Volume 1: Destruction and Rebirth Chapter 19: The Ominous One
Han Jianfei didn't remember how he escaped from the campfire to his house, but fortunately, before getting drunk, he made a special explanation to Gen Zhizi not to let those girls "get their way".
It's not that he's unwilling, it's not deliberately hypocritical, he's bound to leave here, and it's likely that he won't come back, so there's no need to leave any unnecessary trouble in Haishan.
By the time he opened his eyes on the floor, it was the dawn of the long night.
He sat up and rubbed his muscles, which were a little sore from lying on the floor.
There are no girls around, and it looks like Gentomoko really fulfilled her promise.
His personal terminal had already been destroyed in the jump, so he had never figured out how the time of the work and rest cycle on the Seamount's side was calculated.
But this does not prevent the inhabitants of seamounts from getting up, working, resting and falling asleep precisely in one cycle after another.
When it started to get noisy outside, although the sky was still dawning, Han Jianfei knew that another cycle of work and rest had arrived.
He walked out of the unusual room, bowed by the river, washed himself briefly, sat down on a rock, and began to look at the slightly whitening skyline to the east of the lake.
Like many cycles of work and rest these days, Genchiko came to him barefoot and quietly: "What are you looking at?" ”
Han Jianfei noticed the girl's arrival at this time, he didn't answer her question, and pouted: "Do you have any contact with those outsiders?" ”
Genchiko followed his gaze, and in the eastern sky, she could vaguely see more than a dozen bright spots lined up, and she knew that they were the iron birds that those outsiders were transporting ore to the sky.
She had heard that in the early days, the inhabitants of the seamount worshipped the outsiders who sat on the iron bird as gods, but the outsiders seemed reluctant to come into contact with them, and over time, after countless misunderstandings, conflicts, and overt or covert contacts, it became clear that those were nothing more than humans from outside the seamount, and that they were essentially indistinguishable from the inhabitants of the seamount.
So people started calling them "outsiders".
In the far away places beyond this mountain, those large tribes with larger territories and people may have deeper contact with outsiders, but the Hedong tribe and the Ebony tribe are only possible to have some private transactions with outsiders by very chance.
That's how Xiao Tanzi's father's quantum watch came about.
"Very little," Genchiko shook her head, "there's a mine on the other side of the mountain, where outsiders mine a pale green stone, but most of the outsiders there are steelmen who never pay attention to us. Occasionally, an outsider like you will quietly exchange some strange gadgets from us. ”
Han Jianfei raised his head sharply and said in surprise: "You said that mining base...... Is that mine far from here? ”
As far as he knows, the pale green ore that Tomoko is talking about is most likely the incurium ore, a very efficient energy storage mixture.
If there was a local ore base nearby, he would be able to quickly determine where he was, and if he was lucky, he might even be able to get on a mining ship.
Genchiko thought for a while and said, "From here, it will take about a long day, but there is no road, you can only climb the mountain, and even the best hunters dare not guarantee that you can get by." ”
Han Jianfei smiled: "The best hunter, was it the kind last night?" ”
Genchiko shook her head, and then asked, "Do you want to go over?" Are you leaving? ”
Han Jianfei looked at this Haishan girl who was about the same age as Zhao Xiaonan, and reached out to touch her pigtails, but felt that it seemed a little ambiguous, so he withdrew his hand curtly: "I...... I want to go over and have a look, but I don't know if I can go or not. ”
Genchiko looked at his withdrawn hand and said, "I said, if you want to leave, take me with you, I want to go out and have a look." ”
As she spoke, she grabbed Han Jianfei's right hand and put it on top of her head.
Han Jianfei sighed, looked at this girl who was not the same as these indigenous people, withdrew his hand and said: "I don't know if I can go yet, going to the mine is just trying my luck, but I promise you, if it is possible, I will definitely take you out to have a look." ”
Genchiko nodded, changed the subject and said, "By the way, you played very well, obviously your strength and speed are not as good as that Chris, why can you beat him so easily?" Is that your martial arts? ”
Han Jianfei said: "In our place, there are many ways to defeat a person, and it does not necessarily have to rely on strong strength. ”
"We'll also use some techniques," Gentomoko said, "like my sword skills, and that Chris's spear fighting skills, but it feels like our martial arts are not the same as yours." ”
Han Jianfei thought for a moment and said: "Maybe it's because we pay more attention to timing and purpose, and you pay more attention to experience and skill - when I was young, I often had to deal with enemies whose strength, speed, and attack range were more than ten or even dozens of times higher than mine, and mastering their attack rhythm and blind spots, and finding the best time, was our goal of paying more attention." ”
Gen Chiko was silent for a while, as if she was recalling the details of Han Jianfei's battle before, and after a while, she spoke: "Can you teach me your kind of martial arts?" ”
Han Jianfei really wanted to say that his combat skills were learned in countless bullets and bullets, between life and death, and even if he had a strong body like a native of Haishan and mountains, even in the face of the most backward gunpowder weapons, he was still vulnerable.
Unless they are coated with armor that ordinary kinetic bullets can't penetrate......
Han Jianfei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to have finally caught the flash of aura that flashed when he saw Zhizi using a knife before.
Because of gravity, Haishan has a tough physique, a strong physique, and some fighting skills.
Except that they have not experienced modern warfare, they are in other ways natural exoskeleton power armored drivers.
No, not the kind of large armor that is more than three meters high, but semi-active armor tailored to their stature.
If you look at the tolerance of the Haishan people to high mobility overloads, this exoskeleton armor can almost achieve an extreme overload of up to 20 G.
If these terrifying super soldiers are trained in depth for space combat......
Han Jianfei thought about it, as if he had seen a scene like an epic in space.
In space, on the planet's surface, these super-soldiers, who can almost ignore ammunition below medium caliber, shuttle between enemy starships and positions at speeds comparable to those of near-ground vehicles, harvesting the lives of one enemy after another with weapons at medium and close range......
Not only that, but when these super soldiers reached a certain scale, he believed that even the kind of terrifying threat he saw in Huangyang Town was not necessarily invincible.
Thinking of this, Han Jianfei couldn't help but glance at Gen Zhizi.
Compact size, well-proportioned muscles, slightly short stature, terrifying strength...... Either way, it's almost as if the creator made it for this super iron warrior.
Thinking of this, Han Jianfei couldn't help but touch the ice iron ring on his hand.
Why was he forced to use its Leap ability, not only was he not killed, but he happened to be snapped to such a planet?
"Yes." Without time to think about it, he replied, "But my ...... Martial arts need to be learned in battle. ”
Genchiko said, "The look in your eyes just now was terrifying. ”
"Really?" Han Jianfei was a little weak-hearted, "I suddenly thought of a possibility just now, which is enough to turn you into an invincible warrior......"
"There's no need to be invincible," Gentomoko shook her head, "Our pursuit of martial arts is continuous progress, and defeating the enemy is just one of the goals. ”
Han Jianfei suddenly felt that he was a little sorry for this simple and smart girl from what he thought just now.
"I'm sorry......" He had long passed the stage where he stopped his plans because he was guilty, and although he said apologies, he was still thinking quickly in his heart about how he could pull this girl and her people onto his thief ship. However, my martial arts are almost always about how to knock down or even kill enemies in the most effortless way. ”
Genchiko thought for a moment and replied, "I can learn, but I may not use it." ”
"There's a lot of stuff in there, it's hard for me to tell you out of thin air, if you can go to our world, I can let you see more intuitive things - but, you said before, if you want to help me build my physique, strength or something, why don't we start here?"
The barefoot girl stood up and said very dryly, "Okay." ”
Then, she continued, "I'm going to have to give you a workout sooner or later, anyway, or you might not be able to go to the mine at all - come with me." ”
Han Jianfei followed her to the village, most of the villagers had gone out to work, and there were only old people and children in the village at this time, and they walked through Han Jianfei's unusual house, and then through a few rows of spired huts, to a courtyard with a wooden fence.
Han Jianfei vaguely remembered this courtyard, and it seemed that it was here that he and Gen Chiko met for the first time.
Genchiko asked softly outside the courtyard gate, "Old mamma, are you up?" ”
After a long time, there was a sound of the door opening in the courtyard, and the old shaman staggered out with a wooden cane, and when he saw Han Jianfei behind Yuan Zhizi, he said with some dissatisfaction: "Little Zhizi, what are you doing with this ominous person to me?" ”
Gen Zhizi said: "Old mama, you see that he is too thin, I want to help him temper his body, can you help me prepare some potions?" ”
The old shaman said with a calm face: "Little Zhizi, why are you helping this ominous person?" He will bring disaster and death to the Hedong clan, and he should not have been left behind......"
What she said was pure Haishan dialect slang, and Han Jianfei didn't understand a word.
Genchiko glanced back at him and said, "I don't think he looks like it, last time, he also helped us defeat Ebony Criss, on Anrook." ”
The old shaman shook his head: "You can only see the surface, I can see that this person has tens of thousands of lives behind him, and I can also see that he will bring endless death to the Hedong clan......"
Gen Zhizi glanced back at Han Jianfei again.
"What's wrong?" Han Jianfei was puzzled.
"She said you've killed a lot of people, and you're going to kill us."
