Chapter 11: Legends
Xie Guoping is a legend in the wasteland world. The reason why it is called a legend is because in this great era, something was done that the whole world can remember, and it cannot be replicated.
In the later stages of the "Wasteland Survival Manual" series, Xie Guoping has always been the chief instructor of Base 01 and the first god-level warrior on the surface of Base 01. led the fighters of the 01 base to kill the zombies of the Great Lake, a giant monster in the lake with a body length of more than 30 meters, and that battle was also Xie Guoping's battle of the gods.
Later, Xie Guoping was awarded the title of general by the 01 base and has always been the number one thug of Marshal Zhang Dingjun, one of the three giants of the 01 base.
Now it seems that although the old man in front of him is also named Xie Guoping, and his strength looks good, compared with the legendary characters ten years later, the gap is too big, causing Chen Xin to be unsure if it is the same Xie Guoping.
Moreover, the legendary Xie Guoping is a military soldier at Base 01, and the Xie Guoping in front of him sounds like just a retired veteran of the Far East City garrison. More importantly, he remembered that the legendary Xie Guoping was not an evolutionary of the spell-like domain, but a powerful skill-type evolutionary of the combat domain.
But even if he wasn't sure that Xie Guoping in front of him was the legendary Xie Guoping of Base 01, Chen Xin's attitude couldn't help but change, and this was also the first well-known big man in the "Wasteland Survival Manual" he encountered.
According to reason, in front of such a suspected legend, Chen Xin's best approach must be to say less and be low-key. But Chen Xin couldn't help it after all, and cautiously opened his mouth to test, "Old Xie, I have always believed that the army is the people's army, and where you want to occupy as a base, it must be the overall situation, and I fully support it!" But! As far as I know, there are quite a few armed men in both places, and although they are not in the weather, there are still quite a few of them...... Are you here to persuade you to surrender on behalf of the military department? ”
Uncle Xie Guoping was still a little entangled with Chen Xin's statement, as if he was satisfied, but also as if he was disgusted by Chen Xin's official statement.
"What's your name? What for? ”
"Chen Xin, engaged in biological research. Call me Xiao Chen. ”
"Those who do research are talents. I'm not sent by the military department to persuade me to surrender, I have nothing to do with them! I'm just here to get to the bottom of it and see how it goes. Xie Guoping pouted and said, "There are many people in the military department who have asked me about moving the base, and I don't want the military department and the people who are sheltering in the military department to take more detours in this already dangerous world." I'm not young anymore, and I'm almost half buried in the ground. It's not a pity to die, you can do as much as you can, and if you can bring some useful news back, that's naturally the best! ”
Chen Xin was silent when he heard this, he could see that what Uncle Xie Guoping said was very sincere, not like he said it to him on purpose, but more like a reason for himself to convince himself to do so, but Chen Xin asked, and Xie Guoping said it in passing.
"Then do you think it would be better for the military headquarters to transfer to the airport?" Chen Xin knew that the military headquarters had moved to the airport in the end, so he asked directly.
The main enemy now is zombies, and the old man is not very wary of Chen Xin, especially in the matter of the relocation of the military headquarters, the power of the individual is too small, even if he knows any inside information, it is useless, at most he hides some materials in advance to take a small advantage, "I don't know." I haven't run to either place yet. Not long after we set off yesterday, we encountered a wave of zombies, with several evolutions inside, and my team was scattered in order to avoid them. Just now, I saw the code left by the team members on the side of the road and found this community. ”
When Chen Xin heard Xie Guoping's words, he suddenly had a bad premonition. He had been in this community for almost half a day, and he didn't feel the existence of any of the team members Xie Guoping said. And Xie Guoping just entered this community, and he and Xie Guoping quickly discovered each other. It stands to reason that Chen Xin's previous actions were not small, if the people of Xie Guoping's team were in this community, it was impossible not to find him and not come out to meet him or something.
So Chen Xin frowned and said, "Old Xie, I've been here for a while, and I haven't seen anyone except you!" ”
Xie Guoping also heard a hint of flavor from Chen Xin's words, and couldn't help but look at Chen Xin again, judging from his experience, Chen Xin didn't lie, so this matter is worth playing.
The team members who were scattered last night were all good players in the military department. Since you can escape to this community, there is no reason why you can't survive a night, and the whole army will be wiped out. Xie Guoping turned his head to Chen Xin and said, "Xiao Chen, don't call me Xie Lao, I'm not qualified to use this title...... Actually, I'm not very old, I haven't reached 60 yet. You can call me Captain Xie, Brother Xie. Since you arrived here, have you visited any other buildings besides this one? ”
Xie Guoping's title in the book for a period of time was also Captain Xie, so Chen Xin naturally accepted the title of Captain Xie, shook his head and said, "Team Xie, I haven't been there yet, but I can be sure that just now I came all the way, except for the garden downstairs, there are a lot of zombie corpses, which are obvious weapon injuries, from the entrance of the community to all the places in this building, there are no traces of people's recent activities." ”
"Got it". Xie Guoping closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said to Chen Xin, "Are you interested in following me to other parts of the community?" A companion, there is also a partner. ”
"Team Xie, I'll be honest, I think this community is a little weird. In another hour, it will be almost dark, and I don't think we should continue to venture in this neighborhood. I'd love to check it out, and I'd recommend waiting until dawn tomorrow. "Having watched countless horror movies, Chen Xin is very resistant to going on adventures when there is no light at night.
"The later you get, the more passive! Maybe it's just a night away, but the sooner the better! Xie Guoping raised his index finger and shook it.
"Old Xie, I understand your feelings, but I don't think there's any point in you going now. If a squad can't handle it, even if you are added alone, how much improvement can it be?! You are also a person who came out of the army, and you should know that the strength of the individual and the strength of the team cannot be compared at all! If you don't show up, it may be a kind of hope for them, and when everyone is surrounded by danger, maybe..."
When Xie Guoping heard what Chen Xin said about personal strength, his face was confused, and before Chen Xin finished speaking, he raised his hand to interrupt him, "Personal strength... Xiao Chen, look good! Then Xie Guoping's hands didn't know how, suddenly there were a few more wire ropes, his fingers were rotating quickly and smartly, and the wire ropes were pulled by Xie Guoping's fingers, shuttling back and forth in the entire living room, slowly forming an encirclement network, surrounding Chen Xin's body.
Chen Xin didn't react at first, and felt that Xie Guoping should not attack himself without agreeing to him to go to the team, but Xie Guoping did make a move, and he didn't dare to put his life in anyone's hands, even the legendary Xie Guoping, who claimed to be "in the name of the people". His eyes widened, and he found that although he could vaguely see the trajectory of the wire rope, his hands and feet could not keep up with the rhythm of the wire rope at all, and he was about to be tied up by the rope, so he silently activated the "Agility Enhancement" ability.
"Agile enhancement" is really a cheating weapon, although it is only 50% strengthened, but with the base weighting, it is actually 1.8 times the speed of normal people.
It may be Chen Xin's illusion, or it may be that his brain has not yet adapted, he feels that the whole world has slowed down, so that he can see the shadow of the rope on Xie Guoping's hand, and now he can see the general trajectory of movement, at least he can predict which direction the steel rope flew from.
"I finally know, Xie Guoping's awakening is not the ability of the spell-like domain at all, but the combat skills are too amazing, looking at it from a distance, those zombies seem to have been killed by spells." Chen Xin scolded in his heart, he originally thought that this Xie Guoping in front of him was just an awakened person in the realm of spells, even if he was close, he would not be scared, anyway, mages are weak chickens in close combat, but he didn't expect that this Xie Guoping is a weak chicken, it is clear that his melee skills are so strong that they look like spells!
However, Chen Xin is now basically sure that this Xie Guoping must be the "legendary Xie Guoping" described in the book, with super combat skills, soldier birth, and the same name, if it weren't for the same person, Chen Xin could eat the wire rope in his hand raw!
Chen Xin, who had activated his ability, could already keep up with the rhythm of the tightrope, but he didn't dare to stay in place for even 1 second, jumping back and forth in the living room that was not particularly spacious. Just stepped on the coffee table, and immediately jumped onto the back of the leather sofa, and then the two ropes had been crossed to the sofa, Chen Xin squatted down, rolled down the back of the sofa, and saw that the backrest surface of the leather sofa had become 3 pieces.
Chen Xin's face changed, the leather sofa is also leather, to some extent, it may be tougher than ordinary human skin, although he has been strengthened and improved his basic quality by about 20%, but he definitely can't withstand a few such ropes.
Hiding behind the sofa, he suddenly saw the remaining two ropes coming down from the direction above his head, and Chen Xin rolled around as a lazy donkey and rolled to the corridor under the stairs.
It's just that when Chen Xin just stood up, he saw that the four ropes were already horizontally at his side, and there was nothing around him, so he couldn't even block it, so he could only subconsciously raise his hands to block his chest, hoping not to tie his head.
Suddenly, with a "Sola" sound, all the ropes were pulled back into Xie Guoping's hands, and the entire living room returned to calm.
If it weren't for the fact that the leather sofa in front of him had been broken, Chen Xin might have really thought that it was just his illusion just now.
Xie Guoping tilted his head slightly, his eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, looking at Chen Xin and saying, "You are not a normal person!" ”
Chen Xin still maintained the embarrassing posture just now, his hands were raised in front of his head, as if he was in a posture of surrender, through the gap between his fingers, he saw Xie Guoping's wrist turn, and the four ropes "Sola" were put into the dagger grip in Xie Guoping's hand, Chen Xin knew that Xie Guoping still didn't mean to hurt himself, otherwise he wouldn't have stopped at the last moment, and he also knew that Xie Guoping saw that he must be an awakened person.
In the old era, there were many talented people, in some fields or in some aspects, they were much better than ordinary people, but no matter how good they were, there was a limit, which was determined by genes, so when Chen Xin showed a level of physical fitness beyond the physical limit of ordinary human beings, people like Xie Guoping who had been in contact with some confidential information could see at a glance the fact that Chen Xin had evolved.
"Heh, I didn't expect to meet an awakened person just after leaving the military department. How many steps has it been? Xie Guoping took the dagger, looked at Chen Xin with a smile and asked.
"It's just awakened, no more than a week." Chen Xin would subconsciously touch the back of his head whenever he was nervous, and said with an embarrassed look.
"Since you are also an Awakened One, you should know that the strength of ordinary people and Awakened is very different. There is no team of the Awakened, and the survivability is not a grade at all. After Xie Guoping knew that Chen Xin was an awakened person, his mood seemed to be much better, and his knife-like face seemed to have softened.
However, Chen Xin didn't seem to agree with Xie Guoping's words, shook his head and said, "Team Xie, don't fool me, it's not that I don't want to help you, if I am already a high-level evolutionary now, I will follow you to turn this community upside down without saying a word." ”
"But just because I'm also an awakened person, I know that I have a few pounds and a few taels, a little faster than before, and a little more strength, but if I don't use a gun, five ordinary people can probably beat me to death!" Chen Xin looked like he knew the market very well, don't fool my expression, and compared the scars on his arms that were scratched by ordinary zombies, indicating that he was not lying.
Xie Guoping swept Chen Xin's arm out of the corner of his eye, and said lightly, "That's because you don't know how to use your body at all." ”
Before the words fell, the dagger that had just disappeared in Xie Guoping's hand appeared in his hand again. Chen Xin saw that he played with a knife flower, and the dagger magically appeared in the other hand, and before Chen Xin could react, he felt a cold light run along his left shoulder.
Chen Xin didn't even have time to activate the "Agility Enhancement", his head was barely turned over, and when his eyes were still on the dagger, he felt that a hard object had been placed on the temple on the other side of his head.
Chen Xin swept the corner of his eyes, and felt that his whole body was about to soften, and the hard object he was carrying was the barrel of the 95 rifle that he was originally carrying on his waist.
"Xie Lao...... No kidding...... It's going to go off......" Chen Xin's speech was already a little knotted, and he now understood the feeling that Hu Ningsheng was talking with a gun on his own at that time, and his breathing involuntarily became a lot faster.
"Don't worry, you haven't even opened the insurance." After speaking, Xie Guoping put away the 95 rifle, but did not return it to Chen Xin.
"Xiao Chen, don't talk about 5 ordinary people, in my opinion, all the people in my team, including a big girl, if one is counted as one, you can't beat any of them!!"
Chen Xin looked at the 95 rifle in Xie Guoping's hand, which originally belonged to him, and said nothing.
"You simply don't understand what it means to raise your physical limit by 20 percent. For those who have truly mastered 100% of their abilities, improving by 1% is a huge leap in strength. ”
Xie Guoping still said lightly, but his hands did not stop, and with a few clicks, the 95 rifle had been dismantled into several sections in his hands.
"Do you know what it is to be 1 meter per second faster than your opponent, 1 minute more endurance than your opponent, and 10 centimeters higher than your opponent in a fight!?"
Speaking of this, Xie Guoping's expression began to become serious, "It's the difference between life and death!" ”
"Of course, these are for people who have completely mastered their bodies." Xie Guoping looked at Chen Xin, a playful smile appeared in the corner of his eyes, "How about it, are you interested in learning how to master your body?" ”
Chen Xin had mixed feelings in his heart, before Xie Guoping attacked him with a rope from a distance, he could still use the ability of "agility enhancement" to struggle a few times, when Xie Guoping switched to the dagger he was best at, Chen Xin found that he could be killed without even having a chance to think, his heart was shocked like never before, the wasteland world is a world that speaks by strength after all.
Although Chen Xin knew that Xie Guoping was a legend and had some guesses and psychological preparations for his strength, he still felt very uncomfortable when he found that he was like a chicken in his hands.
Then he realized that he was taking it for granted, thinking that he would be able to be happy in the world of "Wasteland Survival Handbook" with the "Evolution Elixir", but he didn't expect to be slapped by reality just after he started the journey of the Awakened, and Xie Guoping is not an invincible opponent in the world of wasteland, so as to calculate, as long as he encounters a legendary-level existence at this stage or can become a legend in the future, he can basically use himself as a "chicken" animal experience package for novice village practice.
