Night Falls: I Kill Through the Wasteland with My Entries

Chapter 130 Breaking Dawn
The next day, Su Ding and Dong San went out at dawn.

"Our organization is named Dawn, which means the first ray of light in the sky. We hope that one day, human beings will return to normal life." On the way, Dong San told Su Ding the history of the organization.

After the disaster, a man found a manual on radio technology. Intrigued, he used the materials at hand to make a radio communication tool.

Later, by chance, this person became an awakened person, and when he was being hunted by the city, he met other awakened people.

He gave the radio communication tools to other awakened people.

Through radio contact, his relationship with other awakened people gradually became closer, and they formed an organization called Dawn, hoping to give ordinary people more hope.

With Dong San's introduction, Su Ding gradually learned about the organizational structure of Dawn.

It mainly consists of formal members, candlelight and candlesticks.

Formal members are selected from awakened people who have combat capabilities and are able to fight.

Candlelight is an awakener with relatively weak combat power and is more of a supporting type.

Candlesticks are different from official members and candlelight. Most of them are ordinary people, and their main job is to provide convenience to candlelight and official members.

"By the way, you have to wear a mask when you go there this time." At this time, Dong San thought of something and took out a mask from his backpack.

"Do you still need to hide yourself in the organization?" Su Ding looked at Dong San and asked.

Dong San was silent for a moment, then said, "Although our organization has developed very well, there are still many other stronger organizations in this world.

These organizations rose rapidly after the catastrophe and developed faster than ours. Many of them are very wary of our organization and often insert spies into our organization."

"Are there many powerful organizations?" Su Ding paused slightly. He felt that he knew too little about this world.

Dong San looked at Su Ding and said, "In this world, being a good person will always give you less than being a bad person. Some people who have no bottom line can often obtain better resources. Therefore, some extreme organizations are more likely to develop rapidly than our organization."

"Building bridges and repairing roads leaves no corpses, but killing people and setting fires nets you a golden belt." Listening to Dong San's words, a proverb popped up in Su Ding's mind.

"Look at Gaotian City. They use food to control the camps in the wilderness and quickly absorb the surrounding black crystals. But what they do is not bad compared to many cities.

At least, they gave the scavengers a way to survive.

In some cities, not only do they require scavengers to work, they also record their genetic data. "As long as someone in the city has a health problem and pays for it, the scavengers' internal organs will be sold," Dong San said.

"If that's the case, why do these scavengers want to have children?" Su Ding couldn't help but ask.

He could understand the way children were born in the place where he lived. When a child was five or six years old, he would be a laborer and could go pick up black crystals.

For many people, this is basically a sure win.

But why would those scavengers, whose body organs don’t even belong to them, have children?

"Because they're used to it." Dong San said, "As long as they get used to it, they won't think it's a problem."

He paused and continued, "Also, the methods used to control scavengers in every city appear to be similar, but fundamentally, there's only one method."

Su Ding looked at Dong San, waiting for him to continue.

"Hope." Dong San opened his mouth and uttered two words. "Those cities will give scavengers hope. Even if it is very slim, it can still make scavengers work hard."

At this point, he was silent for a moment, then said, "Hope is something that helps people the most, but it's also the most destructive."

Then, he slyly changed the subject and said, "We've strayed off topic. You'd better put on the mask. Hiding your appearance will be of great benefit to you."

"I understand." Su Ding nodded, picked up the mask and put it on himself.

He discovered that what Dong San gave him was actually a mask that could cover his hair and face, similar to the one he had in the small market.

It was unknown whether this was a convention or the organization's secret promotion of the small market. After taking them, Dong San led Su Ding forward in the wilderness.

Along the way, Su Ding discovered that Dong San was obviously very experienced in the wilderness, and every time before encountering a monster, he would show warning signs.

He even felt that Dong San's ability might be related to perception.

At this time, he felt a little regretful.

Why didn't he choose the entry related to induction in the first place?

If he chose this, he would be able to navigate the wilderness with ease like Dong San.

Even in ordinary times it is possible to foresee danger in advance.

However, after Su Ding thought about it, he calmed down.

Although his talent in sensing is good, his ability in space is also very strong.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

However, Su Ding took note of this matter.

If he has the chance in the future, he will create an entry on induction.

"By the way, we will stay in the wilderness for one night. Is that okay with you?" Dong San thought of something while walking on the road and asked Su Ding.

"Where are we going to spend the quiet night?" Su Ding looked at Dong San and asked.

"There was a homeless camp nearby that encountered an accident. All the people inside died, leaving behind an empty camp. There are abandoned rune stones near the camp that can keep monsters away. We will stay there for one night." Dong San said, pointing in a direction.

"How did the people in the camp die?" Su Ding paused and asked.

He thought of the homeless camp that Xiong Qian had made disappear.

Could it be that camp that the other party is talking about?
However, this doesn't make sense. After all, Dong San was talking about the past, not the recent period.

"This has nothing to do with monsters. A scavenger they captured became an awakened one. After awakening, this awakened one slaughtered everyone in the camp, including the elderly, women, children and young women." Dong San said.

Su Ding was slightly stunned. He didn't expect things to turn out like this.

But there was no ripple in his heart.

Although the awakened person acted a little cruelly, it was the other party's grudge and had nothing to do with him.

Don't persuade others to be kind to others without suffering.

He had been hunted by wanderers before and almost died.

So, he could empathize with her somewhat.

"Okay then." Su Ding nodded.

It's not like he hasn't spent quiet nights in the wilderness before.

What's more, they are in a camp, so the danger is even smaller.

Dong San nodded, and then continued forward with Su Ding.

Then we climbed over a few more mountains and finally saw the camp in a valley.
