Wasteland Echoer

Thinking of this, Dak put away the heraldry formula, took out two crumpled new rubles with the number 100 in the common language of the Western Continent printed on them from the innermost sewing compartment of the gray-yellow backpack, and spread them out on the table.

The production dates of these two coins are similar, and they are both products around SGD 200.

There is a saying that even in the most critical moment of the Crusted Federation, the top committee officials will not give up on two things, one is the economy and the other is education.

The economy includes currency and operating systems, and education is the foundation for rebuilding the human world in the future.

A series of policies regarding currency issuance, consumption, recycling, additional issuance, etc. have been consistent from beginning to end and have not been interrupted for any reason.

The two coins of Dak were issued around the time of Administrator Kano Vladimir. On the front is the portrait of Ivan XXII of the old empire, with some sunflower patterns on the outside.

During the Kano period, although the Federation had just overthrown the Empire more than a hundred years ago, a considerable number of people and federal officials still missed the Empire. Therefore, not only were the nobles of the old empire not persecuted much, but they could also be appointed as long as they supported the federal system.

Therefore, when Duck turned the new ruble over, what came into view was the exterior painting of the "Apeland Main Palace" instead of the dwarfed parliament building. Even the watermark part of the coin continues the double-headed eagle symbol of the old empire and does not use other symbols.

Secretly lamenting the destruction of the old empire for a while, Dak smiled regretfully, put the coins away, put them in his inner pocket, arranged his clothes and got ready to go out.

Today, he gave up his old battle uniform and put on a gentlemanly black dress.

Wearing clean, neat, and iconic clothing with a dark red tie and a tall round hat, Duck was very satisfied with the aura of his appearance and whispered:

"It would be nice to have an extra cane."

Just as he was admiring his extraordinary temperament and "elegant" demeanor, there was a heavy knocking outside the door.

Boom, boom, boom.

Without hesitation, Duck hurried to the door and opened it.

"Brother Dark." Wofya's iconic voice as thick as a rock appeared in front of Dark along with his iconic face that was full of Crusted's power and beauty.

"What? In addition to Christmas activities, do you have any extra plans today?" Dak asked casually, sitting on the edge of the bed.

"That's not true." Wulfya sat down on the sofa without waiting for Dak's greeting, took out a black cigarette from the unlabeled iron box, lit it, and started smoking.

After blowing out a few smoke rings, Wulfya suddenly said with a solemn expression:

"Is your health okay? I think you slept for almost a whole day from yesterday to today."

"Oh, yes." After Wovya's reminder, Dak suddenly felt dizzy. He propped himself up on the bed and managed to recover. "I haven't rested for more than a month. When we were in Mayang City, there were While searching for traces of 'Plamini', we must also hunt down the lost person named 'Yan Xi'. It is said that he is a member of the 'Order Society', but he has repeatedly manipulated unintentional people to invade our ammunition depot and create chaos."

"The Mayang City Council could not bear it anymore and submitted a report to the federation, which listed him as a 'wanted person'. However, it is said that he may be a [seducer] or a [fraudster] who can 'seduce' and manipulate people's thinking. The results of several pursuits were not ideal. Logically speaking, the icy and snowy climate of Crusted is conducive to exerting my water-based magic power, but he can always suppress me with the power of fire. Now that I think about it, he should at least be in order Level 5... no, it may be the strength of Level 4."

After talking to this point, Dak stood up, sat next to Wulfya, put his arm around his shoulders and said:

"I can feel that the 'Lei Ye' used sequence cards to divine my fortune in the past two days, which not only consumed a lot of her magic power, but also used a lot of various powers in my body. This is of course not a bad thing. The simpler the type of power, the better. It is easier to understand and easier to use."

"This period of time is indeed too tiring. Not only these few months, but the past three years have been a kind of torture for me. I originally thought that after breaking away from the identity of an 'alien monster' and completely integrating into the human world as a superpower, It is a kind of 'regular relief'. Unfortunately, I have never been able to find a goal worthy of all my efforts as a human being. The more I work, the more confused I become, and the more confused I become, the more I want to escape."

"But fortunately, the prosperity of the capital did not confuse my eyes. Looking for 'Plamini' and finding the place where the so-called 'Echoer' narrated in the dream may become my goal for a long time to come."

"Dak." Wulfya smiled and took a puff of his cigarette and said:

"'Thunder Page' should have told you the story of Aidari, the great sage of the Uhata tribe. I still remember the words he said, 'Don't look back when you have walked the road. The traces of yesterday will be the traces of tomorrow. Light.’ In other words, the past is past, and those wrong choices will provide you with the right direction for the future.”

"If you have never been a monster, how do you know the value of being born as a human being? You have never been confused or lost, and you have never known the importance of choice. In any case, the place where you were not willing to stay in the past, no matter how warm and happy it brought you, , it’s just a passing cloud after all.”

"Human beings can only meet a few thousand 'people' in their lifetime. Half of them can talk to you, and only a few people have a close relationship. They are just passers-by in your life. The path of your future destiny is up to you. choose."

"Wulfya." Dak pulled Wulfya's body and looked into his eyes:

"It's not like you can say these words. Even if the military school covers all aspects, it won't end up teaching you philosophy and human relations, right?"

"Of course the original words were not mine, I just edited them. You probably haven't heard yet, 'Lei Ye' is sick."

"Sick? When?" Dak asked with concern. After all, the member of the "Order Society" dressed as a witch helped him do the divination of the sequence cards, allowing him to be recognized and become an upper-level professional.

Before he could thank her, he heard such bad news.

"On the second day after you left the hot pot restaurant owned by the Khitan people. It is said that you had a high fever and had been coughing. When I went to see her yesterday, she was in a good state of mind at first. She told me what I just told you. I conveyed these words. When she was about to leave, she suddenly became confused and a little crazy. I had no choice but to ask a comrade from the Urban Happiness Group under the ruling group to send her to the No. 1 Federal Hospital overnight. At this moment, She should still be receiving treatment." Wofya replied:

"But it's strange to say that in the past, I rarely took the initiative to mention the 'Order Society' or the 'Chaos Group' to my friends. After all, these organizations are considered gray areas within the Federation. Yesterday, I was surprised that a comrade from the Happiness Group took the initiative to ask After discovering the identity of 'Lei Ye' and repeatedly confirming whether she was a member of the 'Order Group', he unexpectedly cared about her and even sent her to the most luxurious ward, where only senior members of the committee could live. Perhaps the senior management had another connection with the 'Order Group' Maybe they will cooperate fully."

"By the way, Duck. I came here to accompany you to that boy who likes technology. Yesterday morning, I went to the old man in the duty room and asked about the venue that could provide us with 'scientific research'. Unfortunately, that Several rooms have been borrowed by that boy now. If we want to refine the coat of arms, we have to consult with him. I heard that what the boy is researching is very dangerous. 'Lei Ye' said that he accepted the divination of sequence cards and got professional recognition. You will experience a period of one or two months of physical weakness. As your friend and your 'big brother', I have to protect you, my little brother."

Wulfya said, patting Dak's back hard several times with the hand holding the cigarette, and laughed "wildly" a few times.

After being filmed and coughing violently several times, Dak glanced at Wulfya aggrievedly and said in a hoarse voice:

"Then I'll go to the celebrations and Christmas fireworks that night, and I'll have to rely on you to protect me."

…

Following the instructions of the old man in the duty room, Wofya took Dak along the old cement stairs, holding on to the rusty and temporarily uncleaned handles, and climbed up to the sixth floor of the accommodation area building, where only a few rooms were occupied. Floors with larger rooms.

Panting, he stopped at the door of the middle room, which was separated from the inside and outside by frosted glass. Seeing that the corridor was empty and there was no sound of any human activity, Dark cast a suspicious look at Wovya.

With a look of affirmation, Wulfya took a half step forward, hesitated for a second, and slammed the door open.

At the same time, a disturbing buzzing sound combined with a harsh explosion came from the center of the room.

What followed was a strong and choking smoke mixed with the smell of nitroglycerin and sulfur.

When the smoke dissipated, Dak and Wulfya coughed and looked at the Format machinery piled haphazardly in the crowded space, and in the middle, a small culture chamber glowing red and "jumping" up and down. Irregular lumps.

Just as the two of them were observing in confusion, a hand suddenly slapped their shoulders.

"Who?" Wulfya turned around and grabbed him, but missed.

I saw a young man wearing a cheap linen shirt and trousers lying on his back on the ground.

Duck took a closer look and found that the boy's body was dirty, covered in oil stains and various chemicals. He had probably not taken a shower in several months.

Seeing the two people looking at him, the young man was not afraid of life, and actually threw his head back and laughed wildly, just like the devil in hell who was so crazy, deformed and sick after gaining the power to annihilate the gods.

After half a minute, the young man stood up suddenly, jumped up from the ground, hugged Dark and murmured in a low voice:

"Hey, I did it! I did it! Tens of thousands of times, tens of thousands of times! I finally did it!"

"What did you do?" Wofya pulled the young man's shoulder away and asked helplessly:

"'Approximating the core of a god', this is the name I have given it temporarily." The young man said in panic and ecstasy:

"It does not use magic power, but it can give people power comparable to gods. Do you know? Do you know? As long as it is lit with 'old firework', it can guide the way to the castle and underground ruins. No human knows, What a fascinating mystery is buried under the ice and snow wasteland of Crusted. It can guide us to find the 'flame' and the 'dragon' that can change the universe!"

"No, not more!" The young man took a few steps back, looked up at the ceiling, raised his hands at a forty-five-degree angle, and shouted to the sky:

"There are gods in the ruins there. Behind the 'God of Fire' is a great machine that communicates light, dark night and the universe. Do you know? More than 70% of the energy in the universe belongs to darkness, and the 'core' is the first step. In the future, We will use the power of darkness to eliminate all the 'unintentional people' and restart the era of our human civilization!"

As the boy spoke, he seemed to suddenly think of something. He rushed to the side of the training cabin, opened a notebook, and wrote frantically in Kruse German with the pen next to him, recording information about "science."

After several minutes, Wulfya tentatively walked up to the boy, patted him on the shoulder and asked:

"Well, brother. We want to borrow a laboratory to do some 'scientific' research. You know, strictly speaking, heraldry refining also belongs to the category of science. Well, I wanted to ask you if there is any room available. ?"

Hearing this, the young man suddenly froze for a moment. As his stomach growled, the young man turned around and asked excitedly:

"Let's not talk about the lab. I'm hungry. Can you lend me some money?"
