Old Hunter of Tomorrow’s Ark

She is very light, really.

Gao Qi expressed that he wanted to give her a try, but was sternly refused by Skadi, with no room for bargaining.

In short, in the face of these hungry "robbers", Skadi and Gao Qi couldn't even treat them as enemies.

Yanan's crows are better than them.

"We, we are just too hungry, the law does not allow us to rob our compatriots, but, we are too hungry, we can't find anything to eat around, we can only try our luck, who knows when we hit, the two body."

Compared with the other townspeople who were confused, the "robber leader" at the head seemed to be more energetic and spoke more. The Iberian words he spoke were not very standard, and the word order was reversed, making it difficult to understand.

Skadi had just landed, and she didn't know Iberian at all, so she was confused, so she could only follow Gaoqi closely, pretending to be serious and obedient, like a cute little killer whale.

Fortunately, Gao Qi, a foreign hunter, had his own translation plug-in, and he could understand Iberian immediately, so he acted as a temporary translator and did simultaneous interpretation for Scadi.

What this man said, Gao Qi can basically judge it to be true, which is similar to the plot he learned.

"You guessed it right, we do have a little bit of food, but it's precious. I'm a hunter, and I can hunt, so maybe there's still farther to catch - tell us about Saltwind City, when the famine is Start? What year is this year in the Terran calendar?"

Touching the pocket of the hunter's clothing, he found a piece of smoked jerky, and Gao Qi handed it to the man.

"Meat!"

The man's turbid eyes instantly radiated a light, a kind of enthusiasm for life radiated from his back, saliva quickly secreted from the corner of his mouth, and he rushed to Gao Qi's side eagerly, but cautiously. After taking the jerky, after thinking about it, I cherished it and stuffed it into my pocket.

"The wooden frame, you have to leave it for the wooden frame, thank you, thank you, Lord Hunter."

But in the end, he still held back his saliva, stuffed it into his pocket, and glanced at Gao Qi gratefully.

"Most people, all, went to the north, but more died on the road. We were too scared, so we didn't leave."

After getting the jerky, he looked at Skadi and Gao Qi with more curiosity and less fear.

"Terra calendar, I don't know, the calendar and books burned out in winter. But the famine was a few years ago, and there was no food in the city. Some people ran away, some died of starvation, some died of illness, and the judge did not come. , There are fewer and fewer people. In the past few years, only one child in a wooden frame was born - but today the judge is here, I don't want to be arrested."

Perhaps the jerky's bribery worked, this "robber leader" began to enthusiastically describe the current situation of Yanfeng City.

And Gao Qi could only sigh about this, and began to summarize the current situation of Yanfeng City in his heart.

Although along the way, I and Skadi were not short of food, but near Yanfeng City, not to mention the coconuts and wild boars on the trees, even a mouse, Gao Qi did not find.

Since the Great Tranquility Incident, several kilometers along the coast of Iberia and Agor have fallen into dead silence.

According to Skadi's description, the offshore areas have become habitats for the pelagic fish, which devoured all other creatures and merged into their own group.

It's like a swarm of worms looking for biomass, and they can't eat it, and famine naturally occurs.

Of course, Hai Si is temporarily unable to live on land for a long time, and the townspeople have basically eaten up everything that can be eaten nearby.

Large-scale agricultural cultivation is impossible in the saline-alkali land, and there is only a small amount of food such as seaweed in the ocean that is barely edible. A large number of residents of Yanfeng City either flee to the north, or stick to this place and barely survive.

A society maintained only by gathering and hunting is almost close to primitive man.

Not only that, but there were more disastrous consequences of the Great Silence, leading to the Great Recession in southern Iberia.

The entire south is begging for help, and Iberia is unable to rescue all the cities. It can only give up the most southern and most dangerous coastal cities. Only occasionally judges will come, and they reluctantly rely on the law to maintain order here.

But this has no effect, the decline of Iberia is a foregone conclusion, and Saltwind City has been abandoned.

Up to now, there are still hundreds of people in the town, and they are still rapidly decreasing. Every winter, a large number of people die.

According to Gao Qi's inference, only when there are a hundred or even dozens of people left in Yanfeng City, can the food here barely support the entire city.

You must know that this mobile city, at the beginning of its design, had to carry at least hundreds of thousands of people!

Many of these hungry townspeople are also the most devout believers who have relocated here from all over Iberia with the dream of opening up the sea.

Thanks to Iberia being a particularly devout religious country, the existence of judges made the people particularly fear the Law.

Even when they were extremely hungry, they didn't dare to hurt others, just like today, they were just using threats to force Gao Qi and Scatty to hand over food, and there was no tragedy of changing children to eat.

Well, they don't have kids either, just... wooden frames!

Climbing over a bare carbon alloy pipe with both hands, Gao Qi suddenly thought of it as he climbed to the top of the mobile city through a maintenance staff escalator dozens of meters above the ground that could fall to the death of a hundred witchers. what.

In the plot he knows, Yanfeng City will become an area similar to the small fishing villages of Innsmouth and Yanan after many years.

In order to obtain food, the residents took refuge in the deep sea church that worships Haisi, and exchanged their own sacrifices for food in the ocean. Even their speech became extremely stiff, as if they were deep divers, no, Haisi breeds seedbed.

And the future bounty hunter, Rhode Island operator Skadi, will follow in the footsteps of his companions and come to Yanfeng City, turning a good COC running group into the ultimate kicking group that makes KP give up on himself.

But now, Skadi is just a cute killer whale who just landed. Gao Qi's intervention brought her to Yanfeng City ahead of schedule.

According to the "robber"'s stumbling, but still fluent words, perhaps the Deep Sea Church has not yet taken control of this abandoned city, or just sneaked in.

The most important thing is that in the event called "Under the Falling Tide", the cutest little girl who was lucky enough to live to the end as a supporting role in the copywriting of the boat tour impressed Gao Qi. profound.

Wooden frame...picture frame...Anita!

Gao Qi nodded. As long as he could find her, he could infer how far from the main plot timeline at this moment based on her age.

After more than ten minutes of shuttle back and forth, everyone was finally about to reach the upper deck of Yanfeng City, and the low and dilapidated buildings also appeared in front of Gao Qi and Skadi.

Among them, there are also some towering buildings with modern designs, but they are all dilapidated now, and they have become dilapidated under the wear and tear of the years.

"I don't have to tell the judge that you violated the law, but you are responsible for arranging for us to live in, try to find a quiet place, and we will handle the food on our own, understand? As for you, no matter who asks us, you will Said I was a hunter and she was a wandering singer."

He handed a few pieces of jerky to the other "robbers" behind him and watched them greedily nibbling on them. Although Gao Qi didn't expect too much, but a few more people authenticated him and Skadi's fake identities. more real.

After the Great Tranquility, Iberia, which was once prosperous and open, has become an exclusive and idealistic country of the Inner Sacred Way. The two foreigners, myself and Scati, had better disguise themselves better.

Then, Gao Qi looked at the thin young man and asked seriously.

"Also, my name is Gao Qi, what's your name?"

Even if the other party is weak or humble, Gao Qi will treat the other party as an equal.

In Yanan, the most precious thing is the living people.

Hearing Gao Qi's question, the man grinned, revealing an unattractive smile.

"Fireplace, just call me a fireplace, Lord Hunter - Yanfeng City lacks everything, but there is no shortage of houses for people to live in. It takes more than a day to walk through the whole city. If you don't dislike it, you can live nearby. We haven't been here for a long time. There are guests here, and I still have extra dried seaweed at home..."

"Gao Qi."

Just when the young man who called himself "Fireplace" was still smirking, next to Gao Qi, Scotty suddenly ripped off the corner of his shirt.

Gao Qi also noticed from the moment that not far from the entrance of Yanfeng City, several people in neat trench coats, holding firearms and long swords, stood on the wet ground of the mobile city.

The person at the head is wearing a mask and a wide hat.

"Citizens, the judge asked you, where did you go just now?"

At this moment, Gao Qi felt an indescribable huge fear from the residents beside him.

The will of Iberia extends here.

12. Law, Lengtouqing and Hunter.

Iberia, a devout religious country.

In the past, this prosperous country has always been known for its openness and tolerance.

Although it has the same origin with the Rutland belief, the two countries operate in different ways and have different interpretations of the belief.

Iberians believe that as long as they strictly abide by the teachings of the code and discover the encouragement and call for goodness, they can make each other's hearts closer and make people invincible.

In that golden age, a large number of foreign residents settled in Iberia, and even those who were not devout gods were allowed to integrate into this big family.

The advanced technology and rapid progress made this country immersed in joy from top to bottom, and the power of religion once declined.

But in the "great silence" decades ago, and in the aftermath of the disaster that has continued to this day, Iberia once again understood the insignificance of human beings in the world.

Thus, Iberia became an almost completely closed country.

This country is aware of its decline and understands the disaster it will face, and they do not reject any residents who want to move out.

If you want to leave Iberia, you only need to report to the customs, and you can get out of this dull country.

On the contrary, if outsiders want to enter Iberia...the censorship they have to go through is not so simple.

The almost forgotten code was re-established, the Holy See gained more political power, but no longer as moderate as it once was, and the inquisition system appeared.

Whether noble or commoner, as long as they are loyal to Iberia and dedicate their body and mind to the country, they can become judges after investigation.

In this declining country, countless judges ran through Iberia, guarding the citizens who strictly obeyed the law, and punishing the restless people who violated the law, and this was the only way to barely maintain the stability within the empire.

The lantern to remove demons, the swift sword to punish heretics, and the hand cannon to kill aliens are all weapons that symbolize Iberian law.

When Gao Qi, Skadi, and several other Yanfeng Town residents finally climbed up the moving city, they saw several such judges.

The moment they saw them, Gao Qi and Skadi clenched the weapon case in their hands, and the scrawny and hungry townspeople exuded great fear, and their already weak bodies began to tremble violently.

"Citizen, Mr. Fireplace, a citizen reported to the Grand Inquisitor that you, along with other citizens, left Yanfeng City with arms at eight o'clock this morning, with the purpose of looting the food of passers-by - is this true?"

Holding the hilt of the Swift Sword in one hand, and pressing the other hand on the hilt of the gun at his waist, a gray-haired man dressed in a strong suit who looked extraordinarily young came out.

Gao Qi could tell from his body parts with hair tips that resembled feathers that he was a Leboli - a birdman.

He drew out his swift sword and pointed at the man named Fireplace at the head.

According to reports from other citizens, this man had been shouting that he was going to rob passers-by more than a month ago, but today he finally took action.

"The Tribunal will not implicate innocent people, tell the truth, and we will punish you according to the law."

Hearing this sentence, behind Gao Qi, a weak woman immediately fainted.

The young man seemed a little nervous, Gao Qi could hear that he was a little stumbling in this sentence, he seemed to be an inexperienced novice, but his expression was indeed full of anger.

"Don't you feel ashamed? All the townspeople are starving and facing the difficulties together. We brought emergency rations and repaired the damaged first aid equipment, just to prevent this from happening—"

Later, the young Inquisitor found two people in this group of citizens who were obviously dressed differently - Gao Qi and Skadi.

"Are you the coerced passers-by? Don't worry, tell the truth, and the Tribunal will serve you justice."

[Where did you see us being coerced? This little brother is really stunned—but that's true, it would be great if these robbers were more vicious. 】

If it weren't for the serious atmosphere around, Gao Qi would have wanted to hold his forehead and sigh.

Obviously, this young judge is more like an intern, and Gao Qi is more concerned about the people behind him.

Compared to the young Inquisitor who was nervous in the face of a group of hungry people, the few people behind him standing on the spot with their hands behind their backs and fighting side by side were obviously more relaxed.

Their focus is obviously on the young judges, more like a group of old masters watching the work of the interns.

The person in the lead had a slightly different attire from the others. He wore a hat that was slightly taller than a cowboy hat, his face was covered with a dark mask, and the weapons around his waist were obviously more exquisite than those around him.

Moreover, it also gave Gao Qi a faint sense of threat.

Obviously, this is the leader of the Inquisitor.

[Will it be the same person? No, it shouldn't be like that. 】

Soon, Gao Qi thought of the event that happened in Yanfeng City, and there seemed to be two judges, one big and one small, who were masters and apprentices.

The Grand Inquisitor doesn't speak human words. Although the Little Inquisitor is a lovely girl, she is just as stunned as the current Inquisitor.

Both of them are super kicking investigators. They have never communicated once, they have basically no inspiration, and their sociological knowledge is completely empty. They even came up and recognized the mainline NPC Skadi, who was originally the strongest thug, as the final BOSS. Killed the enemy - KP was so **** that he didn't pay for his life.

However, that should be many years later. That little Inquisitor girl, maybe she was born not long ago, she is still a cute elementary school student.

Just as Gao Qi was thinking about it, Skadi quietly stretched out his hand and poked his waist lightly.

"Gao Qi, Gao Qi, the one wearing the mask makes me feel threatened - the material of his equipment, I have seen it on the sea patrol guards."

His expression was still indifferent. Skadi couldn't understand the Iberian language that the man spoke, so he could only let Gao Qi make up his mind.

As hunters, Skadi and Gauche are equally experienced in fighting large creatures and inhuman monsters.

The former directly raised the giant sword and jumped and chopped, and chopped the Sea God into pieces in the sea, while the latter raised the giant sword and rolled over for a pedicure.

However, in the face of human enemies, Skadi is not so skilled.

Except for the compatriots who were buried by her a week ago, the other Agor people who were corrupted by Haisi have always been purified by special sea guards.

And the humanoid Haisi... Although the evolution speed of Haisi does not rule out the possibility of occurrence, the deep-sea hunter has never encountered it so far.

"Gao Qi, do you want to fight? Nod your head and I'll start the fight."

But no matter what, Skadi won't fight other things.

"Hey - it hurts, it hurts! Sister!"

Gao Qi, on the other hand, immediately took a breath and grinned.

"Sorry......"
