Chapter 103

Soon after the black line appeared on the horizon, the ground changed from a flat desert to a rugged ground full of strange stones.

Bahram spent the whole day walking through the stones.

Since he was a child, he lived in the saline alkali land under the nest, and never climbed higher.

These stones are very smooth. The roaring wind all day corrodes small pits on the stone surface, and some water is in it, like dotted gemstones.

There are strange cliffs in front. Their lower parts have smooth surfaces, and their upper parts are very uneven.

These cliffs marked that he had reached the foothills of Somus and was really far away from his home.

The towering mountains are like a group of silent giants, really overlooking the earth.

Bahram took some time to check his resources.

He still has half a bottle of water, half a bag of dry food and an ill fitting leather coat.

In order to supply, he began to look for spring water in the rock fissure.

If it is in the saline alkali land where he lives, he knows where to look for water - the places where the soil is darker are often the places where the groundwater seeps out.

But in the mountains, he can only trust his intuition and judgment.

Bahram decided to start from the bottom of the cliff. He guessed that water could seep into the surface through cracks and faults, and sometimes plants marked the location of the water source.

Don't doubt that as a wild child born at the bottom of the nest, he knows so much.

In fact, Bahram's family used to be a member of the upper echelon of the nest, but after a failed political speculation, his grandfather was deprived of all wealth and power and reduced to the lower echelon of the nest.

But that doesn't mean they're reduced.

In fact, with his knowledge and unusual insight, his father easily got a job as a salt mine supervisor, while Bahram himself received his grandfather's education at home until his grandfather died three years ago.

It was from his grandfather that he first learned about the existence of angels.

They are the embodiment of the will of the emperor, strong, immortal and invincible.

If there is anything that can become the ultimate dream of a child man, it must be astate.

This is also the purpose of his trip.

Bahram spent most of the morning searching for water, walking through a maze of gullies leading to the mountains.

It's very cool because it's surrounded by rocks, but he has a slight sense of claustrophobia here because he came from the plain.

Finally he found a bowl basin.

Although it is surrounded by cliffs, there is still enough space for the sun to shine down.

He never thought he would miss the sun so much, but after walking in the shadow for a day, he was eager to see the sky.

A steep river extends from the bottom of the basin to the mountains. There is a thin waterfall, so a small pool of water is gathered at the bottom of the basin.

The pool is surrounded by a cluster of water leaves. Their immature leaves are close to the thorny and hard stems, and the mature leaves on the outside are consumables - they are full of water and have no sharp spines. They are used to attract animals to eat them, so as to spread the seeds with the tips hanging from the leaves to the distance.

Bahram slid down from the edge of the rock, picked the seeds from the leaves and began to chew.

The taste of water leaves is very bitter, but after walking for three days without water and food, they taste like the nectar that angels should drink.

After that, he bent down and picked up the water with a bottle. In the process, he washed his rough face with clean water

"Tut Tut, look what we found. There is a nest that has polluted our water source."

When he heard the sound, Bahram quickly turned around.

I saw two boys standing at the entrance of the basin.

They are as thin as wood, wearing strange clothes, hanging all kinds of survival tools on their belts, and carrying heavy square backpacks on their backs.

On their shoulders, they also carry white metal brackets.

Bahram dropped the bottle, stood up, assumed a defensive posture, and touched his hand to his back waist, where his grandfather left him a beautiful pistol.

The two boys are older and taller than him, especially the one who is talking.

The second man is a bald man, but he is very strong. He has some tattoos on his arms. He looks bad.

Bahram tried to hide his vigilance when he spoke.

"Hello."

"Who are you?"

Asked the second boy.

But Bahram didn't answer, so the first boy had to make a helpless face, show his black teeth, and then walked to the basin.

"Tired to death."

He put the backpack down and made a clear sound when the bracket was put down.

After putting down the burden, the boy stretched his waist beautifully.

"He's not very smart. I can see that you're similar to him."

The first boy put on a big smile, and the second boy, who looked short and strong, pulled down his face at his companion.

"My brain is shining. At least I know how to live here. At least I found here first."

Bahram retorted.

"Also, if you are thirsty, touch it yourself."

He tries to be friendly. Living in the lower layer of the nest, he naturally knows how to avoid trouble and conflict.

But the other party is not very grateful.

"We don't need your consent."

Said the stout boy, deliberately bumping his chin against heram's shoulder as he walked over.

"Don't waste your time. We don't know much about him yet."

The first boy said, went to a stone beside Bahram and squatted down.

"Where are you going, boy?"

Bahram chose to avoid his question.

"I have a cousin who is ill. I want to see him. It will be much more convenient to go anywhere in grey cliff town."

"Ah, grey cliff town, and where are you going?"

The older boy grabbed what Bahram said.

"Do you want to catch the last bus?"

He said mysteriously, with an expression that I saw through you.

"Want to take part in the test of angels?"

It turned out that as early as seven days ago, the battle head of the star Knight suddenly announced the postponement of the primary election. At the same time, there were no restrictions on identity. Any healthy and up to age teenagers could participate in the screening.

However, candidates from the middle and upper levels of non nest capital can only go to several registration points set by themselves, register there, and then take a vehicle to Somus noble college.

Grey cliff town, which is located at the junction of the lower and middle floors of Somus chaodu, is one of these registration points.

The most special thing about the town is that it is built on a cliff.

The purpose of the town was to collect a rare bird's droppings, which is an important raw material for making a special perfume.

This perfume is not only popular with women at the top of the nest, but also exported to other planets.

In order to prevent disturbing these birds, no road or track facilities have been built in Huiya town. People can only climb the cliffs of nearly 1000 meters with their bare hands.

So people can only go there in the season of collecting bird droppings. Most of the time, there are very few residents in the town.

The star Knight chose the registration point there, which is obviously intentional.
