Wasteland Survival System and Dogs

Chapter 60 Elsa
Jing An half turned around, just in time to see a girl walking forward slowly.Her clothes were also in tatters, and her disheveled appearance could even make people mistake her gender.
"Sir, we come from a gathering place dozens of miles away from here. There is no official name for it, but we all call it the town of Klasson."

"I know this place, you continue."

Jing An half-raised her eyelids, paused slightly, and continued.

"A small settlement in the southwest? You should belong to the area under the jurisdiction of Hu Jingcheng, and there should be a means of contacting the city guards inside, right? How did you end up like this?"

It is not uncommon for settlements to be attached to large cities, such as the small town of Krasson. They only need to regularly pay tribute to the town they belong to and collect information to be included in the ranks of asylum.

Generally speaking, the military strength of these small towns is not much worse.

Three robbers armed with assembled guns can slaughter an entire small settlement?I am afraid that children will laugh their teeth out when I say it.

"Sir, you know our situation so well, are you from Hu Jingcheng?"

"It's just a traveler passing by. He just knows some of the current situation nearby."

Under the reminder of the system, Jing'an knows all settlements and villages.

And even though Jing'an had already defended, the girl who spoke at this time couldn't help showing a little excited expression.

Except for native-born locals, almost no one can understand the local situation like this.

This gentleman must be Hu Jingcheng's city guard!

She pursed her lips and continued.

"I don't know much. Because of Grandpa Maika, I only know that an emergency gathering notice was suddenly issued yesterday in Hu Jingcheng. As an affiliated settlement, we have the obligation to participate in major decision-making discussions."

Urgent assembly.

Jing'an's brows raised slightly, he was no stranger to this statement.

In Jiang Yue's recollection, it clearly marked its purpose—events involving the survival of the city-state needed to gather all high-level officials for a discussion meeting on direction and decision-making.

"What happened to Hu Jingcheng...?"

Jing'an couldn't help but think of the puzzle of large-scale events prompted by the system earlier, and wondered whether this trip to the north also included the special situation of this border city-state.

"It's more complicated than expected."

Jing An rubbed her chin and said without raising her head.

"Don't worry about me, just keep talking."

"Okay sir! It happened yesterday evening. These guys took advantage of the mayor's absence to attack the outpost and then started setting fire to it. Taking advantage of the chaos, they shot and killed Grandpa Macca and other uncles, and then..."

Although the trembling voice's description was gentle, it also brought back painful memories, and these orphans began to sob in a low voice.
"Okay, I see, thank you."

Hu Jingcheng held an emergency assembly meeting, and the surrounding town of Kelasong was looted, and it is estimated that there are only ruins left now-the information that needs to be collected is already clear.

Jing An nodded expressionlessly, he groped, took out a small yellow straw from his waist, and stuffed it into the girl's hand.

"The young sprouts of cabbage can be chewed in the mouth to generate heat, and they can also play a role in dispelling the cold in this kind of weather."

"Following the southwest direction, there is a trail under the cliff slope, and that's all I can say."

"Wish you guys good luck."

He turned around without hesitation, and walked quickly towards the old Popsicle beside him.

"Sir, sir! Wait, please wait!"

Whispered pleas cannot be exchanged for a little bit of mercy. For Jing An, he has not yet reached the point where he can give alms to others.

In desperation, the girl's voice suddenly rose, and her hiss pierced through the frost crystal, carrying a sense of pleading.

"Sir! Take us with you! We'll all freeze to death walking alone in this weather!"

Compared to these, what is more frightening are the mutant beasts lurking everywhere.If you encounter someone on the way, you will be the luckiest result if you are close to death.

"Then what does it matter to me?"

A simple request cannot be exchanged for mercy, so...you can only hope for the other party's kindness.

"Sir, I, I can do a lot of things! I can help you wash and cook. As long as you help us get out of this tundra, I will sacrifice my life for you!"

Jing An turned her head halfway, and couldn't help but let out two dry laughs.

"You have such a small body, I'm afraid you can't even twist your robes clean."

"No, it's more than that! Sir, I can also do some simple crafts! Like maintaining firearms and repairing motors, I can also help!"

Jing An shook his hand, he didn't care about this at all.

"Also, and... I can still send simple telegrams and know some simple planting knowledge! I can make peace knots, and I can speak the dialect of the northern border. I, I..."

He tried his best to show his own characteristics to the other party, but failed to get a little bit of affirmation.Under despair and self-blame, she finally couldn't keep her restraint anymore, and fell to her knees on the ground with a plop, shaking her lowered head, and finally shed tears of grievance.

"Please, don't go, don't go..."

"Stand up."

A male voice like the sound of heaven came from in front of him, and he raised his head in astonishment.

The so-called survival from a desperate situation is nothing more than that.

"You said you can understand the native dialect in the north, can you still say yes?"

"Yes... yes, sir."

The snot and tear stains were wiped on the dirty cuffs, and after trying her best to restrain her voice, her voice finally seemed less distorted.

"My father is from the highlands, and he was taught the native language when he was a child. It's just that the usual environment is not suitable, so he has always spoken in the common language of the Commonwealth."

"……good."

The dialect in the north is indeed a knot in Jing'an's heart.In the materials deliberately prepared by the system, although there are indeed complete highland dialect syllables, if you want to completely master a foreign language in a short period of time... unless Jing An is willing to use the rehearsal ability that is only left for one time.

In other words, Jing'an really needs an aborigine who can help translate Highland.

On the contrary, compared to hiring local adults, this little guy in front of him... might be a good choice.

It was the first time for Jing An to look seriously at the little guy in front of him.

Knotted, split ends of brown hair exaggerated like a fried puppy.The wide forehead and high nose make the face more masculine, coupled with the narrow face and small mouth, a neutral and slightly weak face is the appearance of this guy.

"Tell me your name."

"My name is Elsa, sir."

Jing An nodded slightly, folded his hands on his chest, and turned his eyes to the setting sun that was beginning to slant - in a while, it will be dark.

"My name is Jing'an. You don't need to bring me sir to call me in the future. Now, just get ready."

"Let's go."
