Chapter 1039! The Traveler
Chapter 1039! The Traveler
……
Next, several days passed, and in the blink of an eye, Shen Ye had come to this world, or rather, to the lighthouse, for a week.
This period of time is neither short nor long, but in the original plot, the story of the first season took place within those few days.
However, perhaps it was his arrival that caused most of the plot to change, so basically nothing happened in the past week.
The reason why I say mostly and basically is because tomorrow, a ceremony will be held at the lighthouse.
Journey ceremony.
The so-called journey ceremony sounds very honorable, but it is actually an activity to exile the elderly people in the lighthouse. After all, according to the rules set by the lighthouse, everyone must work to obtain contribution points to prove their worth.
So in the eyes of those who made this rule in the lighthouse, once people get old, they have lost the ability to create value, and they think that those elderly people who stay in the lighthouse can only eat and do nothing.
But in fact, this is a very short-sighted behavior.
Shen Ye wanted to complain about this part of the plot as early as when he was watching this anime. Although there were many other bugs in the plot, this part was the one he could not accept the most.
Especially the story of exiling the scavenger instructor Elon.
If it was an old man who was sick and could not be saved, it could be explained, but it was a bit hard to understand that an old hunter instructor who was still able to fight and had rich experience said no.
You should know that an old person in the family is like a treasure. It does not mean that old people have the same personality as children. It is all about their valuable experience. In the real world, there are still companies and organizations that re-employ those old scholars and professors.
So in Shen Ye's opinion, the rules of the lighthouse are completely chaotic.
Of course, this is just his personal opinion. After all, the purpose of the journey is not just to exile the old man who can no longer contribute to the lighthouse. There may be other purposes, just like Mark who was parasitized by the spinal parasite in the original plot, or some other reasons.
However, despite all his complaints, Shen Ye would not stop this ceremony. After all, according to the plot, the exiled people would be taken in by Longgu Village, or by Bai Yuekui. Given the conditions in Longgu Village, these exiled elderly people would live much more comfortably than staying in the lighthouse.
But he thought so because he knew the plot, while others, especially the wasteland hunters were very worried about this. When they learned that their instructor Elon was also on the long-distance travel list, several women led by Hong Kou surprisingly did not come to see him that day. They either went to visit Instructor Elon with other wasteland hunters, or went to discuss with the city lord like Hong Kou and Mark.
Although Shen Ye was not very familiar with Elon and only met him a few times a day in the armory maintenance room, he still brought gifts to see him.
When Shen Ye arrived at Elon's residence, he had just sent away several hunters who came to see him. When the old hunter, whose hair and beard were white but body was still strong, saw him coming, he showed an expression of surprise.
"I didn't expect that even you would come to see an old man like me."
Elon then pulled out a chair from under his desk and continued to say to Shen Ye: "Come on, kid, sit down. I also have something I want to know from you."
"Do you want to know the situation on the ground?" Shen Ye nodded politely and asked while sitting on the chair.
"Yes! Although there are many reasons for traveling, and everyone is doomed to die, I still think I can live a few more years." Elon said with a smile: "I think Mr. Shen Ye, you will not be stingy with your advice, right?"
"Of course not, but the way I survive on the ground should not be suitable for you." Shen Ye shook his head slightly. Although he didn't stay on the ground for a long time, only a few hours in total, but if he really wanted to live on the ground, it would definitely be much more comfortable than living on the lighthouse. At least he could occasionally get some new and interesting things to satisfy his appetite. For example, he could try to taste the taste of the Extreme Beast.
But when Elon heard Shen Ye say this, the smile on his face did not disappear, as if Shen Ye's answer was within his expectations.
"It seems you are even more powerful and mysterious than I thought."
"terribly sorry……"
"No, thanks." Elon shook his head, but just as he was about to speak, he was suddenly stunned because he saw Shen Ye handing him a bag.
"You'll need it when you get to the ground... Well, I hope you won't be searched when you travel far." Shen Ye winked at him.
"I still have this little bit of privilege. At worst, I can hide it in my underwear."
As he said this, Elon took the thing that Shen Ye handed to him, but when he casually looked down at it, he was suddenly stunned.
Because the bag contained not only candies and chocolates, but also cigarettes and alcohol.
As a person born at the end of the old era, when Elon became a scavenger, the situation on the ground was not as bad as it is now. At least the supplies were much more abundant than they are now, so he knew everything in the bag and knew how precious they were in this era.
But apart from the things in the bag, what puzzled him even more was what Shen Ye had just said.
"Do I need these things on the ground?" he asked doubtfully.
Shen Ye nodded, then took out a pack of opened cigarettes, took out a cigarette and handed it to him: "Will you?"
"Of course, I used to smoke this stuff often when supplies were not controlled." Elon licked his lips and took it impatiently. Although cigarettes are now popular in the lighthouse, even he can only smoke one occasionally to satisfy his craving. After all, this stuff is also a controlled material in the lighthouse.
With the cigarette skillfully between his lips, Elon stood up and found a fuel lighter from under the bed behind him. However, he did not light it for himself first. Instead, he politely lit the cigarette for Shen Ye first.
“The authentic ones are still more satisfying!”
After lighting his own cigarette, Elon sighed and then raised a new question.
"The cigarettes you gave me were all new. Did you discover a large storage warehouse for supplies while you were on the ground?"
"Almost. It's a supermarket warehouse and it's well preserved." Shen Ye lied casually, knowing that no one would verify it anyway.
"You are such a lucky guy." Elon exclaimed again and then mentioned the previous question.
"Why do you think I'd need this thing on the surface? Are there really still many humans alive on the surface?"
"Almost." Shen Ye replied with this word again, and then said: "You will know when you go to the ground."
"Hearing you say that, I'm actually looking forward to this long journey." Elon took a deep drag on his cigarette, and in the swirling smoke, he suddenly said lightly: "Aren't you worried that I will tell the city lord about what you said?"
"City Lord Morgan has never trusted me." Shen Ye smiled, then asked rhetorically, "Also, do you think they dare to go down?"
Hearing this, Elon was stunned for a moment, and then he started laughing too.
"You're right, they... really don't dare."
