Chapter 156: People's hearts are selfish to the Demon Capital
When Xu Changqing put forward his request, he hoped that the doctor could help.
The self-proclaimed doctor Zihao said with an embarrassed face: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't ask for anything, but finding my daughter has become the only motivation for me to live." ”
Xu Changqing naturally understood what it meant.
To put it bluntly, the Doctor doesn't mind dragging anyone into the water for his own sake now. No matter how embarrassed and guilty he is, he still does it, which seems to be his attitude.
"Your own humanity can't stand the test and you choose thick black, but you expect others to be kind and keep their promises. Ever feel like this is an act of irony? ”
The doctor smiled wryly, "Yes, but I don't care anymore." ”
"Well, all I can say is that it's part of human nature." Xu Changqing spread his hands.
He neither agreed nor vetoed.
In fact, he realized that he would inevitably go to war with this sacrificial organization. Just what he did before, most of the other party will not give up.
But that doesn't justify the Doctor's blackmail.
He didn't ask for favors, but he did use the previous help as a stepping stone.
The subtext is: I will save your life, and there should be at least a foundation for trust and cooperation between people, right?
However, then talk about cooperation and remuneration.
Xu Changqing felt that his request was not at the same level as saving the doctor's daughter.
The Doctor is a typical opportunistic asking price, in fact, he knows it himself, and admits it.
This downfall doesn't make it look cute.
What is this? Really villainous?
Xu Changqing will not be angry about it, since he doesn't regard saving people as a great favor, then naturally they are each in their own way, normal social interactions, and there are situations where they can't get along with each other, because this is not forgiving, it is a glass heart.
And without the doctor, he doesn't have to eat hairy pigs.
Refrigeration facilities and military-grade controllable nuclear fusion reactors, if they cannot be digitized for the time being, can also be transferred to Barrel Town to gnaw slowly.
He had 1,700 plus of corpse refining labor just for the sake of the Ripper, and it wasn't for the sake of looking good.
Zihao couldn't find help from Xu Changqing, so he could only turn his hope to mercenary warriors.
The warrior also refused to give his name.
Maybe it's a habit, afraid that his family will be involved, he calls himself AAK, the abbreviation of Alive and Kicking.
From a slang point of view, it can be translated as healthy, lively, or another interpretation, to live well.
Xu Changqing is more inclined to the latter, this is a man with a story, and the sacrifice of his companions is only part of the story.
AAK is strong and calm, not the kind of bad guy who is unprincipled.
He never confided in others what kind of pain he had endured during the whole incident, but patiently analyzed the problem from a professional point of view.
He said to Zihao: "Doctor, we are fighting against a religious organization with supernatural and evil powers, there are people, money, and organizations. The best time has been missed, and I personally feel that the chances of success are very slim, and perhaps you can use your professional abilities to rely on some force to avenge your daughter. ”
"I fled in order not to engage in the research and development of murder weapons, and in the end, I had to rely on jumping into this pit more bottomless to achieve my goal, which is God's greatest irony for me!" Zihao cried and screamed when he heard this.
There is a sympathetic side to his experience, but in the grand context of the war of civilizations, what is the tragedy of him, his family? This means that there are no eggs under the nest, and everyone is more susceptible to the blow of a vicious event, but in different ways.
One of the newly rescued people, named Bai Yanbin, was full of style, looking like the kind of superior and successful person who was used to commanding, and he said angrily: "Go to the magic capital!" It depends on people to do things, and many people are needed to do great things, and they must also be good at patience. ”
"Yes, go to the Demon Capital!" Others mean the same thing.
The experience of the wilderness made them miss the order of civilization represented by the city, no matter how dark it was, there was a minimum scale to follow, and in the wilderness, they were hunted at every turn, and there were even more terrible things than death, they experienced organized cannibalism before they were sacrificed, and the scene was like hell.
However, when you go to the magic capital, you can't just go, even if you don't think about the wounded, you have to think about your own safety.
These people have some understanding of the sinister people in this land, but they still ignore the horror of the environment.
The supernatural cold, the various epidemics that can still survive happily in winter, these are the real killers, and the people who die in this area every year are much higher than the fighting deaths.
Zihao and AAK had been prepared to a certain extent, but their high-value clothes and equipment were stripped of after being captured, and now they are wearing just ordinary clothes, which are not enough to deal with the harsh environment.
And the newly rescued two, after feeling the perversion of today's environment, also chose to listen to the professional Xu Changqing's command.
In fact, they were able to enjoy cutting-edge technology such as ice storage services thirty years ago, and these two were not ordinary people, their personal qualities were not bad, and their IQs were also online, so they quickly understood the situation and put themselves in a correct position.
At first, they thought AAK was a guarantee, but they soon found out that Xu Changqing, who they mistook for Jianghu Lang, was the real survival expert.
So he hugged Xu Changqing's thigh wholeheartedly.
This kind of hug is not to say some sensational flattery, but to Xu Changqing's horse, you can play how you say. It's like a nostril coming out of the air.
Xu Changqing said that if you want to go on the road, you have to solve the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
At present, when we are poor and white, and the environment is extremely unfriendly, only by doing these four things well can we be regarded as having a basic guarantee for survival.
But in Bai Yanbin's opinion, these four things are really difficult.
This is also the reason why they obeyed Xu Changqing, because they found that Xu Changqing could really solve all the problems.
For example, clothing.
XU CHANGQING CAME UP WITH A PECULIAR MATERIAL, RAGS, TREE BARK, ANIMAL SKIN, AS WELL AS GUM AND SEVERAL OTHER AUXILIARY MATERIALS THAT ARE NOT FAMOUS, AND FINALLY MADE A MATERIAL SIMILAR TO HEAVY LEATHER THAT CAN HAVE A THICKNESS OF 1.5CM, AND THE TEMPERATURE INSULATION AND WARMTH EFFECT IS UNEXPECTEDLY GOOD.
The fine fabric of the jacket and the sophisticated cold-proof clothing of the polar suit are all inseparable from the cold erosion of the demon soil, but it can.
In the words of Wei Guangrong, another thawing person, with this material alone, Xu Changqing has the capital to make a fortune in the Demon Land.
With this material, which is called cold-proof skin, the main part of the clothing is solved. The rest is to pick up old clothes to solve the problem.
At the beginning, the demonic forces advanced rapidly, and the human side, which was seriously lacking in intelligence, was knocked out, and lost battles one after another, and the demon land was surrounded on three sides, north, west, and south, and people fled frantically eastward, leaving a lot of legacy for the later scavengers.
As long as you are careful and patient enough, you can always make some gains, especially Xu Changqing always has a way to take people to some dangerous areas to find things.
These places look like they will collapse at any time, or they are poisonous smoke and ghost fog, just looking at it will be very problematic, ordinary waste pickers rarely visit, but Xu Changqing can use light, heat, ventilation and other soil methods to solve or lighten the danger.
Naturally, it is easier to reap the rewards of visiting such a place than going to a place that has been repeatedly sifted by other scavengers.
Food, or diet, Xu Changqing taught several ways to find food from the forest.
Some foods, edible, but not cost-effective compared to the amount of money they get.
Xu Changqing especially emphasized this point, survival is also a kind of business, always losing money, and it is not far from death.
Take the more common mushrooms in the forest as an example, easy to pick and non-toxic, often eaten by wild beasts, broken and live insects, the appearance is very bad, don't dislike it, there are creatures for you to verify whether they are poisonous, a little processing is a good ingredient.
One of the more terrifying reasons for the forests and even villages and towns of the Demon Land is that after the release of the power of filth, the tyrannical spirits have increased, and the scout troops who once thought it was the demons have arrived, which caused a panicked escape, and also led to a mistake in response, they dropped defoliant chemical toxins into the forest, and the towns also used similar methods.
The main reason for this is that ordinary bombing is not very effective, and it is hoped that the toxin will slaughter the enemy.
As a result, the whole environment became more and more unfriendly to humans, and they went to the jungle to pick up waste, and as a result, there were many hunters who were good swimmers and drowned.
Therefore, under the influence of public opinion, the human beings of the demon land are basically choking on food, and they don't dare to ask for survival materials from the jungle, and some people even prefer to freeze rather than make a fire, because there have indeed been cases where someone collects firewood to make a fire, but is poisoned to death by the bonfire.
AAK They all know some things about this, so they know more about Xu Changqing's magic than Bai Yanbin and Wei Guangrong, two guys who have been ignorant and fearless for nearly thirty years.
AAK said to Xu Changqing one day: "You are probably related to the legendary bear tribe, right?" ”
"There's a Xiong?" Xu Changqing became interested.
You must know that in the Chinese legends of the earth, there is a Xiong family who lives in Jishui, which is one of the eight ancient surnames in China, and their other name is Xuanyuan, which is the predecessor of the Han nation.
And in this world, there are bears and regulus, which seem to be separated.
According to the legend of this world, Xuanyuan is a branch that came out of a bear.
To put it bluntly, it is similar to ant nesting, this land can not accommodate more people to eat, so some of it is separated and started anew.
That's how Xuanyuan came, they came down the river, from the Kunlun Mountains in the northwest of the world.
Therefore, in terms of geographical location, most of the bears here are also a branch of the outflow, and the name of the bears is about inheriting the glory of the ancestors and imitating their laws.
In fact, Xu Changqing guessed correctly, according to the rumors said by AAK, the Youxiong clan has indeed restored a more primitive way of living in the settlement, friends come with wine, and enemies come with shotguns.
Bai Yanbin was also amazed when he listened to it, and said: "It's very interesting, but it will definitely not be accepted by most people." People of insight will find that such an institutional system is a playhouse, which looks beautiful in a cruel environment, but in fact, it lacks the ability to survive. ”
This is the saying of those who play politics-rule.
Wei Guangrong, a representative of the merchants, said: "You can try to establish trade, they can be unique, and they must have their own custom products." Such a retro cultural heritage should also be protected. ”
And from the perspective of AAK, who specializes in beating men, he sees that he is capable: "They have unique skills to protect the existence of their own system, and it is said that the magic capital has no way to take it." ”
What about Xu Changqing's angle?
Here's what he said: "Faith sprouts in times of suffering." The light and darkness of the wasteland, they represent the light. If I have the chance, I don't mind helping them out and guiding them on the right track. ”
This really sounded a bit big, but the people present did not refute it on the spot for their own reasons, and slapped Xu Changqing in the face.
What is the right track?
In Xu Changqing's view, a benign, sustainable, neutral, peaceful, and beneficial faith path for everyone is enough.
Didn't he establish a ****-type system in the Cloud City World, and he has a little experience in this regard.
To be honest, now that he thinks about it, the one in Sky City, he feels that it is a little too rigid, and it is easy to make the other systems around him jealous and uncomfortable.
This can also be regarded as a mistake, and it is easy to turn on the road of reckless military force.
On the third day after learning of the existence of the Xiong tribe from the mouth of AAK, the group set out on the road.
Xu Changqing never mentioned the matter of the freezer cabin and the military controllable nuclear power facility, but in fact, not long after they left, the bugs broke through the surface, and the laborers drove out, quickly demolished and moved.
Before Xu Changqing left a certain range, he could still control it remotely, making the corpse refining look smarter.
Among the nine people in the group, the most bad is Yuyu, her trauma is mainly near the crotch, and it will not get better in the short term.
Fortunately, one of the six people is an amateur mechanic, who has a high attainment in mechanical knowledge and a very good hands-on ability, and he used a supermarket shopping cart to transform a semi-recumbent wheelchair that can be dragged and walked.
And even with the installation of a shock absorption system, the bumps and vibrations still make Yuyu very uncomfortable.
But this girl is more sensible, and she endures the pain silently.
In fact, those who can survive in such a world are all those who have water in their eyes, IQ online, and are good at patience.
Such a team naturally can't go fast, and the environment of the Demon Land doesn't allow them to go fast. Especially on a road like this, there is always no shortage of obstacles of one kind or another.
For example, while walking, I saw barricades erected on the road, stacked with vehicles, and played quite artistically, and a double-decker bus with less wheels was simply put into the air as a gatehouse.
Bai Yanbin, Wei Guangrong, and Doctor were a little trembling when they saw the rampant clan and barbarians on the opposite side, plus the shape of killing Matt and the muzzle of the black hole.
Xu Changqing is really not afraid of these weapons, and AAK really has the courage and experience to talk about it.
Eating the bowl of rice of mercenaries, it is rare to deal with this kind of scene, being pointed at gunpoint, there is no reason to talk about it, what else do you have to do, the more cowardice you show, the easier it is to have an accident.
After a few days of getting along, AAK has somewhat figured out Xu Changqing's temperament and characteristics.
He knew that this was a really capable person, and others might not have paid attention to it, but he noticed that most of the meat concocted by Xu Changqing was the meat of birds and beasts, and he also noticed the three-story building that was lifted by the monster.
Although I think it's incredible, excluding all the inaccuracies, the last kind is often the truth, no matter how bizarre it is.
The truth is that the person in front of him has a big fight with the evil monster, and he will defeat it, and their salvation is only his hand.
Comprehensive evaluation, this is a strong man who disagrees with a few words and kills all the light.
AAK feels that such a person is not suitable for negotiation, too hard!
This kind of hardness is not reflected in the content of the conversation, but in the mental outlook, confidence, very piercing, will make sensitive people feel insulted: come to the uncle's one-third of an acre, and still feel arrogant, beating you is a dragon arrogant! Then most of them knelt down, causing a big event, and the blood of the snake washed by the strong dragon flowed like a river......
It doesn't matter if the strong dragon is strong, but the shrimp, shrimp, crab and crab that follow him are easily affected!
So AAK took the initiative to propose, "Why don't I come?" ”
Xu Changqing doesn't care, although AAK killed the thief of the former Gu Zihao's family, Xu Changqing felt that it was not his fault that the main thing was that it was the force that claimed to be the Holy Insect Sect that relied on its own force and looked too ugly.
Such despicable means, unscrupulous, and unscrupulous to dig up the graves of households can exist in this troubled era, and if the general environment improves slightly, they will be disgusted by the public and will never recover.
What about this in front of you?
To be honest, Xu Changqing didn't care very much, so he opened the film directly and killed the matter.
He now has a bit of a demonic path when he walks the rivers and lakes.
He felt that in a wasteland where there were basically no absolutely innocent people, there was nothing wrong with such an attitude towards life.
"After passing through this gate, there is our camp, where there are all kinds of fun and trade, but you have to be inspected, and we will charge a fee."
Surprisingly, a gang of hip-hop savages killed Matt not by a violent levy, but by a playground system.
It's a young man who speaks, and he looks like a leader, I don't know why, maybe it's those dozen or so lip rings and nose rings and earrings? It doesn't hurt to wear so much, not to mention, don't you feel heavy and cumbersome when you usually fall so many heavy objects? What this person can endure can be regarded as ability.
AAK asked calmly and respectfully, "Excuse me, are you rock gangs?" ”
"Of course we are." The young man replied with his chin held proud.
The Rock Gang, the Swing Gang, the difference between the words and the reputation is very different, the latter is a drug addict, and the former is a bit of a comic trait, but relatively speaking, it's okay.
AAK showed a modest exclamation: "Tsk! I didn't expect your happy camp to open here. ”
The young man had an expression that you continued to praise me fiercely, and snorted in his nose: "What is this?" Sooner or later, our field will open all over the demonic land. ”
"Domineering, good ideal." AAK felt like throwing up when he said this, but he said it anyway......
The end result of the negotiation was that nine people paid for a delicious stick.
This delicious bar is specially made, with meat and mushrooms, wrapped in gauze and cooked, and then heavily pressed to remove the water, and the final product is a mixture of meat and tendons, which can be fried and grilled or eaten directly, leaving a fragrant taste and warming the limbs.
After Xiao Young tasted a piece, he admitted that it was a good thing, and he was not so greedy that the lion opened his mouth to ask for it, but he also did not kindly let go of the opportunity to get it, threatening Xu Changqing that they would at least consume more than half of it in the camp, otherwise something bad would probably happen after leaving.
Xu Changqing didn't care at all, how bad could it be to kill us all and make it into fragrant meat?
His five senses are much better than ordinary people, and it is here that he can already smell the unique smell of fragrant meat......
