Chapter 761: Palm Town

For many days in a row, Lin Zaishan was training Leon. This young man who is only 16 years old (the age before entering this strange space) is already a fifth-level star soul powerhouse, and he can be regarded as a head and face in the post-apocalyptic Australia; But since being swallowed up by this strange space, he has been reduced to an ordinary teenager and has to work hard with his parents from the bottom. Unfortunately, recently the parents were killed again. If it hadn't been for Lin Zaishan, Leon would have died by now.

In order to survive and get revenge, Leon worked extremely hard in training. His basic physical fitness has been rapidly improved, and he has mastered the combat and survival skills taught by Lin Zaishan quite proficiently.

On this day, the two finished eating wild fruits and began to pack their bags. They had already planned to explore the boundaries of the strange space first. The two of them slept in the open for seven days, only to find that they had inexplicably returned to the original point. After summarizing and reflecting, I tried again, and I still returned unconsciously.

Convinced that it is impossible to "go out" of the strange space, the two decide to go in the opposite direction to the "glorious principality" ruled by Duke Frank to visit several old friends of Leon's parents, who may know more about the strange space.

The two of them shuttled through the jungle for another five days, and came to a river, on the opposite bank of which was a vast plain carved out by artificiality. Human structures such as logging camps and hunting lodges can be seen in the distance on the plains.

A few hundred meters away, a wooden bridge crosses the river, on which there is a sentry and more than 20 militants are stationed. Lin Zaishan and Leon didn't have to think much to know that they couldn't cross the bridge in a grand way, and they had to cross the river in other ways.

Leon's first reaction was to swim across the river and was stopped by the cautious Lin Zaishan. The latter was tentative in the shallow waters of the river, and immediately a large number of ferocious aquatic animals rushed up. Under the limitation of the power of space, they also have no abilities, but their extraordinary size and physical ability are retained to a considerable extent, plus they are numerous, and they are fighting in the water - these are enough to crush Lin Zaishan and Leon.

"You can't cross bridges, you can't swim. How do we cross the river? Leon began to use his brain.

"How did you cross this river before?"

"My dad bribed the sentry with a 12-day harvest. But I'm afraid this won't work now, and they'll hunt us down all over the territory. This kind of bridge is definitely a key inventory point. ”

Lin Zaishan looked around and noticed the tall trees and long vines by the river. These are the forms of rampaging intelligent plants in the outside world, but now they are very peaceful.

He walked over and cut down a section of vine, stretching it repeatedly, convinced that it was resilient and resilient.

"Leon, have you ever played with a slingshot?"

"Of course." Leon's IQ is not low, and he immediately realized what Lin Zaishan was going to do, and cheered.

The two found a secluded place, spent half a day, used two trees as supports, used vines as rubber bands, made two large slingshots, and then bent the trees with the help of heavy objects, fully stretched the "rubber bands" of the slingshots, and adjusted the ejection angle.

"Lin, can we take the leap?"

"Don't worry, try it first." Lin Zaishan put a piece of wood about his height and weight into the slingshot, and then cut off the fixture. The log whizzed down to the other side.

Leon cheered and immediately sat down impatiently on the slingshot ejection device.

Lin Zaishan dissuaded: "You have to wait." With the force of the bounce just now, the two of us would be catapulted into the air and then slammed to the hard ground, turning into two balls of meatloaf. ”

"yes, so what to do? Why don't we make another set of parachutes? ”

"Do you still think this is an external world of supernatural abilities? With our empty hands, we can't make a practical parachute at all. ”

Lin Zaishan carefully examined the catapult device and the environment ahead, and suddenly said, "If we adjust the launch angle, our landing point should be in the small forest on the opposite bank." As long as you can grasp the branches and branches in time to cushion before landing, you can make a 'soft landing'. ”

"That's it!" Leon and Lin Zaishan have not known each other for long, but they have great trust in the latter's scientific literacy and numeracy skills.

"Three, two, one, launch!"

The two of them cut through the fixed vines at the same time, and the powerful elastic force of the slingshot easily sent them into the air. Like big birds, the two leaped over the wide river and landed as expected into the grove.

“Yeah！” Leon couldn't hold back his excitement in the air and shouted loudly. But then a dense bush came to his face, cutting through his young face.

"Snap", after a violent close encounter with the trees, Leon fell face down into a puddle of mud. He sat up in embarrassment and saw Lin Zaishan sliding gracefully to the ground holding the trunk of the tree.

"We made it!" León still maintained high morale.

"The next task is to find your parents' old friends. Where are they all? ”

"One of them, Walter, owns a bar in Palm Town called 'Crazy Kangaroos'. Where can we try our luck first. ”

"Is this man reliable?"

"Lin, this is the end of the world, others don't steal your kidney when you sleep in the middle of the night, they are already kind, can you expect them to be honest gentlemen with high morals?"

"I hope this old man Walter doesn't betray us to Duke Frank as soon as we meet."

The two men simply disguised themselves as the most common wilderness hunters among the lower classes of the Principality of Glory. Both of them carried bows and arrows on their backs, machetes at their waists (Lin Zaishan was equipped with his best double knives), carried some animal skins and animal meat, and their faces were dark and rough, and they deliberately made their bodies smell bloody. Even if Leon's parents were to come back to life, they might not be immediately recognized.

The two walked in the wilderness for most of the day, and finally met a group of pedestrians.

It was a team of 10 people walking in the opposite direction to cross the river to the jungle to hunt, and they had noticed Lin Zaishan and Leon from afar, and of course they were dismissive of their equipment and strength, but they were deeply interested in the hides they carried.

The day before yesterday, Lin had to kill a group of bear-like creatures known as the "Australian Koalas" in the Principality of Glory, one of the most ferocious and difficult bush beasts to hunt. Not only are they sturdy, powerful, and sensitive, but they are also able to climb trees and swim, and they are also highly intelligent, and they can restrain humans in all aspects when it comes to surviving in the wild.

The meat of the Australian koala is extremely nutritious, and after eating it, it can help to improve physical fitness quickly, the bones can be used as weapons, which are harder than ordinary metal, and the skin can be used as armor. Koala koala skins are actually a luxury item and are expensive. At the current market price, a single skin is worth half a month's income for an ordinary hunter. And Lin Zaishan alone carried 4 Australian koala skins, and Leon also carried 2, but they were few in number.

The hunting team that came from the opposite side was immediately moved, and several of their main members glanced at each other, and made up their minds on the spot, preparing to raid when Lin Zaishan and Leon were 30 steps closer.

When the distance between the two sides was about 50 paces, Lin Zaishan suddenly pulled Leon sideways into the grass and walked towards a swamp.

Seeing this, the hunting team followed without hesitation. Some members thought that Lin Zaishan and Leon were in a panic, and couldn't help but mock: "No matter how cunning the rabbit is, it can't escape the hunter's palm." Do these two fools think they will be spared by turning into the swamp? They probably didn't know that there was a notorious ghost swamp ahead. ”

Leon reminded Lin Zaishan: "We can't go any deeper, it's a big deal to fight with those villains here." ”

Lin Zaishan smiled slightly, "If it's in the swamp of the real world, of course you can't trespass; But in this strange space, as long as you master the laws of physics, there's nothing to be afraid of in the swamp. ”

As he spoke, he untied the rope made of vines around his waist and tied it to the arrow, and shot the bow at the trunk of a large tree at the edge of the swamp in front of him, and then tried to pull it, and when he was sure that it was very strong, he said to Leon: "If my calculation is correct, we can easily wade through the swamp by pulling this rope." I'll do it first, and you will do it. ”

Like an action stuntman or a large insect that can fly on the water, Lin Zaishan pulled the rope alternately with both hands, stepped on the surface of the swamp with both feet, "rubbed", moved to the distant tree, and stepped on the hard ground.

"Wow!" Leon exclaimed, did as he did, and smoothly crossed the swamp.

The two of them turned around and chased the hunting team into the swamp, only to see that they were all stunned by the scene just now. The leader saw that Lin Zaishan and Leon were about to leave, so he reacted, and released arrows one after another, but they were easily dodged by the two. If they want to continue the pursuit, they will either cross the swamp diagonally like the two of them, or go around a dozen kilometers to hard ground.

A reckless and daring member of the hunting team immediately tried to shoot an arrow to secure the rope, but found that the arrow broke as soon as it was pulled, and there was no way to use it. They didn't dare to continue deep in the swamp, so they could only watch Lin Zaishan and Leon walk away.

After experiencing this incident, Lin Zaishan and the others acted more cautiously and tried to sneak as much as possible, but they really couldn't hide, so they chose to detour. In this way, the vast majority of subsequent wild encounters with strangers were successfully avoided; However, in the afternoon of the next day, they were besieged by a hunting party, and the two were forced to fight back. For Lin Zaishan and Leon, who have no abilities, poor weapons and equipment, and are not outstanding in physical condition at present, long-distance archery is the best means to defend and counterattack. With superb archery skills, he fought against the opponent's 14 gun-wielding people, and finally shot and wounded 6 people, forcing the opponent to retreat.

In the evening, the two arrived at their destination, Palm Town.

Palm Town is a small town with a wooden wall with around 3,000 survivors. It is on the road to the glorious city, the capital of the glorious principality, and the business travel is quite dense and frequent, and the streets are relatively wide and lively.

There are all kinds of people on the streets: small vendors who set up stalls, hunters who sell animal skins and meats, beggars in ragged clothes and maimed animals, mercenaries who are fierce and domineering, heavily armed and uniformed security patrols, religious believers who are dressed simply and neatly and with devout expressions, and women who bare-naked their bodies on street corners to solicit customers.

The buildings and facilities in the town are also varied and varied, such as stone houses, wooden houses, and thatched huts, carrying steam locomotives, horse-drawn carriages, ox carts, and rickshaws, and tools such as automata, axes, and sickles, and weapons such as artillery, rifles, and pistols, as well as bows, crossbows, maces, machetes, and swords.

Lin Zaishan, who has "seen the world", is the first time he has seen this kind of medieval, post-apocalyptic and steampunk style "mash-up" settlement.

Leon had been to Palm Town before, and he knew Lin Zaishan all the way to the "Furious Kangaroo" bar located next to the town center square.

There were two tall gun-wielding guards at the door of the bar, who unceremoniously stopped Lin Zaishan and Leon, "If you want to enter the bar and be happy, you must first pay the entrance fee of 10 yuan brilliant coins!" ”

10 yuan brilliant coin is about the same as the value of an adult rabbit, which is not too expensive, but Lin Zaishan and Leon are both "wild men" and do not carry any fiat currency on them at all. The two of them looked at each other and decided to find a small vendor to dispose of the goods they were carrying.

The skins of the Australian koalas that they brought with them all the way caused a great sensation. This town is also a place where commerce and trade gather, but it is extremely rare to trade 6 cards at a time. According to the current reality, it costs an average of 2.5 hunters to kill an Australian koala hunt, and it can be said that the life of the former is worth more than a person.

After selling the goods, the two immediately had a total of more than 800 yuan of brilliant coins. That's a lot of money.

The two were rushing to the "furious kangaroo" when two scantily clad young women blocked the way.

One of the women grabbed Lin Zaishan and persuaded him while drilling into his arms: "Handsome guy, a man has just made a fortune, how can he not share it with a woman?" ”

Another woman pulled Leon into her arms with her thick arms, and said with a smile: "Little handsome guy, let's go to the back alley to play together, sister, I like you the most tender chicken." ”

"We're not interested." Lin Zaishan calmly refused, and he tried to pull out his arm.

The two women refused to let them go, they looked at each other, suddenly changed their faces, raised their voices and scolded: "You two bastards, how can you be happy and not give money!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, we didn't touch you at all!" Leon hurriedly pleaded.

The woman grabbed Leon's hand and went deep into her clothes, "Do you think everyone is blind?" He said he hadn't touched us. ”

"You ......" Leon is a young hero, but after all, he is still a boy, where can he compete with these women who spend all day on the streets.

At this time, everyone in the street gathered around to see the excitement, and even the patrol in the distance was alarmed and began to move in this direction.
