Chapter 260: Gathering

In the Xingyi Dao Hall, Robert kept asking Lin Hong for tips on practicing Xingyi Dao. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info(《》)

He is very receptive, and when he learns an action, he often draws inferences from it, connects what he has learned before, compares it, analyzes the similarities and differences between these actions, and finds out why he wants to do it.

He thinks very carefully, and after breaking it down in detail, he can often grasp the essence of the action very quickly.

I have to say that this is a natural martial artist.

Even Lin Hong felt that this guy was a little scary.

Moreover, his physical fitness is very good, common exercises have forged a very strong body, and some movements that are very difficult for others, but he can easily complete them.

Of course, through mutual exchanges, Lin Hong also learned a lot from him, especially rich combat experience.

Robert only said that he had served in the army before, but did not elaborate on where he served.

However, Lin Hong is most interested in everything about survivalism.

"Robert, can I take a look at the contents of this bag?" The relationship between the two was already very good, and Lin Hong made a request.

"Of course." Robbie nodded, and took the initiative to take the backpack from the corner.

Open it and take things out one by one.

A straight knife about fifty centimeters long was first taken out, dark black, it looked very full of the same beauty, it was placed in a flat scabbard, from the outside, there was no idea that there was such a sharp weapon inside.

Then, a first aid kit, a lighter, a radio, a flashlight, a rope, a notepad, a map, a compass, chocolates, a Swiss army knife, ......

One by one, they filled the entire floor. 《》

Robert took the things over and over again and explained: "In our circle, there is a concept of EDC, which is EverydayCarry, and these things have to be carried with you every day. Don't underestimate these things, if something happens, it can often save your life! Of course, what everyone brings with them may be different, but a good knife is definitely a must. It has a very big role, not only to protect yourself, but also to do a lot of things with it, such as chopping wood for heating, hunting, etc., ......"

Lin Hong listened attentively, imagining in his mind under what circumstances he needed these things.

Obviously, given the weight and space, these things are not carried around. Everything must have a very important purpose, and meaningless things must have been eliminated by them long ago.

Moreover, he noticed that there was not only one knife in this backpack, but also a dagger and a multi-purpose Swiss Army knife.

Of course, it would be even more perfect if you could have a firearm. But there is one drawback to firearms, and that is bullets. A firearm without bullets is just a useless piece of scrap metal.

In addition to the more common things, Lin Hong also saw several strange metal blocks and metal bars.

"What is this for?" Lin Hong asked, pointing to the metal bars.

"This is a magnesium block and a flotting rod, which is used to make fire, which is very good!" Robert took one of the flotting sticks and magnesium blocks in his hand, shook it, and said, "Although I have brought a windproof lighter, it is not reliable. The most reliable tool for ignition is magnesium blocks. Just cut a little magnesium powder from it with a knife and rub it on the flotting rod to spark. ”

Robert wanted to demonstrate on the spot, but then realized that this was the Xingyi Gym, and the venue was not suitable for demonstrations, and it would be bad if it caused a fire.

"The survival of human beings is inseparable from fire, and you have to remember that fire is the second most important thing in addition to knives, and it must be considered first."

Another very important thing is medicine. (《》)

Drugs that are usually considered very common have become more precious than gold in special periods, such as antibiotics, and once injured, without these drugs, they are very likely to be fatal.

Robert carried all these things for one purpose, and that was to support him until he could return to his home smoothly. Therefore, he didn't bring much food at all, only asked to be able to last for more than ten hours, and the only thing to replenish his energy was chocolate.

In the past few days, Lin Hong and Robert have been together for a very long time.

The two of them each took what they wanted, with Robert wanting to learn the more powerful martial arts of Xingyi Dao, while Lin Hong was very interested in the various survival skills and experiences he had mastered.

During this period, Lin Hong also went to the Internet to collect information about survival freaks.

This gives him a very detailed understanding of the world of survivalists.

The existentialist trend in the United States mainly began in the late twenties and early thirties of the twentieth century, when many people developed the habit of storing canned food in the basement.

Just after the economic crisis, the Second World War ushered in, and the people of all countries were in dire straits, although the war did not reach the United States, but at that time no one knew how the situation would develop, and there were more and more survivalists.

Then came the Cold War, which lasted for more than 40 years, when the nuclear threat hovered over the heads of the American people like a sword of Damocles, and it seemed that a nuclear war could break out at any time. This sense of crisis reached its peak at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

In addition, various disasters continue to appear in religious eschatological propaganda, literary works and film and television works, such as man-made virus outbreaks, meteorite celestial impacts, earthquakes, floods, ...... And so on and so forth.

Under the influence of these factors, survivalism has taken root among the American people.

Survivalists are a very peculiar group with a strong sense of crisis.

Almost every moment is preparing for how to deal with sudden crises, they often do not follow the crowd, have their own views on current affairs, have a cool head and unique opinions.

In order to be safe, survivalists usually live alone away from the crowd, live and exercise themselves and their family and friends in the most strenuous way, store a lot of weapons, ammunition and medical supplies, and dig bunkers for the end of the world.

More extreme, insisting that a world war is about to break out and humanity is going to perish, and are known to be actively preparing for their own survival if the crisis does break out.

Robert, relatively speaking, has a relatively cheerful personality.

He will take the initiative to reach out to some people, but this is all a means to make himself stronger.

Because of this, he knows many other survivalists and has a very high reputation among them, which allows him to organize frequent gatherings of survivalist circles.

These gatherings are usually very private, as they often have small trade fairs in conjunction with them.

The content of the trade fair is mainly based on survival equipment, covering a wide range, from ordinary daily necessities, medicines to all kinds of prohibited weapons that are a headache for the US police and the FBI, as long as you have money, you can get something satisfactory, including heavy weapons such as rocket artillery.

According to Robert, the situation on the Soviet side has been very chaotic in recent months, and the phenomenon of the military secretly selling weapons is very serious, and all kinds of standard weapons are available, and according to unreliable sources, some people are said to be able to get submarines and atomic bombs.

Robert was very concerned about this, spending a lot of time every day reading the public news to try to find some clues, and of course, he also bought news from the black market so that he could be the first to know about the latest developments.

Lin Hong heard him talk about this by chance, and he usually began to pay attention to the news about the Soviet Union.

According to the discussions in various forums, the situation on the Soviet side has indeed been very unstable in recent months, and all kinds of rumors have flooded the Internet, making people panic.

As Lin Hong learns about survivalists and deepens his friendship with Robert, he follows Robert to a local survivalist party in New York.

The reason why he took him there was mainly because Robert felt that Lin Hong was still a child, and he was from China, and there was no direct conflict with his interests, plus the secrecy level of this party was not very high, and it basically belonged to a relatively ordinary survivalist party.

Even though it is just an ordinary gathering, it is not just for anyone to attend, and it must be nominated by a sufficient number of people.

The meeting place is a bar, and these survival freaks have different identities, including students, white-collar workers, farmers, billionaires, old people and women.

However, it was the first time that a person of Lin Hong's age appeared, which aroused everyone's curiosity.

In particular, this person was brought by Robert himself.

"Hey, everyone, be quiet, I'm bringing a new partner today." Robert exclaimed.

After everyone's attention was attracted, he nodded to Lin Hong.

Lin Hong stepped forward and introduced himself: "Hello everyone, my name is Stone, I am from China, and I am very happy to be friends with you!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion from under the bar.

Someone shouted, "Welcome, brat from China!" ”

Some whistled, and most of the others let out loud "oh oh".

Of course, not everyone is so friendly to Lin Hong's arrival.

"Yo, what do I see? A little kid? A loud voice came from across the bar, "Robert, this can't be your bastard, is it?" Ha ha! ”

As soon as his words fell, someone underground suddenly laughed loudly.

Lin Hong's brows couldn't help frowning when he heard this, he looked intently, and saw a bald strong man sitting over there wearing only a vest, his thick arms, which were as thick as Lin Hong's thighs, seemed to contain explosive power. There is a tattoo on the arm, but the lights in the bar are dim, and Lin Hong can't see it very clearly.
