"I don't want your life, you just need to answer a few questions from me." Xiang En looked down at Walter condescendingly. The other person had no intention of standing up, and he didn't bother to remind him.
What he wants to know more now is how many things have happened to the outside world in the past few months
Walter nodded, "As long as I know it, I will definitely not keep it!"
"Well..." Xiang En pondered for a while, and then asked first: "How did you survive?"
Unexpectedly, Xiang En would ask such a question. Walter was stunned, but still showed a scared expression and vividly talked about his experiences in the past few months.
"I... I took over a hunting mission a few months ago, but when my two temporary companions and I took the prey back to Greystone City, we encountered a group of sons of bitches. They were unreasonable at all. Kill everyone! We escaped together with several other teams, and in the end only six people escaped.
After that, we discovered that many towns had been massacred. From those who escaped, we knew that the nobles were smoking magic smoke and going crazy, and they were being hacked and killed everywhere... "
As if recalling the scene that day, Walter was filled with grief, anger and helplessness, and continued: "More and more people are escaping from the town, and then someone says something... The end is coming, everyone will die, and God will punish the world. It annoys me to hear all this nonsense! At that time, there was an old stickman jumping around in front of me, and I gave him... "
"Ahem!"
Xiang En coughed lightly.
"Sorry, sorry!" Walter understood immediately, suppressed the urge to add more information, and then said: "Uh, yes! More and more people escaped, and finally they got together. Unexpectedly, our team was targeted. . In the end, we had a fight with those noble lackeys, and we lost so much that we even lost our pants. We were dying and running away. Everyone was hiding in the forest, not daring to show their heads at all.
After that, the weather became strange, more and more people became afraid of these strange phenomena, and the group of noble lackeys also ran away. The people who survived came together. Some people believed in some bullshit doomsday, and some people wanted to leave the Province of De Aire. "
"What about you? Do you believe it or not?" Xiang En asked.
"I definitely don't believe it. Just shouting a few words from God is enough. Is it possible that some people really expect God to give them money to buy drinks?"
Walter let out a few hoarse sneers, feeling bad. He suppressed his smile and said: "I don't know how many groups those people were divided into. Anyway, they were running around noisily, so I followed one group to Fiore. gone."
At this point, Walter paused, the fear in his eyes seemed to spread out, and suddenly started crying again. His mental state was the same as his current face, not much better.
"It's raining, black rain. Those who didn't survive turned into monsters. They are all monsters, ah!"
Xiang En turned around and went to the edge of the sled, pinched out another ball of bread, and came back and handed it to Walter, who was in a bad state of mind.
Seeing the bread, Walter stopped crying immediately and ate it hungrily. His bad mood disappeared immediately, "That's about it. I stayed here until just now when I went outside to look for food. When I came back, I saw When I arrived at the traces you left, I wanted to see the situation.”
"You're the only one here?" Xiang En frowned and questioned, "Then why didn't I see your footprints?"
"I came from the west."
Walter seemed worried that Xiang En would not believe him, and wanted to invite him to visit his residence, but Xiang En refused.
In the next few questions, Xiang En asked mostly about the distribution of fleeing refugees and ghouls.
"Ghoul? What a good name. I admire your talent!"
With the delicious bread, Walter's attitude became more and more humble, "Those ghouls disappeared in the coldest days of winter. I have seen one before, and it was hiding in a crack in the rocks." Here, I didn’t dare to get close, but it’s probably not dead.”
"As for those who are still alive..." Walter shook his head, "I don't know, they are either dead or still hiding. If I hadn't found the hidden food, I probably wouldn't be alive now."
After thoroughly understanding what Walter knew, Xiang En had a general understanding of the current situation.
The black rainwater may be the source of infection, but the intensity of the infection is real.
When asked in detail, those who didn't survive were basically injured people and people with poor physical health. Most of the people with a high level of bronze magic power were fine.
Those who survived have spread to the entire De Aire Province and other provinces, and there is a high probability that they will freeze to death and starve to death.
According to Walter, this winter was colder than every winter he had ever experienced. Many animals were frozen to death. After eating the stored food, he survived by picking up carcasses.
After asking the questions, Xiang En gave Walter two more pieces of bread and prepared to drive him away.
"you can go now."
Walter, who had two balls of bread stuffed in his hand, did not eat it immediately. Instead, he looked up at Xiang En with sincerity and begged, "Sir, don't drive me away! You must be in need of a helper! I can help." You poop, just give me some more food!"
Just kidding, if he leaves now, it will be equivalent to giving up an opportunity to have a good meal. He still knows the difference very clearly.
Moreover, in this situation, the probability of survival is obviously much higher if we go together.
Walter looked at the two people standing in front of him with envy.
Although the two of them wore clothes made of rough animal skins and looked like savages, compared with themselves wearing cotton and leather clothes, Xiang En and Andrea's mental outlook did not seem to have experienced any suffering at all.
I can't say that my face is glowing, but at least I don't have to worry about eating and drinking.
Now following the two of them, even if they are doing hard work, it is better than returning to the state of being hungry and full. Moreover, the strength of the two of them is obviously not weak. They should at least be silver-level professionals. If something happens, When I hug my thigh, my life is not so tiring!
Andrea was not the person in charge. She had been silent throughout the entire process, and in front of strangers, she returned to her former autistic self.
Rather than being autistic, it is better to say that I don’t know what to say or how to express myself in language, so I simply say nothing.
"Now, you can go."
"I… "
Faced with Walter's plea, Xiang En firmly refused and pointed at the door, indicating that he could leave quickly.
Seeing that Xiang En's attitude was very firm, Walter had no choice but to stand up shakily, opened the door, lowered his head and walked out.
Only Xiang En and Andrea were left in the room. After watching Walter disappear at the corner of the street, Xiang En drew another trap totem and inserted it at the door.
The forbidden vine is not used. This is just a temporary resting place. There is no need to waste a forbidden vine totem.
"Why don't you take him with you?" After placing the totem, Andrea asked Xiang En her doubts after closing the door. "You can ask him to help pull the sled. This will also help you."
"That person has too many small thoughts. It's hard to have trust between adventurers, especially without the constraints of rules."
Xiang En shook his head, not believing Walter's character at all.
"Winter is almost over. When the time comes to switch to a cart, we can capture an animal to help transport it. There is no need to use humans."
During the previous questioning, he had been observing Walter. After recovering his strength, the other person's mind had been very active.
Walter's performance is that of a standard low-level mercenary, a low-level mercenary, a bit clever, but easy to distinguish.
If you believe that a person who can casually say that he is working hard can have integrity, then Xiang En is too naive, and he is afraid that he will be stabbed in the back one day when he takes a break.
