Chapter 385: Matryoshka Doll [3]
Speaking of which, it is extremely easy to find the Foundation in this world, not to mention that the human beings on the ground are living in the Middle Ages, but underground, there are still the pinnacle of human technology centuries ago.
Of course, the scale of the project is certainly not comparable to that of the past, and all of these things have been concealed by the Foundation...... After all, if normal people know that the human race still retains the fragments of technology, then the survivors will desperately attach their last hope to the remnants of technological power.
They will rob and resist, after all, no one can understand why the power of technology is only in the hands of the Foundation, they also need more powerful weapons, they need a convenient life, and if it continues, it will be a matter of time before it splits, and the materials will be wasted in just a few years.
It's like throwing a few loaves of bread in the middle of a group of refugees who are dying of starvation, which is not a rescue at all, but only provokes the most hysterical fighting.
Along the way, Lu Yuan and Maori roughly explained the background of this world, and Maori's receptivity was still staggering, he accepted it almost without the slightest surprise, and even praised the Foundation's approach, in his words, 'Although cruel, but reasonable.' ’
According to Maori's reasoning, the two of them moved in the direction of a place where survivors were most likely to gather, and they must have encountered some living corpses in the process, but the dead bodies that no one controlled were basically following their instincts, and they could dodge and dodge, and those they collided with were all temporarily solved by Lu Yuan.
But as they walked, Lu Yuan and Maori seemed to notice that something was wrong.
Because they found that the number of dead bodies on the road was getting smaller and smaller, and they even found scattered piles of corpses.
"We've had people walk this path before." Maori simply came to such a conclusion.
"But why didn't we see any signs of anyone walking by when we came?" Lu Yuan frowned and muttered.
Maori thought for a moment: "These people have been covering their tracks along the way. ”
"Eh, why do you cover up the traces, this group of dead bodies won't look at the footprints to chase people~" Lu Yuan said very puzzled: "But it's good to have someone, at least we can follow and find the gathering place of human beings." ’
Maori didn't speak, just nodded thoughtfully, and walked forward with Lu Yuan,
The road was very quiet, although there was no sign of anyone else walking, but at intervals, you could see the corpses of dead bodies, and even the largest of them was more than 5 meters long.
Lu Yuan and Mao Li's expressions became more and more serious, they were not fools, so they more or less felt that things did not seem to be simple.
Soon, another piece of dead corpse appeared in sight, and unlike before, there were obvious traces of a fight around the corpse.
Maori leaned down and kneading the dirt on the ground with his fingers: "It didn't take long for those people to even have the time to clean up the traces......"
As he spoke, suddenly, Maori's voice stopped abruptly.
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and then, he was surprised to see that there was a dagger hanging in front of Maori's throat, and the person holding the dagger was not very tall, so he was able to completely hide behind Maori and block himself with his body, Lu Yuan could only see the other party wearing a wide robe swaying gently in the wind.
It's a hunter......
This was Lu Yuan's first thought, because apart from the hunters, there should be very few people who could approach so easily, and without making a sound.
"Don't be impulsive! We are alive! Lu Yuan immediately shouted, and put his hands on his chest, indicating that he didn't have any weapons.
However, the man was already hidden under the cloak, and the dagger in his hand was still hanging from Maori's neck, and he had no intention of communicating.
"I don't know who you are, we just got lost, and we didn't mean to follow you after seeing the corpses of the dead body...... Lu Yuan was still explaining.
However, in the next second, Maori's head slammed to the side, bringing his neck close to the crook of the arm of the person behind him.
This is a very terrifying action, because as long as you don't get it right, your throat is likely to be cut by a knife, but on the other hand, if it succeeds, then it is difficult for the other party to threaten the captor with a dagger at the first time due to the joint.
Between the lightning and flint, Maori's body moved, and his elbow quickly and forcefully slammed into the ribs of the person behind him, while the other hand clamped the opponent's arm, and the whole body jerked forward!
The guy in the back was like this, and the whole person was swept into the air.
Speaking of which, Mao Li seems to like the over-the-shoulder fall very much, or it may be that the position of the person behind him is too suitable for over-the-shoulder falling, anyway, Lu Yuan watched the person be swept up by a huge force, boom, and smashed on the ground, coincidentally, there happened to be a raised stone on the ground, so in the roar, there was also a little sound of bones breaking, and it hurt to watch.
This time, if it were an ordinary person, he should be completely incapacitated, but a hunter is a hunter after all, and the ability to tolerate pain trained since he was a child made him not faint, but stood up in an instant, and then dodged to a safe area far away from Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan still raised his hand, and while he sighed at Maoli's combat ability, he didn't forget to say: "Don't be nervous, we have no malicious intentions." ”
The hunter did not speak, but stood still, and the cold light of the dagger could be faintly seen flickering between the gaps in the black robe.
"We're lost, can you please take us to the nearest gathering place? If you don't drop by, it's good to point in the right direction. Lu Yuan was still sparing no effort to say.
But the man still didn't say a word.
"Shhh...... This isn't a dumb thing, is it? Lu Yuan couldn't help muttering in his heart. I just wanted to say something more.
"Whoa!"
He was embarrassed to see that the hunter's body shook and slapped directly on the ground, unconscious.
"Forehead......" Maori was also dumbfounded: "Didn't you say that hunters are not all thieves, and their quality is comparable to that of super special forces?" ”
Lu Yuan also wondered, it stands to reason that even if Maori fell hard this time, it would not make a hunter faint.
He hurried over to the hunter and ripped off his cloak.
It's okay if you don't tear it open, but after pulling it open, Lu Yuan was also stunned...... Because, underneath the robe, was a distinctly immature face, which looked like it was only a teenager at most, and moreover, a girl.
