edge of pure land

Chapter 45 Lu Sixian’s paintings
  When the helicopter alarm sounded, the fuel level displayed on the instrument panel dropped rapidly, reaching zero in just ten seconds, and the engine lost power.

The helicopter fell out of control like a bird with broken wings.

The people in the cabin were all soldiers. They decisively put on their parachute bags and jumped out of the cabin door.

Just when this group of people thought they were about to be shot into a sieve by the overwhelming thorns, a huge explosion blew them away, and a terrifying mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

Countless thorns were also engulfed in flames.

That was Major Yuan Qing's bombardment. It was this horrific explosion that knocked them away. Although some people suffered internal injuries, it was still better than being shot directly to death by the thorns.

Finally they escaped from the shooting range of those thorns. As parachutes opened in mid-air, the hearty laughter of the female officer rang out in the sky.

"Is it exciting?"

Yuan Qing smiled very arrogantly, her charming yet wild face was illuminated by the firelight, her short chestnut hair danced wildly in the wind, she was as beautiful as an elf bathing in fire: "This is the battlefield, you have to face the approaching death Fear, but there will also be the joy of surviving a desperate situation. Enjoy it, soldiers, welcome to the world outside the barrier, keep your eyes open!"

This moment coincides with sunrise, when the sun rises from the horizon and its rays of light sweep across the world.

The dark wasteland was lit up in an instant.

When he came to Shengen City, Lu Fuji crossed the mountains from the land of his past life. He only saw lush forests and ruins of cities along the way, but at this moment he was shocked.

Because he crossed the deep crack in the ground and saw the ice lit by sunlight in mid-air.

The rugged icebergs are reflected golden by the sunlight, the jade trees and flowers on the ridge seem to come from mythology or fairyland, the bottomless ice gorge seems to lead to the depths of the earth, and the cold wind carries the ice edges across the horizon. At first glance, it looks like falling snow, with the shadow of a white bear looming in the snow.

The surface of the river has frozen, and there are ice crystals and snowflakes everywhere.

This poignant scene seems like the end of the world.

The howling cold wind smells of freedom.

The threat of death is no longer there. Those terrifying waves of White Walkers have been left far behind. Looking back now, we can only see a dark tide.

Now that Lu Buer has awakened from the cocoon, he has mastered the power and is no longer afraid of this new world. After breaking away from the rules of the city, he truly embraced the world for the first time.

Five hundred years ago, he was overwhelmed by the pressure of survival and never had the chance to go out for a walk.

But this scene seemed to wash away the haze of the past eighteen years.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

Yuan Qing stood beside him and said against the strong wind: "I have never seen what your world looks like, but the first scene I saw when I opened my eyes was like this, because I grew up on the battlefield. As a high-energy species , we cannot enjoy comfort in the city like other people. But those people in the city will never have the opportunity to explore such a world in their lifetime."

"The ancient trees that rose from the ground five hundred years ago, the ecological environment that was forcibly changed, and the disasters that have raged for hundreds of years have also brought vigorous vitality to the world. Therefore, some people say that humans are the virus in this world. Nature should flourish without human interference. The Shennongjia, Bermuda Triangle, Amazon Rainforest, Sahara Desert, and Himalayas that you are familiar with are all different now. Aren't you curious?"

She said loudly: "The heritage of the gods, gods and ghosts, the truth of evolution. As long as you become strong enough, you can travel to every corner of the world. See all kinds of beautiful scenery and experience all kinds of magic." creatures and fight all kinds of powerful monsters!”

The female officer seemed to have changed after she came to the world outside the wall. She cheered and had fun like a crazy girl, immersed in the beauty of nature and unable to extricate herself.

Lu Fuji can also understand. She looks like the kind of girl with a wild nature.

She will not be bound in the barrier, she was born to be an elf running on the ice field.

Perhaps some people should not be bound by tedious daily routines and heavy work. If you can one day put aside the value burdens that others have instilled in you and boldly experience the beauty of the world, you may truly understand how to live. meaning.

At that moment, you are free.

"Because of this, some people in this world choose to live outside the barrier. People in the Federation call them wanderers or scavengers, but I envy them."

Yuan Qing said softly: "Because they are free."

She pointed to some ruins on the ice sheet and explained: "These are the traces of the lives of the wanderers. They would establish tribes in the wilderness and live a primitive life of hunting and herding."

When Lu Fuji heard this, he was suddenly stunned.

Because this scene seems a bit familiar.

By the way, Lu Sixian’s paintings!

Sun, plains, mountains.

Frozen rivers, the remains of cabins, rotting fences.

If Lu Sixian originally lived in the world outside the wall, it would make sense.

It’s just that it’s too late to think about it now.

When they landed smoothly, the parachutes folded and withered.

Yuan Qing stomped around in the snow, not looking like she had escaped from death at all.

As for Kashiwagi and the others, their mentality was not so good. Everyone looked like they had escaped from death, making signs of the cross to the sky, thanking God for their salvation.

"This is where?"

"Northwest of Shengen City, Sunset Snowfield, coordinates 356.547!"

"Hey, isn't this the territory of those primitive remnants?"

The officers were talking a lot.

Yuan Qing raised her eyes, surveyed the wasteland, and shook her head: "It seems that they are no longer here. I don't know if it is because they are avoiding the wave of White Walkers. Even if not, they may be avoiding us. After all, God The top leaders of Gencheng have been troubled by the issue of these remnants. They have not yet made a conclusion as to whether they should integrate them, drive them away, or let them go."

Lu Fuji asked curiously: "What are the original survivors?"

Yuan Qing glanced at him and explained calmly: "I'm going to explain this to you, recruit. As the name suggests, wanderers are a group of people wandering alone outside the barrier. They often travel alone or in small groups, and their numbers are not very large. As for the It is also difficult to make a specific distinction in terms of strength. They have no legal identity, are usually fierce, and pose a great threat."

"Most of the scavengers gather in large groups. They usually hide in the ruins of the city, and their scale is quite large. You can think of them as some unpopular gangs in novels. The reason why they exist , sometimes relying on...resistance organizations. For example, the Corpse Cult, they belong to a resistance organization, but at present, the threat is not great."

She paused: "As for the original remnants, during the cataclysm five hundred years ago, a part of the human race that was not sealed survived by chance. They relied on the existing resources on the earth to fight against natural disasters and life disasters with difficulty. Find a way out in the cracks."

Lu Fuji was stunned. He thought that the group of people five hundred years ago would die directly.

"A few years later, these people had faith, and they believed in the power of nature. They no longer relied on technology, but returned to primitive life. In the process, they also explored the secrets of Kabbalah's Tree of Life, and went deep into A forbidden place where no one in the world has ever set foot.”

Yuan Qing continued: "It can be said that the establishment of today's civilization is inseparable from their help in the early days. Even the first generation of holy monarchs completed their evolution under their guidance. The establishment of the Akasha Holy Cult First, thanks to the extraordinary knowledge they provided.”

Lu Fuji probably understood: "It's just that this group of people cannot adapt to the reconstructed civilization, so they did not choose to join the federation, but survive independently in nature?"

Yuan Qing hummed.

"No wonder they are called primitive remnants."

Lu Fuji looked around and saw only desolate ruins.

"We were lucky enough to land directly on their territory."

Yuan Qing crossed her arms and said: "These primitive remnants care very much about the natural ecology, and maybe they know something. They can provide a lot of help for us to capture the White Walkers. But they may not be friendly to us. Shengen City sent people to follow them the past few times. Communication and feedback are both poor."       "Former Major."

Kashiwa said with a serious face: "What should we do now?"

The officers looked at each other. The area was deserted, except for the white ice.

Occasionally, some animals can be seen, but obviously there are no White Walkers.

Unless you die and go back to find the White Walkers.

"Now that we're here, let's go find those remnants."

Yuan Qing obviously had no clues and was giving blind orders.

However, there is nothing anyone can do about it. Who makes her the most beautiful person?

Hot knowledge, tribal gathering places are generally near rivers.

That's why there are so many traces of life along the river.

In fact, it is not impossible to survive in extreme environments. As long as you dig a deep pit underground, build a wooden house with wood, lay a tarp and insulating moss, and make a fireplace that can exhaust smoke to the outside, the indoor temperature can reach Above thirty degrees.

Lu Fuji had seen many videos of this kind of wilderness survival before. As expected, there were some such underground shelters in the ruins by the river, but they had not been inhabited for a long time.

There was nothing of value in the house, and domestic garbage was everywhere.

It is obvious that the remaining people living here have migrated away.

"There are traces here!"

Someone said: "Fuck, corpse!"

Everyone looked around and saw a series of eerie white bones hanging in the jungle.

They had tattered clothes hanging on their bodies and exuded a musty smell.

"Sacrifice?"

Everyone looked at the female officer in unison.

Yuan Qing was silent for a moment, but stopped talking.

She sneaked into the corner alone and took out a notepad from her pocket. After rummaging for a long time, she seemed to have found something. When she came back, she was confident.

"This is not a sacrifice, this is the unique burial method of the primitive survivors. The devil knows what they believe in. As long as they are killed compatriots, they will hang on the trunk of the tree and let them return to nature. If it is a natural death, then There will be a normal burial."

Yuan Qing said firmly: "So they were killed."

"Killed by White Walkers?"

Lu Fuji doesn't feel like it.

If he was killed by a ghost, the bones would not be so complete.

"There is also a stone monument here."

Kashiwagi said in a deep voice: "It seems to be a tombstone."

Lu Buer went over and took a look, but he couldn't understand a single word of the inscription.

But the totem on the stone tablet seems familiar.

It was like a totem outlined by countless bloodlines.

It is precisely the core part of the Creation Mother Nest!

"This is a unique script used by the primitive remnants. Each tribe's script may be different, but in fact they all reach the same goal. They are created based on the tree patterns of the sacred tree."

Yuan Qing hesitated for a moment: "Secretary Xia Yan once taught me, it seems to be called Sa..."

"Sata, Albalua?"

Lu Fuji makes a blind guess.

Everyone looked at him, not expecting that a new recruit would know this.

Yuan Qing was stunned: "It seems so."

"The corpse-eating cultist arrested yesterday was talking about it."

Kashiwagi shook his head: "Nothing surprising."

Lu Fuji smiled: "Then can you please read it and find out what it means?"

Kashiwagi's face froze.

"This sentence means, immortal faith."

Lu Fuji shrugged: "Instructor, who is useless now?"

The current clues made him think that this primitive remnant might be related to the little girl at home, because the natural totem they believed in was the Mother's Nest of Creation.

I don’t know if it has anything to do with the Holy Mountain.

And the reason why he found this place was because of that painting!

Instructor Kashiwagi’s face turned ugly.

This new recruit repeatedly provoked him, which made him very angry.

At this moment, an arrow suddenly shot out of the jungle.

Snapped.

Yuan Qing grabbed the arrow with her bare hands and sneered: "Guan, what are you doing in front of the temple?"

Lu Buer corrected him: "Playing with a sword in front of Guan Gong Temple."

The next moment, dozens of arrows were shot from the dense forest.
