Chapter 7: The Old Days
In this world, caution is the norm.
No!
To be precise, it is the consensus of the vast majority of people! It is a cognition that is gradually integrated into the bones!
But no matter what the world is, there will always be a small group of people who are different and unsociable, who adhere to their own views and principles that are contrary to the general trend of the world.
According to Chen Hu's introduction, the leader of the Wolong gathering place is such a minority of alternatives.
From the words shouted by the leader, Wang Hui could judge that Chen Hu should also be one of the few alternatives of this kind.
In Wang Hui's view, being in a dangerous world where you need to constantly struggle desperately to survive, and being able to do your best to help more of your kind, such people are undoubtedly heroes who can successfully continue the race.
Although the leader's voice was extremely loud, and his tone sounded as if he was not so welcoming to Wang Hui's arrival, the city gate still slowly opened.
The thick and wide city gate split in front of him, and two teams of guards in iron armor walked out, holding sharp spears, both young men, looking at Wang Hui with wary eyes.
Wang Hui smiled kindly at them.
"Chen Hu!"
The leader's voice rang out, and he stepped down from the watchtower and out of the ranks of the guards.
The leader was young, like the young men in the guards, only with more confidence in his eyes and a huge long knife at his waist, which looked very intimidating.
He didn't look tall, but rather a little thin, perhaps because he was wearing a black cloak, and from a distance he would have thought that he was a strong man with a large body.
"Why is he wearing a cape?"
Wang Hui was a little puzzled, Chen Hu smiled awkwardly, and said quickly and briefly: "This is the leader's personal preference, it is said that he has read the old chapters in the large gathering place and learned some old customs and habits. ”
The old days are a general term for the world before the disaster.
Wang Hui was a little curious, could it be that before the outbreak of the planetary disaster, human beings liked to wear windbreakers?
It's a unique habit.
"Chen Hu, this is the person you brought back?"
The leader walked in front of everyone and looked at Wang Hui's body: "He doesn't look ugly, the young man is quite peugeot." ”
is not very old, but his tone is old-fashioned.
Wang Hui pondered it carefully, and always felt that the leader's words sounded a little strange.
"Chief, his name is Wang Hui."
Chen Hu laughed, pointed at Wang Hui and introduced: "It's a strengthener, these five mutant wolves were all killed by Wang Hui, and they were killed in one blow!" ”
Hearing Chen Hu's words, the guards' eyes when they looked at Wang Hui changed, full of surprise.
A mutant wolf is almost equivalent to a D-class enhancer, and even stronger because of the beast's fighting instincts.
It can easily kill five mutant wolves, at least it is also the strength of a B-level enhancer!
B-level enhancers, even in White Sea City, will be courteous, and can be regarded as an upper-class person that is difficult for ordinary people to see on weekdays.
"Yes, I like the strong!"
The leader cracked his mouth and smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth, and he stretched out his hand: "Welcome to the Wolong Gathering Place!" ”
"Thank you, Chief."
Wang Hui smiled and stretched out his hand to hold it, it seemed that this leader had a good impression of himself, which also showed that this gathering place actually needed the addition of enhancers.
Even if it is only a short stay, it is a short-term improvement in the strength of the gathering place.
"But the rules still have to be followed."
The leader waved his hand: "Chen Hu, you take him to test." ”
After speaking, the leader left without looking back, like a wind, coming and going in a hurry.
He didn't ask too much about Xiao Lizi's disappearance, the people in the gathering place are used to seeing life and death, no matter who joins the hunting team, they must be mentally prepared to never come back.
Any gathering place has its own hunting party, and the status of the hunting team is also very high, so only the strangers brought back by Chen Hu will be personally received by the leader.
If you change to an ordinary homeless person and request to enter the city, there will be corresponding personnel to arrange and test.
Wang Hui, who has absorbed Xiao Lizi's memory, knows all about these common senses, and of course knows the name of the leader.
But he still asked knowingly, playing the identity of an outsider: "Brother Chen, what is the name of the leader?" ”
"Ahem."
At the mention of this question, Chen Hu coughed unnaturally, and his expression was embarrassed: "Our leader's name is Long Aotian. ”
"Long Aotian!"
Wang Hui paused and exclaimed: "It's really domineering, worthy of the strength of the leader A-level enhancer!" ”
Previously, Chen Hu had told him about the big and small affairs in the gathering place and the strength of the leader, but he had not mentioned the name of the leader, and Wang Hui guessed that this name might represent some special meaning on this planet.
"Domineering ......"
Chen Hu suddenly sighed and lowered his voice: "Actually, the leader was not called Long Aotian before, but it is said that he has stayed in the big gathering place for a few years, and after reading some old chapters, after coming back, his whole personality has become violent, and even his name has changed." ”
Can it be said that people decide to change their names, or even change their personalities...... The chapters of the old days are something with some magical power!
Wang Hui has a strong interest, he likes to collect magical items in different worlds, and most of these items can be extracted and transformed into things beneficial to the Zerg through Zerg technology.
"An old chapter?"
Wang Hui was curious: "Brother Chen, what is this thing that can make the leader change so much?" ”
“emmmm”
Chen Hu groaned slightly, shook his head: "Actually, the old chapters are the words that have only emerged in these years, and they are the inheritance of words from the old world, but due to the severance of the inheritance of the old world, the text chapters of the old world collected later are mixed together. ”
"We, the old people who came from the old world, collectively refer to the part of the old chapters that the leader has read as online literature."
Chen Hu's tone was a little emotional: "It's been more than 20 years, I haven't read an online article, and I miss it very much." ”
"Web text?"
Wang Hui pondered: "This must be a very magical thing. ”
"You are young and don't understand, and you haven't experienced the gorgeous and colorful world that once was."
Chen Hu waved his hand with some interest: "Maybe in a few decades, when the old people are all dead, the memories that once came from the old world will completely dissipate." ”
Chen Hu has no doubt that a hundred years later, someone will see the chapters of the old days, and they may stubbornly believe that there was a group of powerful human ancestors who could do everything in the old world.
Just like the current chief.
Even though Chen Hu had explained countless times, Long Aotian still refused to believe what he said, stubbornly believing that there was a group of omnipotent humans in the old world, and vowed to become such a person.
......
The rest of the Hunting Team has dragged the Mutant Wolf away, and they need to hand over the Mutant Wolf's corpse to the warehouse in the Gathering Area, where they can gain ownership of the two Mutant Wolf corpses as a reward for the Hunting Squad members.
And Chen Hu took Wang Hui alone and went deep into the gathering place.
The entire Wolong gathering place is divided into four major areas, the outer city residential area, the grain reclamation area, the garrison area, and the inner city, of which the inner city and the other three districts are separated by a small wall, and only special personnel in the gathering area can enter.
Chen Hu undoubtedly has such a right, he took Wang Hui all the way into the inner city, which is different from the messy and dirty outer city, the inner city is relatively clean and bright, the ground is paved with gravel paths, and the people who come and go look relatively neatly dressed.
In a wooden house in the inner city, a set of testing facilities from Baihai City is placed, bottles and cans are placed on the table, and a group of men and women in white coats are watching the reagent tubes that are constantly shaking in their hands.
According to Chen Hu, this is the Wolong gathering place is trying to research its own enhancer awakening potion, and many gathering places have research in this area, hoping to master the potion industry chain monopolized by the big gathering places.
"Sit down, roll up your sleeves, and have blood drawn."
"Open your eyes, look at this instrument, and don't blink."
"Eat this, the ghouls hate this grass the most."
The inspection process is a bit cumbersome, but fortunately, the efficiency of these white coats is very high, and all the test items were completed in less than half an hour, most of the items have verified Wang Hui's human identity, and only two or three test items need further experiments.
Wang Hui was not worried at all that this group of people would be able to detect anything from his blood, not only because of the backwardness of medical technology in the post-disaster disaster of this world, but also because his evolutionary level had perfectly integrated the genes of the Zerg and humans.
As long as Wang Hui's [Genetic Mutation and Modification] talent has not completely disappeared, it will be difficult to detect his true identity through scientific and technological means.
Not long after the test was completed, the two had just stepped out of the cabin when they saw a guard standing outside the door and stopped Wang Hui.
"Mr. Wang Hui, the leader wants to see you."
