Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

Secondly, I'm still eating here, and if you leave I won't be familiar with the place and it will be inconvenient."

After Suika finished speaking, John touched his head awkwardly.

He knew what the other party said, but he was so excited to hear the "truth" that he lost himself in the process.

Suika's words calmed him down.

"You're right. I'll have to resign after this incident." John thanked Suika while sitting opposite her.

"I'm afraid of you, too. You might shout something out in excitement and then regret it when you calm down. Don't act impulsively!" After drinking the last sip of the hot milk, Suixiang stood up and patted her belly.

Chapter 504: Wilderness Survivor Suixiang

After Suika finished eating, the two walked out the door together.

"Ms. Suixiang, what are your plans next? If you want to study the environment after the natural disaster here, I can help you clear out an empty room in the north."

John looked at Suika.

Suika, who thought she would stay here temporarily to continue her research on natural disasters, shook her head.

"Let's leave these matters to our colleagues. George will definitely be willing to study the situation after this natural disaster.

I won’t compete for this topic.”

After saying that, Suika looked towards the south

"My front is to the south, be ready and leave in a moment!"

"South, you mean Iberia?" John frowned.

Everyone knows there's another country to the south, but no one has ever set foot there.

The former glory of Iberia is still remembered by everyone.

Everyone in Rem Billiton knew that Iberia had thought about occupying Rem Billiton.

It's just that they were unfamiliar with this land and were repelled by natural disasters.

If they leave Rembilt and are away from the protection of natural disasters, the strength of Rembilt people will not be enough to be considered in the Terra countries.

So John was a little worried when he heard that Suika was going south.

"Don't worry, I'm pretty strong. If you can't beat me, you can still run away.

Besides, my goal is to travel around Terra, not to make enemies everywhere.

No matter how unreasonable the Iberians are, they can't possibly chase a common person like me to the ends of the earth."

Suika smiled and adjusted her small bag.

"Wait a minute!" Seeing Suika was about to leave, John stopped her and ran to a room not far away.

Soon he ran back to Suika with a very old map.

"This map is a topographical map of Iberia drawn by my grandfather and his family before anything happened there.

Although it's been a long time, I think it might be of some help to you."

Suika took the map and compared it with the one given by Rhodes Island. This map was indeed much more detailed.

But as he said, due to time reasons, there are certain errors in the markings in some places.

But this didn't have much impact on Suika.

On the contrary, this map was created before the Great Silence and does have important reference value.

For example, on this map, Suika saw the symbol of a church on the border between Lateran and Iberia, and she had a hunch that this church was the target of the commission she had accepted.

After thanking John, Suika left the town and continued walking south.

The border between Iberia and Rem is vague, with a large buffer zone in the middle.

The reason for this buffer zone is simple. These areas are the territories of Iberia during its most glorious period. Although the terrain is a bit poor and prone to natural disasters, Iberia, as a powerful country, does not care about this loss.

But after the Great Silence, the Iberians abandoned this place because, facing internal and external difficulties, they had no time to manage this poor and barren land.

REM Billiton, on the other hand, did not dare to take it back, for fear that Iberia would regain its former glory one day and use this excuse to fight back.

In the eyes of the people at REM Billiton, that place is not a good one, and the mineral resources there are poor. Taking it back would offend a powerful country, so it would not be worth it no matter how you look at it.

So this buffer zone where no one is in power was formed.

Before coming here, Suika would have thought that this place would be a criminal's paradise like in the novels.

After all, there is a Syracuse not far away, where gangs are rampant.

But in fact, the desolation and remoteness of this place made Suixiang think that she had come to an uninhabited area.

Apart from mosquitoes, fleas, and various tenacious wild animals, there is no trace of human habitation here.

Suika walked into a completely deserted village with disdain. Although it was less than sixty years since the Great Silence of Iberia (the Great Silence occurred in 1038), the desolation here looked as if it had been eroded for hundreds of years.

The walls and roof were covered with all kinds of vines, and the rotten branches and dead leaves on the ground were full of densely packed small insects.

When you step on it, there is a "crunching" sound.

At first, Suika tried to "measure the earth" with her feet, but later she couldn't stand the nausea of swarms of mosquitoes flying in her face when she stepped on the ground, so she changed to flying.

Flying in the air, she was still annoyed by the various flying insects. Finally, she got angry and increased her density, creating a high temperature that killed the mosquitoes in the surrounding area, thus solving the problem.

"This damn place, I'm afraid even the pioneers from Colombia wouldn't want to come here."

After landing on a relatively clean rocky beach, Cuixiang crushed a few foolish fleas that came out from the side before starting to prepare dinner for herself.

And her dinner was the leg meat of these fleas.

You should know that grilled flea legs are a specialty of Terra.

After finishing her meal, Suika sat on a large rock.

Sparks kept flashing around. These sparks came from those brainless and ignorant mosquitoes that rushed up without thinking when they sensed a living being on top of the stone and were then burned by the flames.

She yawned, took out an eye mask, put it on, and fell asleep on the stone.

The next morning, she was woken up by Shanghai.

When I woke up, I saw Shanghai pointing anxiously at a place not far away.

She looked over and saw a split beast lying beside the river not far away.

Judging from the blood all over its head, it was probably dead with its brain open.

And this wound was obviously from the lance charge in Shanghai.

At this time, there were several cautious tooth beasts around the crack beast.

Attracted by the smell of blood, they are trying to get close to the Rift Beast to confirm whether it is dead so that they can become their meal today.

In an instant, Suixiang understood what Shanghai meant.

She lifted herself up high and jumped into the middle of the beasts.

"How dare you, you poor beast, steal my food?"

Seeing Suika suddenly appear, these fang beasts were frightened and scattered around.

After discovering that the creatures that appeared looked about the same height as themselves, these fang beasts looked as if insulted, and after a burst of howls, they pounced towards Suixiang.

"Well, you dare to fight back!"

Suika shook her head and the thin chain tied to her head fell down and turned into two five-meter-long iron chains.

She grabbed one in each hand and whipped it at the fang beasts.

With the sharp sound of breaking wind, any beast that was touched was torn to pieces instantly.

Just like the saying about the golden hoop

"If you touch it, you will die; if you rub it, you will be injured"

In less than a minute, all the more than ten fang beasts were strangled to death by the iron chains without a single survivor.

Suika retracted the chain with satisfaction, then walked towards the beast and swallowed.

"Hehe, it's been a while since I've eaten roasted beast's feet..."

Chapter 505: A Strange Town

Suixiang looked at her small bag and frowned.

It would take quite a few spices to get the roasted beast paw she wanted.

She had some in her bag, but it wasn't enough.

She took out a small notebook beside her, in which she recorded the appearance and production environment of various spices.

I don't know if there is any here, but I can only try my luck.

After cutting off the four legs of the split beast and simply washing them in a river not far away to remove the odor, Cuixiang carried the four limbs of the split beast and walked towards the southwest.

Three hours later, just when Suika was about to give up and decide to just eat the Split Beast Leg, she suddenly saw a wisp of smoke rising from a cooking stove in the distance.

For a moment, she couldn't help but burst into tears, and a feeling of being surrounded by mountains and rivers and thinking there was no way out, but suddenly she found a new village with willows and flowers came to her heart.

The presence of fireworks proves that there are people living there. If there are people living there, even if there are only one or two households here, there must be a village nearby.

After all, here in Terra, unless you have the strength of Big Bob, it is not possible for one person to live in the wilderness.

Humming a little tune, he took a step and skipped to a high ground.

Suixiang looked down and found that it was a small mountain village.

There are high mountains to the east, west and south of the village, but the north side where I came from is relatively flat.

There is a large lake at the intersection of three mountains, and the village is built next to this lake.

After looking at the terrain, a hint of surprise flashed in Suixiang's eyes.

But now she just wanted to add some seasoning. There were a lot of troubles in Iberia, not just this one, so she didn't want to care and couldn't.

After patting her face, she walked towards the mountain village.

More than ten minutes later she arrived outside the mountain village.

Because she took the main road and did not hide, her arrival should have been known long ago.

But I clearly saw people walking on the street just now, but when I got closer, there was no one to be seen on the streets of the village.

Moreover, the chimneys of the households that were still living and cooking were also extinguished.

So, the people here are so afraid of contact with the outside world?

Suika curled her lips and continued walking towards the village.

She could feel that from the corners of the windows of every house in the village, pairs of eyes were staring at her.

And some of the gazes there made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Is anyone there?" Walking to the foot of a big tree at the entrance of the village, Suixiang looked at the closed doors around her and shouted.

No one responded.

She continued walking into the village and soon came to a small square.

She glanced around and pretended not to notice the hostile looks around her and continued shouting.

"Is there anyone here?"

Still no one responded.

Seeing this, Suixiang walked towards a building that looked like a restaurant without hesitation.

As she reached the door of the building, she heard noises coming from inside.

"Ding ding ding!" Suixiang stood at the door and knocked politely.

"Hello, is anyone in there?"

Even though she could clearly hear the noise inside, she still asked very politely.

silence…

"Please God, I'll find some spices here after I go around."

After saying that, Suixiang walked towards the end of the village without looking back.

"How about we throw some spices out?" someone said hesitantly.
