messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 134 It's Impolite To Pull Others To Talk

After the farewell reception was over, some of the drinkers stayed and continued to drink, while others returned home with shaky steps.The poet Matt passed out drunk in the corner of the tavern, holding the xylophone and playing the stumbling tunes, humming and singing without knowing what, I heard that the boss will let him stay tonight.

Chu and Mann went back to their respective rooms amid such stumbling singing.

In Mann's room, he couldn't sleep. He was lying on the bed with one hand behind his head, holding the gold coin given to him by Hiskama.Gold coins also shone golden in the dark, perhaps to him this was the most eye-catching color.

There was a little smile on the corner of his mouth. He felt that he was gradually approaching his ideal. He started to embark on the business road and made his first business.Although the business was a bit weird, it is undeniable that he made money.

The gold coin in his hand made him feel heavy in his palm, and this feeling made him feel at ease, just like the feeling when his father put a gold coin into his hand for the first time.

This thing can buy all the commodities in the world.

This was what his father told him, and he also believed in it, but Mann didn't realize that he remembered a word wrong.His father was talking about all commodities, not all things.

In Chu's room, Chu also couldn't sleep, but she didn't need to sleep in the first place.

When she doesn't use evil to perceive, her eyes are dark, nothing, nothing.And when she doesn't use evil words, she can't make any sound, can't say anything, can't speak.

She is like a soul sealed in a container, almost completely isolated from the outside world, and the only thing that can connect her to the world now, except for evil, is her hearing, which she can still hear, This makes her hearing exceptionally clear.She could hear almost any sound around her, just like now, she heard the murmur of the poet named Matt.

"Oh...my hometown, I didn't intend to leave you."

"Please don't forget me, when I come back one day, please accept me again."

There was a bit of remorse and crying in his voice, he was reluctant to give up, and the people's farewell made him even more reluctant, but he also understood that he had to leave, because those beasts had already arrived.

It's hard for anyone who has never left their hometown alone to experience this feeling, to leave the place where you grew up and know in your heart that it may no longer exist, and all your memories of it will disappear with it.

Matt whispered to his native land over and over again until he fell into a deep sleep.

In the room, Chu leaned against the wall and raised his head.

Hometown, if she hadn't recovered her previous memories, she might not have any feeling for this word.But now, she still couldn't help but think of her past.

Her hometown should have forgotten her, and she probably won't go back.

She wants to redeem her sins here, maybe she can go back one day, but on the day she redeems her sins.

But when will she be able to atone for her sins, she thought, it should be when there is no more crime in this world.

······
At night, the bright moonlight hangs high in the sky, half covered by thin clouds, looming.

In the barren wasteland, a wild beast is biting the corpse of a wild beast. It swallows the flesh and blood without paying any attention to the wounds on its body.

In fact, if she had a closer look at this place called the Desolate Land, she would find that it was very similar to the Apostle Wasteland.The beasts here, like those candidates for the apostle, fight each other for survival.

The difference is that only one messenger can survive, and after the beasts here have killed each other to a certain extent, they will reach a subtle agreement to attack human cities together and start preying on humans.

The wild beast on the wasteland buried its head and gnawed on the corpse, with blood on the corner of its mouth, and at this moment, a roar came from the distant wilderness.

This roar was very far away but could still be clearly heard by every wild beast. It was so resounding that it was enough to convince the wild beasts in the whole wasteland.

After hearing the roar, the beast that was still eating the corpse stopped. It raised its head to look in the direction of the roar, hesitated for a while, and walked in that direction.

At the same time, most of the beasts in the wasteland began to gather in the direction of the sound.

At night in the middle of autumn, beasts began to gather, and the city of Hiskama was about to face the worst war.

······
When the morning sun passed through the clouds, it was still a little gray.The sky is covered with brownish-yellow dust, and this place is really barren.

Hiskama's soldiers stood on the top of the city, looking at the gray-yellow wilderness far below the city.

When there are no beasts, the barren land is like this, empty and monotonous, with one color everywhere.

Throughout the autumn, the city of Hiskama was on alert, even when there were no wild beasts attacking, there would always be a large number of soldiers stationed at the top of the city.

A sentry stands on a sentry tower, holding a telescope and looking into the distance.

He looked along the edge of the wilderness, and suddenly he saw a black spot at the end of the wilderness as far as he could see.He froze for a moment, and then more and more black spots appeared in the sky under the grayish-yellow sunlight in the morning.

The sentinel's pupils contracted slightly, and his body froze in place, but he quickly reacted, ran to the alarm bell on the sentry tower and rang the bell.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

The loud alarm bell echoed on the city walls, even the residents of the city could hear it.Some walked to the window and looked out at the city wall, some locked the door tightly, and some found the weapons at home and put them beside them.

On the city wall, the soldiers took up their weapons and shields and gathered at the top of the city. A leader stood under the sentry tower and looked at the sentry on the sentry tower, shouting.

"Is the herd coming, how many are there, and how long is the preparation time!?"

On the sentry tower, the sentry swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said loudly to the people below the tower with a panicked expression.

"It's not a herd of beasts, it's a tide of beasts! The tide of beasts is coming!"

A beast tide is different from a herd of beasts. A herd of beasts is just a group of wild beasts gathered together. Generally speaking, the number is only a few hundred to a few thousand, which is still within the controllable range.Most of the beasts that attacked Hiskama before were just herds.

The beast tide is an attack launched by the beast king of the barren land gathering all the beasts. The number will never whisper tens of thousands, and sometimes even tens of thousands.

This number of beasts is already enough to threaten the city of Hiskama.

The leader of the soldiers under the sentry tower lost his mind for a moment, then reacted immediately, grabbed a soldier beside him and said.

"Immediately notify the city lord, and prepare the whole city for battle!"
