This time I chose Paladin

Nie Weiyang couldn't help but look at the person who was speaking. He was an official from the Ministry of Culture.

Facts have proven that it is necessary for cultural people to study culture...

The overall appearance of Administrator No. 2 is both sacred and terrifying, both human and inhuman. At first glance, it reminds people of the uniforms of many military forces on Earth.

As for why it was that style? He didn't know. Anyway, the outfit that the system showed as 'most compatible' was this one. And he figured, well, since things have come to this point, it's better to be full of hatred than just plain ordinary—so he readily accepted it.

From the looks people gave him, he could tell that the effect was indeed very good.

It’s so good, so amazing.

Of course, half of the deterrent here comes from the text introduction of Administrator No. 2.

Although he filled in the introduction himself, Nie Weiyang did not play word games or lie.

With his spiritual attributes, he uses the fragments of the Mind Prism, which is a simple mechanism with extreme values. From armor penetration to instant death, as long as he wants, there is nothing he can't do to the current players.

Is there a chance of triggering instant death?

It depends on your mood!

In this light, the "sacred and terrifying" dressing style of Administrator No. 2 seems to make sense.

"We are all Homo sapiens, and we all know that once the shelter is put into use, it will inevitably be managed in a military manner. So, the shelter administrators wear military-designed equipment..."

"Well, that's possible. But doesn't it look more like a military uniform to you? And he's wearing a sash. Is there anyone here who doesn't know what a sash means?"

In Homo sapiens culture, a ribbon is a belt used to hang medals, awards, and medals, and is a symbol of achievement. However, according to international conventions on Earth, ribbons are hung from right to left.

"That ribbon has no decorations, only gold thread... and a gold edging," Nie Weiyang reminded him, then changed the subject: "I don't think the position of the second administrator is the most important thing right now."

"Indeed." The others replied.

Nie Weiyang nodded slightly, his expression serious. "The most important thing now is to return to the sect. I need to set out immediately to find the second administrator. If I can communicate with him and influence his actions, I will try to bring him to the Zhongzhou Bone Sacrifice Court..."

"No." Liang Zhenduan said, "Now, your task is to get some sleep."

Nie Weiyang was slightly stunned: "...Hmm?"

"You came to Gushi today, exhausted and barely rested." Liang Zhenduan smiled helplessly. "A normal person needs rest. Your bloodline is only Night Heron, so even if you have a hidden profession, you still need to rest. What's more, we still need to collect intelligence, verify information, and investigate the interpersonal relationships of those people. This all takes time, Mr. Nie."

"..." Nie Weiyang was silent for two seconds, then replied calmly, "Okay, you're right."

Liang Zhenduan must have noticed that there was something wrong with his bloodline. His injuries recovered too quickly, and he occasionally showed his fangs when he spoke. This was a phenomenon that Nie Weiyang had no intention of concealing.

This kind of thing cannot be covered up.

But the other party is not going to expose this matter. This is good news. Both sides are showing goodwill to each other. Nie Weiyang gave too much secret information, so the other party will tacitly keep Nie Weiyang's secrets.

From now on, Nie Weiyang's bloodline is Night Heron.

Although Night Heron Paladins sound strange, Vampire Paladins don't seem to be much better...

"I'll arrange a place for you to stay." Liang Zhenduan said as he was about to call someone in.

"No need." Nie Weiyang shook his head slowly, "I live outside the city."

"It's not safe outside the city..."

Nie Weiyang just smiled, and his sharp fangs flashed between his lips - no matter where he lived, the dangerous ones were the monsters there, not himself.

Besides, he was leaving tomorrow. He also needed to find a way to improve the efficiency of connecting to the shelter, which would also expand the scope of the Second Administrator's operations. The Second Administrator had too many tasks to handle, and Nie Weiyang couldn't stay in one place...

Nie Weiyang recalled the way he came and chose a suitable location.

"I won't always be around the old city, but my camp in the old city will be halfway up the mountain in the north." He said, "As long as I'm here, there will be a sign hanging in front of my camp..."

He rummaged through his backpack and pulled out the original heavy stabbing sword [Whisper] and a piece of soft red cloth.

He wrapped Whisper in red cloth and showed it to everyone. The silver blade gleamed between the red cloth, and the gems sparkled in the candlelight.

"Hang this," he said. "If you're not here for a while, hang an iron shield."

"Okay." Liang Zhenduan nodded.

They all knew Nie Weiyang wouldn't stay here forever; they just didn't expect him to leave so soon. While it wasn't like he wouldn't return, it still felt a bit dazed, as if Nie Weiyang's arrival was just part of a long journey. In his eyes, Gushi wasn't just a city, but a larger rest stop. But they knew that in Nie Weiyang's eyes, they, and everyone else outside this meeting room, were all "human beings" and "fellow citizens."

I heard this guy has a very fast motorcycle...

With justice in mind, devote all your efforts, ride at high speed, and travel around.

Is this the 'Paladin'? Or is it just Nie Weiyang himself who is destined to become this kind of person?

If this were Earth, such a person would be called stupid.

But this is a new world.

The new world needs just such a knight.

Liang Zhenduan and the others watched Nie Weiyang turn and leave. He suddenly said, "Nie Weiyang, one last question.

"—Why did you do that?"

It’s finally raining! If it doesn’t rain again, I’m going to look up a rain-making tutorial (hey, there’s no such tutorial).

My job is not to write, I have been fighting on the top of the canvas these days, so the update time may be a little delayed, sorry sorry

Chapter 106 Frozen People's Hearts

"I want to," Nie Weiyang said, "and I can."

I come, I see, I think, I can.

So Easy.

"You clearly have more to offer. You could exploit information disparities to profit, demanding obedience and obedience from the people, like those local tyrants out there. This is a much simpler approach. You know we can't do anything to a strong person like you right now."

Liang Zhenduan didn't say these words. He just asked: "What kind of person do you want to be? A warrior? A general? Or... a savior?"

"There's no such thing as a savior?" Nie Weiyang laughed. "There has never been a savior."

He opened the door. The darkness outside tried to sneak in, but the light slipped past him, leaving a blurry line on the ground.

"I've never thought about doing favors for anyone, Mr. Liang," Nie Weiyang said. "When favors are piled on top of each other, people will be crushed. There are many things in this world that I'm happy to see, but this is the only thing I can't stand."

His voice dropped, but it was not a sign of giving up, but an invisible expression of strength.

"Humanity came together to this new world, not to fight among ourselves. Only by working together can we overcome this hardship!"

Nie Weiyang left. The wooden door closed behind him with a dull thud, and light and darkness separated once again. The figure walked into the darkness, his way of stepping into the night so familiar, as if he had done it countless times before.

But at a certain moment, Liang Zhenduan had an illusion, as if the departing figure was not sinking into the darkness, but was cutting through the darkness and burning the darkness.

He was silent for a long time, and so were the other people in the conference room. The faces of the men and women were all confused, as if for these people who had been in high positions before the end of the world, a simple answer like "I think" was more glaring than an incandescent light.

Liang Zhenduan stared at the crack in the door. Light flowed out from the gap, illuminating a shallow area of ​​land outside the door.

Darkness cannot be stopped; it exists forever. In the silent darkness, light is the only visitor. And the only thing that can be stopped is light.

So... don't try to block out the darkness.

Go and light the light and clear away the obstacles that hinder it.

In this way, the darkness will naturally retreat.

"...our attitude towards Nie Weiyang needs to be adjusted," he said. "We still need to be wary of his hidden bloodline, but our trust in him can be increased. Of course, the information still needs to be verified..."

He paused, making a decision.

"Cooperate with him as much as possible regarding the return to the sect and the former civilization!"

In the 21st century, the bonds between people have long since frozen, leaving everyone an island, embraced only by the ocean of civilized society. In this new world, these islands must be reunited, but the years of frozen ice and the unfamiliar darkness of today make people even more uneasy and wary of each other.

Nie Weiyang brought not only information, but also a possibility.

He built a bonfire that burned in the darkness and placed ice that had not melted for years on it.

Can a fire melt an entire ice sheet?

——This is not a fairy tale, so it can’t.

But can the ice sheet just act as if “nothing happened”?

——This is not a fable, so it cannot.

"We need to cooperate, we need to unite, all of humanity."

These words sounded like a horn, coming from someone's mouth.

"I know what he's going to do—"

"Series," said another.

"Link," someone else said.

But the question also arises: "Can humans today still do this? Unite with strangers just for a certain future, a certain ideal?"

"Yes." Liang Zhenduan's voice was heavy and powerful.

He raised his eyes and scanned the entire conference room.

"I'm sure we can," he repeated. "Now is the critical moment for our survival. It's time for us to shoulder our responsibilities. Zhongzhou is well connected, just like Chuzhou. We must connect all the places and open up roads...

“…Our ancestors have conquered the mountains and rivers of the earth, and our predecessors have connected the most remote corners.

"Now, it's just one more time!"

……

It was already late at night when Nie Weiyang set up camp.

As they were going to set off again tomorrow, he slowed down his thinking for the first time in a long time. He just hammered the wooden stakes into the ground to form a fence for the new camp in the cave, and brought in some big rocks to press down the tent.

This is a spacious dark blue tent, covering an area of ​​five square meters. It even has a small bedroom and a living room, and has transparent windows. As long as it is well maintained, it can be used for a long time.

After spreading medicine to repel snakes and insects in the cave, Nie Weiyang lit a fire under the ceiling in front of the tent. He crawled out while listening to rustling sounds from all directions, rubbing his hands in an attempt to warm his slightly low body temperature.

As a half-vampire, his body temperature is lower than that of ordinary people, making him less resistant to cold. If the temperature drops below a certain level, his limbs will be affected. However, he is also a paladin, his body filled with divine power. This power has not yet conflicted with his bloodline, but when he uses skills, it is best not to let them touch him.

His current state is very strange, half-dead, both orderly and chaotic, both bright and dark. He seems to be in full control, but in fact he is vulnerable to all kinds of attacks. If he gets involved in any melee, I'm afraid he will have to fight everyone by himself.

Speaking of chaos… It has been four months since the end of the world, and some capable people must have left their original places and started wandering around.

Nie Weiyang was looking forward to this.

He lived a secluded life in his previous life, but he wasn't without friends. He had more people who shared a deep understanding with him, and they were basically all lone rangers. Many of them had the word "holy" in their job titles, and there were even two extremely rare Paladins among them—generally speaking, Paladins died in the early to mid-game...
