Under the Black Mist Chapter 164 Freedom and Survival
Accompanying the Predator is an exotic scabbard that is also made from the bones of some kind of creature and has ancient symbols carved into it.
In addition, there were several rings of gray-white rags, which made the sword look as if it had withstood the infection of time.
He didn't want to turn himself into a walking weapon rack, so Tianyang dismissed his intention to put both the predator and the Akatsuki behind his back.
He tied Akatsuki to his belt, carried the predator alone behind him, and hung the death knell on his left waist, looking in the mirror for a while, Tianyang couldn't help but cover his face with his hands.
It's too ugly, if you add the black thunder in his pocket, and the nightmare mask that can be used as half a weapon.
Now the boy has a heinous amount of equipment, but he doesn't want to leave any of them behind.
When he walked to the hall like this, Han Shu, who had obviously untidied hair today, couldn't help but laugh: "Boy, are you planning to do a weapon display?" Maybe you need to go to the warehouse and exchange it for a multi-purpose Equipment Storage. ”
It's the first time Tianyang has heard of this kind of thing: "Storage box? We still have this stuff in our warehouse? ”
Han Shu touched the stubble that had regrown on his chin: "It seems that you didn't read the list clearly last time, go ahead, by the way, exchange some things you think you need, we will leave the fortress this afternoon." ”
Tianyang immediately left the team building.
The Equipment Organizer resembles a mechanical suitcase, which can be used to unfold multiple layers of weapon racks to store a variety of weapons.
It can be carried behind its back, touching different buttons, and being able to remove weapons from the corresponding shelves. In addition, it can also store some small items like grenades, which is very convenient.
The size of the storage box ranges from three to seven layers, and the colors are red, blue, silver, gray, black, blue, purple, gold, etc.
Considering that he didn't have so many weapons to equip, Tianyang chose a black three-layer storage box, and the reason why he chose black was because this color matched the Nightkin uniform.
After putting the predator and Akatsuki in the storage box, the boy followed the instructions and tried to take out and store the weapon a few times, and then exchanged some functional grenades for satisfaction.
For example, the gravity grenade that killed the deep diver in one shot last time, and the electric shock grenade that can cope with a variety of situations, and now the teenager who has more than 30,000 contribution points in his hand is not distressed at all to exchange these things.
Back in the hall again, this time the boy looked much better. The black, mechanical-style storage box is on its back, and it doesn't look bulky because it only has three layers.
The death knell still hangs from his waist, the grenade or something is thrown in the weapon box, and even the black thunder is put in it, anyway, the weapon box has three layers, so there is no need to use it in vain.
The image looked much simpler than just now, Han Shu nodded, and then continued to try out a shield with an obvious mechanical structure.
Tianyang sighed: "Captain, this is your weapon?" ”
Han Shu bit his cigarette: "Otherwise, you think you have a reward." Captain, I also work hard to fight, okay. ”
In fact, not only did Han Shu get new weapons, but Cangdu and Ji Yu also had new equipment.
Cangdu was given a heavy sword, bronze in color, with gears and some mechanical structures on it. It is said that it was made of thug materials, and the sword is not long, only a little more than a meter, but it looks extremely heavy.
And the locomotive-like exhaust pipe on the sword, I don't know what the specific role is.
Ji Yu has been rewarded with a collapsible ballista that fires Burst Bolts, which have an explosive effect, and Frost Arrows, which have the ability to freeze.
With this crossbow gun of unknown material, Ji Yu's combat power is increased by three points.
After having lunch in the headquarters cafeteria at noon, everyone packed up, took a week's rations and field equipment, and left the inner ring city with two Falcon light chariots transferred from the transit platform.
There is a special route out of the city in the upper town, but you don't have to go through the lower town to get out of the fort, two falcon chariots drive on the ring road, slowly towards the exit of the fort.
In the car, Tianyang found that Yan Bing was also equipped with a new pistol.
"It's called Vortex." Yan Bing said a little proudly, "I also earned a lot of contribution points this time, so I gritted my teeth and exchanged for it." It fires astral bullets that are not as powerful as assaulters, but vortex bullets are capable of creating a small gravitational field. ”
Tianyang said in surprise: "In this case, isn't it possible to involve the surrounding targets and confine them to the center point of the gravitational field?" ”
Yan Bing nodded: "Yes, in that case, you can gather fire to kill the opponent." ”
Tianyang nodded, Yan Bing's gun was quite interesting. The distribution of contribution points to a fort is not based solely on kills.
In a battle, if you have the ability to support your team to victory, you can also get contribution points.
Of course, it hasn't killed many enemies yet. However, an ordinary soldier like Yan Bing, equipped with a weapon like Vortex, can also earn a lot of points just by making contributions to support.
The exit is in sight, and the vehicle slows down.
After presenting the relevant authorization documents at the checkpoint, the city gate opened, and several ironclad guards bid farewell to the raven team with admiring eyes.
The wilderness is dangerous.
Iniquity roams it, so humans need to build fortress cities to fight it. Although there are various settlements in the wilderness, those who do not want to be disciplined for different reasons live in them.
But the gathering place does not guarantee the safety of their lives, and in this world, freedom comes at a price.
In the wilderness of the Bay Area, the air is humid and everything is prosperous.
If there were no gods, it would not be difficult for Tianyang to guess that people would live freely in all corners of the world, just like the former inhabitants of the 27th Adverse Realm.
At that time, the city did not need to be protected by towering walls, self-propelled forts and various fortifications, and the class should not have been as obvious as it is now, and even ordinary people could enjoy the sunshine.
The Raven Squad had a clear goal and drove along the less obvious Bay Highway towards the gathering place where the accident occurred.
Thirty kilometers away, Tianyang saw a gathering place where there were still people.
People built low houses on the ground out of wood or iron sheets. The houses were completely unplanned, one east and one west, so they looked disorganized.
There are no high walls in the gathering place, only a ring of barbed wire, and several wooden buildings five or six meters above the ground, which is the fortification of the gathering place.
As the falcon chariot passed by, Tianyang saw a few children roasting something near the barbed wire, and the wind was blowing from that side, and their innocent laughter could be faintly heard.
The gathering place was soon gone, the kind of place that was not protected by much armed force, and life was far more difficult than the lower town of the fortress.
"Why don't they want to live in the fortress..."Tianyang doesn't understand, is freedom more important than life?
In the face of survival, is it really unacceptable to sacrifice a little nature?
Han Shu opened the window, and with a slight fishy wind in the wild, it unscrupulously blew his already untidy hair: "Not everyone can live in the fortress, you must know that the place of the fortress is limited, and the population base that we can accommodate is actually not large. ”
"It's okay for us to be in Optimus, we only have a history of 100 years, and if we want to continue to grow and develop, we must need labor. That's why every year we recruit people from various gathering places in the wilderness who can join Optimus if they want to. ”
"They were able to get a household registration in the lower city, and although the place to live was not necessarily better than the gathering place, at least they were protected by the fortress."
"But even so, there are still too many people to live in the fort. The wilderness wants true peace unless the gods die. ”
Tianyang looked out the window again, and his eyes no longer had the excitement he had when he left the city: "I heard Lao Xu say that gods and sins were born from other gods. Captain, how did the alien god come about? ”
Han Shu spit out a smoke ring out of the window, and the smoke ring was quickly blown away by the wind: "Lao Xu doesn't know, why do you think I will be clear." I've only heard that the alien gods seem to have something to do with the adversity, but I don't know about the specifics. ”
"By the way, you know a little bit about the gods now, right?"
Tianyang nodded: "I have consulted Lao Xu, and I know that there are several types of gods, as well as two common characteristics. ”
Han Shu smiled and said, "Okay, you kid has done your homework." Categories and traits only give us a better understanding of sin, but in my experience. No matter how much we think we know something, we still have to be in awe. ”
"Only reverence can avoid impulsiveness and mistakes."
Yan Bing, who was driving the chariot in front, suddenly said, "Captain, someone is following us. ”
He tapped one of the radars on the console.
In the radar, there are several flashing points of light behind the vehicle.
Han Shu got into the firing bay of the heavy artillery and looked behind the vehicle, where several modified locomotives raised a large amount of dust and smoke and hung far behind.
Behind one of the locomotives, a black flag with a strange motif that resembles a mouse but has wings.
Han Shu laughed and returned to the carriage: "Don't worry, it's the guys from [Flying Squirrel]." It's an armed group in the wilderness, usually making cameo appearances as gold diggers, and more often than not, engaging in intelligence, guns, and other illegal transactions. ”
"They don't dare to mess around, if they dare to attack us, then these guys can disappear in the Gulf."
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the locomotives to turn a corner, head south, and soon disappear from the radar screen.
More than an hour later, the gathering place where the accident occurred arrived.
The raven squad did not rush directly into the gathering place, and under Han Shu's order, the two chariots stopped in a small forest not far from the gathering place.
The car door opened, and Han Shu jumped down with his mechanical shield on his back, took off the cigarette butt that only had one butt left, threw it on the ground and trampled it with his foot.
The others got out of the car one after another.
Han Shu gestured: "Yan Bing, you guys are watching the car here." Anyone or anything other than us, if they get close, will be killed. ”
Yan Bing nodded, as a non-commissioned officer, he had the authority to command the other soldiers.
So he immediately asked two soldiers to be nearby and set up a cordon.
Han Shu glanced at Tianyang and the others: "Let's go, let's go to the gathering place and have a look." ”
