Chapter 259: Survival Maniac

Zhang Cheng spoke highly of Robert, saying that he was a guy with very strong self-control. However, this man has some strange habits, some of which are even a little too paranoid, making people think that he has a mental problem.www.biquge.info

These habits stem from his distrust of society and his surroundings.

"Have you ever heard of survivalists?" Zhang Cheng asked Lin Hong.

"Survivalist?" Lin Hong shook his head.

"The English word for survivalist is survivalism, and there are some people in China who translate it as survivalism. It was only after I got to know Robert that I learned that such people existed. Zhang Cheng said with great interest, "These people are very interesting, and they are preparing for natural disasters all the time." That's what Robert is, you know? Every day he came to practice boxing, he carried a package with him, oh, that's it, next to him, there were a lot of good things in it, all of which were prepared to prevent sudden disasters. ”

When Lin Hong heard this, he saw that there was a small bag on the floor against the wall on Robert's side, which was not big and looked like an ordinary travel bag.

"Just such a small bag, disaster prevention?"

"Hey, don't look at the small bag, although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs! Inside, windproof lighters, first aid kits, special straight knives, guides, medicines, and more are all available! There was even a pistol and a few hundred rounds of ammunition! Zhang Cheng was very unfamiliar with firearms and didn't know what model the pistol was.

Lin Hong couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect Robert to be really professional enough, he didn't expect so many things to be contained in the small backpack, and what is even more rare is that this backpack doesn't look big, with his size, carrying it on his back will not affect his movements at all. It seems that the other party has also fully considered this.

It's just that Lin Hong is a little puzzled, is it really necessary to carry these things with him every day? Everywhere you go, isn't it a bit worrying?

With these questions in mind, Robert himself walked over to them. The latest chapter of the Templar

"Hey, Master Zhang, is this your very powerful junior brother?" Robert's American accent is very pure, without the ambiguity and pitch change of a New York accent.

"Yes, he is, one of the elders of our Xingyi Daoist Pavilion, and he is also my partner."

"Hello, Stone, I'm Robert, I've heard your brother and other students hear your name when I first came here, and they all say you're very good. You're younger than I thought you would. ”

"Hello, Robert. I can see you're pretty good too. I reacted faster than the other students, simply because I practiced longer than theirs. Lin Hong said modestly.

"Your brother says you're about the same as him, and while I'm sure he can't lie, it's a bit hard for me to accept. Through these days of study, I feel that Xingyi Tao has helped me a lot. stone, I want to have a private competition with you to test what I have learned, I wonder if it is convenient for you? ”

Seeing the puzzled look on Lin Hong's face, he hurriedly explained: "I have no malicious intent, I just want to prove whether Chinese kung fu can really break through the limits of the human body as everyone says." This is very important to me! Maybe I was too conservative before, and it's time to embrace something new. ”

"Play with him. Although his fighting experience is very rich, he is only staying in the late stage of Ming Jin, and measured by the level of Xingyi Dao, at most he is only a heaven-level second grade, and he has not yet reached the peak of Ming Jin. Just be careful not to hurt his bones. ”

Zhang Cheng said in Chinese on the side.

He knew that this Robert was a very stubborn person, and if he couldn't see it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe it.

Moreover, this person's identity is also relatively special, because of his good skills, plus rich experience, and wealthy family, so he has a very high prestige in the New York survival freak community.

If he really recognized Xingyi Dao, maybe he could promote Xingyi Dao to the survival freak community. The latest chapter of the Templar

Those people are all people with strong personalities, super perseverance, can endure hardships and have very smart brains, if Xingyi Dao can take root among them, it will be very beneficial to the development of Xingyi Dao.

Lin Hong felt the other party's emotions and nodded in agreement. However, he made his own request: "I'm very interested in your survivalism, I wonder if you can tell me more about it later?" ”

A smile appeared on Robert's serious face: "This is no problem at all!" If you also want to be a survivalist, we are more than welcome, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask me. ”

Although there are many existential freaks in the United States, they are distributed all over the country, which is very rare. Usually they also want to be able to communicate with other people, after all, being a survivalist is a very unusual thing in the eyes of others, and is misunderstood by most people.

Therefore, they often hold meetings in private, exchange ideas, and even trade with each other to get what they need. After all, their respective resources are different, and what they can obtain is also different.

Circles with common hobbies are usually more united and friendly than other circles, and the same is true for survivalists, who help each other and enthusiastically guide newcomers to join, hoping to gain more recognition in society.

Of course, for survivalists, the ultimate goal is their own survival, and if the apocalypse happens, this friendly atmosphere may immediately deteriorate, and each other may become the object of fighting.

Lin Hong's current skills have made great progress compared to before, thanks to the continuous growth of his mental strength.

Hedy Lamarr's meditative magnetic field does have a positive effect on mental power, and Lin Hong obviously feels that his brain is much more empty than before these days, and some subtle changes have begun to occur in him.

Hand-to-hand fighting, Xingyi Quan is one of the best.

The competition between Lin Hong and Robert did not have many wonderful clips, and it ended in less than a minute.

In this case, it is still in the case that Lin Hong deliberately wants to let it. The two of them are not at the same level at all.

Whether it is with ingenuity or hard-hitting, Lin Hong beats Robert.

In his eyes, Robert is just two or three times faster than ordinary people, and then his physical fitness is two or three times stronger than ordinary people.

Although he has a lot of experience in martial arts and can deal with all kinds of attacks properly, in the face of absolute power, these are all local chickens and dogs, and Lin Hong can defeat them with one punch.

Looking at the fist that was stagnant in front of his eyes, and feeling the rapid movement of the opponent's fist and bringing up the fist style that made his skin feel a little tingling, Robert had to admit that this stone was even more powerful than Zhang Chengdu.

In front of this young man, he couldn't even think of being able to defeat the other party.

This shocked him greatly.

Because the willpower of an existential freak is like a steel cast, and it is very strong. Robert didn't think he would give up his will to survive at all.

However, in the face of the opponent's simple punch, he actually made a move that was almost like closing his eyes and waiting for death!

"How long do I practice to get to your current level?" There was a blazing look in Robert's eyes.

"This ...... I can't say for sure. Depending on the situation, maybe five years, maybe ten years, maybe you can't get there in a lifetime. ”

Although Robert's physical fitness and mental awareness are good, Lin Hong still can't answer this question.

Practicing formality requires not only talent, but also understanding. The other party is a foreigner, whether he can understand the essence of Xingyi and practice the spiral internal strength of Xingyi can only depend on himself.

"If you want to practice Xingyi Tao well, I suggest you learn Chinese first."

"Thank you for the suggestion! I'll learn! Robert thanked him solemnly, he didn't think it was strange that he had to learn another foreign language if he wanted to practice a good kung fu, but he really planned to learn Chinese well.

Next, the two of them began to talk about survivalism.

"Robert, can you give me the following origin of survivalism? Its history, why did this kind of thinking arise? Lin Hong asked.

The fastest way to understand a thing is to understand its origin and history, and only in this way can we understand its essence.

The famous German philosopher Hegel famously said that "existence is reasonable", which means that there is no love without a reason, and there is no hate without a reason.

The emergence of a social thing must have its roots.

American survivalists are not alone Robert, but a pervasive phenomenon.

This made Lin Hong a little curious, why did such a group of people appear so insecure about the surrounding environment? Is this really unfounded worry?

"The idea is simple, it's to prepare for a crisis when it's safe to do so, so as not to be caught off guard." Robert explained, "In the same way as Master Zhang's 'fighting awareness', we advocate 'crisis awareness', and we are always vigilant for any danger. ”

Hearing his words, Lin Hong remembered an idiom - be prepared for danger in times of peace.

"The existentialist trend in the United States has been around for a long time. There are reasons for this, such as religious beliefs, government policies, natural disasters, and now the threat of nuclear war. Many literary and film works also appear in various eschatological works, intentionally or unintentionally, which is actually the embodiment of this trend of thought. Robert, a veteran survivalist, knows everything about this.

"The greatest impact on survivalism was the Great Depression of the late twenties and early thirties, when there was a very severe drought, a dark age in the United States, when thousands died of hunger and tens of thousands of people slept on the streets. Since then, people have become more and more aware that a crisis can befall us at any time. Droughts, floods, earthquakes, wars, virus outbreaks, meteorites hitting the Earth! All of this will make it possible to get us from heaven to hell! Hunger, death, and unrest can beclose us at any time! ”
