Chapter 35: Implicit Explicitness
The convoy drove through the territory, past rows of dilapidated factories and smoking chimneys, and moments later stopped in front of the only neat manor house surrounded by walls and villas.
The villas in the manor are not small, clean and imposing, and undoubtedly luxurious compared to the low-rise bungalows in the old industrial era style of the territory. In addition to luxury, there were also a number of minions with guns patrolling and guarding the manor, and as soon as the convoy stopped at the gate, Chen Chong saw that people dressed as servants and housekeepers were already waiting respectfully, and when the car stopped, he bowed his head and greeted:
"Welcome back the General!"
At this moment, the sleepy minions in the car had already woken up, and they all looked at this magnificent manor with extremely envious and yearning eyes, and by the car window, Chen Chong's heart moved:
"This is the residence of the Blood General? Such a battle is no different from the Earth Emperor here. ”
The contrast between the blood general's luxurious manor and the entire gathering and dilapidated situation is very stark, the survivors Chen Chong saw along the way into the territory are all yellow and thin, and their clothes are not covered, while the blood general's manor even has servants who are full of energy and neatly dressed, compared to the survival situation of the two, it is simply one heaven and one underground.
While Chen Chong was thinking, General Blood had already jumped out of the car, turned back to Tie Shan and said, "Arrange everything, and then come to see me." ”
"Yes!"
Tie Shan suddenly agreed, then leaned out of the window and shouted to the convoy behind him:
"Go to the basement!"
The vehicle continued to drive, and the figure of the Blood General disappeared from sight, Chen Chong turned his head and thought in his heart:
"Looking at the appearance of the Blood General's territory, the level of development is probably only at the level of the early stage of industrial civilization, but the base where Duris is located has high-tech instruments and standard firearms, does this mean that there are still relatively complete civilization fires in some regions?"
"And the appearance of the white people of Tereth is also contrary to common sense, before the cataclysm, this was the southwest of the Huaguo continent, how did these people get here? Could it be that the cataclysm caused the tectonic plate movement that caused the continents to start merging or some other reason?"
"Digres, they go out once a month to receive supplies, where did he go?"
Thoughts swirled in his mind, and then a wave of frustration came as the convoy stopped in front of a warehouse guarded by many minions, and the minions jumped out of the car in a shout.
Chen Chong also got out of the car, and saw Tie Shan yelling in front of the warehouse: "Fools, a few people will throw these eight mice in the car for me, put them in an iron cage for me, if one of them runs, I will chop off all your limbs!"
"The rest of the people, check the materials on the car with the warehouse management first, and then move them all down and put them in class, and send the list to the general's manor!"
"When carrying supplies, you all know the rules, you don't need me to repeat them, who the doesn't have clean hands and feet......"
Iron Mountain scolded and commanded, and the eight scavengers and a group of minions in the Dawn Gathering Place were dragged down, pushing and shoving, not knowing where they were being taken, and the rest of the minions began to work hard to carry one package after another, including radiant flesh, fur, and all kinds of scrap iron, plants, fruits, and other strange things.
Chen Chong stood calmly in place, with no intention of participating. And Tie Shan walked over after giving the order, looked at Chen Chong with a playful expression, and said:
"Let's go, boy, I'll take you where you need to go!"
Chen Chong could faintly detect the slightest malice in Tie Shan's eyes, sneered in his heart, and asked calmly on the surface:
"Where are we going?"
Tie Shan laughed: "Of course it's to arrange a place for you to live! The general said that he will take care of you, I can't let you sleep on the street, right?"
After saying that, Tie Shan took Chen Chong along the dirty road all the way on, the unpleasant smell wafted in the air, he pointed to a few smoke-emitting factories with chimneys in the distance, and said in his mouth:
"Boy, the general's territory does not raise parasites, everyone has to work for the general and create their own value. Do you have any professional skills? mechanical, engineering, chemical, sewing, planting, anything like that? ”
Chen Chong shook his head, in his previous life, he was engaged in the IT industry, and skills such as code code were undoubtedly a joke in such a wasteland world.
Tie Shan nodded knowingly, and said with contempt: "You should still be a doll at the time of the cataclysm, and you won't have any skills that you can use." I heard from the general that you're still an awakened one?"
Chen Chong nodded, not at all concerned with the contempt in Tie Shan's tone, he glanced at Tie Shan's tower-like body:
"You should also be an Awakened One, I wonder who is stronger between you and Qiao Jun?"
By now, Chen Chong could already faintly feel the difference between the awakened and ordinary people, but this feeling was very vague, and he only had a general feeling when the two people were close. And the Iron Mountain beside him at this moment will bring him a lingering sense of oppression and danger, which fully shows that Iron Mountain must be an awakened person whose life field is much stronger than his.
Tie Shan suddenly laughed: "What is Qiao Jun? I am the most powerful general under the general, and I have already become a high-level awakened person with the help of the general's blood line Gu, the only ability that Qiao Jun can do is to be as slippery as a loach, otherwise I would have died in my hands in that encounter!"
"Oh, worthy of the general's subordinates. ”
Chen Chongpi smiled and complimented, and then asked:
"However, what is the difference between the different levels of the Awakened other than the strength of the life field?
"Boy, you just woke up, you don't know anything, and you came to Lao Tzu to talk to me?"
Tie Shan suddenly glanced at Chen Chong with a sneering look:
"But it's nothing to tell you, it's not a secret. The general still has some expectations for you, let me tell you some common sense, so as not to provoke people who should not be provoked and die on the spot. ”
"The awakening ability you are talking about, not every awakened person has. The ability to awaken is strange, and there are explicit and implicit. Among them, hidden abilities cannot be distinguished by the naked eye, such as enhanced sense of smell, night vision, underwater breathing, and so on. The things I mentioned are more valuable among the implicit abilities, but in fact, most of the implicit abilities are either meaningless, with or without the same. Either the awakened themselves are unable to perceive the stimulus and remain in a state of desolation.
As for the explicit ability, it is an ability that is more suitable for combat than the implicit ability, which is extremely rare, and there is not necessarily one out of ten awakened people, and the ability of the general is an explicit ability. ”
"But the fundamental reason why the awakened are strong is that they can continue to enhance the life field, the strength of the life field is the concentrated embodiment of the vitality, their own potential, physique, etc., it is the root of the awakened person's strength, and the so-called awakening ability is just the appearance, at most it can only be regarded as the icing on the cake.
For most awakened people, strong strength, speed, and reaction are the sharpest weapons, otherwise an ordinary person with good marksmanship can blow your head with a long shot, no matter how rare the ability is, what's the use?"
