Mysterious Tribulation

Chapter 18: Cataclysm

   "Come on!"

   Aaron followed these two children, because he could not interfere in the world, so he could only cheer for them silently.

   The passage is not long. Soon, the two children took the bread and got out.

   This is supposed to be the back of the bakery, but because of their excitement, their movements became a bit bigger and they kicked a small wooden board and made a slight noise.

  In a moment, the expressions of the little boy and the little girl were pale.

   The little boy let out a howl, presumably in the meaning of running fast, and backed the girl.

   Behind them, the terrifying monster had chased frantically, and the tentacle-like arms grew frantically, directly piercing the plank.

   Horror, breaking through the wall!

   Aaron wanted to do something, but couldn't help it.

   These two children alone can’t survive this terrifying monster!

   At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the side!

  咻咻!

   Accompanied by a loud noise, a few flying rocks hit the monster, attracting its attention.

   And a female scavenger with a healthy body, like a female cheetah, has quickly approached, pulled up two children, and quickly retreated.

   Obviously, the loud noise next to him is just bait.

   "Very good... It seems that people in this world are not all crazy, and there doesn't seem to be much difference in race..."

   Aaron followed this woman and looked at each other carefully.

   This woman is very young, probably in her twenties, wearing a sturdy and durable dress, but the surface is a bit dirty, just like a scavenger.

   She has Germanic blonde and blue eyes, is tall and strong, with a bronze-colored face full of firm expressions, and she is running without a word at this time.

  During the action jump, her steps were very light, and she barely made much noise, as if she had been specially trained.

   Although she was holding two children, one child, one child, but her expression did not show the slightest difficulty, she quickly ran out of the city and came to a human camp.

   This is a mill built by the river. At this time, it has been completely militarized. It has an iron fence full of thorns, and there are dark pieces of flesh and blood on the railings.

   Inside the building, a few people walked out with weapons in their hands. Their faces were full of vigilance. They didn't smile until they saw this woman.

   "Very good, one gathering spot."

   Aaron followed into the interior of the building and found that it was not big, only about twenty people, but the material reserves were still abundant, so he immediately decided to live and slowly learn their language and writing.

   Anyway, for them, there is an invisible ghost, and it's nothing.

   Soon, Aaron saw that the woman had an argument with her companion over the two children.

   After all, in this kind of eschatology, adding two burdens is not easy.

   Fortunately, the results were good, and the two children were finally accepted.

   The scavenger woman at the beginning took a can of something like canned meat and gave it to the two children, and said something softly.

   After the two kids finished eating, she even took out a book, started pointing at the content on it, and slowly read it.

   Something that surprised Aaron happened. This woman hadn't forgotten education in this situation. Perhaps she was teaching the two children to read!

  ...

  How fast can you learn a language?

  Aaron knew that some geniuses beyond common sense might just take a flight and learn the local lingua franca by themselves before landing.

   And he is equivalent to a genius with controllable hypermemia, and the time it takes is-ten days!

   This is not because of his lack of academic ability, it is entirely because he can only gain knowledge passively, which slows down his progress.

Relying on the unforgettable ability and the conversations of the people in the settlement, the most important thing is the learning of the two children. At this time, Aaron can finally understand the language of another world and read theirs in general. Word.

   At the same time, I also knew the name of the scavenger woman—Xiu!

   As for the two children, the older is Ike and the younger is Lin.

   The technology in this world is obviously more developed than the Green Forest, at least Aaron saw the flintlock used for defense.

   And in this period of time, Aaron heard the most vocabulary, it is-‘cataclysm’!

   This is the collective term for the solar catastrophe and the series of consequences brought about by other human beings.

   This day.

   Outside the mill, there was the sound of trap bells ringing.

   The group hurriedly took the firecrackers and pointed them in the direction where the trap was triggered.

   Even Ike, holding a knife in his hand, firmly guarded his sister behind him.

   From the direction of Bell, a figure quickly emerged.

   "Auntie Xiu!"

   Lin cheered, and Ike also put down the weapon in his hand, but his face changed in the next moment, because there was a wound on Xiu's arm that was constantly leaking blood.

   "She is injured and needs treatment!"

   a woman in her forties yelled out of the survivors.

   "No... repair! You can't get close anymore."

   A man raised his gun: "God knows if your wound will be infected or become that kind of monster? Normal hunters won't touch their traps! But you let those bells ring... You can't control yourself anymore?"

   Xiu stopped outside the mill, and a helpless smile appeared on his face: "I'm still conscious, and I shouldn't be crazy immediately. To be on the safe side, I will stay outside the mill!"

   After she finished speaking, she stopped and sat down to rest against the wall of the mill: "Sorry... I met a very dangerous monster and didn't get the food back."

   Ike was silent, and suddenly stepped forward and took out the bandage to fix it.

  Xiu squeezed Lin's face with a smile on her face.

   "How can they do this?" Ike felt sorry for Xiu. You must know that most of the food in the refuge was obtained by Xiu.

   "Don't blame them, everyone has gone crazy since the cataclysm!"

Xiu lit a cigarette without a filter, and he vomited slowly, with a heavy tone: "Yes...In fact, we are also lunatics, but potential lunatics. Everyone has a different degree of madness, and the most maddening ones have changed from the beginning. Monsters, those who are not so crazy can become cruel, bloodthirsty, cold, indifferent, crazy... A small group of survivors is better, but it adds a little anxiety, compulsion, tension, persecution delusions... But we still have the possibility Fall into the abyss and transform into a monster—when you are injured, infected, or emotionally excited. Therefore, caution and caution are the rules for your future survival... Also, don't trust others easily!"

   She was teaching the experience of survival in the last days, and her voice became lower and lower.

   Ike’s eyes were full of tears, but he resisted it.

   In the next few days, Xiu's condition was pretty good, at least he didn't turn into a monster, or his wound was infected.

   But at the same time, there is bad news. The monsters in nearby Port Salo have become stronger and more agile.

   After repairing, several waves of scavengers suffered bad luck, and even one team just failed to come back!

   A thick cloud weighed on the head of every survivor.
