Section 19 Devouring 1
Hey, when others have holidays, I go to work overtime...... tragic
I'm sorry to all readers, but I couldn't get online yesterday. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As far as the eye can see, it is all yellow and green.
The climate of this place, if placed on Earth, can probably be considered to be subtropical near the tropics. Although it is winter, the vegetation does not turn completely yellow. It is as if there is a large invisible hand, using yellow and green to make a huge painting of the earth.
Perhaps it was the national nature of another world, and Lu Wu's first feeling when he saw this grassland was that it could be opened up into a large area of farmland.
Of course, there is no farmland here. Not only is there no farmland, but there are no roads. However, the latter is normal, and the world has a gift of "gravity-defying ore" (officially known as the Resonance Stone), which led them to point out the "train" technology long ago, perhaps before entering the age of thermal weapons. And it's a trackless hovering train that is countless times more exaggerated than on Earth.
In short, although the real details behind it are not known, the world has indeed accomplished something that is almost contradictory: industrializing while preserving a near-intact natural environment.
Lu Wu sat in the car and looked at the scenery outside in an uncomfortable posture. As mentioned earlier, the cars in this world are not fast, but they are stable. Although there are some bumps, it is still within the limits of human beings. At least Lu Wu sat in the car for a long time and didn't feel any signs of churning in his internal organs.
There were a total of eight people in this car, Ah Qi, two warlocks, and five people, including Lu Wu.
Lu Wu was actually very curious about the two warlocks, these were the first two warlocks (except for amber) that Lu Wu had seen since he came to this world. One of the two warlocks is called White Ash and the other is called Baldhead. Anyone can understand that these two men are not talking by their real names, but by something similar to a nickname. The origin of the name "bald head" does not need to be elaborated, but it is only a significant physiological trait. And the name "white ash" may come from his hair - this man has black hair, but there is a small pinch of white hair, which is very obvious.
Bai Ash looked less than thirty years old, even if he was a little older than Lu Wu, he was very limited. And the bald head looks forty years old. White ash is the typical East-West mestizo appearance, while bald head is a completely European characteristic. As far as their appearance is concerned, they don't see any difference from ordinary people, at most they just have a cold expression, and they don't like to deal with people very much. It feels like it's a bit far from the master's perception that he is "the most terrible pirate in the Aether Sea" or something.
It can be clearly felt that among the two warlocks, the bald head is the leader. When something goes wrong, Bai Ash is always the one who comes forward to speak, but every time he encounters a relatively big decision-making problem, he will take the initiative to ask the bald head for advice, and will do it according to the bald head's opinion.
They were riding in an eight-wheeled off-road vehicle - an open-top armored vehicle that resembled Earth, but with a thin wagon. The seats on the car are clearly classified. A driver, flanked by Aqi as the leader, and then behind her are two warlocks. Of course, the seats of the two warlocks were a bit wide enough to accommodate a third person, but the others felt that it was better for the others to squeeze a little more than to make the two warlocks sit uncomfortable.
That is, in addition to Lu Wu, there are four more people. Well, this is a good thing, at least when you play "Mr. Nan Guo", you won't be exposed for a while.
Maybe the warlocks got off to a bad start, except for Lu Wu, who stupidly reported his real name, everyone else played a little trick in this regard. The one on Lu Wu's left is called Xiaoxiao - this is a tall middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, with a serious expression on his face as if he was going to a funeral, from the first time Lu Wu saw him, there has never been a smile on his face. The one on Lu Wu's right is called the box, and I can't see what connection he has with a real box at all, if you have to say it, he has a square face. The other two are the same, one of them claims to be called Thirteen, perhaps he just chooses a random number as his temporary name, not knowing that this number is a symbol of bad luck on earth. The last one is the one who drives, and he simply calls himself "the driver".
The five people are obviously divided into two groups in terms of age, the driver is similar to Xiaoxiao, both are middle-aged people in their thirties and forties, and the others are similar to Lu Wu, both are in their twenties. However, although Lu Wu was very confident in his memory, he didn't remember that he had ever seen the faces of Thirteen, the Box and the Driver. On the contrary, Xiaoxiao had a slight impression that he should have seen it at those trainings and conferences.
In addition to the eight passengers, the convertible carried a number of other supplies, including an exoskeleton armor. But I didn't bring this thing for combat. In fact, at first, Lu Wu thought that they would all wear a set of exoskeleton armor (which was a normal guess considering the promised reward for Aqi), but now he understood that this idea was wrong.
Although exoskeleton armor is a very powerful combat equipment, its reliability is far less than that of a car. It has so many joints that it wears out far more than a wheel. Therefore, despite its advantages, exoskeleton armor is by no means a good choice for long distances in the absence of maintenance. Under normal circumstances, a pair of exoskeleton armor needs to be serviced and maintained every ten or so days, and it would be embarrassing if it was not maintained. When the machinery fails, or what kind of failure (for example, a joint strikes directly, if the energy system fails, it is likely to cook the driver inside) is completely resigned. Please note that this is normal and full capacity is calculated separately.
And this journey, according to their original plan, would take fifteen days each way, and the return journey, fighting, or something else would be counted.
On the contrary, the car is much less demanding in this regard. As mentioned earlier, this world has very developed energy storage technology that far exceeds that of the earth, so it is not a problem for the car to be able to drive for a month without logistics at all. The car is equipped with exoskeleton armor, just in case.
"There's someone up ahead. The box with the sharpest eyes screamed.
The driver slowed down, and several people soon saw another car in front of them, or rather, several cars. A bunch of people are busy over there.
Originally, Lu Wu thought that they might be the only group to advance towards enemy-occupied territory. But unexpectedly, they are not unique. Along the way, this is the fifth or sixth group of people that Lu Wu has seen.
The car stopped at a safe distance, and Ah Qi made a gesture, so Xiaoxiao and Lu Wu got out of the car and walked towards those people.
These people are doing one simple thing: car repair. A car full of tools and smelling of steel and lubricating oil was parked on the side, while a group of people were surrounding another car, which had been dismantled and scattered with a large number of parts scattered around before Lu Wu arrived. Although people were busy repairing the car that had obviously broken down, it was not the expression of "in big trouble", but full of joy of harvest.
A little observation reveals the truth: the dismantled car was abandoned here, and the purpose of these people was to fix it and bring it back.
And the groups of people Lu Wu saw along the way were like this - they came to look for the supplies that were forced to abandon when fleeing, and these vehicles that broke down and were forced to abandon by their owners were the best of them. Take it back after repairing it. I have to say it's quite a clever thing to do. These cars are already ownerless, and they are also waste when they are repaired and brought back.
"Good day," said with a smile. "It seems that you have gained a lot. ”
"Good day," one of the scavengers, who looked like the leader, stood up, and they recognized the costumes on Lu Wuhe Xiaoxiao, so they looked a little afraid. In the refugee camp, many soldiers have lost their glory and become dangerous bandits. "Excellencies, you ......"
"We were just passing through. Said with a smile. “…… However, it is too close to the danger zone, and I have heard that there are soldiers from Kecha Goyat here. Those are alien monsters, very dangerous. ”
"No problem, the Supreme Lord will protect us. The scavenger proudly gestured to the ornament hanging from his body. "He will protect his followers under the noses of the enemy, and those monsters will not see us. ”
"Did this work? I mean, it really worked?"
"Of course, Your Excellency. The other party replied in a tone of obvious displeasure. "Just yesterday, we encountered three patrolling monsters at once. At that time, we didn't have time to hide for a while, and by the time we noticed them, we couldn't hide. I was about to hit it. So each of us took out the emblem and prayed - and the monsters turned around and left as if they couldn't see us. ”
"Prayer ......" Xiaoxiao took out the emblem of the Supreme Lord from his coat pocket (this thing is now common, and is often given to each other as small gifts). "Just pray to Him and it works?"
Xiaoxiao asked for some more details to make sure that the person was telling a real thing and not a fictional lie. When there was nothing to ask, the two men turned around and went back to their cars.
"How's it going?" asked Aki.
"There's a good chance it's true......" Xiaoxiao frowned. Once by chance, but after three, four, five times, there is no way to explain this kind of thing by chance. "The soldiers of Kecha Goyat really don't seem to attack the believers who carry the emblem. They believe that the Supreme Lord can hide them from their enemies and make them invisible. ”
"Cut. Aqi was visibly disdainful. She didn't believe that. During this time, there were quite a few murders in the camp. Many of the victims have this kind of trinket on their bodies. But this time and again, there is no way to explain the facts. Every group they met today had claimed to have had the experience of encountering the forces of Kecha Goyat in a hurry, only to survive because of the protection of the Supreme Lord.
"Now they're getting bolder," he says. "It is said that people have already been to those abandoned cities and returned safely. ”
This time, due to a military overwhelming defeat, almost all the cities were abandoned, and the inhabitants retreated to the border, forming the current refugee camp. Of course, in these abandoned towns, there will always be some valuable items that have not been transported. There's even a lot of large, expensive equipment -- with patience, you can bring it back little by little by using ants to transport food. It may feel like a hassle, but as long as it's not dangerous, it's much better than staying in a refugee camp and waiting to die.
"Are we going to change our plans?" the driver asked.
"No, the original plan. Aqi said. "We can't attack the patrol force that Kecha Goyat has placed on the front line. They clearly have a tight system and are very vigilant. And we have absolutely no idea if they have the ability to summon reinforcements from their companions in a short period of time. Drive!"
This is the battle plan that Aki once had been maliciously provoked and refuted at the meeting - instead of attacking the enemy's patrols on the front line and fighting the enemy scouts who were full of vigilance and ready to fight, he had to go deep into the depths of the enemy's sphere of influence and seek out the enemy soldiers who were not so vigilant and unguarded.
