Chapter 203: 106. The disaster is not over
Translator: 549690339
Noland Lee was working on his persona while not forgetting to get down to business.
After coughing for a while, he got up from the ground and ran to help Mark and the others gather the spoils of war.
Seeing that he had recovered well, Mark handed him the task of tidying up the ammunition bags.
Taking this opportunity, Noland lee collected all the soul fragments on the corpses.
[Soul Strength +0.2]
[Soul Strength +0.2]
Noland Lee glanced at the system message and nodded secretly.
In terms of soul strength, ordinary people of the Golden Federation and the Tatis Empire are exactly the same.
When they are alive, they have exactly 1 point of soul strength.
After death, the soul fragments left behind account for 0.2 points of soul strength.
Noland Lee found this phenomenon quite interesting.
First of all, the panels of the local people in the Golden Federation are very different from those of the people of the Empire.
The “Tenacity” attribute of the empire people is generally higher, while the “Spirit” is lower.
Inside the Golden Federation, the atmosphere of alchemy for all people is strong, and there are very few illiterate people.
The local people’s “Spirit” attribute has a higher average value, reaching 10 points, which is twice the average level of the Empire people.
Logically speaking, with higher “Spirit,” soul strength should also increase somewhat, right?
So why is the soul strength of the federation people also 1 point?
Noland Lee could not find the answer, so he could only regard soul strength as a unique attribute independent of basic attributes.
It is worth mentioning that there were no soul fragments on the wolfhounds of the Ferocious Hound Gang.
When Noland Lee returned to the motorcycle with his ammunition bag, he passed by the fallen wolfhounds but did not collect any soul fragments from them.
He had used the gun to blow the wolfhound’s head earlier, and had already deconstructed the wolfhound once using passive deconstruction.
Looking at the panel attributes of the wolfhounds, Noland Lee found the problem.
Wolfhounds, animals with a certain degree of intelligence and aggression, do not have the attribute of “Soul Strength”.
On their panel, there are only two basic attributes: “Tenacity” and “Agility,” plus several passive skills.
There is no “Spirit” attribute, no “knowledge” entry, and no “memory” entry.
After ruling out the relationship between the “Spirit” attribute and soul strength, Noland Lee deduced a preliminary conclusion:
Only living beings who possess both “knowledge” and “memory” entries can have soul strength.
Inversely, this sentence seems to hold true, that is, the living being has soul strength, it will possess “knowledge” and “memory.”
Noland Lee wondered if this conclusion was correct…
“Everyone, gather and get ready to leave.”
Kent’s voice pulled Noland Lee out of his reverie.
Noland Lee suppressed his mixed thoughts and quickly tidied up the ammunition bag and secured it to the motorcycle with a rope.
The Iron Thorn Shield Security Firm had just won the battle, with 5 dead and more than ten injured. They captured 12 four-wheeled motorcycles, guns and ammunition, cash, and some food.
The scavengers of the Ferocious Hound Gang were defeated, with 26 killed and the only Extraordinary injured and fled.
The scavenger team had less than half the number of the Iron Thorn Shield security team.
The werewolf, an Extraordinary within the team, was good at movement and assassination, not a combat-capable alchemist.
It was clear that the Ferocious Hound Gang had made an attempt to win big with a small team.
If the werewolf could kidnap Fars Scott, that would be great.
If they couldn’t, at least they would have tested the strength of the security team.
Perhaps, there were members of the Ferocious Hound Gang waiting in ambush up ahead.
Based on this consideration, Kent decided not to follow the usual route, but to use an alternative route that was unknown to outsiders.
He asked the team members to turn off the vehicle lights, slow down a bit, and move silently under the cover of darkness.
Mark was in charge of controlling the motorcycle, and Noland Lee sat behind, watching over the spoils.
In areas far away from the city, there is very little light pollution.
As the team turned off their vehicle lights, the starry sky above became clearer.
Noland Lee raised his chin, looked up at the sky, and stared at the stars of this world.
In his perception, the starry sky should have numerous tiny stars.
But here, in the calm and deep black background, most of the stars were faint and hazy, with only a few starlights being clear and bright.
Moreover, these brighter stars seemed to be much larger than the other stars.
Some stars were as pale as bones, while others were surrounded by colorful storms. There were also some that had a dark red color, similar to bloodstains.
The strangest thing was the moon.
It was a shattered bright celestial body.
If the moon of the previous world was the size of a chicken egg, then the moon of this world was as big as a basketball, seeming close to the ground and creating a sense of oppression.
Its surface was silvery white, with a hideous crack near the equator.
This crack spanned the entire celestial body, as if the moon had been eviscerated.
Innumerable fragments flowed out of the crack, surrounding the moon to form a “silver belt” like a halo.
Compared to this “eviscerated” moon, the bright stars with different colors of light seemed much more normal.
Noland Lee tried to apply his deconstruction technique to these celestial bodies.
The system feedbacks he received were similar.
[System Message: You are attempting to deconstruct the “moon”. An estimated 36 billion energy points will be consumed to achieve 100% deconstruction result.]
[System Message: You are attempting to deconstruct the “star surrounded by a colorful storm.” An estimated 9 billion energy points will be consumed to achieve 100% deconstruction result..]
