Volume 1: Destruction and Rebirth Chapter 22 What incantation did you chant?
The people of the Hedong clan do everything they say, so when they decided to go to the mine as soon as possible, Han Jianfei and Gen Zhizi set off on the same day.
In order to climb over that dangerous mountain, Han Jianfei prepared a lot of things in advance, and packed them in a large backpack that he modified himself, and it was not too bloated to carry on his body.
In comparison, Tomoko's things were pitiful, and she barely brought anything with her, except for the short knife that never left her side.
The two walked upstream along the small river at the edge of the village, all the way to the north, at first they passed by a few inhabited villages, the further north they went, the more sparsely populated they became, and when they reached the intersection of the mountain, there were no traces of human activity around.
It wasn't until he entered the depths of the mountain that Han Jianfei knew why Gen Zhizi said that if he didn't strengthen his physique, it would be impossible for him to cross the mountain and go to the mine.
Basically, with Han Jianfei's cognition, this journey can be understood as a person carrying a burden heavier than himself, crossing a mountain range of nearly 300 kilometers in a straight line.
Moreover, the mountain range is home to a variety of deadly beasts.
For such a mountain road, Gen Zhizi is still familiar with the road, but Han Jianfei has not suffered less.
Although there were many battles in the mountains more than ten years ago, most of the battles were carried out in conventional gravity, subgravity and even weightlessness, and this kind of high-intensity mountain maneuver with bare hands in an area at least twice the standard gravity, especially during the maneuver, is also a great challenge for a legendary soldier like him.
But under Gen Chiko's leather whip and stick, the results of two consecutive long days and nights of extreme "exercise" finally came to the fore, and after cooperating with Gen Chiko for the first time to bring down three sneak attack blade-toothed beasts, Han Jianfei really understood how important Gen Chiko's almost barbaric "exercise" method was to survive in this environment.
"So, before you used the method of Haishan to teach me how to exercise my physique, and then it was my turn to teach you how to use our method to fight." Getting up from under the claws of the dead blade-toothed beast, Han Jianfei wiped the blood from his face and said to Gen Chiko with a smile.
Gentomoko withdrew the blood-dripping dagger and put it in its sheath, nodding.
"First, don't fight any enemy head-on, unless you're on the side of the attack."
ββ¦β¦ It's like a blade-toothed beast. Tomoko looked at the corpse of the beast on the ground and said thoughtfully.
"That's right, in our battles, whoever attacks first will have the absolute initiative," Han Jianfei said, "There is a saying that if you find it, you will destroy, and if it is discovered by the other side, it means defeat and death." β
"It sounds like your world should be much more brutal than the seamounts."
"On the contrary," Han Jianfei shook his head, "the people in power over there are very cautious about the decision to start a warβwhere did you just talk about it?" Yes, that's the first point. β
"The second point," he said, climbed a boulder more than a man high, "and once you strike, use as fast as you can to incapacitate the enemy." β
Genchiko jumped lightly and jumped onto the boulder.
"We have a lot of precision and saturation in most of our fights β these two words can be understood like this: precision is to pick the key points, saturation is to hit ten times at once, and in short, to make sure that the opponent is killed at the first shot, or at least there is no room to fight back."
He thought for a moment and patted the pistol hanging from his waist: "This thing that the old patriarch gave me is our weapon, and when we use it to fight, we usually fire at the enemy's chest in quick succession at close range, that's the reason." β
Gentomoko listened carefully to his experience of fighting, and the man in front of him seemed to be a collection of contradictions, he was not strong, but he could easily defeat opponents who were much stronger than him; She may seem weak, but she has a lot of combat experience - at least more than she often fights with wild beasts.
"The third point is to never be superstitious about your own strength, which is the most important prerequisite for surviving in battle, because there will always be an opponent who is stronger and more deadly than you, but that doesn't mean you can't beat him."
Genchiko immediately replied, "I've been thinking about the battle between you and Chris, if it were me, it wouldn't be as easy as you wouldn't be able to hold your bricks." β
"Yes, your martial arts level is very high, and if you fight in the training ground, I am not your opponent no matter what." Han Jianfei continued to climb the steep peak, "But if we are put in such an environment to fight for life and death, even if I am not as familiar with the terrain as you, I have the confidence to kill you here." β
He glanced back at the girl behind him, "Of course, I'm just making an analogy. β
There was a cliff in front of them, not too far, and they could jump over it with a little run.
Han Jianfei came to the edge of the cliff and looked down, at the bottom of the cliff, there was a huge mechanism that looked very ancient, although the surface was covered with dirt and plants, it could still be vaguely seen that it was a huge starship.
"That's the star that the gods rode on when they came to the seamount." Genchiko also walked to the edge of the cliff, saw him in a daze at the ruins below, and said casually.
"A migrant ship." Han Jianfei said, "It is likely that your ancestors crashed when they came here. β
Han Jianfei had a picture in his mind: the ancestors of the indigenous people of Haishan took an immigration ship across the sea of stars to this satellite with primitive life, and when landing, for some reason, the starship crashed on the surface of the satellite, and the survivors started from here to go to all corners of the satellite and establish their own tribes and communities.
Due to the destruction of the starship and the large number of casualties, the immigrants gradually lost the necessary technology in the process of development, and in addition to retaining the original language and script, more and more knowledge and skills declined and disappeared over time, gradually forming the social structure that it is today.
"You mean, we're also from the outside world? Are we outsiders too? β
Han Jianfei glanced at her: "Yes, the god you are talking about may be the ancestor of your clan." β
Genchiko looked down at the starship that was almost invisible: "Do you want to go down and have a look?" β
"In the future," Han Jianfei looked up at the sky, "Thousands of years have passed, and there will be nothing of value in it, if there is still a chance, we will bring some more professional equipment over." β
With that, he took a few steps back, ran some distance, and jumped over the cliff.
Gentomoko didn't seem to run much, and jumped after him with ease.
The two of them climbed through the mountain, and it took a long day to climb the mountain.
Behind the mountain is a plateau, which is not an exaggeration to describe it as a flat river compared to the previous climb, and on Tomoko's animal skin map, after passing through this plateau, there is a valley, and the mine is in the valley.
Compared to the previous mountain road, it took little effort to cross the terrace, and the two soon came to the front of the valley, where they saw a well-groomed and straight runway extending out of the valley.
Yuan Zhizi was just about to lift his feet and step on the runway, but was pulled back by Han Jianfei.
"The mine still has a long way to go inside," Gentomoko said.
"I know," Han Jianfei motioned to her not to worry about it yet. "Stand here and don't move, wait for me to beckon you before you pass."
Gentomoko had been here many times, and although she didn't know why, she nodded.
But Han Jianfei didn't move, and the two waited outside the valley for a while, only to see an air plane slide out of the valley, almost clinging to the top of their heads, leaving the ground and flying towards the sky.
"Alright, let's go."
The planet's gravity is high, and the vertical launch and ladder starports are too expensive to run, so the mining base can only be transported by aerospace planes, or the natives call the Iron Bird.
Genchiko followed: "Are we going to leave with the iron bird just now?" β
"No," Han Jianfei shook his head, "It's an unmanned transport plane, and the life-sustaining system is not considered, if we sit on it, the only possibility is to freeze to death or die of lack of oxygen." β
Although Gentomoko couldn't understand what he was saying, she still understood that that kind of iron bird couldn't sit on people.
"There's a big iron door inside," she continued, "and no one has ever gone in, and the men of steel will kick out those who want to go in." β
"Then let's try it." Han Jianfei sniffed and smelled a smell of lubricating oil.
Unsurprisingly, a security robot quickly stopped in front of the two of them and said in an electronic synthesized voice without any tone: "Warning, you have broken into the forbidden area of Grant Mining Company, please leave immediately, otherwise according to the Constitution of the Alliance, I will take coercive measures against you." β
"I am a citizen of the Alliance, citizen number XTS587......" Han Jianfei quickly reported one of his many false identities, "My friend and I are now in danger, and according to the emergency shelter regulations, we have asked for asylum from Grant Mining." β
The security robot quickly scanned his biometric information and confirmed that he was indeed the Coalition citizen named Ho Youya.
The robot's eyes flickered a few times, and he found the most suitable solution in the emergency plan, and replied in an electronic synthesis voice: "Mr. He, I'm sorry, there is no long-distance instant messaging station in this base, so I can't send your help message, but according to the emergency plan, you can temporarily live in the living area of the base, and we will send your information to the company's headquarters by cargo spaceship together with the next batch of goods." During the emergency evacuation period, please do not enter the work area without permission. β
After the robot finished speaking, he turned away and left no longer bothering the two of them.
"What spell are you chanting?" It wasn't until she swaggered into the gate that claimed to have never been entered that Gentomoko asked.
"A life-saving trick, but it is only useful under certain circumstances, and today just happens to be one," Han Jianfei smiled, "But generally you can only deal with this kind of brainless iron bump, we are lucky, we just happened to encounter such a thing." β
After speaking, he followed the arrow on the ground and walked in the direction of the living area of the mining base.
