Arknights, the new kid Kevin no longer has to save the world

"Let's go in."

Outcast said with a smile, and at the same time he put his coat back on, covering up the guard gun that was deliberately exposed on his waist.

Sometimes it doesn't matter if the excuse is old or not, just supplement it with something else.

Faced with the dark muzzle of a gun, few people would dare to muster up the courage to say no.

The three of them entered the house, and the scenery inside was still not surprising.

Dirty, messy, poor, even the bare walls cannot describe the poverty here.

The bed made of soil was covered with hay mats. The moist soil in the corner was covered with moss, and there was a strange sour smell in the air.

.

The only bright spot was the heavily rusted spear hanging on the wall, which looked like a harpoon.

"Come on, water."

Masha carried out the only small pot in the house that was still relatively clean. At least the water in it was not turbid and khaki.

"Thank you."

outcast took out two water bottles from his waist, and his ring finger seemed to inadvertently stroke across the water.

Data and results flashed immediately on the watch.

She quietly winked at Shuangxing, indicating that there was no problem.

"Hurry up and leave as soon as you're done fetching water."

Seeing that the two of them had finished loading the water, the old man immediately issued an order to expel the guests.

However, the three of them were obviously not normal people and were not affected by his cold and hard attitude at all.

Not to mention being angry with others.

"Okay, but old man, do you know where the direction of Yanfeng City is?"

outcast can even laugh and ask him for news.

Upon hearing this name, the old man's eyes narrowed slightly, but they quickly returned to their previous appearance.

"I don't know, I don't know, I'm a country boy, I don't know what you are talking about...cough cough cough."

The old man refused to answer, and as he spoke he suddenly coughed violently, as if he was choking.

The little girl quickly patted his barren back, as if she wanted to use this behavior to relieve her grandfather's pain.

"Okay, then we won't stay any longer."

Seeing that the old man obviously didn't want to say more, Outcast didn't bother much, but stood up happily.

"let's go."

She said hello.

Shuangxing was puzzled. The old man in front of him was obviously hiding something in his heart. If he asked more questions in depth, he might be able to get some useful information.

Isn’t it a bit like just walking away?

"Let's go."

Kevin also said something at this time.

Shuangxing couldn't figure it out and had to follow the two of them.

Squeaky——

Outside the door, three people had already walked out.

The old man followed, and before closing the door, the old man, who had been cold-hearted towards them since entering, hesitated for the first time.

"If you don't want to die, don't go to Saltwind City. It's not a good place. If you want to go, go to where the Tribunal is. Finally, leave. Don't trust anyone in this area."

After he whispered, he closed the door mercilessly.

A banging sound isolated the three people from the door.

"He really knows something."

Shuangxing suddenly understood, but his attitude was already very clear, he didn't want to cause trouble.

It would be better to say that it would not be too much to remind them before leaving that they should be kind and righteous.

"Get out of here first."

Scanning around like a hawk.

It's not a good place to stay for a long time. Outcast can already feel the malicious looks from the adobe houses in the village.

......

"That man, the weapons on his wall were the standard weapons of the Iberian Defense Forces 60 years ago."

Outcast was talking as he walked.

"Retired soldiers 60 years ago?"

"No, Iberia no longer has the military system of the National Defense Force."

As early as during the Great Quiet, when the Iberian royal family fell apart, the National Defense Forces basically left and dispersed.

She had only seen it in records.

Unexpectedly, 60 years later, she would meet a living member of the National Defense Forces.

"Have you noticed it too?"

Kevin glanced at the outcast.

"A little bit, but not concretely."

From the moment they entered, the old defense soldier had been trying to drive them away.

This is not just out of disgust, but -

"More like, a 'reminder'?"

This is outcast's guess.

"That village... didn't you say you wanted to investigate the Deep Sea Church?"

Kevin crossed his arms and pondered for a while.

"Could it be?"

Shuangxing Ningmei, you wouldn’t be so lucky (dao) to meet (mei).

"No, but since it is the Church of the Deep Sea, they should have some connection with the Heiress you are talking about."

Kevin added.

"Those villagers have the aura of Hai Hei on them."

"A lot?"

outcast was also shocked.

"Do not……"

Kevin shook his head, but before she could relax, he added:

"...

Only half a village. "

"!!!"

Chapter 188 Salt Wind City

"Then shall we go back?"

"Don't make matters worse, our destination is Yanfeng City."

Outcast shook his head and had no intention of going back.

Save them?Or find out all the villagers who have the aura of Hai Heir on them?

That is the job of the Inquisition...Rhodes Island has no obligation to save the people of Iberia.

and, look

With the appearance of that old defense soldier, most people in the village were probably not just insiders...

She patted the protective gun on her waist and lowered the brim of her hat.

"Let's go."

Outcast led the way, but did not go directly to the road pointed by the old defense soldier. She actually knew the direction of Yanfeng City.

It would be fine if no one was following her along the way, but if there were, then don't blame her for fishing.

After all, ordinary villagers who don't even have enough to eat won't have the strength to chase them out...

The guardian gun at her waist shone brightly, but her face still showed that kind smile towards her juniors.

Who doesn’t have a little bit of foresight when going out for a walk?

------

But after walking a long muddy road, Outcast still didn't receive the ambush he expected.

She could even see the outline and edges of the city in the distance.

"The disappeared Iberian Defense Force actually showed us a real path...?"

She lowered her head slightly and seemed to be mumbling something.

But she does not regret her vigilance. With a warning mentality, she often only regrets when something is missing, and rarely brings joy when the warning is successful.

"This city... can it really be called a city?"

Passing through the last forest of dead trees that affected his vision, Frost Star stood on a high place, overlooking the landscape of the city not far below.

Desolation is no longer enough to describe that city, just like its name - "Salt Wind City".

The land was soaked with salt that dried in the cracks of the rocks, and the seawater soaked the city for a long time.

Especially near the sea, you can even see a long white salt line.

The prosperous town during the "Golden Kingdom" era now does not even have a piece of land suitable for farming left to its people.

The ruins are in ruins and no one has repaired them. The people who have been hungry for a long time have no time to care about these external things. They just want to eat and survive.

whatever it is!

"Isn't it even more shabby than the city of Londinium that was plowed by natural disasters?"

Outcast made a harmless joke, but what was more embarrassing was that what she said was indeed the truth.

"It's raining."

Frost Star stretched out his hand to catch the raindrops falling from the sky.

She seemed to suddenly catch something that made her feel that the atmosphere of this city was gloomy and dull.

Except for the dilapidated urban area, here——

"There is no sun."

It had been more than a day or two since they entered Iberia, but the closer they got to the seaside, the less and less the sun was watching them, and it was gradually covered by impenetrable clouds.

“Without the sun, there is no hope (Lateran).”

Outcast uttered a sentence with a strange tone, which attracted Shuangxing's strange eyes.

"Don't worry about it, it's just an insignificant ancient scripture."

She explained that although these scriptures are sometimes quite accurate.

"Let's go into the city from that way."

With the help of a high place, she quickly picked a penetration point with relatively sparse houses.

Rhode Island is not sure how far the Deep Sea Church has controlled Saltwind City. It is always right to try not to be so eye-catching.
