Chapter 3 The Era of Cataclysm

Looking at this bowl of Guru Guru, the odorless yellow soup, Duke fell into deep thought - is this something people can drink?

"Thank you aunt, I think...I shouldn't need these, really."

Although Duke has a good impression of Aunt Casey, after all, the other party has taken good care of him these days, but this is completely different from drinking this bowl of dark food.

Duke didn't know if his stomach was strong, but he didn't want to try it.

Seeing Duke refuse, Casey didn't insist too much, but he showed a sad and sad look on his face.

"Okay OK, I know you may not be used to the food we have here, after all, you didn't live here before."

Casey waved his hand and the servant quickly took the food down. Then she sat in the empty seat beside Duke.

Barrit, who was in the main position, then spoke:

"Everyone is here, let's have a meal."

The servants entered one after another.

Duke breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the food they were holding.

The food was similar to what the little maid sent to his room before, and it was not the kind of dark food that Casey brought.

Some black and red vegetables, some fried meat from some animals, a three-legged chicken that is the size of a domestic pig, and the sour and astringent red wine with a rust smell.

It is definitely not worth mentioning that it tastes delicious, but it is not bad to say it is not good. I can only say that it can be eaten.

Duke didn't know if it was because of his own or because the Elvis family had rules that they would not speak for food. Since he sat here, everyone stopped talking, and the lunch was very quiet.

Duke originally wanted to communicate with everyone, but he felt that they were all cold, and Duke did not have the habit of sticking to his butt with a hot face, so he had to give up.

Of course, it’s not that no one talks to Duke. At least Casey is very enthusiastic, and Duke is a little uncomfortable with the enthusiastic one.

Fortunately, halfway through the meal, a servant came to Casey to whisper, as if something important was happening. Casey apologized to everyone, then kissed him on the forehead despite Duke's objection and hurriedly left.

Duke can finally have a quiet meal.

More than ten minutes later.

"I've eaten."

Duke wiped his mouth, and when he saw that Uncle Barry nodded and said nothing, he left with great tactfulness.

After Duke walked out of the restaurant door, the dull restaurant seemed to have regained its vitality in an instant.

The moment he closed the door, Duke vaguely heard someone say something:

"Why didn't he die..."

With a slight pause in his hand, Duke turned and left without changing his expression.

"Master Duke, do you have any more instructions?"

The maid Alisa appeared in front of Duke from somewhere, and there was no sound of footsteps.

This little maid doesn't even walk soundly!

Duke complained in his heart, but he asked with a smile on his face:

"Have you eaten?"

"No."

Alisa's eyes drooped.

"Then you go to have a meal first, don't worry about me."

Duke waved his hand. In the Elvis family, servants could not eat before their masters.

"Yes, Master."

Alisa slowly retreated, then turned and left.

Seeing Alyssa's back disappear, Duke then tidied up his clothes and left here.

After more than ten minutes, he returned to his room slowly. After closing the door, Duke instantly leaned against the wall, gasping slightly, and his heart beat rapidly.

"'Why didn't he die' This 'he' refers to me..."

Duke ignored it before, or subconsciously avoided a serious problem - why did he get up from the coffin?

Simply put, why did he die?

Duke had a lucky chance before. According to Alisa, she suddenly fainted three days ago and then lost her life characteristics - this may be an accident.

But now it seems that even if it is an accident, there are still people in this family who hope he will die!

And, what if it's not an accident?

When he came to this strange world, Duke had to use the greatest malicious intention to guess others.

This home cannot be stayed for a long time!

After going to the bathroom to take a shower, change his clothes, Duke sat on a chair and began to sort out what he knew.

He Duke is the direct lineage of the Elvis family, and the Elvis family is a big family with a name and surname in Shuguang City.

Logically speaking, he would not be able to walk around in Dawn City, but at least he would be respected by many people.

But that's not the case - because he returned to the Elvis family a week ago.

And a week ago, he was just a wanderer outside the city.

Duke also had some impression of the original memory of this body. As the pastor of the church said, he used to fight against the raiders and snatch food with corpses and hyenas.

And most importantly, he used to be stupid and seemed to have some mental problems. To put it bluntly, he is a fool.

When he was found by Aunt Casey, many people from the Elvis family didn't like him, as if they thought he had lost his family. After all, there was a fool in the family and he was still a direct line, which would sound a bit bad.

Of course, at that time, everyone just didn't like him, and no one said "Why didn't he die?"

Duke didn't know what happened in the family these days when he was "dead". But he knew that after he survived, it might affect some people or most of the interests?

Duke felt that he just hated someone and probably wouldn't say such malicious words, and there must be a dispute over interests.

However, Duke was a little confused.

According to Aunt Casey, after he was born, he was left in the wilderness of the city due to an accident, and he wandered in the wilderness for the first half of his life.

But looking at his white and slender hands and his skin that seemed to be able to pinch water, they looked like a wanderer.

This obviously doesn't match what Casey said, and it's definitely not like this when wandering for half a lifetime.

"Aunt Casey is wrong? I'm not from the Elvis family?"

Duke suddenly had this idea.

But when I think about it, I feel it is impossible. After all, he is just a weak chicken without power. Whoever recognizes relatives randomly when he is fine, and he doesn't want to do anything...

Duke's index finger hit the table rhythmically.

His memory before his "death" was very vague, and he had very few memories after he came to life. Except for his deep impression of the priest with the left-handed pistol and the right-handed grenade, he had only a little understanding of everything else.

After thinking about it, Duke pressed a green button on the table, which was the way to call the servant.

Soon, a knock came from the door.

"Master Duke, are you looking for me?"

"Come in."

Elsa walked in respectfully.

"Please give me instructions."

Looking at the little maid, Duke pointed to the chair opposite.

"Sit down, I want to know...well, this world."

Duke said straight to the point.

Anyway, he was a fool in the eyes of others before, so it should not be inconsistent to say this.

"Okay young master."

As expected, Alyssa didn't say anything. She brought a thin booklet from the bookshelf next to her.

It says "Catrocity Era"

Duke discovered another small problem he had overlooked before, that is, the fonts in this world are different from any fonts he had seen, just like ghost painting talismans, but he recognized them and could communicate smoothly.

Alyssa did not notice Duke's abnormality. She stood in front of Duke, and spoke softly:

"According to the speculation on the Era of Catastrophe, a war of destruction occurred in our world for a few years ago, and this war almost destroyed human civilization. But humans are strong, and the remaining humans survived. In this wilderness full of dangers and radiating everywhere, they survived tenaciously like savages. They are our ancestors..."

"After countless years, our writing was born, and with the excavation of some ancient ruins, we have integrated some pre-war knowledge and formed a new civilization, which is called the Catastrophe Era... Now it is the Catastrophe Era of 1033."
