Chapter 47, Newcomer

Terra, a not-so-friendly place name.

Whether it is Holy Terra, Terraria, or simply Terra, it is not a good place for a time traveler without plug-ins.

At least Su Ming thinks so.

As a traverser sent by truck, he didn't get off to an ideal start.

First of all, he was infected with Originium Disease.

Origin Stone is the universal energy source of Tomorrow's Ark.

Relying on the energy of origin stones, people in this world can use origin stone skills similar to magic.

But Originium Disease is different. This piece of shit can basically be understood as the pro.max version of Emelin.

Any part of the body that comes into contact with the Originium without protection may become ill, which is 100% fatal. It may also turn into a human Originium bomb and infect other people when it dies.

Second, he was in Ursus.

This country, based on the former Tsarist Russia, has an unfriendly attitude towards infected people.

In other words, most countries in the world are not very friendly to infected people, but Ursus stands out.

During wartime, Ursus will throw infected people into the battlefield as cannon fodder, as materials to consume the enemy's firepower;

In peacetime, infected people are cheap laborers in the snowfield mining areas. They die from fatigue, hunger, and cold, and their bodies will also be used as source stone minerals.

However, this is already the best case scenario.

Most of the infected were caught and executed on the spot by pickets.

Su Ming was caught in the mining area as soon as he wore it.

Compared to the mining area where Shuangxing's family died, Su Ming had good news and bad news here.

The good news is that they won't draw lots to kill people, so they don't have to worry about getting a black lottery.

The bad news is, they kill directly.

"I don't plan to stay here any longer."

Su Ming said to the surrounding and his team members.

For the convenience of management, the mine divided these infected miners into groups.

But in fact, every once in a while, a group will disband due to the death of all members. This kind of grouping has no meaning.

"Halley the day before yesterday, Bird yesterday, who will it be today?"

The team members did not respond, but Su Ming continued.

After Su Ming crossed, because he didn't understand the situation, he immediately chose to help and win over the people around him.

But in this environment, only a few people died of starvation.

As a result, the mine guards felt that there were too many people left in their group and decided to kill one every day.

Either Su Ming and the others were disobedient, nor did they make the guards feel threatened, or they were just killing for fun.

"Boss, I'm with you."

Karen said.

"I don't want to stay here any longer."

Karen was arrested in the same group as Su Ming.

He is 16 years old this year. When Su Ming helps other team members, he also lends a hand. He is a good kid.

'Is there really no one else? '

Su Ming guessed this result from the very beginning.

Death has long since made them numb.

"Then let's go."

Su Ming greeted Karen to leave.

"But boss, we don't have weapons."

Karen pointed out a key problem.

"No, I have."

Su Ming took out the result of his search for many days, a rough ore of origin stone with sufficient weight.

Although there are many impurities, the speed of extracting the source stone energy will be reduced, but it is enough to use the source stone skills.

Originium skills can be acquired through learning or self-awakening.

The predecessor awakened the flame-related Originium skills after being infected with Originium Disease.

Unfortunately, before he had time to try, the pickets came to his door. He was beaten to death during the resistance, and then Su Ming traveled through time.

"Come on, go and get free."

Su Ming tied the coarse ore to his arm.

Although direct contact with the origin stone will aggravate the infection and speed up death, but without power, death will be faster.

……

"Boss, boss."

Karen's call woke up Su Ming from his sleep.

'It seems to have a dream about a long time ago. '

Su Ming vaguely remembered that he seemed to be dreaming about the memories he had just traveled through.

He set fire to the mine and burned it to the ground.

Then he took people who were willing to go with him, and obtained supplies by raiding the mines where the infected were enslaved on the snowy field, until now.

"Boss, the sentry post has been confirmed and we can attack."

Karen said.

"Then let's get started."

Su Ming looked at Karen who was different from the one in his sleep and said.

In order to gain power, Karen and the others received the Origin Stone with their own blood. While gaining Origin Stone skills similar to their own, their appearance also changed.

Karen now has horns similar to his own on his head, and his tail has grown longer behind him.

An image of Sarkaz (a generic term for demons, vampires, cyclops, etc.).

"After this time, we will leave here and go somewhere else."

Su Ming said to Karen and his men.

They are not people with lofty ideals, they just hug together to keep warm.

The raid on the mine wasn't for liberating the infected, it was for supplies and what little conscience was left.

No matter the infected people or the suffering on this land, let others have a headache.

It is enough for him to live a good life with his two hundred or so people.

"Boss, have you decided?"

Karen asked in surprise.

He had long wanted to leave this icy and snowy place.

"Correct."

Su Ming replied.

The dream just now may be a revelation to himself.

"Little ones, did you hear that?"

Cullen shouted to his men.

"Boss says we're leaving here."

Karen's words were greeted with cheers.

"where are we going?"

There was discussion among the crowd.

"How about Kasimir, I heard from the boss that there is a racehorse girl there."

"You idiot, that's Kuranta."

"Victoria is also good. Didn't the boss say that there are cat heads there? It must be fun to touch."

The voices came and went.

"Okay, stop for a second."

Su Ming said.

The voice was very soft, but the crowd immediately fell silent, even the newcomers.

"No matter where we go, we have to leave here first, take away the mine in front, and we will have enough supplies to go out."

Su Ming said.

He didn't have the habit of being harsh on his subordinates, and every time he attacked the mine, he would leave some supplies for ordinary infected people.

Therefore, until now they have saved seven or eighty-eight.

"Come on, let's get them."

Su Ming picked up his staff.

"Boss, do you want to give yourself a codename? It's not a good idea to use your real name all the time, right?"

Karen followed Su Ming and said.

"is it necessary?"

Su Ming asked.

"Maybe? I remember that the company mercenary groups I heard before used code names."

Karen said.

"Then take one."

He remembered that many of the characters in Arknights did use code names.

"Then boss, what do you think? Or should I call him Balrog?"

Karen mentioned what an enemy called Su Ming.

"Forget it, this name is not very auspicious."

Su Ming refused, and the Balrogs in the Sarkaz Ten Royal Courts were basically extinct.

"Then boss, what code name do you want?"

Karen was seriously thinking about giving his boss a majestic code name.

"K, let's call him K."

Su Ming suddenly recalled the code name of the handsome old man in the first movie he watched when he was in the orphanage, "Men in Black".

"Is there any meaning?"

Karen asked, looking at Su Ming's recalling expression.

"My responsibilities, and my hometown that I can't go back to."

Su Ming replied like this. Agent K led Agent J into another world and guided his growth.

Maybe I can take them to get a better life.

"But these are not important, they are all in place, it's our turn."

Su Ming patted Karen's shoulder.

"The action begins."

Su Ming said.

As Su Ming's voice fell, various explosions played a movement.

The origin stone skills obtained by Su Ming's subordinates did not have his complete power.

But only a rifled steel pipe is needed, and even a small explosion can get enough damage.

Under the leadership of Su Ming, the subordinates wearing heavy armor and holding spears easily smashed through the guards of the mine.

"Check the supplies, wait for the boss to distribute them, count the number of people, let the infected people who want to leave let them go, and kill those who don't listen to the warning and make trouble."

Karen commanded with ease.

"Boss, the scouts found someone coming, a shield guard, and they seem to have seen a patriot."

His men suddenly reported the news to him.

Patriot, whose real name is Bozhuo Kasti, one of the Ten Kings of Sakaz, and the last pure blood among the Wendigo tribe.

Even under the double debuff of old age and severe infection of Originium Disease, his personal strength is still firmly in the forefront of the Ark worldview.

He served Ursus for the first half of his life, but his son was accidentally killed by his own army while fighting for the rights of the infected.

Since then, he has been liberating the enslaved infected people on the snowfield in the northwest of Ursas.

Basically everyone who is hanging out in the snowfield has dealt with him, and they are no exception.

"Go and have a look."

Su Ming said.

Outside the mine, Patriot troops have arrived.

"The movements are still as fast as ever."

Su Ming looked at the arrived patriots and said.

"Leader of Blazing Flame, long time no see."

Patriot greeted Su Ming.

Perhaps because the Origin Stone infection is not that serious, the current patriots are not as awkward as Su Ming remembered them when speaking.

"It's been a long time since I saw you."

Su Ming said.

After Su Ming breaks through the mine, he will leave some supplies for the infected, so he is regarded by the patriots as a potential ally.

Because of this, they usually don't start a fight when they meet, but instead exchange some supplies.

"You came just in time, we are ready to go."

Su Ming said.

It was nice to be able to say goodbye to this familiar yet unfamiliar person before leaving.

"Now?"

asked the Patriot.

"Drip, K joined the group chat."

A voice suddenly sounded in Su Ming's head.

'After working on it for a long time, it turns out that I have a plug-in. '

Su Ming lamented that this time traveler finally looked like a time traveler.

However, he has not studied his own cheats for the time being.

"No, after cleaning up, I mean, we have to leave the snowfield and leave Ursus."

Su Ming said.

"We're going to find a more suitable place to live."

"Then congratulate you in advance on your success."

Patriots bless.

Although there are one fewer people struggling on the snow field, he can't criticize others' yearning for a better life.

"Speaking of, do you want to listen to my music? As a farewell."

Su Ming took out the suona he was playing.

Although I was interested in this thing in my previous life, I didn't study it seriously. Instead, I picked it up after traveling through time.

I couldn't play the tune well at first, but now I can play a few tunes, although they are not serious tunes.

"it is good."

The Patriots agreed.

Patriot agreed, but Su Ming didn't know what to brag about anymore. After thinking about it, he decided to brag about Kikujiro's summer to him.

In fact, he is better at confession night, but it's not appropriate to blow this stuff now.

At the same time, the chat group is frantically swiping the screen.

The four Su Ming kept telling the new group members to watch the group.

As Su Ming took the suona into his mouth, some naughty sounds sounded.

Although the patriot felt that the music seemed not quite right, he still listened carefully.

Gradually, Su Ming became intoxicated, and a strange power that shouldn't be awakened at this time began to awaken and spread with the music.

The patriots who listened carefully to the music gradually fell into the happy days of the past.

Then as the music ended, the Patriots woke up suddenly.

"who are you."

The voice of the patriot sounded with a little killing intent.

He picked up the halberd and shield placed beside him and prepared to take action.

The call from the soul, this is the Demon King of Sarkaz.

'...I see you, with a black crown on your head, turning thousands of living beings into memories.I saw the Demon King enslaving all the races. '

He recalled the prophecy about the Demon King.

However, the current Demon King should still be Theresia.

"What do you mean, sir?"

Su Ming was still a little immersed in the performance he had just played with all his heart.

However, Patriot's sudden change of face made Su Ming grab the staff immediately.

"Sorry, Blazing Leader, if I misjudged the prophecy, I will apologize to you."

Regardless of whether he was the real Demon King or not, he had to verify it.

He must prevent the prophecy from coming true.

The patriots launched an attack, and the heavy halberd roared towards Su Ming.

Su Ming's Origin Stone skill was activated, and the burst of flames pushed Su Ming away, avoiding the Patriot's halberd.

The flame obeyed Su Ming's will and ignited everything around him.

"Others go to suppress the other members of Blaze, don't kill them."

The patriots left only their own personal guards.

This flame cannot be dealt with by others.

"Karen, take the others out."

Su Ming gave orders to his subordinates.

Although he was a little surprised to find that his flame control was smoother, but now was not the time to care about it.

His subordinates are not bad in close combat, but compared with shield guards, there is still a big gap.

What's more, the gap in the number of people is too big.

Keeping distance will ensure you have a chance to win.

The sudden turn of events between the two generals made the soldiers confused, but they still carried out the command of the general at the first time.

The two parties started to run while spraying flames from their backpacks, and at the same time chased directly.

While the patriot was trying to attack Su Ming with a halberd throw, he was testing Su Ming's flying speed.

'Prophecy, what prophecy? '

While Su Ming was thinking about how to break the situation, he took advantage of the snowy environment and alternated between hot and cold to try to destroy the Patriot's armor first.

Now he can't beat the Patriots. Even with these small halberds, he will be seriously injured.

And Karen and the others haven't completely evacuated, so it's inconvenient to fly away directly.

'Wouldn't it be the prophecy of the Sarkaz Demon King? '

Su Ming got an outrageous answer.

Although outrageous, this is the only prophecy that Wendigo cares about in the game.

"Wait a minute, you didn't misunderstand me as the Demon King, did you?"

Su Ming said to Patriot who had confirmed Su Ming's flying habits and was about to throw his halberd with all his might.

"Theresa is not dead yet, and Kelsey is watching, so why should I be regarded as the devil?"

Su Ming said.

Theresa's death would make almost all Sarkaz people hear her sigh, but no one heard it now.

"Sorry, I have to verify."

said the Patriot.

"How do you verify?"

Su Ming asked.

Just delay the time for Karen and the others to leave.

"Sarkaz has a special skill to identify source stones."

Although Su Ming's ability just now was almost certain.

But Theresia was not dead yet, and the Patriots just planned to catch Su Ming and check it out, just in case.

"Then why did you do it directly?"

Su Ming finally discovered the key to the problem.

The Patriot froze.
