Chapter 645 A strange world
Everything along the steel coast blown by the sea breeze, the radiation and pollutants carried by it are already common for local creatures, but for humans above this world It is said that this moderate sea breeze can kill a human without any protective clothing in an instant.
And in this dangerous place, there are still human beings. They are the scavengers on this ancient battlefield. As for the origin of this ancient battlefield, it must come from those human beings in this world. And find the basis among the legends of thousands of years.
Legend has it that in the darkest era, the golden fleet from the sky saved the world from the darkest era, but the world’s redemption war also left the world The eternal wound, the plasma light descending from the sky brought radiation and heat flow to this world, and this once ancient battlefield became a world where scavengers seek life for generations. A place for supplies.
Those people living in giant steel cities will recycle these technological artifacts found on ancient battlefields from scavengers, and scavengers also rely on this transaction to exchange for their own status in this world. Materials, food, medicine, and water for survival in the world are all part of the exchange, and those living in the city will also crazily lower the price to the scavengers for some things. Therefore, the scavengers in this world have Life was indeed very bad.
In this terrible working environment, the deformity rate, disease rate and mortality rate of their offspring are very high. Most of the scavengers will not live to be 30 years old, but all of them They are still trying their best to live.
And now on this coast, a little girl is dragging a cart that is much larger than her, constantly searching for anything that can be exchanged for food with the city people. , legend has it that during that war, the former ruler of this world, the cruel tyrant, concentrated all his troops here, and precisely because of this, the tyrant’s army on this ancient battlefield All technological creations are here.
There are so many of them that the scavengers have been searching for thousands of years but have not found all the technological artifacts in this area, and the little girl dragged one that was bigger than herself. There were many carts, and she kept looking for what she wanted to find among the piles of ruins.
The sound of the protective clothing stepping on the ground was completely inconsistent with the size of the chess piece. The thick lead plate not only isolated the radiation, but also made her movements extremely clumsy. Her breath passed through the gas mask. It seems relatively heavy. In fact, the filter elements of this gas mask are hand-made by scavengers.
The durability of this thing is a matter of opinion. The filter elements of these gas masks only work for about three minutes in such a high-intensity radiation environment. Every time Every three minutes, the little girl will change the filter element of her gas mask. All she wants now is to find something more valuable.
Otherwise, her operation this time would become a complete loss-making business, and while she was constantly looking for those available technological artifacts, she suddenly saw a golden thing under the dim sunlight. , that thing seems to be the most inconsistent thing in this gray world, as if it should not appear here.
But this thing did appear. That golden light, the girl had never seen before. She had seen golden things before. It was the dome of those city people called the state church. I heard that those Residents in the city will accept the baptism ceremony in the church when they are just born and convert to a sect called the state religion.
But the girl never thought that she was like those people in the city, because it is already very difficult to live in this world. If she thinks about it so much, she will only bring some unnecessary things to herself. of confusion.
After a period of doubt and slight surprise, the girl immediately ran to the golden thing. She looked at the huge golden thing like a giant, and she saw the shining light on it at a glance. Gemstones with red and blue rays of light. In his impression, the people in the city liked these stones with strange luster very much.
If she can sell these stones to the rich ladies in the city, or to the nobles, then she can definitely harvest dozens of kilograms of energy bars, because she knows that there once was a scavenger like this Yes, the scavenger got a metal fragment inlaid with a red stone called ruby on the ancient battlefield, and the scavenger got dozens of kilograms of energy bars with this thing.
When she thought of this, the girl's heart blossomed with joy. She seemed to be very lucky today. Food for him and his family would be guaranteed for a long time to come, and just when she started from her own little recommendation He took out the cutting tool from the car and was about to cut the huge humanoid object and put it away on a trolley. The huge humanoid object suddenly started to move. He started cutting it from the ground, and then just like that. Staring at her at all times.
The girl looked at the humanoid object that suddenly sat up. She stared at him stupidly for a while with the cutting tool in her hand, and then she screamed. It was obvious that this little guy She was so scared that the sharpness of her voice could be heard through the heavy gas mask.
"Where is this? Or which world is this?"
Wang Ming looked at the petite figure in front of him and listened to the frightened voice coming from the gas mask. He asked the figure in low Gothic.
But the girl did not respond to Wang Ming’s question. She could not understand Low Gothic at all. The language of this world is the traditional language of this world, and it is also a type of Low Gothic. However, compared to some widely circulated Low Gothic languages, this language is not widely spread in the empire, and is only used at the local level in the local world.
The people at the lowest level in this world simply don't know how to communicate with the people of other empires. They don't even speak the same language.
Wang Ming looked at the person in front of him. After hearing his words, she did not answer any of his questions. He immediately realized that something was wrong. Humans in this world did not know how to use the most widely used low brother. Especially, you can only use translation tools to communicate. It is also very depressing to say that there is actually no completely unified language in the countless worlds of the empire.
In addition to the Gothic language used by the nobles and the official Empire, basically the civilians in each world have their own language. It can be said that humans who can speak the official Gothic language of the Empire in each world They are all rare beings on the planet. They are either nobles, officials in high positions, or businessmen from other planets.
The low-level civilians in these worlds cannot use the official language of the empire. This situation made Wang Ming very uncomfortable for a while. He once arranged a layout on Holy Terra Among those laws was a law that counted a unified language. However, due to some reasons and some imperial traditions, this law was not implemented in any way. Think about it, yes. In the tradition of the empire, the language of Gothic no longer only represents a language that can be communicated in a unified manner. It also represents power, which is the privileged class of the imperial aristocracy. symbol.
Wang Ming looked at the human being in front of him. He could tell from her previous voice that this was a woman who looked young. He could only take her out of this dangerous place first, and then think about how to get out of it. Something came out of her mouth.
On Wang Ming's tactical eyepiece, various surrounding environments are displayed. He already knows how bad the surrounding environment is. The radiation values around him are already so high that it is not possible to wear protective clothing. , a normal human being in an environment like mine would turn into a puddle of thick water in just a few minutes.
After Wang Ming thought of this, he directly grabbed the little girl in front of him, then looked at the surrounding environment, ignoring the little girl's scream after being caught, and Wang Ming looked at it After the small cart next to him, don't pull up the small cart. After all, he knows that for the vast number of people in the empire, their working tools are actually worse than theirs in some cases. life is more important.
Although he will definitely change the environment of this world after arriving in this world and fundamentally improve the people's livelihood in this world, under the current environment, it is impossible for him to let an empire civilian lose her. life tools, but then they don't have to do the work anymore, same thing.
Wang Ming just carried a little girl and a small cart, judging where he should go based on the weakening of radiation. He moved very fast, but he also took into account the constant pressure in his hand. The screaming little girl, just like that, Wang Ming took the child and ran out of the radiation zone.
I don't know how long it took before Wang Ming finally found a place without any radiation. After putting the numb girl and the stroller away, he took out a huge spray can and started spraying the girl. It turns out that this is a chemical substance that eliminates radiation. This kind of thing is used very frequently in the post-war reconstruction work of the Human Federation.
After all, in some cases, when the Human Federation conquers a world, the radiation index on those worlds will be very huge. In this case, this kind of thing will be rebuilt after the war. It is very useful at work.
After eliminating the effects of radiation on the girl, he directly took off the gas mask on the girl's head, then took out a collar-like thing and put it around the girl's neck. Above.
Wang Ming has used this kind of thing before. That was when he had not yet learned the High Gothic language. Although in a short period of time afterwards, Wang Ming spent three days learning the High Gothic language. language, but this thing still helped him a lot during the time when he didn't learn Gaoke language.
"Child, can you understand now? Do you know where this is?"
Wang Ming looked at the little girl in front of him who kept patting his chest, as if to comfort him who had just been frightened. He asked her in Gothic. After the girl heard what Wang Ming said, she She patted her ears and head very strangely. She was very surprised that she suddenly understood these languages that she had never heard before.
"This is the edge of the ruins of the ancient battlefield. Who are you?"
When the girl saw Wang Ming, her mouth squirmed a few times, and then the local world she was talking about The low Gothic language was immediately translated. With the help of simultaneous interpretation, Wang Ming's communication with humans in this world was completely without any obstacles.
"Child, be specific, which star..., which world is the planet."
Wang Ming looked at the girl in front of him. He looked at the girl's white hair and her Those pink eyes are obviously a symptom of albinism. Thinking of the extremely high radiation environment before, it is not surprising that such a mutated disease occurs, but it seems that the underlying environment above this world should be better. Yes, at least this girl should have parents to take care of her.
Otherwise, she would not have been able to live to this age in such an extremely harsh environment, but this good thing is only a little better than other worlds. After all, such a young child has to go to that dangerous place to work. It can also be seen that the living environment of people in this world is very bad.
"The world..., isn't it that world? What else is a planet? What is that?"
The girl looked at Wang Ming in front of her, the world and planet she told Wang Ming They all feel very strange. She has heard of the word world, but for planet..., she has never heard of this word, and she doesn't know what it means?
"Sorry kid, I'm too impatient, take me to your nest?"
Wang Ming looked at the child in front of him, and he also realized that he was impatient. You should not ask this child directly. You must know that with the education environment of the empire, 80% or 90% of the lower-class civilians in the empire have graduated from prenatal education. In their lives, there is no planet or world at all. concept.
"Hive City? Are they those huge cities? I have heard adults say that the names of those huge cities are called nest cities. Are you from those cities? I can take you there. I hope to get a piece of you. Gems as reward, if this request is a bit too much... you can also give me some food, just a little bit..."
The girl looked at Wang Ming, and she moved her body closer to her trolley for a while. , after he heard Wang Ming's words, he immediately realized that the giant in front of her might be a city dweller. She hoped to bring the giant back to the city as a deal so that she could get some food.
