Doomsday Code

Chen Cheng has lived with Samlett for more than ten years, but this was the only two times he could remember seeing this strong man cry. The previous time was when he was born and took him away to escape.

When Chen Cheng saw Samlett crying, he felt very uncomfortable, but he knew that this was not the life he and Samlett should have.

He has no ambition to restore his country and become king. At the same time, Samlet should be a super strong man sought after by human beings all over the continent, rather than a savage and nanny who lives in the mountains with his children.

Chen Cheng stepped forward and helped Samlet up and said:

"Uncle Sam, you should know that I have no intention of restoring my country. The Empire of Thorns is a thing of the past. Historical experience tells us that we need to look forward in life.

It is thanks to your care over the years that I have been able to grow up.

Now I can support myself, and you, as the strongest legendary warrior in the continent, should not be with someone like me who has no ambition.

You should have a wider world. You are the one standing at the pinnacle of power in this world. You should enjoy the fame and praise that belongs to you, instead of being a savage with me in these uninhabited mountains and forests."

This was the first time that Chen Cheng truly said that he had no ambition to restore the country, and after hearing this, Samlett cried even harder.

In his eyes, he thought that his education of Chen Cheng was wrong and that he was incompetent, which forced his monarch to hide in the wilderness and forests, and thus eroded his kingly heart.

It's all my own fault.

After crying for a while, Sam made up his mind. He would go to the City of Chaos and raise a powerful guard army. He wanted to give Chen Cheng hope and let him see that everyone in this world still yearns for the Empire of Thorns.

The next morning, Chen Cheng got up and lifted the animal skin blanket. He wanted to call Uncle Sam, but when he saw the empty stone cave and the animal skins on the stone table, he was speechless.

He picked up the animal skin and looked at it. On the skin was a letter left for him by Samlett. It said that he was going to the City of Chaos, where he would build a powerful army for Chen Cheng and let Chen Cheng know that there were still many people in this world who yearned for the Thorn Flower Dynasty.

Although Chen Cheng was a little worried about Samlett, he was extremely happy to see that Samlet was able to let go of himself and really go out and explore the world.

As for forming a team or something, Chen Cheng didn't feel anything wrong with it.

After all, he is still a wanted criminal to the outside world and needs some subordinates around him.

As for himself, Chen Cheng had never thought about really returning to Samlett to take over any team.

Chen Cheng looked at the cave where he had lived for more than two years, and then he walked to the wooden stand where the magic sword was placed and bowed. Then he reached out and took the magic sword off the wooden stand, and then took it to the traditional smelting site outside the cave.

Chen Cheng's shotgun was shaped by hand-kneading and smelting here. Now that he has given up the cause of restoring the country, this divine golden sword is a bit eye-catching next to him. He might as well melt it into gold and take it out to spend as money.

Of course, if his ancestors in this life were still alive, they would definitely want to beat this unfilial descendant to death. Chen Cheng couldn't help but smile as he thought about this.

"My dear ancestors, I am going out to explore the world now. It is difficult to move around without any money. Please forgive me."

Chen Cheng used an animal skin blower to raise the fire in the furnace, then picked up the golden sword and put the tip of the sword into the crucible to slowly melt it.

But after a long time, the crucible was burned orange and yellow and turned white, but the golden sword still showed no signs of melting, not even a little bit of being burned red. When the golden sword was picked up, the tip of the sword was still at room temperature.

But logically speaking, this temperature should have reached the melting point of gold, and the thermal conductivity of metal is very good. This made Chen Cheng a little troubled.

When Chen Cheng saw that the sword could not be melted, he sighed for a long time. This good start-up capital was gone just like that.

In the end, in order to keep it secret, they had to pour a layer of iron sheet on top of it to cover its original golden appearance.

It was three days later when he finished all this. In his hand was an ordinary iron sword that was ancient, mottled, and had some holes in it, and it was of the most common and inferior quality.

Seeing his masterpiece, Chen Cheng put away his sword with satisfaction. Then he pushed the simple smelting plant to extinguish the fire. After all, he knew that setting fire to the mountain would result in life imprisonment.

Then Chen Cheng packed up the items in the cave, put on the 14th-level monster leather armor that he had collected over the years, and then set off with his flintlock shotgun and big sword.

Walking through the deep mountains and old forests, Chen Cheng felt the joy of seeing the prey when he heard the roars of various powerful beasts from time to time.

At this moment, he felt that the invisible shackles on his body had been taken off, and he was in a state of relaxation and joy.

Of course, Chen Cheng was also very clear about his own capabilities. He strictly followed the teachings of Samlett over the years and tried to be as careful and sneaky as possible in the woods here. In addition, in order to prevent him from being attacked by powerful beasts when he was alone in the cave, Sam had got him some beast-repelling pills made from the feces of a level 16 peak, half-step, level 17 super monster black dragon.

Don’t think it’s dirty and disgusting just because you hear it’s feces. Of course, Chen Cheng also thought so at the beginning, but when he saw the animal repellent pill, Chen Cheng gave up the idea.

This black dragon at the peak of level sixteen is already one of the most powerful creatures in the entire continent. The energy contained in his body is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Naturally, his excrement after eating is not only not dirty but also emits a unique fragrance.

This thing is just like how humans on Earth use sperm whale feces to make top-grade ambergris.

Of course, all of the above is what Samlet told him, and his own positive associations. After all, no one wants to carry a bunch of stuff with them.

With this beast-repelling pill on him, even if the ferocious beasts discovered Chen Cheng, they would run away as soon as they smelled his scent.

For several days, Chen Cheng moved forward in a straight line in the mountains. The mountains in the forest were high and the trees were dense. If it weren't for the fact that he had lived in the forest since his rebirth, he would have thought that Chen Cheng would have been very proud.

Samlett also often took him to the deep mountains and forests to practice his survival skills in the wild, otherwise he would have been exhausted to death from walking in the forest.

Finally, after Chen Cheng climbed over a hill, his vision suddenly became clear and a large open space appeared in the vast forest in front of him.

Here, clear spring water flows gently from the mountains, and a small wooden village has been built by the stream. Outside the village, you can see a dozen busy natives in rough linen clothes.

Chen Cheng also knew that these people were savages who were not under official jurisdiction.

When the children playing in the mud on the ridges of the fields saw Chen Cheng, they immediately ran towards the village shouting. When the adults who were working saw Chen Cheng, they immediately picked up their farm tools and slowly retreated to the entrance of the village, staring at him hungrily.

Soon Chen Cheng saw more than a dozen armed men, women, old and young pouring out of the village, and in front of them was a skinny old man wearing leather armor made of blood wolf skin and holding a wooden stick.

When Chen Cheng saw this, how could he not understand what was going on? These native savages regarded him as an enemy.

Then Chen Cheng heard the old man in the lead say in very poor official language:

"Our village has nothing to trade, please leave our village quickly..."

The old man kept repeating these few words, and when Chen Cheng told him the purpose of his visit, the old man ignored him and just kept urging him to leave.

Since there was no way to communicate, Chen Cheng had to get up and leave. After all, his goal was to go to the real town in this world, not the village of savages in front of him who were half-naked and wearing linen clothes.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chen Cheng leaving. If he had not just seen the sword on Chen Cheng's waist, he would have ordered the villagers to come up and kill Chen Cheng.

The savage villages in the mountains and forests like theirs are very xenophobic. Also, because they have no systematic knowledge to learn, the slave-hunting teams outside like to find villages like theirs to massacre and capture slaves.

Chen Cheng walked around the village and came to the downstream of the stream. Then he bent down and scooped up some stream water to drink his fill. Then he filled the leather bag around his waist with water and continued on his way.

But when he had walked less than two miles, he heard a loud explosion, followed by a cloud of smoke rising.

Chen Cheng looked in the direction where the smoke was rising and knew that it must be the fire in the indigenous village he had just passed.

Originally Chen Cheng wanted to leave, but when he saw the smoke getting thicker, he finally turned around and walked back.

Since we met in this forest, this can be regarded as my fate with this village. Now that the village has suffered a disaster, I can go back to help them put out the fire, and it is possible that I can find a good place to stay with them tonight.

Because even though he had the beast-repelling pills on him so he wasn't afraid of the monsters in the mountains, those low-intelligence mosquitoes didn't care and still came to suck his blood.

What Chen Cheng didn't know was that this trip back home would really change his life, and his life as a slave would begin.
