Chapter 700 War World

Chapter 700 War World
Of course it is impossible to get more information just by watching from where you are.

Lindsay and Alice quickly set off, walking down the mountain and sneaking into the center of the city.

[Horror Game]'s skills are very effective.

Lindsay and Alice were like two ghosts, walking through the sky island city where the atmosphere was as solid as iron.

The veil of the [Dust World] is being unveiled to them.

In fact, it’s not just the guards you see on the city walls.

In this city, even the residents living in the city usually have serious expressions and you can hardly see happy smiles on their faces.

And between the streets and houses.

Occasionally, one could see people being taken away by conscripts.

But what is even more strange is that these conscripted residents did not show any sadness or anger that showed resignation to fate on their faces.

They showed an unusually relaxed acceptance of this situation.

Not happy to join the war, but not resisting it either.

Based on Lindsay's analysis, this does not seem to be a culture born out of military merit rewards, nor does it seem to be a surging public opinion caused by forced military service.

Lindsay: [Alice, what do you think? ]

Alice: [Being numb to the war, this is...very tricky.]

Lindsay and Alice discussed in the online game interface, but there was no result for the time being.

They continued walking for two kilometers in the city until they saw several disabled men talking under a wooden roof:

"This weather is neither cold nor hot, neither wet nor dry. There is nothing bad, nor is there anything fun to be had. Alas - this is the city at the edge of the world."

"Think positively, at least there is a stable life here."

"Safe? Then how did I lose my leg? I just fought off a group of them two months ago!"

"Okay, at least we're still in the outer world."

"If it's in the central ring or the core area - let alone an island like ours with resources! Even if it's a useless wasteland, there will be people fighting for their lives every ten days or half a month!"

The men were still discussing the topic of war.

But its attitude, as Lindsay and Alice saw, was filled with a kind of numbness towards the war.

Let’s not talk about the whole world, just this city.

The residents here seem to have regarded war as a part of their lives.

Just like eating, sleeping, and celebrating some holidays, there is no 'normal' yearning for peace.

Lindsay and Alice's frowns deepened.

They continued walking towards the city, intending to check out the water source in the center of the city and confirm the status of the Sky Island's resource output.

Even if the target only passes through this world.

But having a more detailed understanding of intelligence is always the right choice.

The two soon arrived at the fountain.

Lindsay glanced at the face of Goddess Alice beside her, and the girl's gray pupils were a little dim.

The reason why [Moon Crying Mountains] and [Dust Road World] have become what they are now.

The reason is still the war in the [City of Law].

As a righteous person and a participant in the sword fight, Alice experienced the failure of establishing her dominance, and she could not avoid self-blame.

Lindsay tried to comfort her companion:

[At least this place is better than the wasteland, civilization has not been cut off. ]

Alice didn't want to interrupt her sneaking with a sigh, so she just shook her head slightly:

But they are used to war.

[Although everything that happened in the City of Law was for the sake of order, the price was too heavy for ordinary people and was not something they should bear.]

Alice thought about this too clearly.

In order to comfort the other party, Lindsay changed his thinking and started to analyze purely from a theoretical perspective;
[But this is inevitable. In a world ruled by centralized power, it has been slow to decide on a new ruler, and among them there are superhuman individuals, each fighting on their own, leading to this result is inevitable.]

Alice was indeed attracted by Lindsay's choice of words:
[Centralized rule? Superhuman individual? Is this the term you used in your previous life?] I learned about the tool called "science".

Alice is very curious about Lindsay's previous life and is quite interested in the knowledge contained therein.

Lindsay explained:
[Centralization is very simple, just like an organizer, who concentrates power and has the highest decision-making power over all matters; a superhuman individual, you can understand him as an awakener, which means that an individual has the ability to override others...]

Lindsay and Alice walked towards the city.

Along the way, they also saw some families whose members were missing, or orphans who were wandering on the road without anyone to rely on.

After being selected by the recruiters, these people even had smiles on their faces, which was rare in the city.

For those who prefer peace.

This scene really makes people feel mixed emotions, and it is difficult to describe the bad emotions in my heart.

In this way, Lindsay and Alice made their way to the center of the city.

The Fountain Square is a whole circle larger than when viewed from the top of the mountain, and it can be said to be a small lake.

To maintain stealth.

Lindsay did not give Alice the [Puzzle Game] module this time.

The righteous girl stopped by the pool, then closed her eyes slightly, and her keen perception told her the corresponding news.

Alice: [There is indeed guidance from the world's rules. ]

Lindsay used the skill of [Puzzle Game] to find out the news and shared the information in the friend channel:

[Sky Island Pond - The moisture in the air, guided by rules, gathers in this pond and is used as domestic water by people.]

Check the pool.

Lindsay and Alice walked around the city a few more times, and seeing that there was no other information to be obtained, they prepared to leave the city and continue their journey across the sky island.

If they encounter other cities in the future, they will continue this exploration.

Accumulated intelligence always comes in handy.

The two walked out of the city while communicating in the friend channel.

Alice: [Lindsay, where did the Aberrants go? ]

Lindsay: [Since they destroyed the roads between the islands, they must have been here. Why did they turn a blind eye to these living people? ]

Alice: [This is also where the doubts that I can’t figure out are. 】

Lindsay: [There are many people who have lived in this city for a long time. Some of them even settled here not long after the war in the [Capital of Law]. It is impossible that the Deformers slaughtered all the people and then moved here.]

The doubts were not answered.

But when the two were almost halfway out of the city, they were sneaking under the eaves to avoid the patrolling guards.

Suddenly, a line of text appeared on Lindsay's [Task Bar].

【Battle for Sky Island】

[The ancient world is engulfed in war!]

Conquering and being conquered, robbing and being robbed, this is the main theme of this world!
As an adventurer passing by.

Help this city resist the invasion of foreign attackers! 】

[Task Reward: Active Wing Parachute, Attribute/Skill Experience Points.]

Lindsay looked down at the properties panel.

Before he could tell Alice beside him the news.

woo-

In an instant, a loud trumpet sounded from the city wall.
