Yuan Zhizi didn't feel too long, the transport ship had just crossed the dividing line between day and night and entered the night hemisphere, Han Jianfei came over and patted her on the shoulder: "Get ready, let's go down." ”

Genchiko looked at the dark planet in front of her, remembering the brightly lit scenes she had seen in Fort Augustus and Sillasson, and was in a trance for a while.

At this time, she was wearing a well-fitting fleet flight suit, and finally put a pair of boots on her bare feet, the small pigtails on her head had long been untied, and her long thick hair was tied into a fluffy braid, hanging from her left shoulder to her chest, completely lacking the wildness she had when she left a year ago.

"Okay." She took a deep look at the planet outside the porthole and turned to walk towards the flight deck.

A few minutes later, an aerospace plane shot from the transport ship "Manho" towards the planet Xiazhi, which soon turned into a bright meteor in the atmosphere.

According to the established plan, Wanhu continued to circulate in low-earth orbit.

A little more than an hour later, the aerospace plane landed in Grant Mining's automated mining base.

Because of the overweight, the crew on the transport ship did not land directly, Han Jianfei and Gen Zhizi walked out of the hatch, and a familiar feeling of heavy oppression suddenly fell on the two of them again.

The last time the two left, it was the coldest time of the cold season, and the age of the planet Xia Zhi was shorter than the standard year, and this was the time when the cold season passed and everything sprouted.

Before coming, Han Jianfei asked for the permission of the mining base from Mr. Grant, and Han Jianfei beckoned the handling robot in the base to move the materials in the cargo hold of the aerospace aircraft to the suspension truck, and then drove the car in the direction of Bluewater Town.

When approaching the ruins of the immigrant ship, Han Jianfei deliberately drove the car around in mid-air. It seems to be doing well, and the slightly flat land outside the migrant ship is almost all occupied by white greenhouses, and at this scale, there must have been at least three or four thousand inhabitants in the town.

The two tribes of Hedong and Heitan combined are only three or four hundred, and after fighting with the Iron Seal tribe, the two sides together with the old and weak women and children will not exceed two thousand, and it is impossible for them to suddenly grow to this level in just one year.

The trucks circled several times in mid-air, attracting the attention of the people on the ground, and the women and children who were toiling outside the town screamed and fled to the migrant boats, and when the trucks came to a stop at the entrance to the ruins of the migrant boats, a group of hunters and warriors on war beasts rushed out, armed with spears and bows and arrows, and surrounded the trucks.

Han Jianfei opened the door and jumped out of the truck, seeing the cold expression on Gen Chiko's face.

"Who are you?" One of the warriors at the head took a step forward with the beast in his hand, aiming the tip of his spear at the two of them.

"I don't know him." Facing Han Jianfei's inquiring gaze, Gen Zhizi shook his head.

This group of warriors may be from the Iron Seal Clan, and she doesn't know any of them.

"Outsider, what are you doing here?" The warrior asked again. His war beast snorted and gasped, as if ready to jump on it and fight.

"Tell Modo to come out, and Kuria will do the same." Han Jianfei said.

"He is Han Jianfei of the Hedong clan!" Someone in the crowd finally recognized Han Jianfei.

Maybe it was because she was wearing a fleet flight suit, and it was only then that no one recognized the girl in front of her as their former little patriarch.

"Ah, this is the little patriarch of Yuanxiao!" A hunter lowered his bow and arrows, "How did she become an outsider?" ”

The captain of the warriors bowed his hand when he heard this, and the warriors put away their weapons and stood quietly on either side.

At this time, Modo and Kuria, who heard the news, came with people one after another.

"What's going on, why are there so many people in town all of a sudden?" After a courtesy hug, Han asked.

Curia and Modo looked at each other.

"I'll tell you." Kuria coughed, "In the last cold season, many tribes did not survive. Later, when some tribes heard that we had food here, they moved their tribes to join us, and after you left, we took in many tribes who had come from the other side of the lake, and when many tribes came to this side, there were only a few people left. ”

"That's right, after the cold season, we went out to look for it again, and gathered the small tribes around the big lake." Modo, the chief of the Iron Seal Clan, added.

They said it lightly, Gen Zhizi didn't react, but Han Jianfei understood that whether it was a tribe that migrated from the Ju clan or was gathered by Moduo, those who were able to survive that cold season would probably experience some kind of unspeakable painful experience.

When there is no food, we eat tree bark, grass roots, and leather, but what about these things anymore? The declining population of those tribes may not all have died of cold or starvation!

Human beings have always been tough and cruel animals, which has nothing to do with the degree of scientific and technological development, and whether the inheritance of civilization is broken.

Han Jianfei didn't continue to think about it, he felt that he was not qualified to judge or judge those who survived the cold and hunger.

"You guys seem nervous," he told himself to forget about the subject, "is something wrong?" ”

Curia and Modo looked at each other again.

Han Jianfei looked at these two former rivals, and they seemed to have formed a strange tacit understanding.

"Let's go in and talk." Curia said, making a "please come in" gesture.

Han Jianfei nodded, pointing to the suspension truck behind him: "There are some new fast-growing crop seeds and a starch plastic film pulling machine on the car, you let the Bai Zhi shaman take someone to learn it, and you can master it quickly." ”

A few people walked into the half-buried Bluewater Town, the ruins of this migrant ship have long been cleaned up, and the place where the two tribes once lived in a subdivision has now become a large mixed house by the tribes that have joined later.

Tribal merging, no matter what era in the history of the world, as long as there is a first, there will soon be a second, a third, or even an infinite number of times.

In fact, the plundering of the Iron Seal tribe is just a form of tribal integration, even if there is no Han Jianfei, as long as the number of this tribe continues to grow, they will eventually become a unified tribe that dominates the entire Great Lake, and even become a town of no small scale like now.

This is the prototype of civilization, and Han Jianfei has only accelerated this process.

The group soon made their way to the deepest part of the town, where the migrant ship's former command pod had been cleared and used as a hall for the town's main administrators.

"What the hell is going on?" After closing the hatch, Han Jianfei asked.

Curia didn't answer directly, but pulled out a complex metal structure from the hall.

Han Jianfei glanced at it: "Where did you get this thing?" ”

"Three long days and nights ago, a group of outsiders came here and asked us to sell them 100 young men, who they exchanged for food and metal." "We didn't say yes, we fought, their weapons were so powerful, we killed more than twenty people, we killed one of them, and then the guys ran away, and this thing was taken from the dead man," Kuria said. ”

It is a semi-covered exoskeleton used by logistics workers, miners, and ground crews on starships, helping users to lighten the load and lift heavy loads.

Han Jianfei understands that it is difficult for ordinary people to move freely on the planet Xia Zhi, which is close to twice the gravity, and this exoskeleton device is the best tool to help ordinary people fight against overweight.

"Since then," went on to say Curia, "the men have often come and attacked us, and they have not dared to fight us head-on, but have only secretly resorted to tricks, and after three long days and nights, they have killed many people in the town, and many others have been taken captive. ”

"That's right," Modo nodded, "Once, we sent our best trackers to follow in the footsteps of those men and found their lair, in a valley to the west, and if you don't come back today, we're going to go and save people in this cycle." ”

Han Jianfei stepped forward to take a closer look at the exoskeleton, judging from the component structure and parts, it was obviously a set of equipment that he had saved, but the ergonomic design should be quite ingenious, and it made this pile of tattered things play an incredible load reduction role strangely.

On the largest cylinder of the main support structure of the exoskeleton, a crooked logo is engraved.

Seeing this logo, Han Jianfei smiled.

It was the logo of a pirate named "Flamingo", the name of this pirate sounded okay, but the strength was really worse, and the reason why Han Jianfei knew this logo was because these idiots had "hijacked" the cargo ship disguised during Baishan's mission in the early years.

After more than ten years, these pirates seem to have disappeared a long time ago, but I didn't expect to meet them here again.

"Are those who have been taken captive in danger?" Han Jianfei couldn't laugh or cry.

"Probably not, they seem to have just sent those people to mine in the mountains," said Kuria, "but it would be better for you to come back, otherwise I don't know how many people would die." ”

"If you don't, don't worry." Han Jianfei smiled, "Give me a few days, and then I will save people, and then I will take you to abuse the vegetables." ”

"One more thing, when I come back this time, I may have to take some people out, maybe for a long time, the first batch will bring about fifty people first, but the best hunters. I may well be fighting a very formidable enemy right now, and I need the help of the Seamount Warriors. Han Jianfei continued. Then, I want to build a school here and teach more people how we fight, and before long, we may have a very big battle, and I need a steady stream of more fighters. ”

The leaders of the two clans looked at each other again in tacit understanding.

"There will be no problem with the first hunters," said Kuria, "and the thirty-eight Ebony Hunters who followed you at the time will continue to follow." ”

Unconsciously, there was a faint respect in his tone.

"The Iron Seal Clan will select the best twelve warriors to walk with their ancestors." Modo added.

"That's a promise?" Seeing that the two agreed so quickly, Han Jianfei was stunned.

"The people of Haishan are a bit similar to you Silla Song." Genchiko, who had been silent, said, "If you help us survive the harshest cold season and bring us a stable life, these hunters and warriors will become your most loyal spears and shields." ”

Han Jianfei nodded, no longer dwelling on these questions: "Okay, Kuria, gather the people - Zhizi, you go to the car and bring the Reaper armor, before you go to save people, you have to let the hunters get used to it." ”
