"Haha … Haha …"
The laughter of a few people rose and fell in the wilderness.
On a flat piece of land, the adventurer team had set up a tent. A pot of boiling water with various kinds of dried vegetables floated in it, giving off a fragrant aroma.
On the wooden rack beside them was their harvest — a nest of more than ten White-Eyed Rats. There was also an additional surprise.
After looting the nest of the White-Eyed Rats, Sebas found a pile of grains and starchy plant roots. These White-Eyed Rats had inherited the same habits as their predecessors. They worked hard to collect all kinds of food, but in the end, it all went to Sebas and the others.
"Little Evan, you can even fall while running. You're really talented!"
A male archer looked at Evan, who was missing a front tooth, gloatingly. "We've won this hunt. The only loss is Evan's front tooth … Haha …"
"…"
What else could Evan say?
He could only sit on the ground with tears in his eyes, hugging his knees in silence.
"Alright! After eating, we all have to keep watch. Evan, you're the first! "
Sebas was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Moreover, he had been entrusted by Evan's parents to take care of him. At that moment, he stuffed a piece of hot, black, and swarthy thing into Evan's palm. "After eating, hurry up and get to work!"
"Oh!"
Evan replied in a low voice. His words were a little leaky.
He picked up the black reed and took a big bite. The taste was really not that good. It was like chewing a mouthful of sand. However, this was the most common rations for survivors every day.
As for the others getting a piece of roasted meat, Evan did not expect it at all. In fact, he would be very satisfied if he could have a mouthful of hot soup.
"Boss, you're so biased. Why did you let Evan take the first shift?"
The male archer asked with a lisp as he chewed on a piece of rat's leg.
Naturally, it would be more difficult to stand guard at night.
Sebas glared at him and retorted bluntly, "If you let him stand guard for the whole night, do you dare to sleep in peace?"
There were a lot of dangers in the wilderness at night. Even a mutated wolf that strayed from the pack could bring disaster to this small adventurer team.
As expected, upon hearing this, the male archer was immediately speechless.
"I …"
For some reason, upon hearing this, Evan's eyes reddened, and large drops of tears rolled down his cheeks.
"So I'm so useless …"
He hated himself for being useless. He was a burden at home, and it was the same even when he was out.
"Why can't I awaken my superpower? Even if I pray day and night, I can't get the response of the God of Redemption and become a priest or a Saint Samurai …"
In this era, there were only two ways for the new humans to make a name for themselves. The first was to awaken their abilities, and the second was to obtain divine grace.
Of course, there was a third way — becoming a Reincarnator. Unfortunately, this was not information that Evan could access.
"Do you know how weak you are? It doesn't matter. We are a team. You have to work hard so that you won't be a burden! "
Sebas came to Evan's side and said earnestly.
"Got it, boss!"
Evan wiped his tears and answered loudly.
"Hmm?"
However, he suddenly realized that Sebas's expression had changed drastically as he looked into the darkness. "Who is it?"
"Someone's there?"
The highly vigilant adventurers immediately picked up their weapons, and the two archers even nocked their arrows.
"I'm just an ordinary traveler. I mean no harm!"
A very young voice came from the darkness, with a lazy and leisurely tone. "I saw a fire here, so I came to take a look!"
Along with the voice, a figure appeared in Evan's vision.
The other party was very young!
That was his first impression. The person looked to be only about 20 years old, wearing a white shirt and jeans. His eyes were wise, and his smile was gentle. It was hard to dislike him.
"You're alone? Walking in the wilderness at night? "
Sebas's expression became even more solemn.
The entire adventurer team was the same. Looking at the other party's clean and tidy clothes, and then looking at their own leather armor covered in grass and dust, everyone could not help but feel ashamed. A voice echoed in their hearts. "Superhuman!"
Only those new humans who had awakened their abilities would be able to traverse this wasteland that was filled with danger and death as if they were walking on flat ground.
"Oh, welcome, esteemed sir!"
Sebas immediately put on a smile, and under his gaze, everyone in the team put down their weapons.
"Li Na, go and get this gentleman a bowl of soup …"
"Just call me Steven!"
Wu Ming replied with a faint smile as he sat down on the empty ground, right next to Evan.
"Mr. Steven …"
The name was very common. Of course, there were many famous people with this name, and Sebas did not associate it with the missing pope. Instead, he replied politely, "My name is Sebas, and I belong to the nearby Caspar Camp. Nice to meet you! You said that you're a traveler? "
Now, he had completely regarded Wu Ming as a powerful solo Superhuman, and his tone was even more respectful.
After all, an elite of that level could destroy them like a child's play. If they angered him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Yes! Walking in this world and seeing what has happened to it is my goal. "
Wu Ming said frankly.
The upgrade of the world was manifested in all aspects. After a few years of silence, new plants were revitalized, and the ecosphere was re-established. Naturally, Wu Ming would not miss such an opportunity to research and explore the world.
Now that he had met Evan and the others, it could be considered a kind of fate.
"Caspar, I heard that is the headquarters of the Church of Redemption! Jay and Robin, are they there? "
"Jay? Robin? Are you talking about His Holiness the Pope and the Chief Saint Samurai? "
Evan's eyes widened. "How can you call them by their names?"
Although the God of Redemption had never responded to his prayers, he was a devout believer of the God of Redemption, and he had a wish in his heart — one day, he would bring his family to the Kingdom of God, which was like an ideal country! How could he tolerate this?
"Oh …"
Wu Ming responded indifferently. He didn't show any arrogance, anger, or panic.
Sebas wisely changed the topic. "Mr. Steven, please enjoy!"
He took a bowl full of hot soup and tore off a piece of roast meat, his face slightly red. "Sorry … this is all we have …"
Wu Ming could naturally see that this adventurer team was quite poor, and there was not even any seasoning on the roast meat.
When survival became the main contradiction, all enjoyment naturally had to stand aside.
"It's alright, thank you for your hospitality!"
Wu Ming reached into his backpack and took out a few pieces of bread. "In return, please enjoy!"
"This is … cream white bread?"
Sebas rubbed his eyes and said in a tone of disbelief, "Not the black and hard kind, but mixed with eggs and cream, a delicacy that only the upper class can enjoy?"
In fact, when the white bread was taken out, Evan swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
That sweet smell had already conquered his sense of smell, and when he took a bite and felt that sweet and soft texture, his tears flowed uncontrollably again.
As long as he could remember, he had never eaten anything tastier than this.
But as he wolfed down his portion, he was shocked to find that the expressions of his teammates around him were quite strange.
Sebas held the white bread as if it was some kind of treasure, while the others swallowed hard, but only ate half of it and carefully kept the rest.
"Damn it … I forgot to leave some for home …"
Evan suddenly fell into a strong sense of self-blame and guilt.
As if the God of Redemption had heard his prayer, Steven smiled and handed over another piece — at that moment, Evan felt as if the God of Redemption was waving at him.
After taking out the food, the entire team's attention to Wu Ming increased by a level.
It could not be helped, the current society was abnormally strict, and to be able to get such food and squander it so casually, one must be a very powerful Esper.
"Mr. Steven, you said that you are a traveler. Where have you been? Can you tell me?"
Evan asked expectantly as he carefully kept the white bread.
Not only him, but even Sebas could not help but perk up his ears.
"Hmm, almost the entire world. Overseas, the Spice Islands, the Redbud Flowers, Pandorn … I've been to all of them, and recently returned to Golden Oak because I have something to do!"
Although the Church of Redemption here had developed, and Jay had also become the new pope as he wished, a huge hidden danger had long been buried.
His practice of distorting the doctrine and establishing original sin had long been dissatisfied with some people, and now it was fermenting to the point of eruption.
Wu Ming had just finished seeing the changes in the entire world and happened to come to the Golden Oak Kingdom, so he naturally would not miss this big show.
He was also very interested in where this secular church would go after losing his own constraints.
"So many places?"
Evan exclaimed, and even Sebas secretly shook his head, thinking that Wu Ming was joking.
After all, with the current danger of the world, to be able to visit the entire history of the Golden Oak Kingdom was already a very powerful Esper.
Even the pope and Chief Saint Samurai might not be able to travel the entire world, right?
"Then in Pandorn, what's in the Redbud Flowers?"
"In Pandorn, an organization called the Hermit Society controls everything and implements slavery, and the Redbud Flowers is in chaos …"
As the conversation went on, Sebas suddenly realized that what the other party had said might be true.
Evan's eyes lit up, feeling that the door to a new world was slowly opening to him.
