deal with after the end of the world, for an old hunter like me, it just takes a little more time.
It’s just something that can be solved.”
"You mean there are other survivors in this city besides you?"
After listening to the old man's explanation, Lin Cheng nodded slightly. In fact, after learning the other party's previous identity, he had already roughly guessed how the old man solved the problem of food and clothing. Although Eros is a vast land with few people, it is relatively full of animals and beasts.
It was relatively common. He had encountered them frequently along the way. As long as he put some effort into it, it was actually easy to catch some to fill his stomach. Not to mention that the old man himself was a retired soldier and had very rich hunting experience.
Hearing Lin Cheng's words, the old man nodded and said: "There must be! There are actually many people like me who hate noisy big cities and want to live in seclusion. It's just that there are too many abandoned cities in Eros, and they are evenly distributed.
There are not many people left in this abandoned city. The last time I met a living person was two months ago, and I haven’t met anyone recently. You are the first one I met two months ago.
It’s incredible that he is a survivor, and he is also a Chinese..."
"All right."
All of the old man's answers sounded quite honest. The most important thing was that most of them were similar to Lin Cheng's guess, so he didn't doubt him and asked the question he cared about the most, "The last question, you
Why did you care so much about the sound after you pulled me in here just now? Are there any dangerous monsters here that are also very sensitive to sound?"
"That's right!"
Seeing that Lin Cheng finally talked about this matter, the old man nodded and said in a deep voice: "Because there were only a few living people in this city, even if the apocalypse came, it did not experience much turmoil. In this year
I probably only encountered less than five zombies and monsters. It can be said that zombies and monsters have never been a threat to this city. The real threat is actually rats! Since the end of the world, since this city has always been
There were not many living people, and the rats, which had no natural enemies at all, evolved extremely quickly, and almost took over the entire city in less than two months!"
"mouse?"
Hearing this, Lin Cheng was stunned and remembered the group of big rats that passed by his feet just now.
Nodding vigorously again, the old man said with emotion: "Yes, because there are no natural enemies, these mice grow extremely fast, and their IQs also increase rapidly. Now, it is no exaggeration to say that these mice can already be regarded as
They are a group of guys with strict discipline! I used to be a soldier and I am very sensitive to discipline, so I know very well how scary it will be when a group of giant rats have discipline! I guess the reason for these two
I haven’t met any survivors for months, because I may be the only living person left in this city! The others may have been chewed into bones by this army of giant rats..."
"Isn't this... wrong?"
Hearing this, Lin Cheng couldn't help but frowned, "I just met the giant rats you mentioned just now. Although these rats are quite big, they don't seem to be interested in me, a living person.
He walked right past me without even looking at me." (To be continued)
