Chapter 722 Preservation Technology

"..."

"Poison of corruption?"

The previous encounter made Lindsay mistakenly believe that he and the deformed were on different paths, and it was even possible that in the [Dust Road World], the two sides would never collide.

But the clues to the puzzle that were clearly visible before him were a reminder from reality.

The deformed ones are in the [Dust Path World].

Moreover, they were walking in the front, not only rushing to the [City of Law], but also causing considerable trouble to the world along the way.

Lindsay: [Alice?]

Lindsay looked at Alice.

The upright girl was standing in the distance, building another temporary house.

Her construction skills were less sophisticated than Lindsay's, so she was naturally slower, and no one had moved into the house she had not yet finished building.

Meanwhile, Alice's attention was not on the camp.

She quietly looked in the direction of the city wall, thinking about the Silver Witch who was sitting there. Her perception ability could detect her presence.

The defeated seventh-stage awakener was in good condition, without any sense of dejection from being injured and retreating.

Sneak into the city walls and look for the spaceship.

The Silver Witch is undoubtedly the biggest obstacle.

Alice didn't divert her attention until she heard the voice in her friend list.

Alice: What happened?

Lindsay: [Look at all the wounded being transported here.]

【…】

Alice: [Corruption poison? This is the power of the Deformed! ]

Lindsay: [They came to this world earlier than us, and it seems that they have done a lot in the front. I even have a guess - the defeat of the Silver Witch is related to the Deformers. ]

Alice: [We need to get more information. If the Deformers really leave a threat in this world, we must warn the people here before we leave.]

Lindsay: [That's right - in terms of stealth, my ability is more flexible. I will go to the city to look for the spaceship at night. Alice, you stay outside and be responsible for gathering information about the Deformers. Let's complete the task as quickly as possible.]

Lindsay and Alice discuss their plans for the evening.

In order to cope with the variables, Lindsay has also increased his investment in construction work. If tonight's exploration is unsuccessful, he will consider using his construction ability as a "pass" to join the ranks of city construction, or even castle construction.

at dusk.

A wooden cart was pushed out from under the city wall, carrying a batch of food.

There is no problem with the treatment of the workers here, and everyone eats the same food.

But after receiving today's dinner.

Lindsay only took a bite and couldn't help but stick out her tongue and complain in the friend channel:
Lindsay: [Is this really for human consumption? It’s too sweet!]

Alice: [Lindsay, can you cook dinner tonight? ]

The fact is, even the strong-willed girl who does right by her husband felt that the food that was delivered was too sweet.

The food in the City of Silver is made from local ingredients, using berries or plants from the Sky Island for cooking.

But in order to supply a large number of people, keeping the food fresh becomes a problem.

usually.

A chef, an awakened person, is capable of doing such a job.

However, due to the weak abilities of these awakened people, they are extremely rare in every world.

Using ordinary people's technology, if you want to keep food fresh - in the [Dust Road World], in order to meet this need, people choose to coat the surface of the food with a layer of special sticky syrup.

What Lindsay and Alice were eating at the moment was a hard cake made of berries mixed with starch. The rich sweetness of the syrup was wrapped and blended, and also completely penetrated into the cake.

The eater takes a bite.

The sweetness of berries mixed with the sweetness of syrup rushes to your throat, and it's so sweet that it even hurts between your teeth!
[Sugar berry cakes - sweet cakes made from berries and root powder, covered with a layer of colorful sambal fruit syrup. This type of syrup has an extremely high osmotic pressure close to honey. The high concentration of sugar is extremely unfriendly to microorganisms, thus achieving a fresh-keeping effect. ]

"..."

Lindsay: [Come to me before going to bed tonight and we will have a snack.] Lindsay agreed to the suggestion of a snack.

Before taking action, he planned to prepare some special meals for himself and Alice.

After all, this kind of food is so sweet that it makes your scalp numb.

……

That night, Lindsay and Alice came to an open space next to the sky island.

There are two kinds of people around the camp.

The first type is the workers who have been tired after a day's work and have fallen into a deep sleep at night; the second type is those who have just been transported in from outside the sky island and are physically and mentally exhausted, or even seriously injured, and fall into a coma at night.

Lindsay didn't even need to play cover.

He called Alice, built a bonfire in a secluded place, took out the ingredients and started cooking.

Alice was standing by.

The upright girl even breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lindsay take out a portion of wolf meat:
"You must be kidding. The food here is too sweet."

"It stands to reason that food should be part of boosting the morale of the soldiers. Aren't you afraid that providing this kind of food to your own men will have the opposite effect?"

Lindsay, who was handling the ingredients, shrugged:

"This is how the supplies in this world are. They can be said to adapt to local conditions and choose the food that best suits the environment."

Hearing this, Alice suddenly explained:

"Lindsay, it's okay for you to force me to eat it, but it's really..."

Lindsay shook her head sympathetically:
"No need to explain, I'm the same as you."

He took out a piece of roasted meat and handed it over, while making a real statement:
"If you let me eat something so sweet every day, I won't be able to adapt to it!"

Taking advantage of the night, Lindsay and Alice secretly finished their barbecue together.

Lindsay then put out the campfire, but instead of walking towards the camp, he faced the towering city wall behind him.

Lindsay and Alice both have fairly strong perception abilities.

Unlike the camp outside where work stops at night, people inside the city are also working in full swing at night. The source essence belonging to the craftsmen or other types of awakeners are appearing one after another.

Lindsay said slowly:

"Just like what we discussed during the day. Next, I plan to sneak into this city."

"Alice, you are responsible for dealing with the wounded here and obtaining information about the Deformed. Is that ok?"

Lindsay's arrangement actually took another issue into consideration.

That is Alice’s skill.

Those who do right can only be born from the possessors of the essence of will, and because of their powerful skills, they can easily influence the thoughts of others as long as they are willing to use them.

So in terms of gathering intelligence.

Like the artists of the Seven Seas Alliance, those who practice justice have great innate advantages.

The only problem to overcome.

It's up to Alice, who behaves honestly, to decide whether she's willing to do so.

"..."

As Lindsay expected, Alice fell silent.

But just as he was about to persuade her, the girl in front of him spoke:

"With power comes responsibility, Lindsay."

“I don’t want to use my skills to change other people’s ideas.”

After expressing her attitude, Alice's eyes were determined.

She stated her final decision:

"But if it is necessary for this world, for the sake of millions of lives, I will act."
