1 Slave with a Bag
"Hey! Stop being slow. Do you want us to wait for you if a mere person carrying a bag?"
This is a place that looks like a lost fairyland.
Looking around, the places where you see are covered with green moss. Whether it is rusty road signs, abandoned cars that have no owners on the roadside, or dilapidated buildings that seem to be abandoned by the old era are covered with green. It is like covering the earth with a green gauze.
Lush and dense trees can be seen everywhere, growing from the cracks in the cement ground and from the gaps in the building walls, demonstrating their tenacious and extraordinary vitality.
What was near before us was the place where the Fountain Square in the center of the mall was supposed to be. A big tree that looked like a thousand-year life span stood. Its branches and leaves broke through the zenith of the mall and covered the entire mall.
It seems that this scene has been formed after a very long period of time. But in fact, it has only been five years since the drastic change that changed the human world.
Five years, it is not long or short. At least it is enough to change the original structure of human society.
In front of the entrance of this mall, there is a team of young men and women wearing exquisite leather armor. If they were placed in such strange costumes in the past, they would definitely attract a lot of surprise eyes, but now this outfit seems to be an adventurer in an illusion novel is no wonder.
Among this group, in addition to the adventurer men and women who obviously look easy to make, there are three men in ragged clothes, carrying huge bags, and walking in front with hunched backs.
The adventurer looked like the leader among the men and women. The somewhat arrogant man looked at the three people walking slowly in front of him, and was not angry and kicked the man in the middle.
The huge force and heavy load made the man's knees weak and he fell directly to the ground.
"Tsk, it's such a useless waste." The leader cursed.
This naked behavior, like a slave owner, was not dissuaded by anyone. In the past world, it was an act that violated morality and law, but in this new world there was no restraint.
Without law and morality, the so-called strong can insult the humble and the weak.
"Cough, cough! cough!"
Cheng Ran, who was kicked to the ground, had a violent slump and coughed in pain, and his face, which was pressed against the mossy ground, had no need to hide his anger and humiliation.
Five years ago, the existence called the gods was born from nothingness. With the place where they were born, the domain named the divine realm spread out and soon covered almost all the land of mankind.
Not only the earth, the sky, the ocean, all territories that once belonged to humans were plundered. Species that once stood at the top of the food chain felt the humiliation of wanton crushing life from higher dimensions.
Within the Divine Realm, the rules were tampered with, countless humans were unable to adapt to the new world and died, only a few people barely survived, and the population suddenly dropped by 90%.
The influence of the divine realm on humans is not only that. As long as it is within the divine realm, the closer it is to the gods, the more polluted the spirit of the creatures will be. When the pollution index reaches 100, creatures including humans will degenerate and become descendants of the evil gods, which is the so-called...monster.
Of course, humans are not powerless to resist.
They were told by the supreme existence that all this was just a game. They indeed obtained attributes, professions, and special abilities just like characters in the game. As long as they complete the feat of killing gods, the divine realm will disappear and humans will regain their territory.
The game will be declared over by expelling all the gods. Players who kill the Last God will gain an unconditional wish - whether it is eternal life or endless wealth and power, as long as possible.
In order to defeat the gods, humans formed a group called the Guild.
It was after joining a guild called "Fengyue" five years ago that Cheng Ran signed an unequal treaty, and was exploited as a material porter to this day.
Five years ago, he was just a young man who had just entered high school. He thought that humans in the world were beautiful and friendly, and he had no doubts about the contract that seemed very normal, so he naturally became the exploited person.
He was angry, he regretted, he was desperate, but as a member of the "incompetent" he was powerless to resist.
A hand stretched out in front of him seemed to want to pull himself up. Cheng Ran looked up slightly and saw Guo Da, a classmate who joined Fengyue and became a slave five years ago.
Guo Da saw Cheng Ran's expression and noticed Cheng Ran's silent fists and gritted teeth. He looked at Cheng Ran with his dark and unsightly eyes and said hoarsely: "Have you given up on struggling yet? It's useless. Relax, anyway, we don't have the right to resist. If the emotions are too intense, it will be bad for the body... If you are seen to be dissatisfied, today's supper may be gone..."
Cheng Ran grabbed Guo Da's hand and looked at Guo Da, who was once black and strong, and he couldn't help but look sad.
"Hey, what are you two whispering!?"
The leader of the team walked over with anger, then looked at Guo Da, stared at him and said, "Also, who allowed you to help him up?"
"Ah?" Guo Da's face showed a slightly astonished expression. He stuttered: "I, I'm worried that he will slow down your affairs..."
"Oh? You are so loyal. Very good!"
The leader smiled, pointed to the entrance of the mall, and said, "Since that's the case, then you can go in and explore the way first."
"Ah?" Guo Da's pupils shrank, and his originally godless eyes had focal length. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Cheng Ran, stretched out his finger and pointed: "Sir, choose him, it was him who fell and slowed down your affairs!"
Cheng Ran's body stiffened, and he and Guo Da looked at each other, looking at each other's fearful and hysterical face, and couldn't believe that this was something he said from his best friend in high school.
Bait.
This is another job for them, the porters.
The guild needs resources to operate. Where do these resources come from? They come from hunting the descendants of the evil god.
Using bait is a cost-effective solution to reduce the risk of hunting. As we all know, "bait" is a consumable.
At the beginning of this hunt, their team had five porters, and after experiencing two hunting points, there are only three people left.
This last hunting place, the mall, as one of the densely populated areas at the time of the birth of the gods, is undoubtedly several times more dangerous than the first two. It would be fine if all the transporters entered together like before, and life and death are all in their destiny, and no one blames anyone.
Now that Guo Da said this to Cheng Ran, the meaning is equivalent to - "Die for me."
