The Godsfall Chronicles

There is no shortage of ruins in the wilderness.

How glorious civilization was.

Now the ruins are lost.

These formerly glorious places have become nests for waste-pickers and wild beasts.

Ruins, however, are not totally worthless, and some can not only tap into the wisdom of previous civilizations, but can also tap directly into tools and even weapons from the age of mysterious ancient technology.

People tend to prefer to call such places relics.

The southern wilderness is sparsely populated, fraught with crises and, in some places, full of opportunities.

One area called Shataba, full of mountainous ruins, is filled with many lucky people who have found the legendary weapon, which leaps into the sky as inspirational stories, many of which are processed and exaggerated in circulation and even translated into different versions.

But for the waste-pickers who live here.

These stories are the beacon of life.

So they were convinced that this was a miracle that could change fate, and so thousands of waste-pickers gathered here.

But just because it brings together nearly 10,000 waste-pickers, it also turns this otherwise extremely complex area into a hotbed of evil breeding. Every day, there are grabbing killings and hunting grounds for wild beasts. Every day, a large number of weak waste-pickers die without a corpse.

But it's very dangerous, someone insists.

Young grey rabbits and little sister bugs are one of them.

Wilderness sometimes has a name that stands for capability.

Seventeen or eighteen years old would call him Grey Rabbit such a strange name, mainly because the boy ran like a rabbit, and his skin looked grey black, so he was called Grey Rabbit, the escaping Grey Rabbit.

Grey Rabbit has a sister worm about his age. The worm is born small and thin and weak. Although it is about the same age as Grey Rabbit, it appears to be only in its early teens and very timid, so it is called the worm, the chicken worm.

The two are undoubtedly the lowest level waste-pickers in the wilderness, who dare not conflict with people, dare not fight with people, and dare not go to more places, but the world is so wonderful that even a single ant in a stone stitch can find its own way to survive.

The strong have the way of life of the strong, and the weak have the way of life of the weak.

Sometimes the strong do not necessarily live longer than the weak.

Neither the Grey Rabbits nor their sisters had the ability to hunt, and the main way of earning a living was to dig ruins, a vast expanse of open-air ruins that used to be a huge manufacturing base in the old era, capable of producing a wide variety of machines, some of which remained undamaged even thousands of years later.

Grey rabbits dig up some intact pieces through the ruins, and they secretly hide them, not only because he can run, but also because he's smart, like a cunning rabbit, always putting his property in different places.

Unlike her brother, the insect is weak and unable to move heavy objects, but she is another talent that no one can match. She has a high talent for machines. Although she is not trained in any way, she can observe and study the excavated antiquities and drawings and then use the parts to assemble a variety of relatively complete parts.

The division of labour between the two is very simple.

The older brother Grey Rabbit specializes in finding useful parts and materials, while the younger sister worm assembles new parts and eventually brings them to the camp for sale, thus multiplying the value of the parts themselves.

That's how they survived.

Weakness itself is not lethal as long as there is a way to earn a living.

The dream of the two is to dig up a treasure of sufficient weight so that they can change their destiny, like the legendary predecessors in countless inspirational stories, and live in a safer city of Shataba.

These scavengers know nothing about the farther world.

They see the city of Shataba as the centre of the world.

The city of Shataba is the safest place in the world.

…………

Another piece of work was successfully completed by the worm.

This thing looks like an ugly insect.

Insect surfaces are wrapped around complex lines, and when the worm connects them to a homemade battery, several propellers squeak, and this ugly metal insect slowly flies into the air.

“Wonderful!” Grey Rabbit is very happy, “this thing will definitely replace a stinking rat meat! ”

Little bugs are also relieved to wipe their sweat beads. Both of them have not tasted meat in days. Small aircraft can exchange for a piece of meat. So many days of suffering are worth it.

The two of them took out the dirty cloth and wrapped the ugly iron insects.

They hope to find wilderness merchants to acquire as soon as possible.

Whether you can eat meat or not depends on the deal.

The camp is actually small, not so much a camp, but rather a small temporary establishment dedicated to the exchange of goods, because there is no decent accommodation here, and at most there are only three or two hundred people gathered there.

“Stop! ”

When Grey Rabbit and Little Bug sneaked in here, a big man with a meaty face came and stopped directly in front of two people. Two people saw this face change dramatically. Grey Rabbit rushed to tell Little Bug to go, but Little Bug just turned around, and there were two men with knife and fierce evil behind him.

The gray rabbit pulled out his short sword and shook his voice and shouted, "What? ”

“What?” the leader smiled and walked over, "I heard you two scumbags can always make some strange things, show them to us today! ”

The little bug hugged the cloth bag in his arms and the grey rabbit drank angrily: "No way! ”

“You think I'm talking to you? ”

The gray rabbit didn't even look clearly.

With a sore wrist, the short sword was knocked off and broken into two pieces on the floor.

The gray rabbit tried to turn his head and escape, and was kicked over with one foot and then picked up with one hand.

“Here you go, all of you!” The little bug screamed in horror, and she hurried to hand over her cloth bag: “Let go of my brother! ”

“You want him alive? No, you can't!” The boss gazed at the thin body of the worm, “although it was nothing, but it was a woman. If you serve a few of our brothers every day and work for us honestly in the future, we can spare him a life. ”

The gray rabbit shouted, "No! Don't!”

The man became angry with shame and slapped the gray rabbit in the teeth.

The little bug said, "I'm going, I'm going, I'm going with you! ”

“That's how it works. ”

The boss laughed insidiously and waved at his opponents. They used to grab the worm, but at this point, a voice came from behind.

“You've got a lot of nerve, touching my guests! ”

All three wilderness thugs look at each other in a daze.

A young man dressed entirely differently from the picker walked out, looking younger than thirty years old, tall, shaving his head, wearing all kinds of metal hangings and equipment from head to foot, wearing machine armor stretched like a spider, with a big masked head beside him.

It's a sand tiger!

Three wildlife thugs have changed their faces!

Sha Hu is not a normal person, no one knows his exact origin.

Sha Hu comes from Sha Taba City, and even inside Sha Taba City, he has a high status.

Often this guy comes to the camp three or five times apart, buying all kinds of parts dug up by the waste-pickers with food or weapons, so he has a high reputation among the waste-pickers, who he never bullies and who are fair-minded, so the waste-pickers are willing to trade with him.

Grey Rabbit Bug has traded with Sandhu a dozen times.

The boss became angry: “Mind your own business! ”

Sha Hu hey smiled: “They are my long-term dealers. If you take them away, I will suffer losses. How can you talk about minding your own business? I can spare your life if I persuade you to. ”

“What do you think you are!” The boss held his fist and yelled, “How dare you be so arrogant to me here? Go on, kill him! ”

That's what wildlings are like.

Kill if you don't agree.

Life is so cheap.

The Sandhu background isn't simple? Whatever the background, what can you do to them if you kill them all, then slap their asses and fly away?

“Really looking for death! ”

The big man in the mask behind the sand tiger suddenly walked one step forward and blocked himself in front of the sand tiger. The knife of the two thugs was cut on him, only two stinging crisps were heard, and his clothes were torn out of his mouth, revealing traces of metal from inside.

“What is this?! ”

When the two of them are scared.

This big head of lightning punched two punches, the heads of two people were smashed like watermelons, the broken skulls and brain tissue were all over the ground, the head's face changed dramatically, he had seen that the guy next to the sand tiger was not a living man, but a giant robotic monster.

He was screaming to escape.

A deafening gunshot.

The boss looked desperately through his chest.

Obviously, this is what he never dreamed of.

“Is that all you can and dare to do?” Sha Hu blew the mouth of the oversized revolver in his blower and then walked to two people: “I've been watching you for a while, you two seem to be a little skilled, but it's just too weak. If you stay in this place, someone will kill you sooner or later, why don't you follow me and I'll take you to Shataba City. ”

Both of them were shocked.

“But we are not yet eligible to enter Shataba. ”

The city of Shataba is the largest wilderness city here, and it is not inadmissible that they, the scavengers, should go in, but first pay an alarming amount and then pay taxes on a regular monthly basis, which cannot be done under the current conditions of two people.

“Ha ha, it used to be different, now in Shataba City, my dad is the owner of the city, now I'm in charge!” The Shah does not hide his identity, "as long as you two and I are together, Shataba will reuse you! ”

The Lord's son?

When did Shataba change the owner?
