The ragged fugitives walked silently along the shore.
The dark and cramped passage seemed to never end.
The gloomy and humid air seemed to be dripping with water.
The surrounding environment gradually erodes everyone's energy and desire to talk.
Hazlitt Cecil walked at the front of the team, his eyes a little dim. He did not dare to look back at the survivors who were following him, for fear that his pessimism would be discovered and become the straw that broke the camel's back.
Let everyone have a complete mental breakdown.
The last scene before the escape was still flashing before our eyes - a thin mist shrouded a blue moon that exuded an evil aura, making it appear hazy and alienated, as if separated by a layer of gauze, making it difficult to see clearly.
It's as if everything in the past was as false as a dark fairy tale.
But the wounds and pain on his body are warning Hazlitt...
Don’t take any chances!
"Why……"
The sigh came to his lips, and Hazlitt chewed it into the tiniest pieces, which were like swallowing shards of glass. After rolling in his throat for a while, they fell into his stomach.
Still the same sentence.
He must remain enthusiastic and sunny, giving people the appearance of being confident, confident, and having hope right in front of him.
Three months...
In just three months, the explosive growth in the number of Annihilation Beasts completely destroyed the Free Empire, catching everyone off guard.
The dry tide that erupted from the hinterland of the old Silver Mountain spread, and the free empire collapsed. The once arrogant and free empire remnants have now returned to the barbaric and chaotic era.
The so-called dry tide refers to the explosion of the Annihilation Beast.
Wherever the Annihilation Beasts pass, it will become a mess, all life will be reduced to ashes, and everything will be reduced to nothing, as if it was swallowed by a black hole.
As the leader of the survivor team and a glorious knight, Hazlitt feels that he has the responsibility and obligation to take everyone to the legendary place of hope-Dragon Kingdom!
As soon as he thought of this, his originally somewhat rickety body suddenly straightened up, and his dim blue eyes became a little brighter.
Hazlitt led the survivors to escape from the ruins, fighting through obstacles and obstacles, trying to find a new paradise, and he would never give up easily here!
Dragon Kingdom!
Before the unprecedented super drought broke out, it was equal to the national power of the Free Empire and had no special performance when fighting against the Annihilation Beast.
But after the real disaster struck, this country showed a power that shocked everyone!
Perseverance and a fighting spirit that never admits defeat!
From the rumors he heard occasionally, Hazlitt had already sketched out the blueprint of the Dragon Kingdom in his mind.
Paradise, Utopia, a place of happiness and security...
He put labels one after another on them.
"Speaking of which, it seems that the disaster-resistant individuals of the Dragon Kingdom are not knights, but warriors!"
Hazlitt's stomach growled, and he was extremely hungry.
But it's not time to eat yet.
Resources such as food and water are very limited and must be rationed and used according to plan. Otherwise, everyone may die miserably before reaching the destination.
"Speaking of which, I am a Knight of Glory, which is roughly equivalent to a titled warrior of the Dragon Kingdom, right?"
Hazlitt wanted to use thinking to distract himself so that hunger would not be so unbearable, but his disobedient thoughts would always be deflected in the direction of food.
"Unfortunately, during this period, I took in too little food and my physical fitness deteriorated significantly. Although I was able to obtain crystals and replenish my fighting spirit by hunting down lone annihilation beasts, my strength, speed, and endurance are obviously not as good as before."
"Even if you can reach the Dragon Kingdom, you will probably only be regarded as an ordinary knight... warrior, right?"
"It would be nice if there was enough food..."
Cultivation requires replenishing energy, and at least this world follows the law of conservation of matter and energy.
If you want to achieve success, it is impossible to reduce your energy intake.
Eating is the most intuitive way to replenish energy, but breathing, absorbing it from the air, and meditating to absorb cosmic rays through brain waves have little effect and cannot replace eating.
Just as Hazlitt was deep in thought, a bright light suddenly came from the distance.
"Warning! Warning! You are crossing the border and illegally entering the Dragon Kingdom! Put down your weapons immediately!"
A strange mechanical synthesized sound sounded at the end of the passage.
Hazlitt looked far into the distance and saw dozens of steel structures about one meter tall.
"These are the legendary robots, right? Although they can't harm the Annihilation Beast, they can be used to maintain social security and help with infrastructure construction..."
Hazlitt was ecstatic.
Utopia, he finally arrived!
"Don't shoot! We are refugees from the Free Empire! We are also human beings and are willing to work in exchange for food and other revenge!"
As soon as he said these words, many robots put down their strange weapons.
Hazlitt glanced at the refugees around him.
Apart from sadness and hope, everyone had no other complex emotions.
This is good.
Hazlitt breathed a sigh of relief.
There are no careerists who are greedy for power and idiots who like to cause trouble and don't know what is good or bad in the team, which is a good thing for him.
"Confirming the target's identity..."
"Identity confirmed."
"Name: Hazlitt Cecil."
"Class: Knight of Honor."
"Personal traits: Leadership, human pride, humility, gratitude."
"The central mastermind recommends that he be given the highest level of treatment."
A group of short robots looked clumsy but actually came to Hazlitt very quickly and handed him water and food.
"Please replenish your energy and clean up your personal hygiene first."
"The central mastermind has prepared a schedule for you to have basic necessities, food, shelter, transportation and combat strength recovery."
Hearing this, Hazlitt Cecil glanced at the other survivors and found that everyone was devouring relief food. He said excitedly: "Is this the central mastermind Dr. Yan?"
That legendary man who has the ability to withstand the dry tide...
No matter what, Hazlitt Cecil wanted to see him.
The small blue circle representing the eye of the short robot that served him shrunk into a straight line, repeated twice, and then said: "The central mastermind is the creation of Dr. Yan Anqing's team and is responsible for coordinating all matters in the Dragon Kingdom."
…
Yan Anqing left the main control room and rubbed his slightly dry eyes.
As soon as he took his hand away, the round little dumpling ran out from the edge of his field of vision.
However, it accidentally stumbled and fell into the air.
The black and white dumpling opened his round eyes and looked at Yan Anqing.
As if waiting for something.
Yan Anqing looked at it silently, as if looking at a little mentally retarded person.
A few seconds later.
"Get up yourself."
The little bear meowed, turned his head, faced the sky, and blew out a text bubble angrily——
"Congratulations to the player for obtaining the achievement - [Enemy of the Dry Tide]!"
"The current main task completion progress is: 198/200."
