Old Hunter of Tomorrow’s Ark

With a smile like a spring breeze, the priest nodded, as if he was happy for the future of Yanfeng City.

"The ethnic group... you're right,"

The Grand Inquisitor frowned, feeling that the priest's words were a little awkward, but he didn't think about it.

"Forgive me for my work, I wish you more and more firmness in your faith... Priest Quintus."

After the Inquisitor left, Priest Quintus pouted in disdain.

"The stupid and blind eagle dog doesn't know how to revere the ocean at all... But, it's not without good news, she is not just an ordinary Agor."

The priest turned to look into the distance, the tiny red figure, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift up.

"Before the experiment could start, another sample arrived... It took no effort to get it."

14. Weird Town with Double Beds.

Cold, damp, and desolate.

This is Gao Qi's first impression after entering Yanfeng City.

After being questioned by the Inquisitor, and following the guidance of the fireplace, Gaoch and Skadi walked to the area where they lived.

"For the time being, we live in the north of the city. Most of the people have left. We can live in many houses. Lord Hunter, I will find you a big house."

I am very grateful to the saviour who helped me avoid being taken away by the Inquisitor, and the nobleman, Fireplace and other devout Iberian citizens who kept me from going astray.

Especially after Gao Qi gave them a meal ration, they immediately volunteered to find a house for Gao Qi and Skadi.

It is said that Cang Lin knows the etiquette, and knows the honor and disgrace, but for the residents of Yanfeng City, who are on the verge of starvation all the year round, if they can give a meal to outsiders, they are already living saints on the same level as judges. .

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome, we only need a room."

Gao Qi and Skadi observed the city while following the guide closely.

Yanfeng City is a mobile city built a few decades ago, so there are not so many modern high-rise buildings, more white bungalows, and occasionally two or three-story buildings can be seen.

Because it was an immigrant ship used to open up the ocean, the city did not see too many industrial areas full of machinery, most of which were lined with residential buildings.

Yanfeng City is obviously much smaller than the Dragon Gate in the main storyline. The city has no inner and outer rings, only a few simple main roads. It is more like a town than a big city.

The streets on both sides are extraordinarily narrow. Although the road that looks like a concrete floor is in disrepair for a long time, the blessing of Totella's material science is that you can only see a few cracks occasionally, and no moss grows. It is just a simple seaside. dampness.

Of course, this is also the norm in coastal cities. Gao Qi, who grew up by the sea, knows that the so-called sea-view rooms are deceiving. .

The real estate boss will only show you the blue sky and blue sea and the clear sky, but he will never let you know how bad the storm surge is.

This is probably why the exteriors of the houses here are all painted white, or at least they look drier.

However, this is not the point, this Salt Wind City lacks what a town should have.

Human taste.

Along the way, the house that Gao Qi and Skadi saw were either empty, with four walls, or the door was closed, and they could only look out of the house with curious and vigilant eyes from the darkness.

It is said that there are still hundreds of living people left in Yanfeng City, scattered all over the city, but along the way, Gao Qi and Skadi really saw only a few thin old people who were not afraid at all. Go out to see the foreigners who come here.

For them, death is a nature that does not need to be escaped.

Although it was a cloudy day, the bleak and strange atmosphere still made Gao Qi think of Yanan Town.

[But fortunately, at least they didn't have the enthusiasm of the old buddies who opened the bonfire party. Those gates always saw me and wanted to turn me around. 】

Recalling the experience of being a new self when he first entered Yanan, and being hidden in various corners and corners by despicable locals, Gao Qi couldn't help sighing.

Sure enough, this Yanfeng City is very wrong.

"Here, Mr. Hunter, this is the largest empty house. We all live nearby. Walk two streets ahead. The second house is my home. If you need anything, you can come to me, and everyone will be willing to help. You and your wife."

He patted his chest, which was so thin that it looked like a rib, and the fireplace looked at Gao Qi enthusiastically.

"Then, I'm going back, and I'm going to bring the meat to the wooden frame. My wife has long since left with the child. I stay here to take care of my father. After that, he also leaves. I treat the wooden frame as my own child, yes. ,child."

He clenched the jerky in his pocket. This man, who usually doesn't speak very neatly, seems to have fallen into memory. His brown eyes lost focus for a short time, and he began to dream.

But in an instant, he returned to his normal posture and laughed at the two of them.

"Okay, do what you need to do - there will be no free food next time, so you have to pay more."

Gao Qi waved his hand, and the man who claimed to be the fireplace immediately ran to his home impatiently.

"It doesn't matter, Lord Hunter, Yanfeng City lacks everything except food—tomorrow is Sunday, you can go to church with us to pray."

Soon, the figure of the fireplace disappeared at the end of the street.

"Ha, this city has no hope. It's better to move out sooner."

Gao Qi sighed, not only for these poor people who were abandoned, but also for this once prosperous city.

As the ocean gradually stopped producing food, Yanfeng City declined rapidly, and everyone's energy was focused on finding food. Naturally, there could be no teachers or teachers.

Just a generation later, the residents here have almost forgotten the knowledge and culture of Iberia, and even the simplest way to name them, fireplaces, wall ash, iron sheets... There is no difference between two dogs and iron eggs.

Afterwards, Gao Qi looked to his side, the girl in the red dress who had been keeping a well-behaved face, with a smile on his face again.

"Okay, Skadi, stop pretending, there's no one left now."

From the very beginning, Skadi has been very well-behaved by Gao Qi's side, without saying a word, trying to pretend to be the background board.

"I didn't pretend. I don't like to be lively. When there are too many people, I don't like to talk. Besides, I don't understand what they say."

Clinging tightly to the weapon case that contained the great sword, Skadi also let out a soft sigh of relief, not to mention the language barrier, she really didn't like the fun.

"Leaving is a good choice, but hometown...not everyone has the courage to leave voluntarily."

If possible, Skadi is also reluctant to leave his hometown.

However, even without this final battle, in his hometown, Skadi would have nothing to worry about.

Blinking his eyes, Scotty threw the strange thoughts out of his mind.

"And... I don't know if it's my illusion. I don't think this city is very normal."

Of course, just now, Skadi was not just a good boy, but was carefully observing this coastal city.

"I don't know people on land very well, and you said that you are different from them, so you can't use Gao Qi as a standard to see other citizens."

Thinking back on his journey, from the group of "robbers" at the beginning to the other residents of Saltwind City that he occasionally saw later, although Skadi didn't see any obvious abnormalities, he always felt that something was wrong.

"However, I always feel that there is something familiar and unusual here - at least, these citizens give me a different feeling than those judges."

Hearing Skadi's words, Gao Qi also nodded solemnly.

Like the residents of Innsmouth, the residents of Saltwind City will be chosen as sacrifices to feed the sea scorpion, and the deep-sea sect that worships the sea sage has penetrated into every aspect of the city.

Although Gao Qi is now a long time before the main plot line, who knows if Yanfeng City has been infiltrated by the Deep Sea Sect?

"Yeah, be more careful. Although the Inquisitor's gang will cause us trouble, they are to some extent the official power of Iberia, and the danger is not from them.

Turning around, Gao Qi walked to the small two-story building behind him. Although the door was a bit shabby, it could at least be closed.

"Gao Qi, you have also discovered that it is impossible for those judges to let their guard down on us."

Skadi's gaze swept vaguely to not far away, behind an ordinary chimney, pretending to have found nothing, and followed behind Gao Qi.

The young Inquisitor was well hidden, but obviously, for the two top-ranked hunters, this peek-a-boo skill was nothing.

A simple inquiry cannot make the Inquisitor relax his vigilance against the two outsiders.

"This at least shows that these people are indeed protecting the safety of the citizens, but they just can't fill the stomachs of the citizens."

Click.

When Gao Qi twisted the door lock, he found that the door of the house was closed and could not be opened.

"Ah, here again, wait a minute, there must be an entrance on the other side, I'll open the door from there."

Gao Qi sighed. He was used to the "doors that cannot be opened from this side" in Yanan Town, so he subconsciously planned to go in from behind the house.

The next second, a loud noise came from behind Gao Qi,

Ka-bang!

"It's just a locked room, how can there be another entrance?"

Looking back, Gao Qi saw that Skadi lifted up her red dress, raised her snow-white thighs, and kicked the door open with one foot.

"Ah... occupational habits, occupational habits, it's popular for us in Yanan to go through the back door."

After smiling awkwardly, Gao Qi scratched his head a little embarrassedly, followed in Skadi's footsteps and walked into the dimly lit room.

Only the Yanan people like to make doors that open in one direction everywhere.

"Well... it's not bad, clean up and rest for the time being tonight, it's best not to stay in this place for too long."

Opening the window and letting the cool sea breeze blow into the musty room, Ska clapped the iron filings on her hands, looked at the empty room, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, it's really good... The room is so big that you can live anywhere you want."

Gao Qi also nodded - there seems to be only one double bed in this room.

【Great! Three people sleep together! 】

[Good hunter, please don't take me with you. 】

Of course, some people are not so happy.

15. Skadi's resolution - sleep together!

Yanan is not the earth, which Gao Qi can fully confirm.

Although in the setting, he is a hunter from a foreign land, but in essence, the moment he wakes up, he is already in the eternal dream of Yanan.

From beginning to end, he never left the Yanan area to see what was going on outside the Hunter World.

From the huge moon hanging high in the sky, the world where Yanan lives has absolutely nothing to do with the earth.

But Terra... Judging from the known settings of Gao Qi, at least it is definitely related to human beings.

In the once-developed super-ancient civilization, just a few percent of the power of a home therapeutic device can provide all the energy of a giant mobile city.

With this kind of technology, let alone the Galactic Empire, it is not surprising that Gao Qi can make the plasma spark tower of the Land of Light.

However, to say that this is the Earth... is not entirely correct.

After all, there are two moons floating in the sky.

wow—

In the distance, the sound of the waves is particularly clear.

Although it is near the tropics, but near the winter, the night on the Iberian coast comes very early, and Yanfeng City falls into darkness early.

"It's sunny after the rain."

Sitting on the side of the double bed that had been tidied up, Skadi looked up at the vast and high sky through the clean and transparent window glass.

After an afternoon of torrential rain, the night sky of Yanfeng City looked extraordinarily clean.

Skadi has long been accustomed to the capricious, childlike weather of the ocean, but she still likes to rise to the surface from the depths of the sea on sunny days to see the stars and full moon in the sky.

This allows her to take a short respite from the frequent battles and killings, and recall the fact that she is still a human being.

Even on land, this habit is still preserved.

In the sky, a circle of light emitting light blue light is hanging high above the mid-heaven.

This is the blue moon that represents the first half of the night, and when the next night comes, another moon that emits a reddish light will climb up the sky, that is, the red moon.

From close to noon to now at night, this large and spacious room has undergone a huge transformation in front of Skadi.

The house that used to be full of dust and damp, has now become clean and tidy, reminding Scady of his dormitory.

It took a long time for Scadi and Gao Qi to clean up the room - of course, most of the work was done by Scadi watching Gao Qi finish.

Because of the two people—well, Gao Qi himself, for the help of the previous citizens, several people generously lent some daily necessities and cleaning tools to Gao Qi.

In front of Skadi, this hunter who had known him for a while, cleaned the entire room from sweeping to mopping, from dusting to scrubbing, from the inside to the outside.

And what Scati did was just reach out to help push the heavy metal double bed when Gao Qi couldn't move it alone.

"Gao Qi... He's really versatile."

Thinking back to the other party's skillful and delicate housework ability, Skadi felt a little embarrassed.
