Dark Ages.

Since the outbreak of the world-destructive war, the entire planet's ecosystem has been destroyed and reshaped, more than 60% of the species have become extinct, civilization has regressed, and entered the dark period, so it is collectively called the dark age.

The various survivor camps were closed and narrow, and there was no common epoch-calendar, but Wu Ming was quite clear that the dark period had lasted for more than ten years.

At this time, the humans living on the planet have changed more or less, and can be called new humans, and a strange organizational force is also rising rapidly.

Hermits!

This black hand, who was originally hidden behind the scenes and promoted the destruction of the world, has now established a new kingdom on the territory of the original Pandorn Empire.

There, everything is dominated by the will of the extraordinary, ordinary new humans are just slaves, and the higher the strength, the more privileges they hold. The superiors can even directly slaughter slaves for fun without paying any price, full of blood and sin.

In the Kingdom of Golden Oaks, the new Church of the God of Redemption led by Jay also developed rapidly. After absorbing a large number of believers from other cities' shelters, and Wu Ming also generously granted divine art, the power of the church also developed rapidly, with Kasper as the center and constantly eroding outward.

As for the Bauhinia Federation?

There was not much rise of supernatural powers there, but instead a chaotic situation.

Of course, no matter how these forces develop, they are still far inferior to the Golden Oak Kingdom and the Bauhinia Federation in the old era. They are basically at the level of a small ancient Greek city-state, and the traffic is quite blocked and there is little communication.

Is the reason? Naturally, it is the harsh environment and various dangers.

...

Golden Oak Kingdom.

A fully armed team of ancient style adventurers wearing leather armor, holding swords, guns, bows and arrows appeared on the field.

"Little Evan, this is your first time out hunting. Just be careful to protect yourself!"

First, a big man wearing black leather armor and with three claw marks and scars on his face said with a stern face: "Be careful not to drag us back. Once you fall into danger because of your stupidity, don't expect us to risk saving you!"

"I get it, Uncle Sebas!"

The boy named Evan looked only fifteen or sixteen years old at most. The fluff on his mouth had not yet faded. He was wearing a piece of obviously dissatisfied leather armor. His hands holding the gun bar were shaking because they tried too hard, showing pale knuckles.

"I'm already an adult, I'm an adult!"

Evan whispered.

The food in their camp was very tight, and all kinds of seeds from the old era could not grow on the land at all. Although several barely edible species were found from the mutated plants, the yield was really sad. The new humans in the dark era had a deep feeling about hunger.

As long as you get something to do with this kind of hunting team, you can at least get a portion of meat when you get something to go back alive, which greatly reduces the burden on the family.

"Oh... If it were the past, a little guy like you would not be easy and would have to work and earn money, at least he would not be in danger of his life..."

Sabas suddenly sighed.

"That bright era?"

Evan's eyes were filled with envy: "I heard that in that era, as long as you have banknotes, you could buy anything from the store!"

"Yeah, that's right!"

Sebas nodded affirmatively: "It's all the blame for that damn war!"

In a trance, even he felt incredible. Ten years have passed, and the young man who was originally a little cowardly has now grown into a real iron man.

It’s a pity that the carefree era is gone forever, and he can only relive those beautiful memories in his dreams.

"Isn't that the kingdom of the God of Redemption, the ideal country?"

Evan immediately said with great admiration.

Although he once lived before the war, he was still a little baby at that time and had no memory of the Steam Age. The most described thing he had heard was the kingdom of the God of Redemption.

There has been a myth circulating within the scope of the Golden Oak Kingdom.

Before the end of the world, Pope Steven, the God of Redemption, took a large number of believers to the kingdom of the gods.

There, there is no famine, no radiation, and no harsh climate and dangerous mutant beasts. Golden wheat spreads over the ground. With a little care, you can harvest enough bread to eat for a few years.

"Ideal Country? It's almost the same!"

Sebas has never really been to the Kingdom of God, and he can only answer this way: "I heard that only the most devout believers can go there..."

"Isn't even the Robin Paladin?"

Evan asked suddenly.

Paladin Robin, this is another rising legend of the Redemption Church after Jay.

The other party was only twenty-five or six years old, but he had become the chief paladin of the church, and had a very good reputation among the common people. He was circulated as the incarnation of benevolence, justice and protection.

Of course, it is also the dream lover of many girls and the idols of little boys.

"Robin..."

Sebas immediately didn't know how to answer, so he chose the most convenient form:

"Idiot! Is this the Death Wasteland or a time to chat?"

He punched Little Evan on the head: "Be careful! Some advanced mutant beasts are even wise. Don't think that they will be as stupid as wild beasts!"

"Boss!"

At this time, a capable female adventurer shouted: "There are traces!"

"Hmm? I'll take a look!"

Sebas opened the grass and looked at the slender beasts, and his face showed joy: "It's those cute white-eyed mice, and perhaps a few sharp-toothed rabbits, which is so great!"

Wild hunting is not an easy job, it is always accompanied by danger, especially among mutant beasts, there are also people who are equivalent to extraordinary people. Those high-level beast kings almost have wisdom that is comparable to humans and are not something ordinary people can deal with.

Their most ordinary adventure team is at most a fight for the wild wolf that is left alone. When they encounter larger beasts, they will lose their way. It can be said that they are struggling with their own lives.

Now that I see that my opponent is quite weak, I am naturally very happy.

I really hope to challenge the limits every moment. Those who dance on the wire are either fools or lunatics, or they are not normal people anyway.

"Chasing over and seeing if you can take out their nests!"

Sebas seemed to have a bright light in his eyes.

The nests of small wild beasts represent more things, such as there may be a piece of pudding root or a small fruit forest nearby. Most of the things they can eat can also be eaten by humans.

After all, after being eliminated by the harsh environment, there are not many people who are truly unable to withstand the ability.

"no problem!"

After discovering, the entire team was full of energy, and the female archer immediately began to track, while the others were sorting out their weapons.

Most of the things they use are steel knives, iron swords, bows, arrows, spears, etc. The tips of the weapons are polished very sharply, and most of them have blood grooves, which are obviously weapons.

The reason why bullets and gunpowder weapons are not used is that many of these beasts have undergone mutation and are thick-skinned and ordinary guns cannot be killed. The second is for logistical considerations.

After all, hunting and defense are production work that must be carried out every day, and the current survivor camp does not have a dedicated firearms and bullet production line.

It is okay to support a large-scale battle just by seizing from the ruins, but if you use it in this way in your daily life, you will definitely not be able to make ends meet. Therefore, those guns from the old era were regarded as secret weapons and were well protected in the survivor camp.

Due to the existence of superpowers, most of the current survivor camps are dominated by advanced extraordinary people.

The widespread use of cold weapons has made many people regain the martial arts that they have always looked down upon in the past, and have to exercise hard in order to survive.

The whole world seemed to be reversed by a strange force, and everything was changing towards a new social form.

The group tiptoed forward for a long time, and at the command of Sebas, they lurked in the grass collectively.

Huh!

The purple sun sets and the cold wind blows.

Because the ozone layer is already full of holes, the temperature difference between day and night is incredible. After the ultraviolet rays and scorching rays during the day, it turns into a biting cold wind at night.

If it were an ordinary person in the Steam Age, he would have become a dead dog at this time.

But after experiencing a mutation, even the most ordinary new humans have a great tolerance for radiation and environment. Even Evan, the thinnest, was just trembling at this time.

However, their lurking and waiting finally paid off.

"Squeak!"

I don’t know how long it took, in the night, Evan could clearly see the turf not far away being pulled open, and a few small heads popped out, and the white eyeballs were extremely conspicuous.

"The white-eyed rat, the most ordinary mutant beast, has similar combat power to that of a child!"

Evan's information came to his mind silently. In fact, he had eaten a lot of white-eyed rat meat, which had an unspeakable bitterness and scent, and the taste was not very good.

However, for ordinary people, there is nothing to be picky about if they can occasionally eat a meal of meat.

Whoosh!

After receiving the gesture of Sabas's eyes, the two archers in the team immediately bent their bows and arrows. A harsh sound of breaking through the air sounded, and the arrow accurately hit the two white-eyed mice and nailed them to the ground.

"charge!"

Sebas roared, quickly threw out a flying knife, and nailed the other white-eyed rat that fled in panic to death.

"ah!"

Evan jumped out of the grass with a spear in his arms, but unfortunately he tripped under his feet and fell an extremely ugly dog ​​gnawing on the mud.

“…”
