A magnetic energy vehicle is traveling on the highway of the Western Continent.
This is a continental highway connecting important fortresses in the Western Continent. In the past, this highway was always busy with traffic.
However, after the outbreak of the 'Black Tide', it has apparently become quiet.
There was not a single car to be seen on the road, but occasionally one could see a few solitary black civilians, or a small group of evil spirits passing quickly nearby.
Neither the evil spirits nor the black people had any intention of attacking the vehicle.
These things felt an undisguised, grand and huge aura on the magnetic energy vehicle, but not strong, and instead seemed profound.
Tianyang deliberately released his aura.
After using the 'Ultimate Stance' and beheading Genaros, he found that his aura had changed accordingly.
This change is getting more and more like the god himself, but Tianyang can't tell whether it is closer to the Avenger-level god or Zhuyin.
Possibly, both.
On the magnetic car, Qing Ming lay by the window, enjoying the wind caressing her face.
At this moment, there was no black fog above their heads. The sun was shining brightly, and the wind blowing in their faces was not only scorching hot, but also carried with it countless sands.
Ordinary people certainly can't stand this kind of blowing.
But to Qing Ming, the scorching airflow was like a spring breeze, and the sand in the wind hitting her face was almost like spring rain hitting her face.
some days ago.
After the Ares Castle finally used its city-level weapons, coupled with the activeness of the "black believers" in Lanhe, almost all the black people near the Ares Castle and even in the desert were cleared out.
Seeing that there would be no threat for the time being, Tianyang took Qingming out.
These days they drove to many places, and wherever they arrived, Qingming cleared the black fog over that area.
Different from the "gas bomb" of Cangqiongbao, Qingming's cleanup is permanent and actually clears the black fog in an area.
Thanks to her efforts, the black fog over the Western Continent has been reduced a lot, and many places have returned to their former state.
After losing the protection of the black fog, a large number of black people died every day, which allowed some settlements to become populated again.
Just like now.
At this moment, almost evening, Tianyang saw some smoke from cooking in the distance.
He turned the steering wheel, driving the magnetic car off the road, into the barren plain, and towards a settlement.
When he began to approach the settlement, Tianyang saw that it had been bombarded by artillery fire.
The traces of battle were everywhere.
I don’t know which fortress’s army had fought here. Deformed or damaged chariots can be seen everywhere, showing the trauma that the war brought to this place.
Soon, he arrived near the settlement.
In the settlement, most of the shacks were in a collapsed state. Looking out of the car window, Tianyang saw groups of men inside, cleaning up the ruins.
They have cleared a space.
There were many tents of various colors set up on the open space.
There were women and even children making fire and cooking outside the tent.
Tianyang's arrival alerted the people in the settlement, and a team of seven or eight people immediately walked out of the settlement.
The team was composed entirely of men, but the one walking in front, who seemed to be their captain, was a woman.
He looked to be in his thirties and was wearing a shabby baseball cap.
There were faint scars on her pretty face. She was biting on an unlit cigarette and holding a large black bow in her hand.
Tianyang noticed that there was a 'Hunter' class emblem on the back of her hand, and on it was a number: 5.
"Wait for me in the car."
After the Sunrise
Qing Ming behind him gave an order, then pushed the door and got out of the car.
He was not carrying any weapons.
In fact, he didn't need any weapons right now.
After getting off the car, Tianyang raised his hands to show that he was not a threat, and took the initiative to smile and said: "Hello, my sister and I are traveling."
"It's getting late, can we stay overnight?"
The team stopped, and the woman in the peaked cap looked at Tianyang and tried to ask: "Are you Ascendants?"
The basis for this judgment is that there were only two people in Tianyang's car and there were no weapons in the car.
Although the black fog suddenly dissipated in the past few days, many black people died.
But they dared to run around without any weapons and with only two people.
Or you're incredibly lucky.
Either you are a sublimator, and you will not be a weak person.
Tianyang nodded: "Yes, we are Ascendants. I am the Elemental Heart and my sister is the God of War. We are both Level 6."
Job Level 6 is already a middle to high level among the ascenders, and can often be called a strong person, but there is still a big gap between them and the heavenly level strong people.
If Tianyang said that the two of them were of low rank, the other party would definitely not believe it.
There was no need to say anything higher, so he lied and said his rank was 6.
Even so, the team members, including the captain, were all moved.
"Rank 6 is a big shot, you probably don't look down on this shabby place of ours." The captain had a headache because she was the one with the highest rank in the settlement.
If the two opponents were at level 6 and they really wanted to do something, the captain didn't think he could stop them.
Tianyang knew what they were afraid of, smiled, and walked to the trunk.
He opened it, took out a whole box of canned food and said, "I saw you have children here, I thought you might need food."
What the captain was worried about was that the two Level 6s would rob them of their few available foods.
But when I saw people just moving out a box of things, I immediately felt ashamed.
Her suspicions were gone at this moment, and she nodded: "Thank you."
"plz follow me."
She called two more people to move the box.
When the two men passed by, they found a box of food in the vehicle and exchanged glances.
But at the same time, they both shook their heads.
What's the difference between planning to target two Level 6s and seeking death
They suppressed their desire, picked up their boxes, and strode away.
Tianyang then waved to Qingming in the car, the door opened, and Qingming came out.
When the female captain saw Qingming appear outside the car and looked up at the sunset, the cigarette in her mouth accidentally fell to the ground.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew by, lifting the captain's cigarette.
The captain then came to his senses and believed that Tianyang was the 'Heart of Elements'.
Of course Tianyang would not tell her that the reason he could control the wind was because he possessed the essence of the 'Secret of Elements'.
Possessing this essence, he can be said to be the ancestor of the 'Heart of Elements'.
"My name is Noah, and as you can see, I'm the boss here."
The female captain took the cigarette and sighed quietly: "Your sister is really tall."
Tian Yang chuckled: "After all, he is a War God."
The woman who called herself "Noya" did not comment.
She doesn't think there is any direct connection between rank and height.
She led the way and introduced the situation of the settlement: "We were originally residents and soldiers of 'Lily of the Valley Castle'. I am a major. Unfortunately, our fortress was destroyed by the Black People. Only a very small number of people survived."
“That includes us.”
"Before the black fog dissipated, we traveled around, looking for a place to stay."
"In the beginning, we had several hundred people, but now there are less than 200 people left."
"And most of them are elderly people, women and children."
"As for men..."
Having said that, Noah did not continue.
Tianyang also knew where those men ended up.
In times of war, the first to sacrifice are often men.
Even so, no one backed down!
In the cleared square, the food brought by Tianyang has already begun to be distributed.
Men are the ones who get food first.
No one objected or complained about this.
After the men have taken their food, it is the women, children, and finally the elderly.
Also, not every elderly person can get a whole can.
They often need two people to enjoy one can.
Qing Ming, who was walking at the back, said in confusion: "They only eat one can of food, how can they fill their stomachs?"
Qing Ming took herself as an example. She had to eat at least ten cans of food for every meal before she felt a little satisfied.
Tian Yang said solemnly: "Because their contribution is limited, and they are even a burden to the team."
"Children can't help much either, but they will grow up and become men and women."
“So, elderly people can only get the most basic rations, or even less than the basic line.”
"Captain Noah is already merciful. As far as I know, in many places, the elderly and children are driven away."
"Because in the eyes of many people, they are just a burden that wastes food."
It was obvious that Qingming was feeling very upset, but she said nothing. She just looked at those people with eyes full of pity.
Tianyang retracted his gaze and said to Nuoya: "Do you know Lieyang Castle?"
Noah nodded: "I heard that it is one of the few fortresses that has not fallen yet."
Tian Yang nodded: "It's not far from here, you can go there to seek shelter."
"As long as you are willing to help and work."
"At least, you can have food there and don't have to worry too much."
Noya said hesitantly, "Really? Is Lieyang Castle willing to take in people like us?"
"willing."
Tian Yang smiled and said, "I came from there. The refugees from Silver Dragon Fort, Iron Blood Fort, and many other forts were properly arranged there."
“Of course, they need to make enough of a contribution, it’s not free.”
Noah nodded: "That's absolutely no problem. As long as the fortress is willing to take us in, we are happy to work for the fortress."
So Tianyang gave her the coordinates of Lieyang Castle.
Sudden.
Tianyang looked outside the settlement.
Qingming also noticed something and turned around like a whirlwind.
Finally, Noah discovered that there was a figure outside the settlement at some point.
He was a very tall man with deep features, unkempt hair and beard, and tattered clothes. He looked like a homeless person passing by.
But this homeless man caught Tianyang's attention.
Because Tianyang smelled the breath of an "alien god" on this homeless man.
While clearing the black fog everywhere these days, Tianyang is also clearing out the alien gods.
The reason why he was heading in this direction was because there were reports of alien gods appearing nearby!
