Chapter 477 – [A Guide for Transcendentalists Traveling Post-Apocalypse]
Jin-gyo decided to save him for now. No, it’s on hold for the time being. I thought it wouldn’t be bad if I killed it then when it was no longer useful.
There is water consumed by being alive, but it can still be recovered. It turns out that in the toilet of the drum, only the water is removed from the urine through a separate purification function.
Except for sweating, it is obvious that water consumption is minimal. It doesn’t mean much if you go outside the ship anyway.
However, Jin-gyo’s seat was designated as a warehouse. Although it is a bit cramped, there is a lot of space, so it is not uncomfortable to sleep.
It may be inconvenient to live with, but…
“Um…Is he a wandering aristocrat by any chance?”
It was the first question she asked after two days of taking Jin-gyo with her.
Naturally, her eyes were on Shion. Because he was the only white-skinned member of the group.
Me? If I was born on Earth this time around, I would have been the average person of the yellow race, but all of a sudden, I became a body in the first episode, so my skin feels slightly burnt. It wasn’t as much as Ruri, but she was a color that would fit into individual differences enough to be considered a person here.
“Well, let’s just do something like that.”
When Shion said that, Jin Gyo’s attitude became extreme.
When we order something to be done, it seems that she does it reluctantly, but when Shion says, she does it with all her heart.
It wasn’t just a noble’s hunting dog, but something a little different.
“Please give me any command, Lord Shion.”
“Well, personally, having an attendant like this isn’t bad.”
The machine did everything, but it’s nice to have an intelligent body following you. It means that no matter what you do, you affirm it.
Jin-gyo is called a hunting dog, but in the end, a dog is a dog. When it comes to the type of dog, there is a big difference between a dog that was an abandoned dog and a dog that was a wild dog from the start.
Perhaps in the case of Jinkyo, it is the former. It is said that he is the kind of person who is supposed to follow the nobility.
“There are so many things to worry about, so it’s hard to focus on just one thing… Well, it’s kind of fun though.”
“Maybe after a few days, you’ll hear that kind of noise?”
“I don’t know about anything else, but things like animals, not humans, are fine. I like the feeling that the ecology is alive, like the translucent lizard that is faintly visible over there.”
“……What color is that lizard?”
“Blue? It’s quite strange that it’s a bit translucent. Why?”
“Fuck!!!!!! Drum ho!!!!! Full speed forward!!!!”
“Is it a water lizard?! It’s a water lizard?! It’s right?!”
Meme? What the hell?
In the direction I pointed, Ruri began to run wildly forward. Not only that, but a common tenacity like obsession was felt in the eyes of Ruri and Jinkyo.
“Fuck it! I never thought I’d see a water lizard my whole life!!!! It didn’t even catch on the radar, so it was to the point of catching only what I could see!!!!!!”
“If you catch one, half a year’s worth of water is hardened!!!! I’ll definitely catch it!!!!”
“You’re talking a little bit!!!!!!”
Soon, a translucent lizard that was faint even in my field of vision comes into their field of vision. There, a blue jellyfish-like lizard was galloping through the desert at a fairly high speed.
Seeing that guy, Ruri was shocked and freaked out.
“It’s a water lizard!!!!!”
“GAZaaaaa!!!!”
“What are these bastards really like?”
In one breath, Ruri left the captain’s office and took a crossbow and shot at the lizard.
I feel like I’m quite a sharpshooter when my head explodes in an instant. Hagisa, if I hadn’t had that talent, it wouldn’t have been easy to survive.
“Aaaaa! Water lizard! Aaaaa!!! I never dreamed that I would have such luck in my life! You bastard like a goblin!!!!!”
“I-I’m seeing this for the second time. I’ve been working for quite some time…”
“Keueueugh, today I’m going to play with everything I have!!!!”
It was at this moment that an explanation was needed.
What they know, we don’t know. When I demanded an explanation from Ruri, Ruri handed us some of the pieces of the crushed water lizard’s flesh.
“Experience is better than explanation. Try this for now”
“Tasty?”
“The taste is a little bit, but anyway”
I put the flesh of a water lizard in my mouth and chewed it.
The first thing you notice is the bitter taste. I feel something like blood. It’s a bit reluctant, but once you get used to it, it’s worth eating.
But the feeling behind it was like chewing gum. The more you chew, the more the fishy feeling continues. Even though the pieces of flesh I ate were no more than a couple of fingers at most.
After chewing on the water lizard’s flesh for a long time, I was finally able to swallow its flesh. Moisture, which violates the law of conservation of mass, is quite a strange feeling.
“This… What kind of animal is it?”
“A water lizard is a creature that lives deep underground. It’s full of water and it holds more water than its own mass!!!! You can see it by eating it, right?”
“Well……”
“The law of conservation of mass is a cheap quantity”
These are the words of Shion, who was chewing the flesh of a water lizard.
The physical laws that ordinary people talk about are nothing more than regulations for the laws of reality in a state where no supernatural ability can interfere.
In a world with technology to discover and extract spirits and use them as currency, the laws of physics have long since flown far away.
Water lizards are similar in structure to jellyfish. Most of their bodies are made up of water, and they don’t even have bones. The form of a lizard is nothing more than an ectoplasm made of bones.
For reference, the limit of English characters has not yet been revealed. Like my soul, which records all the memories of thousands of years of reincarnation in the soul, if it is a living being made of spirit matter, it is bound to be able to store some of the material beyond its limits.
“One water lizard must have stored more water than the drum’s water tank!!!! Fuck, if I sell this, I’ll honestly sell it!!!!!”
“There are many stories of people who caught and sold water lizards!!! But I’m only seeing it for the second time!!!!”
“It’s such a rare guy, but to see this…… This is the part where I should be grateful to Mr.
“I don’t know what it is, but I’ll admit it!!!”
Ruri and Jinkyo started to run wild because they were in sync with each other. Hmm… On the other hand, it’s not that I can’t understand it.
It would be quite useful if at most one small piece of flesh had more than enough to replenish a day’s worth of water. It’s not just a matter of quantity, it’s a matter of volume.
Wouldn’t it be better to carry a small piece of flesh than to carry a large barrel?
“It’s a little uncomfortable to chew this, but it’s good for hydration.”
“You can’t take that later…”
“You should use it when you’re a man!”
“But if you use it, you can’t use it!!!!”
The only difference between me and Zion is the law of conservation of mass.
Shion can only use the water she ingested. Then it is the same in bed.
When I was a woman, I managed to control my discharge, but in the end it was less than when I was a man. But if you find something like this here… Um, I think it’ll be fine?
“Ah, honey honey. Selling in the city would be no joke.”
“Probably this whole thing is close to 10,000 young.”
“Isn’t that the smallest unit?”
“My salary is only a few hundred yen…”
All the stories of the wage earners are the same. Hmmm…For now, it would be better to talk about this later.
The water lizard was sorted out and the situation was soon resolved. Except for Ruri’s expression becoming brighter, the situation is the same…
“I’m happy that I’ve earned so much money since you came.”
“If you keep doing that, can you pay off the debt?”
“Well, even if I liquidate anyway, there’s a limit to what I can do! Double!!!!”
Ruri’s attitude was the same.
In fact, it was just that I was being used, but it couldn’t have been that cheap to pamper a transcendental person. If you want to pay off that debt, there’s no way you can’t pay it off.
However, aside from the fact that Ruri has the ability to pay debts, that is.
“But can we do this? The destination is fixed, but we can’t go without supplies, right?”
“Who said what? I’ve already changed my course. The destination I’m going to isn’t the city under the control of Jinrang, but somewhere else.”
“Whoa, that’s a pretty good idea.”
“Ghhhhh!!!!”
If you think about it, it makes sense. For the nobles of the north and the nobles of the south to get along, there is a large desert between them, so it takes about two weeks (with their own means of transportation established).
In the first place, it is the fault of the person who informed the situation of reality in an exchange that was not wide. We’re not even close, but it’s our fault for notifying you, is it our fault?
“I’m going to the city of Ki-young, who has a bad relationship with Jin-rang and Yo-ju. They say that the enemy of an enemy is a friend, so I guess I can hold out for a while.”
“Isn’t that just the right rule?”
“On the surface, it’s just a matter of buying time.”
Ruri’s goal is to reach the cradle with Yeouiju. If that’s the case, I’m sure Ruri will be able to find her paradise.
You can’t be sure what’s there, but you can roughly guess that there’s as much as the word cradle. Seeds, skills, or something like that.
“If you go all the way to the cradle without interruption, it’s roughly a month or two journey. You have to be careful about interfering, but that’s about it.”
“It’s pretty short, isn’t it?”
“But wishing that trouble doesn’t happen is just wishful thinking…”
Exchanges with each other in this world are not fast. At least the technology itself is faster than Earth, but unlike Earth, which grasps each other’s situation in a few minutes, this place cannot even grasp the situation for several days.
There is a difference in technology, but on the other hand, it is also a difference in the current situation.
“We have arrived at the city. Lord Zion.”
“I don’t have to tell you, but”
“No. It is the hunting dog’s duty to grasp the situation and inform them.”
The city is visible in the distance.
It was a much more developed and powerful place than the previous one, when the village was formed by taking control of a water source.
The stone wall built on the outer wall was not just insignificant, but it was a large wall that could be two or three times the size of a person. The fact that there is a manpower capable of collecting stones of that size is proof that there is power in itself.
Also, it can be seen that a fence like that was made for protection from the outside rather than for simple management. There has to be some degree of internal stability.
“When we arrive, let’s sell some stuff to get some money and move right away. We’re still far from the cradle.”
“What about drums?”
“You can’t drag a boat into the city. But there is a public parking lot under the guarantee of the mayor. Of course you need money.”
“Hoo?”
Hagisa Outside visitors are essential unless you are completely self-sufficient. Whether it was a merchant or a wild dog like Ruri, the market economy was activated because there was a supply.
But what if you rob an outsider’s property?
You may be able to make money right away, but soon rumors will spread and no one will look for it. It can be said that it is like cutting open the belly of the duck that lays the golden eggs.
“Is it a wild dog? It carries some pretty good artifacts.”
“Well, I was lucky enough to get one. How much is the parking fee?”
“It’s 5 souls a day”
“I’ll stay for a day or so”
“If you park your car for more than one day without paying, it will be impounded, so be careful.”
Ruri paid for parking in advance. In this way, the city seems to be making money.
However, a hover bike parked separately next to an empty lot used as a parking lot… Did I mention it was a windmill? Anyway, there is such a thing, what is it?
“It was built by people who didn’t have money or wanted to save money.
“I just have to pay”
If you can pay some money and get protection from the city, that’s a good thing.
In a post-apocalypse where things can’t be stolen even if they are left behind, and in a post-apocalypse where you don’t know where you might get stabbed, the thief’s fault is bigger than the thief’s.
No, honestly, having to pay for security in a place like this is inexhaustibly post-apocalyptic.
When you enter through the stone wall, a city that feels quite different culture comes into view. At least it feels much more comfortable and spacious than the villages I’ve seen before.
In the middle of the Joseon Dynasty, the only conspicuous near-future building was in the middle of the city. I guess that’s……
Let’s put it in for a moment. Obviously, that must be an aristocratic facility. Roughly speaking, in a national game way, it would be roughly the headquarters. Actually, I don’t play real-time strategy games because I don’t like listening to paddrip.
“Let’s eat first. Ma! Did you see the post-apocalypse rice soup! It’s good!”
“Ah, rice soup is King Jeong”
We went deep into the city to eat first.
Honestly, the soup is great! In any era, soup is salty!!!!!
