Wasteland Survival System and Dogs

Chapter 101 Reality

She knelt down on the ground and said tremblingly to Jing'an.

"We have no relatives here, and after one month's income is taken away from food and lodging, there are only a small handful of bottle caps left."

"We don't even have money to see a doctor. We have been living in our rooms since winter, and sometimes we have to endure the harassment of this old man..."

Just like a canine animal, showing weakness like showing its weak belly to the strong, Jing An's brows began to frown unconsciously.

It's all too real.

Even though I keep repeating in my heart, everything that appears in this cliff pass may be an illusion that is closer to reality.But even so, this distinct and individual personality in front of him could not be ignored by him.

He is obviously a weird guy without a soul, but why does he have such a detailed identity setting?

In comparison, the combination of the previous town and the pumpkin cart is like the gap between graffiti and sketch.

According to the remaining information in the system, although the illusion pathway can indeed be used to this extent, the cost of maintaining such a detailed dream is simply not something ordinary mutants can bear.

Jing An's complexion was normal, he gave up thinking quickly after a little contemplation - rather than analyzing these clueless features, it is more appropriate to focus on the task at hand.

"Please, please..."

The pleading words were stopped by the sudden movement.

Jing An stepped forward a few steps, and picked up Jasmine who was kneeling on the ground.His face was covered by a cloth, and there was no sign of any emotional fluctuations at all.

A strong sense of crisis spread from bottom to top, instantly turning Jasmine's body into a shocking coldness.Her lips trembled, as if she was about to let out a final scream to warn others in the tavern - but before it could take shape, Jing'an hit her on the back of the neck.

Under a moderate impact, blood circulation was instantly blocked.The coma caused by the lack of oxygen in the brain flooded in like a tide, submerging Jasmine's consciousness in an instant.

The limp body was held in Jing'an's arms, he looked around, Dang even reached out and pulled a piece of dried bacon hanging above his head.After skimming off these stone-hard pieces of meat, a thick and greasy hemp rope was obtained.

Regardless of the greasy grease, Jing An simply made two gestures and bound it to her body.Thanks to Jasmine's relatively small body, Jing An curled her up into a ball, and finally hung it firmly on her chest.

Like a koala with cubs hanging from it.

After making preparations, footsteps sounded from the side at the right time.Accompanied by a burst of short shouts, the joy beyond words came from outside the door.Listening carefully, it was the other maid who had turned back.

"Jasmine! Guess what I got?! The hand cream that is popular in the south! The frostbite on your hands can be regarded as a cure. You know, this stuff doesn't have a long shelf life. I bought it from the caravan for only three bottle caps. I bought it!"

She opened the door and entered, but all she saw was a boss lying on top of the stove.

"Mo...Li?"

No one responded.

In the whole room, there was only a sliding window that was half-opened at one side. At this time, a cold wind was blowing slowly from it, bringing bursts of biting chill.

…………

What to do now?
Without systematic and clear guidance, Jing'an had to make a plan for her next actions.

Fortunately, as early as the cross-screen negotiation with Jasmine, Jing'an had already started to make proper plans—the most convenient way was naturally to go back the same way, so as to have a round with Old Popsicle and Aisha.However, although this idea seemed good, Jasmine, who was wrapped around her chest, was a big obstacle when she wanted to climb up that steep cliff.

After all, no matter how you think about it, it is not an easy task to carry a group of living people weighing nearly a hundred catties across the mountains.

The turbulent thoughts were entangled together, but in the end Jing An sorted them out one by one until a clear plan floated in his mind.

"Time is precious. If you don't find out more information now, it will only make the situation more complicated later."

To say that I don't worry about those two guys... that must be a lie.The situation at the cliff pass is even more complicated than expected. Under the premise that it is not necessary, it is natural that the farther away the better.

What's more, taking advantage of this opportunity, Jing'an still has some matters that must be investigated clearly.

For example... How does the communication method of the cliff pass and the record keeping to prevent the invasion of foreign enemies work?

While the opponent has no mutants to participate in the defense, Jing'an can rely on her own extraordinary strength to obtain more information.

After confirming the plan, Jing'an no longer hesitated.His legs exerted strength in an instant, and the muscles all over his body tensed and swelled at the same time, until they began to turn slightly red and emit a trace of heat.

The heart of a giant, running at full speed.

With the horsepower fully turned on, Jing'an had no intention of covering up her whereabouts at all.His silhouette flew across the avenue, and soon attracted the attention of many passers-by and locals.

"A stranger has entered town!"

At the same time that this information was confirmed and spread, melodious horns sounded from all over the place until they became one after another.

The whole town seemed to be awakened in an instant, sleepy passers-by returned home one after another, and walked out after a while.The faces of these residents holding steel forks and shotguns were solemn, and at this time they showed a cautious look as if they were facing a big enemy.

A somewhat serious atmosphere began to spread in the air, and shouts began to sound around Jing'an.As he looked around, he chose a flatter path that would allow him to better observe the environment.

The advantages of mutants are fully displayed at this moment.

If she just wanted to dodge bullets, Jing An didn't even need to use bullet time.

At the same time, Jing'an also took advantage of this opportunity to quietly knock out several sturdy northern men.After several inspections, their bodies were also empty.

They are all soulless entities.

Burying this information deep in her heart, Jing An put down the middle-aged man who was still in a coma in her hand.He raised his head slightly, tilted his ears, and tried his best to understand the eerie sound of the horn.

"Is it possible to complete a relatively simple exchange of information through playing sounds of different lengths..."

In the absence of relatively suitable remote communication, it is obviously a very efficient performance to be able to do this.At the same time, Jing'an also took this opportunity to get a general feel of the scope of the entire cliff pass.

The settlements built by attaching to the cliffs present a sinuous and tortuous shape like the body of a snake.With a total length of about tens of miles, the outposts and small residential areas are distributed in blocks, so that the entire settlement maintains a certain degree of communication without being completely blocked.

The geographical distribution of very memorable points is also one of the unique features.

Under the current snow-covered environment, it actually helped Jing'an play a role of shelter.Under the blizzard where humans and animals can be distinguished from almost ten meters away, trying to find intruders on this large piece of frozen soil is undoubtedly an exaggerated waste like finding a needle in a haystack.

However, Jing'an did not relax at all.

After all, no one is a fool.

Knowing that it was a waste of energy, the only reason to mobilize manpower to round up... that is that the other party must have unknown means.

If you want to continue exploring, the information you get will naturally be of higher value.But at the same time, the risks are gradually increasing.

Are income and expenditure equal?
