Chapter 227 Temporary Shelter

Li You and Marco walked on the road one after another.

Marco kept moving close to the edge of the building to prevent himself from being targeted by possible snipers.

Li You also made the same move.

The two walked along the street, looking for suitable shelter.

Li You walked around an overturned truck and was about to move forward when he suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Marco stopped and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Li You pointed to the intersection ahead. From here, you can see two military supply boxes stacked in the center of the intersection.

"Military supplies? Here?" Marco was stunned when he saw it, "This...isn't it a trap no matter how you think about it?"

Li You nodded: "There are snipers."

Marco was shocked at that time.

Li You looked to the side and saw the bullet marks on the tires of the overturned truck and said, "A guy put these boxes here just to make fun of people."

"Let's go another way. He may have already targeted us and we can't go any further."

Marco also had no objection: "Okay."

The two slowly retreated and turned back.

They had only gone a hundred meters when a gunshot was heard from the intersection behind them.

"boom--!"

Marco was so frightened that he almost fell down, but seeing Li You's lack of reaction, he realized that the opponent was not targeting him.

However, his face didn't look good either: "Could it be...?"

Li You shook his head slightly: "Don't think about it, let's go."

Marco was silent for a moment and cursed viciously: "These beasts!"

The snipers active in Berglen include both government forces and rebels, but it doesn't matter which side they belong to. Their common characteristic is that they all just want to have fun.

This is not the only trap like this, nor is it the worst one.

Li You said nothing, changed direction and continued moving forward.

Although the city of Berggren has long been devastated, there are not many dead on the roadside, because no matter which party is fighting, they will collect the corpses of their companions.

The most common things here are ruins, burning buildings and vehicles, and some splattered blood. Only one or two corpses can be seen occasionally. Their common features are tattered clothes and sallow complexion.

Even in rare cases, when you pass by a skinny body that you thought was a corpse, it will suddenly move, struggle and let out a hollow cry of "Woooo".

Marco looked unbearable and turned his face away, while Li You's face didn't change at all.

He is not cold-blooded, but such a refugee is really hopeless, and even Li You can't do anything.

What's more, until now, they haven't even found a suitable shelter.

The buildings on both sides of the road were either destroyed by artillery shells or burning with blazing flames. There were few suitable houses and they had already been occupied by others.

After walking through a stretch of road blocked by crooked scrapped cars, Li You looked at the sky and said, "It's going to be dawn soon. I don't have time. Let's just find a place to stay for the day."

Marco also agreed that during the day, government troops and rebels often clashed, with soldiers from both sides running around in the city. It was extremely dangerous to be outside at this time.

In the game, the protagonists also work in the shelter during the day and go out to search for supplies at night.

If you move a little slowly when searching for supplies and do not have time to return before dawn, then the character who is out exploring is at risk of injury.

The two relaxed their standards and searched for a while longer. Finally, they hid in a roadside house before the light of dawn filled the land.

This hut only has two floors. Not to mention its old structure, the second floor has collapsed severely, and even the flames on the roof have not been extinguished.

Apparently, the place had been shelled not long ago and was now deserted.

No, it's not empty. Li You stood in front of the entrance of the hut and looked up. At the window on the second floor of the hut, a man's body was lying there, half of his body was burnt black.

Marco followed Li You's line of sight and saw the corpse. He lowered his gaze and sighed.

"…Let's go in."

The two entered the house and locked the door. Not long after that, there were bursts of noisy noises on the streets outside, as if small groups of troops were exchanging fire.

Marco said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, we caught up."

Li You agreed with this. He sniffed the burning smell in the room and said, "I will go upstairs to check the situation. I will also be responsible for the security. Can you search here?"

Marco patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me. I know a thing or two about scavenging."

Li You just smiled. He knew very well that Marco did have experience in picking up trash. This was the background setting of the character.

However, there is an old rumor that Marco does not search more or faster than others, but his backpack can hold more...

But the game settings are just the game settings. Since Marco has this confidence, it is of course no problem to leave it to him. Li You immediately turned around and went upstairs.

He looked at the collapsed area on the second floor to isolate the flammable materials from the still-burning fire, then went to the living room, did a brief search, and found a pile of leaflets scattered on the ground.

It read: "This area is an anti-terrorism area, and anyone staying in the city will be regarded as a terrorist. For the safety of you and your family, please leave Berglen City immediately. Government troops will ensure your safety."

There is also a line of scrawled handwriting below: "A bunch of liars!!"

Li You shook his head and put down the flyer.

Although the outbreak of the war was the fault of the rebels, by now, both the government forces and the rebels have committed numerous atrocities, and no one in the city would believe their nonsense about "ensuring security."

Then, Li You kicked open the sealed door leading to the master bedroom, and the body of the man he just saw was hanging on the window here.

Li You dragged him down, covered him with a sheet, and then returned to the living room.

Just wait here and let Marco search.

He came to the living room window and sat down, put the sniper rifle on the window, and began to meditate lightly while being on guard.

at the same time.

Downstairs, Marco was rummaging through boxes and cabinets, searching for potentially useful supplies.

For example, nails and bolts that are not too rusty, wood that is still suitable, or canned food that has not expired for a long time.

However, Marco did not let down his guard when doing these things.

Marco still had doubts about his new friend. After all, not everyone would walk around in a ruined city with a samurai sword on their waist, a sniper rifle on their back, and a gun storage box in their hand. of.

Marco first thought he was a robber, and later thought he was a sniper in the army. However, after a short period of communication with him, he felt that this guy was not that vicious and inhumane guy.

So what does he do? Special forces?

Marco hasn't figured it out yet.

He opened a broken and rickety closet door, shook away the dust, coughed and rummaged inside.

"Huh? This is..."

Marco fumbled a few times and took out an old small hammer from the depths of the cabinet.

"This is good, it can still be used!"

A satisfied smile appeared on his face, but then he was interrupted by a shout from upstairs.

"Ah, ah ah, ah ah ah ahhhhh——!!"

Marco was startled by the sudden roar, and then he realized that this seemed to be Li You's voice?

He hesitated for a moment, then put away the hammer and ran upstairs.

"--What’s wrong with you!"

Marco asked as he pushed the door open. What he saw shocked him.

Li You was half-kneeling and huddled in the corner of the room, trembling all over. He grabbed the window guardrail in front of him with one hand, almost tearing off the old guardrail entirely.

When he heard his voice, Li You raised his head subconsciously, and then Marco saw that Li You's eyes were covered with a layer of blood.

He was so frightened that he took a step back: "What is this..." Li You panted heavily and managed to speak: "Don't come over! I'm fine...I, just..."

Halfway through his words, his body began to twitch again.

Martin seemed to suddenly understand something, and asked carefully: "Is there anything I can do?"

Li You took a few breaths and said, "...No, just let me take my time..."

Marco then stood up and said, "Okay, if you need help with anything, just call me."

He left immediately and closed the door thoughtfully.

Li You tried hard to control his body and sat down cross-legged again. After confirming that no one else was watching, he took out the wine bottle from his backpack and took several gulps before the blood in his eyes faded.

He took it easy again, and after confirming that there was nothing else wrong with him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"...I'm just fucked, Yinglong's resentment is too strong."

When he was meditating just now, he saw the Sakura Dragon Divine Crystal emerging in his consciousness, as well as the dragon-shaped blood shadow contained in it.

Li You discovered at this time that he hadn't noticed for a while. The blood shadow representing Yinglong's resentment seemed to have come out of the crystal? It seems that a small part of the body is exposed on the surface of the crystal?

Both common sense and the experience of various fantasy works he had seen told him that this was definitely not a good sign.

Li You hesitated for a moment, and then wanted to use his consciousness to push back the Yinglong Divine Crystal to stop it from trying to escape.

But unexpectedly, as soon as his consciousness came close to the divine crystal, a blood thread sprang out from the blood shadow, piercing the core of Li You's consciousness!

Then, Li You felt unspeakable resentment rushing toward him, like a raging flame burning his spirit and burning him to ashes.

The sudden severe pain made him scream out.

Fortunately, there was only a trace of resentment, so Li You recovered quickly.

But he also learned a profound lesson: before, he followed the method told to him by the miko of the Source Palace, by allowing his consciousness to resonate with the Sakura Dragon Divine Crystal to invoke Sakura Dragon's divine power.

But now, Yinglong's resentment seems to penetrate the crystal and come out, unable to touch it. If this happens every time in the future, doesn't it mean that he can't use the power of Sakura Dragon for the time being?

Li You frowned slightly. Although in this world, one must be careful not to expose extraordinary abilities, but being able to use them secretly with caution and being unable to use them are completely different things.

Even if he can only use a small amount of Sakura Dragon's power, he usually just uses it to make thunder?

Even thunder magatama can replace power generation?

This problem still needs to be solved?

Li You carefully recalled the Sakura Dragon Divine Crystal that he had just seen in meditation, and then noticed that it seemed that the blood shadow of resentment was a little thicker than when he first got it?

He immediately reacted: "Isn't it right... Has this thing absorbed the resentment in the dead cell world and strengthened itself?"

Li You very much hoped that he was overthinking it, but thinking about the principle, wouldn't it be the same as when he turned the lion ape into the Origin Saint?

Although the Sakura Dragon Divine Crystal itself can isolate most of the resentment, it seems that this entire dragon of resentment is still too attractive for the resentment wandering in the world.

"...It seems we have to find a way."

After all, most of the worlds he traveled through were filled with resentment.

Just like the current world.

Li You sighed, grabbed the wine bottle and took another sip of wine before walking out of the room.

Marco was searching for supplies in the kitchen on the first floor. When he saw Li You coming downstairs, he turned around, hesitated, and asked:

"No offense, but I want to ask, do you...suffer from PTSD?"

As soon as these words came out, Li You was stunned and looked at him.

Marco looked at him and said, "Nothing else, but I have seen people with similar symptoms. If you need it, I can help you at any time."

Li You was a little amused after hearing this and asked: "You want to help me? Aren't you curious about my identity?"

Marco said: "Of course I am curious, but this is all in the past. No matter what you have done in the past, now we are all war refugees and companions. Supporting each other is the key to going forward."

Li You looked at him: "You are really a good man."

He paused, and then said: "It doesn't matter if I tell you, so that you don't have to think too much."

"I'm not a robber, a soldier, or a sniper.

"—I'm a killer."

Marco froze in place.

"…What did you say??"

This is the rhetoric that Li You thought up not long ago. Although he could not reveal his extraordinary abilities, even so, his own combat power had already exceeded human limits, so he had to suppress his own strength to avoid scaring Marco.

In that case, he needs a reasonable explanation as to why he is so strong.

In particular, he was carrying a heavy sniper rifle. The shape of this thing was so hideous and conspicuous that anyone with a little knowledge of firearms would be able to tell that it was an anti-material sniper rifle. This was not something that could be obtained by scavenging.

The identity of a sniper is a nightmare for most citizens of Berggren. He must not be able to act with such a hat.

So Li You simply made up the identity of a killer for himself.

There is no need for love, and there is no need for food.

But I can fight.

Marco was stunned for a few moments before finally coming back to his senses: "You...then what is your goal?"

Li You smiled slightly: "My previous mission has been completed, but unfortunately, this also caused me to be trapped here."

Now Ma Ke felt that everything made sense: "That's it!"

He sighed and said: "Okay, then I won't ask about your past. It's still the same as what I just said. Only by working together can we survive."

Li You also nodded and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Marco opened his backpack and showed it to Li You. It was basically filled with scattered tools and materials, such as nails, tape, plastic, and some electronic components.

Marco pointed to the wood piled aside: "Then there are those, some wood that is not rotten."

Li You took a look and found that he had gained a lot of materials, but the problem was... there was no food at all.

He frowned slightly: "Is there still no food?"

Marco shook his head: "I've searched both the first floor and the basement, and there's nothing there. It's probably been ransacked a long time ago."

Li Youyou said, "Go to the second floor and take a look. I've also opened the bedroom door."

Marco went up with his bag and came down not long after.

"I found some bandages and some herbs, but still nothing edible."

Li You understood: "So now, finding something to eat is a top priority."

Not to mention Marco, he had been hungry for three days and only ate a few candies, and his chest was already touching his back.

Even for Li You, his current physical strength is far beyond that of ordinary people, so he naturally needs a lot of food to supplement his consumption.

He is not hungry yet, and he can survive for a few days without strenuous exercise, but this is not always a problem.

In the past world, Li You had never worried about food. Even in the dead cell world where the epidemic spread, he could get her food from the guardian of time for free - it was provided by the Jilan people who were doing business. food.

But once he got here, he had to start looking for food on his own.

Li You went back upstairs, rummaged through the leaflets and waste paper on the floor, and finally found a brochure with a rough map printed on it.

He spread the map on the table and asked Marco: "Can you find our current approximate location?"

Marco nodded and stretched out his hand to point on the map: "It's probably here. This is the intersection we passed before."

Li You looked at the location and had a rough idea of ​​the direction, and then asked, "Do you know what dangerous places there are in the city, and where can I find supplies?"

Marco thought for a while and pointed out a few more locations.

"This is an abandoned school, and there is a supermarket here... This is the dock, but it is blocked... There is a hotel here, and it seems that a group of bandits live in it. It is said that they opened a 'flower shop' not far away..."

Li You was stunned: "Flower shop?"

Marco blinked helplessly: "...It's just that kind of place, you know."

Li You understood.

He looked at the map again and made a decision: "Okay, I'll go there tonight."

Mark:"???"

　I should have time to update more tomorrow
