Even though he had evacuated far ahead of time, Liao Ji could still feel the faint tremor of the ground beneath his feet. Looking far away in the direction he came from, he could vaguely see a huge blood-red tornado raging across the ground.
Outside the storm, the reddish gusts of wind that leaked the residue blew in the wilderness. The slightest touch on the skin immediately caused a burning and stinging sensation. Many villagers in Kano Village behind Liao Ji couldn't help but try to remove the tattered clothes on their bodies. Clothes, wrap them tighter.
Now the faces of the villagers were filled with a sense of joy for escaping from death, and they all looked at the natural disaster in the distance with Liao Ji with extremely frightened eyes.
The original Kano Village was obviously also within the scope of the natural disaster. If the young man had not informed them in advance and asked them to abandon the village and flee, the villagers would have trembled at the thought of being caught in that terrifying blood-red tornado.
Natural disaster can be regarded as an old friend of Liao Ji in "The Fall".
How many gathering places have been like Kano Village, where they have withstood the evil monsters and repelled the invading scavengers. However, the last ruthless natural disaster seemed to be a mockery of useless efforts, leaving the players helpless. He looked at the infrastructure he had worked so hard to build and the contractors he had put so much effort into cultivating. They were all destroyed by natural disasters, completely annihilated, and finally turned into a "GAME OVER" icon, leaving the screen. Angry players outside.
It's no wonder that "The Fall" died violently soon after its release. Such a setting of abusing players and character development is enough to persuade most normal people to quit.
Fortunately, later on, some veteran players like Liao Ji who persisted finally figured out some of the patterns and signs of natural disasters and wrote them into strategy manuals. Similar tragedies were more or less avoided, but there are still a small number of natural disasters. , there are no rules at all, and they may suddenly appear at any time and anywhere. Players can only consider themselves unlucky when encountering such a thing. At most, they can greet the relatives of the producer, but what if they are people in the game world?
Liao Ji shook his head and looked away from the direction of the blood-red tornado.
Fortunately, there was an early warning for this natural disaster. Liao Ji had been vaguely aware of the abnormal movements of the ant-crawling beast before. Otherwise, his dream trip to No. 0 might have ended early.
This is why Liao Ji didn't take care of the escaping scavengers. If they realized the truth and never came back, they would have lost their lives. And if they still brought people back to Kano Village,
Then they only have themselves to blame.
Continuing on the road, Liao Ji's goal is very clear, which is to move towards the final BOSS in this area, the "Witch", one of the five great evil kings.
Even though Liao Ji wanted to challenge the witch, the villagers of Kano Village would continue to follow Liao Ji no matter what. No matter what Liao Ji tried to persuade them, it was of no use.
After the "natural disaster" incident, the villagers became more convinced of Liao Ji's identity as the "prophetic person". After all, only the "savior" could avoid natural disasters so accurately.
In addition, in addition to being absolutely safe by Liao Ji's side, some villagers can't help but also have selfish motives. They are now following the prophecy. When Liao Ji really becomes the savior, they, the first group of people, will not If anything else, at least you can get a good reputation and have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life, right?
As the troops advanced, perhaps due to natural disasters, there were far fewer Zhuohe monsters in the wilderness. Except for a few scattered monsters that they encountered by chance and were directly dealt with by Liao Ji, they did not encounter any groups of them again. .
When he finally reached the outside of the red circle marking the "Witch" area on the map, Liao Ji was forced to stop again, but this time it wasn't because of the monster.
Rather
I saw a little girl blocking the road ahead.
In the past, the villagers relied on Liao Ji for help when dealing with the evil monsters. But this time they saw someone wearing the same rags as them, who was obviously a refugee, blocking the way. This time, the villagers volunteered and rushed forward. Come and help Liao Ji solve it.
"Hey, get up and drive! Do you know what we are going to do? Don't delay our savior!"
Some villagers looked at the little girl with ferocious expressions and kept waving their hands to drive her away. After all, they had seen many people like this. They had probably lost their gathering place and could only beg and sell miserably to passers-by in the wilderness.
But this time, they appear to be wrong.
"Yes, I'm sorry! I just wanted to ask, have you seen my parents?" The little girl was scolded by the villagers. She clenched the corners of her skirt with her hands in fear, but she gritted her teeth and mustered up the courage to ask. .
Then the little girl quickly pointed out the features and body shapes of her parents under the impatient eyes of the villagers.
The villagers were about to refuse, but the little girl's next words made them choke again.
because
"We were attacked. My parents left all their things to me and told me to leave first. They would catch up soon. But I have been waiting here for a long time. Why haven't they come yet?"
The little girl just narrated what happened, but the villagers' focus was suddenly on the "things".
Some villagers immediately said that the girl should first take out the things left by her parents and let them take a look. Maybe these things can help the little girl find her parents better.
When she heard that the villagers were willing to help her, the little girl was very excited and grateful. She quickly took out a small package from her arms, opened it in front of the villagers, and found a pile of thick bills inside. Printed with a pattern like angel wings.
"This is food stamps from the Salvation Society!"
"As long as you take this, you can exchange food with the people from the Salvation Society!"
"Who are this girl's parents? How could they save so many food stamps? This is enough for us to eat for several days."
"She got lost with her parents. It's too dangerous for one person to hold such a precious thing. We have to help her collect it."
"Yes, yes! Let's keep it for her first, let her follow us, and then change it back after we find her parents."
"No, I think it's better to let her stay here, right? The place we are going to is very dangerous. We can wait until we find her parents along the way and then bring her parents over to find her."
"What you said makes sense, so be it."
After the villagers whispered for a while, they seemed to have made a decision for the little girl. They told the little girl to hand over the food stamps in her hands to them, and then they would take these as rewards and tokens. After finding the little girl's parents, they immediately sent the little girl back.
Faced with the villagers who were looking at her, or to be precise, at the food stamps wrapped in her hands, the little girl handed over the package left to her by her parents to the villagers with great trust, and kept thanking the villagers. We are willing to risk finding her parents for her.
"Then I. I will stay here. Mom and Dad will leave it to you. Thank you. I really appreciate it. Sure enough, what my parents said is right. There are many good people in this world, and everyone is a good person."
The little girl blocking the road made way for the villagers. The villagers were a little dodged by the little girl's sincere and hopeful eyes, and were about to leave quickly and report to Liao Ji that the problem had been solved.
As soon as the villagers turned their heads, they were startled, especially the few villagers who had divided the little girl's food stamps among themselves. They were so frightened that the packages in their hands fell to the ground.
Because the man of their prophecy, the savior, unexpectedly came here without knowing when, and from the looks of it, it seemed that he had been here a long time ago and had been staring at them for a long time.
