Chapter 1420 – [Crazy Heroine Trouble Calling the Storm!!!]
Acting on the fast-approaching marauders, Keter didn’t show much action. He simply made a small seed grow from his horn and tore it off and threw it at them.
Of course, since it is a transcendent species, the small seed fell right in front of them with physical abilities that transcended ordinary people. Soon, the moment the looters pass over the seed drop, something puffs on the ground!!!! And spewed out.
No, it wasn’t water or anything like that. It was said to be ejected, but in reality it was not a liquid, but an object, and even a living being.
In short, a beautiful tree suddenly rose from the middle of the road. Moreover, the speed is so fast that the average person cannot perceive it.
Ah, what would a human being who realized that his body was threaded into a tree branch the moment he said that would think?
Moreover, if the pain is excruciating, even more so.
“Kkeuuuuu!!!!!”
“What!!!!! Save me!!!! Help me!!!!!”
“Gurugeuk, Geuiiik!!!!”
They let out a variety of screams. In some cases, branches penetrated the intestines, some in the chest, and some even in the head.
However, no one died despite the fact that either wound was fatal. Rather, dozens of looters were all alive.
But it’s not all about being alive. They suffer only from immobility. It was as if he had become a literal vegetative person by becoming one with the tree.
“Isn’t it something like an Angelo rock, but a predatory tree?”
“Is it Crazy Diamond? Keter’s ability seems more like Gold Experience than that.”
The sight of dozens of looters screaming as they were tied to a single tree was very eye-opening. It may be a bit cruel, but considering what these bastards have done so far, it’s rather understandable.
[The tree is roughly 200 years old, right? It has some resistance to fire and won’t die even if struck by lightning. In short, it won’t die unless you try to artificially destroy it. And as long as the tree is alive, you will live and suffer without dying.]
“Sa-save…Save me!!!!”
“You bastard bastard!!!! Release this right now!!!!!”
“Aaaaa!!!!!”
[You must pay for the sins you have committed so far. Suffer there for a long time]
They have already become one with the tree. The twigs that penetrated their bodies rather pained but harmlessly burrowed into them and became part of them.
Now they have become a body that cannot live apart from the tree. Isn’t it impossible for a tree whose roots are cut off to live? However, even after several years, not decades, they would rather shout out to be killed like that.
“You’re talking about these looters over there, right?”
[It’s been dealt with, so there shouldn’t be any problems. Oh, are there other guys?]
“There are no survivors around here anymore.”
“Thank God. Then we can go and have a meat party now!!!”
Now that we’ve searched for all the troublemakers, there’s nothing to worry about. As a result, we visited the group of survivors again.
Yesterday’s potatoes and onions must have been quite large. It was meal time, so they smelled delicious. The smell of roasting onions, and the unique savory smell of potatoes. They probably had only salt, and thanks to that, they made something to eat, and they seem to have had a good meal.
Perhaps thanks to that, as soon as we arrived, the guards opened the passage and welcomed us without receiving a separate order.
“Welcome!!!! I’ve been waiting for you!!!!!”
“Hey, by the way, the baggage behind is…”
“It’s medicine and meat. We treat the sick and we’re human, so we have to eat meat too.”
“Waaaaa!!!!!”
“Thank you!!!! Thank you very much!!!!!”
So far, the response is good.
Hagisa In the army, you can’t even use PX, but if you eat only dung soup and stir-fry meat, it’s likely that a late-aged sergeant will come out. Moreover, it is not simply for that reason, but in the midst of a matter of survival and reality.
I didn’t bring any spices, but in the current situation, salt would be enough. Moreover, since Keter made the meat taste good, it must be very tasty even with salt.
Anyway, we were politely guided and soon got the herbs off the cart first. And it also gives some explanation.
“It is a herb that neutralizes viruses. It is effective even if you feed it as it is, but it is best to eat it after grinding or boiling it once to extract the ingredients.”
“Are you sure?”
“Even if you feed a person who is about to die, you will see the effect. Again, we came here with good intentions.”
It had only been a day, but among the signs I felt yesterday, the sign of a newborn baby had gotten smaller.
That’s not to say the condition isn’t good. I wouldn’t openly tell the baby to feed it, but at least I did. The choice is theirs.
After waiting for a while, I heard cheers, cries of joy, and laughter. As you can see, the effect appeared immediately.
“The sick people have recovered noticeably. What’s more, that child from Areville…”
“Areville?”
“I am the nephew of the leader who was born last month. Perhaps because the leader’s lineage is weak, Areville, a newborn baby, is weaker, so I didn’t know when he would die……. Thanks to the herbs you gave me, I was able to recover. !!!”
“You don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve seen that kid smile!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!”
Oh, was that baby the nephew of the leader here?
On the other hand, Tyrbel, the leader, also looked sickly to the point that his resistance was weak on the outside. She must have been even more so if she was a newborn baby. At least if she hadn’t been tolerant she would have died as soon as she was born………
She suffered and carried on with her life, but she survived in the end. She said later that she would live until the child comes to our city and she lives out her life.
And we met the leader Tyrbel again. He greeted us with a much brighter face, but his sickness was still the same, as if he hadn’t eaten the herb yet.
“Thank you!!!! Thank you so much!!!! My nephew was able to save his life thanks to all of you!!!!!!”
“These are the herbs I brought for that purpose. If you saved a person’s life, that would be enough.”
“Afterwards, I plan to take that herb too. It’s the medicine that saved my nephew’s life, but is it poisonous?”
The trust that saved his life, and that of his family, is heavy.
Especially in a world like this. In the post-apocalypse, human life is light, and so is the life of a family member. Even for the leader of the survivors, it was a different thing to have a family member die.
You saved it, so of course I thank you. Rather, it is proof that you are an ungrateful bastard if you do not.
“Anyway, it’s fortunate. There’s a group of marauders around here, and you came unnoticed by them…”
“Ah, if that’s the case, I’ll take care of it today.”
“Yes?”
“If you look at the road coming our way, you’ll know. Because as a human plant, the tree will continue to suffer until it dies.”
“……?”
He didn’t understand what I was saying. But even as he slipped away, he tried to use his strength to figure out the situation.
Yesterday, when there was a chance, we couldn’t send people because of the looters, but now we sent people because it’s important to confirm the truth, whether or not we killed them. Roughly, I felt the signs of other people going outside the community separately.
First of all, give them time to check the truth… In the meantime, I decided to grill meat.
Of course, after all, there were other dishes besides grilled meat. In particular, there were onions and potatoes, so even a very simple stew could be boiled. There is no pepper, and only salt is seasoned, but in the current situation, it is a delicacy.
Considering that technology has developed, the infrastructure must have been developed to some extent, and it would have been possible to supplement food to some extent for about 1 or 2 years. But even that has its limits.
How long do you think the preserved food will last? Months at best, years at most. Anything stored longer than that is likely to die of food poisoning.
That’s why they didn’t have much except for real long-term storage food. At most, a few crops grown indoors. I couldn’t even touch the meat there.
As much as we were surprised that they mistook the horse we rode for an introverted one, the animals are also dying. There may be some animals that are resistant, but they must have been insufficient to sustain the species…. In the end, there is a limit.
If it wasn’t at that level in the first place, Keter wouldn’t have come. If it had been a natural environment to recover after 10,000 years, it would have been left alone, but it was an environment where it was difficult for plants to grow properly because of the virus, so it was dispatched.
Anyway, they had been able to eat meat for the first time in a while, and they showed various reactions.
“It’s meat… It’s meat…”
“How long have you been eating?”
“They say there’s a lot of stuff like this where they came from. Is it true? Aren’t the marauders lying?”
“If you brought meat, medicine, and food to that extent, there wouldn’t be a need to fool us like that in the first place.”
Like a primitive tribe, if you think of civilization, it’s no different from going back to that time, but anyway, I lit a fire and grilled the meat, and put the meat, potatoes, and onions in a separate large pot next to it and started boiling it.
It’s a dish that doesn’t involve much technology, but it starts to smell delicious nonetheless. The smell of burning oil as the meat is being grilled, and the smell of onion juice, the savory taste of potatoes, and the fat of the meat melting as the stew boils.
The starch in the stew is replaced with potatoes, resulting in a rather thick stew. Of course, the taste is obvious since there is so little in it, but even so, people were served the stew on their plates with tears in their eyes.
“Delicious, delicious…!!!!!”
“Hehhehe!!!!!”
I should have been able to eat it, but the remaining preserved food so far is preserved food in the end. You can eat it, but you can’t call it cooking.
There’s no way a piece of beef jerky is the same as a spoonful of well-boiled soup. There may be differences in calories, but satisfaction is different. Moreover, it was obvious which of the two was better, given the feeling of satiety.
We, too, were treated well. Even though Eden could in fact eat whatever she was eating now if she put her mind to it, she refused in moderation and ate only a little. Even so, it was about 1 serving, but considering the amount Eden ate, it was extremely small.
“Eden, is it okay to eat like that?”
“It’s okay because other people eat that much!”
“So”
Eden saw people laughing and enjoying their meals as they ate stew as if they were eating small amounts of food compared to what they usually eat.
Eden’s mouth had a bigger smile than them. Looking at it, I thought I knew roughly what Eden was feeling.
Even if my limbs fall off, if Zion and Eden laugh, that’s enough. Perhaps Eden is in a similar position to me. It’s not as easy as I understand.
I just hope that you don’t take it too seriously and deeply. That is my wish as a parent.
We partyed until late into the night. Perhaps because it was a party after a long time, many people fell asleep after eating, and all that was left was the people standing guard and us.
Moreover, at that point, Tyrbel’s face was quite complicated, as if he had heard the news of the reconnaissance party he had sent out. Oh, of course, I got better because I ate herbs in the meantime.
“I’ve heard the story of the scout team. It’s honestly hard to believe.”
“I’ve sent a few people I trust, but don’t you think that’s a lie?”
“Yes, even a castle wall made up of huge tree trunks that no number of people could overcome, and trees that looters were threaded through… It’s full of nonsensical things. Who the hell are you?”
I thought you would question it. Because it’s weird in the first place.
There is no ability here. At least, if you had this ability, you would be able to explain that it was just that, no matter how strange it was, but it is impossible because it is a pure scientific civilization.
So, if you are going to explain, it is better to explain everything from the beginning and ask for cooperation. To put it halfway, it’s much better than trying to use it or betraying it.
“We are aliens”
“Aliens?! Wait, you mean they’re not native to Earth?”
Ah, the earth is also called the earth here. Well, I can’t help it In the end, if you look at the meaning of the earth, it means that it is a sphere made of soil, so if it has such a common meaning, it will be used everywhere.
In any case, the meaning was roughly conveyed. Calling the earth the earth means recognizing that the earth is round, and that means that you have gone outside the universe to some extent to confirm it. Then, of course, the universe and other alien beings living in the universe will also be aware of it.
“Yes. We are beings from outer space. We are not from here.”
“……I’ve heard the story, but can you prove it separately?”
“Hmm, then what about this?”
It wouldn’t be bad to use telekinesis or something like that, but on the other hand, you might think it’s a trick. In the first place, even if there is no magic here, there will be magic, but can’t you think of it as a trick?
So I chose something that I could show right in front of my eyes without any tricks. For example, gender reassignment.
Wooddeuk, puudeudeuk!!!
“Huh? Uhhhhh?!?!”
“Are you done with this?”
“Oh no, what is this?!”
I instantly switched genders in front of him. It’s a little frustrating because the T-shirt is tight because of the chest, but anyway, the person in front of you suddenly changing from a man to a woman is a trick and you won’t be able to tackle it.
This Bicchijji is not farmed, it is wild!!!!!! No matter how much I don’t care about gender, no one can say anything about that!!!!!
Once he proved that, he returned to being a man again. It changed quickly as the bones and flesh changed.
“If this is a rough guess, would you believe it’s an alien?”
“What…A hermaphroditic alien or something?”
“Uh, I’m unique among them, but it’s similar.”
Hermaphrodites might be right. Since it is loaded, it is not affected by birth.
Anyway, I had to get serious about this story. The various proofs we showed and the items we brought for friendship. They all became evidence and gave me persuasion.
And with the need for them to migrate. Seeing the marauders here, you know it’s not that safe here. Anyway, I had to figure that out.
“Hmm……”
“It’s your choice, no matter how you judge it. But if you move here, I promise to make it easier for you.”
“Can I think about it for a day?”
“Yes, at least for today, I will stay here and wait. Discuss with others and think about it.”
We decided to stay here for one day. There was no big problem in staying because there was something done over there, rather, they brought blankets and other things for our convenience.
You can tell the level of this place by looking at how much you can afford. It’s a good place, at least for first-time immigrants.
That’s how I stayed here for a day, and I was able to give Tyrbel’s opinion, who made a decision the next morning.
“We will move there.”
“Ah, I’m glad then”
“But there is nothing we can give you. It may not be before the destruction, but in the current situation……”
“There is no problem. What we want is the restoration of the natural environment and the continuation of human civilization.”
Thanks to the introspective people, they endure, but there is no possibility that they will continue to survive. It is impossible to guarantee that a newly born child like this time will be born with resistance, and all other animals and plants that will form the ecosystem are dead.
If left alone, it will eventually die. That’s why Keter was dispatched, and we help them as well. Because it’s such a good opponent.
After gaining some trust, we moved to the city with them. The luggage is put on a cart that we brought and dragged. Even so, there was quite a lot of luggage, but there was a means to move it, such as a vehicle or moving it by manpower.
“I guess there was a car?”
“Yes, but that’s how little gas to run the car.”
Perhaps the civilization here is a civilization that is not very different from Earth, only with a different name. There are cars, and the technology and level are similar.
However, the difference is that it was destroyed not by nuclear weapons, but by chemical and biological weapons. For some reason, this seems to be a world where their technology is more advanced.
Soon they were able to encounter the city of Eden. A huge walled city greets them in the distance.
“Hey, look over there!!! It’s a real city!!!!”
“No, how could something like that exist…!!!!”
“Could they be gods?! What the hell……”
Kether snapped his finger and the gates opened automatically. Someone has tried to find other facilities attached to the gate, but it is pointless. In the first place, machines were nowhere to be found in this city.
You can only see soil and water, and trees and plants. There are only natural objects here. And it looks mysterious and good to them as much as it is.
“Ho, breathing is easy. Could it be that there’s no virus here?!”
“There is a place like this…… Thank you so much!!!!”
Maybe it’s because I came to a place that’s like a paradise, but the response is pretty good. Anyway, they took care of things like a place to stay, food, etc., And decided to listen to various stories from Tirbel separately after tidying up.
In fact, I have collected some information about this world, but I haven’t looked at it separately. It’s best to hear from the locals. Even if it’s such a biased explanation that takes either side, it’s fun to see it separately.
Now that I’ve decided to speak completely nonchalantly, I asked him about the situation here. Now we are aliens, in fact, people from another world, but he didn’t feel reluctance to explain that he didn’t know the situation on this side anyway.
“Yes, I want to know why this place was ruined.”
“……Yes, I understand. Then, I will explain slowly in the evening.”
And he slowly started talking about the situation in this world.
The story of the idiots and idiots of this world that existed a few years ago.
