Chapter 124
"Find a way to survive in a harsh environment, and find a way to survive in a desperate situation......"
Looking at the humans who were cautiously approaching the wasteland below, Sixteen Nights narrowed his purple eyes and muttered to himself.
Human beings are undoubtedly fragile and insignificant.
Trying to survive in this chaotic world is simply impossible to achieve with the 'strength' of human beings. As long as it was a stronger race, the aftermath of the battle between them alone could take away thousands of humans.
But why was such a 'weak' human being able to survive until the end of the 'Great War'?
"Hey...... It's an interesting mystery. "
Sixteen Nights looked at the three figures below with an expressionless face, although he was not a 'human' in this world, but in essence, he was also a human.
"Five-three-seven" But why can they survive without 'strong' strength?
With an interested expression and the idea of gathering information, Sixteen Nights jumped and chased after several people.
Each of the three humans wore dust masks that covered their entire heads and a set of heavy fur armor. These things, in addition to resisting the cold at the moment, also protect the flesh from being touched by black ash.
The black ash sprinkled from the air, emitting a turquoise light, is called 'Spirit Remains'.
"Corpses."
For the vast majority of living things, including humans, it is deadly and highly toxic.
It shines with a turquoise light, but it is also called "black ash" because it also symbolizes death.
Just one touch will burn your skin. If you get into your eyes, you lose sight. If you get it in your mouth, even the internal organs will be dissolved.
Even if their whole body is covered, they still have to be careful that the "black ash" contaminates themselves.
The three humans, though wearing dust-proof masks on their heads, make it impossible to see their faces. But even then, their age can be clearly analyzed.
The human at the end was a middle-aged uncle, as if he was very reluctant to carry his heavy body all the way.
And walking in the middle and slowly following the figure in front of him was a young man.
Walking in front of the two, he was cautiously looking around, and the existence that seemed to be the 'leader' was actually a boy a few years younger than Sixteen Nights.
"Is the leader of mankind a teenager?"
Sixteen Nights, who were far behind the three of them, walked slowly with their hands in their trouser pockets. And after realizing the youngest boy, he did not hide the surprise and amusement on his face.
The boy's expression, hidden behind the mask and windshields, was not peeped into.
Only through windshields...... I saw pupils that looked like an abyss and couldn't reflect anything.
"Hoo ......"
The boy suddenly stopped and exhaled deeply. Seeing that the "leader" suddenly stopped, the two people who followed him quickly stopped their steps.
"Riku, how's it going? Are you there?"
The middle-aged uncle, who walked at the end, came to the young man named "Ku" and asked.
"Hmm. "
Riku replied with a blank face and a very succinct nod.
"Arey, you go and check the surrounding situation first, and if you find anything, come back and report it immediately. "
Immediately after, Riku glanced at the young man beside him and commanded in the mouth of a leader's command.
"Yes. "
The young man's answer was also very simple, and after nodding, he did not question the young man's orders in the slightest, as if he had an attitude of absolute obedience to Riku.
"Ivan, take a break. When Arley returns, we'll go down and start the operation. Riku said lightly.
......As soon as Liku's words fell, the middle-aged man named Ivan squatted down as if he had long been exhausted, but his nerves did not relax in the slightest, because even if they were resting, they needed to be on guard at all times.
"Is that what we're aiming for this time?" said Ivan softly, looking down the hill and at the towering steel mountain in the crater.
It was the wreckage of a steel ship made by goblins for aerial combat. And just a few weeks ago, the remnants of the war that took place in this region like a "skirmish" that shattered the sky.
And their goal this time is really to find the 'resources' available to them in the wreckage of that battleship.
"......." Ivan withdrew his gaze and glanced at his 'leader', as if he wanted to say something. But when he found that Riku was engrossed in staring at the wreckage of the battleship below, thinking about something, he wisely withdrew his words and did not bother... 0
"Heartless...... Is it?"
Standing behind and observing the young man's sixteenth night, he whispered to himself. This boy named 'Riku' even closed his heart, suppressed all his feelings, and left only absolute reason, as if he had locked his heart.
This kind of person can be called 'heartless'.
But why the boy closed his heart, Sixteen Nights can know even if he doesn't have to think about it.
- In order to be able to live, let the whole race survive.
"Oh no, Riku! Something seems to be approaching here!"
At this moment, the young man named 'Arrey', with a pale face and an anxious face, ran back.
"What?!"
Hearing his companion's return, Ivan exclaimed in surprise, and Riku's face suddenly turned ugly.
Bang......
Almost at the same moment, the ground shook suddenly.
Riku quickly pulled a knife out of his glove and cut the tip of his index finger without hesitation. Then, the bare nerve was pressed to the ground, and the information from the ground passed through the fingertips, through the other hand, into the ear.
With just this level of vibration and the rhythm of the sound, Riku immediately analyzed the information and race of the other party, and then Riku used gestures to express the information he had analyzed.
A race that is very heavy and very sluggish to walk on foot.
Height, about 20 meters. It is three times the size of a human body of 3.2.
Looking at the message expressed by Riku, as if thinking of the true face of that race, Ivan's back was full of cold sweat.
Immediately after, there was a crashing roar in his ears, and the surroundings began to shake violently.
"Damn! is it a demon seed?!!!
"Don't panic, while there's still time, let's evacuate quickly!" Riku also had cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly commanded the two.
Then, the three of them immediately went into action
And yet—
"Oh, so soon, is it Uncle Ben's turn to appear?"
Looking at the large creature that suddenly appeared behind the three of them, the corners of Sixteen Nights' mouth were slightly hooked playfully.
PS: I like the character of Riku, if he is not crippled, he should be the only god. _
