But when Gutner woke up, he used his advanced knowledge to shock the Semitic quite a bit. Gutner also liked this group of simple and unsophisticated aboriginals, so he stayed and used his own knowledge to bring a little more chips for the Semitic's survival.
In the base, Gutner's greatest contribution was to find the underground water that Semitic called the source of life. This was also thanks to Gutner's own rich knowledge of geography. In an area like the Death Ridge that was filled with radiation sources, being able to find a source of water with an acceptable degree of pollution could only be described as a miracle. In the past, the water that Semitic needed to survive was either to drink the metamorph's blood directly, or to dig out the roots and extract the sap from them to serve as a water source. Because of this, the average lifespan of every single Semitic would be around twenty years.
Until Gutner found this water source, in the past ten years, there were very few people who died due to lack of water.
However, this water source was not sufficient. Other than the fact that the amount of underground water was not large, because of the radiation that was present everywhere in Death Ridge, the water quality would usually only be maintained for around a day. It could be said that the existence of the Source of Life could only create a small gap between the life and death of Semitic. And in this forest, there was more than just a lack of water for the fatal YuanSu.
There were torches in front of every log cabin in the valley, and a bonfire near the Origin of Life lit up the surrounding space. This was the most primitive form of illumination. After getting used to the new era's light source, walking into this kind of tribe would give birth to a feeling of absent-mindedness. It was as if time had regressed back to an old era, and to a relatively old era at that.
However, the ball of blue lightning inside Gunter's wooden house reminded him that he was still in a time of turmoil where danger was everywhere.
After sending the few of them to the Prophet's hut, the female Semitic left with the other guards. As for the injured aboriginals, they were brought to the clan to seek help from the witch doctor. At the same time, the corpse of the Firelizard was also brought back. The Shield Armor Snake's scale armor, which even the M500 couldn't penetrate, was taken out by Gunter. Combined with some Oak Tree Fibre, it could be used to make an astonishingly strong and weak stomach.
This was another kind of contribution Gunter had made to the Semitic. Although he was not a master weapon, his many years of exploring experience had allowed Gunter to come into contact with various levels of knowledge. Even the wheel saw that the female clan member used was designed by Gunter, he personally went to Phoenix City and forged it using the city's gold craftsmen's blueprints.
In the Prophet's room, Zero saw an oval-shaped utensil. There were four or five strange flowers floating in the pot. These flowers had five petals, and from the veins, they shone with a ghostly blue light. The entire flower emitted a blue and white halo, illuminating the entire wooden house. But Zero knew they were more than just lighting, because he could feel strong radiation coming off them.
However, the blue flower's container must have been encrypted to minimize the leakage of radioactive material from the blue flower's body.
"Go anywhere, but don't touch that thing." Gunter pointed to the oval container and said: "That's a flower of death, have you heard of it? That's right, it was the strongest radiation source in the whole Death Ridge. Believe me, as long as a normal person comes into direct contact with it, it won't take you 5 minutes to say goodbye to this world. Even though this world is not worth staying in at all … "
Gunter muttered as he poured two bowls of water for Zero and Moni. There was also some dried meat that seemed to be from some unknown beast.
As Gunter watched the two of them eating, he constantly asked a few questions about the outside world. It could be seen that this old man had been isolated from the outside world for too long. Zero could not think of any reason why he would be willing to stay in this remote and dangerous place.
Amidst Gunter's seemingly endless questions, it was unknown when Moni had fallen asleep. The Prophet had asked Zero to carry Moni to a corner of the cabin so that she could sleep, but she himself held onto the magnifying glass as if she was looking at a rare treasure, and was completely focused on studying the Colt.
Without disturbing him, Zero walked up to the door and looked out at the peaceful world.
It was already late at night. Other than the guardians of the Origin of Life, all the other Semitic s had fallen asleep. However, in the empty space before the Origin of Life, there was a graceful figure moving up and down.
It was the black girl who almost attacked nothing. She was holding onto the wheel saw, constantly making various attacking movements on the ground. From afar, she looked like a fairy dancing in the night, full of fantasy.
"The child is called Taelice." Gunter's voice sounded from behind him. He did not even turn around, as though he knew who Zero was looking at.
It seemed like this girl called Taelice would train in these killing techniques every night. She was only observing from afar, but from Taelice's agile movements and the occasional attack stance that far exceeded the limits of an ordinary person's body, she was certain that this girl had definitely accomplished something in the area of Fighting Domain. And from the wave-like silver light that was flowing on the surface of the ferocious weapon while she was dancing with her wheel saw, it could be seen that Taelice still had something to do with the Meteor Rock Realm.
Usually, one would possess two different abilities, known as wide area proficiency. And those who were proficient in wide regions were either mediocre or geniuses. After all, no one was able to develop an entire domain of abilities. The potential of humans was limited, and those who wanted to develop an entire domain of abilities were just greedy for nothing. In the end, all they would do was try their best.
The higher the level of the ability, the more focused one would be on developing the domain ability that they were good at. A wide area proficient was nothing more than someone who specialized in one area of ability, while the other areas of ability were only used as support.
At present, his abilities were already related to the Fighting Domain, perceptual domain and the Meta-Su Domain. However, regarding the automatically generated bullet time, as well as the Fire Essence Su had absorbed from Soren, Zero did not intend to put it in an evolution point. The reason was simple, Fighting Domain's Agility Enhancement could unleash the shooting arts that were Zero's most proficient at. Rather than developing the Su Domain that he was not proficient in, he would rather put his points of evolution into the ability to strengthen his agility.
Of course, with his in-depth knowledge of the Discipline world, Zero understood that Agility enhancement wasn't a very powerful ability. On the contrary, it is a very common adjunct. Therefore, the zero investment in it is also limited to the earlier stage. Now, Zero will keep the evolution point intact, and it will no longer be ready to invest blindly in any of the existing abilities until it finds a more powerful one that suits it.
If there were no surprises, Taelice at least had the cold weapon proficiency, low level strength, agility enhancement, and other abilities that the light element Su was proficient in. This was a judgement made after observing her for a while. To have these abilities, in an underdeveloped clan, Taelice's potential was already very good.
Most importantly, she was still young.
And youth represented an infinite future!
"She is my most beloved child, and at the same time, the pride of Semitic." Gunter still did not plan to put down the Colt, but observed the sniper rifle and said: "Do you know what the name Taelice means? In Semitic's language, it is precisely the meaning of the Moon Goddess, and Semitic worships the Moon God. That's why you see, Taelice is highly respected in this tribe, even this old man who has the name of a prophet isn't inferior to me. "
"Moon's daughter?"
Zero rep
eated the words that were full of the ancient flavor, when he said the last word. Taelice who was in the distance had stopped dancing just in time. She seemed to have sensed that something was wrong and also looked towards the direction of the source of the sound.
The night could not hide the light in Taelice's eyes, it was like the moon, frost filled the sky!
Chapter 130 - Pure Land
Zero walked back and sat beside Gunter.
Gunter's hand landed on the Colt's body, gently caressed it and said: "What a good spear. It looked like a finished machine, but in reality, every part was made by hand. However, the margin of error was so small that it was almost negligible, so it looked like it was made out of a machine. This spear has its own soul! "
Seeing that he was unwilling to let go of the Colt, he shook his head: "You shouldn't be living here."
Gunter laughed loudly: "That's true, but with my experience and knowledge, which city doesn't welcome a scholar standing guard in?"
Zero looked at him, not saying anything. However, he knew that Gunter did not exaggerate, an experienced geographer like Gunter was one of the people most in need in every city. Let's not talk about the distant Phoenix City. If Gunter was willing to stay in the city, his life would be a hundred times better than here.
Gunter walked to the window, looked out the window at the peaceful tribe in the night, and said in a low voice: "But I'm not willing to leave here. Do you know, young man, everyone has a piece of pure land in their heart. This place is my pure land! "
"I've been chasing it all my life, and now that I've found it, I won't leave no matter what." Gunter said with a heavy tone.
He lightly looked at Gunter and Zero said, "My name is Zero."
"Zero?" Starting from zero was a good name. But how many people can really start from scratch? " Gunter sat back down and said: "Zero, how did you get to Death Ridge? With your ability to kill a shield snake, you would at least be a school officer in Phoenix City. "Even if you don't join the military, just accepting missions is enough for you to live on."
Zero glanced at him and said, "I want to go to the Blue collar mountain range to do something."
"Northland?" Gunter was surprised for a moment, and said: "The Blue collar mountain range is a watershed along the coastline of this continent, and those huge monsters are located north of the mountain range. If I remember correctly, Mainland China Great Leader Dark Council is not too far away from the Blue collar mountain range. "
Su Yun shook her head: "I am not heading towards the Dark Council."
Gunter shrugged and said, "I don't care about that, but I can give you a suggestion. Be it the Dark Council or those other big fellows, they were not easy to mess with. "You're not bad, but if you want to cause trouble with them, you're still a little lacking."
Without a word, he looked out of the window. Seeing him like this, Gunter knew that he would not give up his idea, and said: "If we continue walking from here for another kilometer, then we will reach Death Canyon. Do you know what's there? Heh, flower of death, the flower of death s that are everywhere! "
Looking at the flower of death in the oval container, Zero frowned. If this kind of flower with strong radiation could be seen everywhere, then it meant that even if it was zero, it couldn't be easily penetrated, let alone through Death Valley. If that was the case, then he could only take the mountain path, but that would mean that he would have to wait for Zero to reveal his whereabouts. If he was a Parkland's killer, he would have definitely set up a trap on the path that zero had to go through.
Gunter looked at him with half-closed eyes and said, "There is a secret passage in the Death Canyon that only the Semitic can find. Tomorrow, I will get Taelice to send you off. Taelice will not mind helping the person who saved Shinzhe once. "
After he finished speaking, Gunter stood up and stretched lazily, saying, "It's late in the night, you should go to sleep early. I have to get up early tomorrow. "
Soon after, the Prophet used a piece of black cloth to cover the container containing the flower of death. Gunter walked into another room and left the hall for Zero to rest.
Zero walked over to Moni's side and took off the clothes on her body before putting them on the girl's body. Moni slept very deeply as his body curled up like a cat. However, she seemed much more at ease after putting on the 'Zero' coat. Therefore, her curled up body gradually unfurled, and she changed into the most comfortable position. She hugged Lara as she fell into a deep sleep.
He placed the Colt beside him and leaned against the wall as he sat in the corner. His eyes slowly closed, and before long, the sound of long breathing could be heard in the room. This was the first time he had been able to sleep peacefully since entering the Death Ridge, and he did not need to worry about the Parkland's killer that hung over him.
The night passed in silence.
The next day before dawn, Zero woke up from a deep sleep. It was a wonderful state, like a man emerging from deep water to breathe the first breath of fresh air, and every cell gave a pleasant signal. Zero only felt that he was in an excellent condition. Not only had the wounds healed, but he was also in high spirits. Clear signals were transmitted from every part of the body, which allowed the zero control to be accurate to millimeters, allowing for any difficult movement.
He stood up. Zero had gotten up early enough, but Semitic outside the window had already begun working hard for the next day.
He watched as the women of Shinzhe and half a year old walked towards the source of life carrying a rough wooden bucket. Under the watch of the guards, each of them took a bucket of water from the pond and returned to their homes. Zero noticed that almost all of the barrels were the same size, and it seemed that the capacity of the barrels had been unified, which ensured that everyone received almost the same amount of water.
The man carried a wooden spear in his hand and carried a bow and arrow, looking like he was about to go out to hunt.
"Most of the tribe's food comes from the metamorph in the mountains, but even the least dangerous sawtooth rabbit would not be able to catch much every day." At some point, the Prophet had come up behind Zero. Gunter looked out of the window at the Shinzhe men who were all ready to leave and said: "Usually, Taelice will participate in the hunt, so there will always be more of her in the hunt. But today, about half of us are hungry. "
He took a glance at Wu Zhangkong and pointed out.
Su Mo silently took out 100 yuan and placed it on the table, then said, "This amount of money is enough for you to buy the food you need to go to Phoenix City for one day."
Gunter laughed out loud: "You're mistaken, I'm not asking for your money. Even if they did, the people of the Shinzhe wouldn't be used to eating artificial food. What I want you to know is that there's a price for everything. Zero, when you do anything, you might want to consider whether you can afford it. "Do not do things that you cannot afford to do, or you will regret it one day."
Zero chose silence.
He didn't tell Gunter that he was headed for the Parkland, but just as Gunter had said, the Blue Ridge Mountain Range was a watershed. Whether it was for the Parkland or for others, the Prophet did not think highly of it. That was why Gunter reminded him if he could afford the price. However, Gunter did not know, that there was no path of retreat for Zero.
If he did not take revenge on the Parkland, and instead squeezed out a certain amount of resources as the starting fund for his rebirth plan, with just a simple mission, how long would it take for Zero to earn that money?
Gunter had found the pure land in his heart and left it on the Death Ridge. In a sense, the two's insistence did not have any intrinsic difference.
The only difference was that they each walked a different path.
Looking at the entire world, there was no one who walked the same path as him. In this abyss like world, there was only one person walking alone. No one knew where the destination would be.
(I have a message for the book review about the rec
ent events of the day, but in response to a question from one of my friends, I'll reply here.) Actually, there were manuscripts stored every day. It was just that the time when the book was distributed was too fast, and now the word count and click were not very balanced. Thus, he had to slow down his pace and pull, after all, it was related to certain recommended standards. Therefore, I beg everyone here, please allow me to change the topic one day at a time. I also want to explode, I can't bear it anymore ~ ~)
Chapter 131 - Smoke
Zero had to admit how beautiful that beautiful figure was when she was shuttling back and forth between the mutated plants. Taelice's movements were light and nimble, with a hint of dancing. She jumped, as if the heart in the world was pulling everyone's gazes.
From her soft, boneless hands, to her shockingly curved waist, and then to her long, firm legs. In Taelice's movements, a rhythmic beauty appeared in her limbs, and it was almost impossible for her to shift her gaze away from that graceful figure.
Just this morning, Gunter had asked the patriarch of the Shinzhe to take the two of them away from the Death Canyon in order to save more time to travel through the Death Ridge. Originally, Taelice was unwilling to do so, because she and many Semitic s here had a natural hostility against outsiders like Zero. However, just like the other clansmen, Taelice only had the most noble respect for Gunter, who had almost changed the fate of Shinzhe.
Since the request was made by Gunter, no matter if it was the Patriarch or Taelice, they couldn't give Gunter any face. That was why the black girl was unwillingly bringing Zero along on the journey. Seemingly to vent his anger, Taelice brought the two of them to the dangerous mutated plants. Fortunately, before they left, Gunter gave them some powder.
This unremarkable powder could cover up the smell of and Zero. This made the majority of the mutated plants in the Death Ridge view them as just ordinary trees. However, this kind of powder was useless against metamorph. This was also the reason why the two Semitic s were able to find the zero point after passing through the forest last night.
