through the dark road

Chapter 6 Traces of Humanity

The two fallen demons didn't drop anything, and even their small knives disappeared together. When they walked to the place where the fallen magician fell dead, Mo Bei's eyes lit up, and it turned out to be a pair of dusty shoes.

Leather boots (common)
Defense: 2
Durability: 11-12
"What do you want!" Mo Bei was barefoot at this time, and he was wearing slippers to play games before crossing, so he appeared in the dark world wearing slippers. The ordinary plastic slippers had worn out in the battle just now, and the whole The uppers are all broken.

"But Nima is really ordinary... At least add an attribute, the short sword had grooves before..." Successive victories still made Mo Bei a little bit flustered. . .

Put on your boots and stand up.

"It's quite comfortable." Mo Bei moved around with his shoes on.

Immediately afterwards, a pang of hunger almost made him sit on the ground with his legs limp again.

"If I don't find something to drink again, I might really want GG..."

Mo Bei walked towards the sinking demon's cauldron. The soup that had been poured on the ground had already drained, and there were only some large and small bone dregs left in the cauldron, the small ones looked like mice, and the big ones. .It seemed to be a human being. . .

He felt his scalp go numb, and couldn't help taking a step back. His empty stomach twitched, and he felt nauseous.At the same time, strong anger and hatred surged in his heart.

Last night, he had been looking forward to meeting a human being. He had a stomach full of questions to ask, and he also hoped to be taken away from this damn wasteland, but now he saw human remains in this fallen devil's cauldron.

The scene in front of him made him want to kill the three fallen demons one more time.

He dug a hole under the barn wall with a short sword, and buried the suspected human remains.

"I can only do so much..."

Taking a deep breath, Mo Bei began to carefully search the three buildings with his dagger in hand.

As previously thought, the farm had been abandoned for many years.Most of the barn collapsed.After a few glances, Mo Bei, who was already dizzy with hunger, felt that there was no need to search hard.The barn was empty, and it didn't look like it could hide anything.

Entering the tile house, there are still some scattered tables and chairs on the first floor, as well as some indistinguishable fragments.The stairs leading to the second floor have been completely broken, and the whole thing fell to the ground.

The second floor is Mo Bei's only hope at this time, but how can he go up.Mo Bei looked at the fragments of the stairs, but didn't see the possibility that they could be erected as footsteps.

Look at the pillar that is embedded in the wall half way and goes straight to the roof. This pillar seems to have been the support of the stairs at the beginning.But this pillar is half built in the wall and cannot be climbed at all.

Mo Bei approached and tried to hold on to the pillar, but found that there seemed to be something under the shadow on one side of the pillar. After stepping on it, it turned out to be a rope!
Mobei's heart beat a little faster.Grabbing the rope and pulling it, the sound of something being dragged came from the floor upstairs.Continue to pull, there is a "crash", and a rope ladder falls upstairs!
This discovery made Mobei very excited.This must be left by other humans!I finally found traces of other humans again!
Is he still around here?Will you come back here again? Should I wait here?
While thinking, Mo Bei took some effort to climb the rope ladder to the second floor.

The scene upstairs made Mo Bei even more excited, obviously someone had rested here!A bed made of hay, a simple table.The traces on the ground allowed Mo Bei to imagine three or five people eating and chatting together or resting quietly.

In one corner of the room was a glass bottle with a cork stopper.You can see something like a scroll inside.Mo Bei excitedly picked up the bottle, pulled out the cork, and shook the scroll a few times but failed to shake it out. He stuck his index finger in and pressed the corner of the scroll before pulling it out.

When you unfold it, it is a strange text, but what is even more strange is that he can understand it!It says:

"If you run out of water and food, look in the cask under the window sill, if you have extra and the cask is empty, you might consider keeping some."

Mo Bei turned his head to look at the window, and sure enough, he saw a intact wooden barrel.

He almost staggered and rushed over, lifted the lid, and inside were two glass bottles filled with water and a tightly packed paper bag, and he was instantly ecstatic.

Without even thinking about it, Mo Bei uncorked the bottle and drank the water in the bottle.It wasn't until I drank most of the bottle that I forced myself to stop, not daring to finish it in one breath, and then started to pull the cotton rope on the paper bag.

After opening it, it turned out to be a piece of black-red jerky. The jerky was so hard that Mo Bei felt that it could compete with the sole of a leather shoe.

But he still tore off a strip from the top with his teeth and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed vigorously.After drinking a little more water, Mo Bei felt that the jerky was slowly softening in his mouth. After eating a small piece of jerky like this, his teeth felt sore and he couldn't eat anymore.

After wrapping the dried meat, he pulled up the rope ladder, and Mo Bei lay on a bed of hay.Thinking about who left these, the message on the scroll made Mo Bei understand that no one would come back here for the time being.

Are the strange words on the scroll the words of this world?If you can understand the text, you should also be able to speak their language?Do I have to thank the God of time travel for not turning me into an illiterate person? . .

After an unknown amount of time, Mo Bei seemed to hear the humming and chirping of the sinking demon.Shocked, he looked out through the window.I saw three fiery figures walking towards the cauldron behind the barn carrying something in the distance.

He couldn't see what they were carrying, but when Mo Bei thought of what he saw in the cauldron just now, he became angry from his heart, and immediately let the rope ladder go downstairs.

Mo Bei sneaked into the barn. The walls of the barn were all nailed with thick planks and there were many gaps.Through these gaps, Mo Bei can roughly grasp the movements of the three fallen demons.

After seeing the broken cauldron, the three guys screamed in panic, dropped the things they were carrying and scattered to search for them. Mo Bei saw that they were carrying two bristly mice.

At this time, one of the fallen demons was looking for the barn.Mo Bei then dodged to the barn door to hide, holding the dagger tightly in both hands and raising it above his head. When the ugly head poked in sneakily, he swung his sword down and decapitated it.

Mo Bei chased after the two-story washer again, but at the door, he collided with the fallen demon who had withdrawn.

The sinking monster screamed and slashed with a knife, but Mo Bei, who was already prepared, reacted quickly.Relying on his height and long arms, Mo Bei slashed at its hand holding the knife with a sword. The strength was not strong, but he let a piece of the knife drop from his hand.Immediately afterwards, a sword pierced into its chest, and easily solved the second one.

The last fallen demon rushed towards Mo Bei after hearing the movement, and retreated to avoid the knife swung by the opponent. Mo Bei raised the short sword to his neck and drew a wound, but it was not fatal.

At this time, Mo Bei overcame his nervousness and recovered a lot of his physical strength. He felt a little calm against such a little devil with small arms and legs as high as his waist.Another blow crippled its knife arm, slashing at the ugly creature as it turned and fled.
