It's night. There's no one in the town. The night in the wilderness is cold. Even if it is hot enough to bake off a layer of skin during the day, it will be cold enough to make your soul tremble at night. Extreme cold and heat test all creatures on the planet, and human beings are obviously no better than other creatures in adaptability.
Especially in such a desolate town, let alone the magnetic energy shield like Yongye City, they don't even have the radiation purification system like Nu reef city. In this cruel age, poverty means struggling on the death line.
The convenience store in the gas station was brightly lit, and the shelves of few commodities were moved to both sides. There was a rickety table in the empty space. There is a simple electric stove on the table, on which is boiling hot broth. Not many families in the town can afford electricity, and the only old generator in the town is facing the dilemma of starting without gasoline.
Therefore, the residents of the town are very thrifty in electricity inspection. Old Peter was able to fill up the lights and use the electric stove in such a luxurious place because he had a private generator.
The broth on the stove was cooked. Old Peter brought two dirty bowls and took a bowl of broth for himself and Kim.
Kim drank broth. In fact, such things are not delicious. The meat was taken from the mutant lizard outside the town, and only the muscles of its hind limbs. Lizard meat is bitter, and because it contains trace toxins, its tongue will numb while drinking broth.
But Jin drank it all, not for anything else, because such broth was a rare delicacy in his childhood.
"I heard that you have become a capable person? It's amazing, Xiao Jin. He used to be such a crying slug." old Peter drank a mouthful of broth, gestured with his hand, and then laughed.
Kim wiped his nose with his finger and said, "it's not as simple as a capable person. Now I'm a land conqueror."
"Conquer what? The earth?" old Peter gave Jin a brain millet and said, "what nonsense, but also conquer the earth, you little devil with no hair."
Kim looked at the old man with a wry smile and didn't bother to explain to him that the earth conqueror was a high-level profession proficient in the earth series of the element domain. With the power to control the earth, a "dust storm" or "crustal vibration" can make the town history as long as he is willing.
He is different from Kim two years ago, but the town is still a small town, and old Peter is still old Peter. So Kim giggled and became the silly boy who didn't know anything two years ago.
"By the way, Peter, how's my mother?" Kim asked suddenly.
After old Peter rolled the last drop of gravy in the bowl into his mouth with his tongue, he said, "your mother flora, she has gone with someone. Shortly after you left, she left with an adventurous businessman passing through town."
"She'll be fine," Kim said, lowering his head.
Old Peter shrugged his shoulders and said, "who knows, I heard that the adventurous businessman has several women. How are you? Anyway, your mother should be hungry with him."
"Well, that's good." Kim's head fell lower, but he didn't want old Peter to see the liquid rolling in his eyes.
Then they talked about the trivial affairs of the town. At nine o'clock, old Peter packed his things and said to Kim, "are you going to stay this time?"
"No, just stay for a day or two."
Old Peter said, "that's right. You can't stay in such a small town. It's getting late. Go to bed early. The warehouse room is still empty. I'll send you a quilt later."
Kim nodded. In fact, with his ability, he would be fine even if he lay naked on the ground, but he was still very grateful to old Peter for his concern.
The warehouse is behind the convenience store. It is a small room of more than ten square meters. Kim remembers that there used to be a pile of expired food and water here, but now it's much empty. He doesn't know whether those things are sold or thrown away because they can't be eaten. But for here, Kim has a special emotion. When he was young, every time he was beaten and scolded by his mother, he would escape to old Peter's warehouse.
This is his little shelter.
Kim found a clean corner and lay on the ground. Not long after, old Peter came. He threw a patched quilt to Kim and added a pillow. Kim knew it was the old man's only pillow, so he refused, but he was forced into his arms by the old man's smelly face.
When the old man left, Kim felt warm in his heart.
At this time, the chest vibrated slightly, and Jin took out a pocket smart brain from the pocket of the camouflage chest. It looks like an old smart phone, but it has much more functions than a mobile phone. At this time, the icon for requesting communication flashes on the intelligent brain's screen. Gold clicks it and puts the intelligent brain on the ground.
The screen of the intelligent brain emits a beam of light, in which an image is gradually formed. It was a man, but the image only came to the man's waist. The upper body was integrated with the darkness of the warehouse, with a mysterious smell.
An apparently processed voice sounded, "how's things going, Kim."
Jin ban knelt on the ground and replied respectfully, "as adults expected, those with ability below level 6 are no longer their opponents. Compared with before the expedition, they have made great progress, especially zero. I think he has advanced to the level of shadow wanderer."
"You have reached the rank. It seems that your judgment is correct, otherwise you won't be hurt." the voice said faintly.
Kim looked at his injured arm and subconsciously moved it back.
"Since the killers in the wilderness can't help them, send our people out next time. Kim, you should also be eager for this level of confrontation."
Jin lowered his head and said, "everything I have is given by adults. As long as it is an enemy of adults, even if I fight for this life, I will pull each other to hell."
"It's not good to get up so fast. It can only show that you are afraid of their power."
Kim did not answer and acquiesced to this fact. A moment later, he asked, "but there's one thing I don't understand. Sir, zero is a soldier of asgat like us. Why!"
"You're wrong, Kim. You're my soldier, and zero is sol's. you can't be defined as' the same 'regardless of your status or position." the voice said again: "besides, you just need to carry out my orders, there's no need to ask so many questions. Or do you question my decision?"
"No, I dare not!" Jin like lowered his head, and beads of sweat rolled down from the tip of his nose.
"Don't be afraid, I won't blame you." the voice from the image said: "In fact, it doesn't hurt to tell you that zero is one of the 13 gods created by the old era. That absurd plan is fundamentally wrong, and Ben still indulges such people to grow. In the final analysis, zero itself is not asgat's person. If his power grows to a certain height, it is definitely a threat to asgat. So you see, what I do is to clean up for asgat Unnecessary hidden dangers, but Ben will never admit my practice, so I can only eliminate zero in the dark. "
"I know, sir. If necessary, subordinates can do it for adults immediately."
"No, only your words are not sure of victory. I don't want to lose a strong soldier. Wait, and soon, other strong helpers will come. Don't do anything until then."
The image flickered and gradually disappeared. Before it completely disappeared, the voice finally said, "come back as soon as possible. Before fighting, you still need to improve your strength."
"Yes, sir."
When the image disappeared, Kim stood up and picked up his brain. He sighed in a low voice, thinking that the holiday seemed impossible.
