Li You and Marco walked on the road one after the other. Marco kept moving along the edge of the building to prevent himself from being targeted by possible snipers. Li You did the same thing. The two walked along the street, looking for a suitable shelter. Li You walked around an overturned truck and was about to move forward, but suddenly stopped: "Wait." Marco stopped and whispered: "What's wrong?" Li You pointed to the intersection in front of him. From here, you can see that there are two military supply boxes in the middle of the intersection. "Military supplies? Here?" Marco was also stunned when he saw it, "This... no matter how you think about it, it must be a trap, right?" Li You nodded: "There is a sniper." Marco was shocked at the time.
Li You looked to the side and saw bullet marks on the tires of the overturned truck. He said, "These boxes were placed here by a guy just to have fun with people." "Let's go another way. He may have already spotted us. We can't go any further." Marco had no objection: "Okay." The two slowly retreated and turned back. They had only walked a hundred meters when a gunshot was heard at the intersection behind them. "Bang!" Marco was so scared that he almost fell down, but when he saw that Li You had no reaction, he realized that the other party was not aiming at him. But his face was not good either: "Could it be...?" Li You shook his head slightly: "Don't think about it, let's go." Marco was silent for a moment and cursed viciously: "These beasts!" There are both government and rebel snipers active in Berglun, but it doesn't matter which side they belong to. Their common feature is that they all just want to have fun. This is not the only trap like this, and it's not the worst one. Li You didn't say anything and changed direction to continue moving forward. Although the city of Berglun had long been devastated, there were not many dead people on the roadside, because both sides of the war would collect the bodies of their companions. The most common here were ruins, burning buildings and vehicles, and some splattered blood. Only one or two corpses could be seen occasionally, and their common characteristics were tattered clothes, pale faces and thin bodies. In rare cases, when you passed by a skinny body that you thought was a corpse, it would suddenly move and struggle to make a hollow cry of "woohoo". Marco looked reluctant and turned his face away, but Li You's face did not change at all. He was not cold-blooded, but such refugees were really hopeless, and even Li You could not do anything. Besides, until now, they had not even found a suitable shelter.
The buildings on both sides of the road were either destroyed by shells or burning with flames. The rare suitable houses had already been occupied by others. After walking through a road that was mostly blocked by crooked scrapped cars, Li You looked at the sky and said, "It's almost dawn, there's no time, let's just find a place to stay for a day." Marco also agreed. During the day, the government army and the rebels often clashed, and the soldiers of both sides ran around in the city. It was extremely dangerous to be outside at this time. In the game, the protagonists also stayed in the shelter during the day and went out to search for supplies at night. If you are a little slow when searching for supplies and don't have time to return before dawn, then the character who went out to explore will be at risk of injury. The two relaxed their standards and searched for a while. Finally, before the light of dawn spread over the earth, they hid in a roadside hut. This hut has only two floors. Not only is the structure old, but the second floor has collapsed seriously, and even the fire on the roof has not been extinguished. Obviously, this place was bombarded not long ago, so it is now empty. No, it's not empty. Li You stood in front of the entrance of the hut and looked up. At the window on the second floor of the hut, a man's body was lying there, half of his body was burnt black. Marco followed Li You's line of sight and saw the body. He lowered his eyes and sighed. "... Let's go in." The two entered the house and locked the door. Not long after that, there were bursts of noisy noises on the street outside, as if a small-scale army was exchanging fire. Marco was still frightened: "Fortunately we caught up." Li You agreed with this. He sniffed the burnt smell in the house and said: "I'll go upstairs to see the situation and be responsible for vigilance. You search here?" Marco patted his chest: "Leave it to me. I know a thing or two about scavenging." Li You just smiled. He knew very well that Marco did have some experience in scavenging and picking up garbage. This was the background setting of the character. But there is an old rumor that Marco does not search for more or faster things than others, but his backpack can hold more... But the game setting is just the game setting. Since Marco is confident, there is no problem leaving it to him. Li You immediately turned and went upstairs. He looked at the collapsed part of the second floor, separated the flammable materials from the still burning fire, and then went to the living room. After a simple search, he found a pile of leaflets scattered on the ground. It read: "This area is an anti-terrorism zone. Anyone stranded in the city will be regarded as a terrorist. For the safety of you and your family, please leave Berglun City immediately. The government forces will guarantee your safety." There was also a line of sloppy handwriting below: "A bunch of liars!!" Li You shook his head and put the leaflet down. Although the outbreak of the war was the fault of the rebels, by now, both the government forces and the rebels have committed numerous atrocities, and no one in the city would believe their nonsense about "ensuring security." Then, Li You kicked open the sealed door leading to the master bedroom, and the body of the man he just saw was hanging on the window here. Li You dragged him down, covered him with a sheet, and then returned to the living room. Just wait here and let Marco search. He came to sit by the window of the living room, put the sniper rifle on the window, and began to meditate lightly while being on guard. at the same time.
Downstairs, Marco was rummaging through boxes and cabinets, searching for potentially useful supplies. For example, nails and bolts that are not too rusty, wood that is still suitable, or canned food that has not expired for a long time. However, Marco did not let down his guard when doing these things. Marco still had doubts about his new friend. After all, not everyone would walk around in a ruined city with a samurai sword on their waist, a sniper rifle on their back, and a gun storage box in their hand. of. Marco first thought he was a robber, and later thought he was an army sniper. However, after a short period of communication with him, he felt that this guy was not that vicious and inhumane guy. So what does he do? Special forces? Marco hasn't figured it out yet. He opened a broken and rickety closet door, shook away the dust, coughed and rummaged inside. "Huh? This is..." Marco fumbled a few times and took out an old small hammer from the depths of the cabinet. "This is good, it can be used!" A satisfied smile appeared on his face, but then he was interrupted by a shout from upstairs. "Ah, ah ah, ah ah ah ahhhhh——!!" Marco was startled by the sudden roar, and then he realized that this seemed to be Li You's voice? He hesitated for a moment, then put away the hammer and ran upstairs. "--What’s wrong with you!" Marco pushed open the door and asked. What he saw shocked him. Li You was half-kneeling and huddled in the corner of the room, trembling all over. He grabbed the window guardrail in front of him with one hand, almost tearing off the old guardrail entirely. When he heard his voice, Li You raised his head subconsciously, and then Marco saw that Li You's eyes were covered with blood. He was so frightened that he took a step back: "What is this..." Li You gasped for breath and managed to speak: "Don't come over! I'm fine...I just..." Halfway through his words, his body started to twitch again. Martin seemed to suddenly understand something, and asked carefully: "Is there anything I can do?" Li You took a few breaths and said, "...No, just let me take my time..." Marco then stood up and said, "Okay, if you need help with anything, just call me." He left immediately and closed the door thoughtfully. Li You tried hard to control his body and sat down cross-legged again. After making sure that no one else was watching, he took out the wine bottle from his backpack and took several gulps before the blood in his eyes faded. He took it easy again, and then breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing else wrong with him. "...I'm just fucked, Yinglong's resentment is too strong."
When he was meditating just now, he saw the Sakura Dragon Divine Crystal emerging in his consciousness, as well as the dragon-shaped blood shadow contained in it. Li You discovered at this time that he hadn't noticed for a while. The blood shadow representing Yinglong's resentment seemed to have come out of the crystal? It seems that a small part of the body is exposed on the surface of the crystal? Both common sense and the experience of various fantasy works he had seen told him that this was definitely not a good sign. Li You hesitated for a moment, and then wanted to use his consciousness to push back the Yinglong Divine Crystal to stop it from trying to escape. But unexpectedly, as soon as his consciousness came close to the divine crystal, a blood thread sprang out from the blood shadow, piercing the core of Li You's consciousness! Then, Li You felt unspeakable resentment rushing towards him, like a raging flame, burning his spirit and burning him to ashes. The sudden severe pain made him scream out. Fortunately, there was only a trace of resentment, so Li You recovered quickly. But he also learned a profound lesson: before, he followed the method told to him by the miko of the Source Palace, by letting his consciousness resonate with the Sakura Dragon Divine Crystal to invoke Sakura Dragon's divine power. But now, Yinglong's resentment seems to penetrate the crystal and come out, unable to touch it. If this happens every time in the future, doesn't it mean that he can't use the power of Sakura Dragon for the time being? Li You frowned slightly. Although in this world, one must be careful not to expose extraordinary abilities, but being able to use them secretly with caution and being unable to use them are completely different things. Even if he can only use a small amount of Sakura Dragon's power, he usually just uses it to make thunder? Even thunder magatama can replace power generation? This problem still needs to be solved? Li You carefully recalled the Sakura Dragon Divine Crystal that he had just seen in meditation, and then noticed that it seemed that the blood shadow of resentment was a little thicker than when he first got it? He immediately reacted: "Isn't it right... Has this thing absorbed the resentment in the dead cell world and strengthened itself?" Li You very much hoped that he was overthinking it, but thinking about the principle, wouldn't it be the same as when he turned the lion ape into the Origin Saint? Although the Sakura Dragon Crystal itself can isolate most of the resentment, it seems that this entire dragon of resentment is still too attractive to the resentment floating in the world. "...It seems that we must find a way." After all, most of the worlds he traveled through may be full of resentment. For example, this world now. Li You sighed, grabbed the wine jug and took another sip of wine, and then walked out of the room. Marco was searching for supplies in the kitchen on the first floor. Seeing Li You coming downstairs, he also turned around, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "No offense, but I want to ask, do you...suffer from PTSD?" When this was said, Li You was also stunned and looked at him. Marco looked at him and said, "I don't mean anything, but I have seen people with similar symptoms. If you need anything, I can help you at any time." Li You laughed and asked, "You want to help me? Aren't you curious about my identity?" Marco said, "Of course I am curious, but that's all in the past. No matter what you did in the past, we are now war refugees and companions. Supporting each other is the key to moving forward."
Li You looked at him and said, "You are really a good guy." He paused, then said, "It doesn't matter if I tell you, so you don't have any wild thoughts." "I'm not a robber, not a soldier, and even less a sniper. "——I'm a killer." Marco was stunned. "…What did you say? ? " This is the excuse Li You had thought of not long ago. Although he could not expose his extraordinary abilities, even so, his own combat power had long surpassed the limit of human beings, so he had to suppress his own strength to avoid scaring Marco. In that case, he needed a reasonable explanation for why he was so strong. Especially since he was carrying a heavy sniper rifle, the shape of this thing was too hideous and conspicuous. Anyone who knew a little about firearms could see that it was an anti-material sniper rifle, which was not something that could be obtained by scavenging. And the identity of a sniper was a nightmare for most citizens of Berglun, and he absolutely could not move around with such a hat. So Li You simply made up an identity for himself as a killer. No feelings, no food. But can fight. Marco was stunned for a few seconds before he finally came to his senses: "You...what is your goal?" Li You smiled slightly: "I have completed my previous mission, but unfortunately, this also caused me to be trapped here." Now Marco felt that everything made sense: "So that's it! " He sighed and said, "Okay, then I won't ask about your past. It's the same as what I said just now. Only if we cooperate can we survive." Li You also nodded and asked, "Did you find anything?" Marco opened his backpack and showed it to Li You. It was basically a bunch of scattered tools and materials, such as nails, tape, plastic, and a few electronic components. Marco pointed to the wood piled on the side: "And there are those, some wood that has not rotted." Li You took a look and found that he had a lot of materials, but the problem was... there was nothing to eat. He frowned slightly: "Still no food?" Marco shook his head: "I have searched the first floor and the basement, but there is nothing. It must have been looted a long time ago." Li You said: "Go to the second floor and take a look. I opened the bedroom door." Marco went up with his bag on his back and came down not long after. "I found some bandages and herbs, but there is still nothing to eat. " Li You understood: "So now, finding something to eat is the top priority." Let's not talk about Marco, he has been hungry for three days, and he has only eaten a few candies, and he is already exhausted.
Even for Li You, his physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people, so he naturally needs a lot of food to replenish his consumption. At present, he is not hungry, and if he does not exercise vigorously, he can still last for a few days, but it is not a problem. In the past world, Li You has never worried about food. Even in the dead cell world where the epidemic spreads, he can get the food stored by the time guardian for free - that is the food provided by the business people of the Jilan tribe. But here, he has to start to be self-reliant and find food. Li You went back upstairs, rummaged through the flyers and waste paper on the floor, and finally found a brochure with a rough map. He spread the map on the table and asked Marco: "Can you find our approximate location now? " Marco nodded and pointed at the map: "About here, this is the intersection we passed before." Li You looked at the location and had a rough idea of the direction, then asked: "Do you know which dangerous places are there in the city, and where can I find supplies?" Marco thought for a while and pointed out a few more places. "This is an abandoned school, there is a supermarket here... This is the dock, but it is blocked... There is a hotel here, and it seems that a group of robbers live in it. Not far away is said to be a 'flower shop' they opened..." Li You was stunned: "Flower shop?" Marco blinked helplessly: "...That's it, that kind of place, you know." Li You understood. He looked at the map again and made a decision: "Okay, I'll go there tonight." Marco: "? ? ? " I should have time to update more tomorrow _(`」∠)__
