The Lone Wolf of Tomorrow's Ark

"Ah."

With one word, Skadi blocked the conversation. This is what happens most often when getting along with her, while Phoenix smiled a little awkwardly, pinched the palm of the other party, and said:

"Then, Anita, is there anyone here who knows more? We want to inquire about something."

"Yes, Grandma Petra knows a lot of things that I don't know, she should be able to help you, hunter, singer, come with me."

After saying this, Anita began to enthusiastically take Phoenix and Skadi to meet the 'Grandma Petra' who she said knew a lot.

After Scarti and Phoenix looked at each other again, they also raised their heels. At first, it was Anita who took the initiative to talk about some "interesting" things she had encountered in her life, and Phoenix simply agreed.

However, when they came to the main road and saw those aborigines wandering on the street with dull eyes and thin figures, Phoenix asked curiously:

"Are all the people here like this?"

"Almost, everyone is worrying about the food problem every day, and the food picked up at the beach is actually not enough to eat."

"I picked it up at the beach?"

Hearing Anita's explanation, Phoenix couldn't help but feel puzzled. This is not a suitable place to catch the sea. What's more, it is impossible to feed so many people just by picking up the washed-up seafood on the shore, right?

"Aren't you relying on going out to sea to fish?"

"Going to sea? Actually, I heard Grandma Petra say that in the early days, some people did rely on fishing to support everyone, but after a long time, they couldn't catch any fish, only wet fish every day. seaweed."

"Hmm... Could it be that overfishing has caused the species in the area to disappear? Is this possible? This is the sea. How many things can be caught by human power alone... It's not right..."

The more he listened to Anita's explanation, the more Phoenix could feel the strangeness of Yanfeng City's current stage. Without fishing and harvesting seafood, how could it be guaranteed that so many people could continue to barely survive by just picking them up from the sea?

Moreover, since they can't find anything in the sea, why can they find it at the seaside? This is a complete contradiction!

Thinking of this, Phoenix was about to continue asking questions, but at this time, they had already arrived at a square, and beside an empty flowerbed with only dry soil left, there was an elderly woman sitting on a deck chair , was quietly closing his eyes and resting his mind.

"Grandma Petra! You look so energetic today, are you still here, uh, basking in the sun?"

After seeing the old man, Anita immediately ran over while saying hello, not afraid to disturb the old man, but listening to her, it seems that this is the 'Grandma Petra' whom Phoenix and the others are going to meet. .

"what……"

Hearing Anita's voice, Petra, who was still lying on the chair, let out a breath slowly, sat up a little tremblingly, tightened the shawl on her body by the way, opened her eyes and glanced at Anita, as if Meaningfully said:

"The sun...hehe, after waiting for so long, I have never seen the sun. Besides, Anita, don't keep running around, old lady, I am not a young man like you, I just want to be quiet."

Hearing Petra's words, Anita turned her head with some doubts and looked at the weather, although it was cloudy, but she could indeed see the sun and sunshine. She smiled and continued:

"It's not me, there are two people who want to see you, and ask something by the way."

"Hehe, old lady, I'm about to lose my mind, so there's nothing worth asking."

After saying this, Petra completely ignored Anita and Phoenix who were standing aside, got up and came to the side of the pillar, and began to circle around it, while still humming. With the ballad:

"The red clouds in the sky reflect my fiery clothes... My beloved, take me to fly across the blue ocean..."

"Grandma Petra, everyone is here, what are you doing?"

Anita didn't mind Petra's refusal at all. She seemed to understand that Petra would be like this. Instead, she asked her like coaxing a child, while Petra continued to circle around while saying a little irritably :

"Anita, oh, nasty Anita! Don't you see me dancing. When a girl is dancing, no one can disturb her. Do you want to come with me, Anita?"

"Hey? I won't, you have to be careful, don't get dizzy again."

"Nonsense, I can spin more than ten times in one breath without getting dizzy. Everyone in the city is cheering for me. I...cough cough cough..."

Originally, Petra was speaking well, but she didn't know if she choked on her own saliva, and suddenly coughed.

"Yes, yes, you are the best. Let's take a break and come and see our new friends. They have questions for you. This is a hunter and a singer."

"Hunter...singer...ah, I haven't heard this word for decades, the sun is too long, why is it still not dark, then we will go to the bar to listen to people playing the piano, and then in the square, yes, in the square Sing and dance here, and then listen to a story told by an old brother who is a hunter outside, I heard that the old brother once faced an Originium worm as big as a mountain."

"Well, hello, grandma?"

Probably because they felt that they would continue to let the old man talk, even if the sun went down, they would not be able to ask anything. Phoenix could only approach and open his mouth, intending to ask something, and Skadi followed behind Phoenix, as if Obedient little wife.

However, what Phoenix didn't expect was that after Petra looked at Phoenix and Skadi, she looked straight at Skadi's red dress, and her dull expression slowly changed to Frightened, he said in a panic:

"No! Don't want red! Sea water! Sea water is alive! Suddenly it came up, and they all died. There were so many people, and those who survived had nothing to eat. He said he would take me away, but he regretted it in the end. Everyone who went out died outside..."

"Um?!"

The crazy words that Petra suddenly said aroused Phoenix's vigilance. For a while, he always felt that the clues seemed to be strung together. Nothing to do.

'Live...seawater...could it be a monster in the sea, because its own protective color fluctuates with the seawater, and finally suddenly appears to attack, and the survivors mistakenly think that the seawater is alive? '

Phoenix, who didn't know that he had guessed a [-]% right now, temporarily stopped his divergent thinking, watched Anita help Petra to sit down again, sighed helplessly, and tried to hug her behind her. Skadi of his post said:

"Don't be shy here."

"Well……"

Chapter 730 "Priest" and the Church

"Both...both are monsters, big monsters...Manuel...he's waiting for me, I'm leaving...beloved, reflecting my fiery clothes..."

After sitting down, Petra did not return to normal, but seemed to be so demented, maintaining a sad expression, still muttering strange words in her mouth, as if the next step was really going to happen. It's the same as driving a crane west.

However, after seeing her like this, Anita acted as usual, she just silently put the blanket on the chair on Petra's lap, then stood up and said to Phoenix and the two:

"It seems that grandma can't ask anything. I'm sorry hunter, I can't help you."

"It's okay, I actually have some ideas, let's go first, let the old lady rest by herself."

"Okay, let's go."

Saying goodbye to Petra for the time being, Anita led the way ahead, and Phoenix took Skadi's little hand and followed her. Along the way, Anita kept talking to comfort the two of Phoenix, saying very enthusiastically:

"It's okay hunter, Grandma Petra always does this. Everyone understands that I still have some brothers and sisters I know around here. I'll just ask for you when the time comes."

"Huh? Brothers and sisters? Is there a lot in your family?"

"Hey? It's not considered a family, it's just that everyone is in the city, so they are all brothers and sisters. That's what the law says. Hunter, you are an Iberian, isn't it like this outside?"

"...Skadi?"

Hearing Anita's question, Phoenix couldn't help but frowned. He had never lived here in Iberia, so he didn't know the laws here, so he could only ask for help from his family who had been a bounty in Iberia. Gold Hunter's Skadi is gone.

However, living in the city, that's brothers and sisters or something... Is there really such an unrealistic law in Iberia?

Under Phoenix's gaze, Skadi thought about it for a while, then shook his head at Phoenix in a daze, and said:

"I've never heard of it. Jose Sr. also said that Iberia has no time to promulgate new laws in recent years, only the new Agor search warrant."

"Sure enough..."

"Hey, there is no such law in the outside world? If this is the case, isn't everyone very indifferent to each other? After all, they are not family members, and they don't want to get to know each other..."

After hearing Skadi's words, Anita fantasized about the scene based on what she knew, and suddenly trembled. She began to not like the outside so much.

Seeing the other person's face, in order not to cause any misunderstanding to her, Phoenix thought for a while, and then explained:

"Compared with coercion, the outside world prefers to be relatively democratic. For example, if you want to know this person, you can boldly get to know him. If you don't want to know him, ignore him. It depends entirely on your own wishes, instead of directly treating everyone like this. , Whether familiar or unfamiliar, all belong to brothers and sisters.”

"Oh—! That's right. Speaking of it, it seems that everyone is brothers and sisters, but it seems that there are only a few who can really talk to me. Many of them are I know their names, but they ignore me , Ah, Brick! We meet again."

Halfway through, Anita suddenly raised her hand to say hello. The two of Phoenix followed her line of sight and saw a woman squatting on the side of the road, and she was holding a brick in her hand and kept shaking it. It's like exercising your arms.

But looking at her sluggish expression, it seems that she doesn't know the meaning of what she has done.

The greeting did not get a response from 'Brick', and Anita was not embarrassed, and then smiled and said to Phoenix:

"Hey hey, like this."

"Well, don't say it, your personality will definitely be very popular outside."

"Really, I don't think so, and I probably won't have the chance to go outside."

When she said this, Anita had a slightly lonely expression on her face, but it was quickly covered up, and then she changed the subject and continued:

"Actually, Hunter, don't mind the monsters that Grandma Petra said before, when I was young, it was a really dark time, everyone just cared about themselves, hiding in their own homes, finding A can would fight over it, and then things would get better, and everyone would get together and learn how to uh...how to say, oh, share."

"Um……"

Anita's story is generic and sounds like an inspirational story about a group of self-absorbed people finally realizing the importance of unity, but Phoenix cares more about why.

Why would a group of people suddenly realize this?

If it is said that they spontaneously realized and organized something, then Phoenix would never believe it, it is too idealized, even if it is a novel, similar plots need a hero who can play a catalytic role.

Either his death, or his actions, in short, there will always be a hero who meets the conditions to let this group of people in the dark understand what light is.

(Shut up, don't talk about Lily of the Valley, let alone Dijia and Dagu)

Therefore, Phoenix is ​​very curious now, who is the 'hero' who led the residents of Saltwind City to no longer compete with each other, but to call each other brothers and sisters...

"We want to live, so we have to love each other more. Because of love, we are closely connected, we can't rob, we can't fight, we must make ourselves stronger, and we must make the group stronger, so that we can live a better life ... Oops."

Anita had just finished speaking when she was slapped on the forehead, which was done by Phoenix. At this time, his face was full of solemn expressions, as if he was dissatisfied with Anita's speech just now.

And Anita covered her forehead, looked at Phoenix with some doubts, and asked:

"Hunter, what's the problem?"

"It's a bit of a problem, because what you said just now doesn't sound like a 'person' should say it, it's more like a swarm of insects that will absolutely obey all orders."

"Huh? But... everyone lives like this."

"That's why I said there is a problem..."

Having said that, Phoenix looked around at the aborigines who looked like walking corpses, frowned tightly, and explained:

"Except for a saint, it is impossible for anyone to be completely selfish. Even a mother who never lies may hide her child's illness in order to protect her child who has become an infected person. Anita, what you just said, everyone It's all brothers and sisters, after all, is a kind of paranoid idealization, at least for the people of Terra, but..."

Having said that, Phoenix turned his head suddenly, looked towards a dark alley with no one in sight, did not take any action, but gave a somewhat scary hypothesis:

"If it's not a 'person' who said this, it seems feasible enough..."

"........."

Hearing Phoenix's words, Skadi's body trembled, and her eyes became cold and severe. She also realized that something was very wrong here, at least it was a trouble similar to those 'deep sea fears' in her hometown.

Thinking of this, Skadi couldn't help clenching the hand holding the box tightly, but at this moment, she felt a softness in her left hand.

Don't look down, Skadi knows who it is. After all, when the love is deep, there are many interlocking fingers. One of her favorite things is to enjoy the softer hands than hers. If I want to kiss, I will post it by the way, so that I can maintain a good mood for the day.

After calming Skadi around him a little, before Phoenix could say anything else, he heard Anita say with a smile:
