"In fact, our ancestors couldn't be considered a separate race at all in the first place."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Lei Li, who was in charge of translating, was confused.
Because it really doesn’t translate well.
After communicating with Li Yi for a while, I finally conveyed the general meaning.
"You mean you were also...normal people in the beginning?"
Li Yi speculated for a while and then understood what the patriarch meant.
To be honest, this was not unexpected.
After all, the best proof is the sea outside.
He has only been in the sea twice, and the pollution level has skyrocketed!
This is just because this is just a game character.
If it were a real person, he really wouldn't have any good ideas.
If it is true, as he suspected, that these blackened people were originally normal people and were caused by long-term pollution, and if this radiation pollution still exists after giving birth to offspring, then the timeline will be very long. .
"Yes, you heard it right. Of course, I am also paraphrasing the previous clan leader's dictation. You may not know that, in fact, I am already the forty-seventh clan leader, and our black clan is in this world composed of underground caves. , and it has been more than six hundred years."
"It was only in the past few decades that we gradually dared to go to the ground and found that the pollution was far less serious than we thought before, so the ground patrol team was born."
"That's the Sanxi and others you met for the first time."
"If you had been decades earlier, you probably wouldn't have seen any living people."
In fact, even if I saw it, I probably wouldn't see it.
Although these words in my heart may sound a bit unclear, they are indeed Li Yi's true feelings.
If Sanxi and the others didn't show up, it would be really hard for him to even see his shadow.
The skills of these black people are really sharp! Um? Wait, why did he say decades earlier?
"By saying that, Patriarch, have you guessed something about my origin?"
Li Yi stared intently at the old patriarch who looked extremely vicissitudes of life, while Lei Li, who was translating his words, was obviously surprised and confused, as if he was wondering what this sentence meant.
"Haha... It seems that we still have a good understanding. Maybe we are of the same generation!"
This sounds like a joke, after all, no matter how you look at it, it is unlikely that the two people are of the same era.
It's almost the same as people from the same century.
Only Li Yi understood the meaning of the other party's words, which also made him feel a little relieved.
Although for some reasons, he could not directly reveal the purpose of the mission, but if the other party guessed it himself, then you can't blame him, right?
Moreover, the other party had a tacit understanding, and the two of them chose to use code words tacitly, so that even though it was Rayleigh who was translating, he could understand what the two of them said, but they still looked confused and confused. .
Looking at it like that makes people feel funny.
"Haha, that's indeed possible. So about that pollution... what kind of disaster can make the sea become like this?"
Li Yi asked curiously.
As far as he knows, pollutants that can quickly pollute the sea in a short period of time and cannot be removed for a long period of time are most likely related to nuclear pollution.
As to whether it was a nuclear war or something else, that is unknown.
So he looked at the old man in front of him, hoping that the other person could give him a definite answer.
He probably didn't expect that, just to understand the background of this spiritual world, he already had a rough idea.
This is a wasteland world after nuclear contamination!
But what is different from ordinary wasteland world games is that his birthplace is not on land, but on a large island.
The black people who live in underground caves on this island are not aggressive at present and should not be in the enemy's camp.
So according to the usual game logic, he completes tasks by helping a camp that is probably in a neutral position, increases his favorability, and then gets rewards... that's probably what happened.
If that's really the case, that's not bad, at least you don't have to worry about survival.
But he ignored another issue.
That is, the average strength of this clan is very high. What tasks are there that a warrior like him needs to complete?
"I heard that you have gone into the sea twice before this?"
The old patriarch's sudden question made Li Yi, who had been immersed in his own thoughts, unable to react. Only after Lei Li called him several times did he finally wake up.
"Yes, you probably don't know that when I saw such an isolated island, the first thing that came to my mind was the issue of survival. There was nothing on the island, so I had no choice but to go to the sea to look for it. No matter what, there is hope for survival. Well!"
Li Yi deliberately made the situation miserable.
It’s not that you want to win the other person’s sympathy, it’s not necessary.
He just wanted to explain a little bit.
After all, the other party took nuclear contamination so seriously that they all moved underground to avoid it. It was really unreasonable for a person like me, who had taken two baths in nuclear-contaminated seawater, to run naked to someone else's territory.
Unexpectedly, the patriarch looked into his eyes and shook his head.
"You're wrong. I don't want to blame you. Our family is not as afraid of nuclear contamination as you imagine, but..."
"But what?" Li Yi asked curiously.
This time the old patriarch did not answer directly, but gestured to Lei Li with his eyes. The other party understood and went out.
After a while, Rayleigh came back again and saluted the clan leader respectfully.
"I'm pretty sure no one is around to hear it."
Li Yi couldn't help but be surprised that he could even tell the riddle that he was once a normal person. What else could he not tell in public?
He suddenly became curious.
"Actually, there is something I want to ask you for help with..."
Li Yi thought to himself that indeed, this is how the plot of the game develops.
In many games, there will be such a help link when completing tasks to open up camp reputation. Generally speaking, it is a continuous task. Although the reward income may be very low at the beginning, if the entire series is completed.
The rewards will be extremely numerous and abundant.
He had already begun to look forward to it.
When he thought of the previous background explanations about pollution and exploration, he couldn't help but feel filled with hope.
Will there be some extraordinary power that can be directly obtained?
Thinking of the host composed of people in this game world, that is, the underwater king, he is actually a carrier of radiation energy after being born from pollution.
To be honest, Li Yi was not surprised at all that there would be such a plot related to nuclear radiation.
I even feel that this is the only way to be reasonable.
Although this multi-game world built by the host's spiritual power is mainly built from the Book of Strangeness, the materials used essentially belong to the spiritual world of the Undersea King.
In other words, the "bricks" that build this game world are still the spiritual world of the Undersea King that has been polluted by his heart.
It is already very difficult for a carrier to survive.
While the other party took advantage of his desire to survive, he also turned him into a monster.
Not only that, but you also need to shout at the other person to be grateful and surrender to yourself at the same time.
How vicious can be described!
The topic has gone too far...
"What exactly is it that... needs my help for?"
After a pause, Li Yi continued to express his doubts.
"You have these guards, no, even if they are just patrol members, every one of them is better than me in skill. I don't think there is anything I can do that you can't do."
When he said this, Li Yi had no intention of declining.
He simply asked.
However, the other party still misunderstood.
"If you find it difficult, you may consider not accepting it, but now that I have said it here, old man, I will go out of my way to say it without such an old face. I hope you don't think that I don't want my tribe to sacrifice and I am looking for you to be cannon fodder. "
"Well, I don't think so, just say it boldly!"
Li Yi nodded, appearing very calm on the surface.
But in fact it was impatient.
You should tell me quickly!
I still have 97% pollution left to spend. At least until the pollution reaches 100%, the characters in the game should not die!
