Just a magical girl who picks up trash

The struggling human figure covered his left hand, which was bandaged like a dumpling, with both hands. However, in the next second, the sudden howl gradually turned into a beast-like cry. At the same time, silver-white light was visibly applied to the gauze, and then infected his whole body little by little.

“Ho ho ho~~~”

It took only a few seconds for it to completely transform into a beast. Even the people around it didn't react. When someone came to their senses, all they heard was a shrill scream:

“Ahhh~~ No…don’t…let me go, let me go ahhhhhh~~~”

With its open mouth, it bit fiercely on the shoulder of a young girl beside it. If it weren't for the spurting blood and the spreading silver-white liquid, this would undoubtedly be a very erotic scene. However, what filled people's eyes was only... fear and terror!

"No~~"

"I don't want to die~~~"

"Run... run~~~"

Screams were accompanied by chaotic sounds, as if this was not the first time. The people who were originally around immediately scattered and ran in all directions. At the same time, with Zhao Tian's expression changing drastically, several figures appeared two meters away from the biter and the bitten in the next second. Each of them was holding a rope tightly, and the next second they decisively put the rope around the two of them.

“Wuwuwu~~~Ahhhhhhhh~~~”

He tore at the flesh in front of him, letting the silvery-white liquid spread from his skin to the other person's skin and infect both of them. The moment the rope was connected to his body, it was as if he had found an outlet, and the next second the silver liquid spread towards the rope without hesitation.

"Move quickly!"

The leader seemed to let out an anxious roar, and the next second everyone nodded in unison. As the ropes tightly locked the two figures, the next second everyone handed the ropes to one of them.

"Drink~~"

With a loud shout, the muscles of the man holding all the ropes in his hands began to swell the next second. It was obvious that he was a person with enhanced physical abilities. A huge force instantly came from his hands, and the next second, before the ropes were about to approach him, he swung them hard into the distance.

"Boom~~~"

With a loud noise, the two men were thrown into the distance along with the rope. Only after all this was done did the people around them calm down a little.

At the same time, the team that suddenly appeared seemed to be relieved. The man in the lead waved his hand to let his men leave. When he was about to leave, he turned around the next second and saw... Zhao Tian?

"Captain Zhao?"

He shouted uncertainly because of the mask he was wearing, and it was this shout that brought Zhao Tian back to his senses, who had just had an expression of "Who am I, where am I, what happened?" Looking at the man walking towards him, Zhao Tian only thought for a moment before remembering his name:

"Captain Liu, why are you here? Didn't you go to the hermit village?"

The hermit village above the scavengers is said to have existed before the Mirror Destruction Day. It possesses magical powers different from magic and superpowers. It can be said that it is the only existence of the Scavengers Alliance that can be compared with the other two major forces.

The Captain Liu in front of him was summoned by the hermit village about a year ago and entered the hermit village to practice. This matter was envied by many people in the circle at that time, including Zhao Tian.

He never expected to see the other person here. Although strictly speaking, Zhao Tian and the other person were not very familiar with each other, they had only met a few times when scavenging, but since the other party came up to say hello, he naturally could not ignore him.

"Hey~~Don't mention it, aren't we just here to carry out a mission?"

With a bit of helplessness, he spread his hands towards Zhao Tian. It was obvious that meeting an acquaintance made Captain Liu feel a lot more relaxed. He immediately walked over and bumped fists with Zhao Tian. Without waiting for Zhao Tian to ask, he decisively said:

"Come on, come on, since you're here, come in and have a drink. I know what you want to ask, come in and tell me!"

This sentence stopped Zhao Tian from saying anything. At Liu Feng's invitation, he followed him to a small tent not far away. Xia Yu followed silently behind him. However, Liu Feng turned his head slightly to look at the figure wrapped in a black robe. A strange color flashed in his eyes.

The tent was not big and not gorgeous. After the three people walked in and sat down, there was basically not much space left. Of course, no one would be picky about these things in such an environment. As soon as they entered the tent, Liu Feng warmly entertained Zhao Tian and the others. Not only did he take out food and water, but he also told Zhao Tian what he wanted to know most.

"Where should I even begin... Well, let me ask Captain Zhao first."

"what's up?"

"Did you see that? That silver liquid?"

“…Yeah, I see!”

"...From your expression, it seems like this is not the first time you've seen this thing. What happened?"

"...There's nothing to hide. We originally planned to explore the Fog City this time, but we didn't expect..."

Before Liu Feng could explain, Zhao Tian had already told him the situation here. Liu Feng, who was listening, first widened his eyes, and then his face became serious.

122.Solicitation

It started about three days ago, when Zhao Tian and others had just left the nearest camp and rushed to the Fog City.

Without any warning, changes suddenly broke out in many ruins that were originally being developed or had already been developed!

At first, the strange beasts became violent for some unknown reason, almost killing anyone they saw and fighting until death. This put countless scavengers in crisis. Then, the natural disasters that had been spreading in countless ruins or deserts suddenly disappeared one day.

There was no sign at all, it just disappeared without a trace. The thunder, storm, gale, hail, rain and other things that filled the sky above the ruins all disappeared suddenly for no apparent reason.

Such a huge change obviously attracted the attention of the Scavengers Alliance. Not only them, but even the hermit villages seemed to have received some kind of revelation. In an instant, countless high-level scavengers who were summoned to the hermit villages to practice were all dispatched, with the goal of investigating this strange phenomenon.

However, the results of the investigation are naturally needless to say. Instead, as time goes by, the changes are further expanded:

The beast tide, known as one of the three major natural disasters in the ruins, broke out suddenly. This time it was no longer a small situation where strange beasts ran rampant in a certain city or ruins. Instead, in at least hundreds of ruins, countless strange beasts began to riot and form a beast tide. At the same time, they also began to attack the countless scavenger villages around them unconditionally as if they had gone crazy.

In just one day, more than a hundred scavenger villages were destroyed, and countless scavengers and civilians died. Not only that, not long after that, 'that'... broke out!

Silver disease, this is a symptom that Zhao Tian heard from Liu Feng, and it is also a source of disaster.

At some point, the silver liquid gushed out from the ruins and occupied one ruined city after another. It not only ruthlessly devoured everything in them, but also spared no one the strange beasts and scavengers who originally lived in them. Basically, no one has ever seen a single creature that was swallowed up come out alive.

That kind of silver is extremely terrifying. Any energy or materialized attack facing the silver will only be swallowed up and increase its power. And as more and more power is absorbed, the expansion of the silver is also ongoing.

The only thing to be thankful for is that these silvers seemed to have no consciousness and were simply expanding without any active attacking behavior. Therefore, many strange beasts and scavengers escaped from the countless ruins.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is after returning... Because the initial outbreak of silver was too sudden or some scavengers, psychics, etc. did not take it seriously, some people wanted to destroy it at the beginning or tried to take it back for research, etc.

There are even some water-based psychics who try to control silver or something...

In short, under various thoughts, these people came into contact with the silver liquid intentionally or unintentionally, and then...

Disaster has happened!

From the moment the first creature's body began to be covered with silver markings and it began to madly bite the people around it, everything began to gradually go out of control. More importantly, the people who were bitten would also be gradually infected by the silver markings, and before long they would turn into silver-white beasts that seemed to have lost their minds.

Cases continued to appear one after another, accompanied by crazy biting attacks. In an instant, the number of people infected increased, and scavengers everywhere began to be in danger.

No matter whether it is superpowers, magic, energy weapons, physical attacks, etc., they are completely ineffective against these silver creatures. Not only that, once they touch them, whether it is weapons or anything else, they will be infected and quickly spread to their bodies. Energy attacks will also be absorbed and become the opponent's expanded power.

There was no solution at all, the 'zombies' were completely unkillable. Under this sudden attack, the scavengers undoubtedly suffered heavy losses at the beginning because they were not well prepared.

"In just four days, we've received news that hundreds of scavenger camps have been destroyed. The Scavenger Alliance has issued a warning, urging all scavengers to form teams nearby and move as close to the Alliance headquarters as possible. This disaster... is too great!"

No one understood what had happened. In just four days, the doomsday wasteland, which was already comparable to hell, underwent such earth-shaking changes.

The mysterious silver, carrying countless infected troops, began to ruthlessly erode everything in this wasteland. After Liu Feng finished describing all this, he glanced at the silent Zhao Tian and continued:

"As you saw just now, once infected with the Silver Disease, they will turn into mindless beasts and ruthlessly bite the creatures around them. In that case, all we can do is throw them out of the camp. There is no other way!"

After all, you can't touch it, you can't hit it, and it even replenishes the opponent's strength. This kind of monster with no idea what its purpose is is completely helpless!

"Aren't you afraid they might come running back?"

Throwing it out is certainly an option, but even if the power-type mutant uses all his strength, he can't throw it far after all. In this case, if the opponent rushes back, obviously no one can stop him!

"Of course I know that!"

Liu Feng obviously knew how stupid his previous method was, so he had already thought about this and immediately said to Zhao Tian:

"Originally, this was just a delaying tactic. Right now, the entire camp is actually packing up and preparing to move to the next camp and then head to the Scavengers Alliance headquarters."

Having said this, Liu Feng immediately stated his purpose under Zhao Tian's pensive expression:

"So, you want to come with us? Captain Zhao!"

Zhao Tian was very clear about his strength. His purpose in saying so much was obviously to win him over to join his team and escort everyone in the camp to the Scavengers Alliance headquarters. Zhao Tian felt that as a scavenger, it was his duty to do so. He immediately opened his mouth to agree, but the words on his lips paused for a second. After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke in front of Liu Feng's expectant eyes:

"Sorry, let me think about it!"

123. Dangerous

Zhao Tian did not agree to Liu Feng immediately, which made the other party a little disappointed, but he did not force him. Instead, he thoughtfully arranged a tent for him to live in and then went to deal with other things.

Obviously, there were more than just Zhao Tian who came here as scavengers. Many of them had fled from other places and were waiting for him to take them in and win them over.

Zhao Tian didn't seem to care about this and took Xia Yu to a tent. Only when he was sure that there was no one around did his eyes finally fall on Xia Yu, who was wrapped in a black robe.

"Xiaoyu, why did you stop me just now?"

That's right, Zhao Tian originally wanted to agree to Liu Feng's recruitment. After all, in the current situation, not to mention that it is safer to act with a team, escorting civilians is an obligation for scavengers, not to mention that all of Zhao Tian's team members were swallowed by that damn silver. No matter what, he wanted to return to the scavenger alliance first and then try his best to find a way to eliminate the silver!

However, just when he was about to speak, Xia Yu's hint suddenly came from behind him. Out of trust in Xia Yu, he did not immediately accept Liu Feng's invitation, but said that he needed to think about it.

In view of the fact that the other team was completely wiped out, Liu Feng did not say much. He just said that he could come to him when he figured it out. Zhao Tian here was obviously waiting for Xia Yu to give him an answer.

"Danger!"

These two simple and easy-to-understand words immediately made Zhao Tian's face change color. He looked straight at Xia Yu and was silent for a long time before asking:

"The danger is... Liu Feng's invitation or... him himself?"

If it was an invitation from the other party, it would be understandable. After all, in the case of the strange silver disease, large-scale migration of people underground would be extremely difficult, not to mention that there might be guys with silver on them lurking among them.

However, if Liu Feng is dangerous... then it would obviously be intriguing.

"He... is dangerous!"

The words were light and his eyes without any fluctuations were staring straight at Zhao Tianxia. Although he didn't say anything, at this moment Zhao Tian obviously understood what the other party meant: Believe me!

"oh, I understand now!"

Xia Yu wouldn't harm him, and she had no reason to. Zhao Tian obviously trusted Xia Yu much more than Liu Feng, a random scavenger he had just met. Although he didn't know why Xiao Yu said that the other party was dangerous, since she said so, then...

"We're leaving tonight, don't stay!"

Although Baiyin is still far away, no one knows when the other party will expand again. This situation is like a time bomb and obviously cannot make people feel at ease. What really worries Zhao Tian at the moment is... where should they go?

The headquarters of the Scavengers' Union?

Zhao Tian's first plan was undoubtedly there, but when he thought about it carefully, not to mention how far it was from the headquarters, just listening to Liu Feng's information, he didn't know how many city ruins corroded by silver he would encounter along the way. It could be said that it was full of dangers.

Tianta City, Demon Realm... If Zhao Tian thinks that the only safe places for those silver coins are outside the headquarters, then these are the only two places left. So if he needs to choose one of the three places to go to... he needs to calculate the distance!

"Ding~~"

Do it as you think. Under the light blue light, Zhao Tian instantly unfolded the electronic map. Looking at the bumpy and obviously incomplete map, after determining his position, Zhao Tian's gaze immediately fell on Tianta City, Demon Realm and the Scavengers Alliance Headquarters.

The wilderness is too dangerous nowadays, and we must find a town to hide in as soon as possible. At present, these three places are undoubtedly the safest. After carefully comparing the distances of these three places, Zhao Tian couldn't help but show a somewhat depressed look.

I don’t know if it’s fate, but even the nearest Demon Realm is at least a thousand kilometers away from them. There are also many ruined cities along the way... Among them, it is inevitable that there will be cities corroded by silver!

There are three roads, none of which is safe, and none of which is close. Looking at these three roads, Zhao Tian obviously has no choice but to choose one of them. Just as he was frowning about this, a white finger suddenly stretched out and gently touched a blank area near the map.

"Ok?"

Xia Yu's sudden extension of his hand obviously made Zhao Tian slightly stunned. After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Xia Yu who was pointing at the map, with a questioning look in his eyes.

That part of the map was completely blank. Not to mention a city, there weren't even any ruins. So, where was Xiaoyu pointing to?

"Here, Tianyu City!"

Simple words told Zhao Tian the reason for going here. Zhao Tian compared the distance and found that the journey there was at least half the distance than the other three places. He thought about it and finally nodded.

"Okay then, let's go to Tianyu City!"

It just so happened that the person Xia Yu was looking for seemed to be there, and she had been to Tianyu City before. Zhao Tian didn't need to doubt whether she would give him the wrong way. He nodded mysteriously and the two made a decision. Of course, they didn't act immediately. After all, there was still some chaos outside. Xia Yu had said that Liu Feng's words were not trustworthy. Therefore, out of the caution of a scavenger, Zhao Tian was also prepared to wait until late at night to leave!

"Let's take a short break first. No matter what Liu Feng's intention is, at least he won't take action right now!"

The other party must have invited me for a purpose. Although I don’t know what it is, it at least proves that they are safe now.

"Ok!"

Nodding slightly, Xia Yu walked straight to a corner of the tent and sat there quietly, looking like he was resting. As for Zhao Tian, ​​after taking a look, he shook his head with a glint of pity in his eyes, and then he sat down near the door of the tent, leaning against a pillar on one side, ready to spend the night like this.

……

He fell asleep unknowingly. In his dream, Zhao Tian seemed to be back in the white fog. Behind him, a silver-white wave kept surging towards him. No matter how hard Zhao Tian tried to escape, he could not escape the other side's bloody mouth. At the moment when he was about to be swallowed...

"?!"

He suddenly opened his eyes. In the dark environment, a pair of deep blue eyes were so obvious at night. A hand gently patted his shoulder. Xia Yu, who was sitting next to him, seemed to be excited because Zhao Tian woke up. She immediately said to him:

"It's late... time to go!"

124. Resolution

"Baiyin's actions are very quick..."

In the light screen, the originally blue map visible to the naked eye is being invaded by little white spots. Although those spots are very small from the outside, almost as small as sesame seeds, they are distributed very densely. Coupled with the trend of their continuous expansion, it is obvious that it is not only enough for Tianyu City to detect, but even the three major forces have seen the existence of silver without exception.
