Doomsday Code

Another three months passed. During these three months, Chen Cheng was taken by Samlet to travel through different forests, and Samlet had no intention of returning to the hematite mine.

Finally, he arrived at an unknown forest. Samlet had no intention of running any further, so he cut wood and built a house in the forest and lived the life of a savage.

Chen Cheng has been able to speak for six months. It can be said that he uttered a real sentence a week ago after he discovered that his vocal cords were strong enough to support him in making various syllables.

Although it didn't feel so smooth at the beginning, he was still very happy to be able to speak familiar authentic Chinese in this strange land. At least he spoke the same language as Samlett and the others, which at least proved that this was still China or a world with the same language.

Although Samlett was asked about China and other issues later, he said he didn't know, but the probability of belonging to the same language was almost the same as the probability of human beings being born on Earth, and he was lucky to meet him.

At least he doesn't have to learn a foreign language. After all, his biggest headache was the CET-4 and CET-6 exams when he was sixteen years old. This is why all the papers he wrote on controlled nuclear fusion were in Chinese, and it was Kohlberg who translated the English version for him when he applied for the Nobel Prize.

It was because of his suggestion that Samlett took him to settle down in this unknown mountain.

After a week of conversation and understanding, Chen Cheng also realized that the two should be safe here now.

Samlett was only surprised at the beginning about Chen Cheng's innate knowledge, but then he accepted Chen Cheng's setting very naturally.

At first, Chen Cheng thought that he had some passive buff that forced people to lower their intelligence, until later Samlet told him that he was the new emperor of an empire that had already fallen.

The children born of royal blood all have various mechanisms of precocity and extraordinary intelligence. Chen Cheng then understood why he was not surprised by his precocity.

In his heart, Chen Cheng was complaining about the ancestors of this body of his. In order to deify the imperial power, they actually described their newly born descendants as geniuses. This was totally illogical.

I was reborn with all my memories, otherwise how could you really think that everyone is born with knowledge?

After some understanding, Chen Cheng learned that the continent he was on was called Cammack Continent. The entire continent was divided into the Central Continent and the Four Polar Continents. Only the strongest, most powerful and most prosperous race on the continent could occupy the Central Continent.

Two thousand years ago, his ancestor, Thorn Flower Hopes, unified the continent and established the Thorn Flower Kingdom on the central continent, becoming the supreme emperor.

This is a world of swords and magic, and naturally there have been some magical anecdotes circulating since ancient times. For example, a forbidden code left by ancient gods is buried somewhere on the continent. Legend has it that whoever gets this code will bring destruction to the entire world.

The Kingdom of Thorn Flowers where he was born was where his great-grandfather sent people to find the Doomsday Code, which symbolized death and destruction, two hundred years ago, and brought it back to the palace in the name of protecting the world.

It was also because of the exposure of this matter that the entire empire finally collapsed. Nobles and heroes from all walks of life led their troops into the capital and finally destroyed the Thorn Flower Kingdom that had existed for a thousand years.

However, although the emperor committed suicide and the kingdom was destroyed, the Doomsday Code, which symbolized death and destruction, was never found, so his grandfather, father, and he were hunted endlessly.

When Chen Cheng learned that his country was destroyed because of such an absurd reason, he really felt both amused and sad.

The excuse his great-grandfather found was very good, but he shouldn't have publicized such things. As a qualified monarch, such taboos should have been known to fewer people.

It would not be excessive to even take some extreme actions against those involved afterwards.

However, when he thought of this, Chen Cheng felt that he was overthinking. Anyway, he was a little baby now, and he had never seen any palace in his new life. There was only a haggard couple and a bearded man, and then there was constant hunting. Who knew that what Samlett said was right?

Because this is too absurd. A powerful dynasty that ruled the world for nearly a thousand years collapsed overnight for such a ridiculous reason. This is even worse than those third-rate stories.

When Samlett saw Chen Cheng's face full of disbelief, he became a little anxious. In the days that followed, Samlett often explained to him the horror of the Doomsday Code.

........................

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years later, in the Nanmu Forest, a young man nearly 1.8 meters tall and wearing animal skins was walking through the forest. In his hand was a short, black, hollow iron rod. Behind him, a group of adult level 3 blood wolves were chasing him with their mouths wide open.

Just as the young man turned around a thousand-year-old tree, he turned around and aimed the iron rod in his hand at the nearest blood wolf chasing him. Then there was a loud bang, and the nearest blood wolf paused and flew backwards, with many bloody holes on its body.

After killing the blood wolf, the young man did not stop but continued to run forward. At the same time, he took out a small box of black powder from the animal leather bag on his waist and poured it into the hollow part of the iron rod to compact it. Then he took out a handful of small iron balls and stuffed them into the iron rod.

When the blood wolves saw their own kind dead, their eyes became even more bloodshot. Several blood-red blades slashed at his back, but he used the tall trees in the forest to get rid of them, and then turned around and fired another shot when the opportunity arose.

After running away and turning around several times, the blood wolves became scared and gave up chasing Chen Cheng.

When Chen Cheng saw the bloody wolves running away, he quickly climbed up a big tree and then sat on a branch to rest.

"Don't look that out, old Sam."

"Hehe, your majesty has learned the physical skills well."

A Samlett, also dressed in animal skins, jumped out of the woods.

"I told you not to call me Your Majesty. And how about my weapon? Isn't it much more powerful than a bow and arrow?"

Chen Cheng held up the homemade shotgun in his hand and said to Sam with some pride.

However, Samlett curled his lips and said:

"Your Majesty, although this little thing seems powerful and easy to operate, it is still nothing compared to the secret bows and arrows of the regular army. Not only is it slow, but it is also less lethal. So, Your Majesty, you should just follow me and learn martial arts."

However, Chen Cheng didn't care.

"Don't talk about secret bows and arrows. How can ordinary people like us get access to them? Ordinary bows and arrows are useless against these level 3 blood wolves. And our ordinary shotguns that don't need the blessing of a magician can kill one with one shot."

The two of them had been arguing for an unknown amount of time about their own martial arts and Chen Cheng's technology, so Sam didn't say much this time, but went downstairs to skin the blood wolves and take them back as food.

At night, in a cave in the Nanmu Forest, Chen Cheng and his two companions sat around a campfire roasting the bloody wolf meat that Chen Cheng had caught today.

In the past ten years, the two of them have moved to several mountains and forests, and have been thousands of miles away from their original base. In order to avoid being hunted down, Chen Cheng has never really left the mountain to see what the world outside the mountain is like.

All these years in the mountains he ate the flesh and blood of these powerful beasts, which made Chen Cheng, who had a weak constitution in his previous life, have a stronger physique than ordinary people in this life. At the same time, he has the height of an adult man at a minor age. If you don’t mention his age, everyone would think he is an adult with a childish appearance.

Although he didn't understand what Sam said about using qi and luck to practice martial arts, his physique was comparable to that of an ordinary bronze-level warrior after being fed with the flesh and blood of these ferocious beasts.

The two of them were grilling food in silence, and at this moment Sam spoke up:

"Your Majesty, I want to take you to the City of Chaos for the great cause of restoring the country."

However, Chen Cheng remained silent because Sam had already made this proposal to him several years ago, but he had never agreed.

After understanding the military structure of this world, Chen Cheng discovered that if Sam had not lied to him that his ancestors had lost their country because of the so-called code, then he could not imagine how he could have the virtue or ability to restore his country.

Moreover, as an engineering student in his previous life, he had no intention of doing such an earth-shaking career. Scientific research in his previous life was enough to annoy him, and in this life he had to shoulder the task of restoring the country, so he really wanted to escape from it all.

Because he thought of the villain in a novel by Mr. Jin Yong, and he didn't want to end up becoming a madman like that person.

And if there really are gods in this world, then his rebirth is the gods' wish for him to get rid of the fatigue of his previous life and live an easier life in this life.

Chen Cheng stood up and walked to the wooden rack in the cave. On the rack was the holy sword of thorn flower, the symbol of imperial power. He took the sword down and came to Samlett.

When Samlett saw Chen Cheng coming to him with a sword in his hand, he knelt down on his knees and bowed devoutly to Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng drew out the magic sword, placed the blade on Samlett's shoulder and said:

"I, in the name of His Majesty Brown Hops, the sixteenth emperor of the Kingdom of Thorn Flower, order Samlet to terminate his subordinate relationship with Brown Hops and grant Samlet all the rights of a free man."

After saying that, Chen Cheng took back the sword, but Samlett just knelt there stupidly, and then he let out a thunderous cry.
