Pukou District, the ruins of Nanjing: A cloud of dust flew through the ruins and finally stopped on the side of a large river, revealing its original appearance in the smoke.
It was a handsome maglev motorcycle. Just like the Yan Huang 3008, it was also the latest maglev motorcycle.
It was a gift from Liunian Ling to Guhan when he parted ways with Liunian Ling.
Otherwise, Guhan would not have had the means of transportation to Nanjing City Ruins, which was hundreds of kilometers away.
The maglev motorcycle was not much slower than a hovercraft. It was much more agile and could easily travel through the forest. With the cover of the forest, Guhan managed to avoid many Yuan Kou along the way. Those that he could not avoid were killed by a flash of his sword. It was extremely fast. They set off in the morning and arrived at the bank of the Yangtze River in Pukou District around one in the afternoon.
After casually clearing away a few unlucky Rat Grade Soul Devils wandering nearby, Gu Han stepped onto a sand dune by the side of the Yangtze River. Gazing at this great river that had been affectionately called the Mother River by the Chinese before the Great Calamity, he couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
It was the first time in Guhan's life that he stood by the Yangtze River. It was the first time he was so close to it.
Previously, when he was passing by Yueyang Fortress, he had traveled by the Yangtze River. However, that was on a maglev bus. It was not as clear as standing by the shore.
"What are you looking at?"
Misaka Mikoto walked up to Guhan in a large down jacket. It was September, the tail end of summer. The weather was still hot and the temperature outside was around 35 degrees Celsius. It was a brave thing for Misaka Mikoto to wear a down jacket under such circumstances … However, it could not be helped. Under the down jacket, Misaka Mikoto was the insulated damp reservoir. If she did not wear a large down jacket to cover up the damp reservoir, she would not even have the courage to go out … Although there was no one else other than Guhan in Nanjing City Ruins.
"I'm looking at the river!"
Guhan looked at the surging Yangtze River and sighed, "This is the mother river of our Huaxia people. It is said that our Huaxia people live and reproduce by relying on this river.
She is our Huaxia's mother, but most humans don't even have the ability to see their mother with their own eyes. "
"I know, the Yangtze River is also very famous in Japan!"
Misaka Mikoto heard Guhan's words and her heart was in turmoil. "I'm the same as you. I don't know how long it's been since I've seen Japan's Mount Fuji. That's the father of Japan!"
"Shouldn't your Fusang's father be Xu Fu?"
Gu Han smiled and said, "Xu Fu said it himself. After he came to Japan, he slaughtered almost all the natives of Japan. After that, the people of Japan are actually the descendants of Xu Fu's 300 virgin boys and girls and thousands of sailors. Xu Fu is your real father. You people of Japan are also part of Huaxia."
"Huaxia is willing to admit that Japan is also part of Huaxia?"
Misaka Mikoto turned around abruptly and glared at Gu Han. "Have you forgotten the sins that we, the Japanese, have committed?
Especially in this place, this place called Nanjing. I still can't believe that our ancestors would do such inhumane things. "
"Huaxia won't forget … but you've also suffered retribution!"
Gu Han let out a long sigh, "During the Great Calamity, almost all of your Fusang people died at the hands of Yuan Yan. Only a few pitiful orphans managed to assimilate into Yuzhang City and Yanjing City. This can also be considered a kind of retribution!"
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. This isn't my world. The Japan of this world isn't my Japan either. There's no campus city for me here. I'm not even a guest here, I'm just a bandit." Misaka Mikoto's brows were filled with sorrow.
Guhan did not expect Misaka Mikoto to see himself and the world in this way.
She actually realized that she was a bandit and not the master of this world. There were very few Yuan Kou who could realize this. Guhan could not help but look at Misaka Mikoto in a higher light. Guhan suddenly felt that saving Misaka Mikoto was the right decision. If only Yuan Kou could realize this like Misaka Mikoto!
Thinking of this, Guhan could not help but think of Artoria. Did she realize this as well?
And that filth, did it really exist in this world?
"Ms. Misaka, can I ask you a question?"
Guhan suddenly realized that he did not need to guess at all. Misaka Mikoto, who was a free person, was right beside him. She did not seem to be affected by the filth at all. Perhaps he could get the truth about the filth from her!
"Of course, as long as I know, I can answer you."
Misaka Mikoto nodded. She now had a lot of trust in Guhan. As long as Guhan wanted to, he could kill her with a single swing of his sword.
However, he was willing to protect her from danger. Misaka Mikoto would remember this kindness in her heart.
"Ms. Misaka, may I ask if you know about the filth?" Guhan asked directly.
"Filth!"
Misaka Mikoto was stunned. She did not expect Guhan to ask such a question. "How do you know about this name?
Are the higher-ups of the human race planning to announce this information to the public? "
"No, it's just a vague and obscure information. I'm not sure what the higher-ups mean …" Guhan shook his head. This information was only announced through the dungeon's plot. The higher-ups of the human race had never released any official information about the filth.
Most of the players did not pay much attention to the information about the filth. Only a small portion of the players started a private discussion about the filth.
If the higher-ups did not want the humans to know about the filth, they should have completely sealed off the "King Arthur's Betrayal" dungeon and banned all private discussions about the filth. If the higher-ups wanted to announce it, all they had to do was to publish a piece of news in the newspaper.
However, the higher-ups had chosen the middle method. Even though the discussion about the filth was brewing in the dark, the higher-ups turned a deaf ear to it. It was as if they had never heard about it. Guhan could not help but suspect that there was something shameful going on.
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you the specifics. That's because the information about the filth was included in the agreement between us and the humans. Only you humans have the right to tell the information about the filth to yourselves. We, the freemen, are not allowed to tell other humans about the secret of the filth."
Misaka Mikoto paused for a while. "If you're worried about the filth's influence on me, don't worry. We, the freemen, have gotten rid of the filth's influence on us. We're just a bunch of pitiful people who don't care about anything."
"I understand." Guhan nodded after listening to Misaka Mikoto's words. He did not ask any further questions.
"Mr. Guhan, we're now at the edge of the Yangtze River. Jianye District is on the other side of the river, and Yuhuatai District is just over ten kilometers away from us. Shouldn't we cross the river as soon as possible and rush to Yuhuatai District?" Misaka Mikoto said anxiously.
"That's right. Crossing the river is something we have to do!"
Guhan pointed at the bridge on the right that was hidden in the fog and said, "That's the Nanjing Yangtze River's Third Largest Bridge. However, it's already damaged. The bridge deck in the middle is completely broken. Unless we plan to swim halfway, it's impossible for us to cross it."
Then, Guhan pointed at another bridge on the other side and said, "That's the Nanjing Yangtze River's Bridge. It's been around for thousands of years. Although the bridge deck has collapsed in many places, it's not broken. That's the most convenient way to cross the bridge!"
"Then we'll cross the Nanjing Yangtze River's Bridge!" Misaka Mikoto said anxiously.
"However, if we cross the river from the Nanjing Yangtze River's Bridge, we'll have to pass through Xuanwu District and Qinhuai District to reach Yuhuatai District. These are all areas where the zombies are. If we take this route, I'm afraid we'll have to fight our way through."
As he said that, even Guhan's face showed signs of fear. "As zombies, the scariest thing about them is their fearless will and their terrifying numbers.
I'm just a sword wielder. If we get entangled by the zombies, we'll definitely die! "
Although Guhan said that they would definitely die, he was just a sword wielder. However, he was actually slightly stronger than a famed sword wielder. Hence, Guhan did not want to reveal his true strength.
"What's there to be afraid of? We'll just kill our way through. I only need my Super Electromagnetic Gun …" Misaka Mikoto wanted to say that her Super Electromagnetic Gun could wipe out all the Yuan Kou in the three streets. However, she immediately realized that she was no longer her old self. She was just an unlucky person who needed Guhan's protection.
"You're right. We can't cross the Nanjing Yangtze River's Bridge."
Misaka Mikoto shook her head vigorously. She was very distressed. "But if we don't cross the bridge, what should we do?
Do we have to swim across?
I haven't been in the water for hundreds of years. "
"No, it's too dangerous in the water. No one knows if there's any Yuan Kou in the water. Our sword wielder's combat power will decrease by more than ten times in the water."
As he said that, Guhan felt a headache coming on. It was a well-known fact that sword wielder were not good at fighting in the water. Due to the water resistance and the inability to maintain a stable buoyancy, a Blademaster would be lucky to be able to unleash twenty percent of her swordsmanship in the water. One could imagine the outcome of the battle if she encountered a Yuan Kou in the water.
Therefore, the first advice that sword wielder received from their teacher was to never try to fight Yuan Kou in the water unless your Blademaster was a water element Blademaster.
"If this doesn't work and that doesn't work, how are we going to get across?" Misaka Mikoto grumbled.
"Through here!" Guhan stomped on the ground.
"What do you mean?
Through the ground? "Misaka Mikoto was stunned.
"That's right. We're going to go through the ground." Guhan smiled.
