Chapter 157 Noah's World

"Flutter..."

A huge raven fell from the sky and landed on a huge wooden construction machinery.

"?" The blond white man woke up first. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the surrounding environment in confusion.

When he saw the huge raven landing on the construction machinery, he was stunned for a moment, and then pushed the curly-haired man who was still sleeping beside him.

"Hey, wake up, don't sleep." The blond man whispered.

The curly-haired man was pushed awake, he raised his head in a daze and looked at the blond man: "What's wrong? What happened?"

The blond man pointed to the raven next to him: "What do you think that is?"

The curly-haired man looked in the direction he pointed and saw the huge raven.

He woke up immediately, with a vigilant look on his face: "What the hell is this?"

The blond man shook his head: "I don't know..."

The curly-haired man struggled to sit up and looked at the blond man: "Why did you fall asleep? Didn't we agree to keep watch?"

"Didn't you fall asleep too?" The blond man said unhappily.

"You say, should we run away?" the curly-haired man whispered.

"Run? Where can we run to? Our world... is completely gone." The blond man whispered.

"Damn... what should we do? Can we just wait to die?"

"Maybe..."

At this point, the two stopped talking, just leaning against the thick tree stump silently, silently looking at the blood moon in the sky.

The raven squatting on the construction machinery tilted its head and looked up at the sky along their gaze.

In the dark night sky, the blood moon hangs high, emitting a mysterious and strange red light.

Its red is deep and strong, as if it is soaked in blood.

The moonlight falls, dyeing the earth into a strange dark red, and all the scenery is slightly distorted under the reflection of this red light. At first glance, there is no feeling, but after looking for a long time, there is a vague sense of palpitations.

As if... something is going to happen.

However, after a long time, the blond man over there began to snore again, but nothing happened.

"Am I sensitive?" Raven muttered in a low voice.

"Ah!? I told you! I told you that something must be wrong with it!!" The curly-haired man got excited.

"..."

The blond man paused for a moment, and opened his eyes again.

"No, wait... were you really asleep just now?" Curly looked incredulous.

"No, I wasn't asleep, I just... the moonlight was so strange that it made my eyes dry, so I closed my eyes for a while..."

The blond man refused to admit it, "It looked like I was taking a nap, but I was actually very awake."

"..."

"So, what happened just now?" The blond man asked.

"... You fell asleep." Curly said for sure.

The blond man: "..."

"That crow, it can talk... I just heard it talking." Curly stopped dwelling on the issue.

"Hello?" The blond man whistled at Raven in disbelief.

"..."

Xiao Jian looked at him as if he were a fool.

"Hey, you're despised by this bird!" Curly said gloatingly.

"...Good little bird, good little bird, can you help me get the key?" The blond man said inducingly.

Xiao Jian took a look at the metal collar on his neck, which did have a keyhole.

But this is not a simple collar, but a relic with attributes:

[Slave collar of the Dragon Skull Clan]

Durability: 10/10

Although it is a relic, it has no special attributes, only durability.

"Do you know where the key is?" Xiao Jian's voice became a little weird when it was spoken through the raven's throat.

Low, hoarse, and with a strange, echo-like sense of space.

"It really can talk!" The blond man said excitedly.

"Is this the point?" Curly sighed helplessly, facing the raven and said sincerely, "Hello, powerful... natural elf, can you help us?"

"That depends on what value you have." Xiao Jian's voice came out of the raven's mouth again.

"I..." The curly-haired man frowned slightly, "I had some property, but now..."

"Our world is destroyed." The blond man sighed.

"..."

At this point, the two stopped talking, frowning and racking their brains to think about what value they still have.

"So, what happened?" Xiao Jian asked seemingly unintentionally, but in fact, this is the question he cares about most.

The human slaves who suddenly appeared in the fragments of the strange world, and the "destruction of the world" they said, all gave Xiao Jian a bad association.

"There's nothing to say..." The curly-haired man couldn't help showing a trace of fear on his face, and seemed very resistant to mentioning that experience.

"That's a long story..." The blond licked his lips.

"The night is still long." Xiao Jian's low and hoarse throat sounded.

"Yes, the night is still long." The blond paused slightly, and then slowly told their experience.

"That day, we were salvaging in the shallow layer of the fog. You know, good things will float out of the fog from time to time... Someone just salvaged a tattered sword a few days ago, and ended up selling it for 300 bottle caps!"

"By the way, a bottle cap is a kind of coin. Because it is relatively simple and looks like a bottle cap, that's why we call it a bottle cap."

"Based on the price over there, 10 bottle caps can be exchanged for 6 donuts..."

As he spoke, the blond man suddenly stopped moving, as if he was caught up in some beautiful memories.

"...Hey, I always felt that life was too hard at that time. But now, we can't even eat donuts... Those damn greens want to starve us to death!"

The blond cursed under his breath.

"Damn greenskin..." Curly Hair also said beside him.

It seems that the two have reached a unanimous consensus on this issue.

The subsequent narration became even more intermittent, and there was a wave of memories from time to time. It was incoherent and unorganized, as if it was just casually pouring out the pressure in the heart.

Xiao Jian also listened patiently, and even when the two had an argument over trivial matters, he still did not interrupt their conversation.

Although the information density was low, for Xiao Jian, such chaotic and idle conversations gave him a deeper understanding of the fragments of the world where the two strong men lived.

They called the fragments of their world Noah.

According to the messy conversation between the two, it is unclear when this "Noah" was separated by the fog, but it has been drifting in the fog for at least two or three years!

Because the blond mentioned that a prostitute he was very interested in gave birth to a child. The child was already three years old and looked more and more like him.

From this we can know that the bar where the prostitute was located has been in operation for at least 3 years.

And the name of that bar is called Doomsday, which of course can also be translated as Judgment Day.

In short, in religious terms, it is the day when all mankind will be judged by God.

During the period of the apocalypse, "Noah's World" slowly formed a unique ecological system.

The first is class.

Yes... even after the end of the world, there are almost instinctively divided into completely different levels.

Among them, the top of the pyramid is of course the rich. They live in the center of Noah. They are not affected in any way even when monsters attack the city, and they do not even have to perform any combat obligations.

Then there is the middle class.

These people refer to the merchants, craftsmen or prostitutes on the periphery of the core area.

They have relatively high incomes and can afford expensive rents, thus occupying a relatively safe position when monsters attack the city.

Finally, of course, there are the poor people like blondes and curly hair.

Compared with the middle class who have a certain amount of savings, blond and curly haired people are typical people who stop talking and have to go deep into the fog to "salvage" every day.

This so-called "salvage" activity is somewhat similar to the behavior of going to N9339 next door to look for all the useful garbage in the world where the farm community is located.

It's just that the things "Salvaged" in "Noah's World" are not relatively complete world fragments, but all kinds of real garbage left behind with the rise and fall of the "Tide of Mist".

Sometimes they are various steel fragments, sometimes they are some strange plant fragments...

At this point, Xiao Jian still felt that these wreckage were somewhat similar to the remains of the "digested" world fragments in the fog.

However, in addition to these real garbage, they can also "salvage" monster corpses, complete armor or weapons, and some people have even picked up magic items from the mist.

Based on Jinfa's description, Xiao Jian could basically determine that this so-called "magic item" should be a relic.

Although it is not yet known what the food source of "Noah's World" is, at least their "industrial system" is completely supported by "salvagers" like the blond brawny man.

Continuous work day after day makes their bodies extremely strong... Some of them can even kill several monsters single-handedly when monsters attack the city!

Speaking of which, I have to mention the monsters in "Noah's World"... They are not zombies, but mainly in animal form.

And these monsters will not even turn into mist after death, but directly become corpses!

Although the blond didn't go into details, he just briefly talked about the trophies on the monsters... but it was obvious that the corpses of these monsters were likely to be the source of meat in "Noah's World".

After talking in bits and pieces for a long time, the blond finally got to the point of the matter.

That day, the fog "ebbed" as usual, and a large amount of garbage was often left in the "shoals" of the fog.

However, when their group of salvagers were preparing to start work, the entire "Noah's World" suddenly experienced a huge shaking, as if a giant sailing ship had hit an iceberg.

Next, a large number of green-skinned beasts (the name given to the blond man) poured out of the fog, killing a large number of salvagers in an instant.

The blond and curly-haired burly men, as well as the burly black man Xiao Jian saw before, were captured at this time...
