Volume 2 Looking at the Northeast [65] Grain store practice knife
Xiao Yang smiled and shook another stone: "Do you understand the way by throwing stones?" In case this is the nest of that perverted giant panda, let's run quickly. ”
Nantes smiled: "This should be the temporary residence of Liao Wei and Liu Feifei." ”
"How do you know?"
"Guess."
"Go up and have a look?"
"No, Savage's Cave, what's there to see?"
Xiao Yang stabbed him with his elbow and teased: "I don't think you dare, if you go up and see a nest where the two of you sleep together, you will probably die of sadness!" ”
Nantes got angry: "Get out! You are so gossipy, you can watch it if you want to go up and see it. I'm leaving anyway! ”
Xiao Yang still didn't give up: "Hey, don't, wait for me for a while, I'll go up and take a look......"
The dispute between the last two ended with Nantes turning his head and leaving, and Xiao Yang turned around and left unwillingly. However, he soon became happy again, carrying the "melon chopping" on his shoulder, and throwing another serrated knife to Nantes.
Nantes was very reluctant, but there was really no guy at hand, so he had to take it and hold it in his hand: "What a chicken rib ......"
When they walked back to the ruins, they were tired and thirsty, they had not eaten for a while, they had not even drunk water, and their throats were smoking.
Pushing back into the jeep, Nantes sat in the passenger seat, the kind that couldn't kick it, because he didn't know where to go.
It has been 6 years since the outbreak of the apocalypse, and there is no food to find in the city for a long time, and even if you find a little occasionally, it has expired for a long time and is seriously deteriorated, and there is not even a clean water source.
Xiao Yang had no choice but to regain control of the steering wheel and head towards another human survivor base, where there was food!
There are a total of four human survivor bases around Dashun City, and they have already been to the mining town and the arsenal on the way here, although the dungeon has not been entered, it is somewhat rewarding, and now in order to survive, they can only go to the grain store.
Strangely speaking, the location of the grain store is on a Gu, the so-called Gu, which is a steep mountain with a flat summit around it. This kind of mountain can be found in many parts of the country, and the most famous one is called Meng Lianggu, where an earth-shattering battle once took place.
The valley where the grain store is located also resembles a stout pillar, steep on all sides, but fertile farmland in the middle. In order to free up enough land to grow food, people themselves run to the cliffs to build houses.
Their houses are like wooden planks, where steel beams and pillars are wedged into the rocks, and then steel or wooden planks are laid on the pillars, and then the houses are built.
Even if a mutant climbs up from the cliff, he can't continue to climb up because of the slippery and slippery thick steel plate in the air, and eventually he can only fall to his death.
So over the years, the residents of the grain store have lived very peacefully, like a paradise.
There is only one ladder leading to the outside of the grain store, and some sections of the ladder are almost vertical, relying on well-prepared defense materials such as falling rocks and grease, a child and a half is able to guard the entrance.
When Xiao Yang came to this neighborhood with Nantes, the jeep ran out of gas, so they had to abandon the car and walk. Before leaving, Xiao Yang cut some branches and carefully camouflaged the jeep, which was his heart's meat, and he had to come back to drive it when he got gasoline.
Luckily, they didn't encounter a single mutant after abandoning the car, and soon found a small river. Nantes took a canned box and took some water from the river, Xiao Yang wanted to drink it directly, but he laughed at him, so he had to wait obediently for him to make a fire and boil it to drink.
I don't blame Nantes for being careful, although there is less pollution these years, and the original environment is almost everywhere, but the viruses and bacteria are not the same as before, and it is difficult to ensure that you don't get sick when you drink raw water.
The two of them finally waited until the water boiled, and when they blew the hot air, they poured it into their throats, and they both screamed hotly.
However, after replenishing their water and calories, their spirits were much better, and the next few kilometers were much brisker.
At the foot of the ladder, Nantes was extorted four bullets by a seemingly idle bastard before being released, but he didn't expect that on the more than 400 steps and dozens of meters of ladders behind, several children reached out to ask for tolls.
Xiao Yang impatiently urged in the back, and Nantes had to obediently hand over a few bullets to get permission to pass.
When he climbed to the top of the roof, he was tired and sweaty, and he lay on the ground and couldn't move.
Xiao Yang climbed up from behind, and before he fell, he used "chopping melon" to unzip the Nantes backpack, and dozens of bullets as thick as index fingers rolled out, and onlookers came over to scramble.
Xiao Yang sat up and took a knife to dispel these guys with shining eyes: "Eat, drink, exchange it for ......"
The long knives scared off many people, but there were always a few who dared to take out a little food and exchange it for a bullet.
These things, which were looked down upon by everyone in the arsenal, became hard currency when they arrived at the grain store, and they didn't care whether they had matching weapons or not, they only knew that bullets were money and hard currency.
According to Xiao Yang, the agricultural output of the grain store is enough to feed a town of 100,000 people, and the food of several other human survivor bases around it is "imported" from here.
The town sells food in exchange for corresponding weapons and energy to ensure people's daily life. It's just that since the dungeon was closed, there has been a shortage of electricity here.
The power in the dungeon is not completely cut off, but it is only available for 2 hours in the evening. No one came to explain why, they had gone to the dungeon to inquire, but they couldn't even get through the door.
It wasn't until later, because Liu Dazhi wanted to spread the news that Nanliu was besieged by the army of mutants, and he talked to the outside world once, and everyone knew that there were many accidents in the dungeon.
The dungeon side thinks that the food reserves are sufficient, and there is no need to collect trading materials for the time being, so they give some electricity to the grain store on credit, and wait for the opportunity to collect food later.
Because Liu Dazhi once said that Liu Feifei had died at the hands of mutants, the people in the grain store heard that Nantes was looking for Liu Feifei, and they all thought it was a joke: "People's fathers say that their daughter is dead, what are you looking for?" ”
Nantes didn't have any clues about Liu Feifei, and no one had encountered mutant pandas and red eyes, so he had no direction for a while, so he stayed with Xiao Yang.
An old lady brought the two men back home, who had recovered a little, and she took all the bullets from Nantes and allowed them to stay here for a while, and she took care of the food and shelter, on the condition that Nantes and Xiao Yang did not cause trouble for the inhabitants of the grain store.
Nantes looked at the old man who was walking tremblingly, glanced at Xiao Yang next to him, and saw that he had no other interests, so he followed with peace of mind.
The grain store lives up to its name, and along the way, they found that an ecosystem has been established here, with some people farming, managing greenhouses, some raising pigs, cattle and sheep and other livestock, as well as pheasants and chickens, and some people processing non-staple foods, and the supply of various foods is very sufficient.
During this period, Xiao Yang privately took a grenade and exchanged it for a barrel of rare gasoline, and drove the jeep to the vicinity of the ladder.
Nantes, on the other hand, contacted Xiao Yang day after day to teach him the "light skills", until his pace became a little more proficient and he could complete a complete set, Xiao Yang was willing to teach him a little bit of knife skills.
The so-called knife technique is actually just the technique of holding the knife and the skill of making the knife. Xiao Yang doesn't seem to have much dry goods, and he makes two moves to slash horizontally and obliquely over and over again, both of which are to greet his neck.
Nantes thought that he was deliberately hiding his selfishness and fighting with him, but no matter what kind of yin damage moves he came up with, Xiao Yang really only relied on the cooperation of his steps and subdued him with those two moves.
Nantes threw the bamboo knife she used for practice on the ground, and squatted there alone and sulked.
In terms of strength, his body that has been transformed by Sister Hua already has a deep foundation, and the two of them use the same footwork in terms of skills, the weapons are almost the same bamboo knives, and the moves are only those two times, so it is said that he should not lose to Xiao Yang, but he just can't beat it.
Sometimes Sister Hua would remind Nantes, but Xiao Yang's speed was too fast, every time he could see with his eyes, and his body didn't have time to react.
Xiao Yang's explanation is that there is a problem of aura, Nantes is not confident enough, and he is half a point weaker before he fights, and when the two of them fight, his body is tense, so he can't make any moves he wants, let alone dodge without distraction.
"If you want me to say, you are still timid, there are too few opportunities to fight face-to-face with people, and your heart is not strong enough."
Xiao Yang pointed out Nantes's shortcomings, but Nantes hated others to say that he was timid, and groped for the dreadnought lighter in his pocket, with a sentence on it: "Fear, stop at fearless!" ”
He thought that next time he must be yin and yang, he had to put the knife on his neck and make him kneel down and beg for mercy.
But at this time, some voices came from the end of the ladder, and a 12-person traveling merchant team came, bringing a batch of weapons and equipment, and some farm tools, and they wanted to exchange these materials for food, and then send them to the other two cities.
Nantes looked at the kangaroo sign on their clothes, and immediately put all the blood behind him, and ran over to inquire about it.
Xiao Yang looked at his fart-wrenching back, and his heart warmed: "This kid has an inexplicable sense of closeness to the caravan, which is a good thing." ”
This traveling caravan is a daily trading team composed of porter coolies, although everyone is armed, but the combat effectiveness is very weak, their captain is a professional wounder, what to say and what not to say.
Nantes, a ragged beggar, inquired for a long time, but did not get anything useful, but was very unceremoniously driven aside.
Xiao Yang leaned over and casually said a code, and the captain of the other party immediately replied respectfully. The two immediately became comrades who had nothing to say, and found a corner where no one was there and muttered for a long time, during which Nantes cheekily went over to eavesdrop, and was greeted by the captain and the two of them drove him away.
Xiao Yangle saw that Nantes was deflated, and he didn't say anything about his identity, but after hearing some news, his expression was much more solemn, and then he asked the captain for a piece of paper, and wrote a bunch of code words on it like a ghost drawing, and told him to hand it over to the headquarters post station when he returned, and pass it directly to the commander of Nanliu.
The team stayed in the grain store for half a day, escorted five tons of grain and eight pigs, and left in a truck.
Nantes pulled Xiao Yang's tattered clothes and asked him about the news, but Xiao Yang refused to tell him easily, and he had to wait for him to win the battle before he said, so Nantes had to pick up the bamboo knife again.
In the eyes of outsiders, these two people are neurotic, like dancing gods, dangling around with bamboo knives. At first, some villagers were curious and stopped in a circle to watch, but later found that such a battle was not interesting to watch and dispersed.
The battle between the two people is really not beautiful, because they are too familiar with each other, and neither of them dares to use the knife easily, but they rely on their own judgment to make various postures to move and dodge.
When I saw the last one, I couldn't understand why two people were jumping around each other, and why was the young man suddenly subdued?
These two people ask you to come and go seven or eight times a day, and it quickly makes people lose their freshness.
But since one man squatted next to him and watched seven or eight battles, the audience began to gather around them again.
The man was the idler who blackmailed Nantes with four bullets at the beginning, because he sat up and attracted a dozen and a half boys to gamble with him.
After his observation during this time, Nantes had not won a game, so he offered odds of 10 if Nantes won. There are always a few stupid boys who are willing to be fooled and try to win 10 with one bullet in their hand, so in two days this idler has accumulated a small fortune.
Now that the fight is starting again, the idler shouts and raises the odds to 1 to 30, and still no one wants to bet. Because the half-sized sons who were as idle as him were already so poor that they jingled.
Nantes had just gathered his waist and was ready when he suddenly collapsed, and walked angrily to the idler with a bamboo knife, and kicked over the small board table he had set up.
"Your uncle, it's too much of a bully, I'll bet on myself to win!"
The idler drove him away with a cold face: ", you can't bet!" How many times a day do you two fight, and the devil knows if he will cheat this time? You can't get involved in this, you have to fight him without distraction, it doesn't matter to you whether you win or lose! ”
Nantes took a bamboo knife and wanted to whip him, but was grabbed by Uncle Xiao: "People are right, you have to fight with me without distraction to have a chance to win." ”
Nantes unscrewed her hands and neck and shouted, "Why, why are we being played by this guy as a fighting?" ”
Xiao Yang's burned face twitched: "Who is to blame for your own inability to win......
The two of them were muttering and talking clearly, and the idler took the opportunity to shout louder, attracting a few people who had just returned from the farmland greenhouse. The women were not interested in this, and as soon as they saw their baby and the gambler together, they quickly twisted their ears and slipped the child away.
The rest of the people no one cared about, and there were no bullets in their hands to bet on, so the idlers were bored, and even began to persuade: "I said you two, don't bother with it, sit there and rest, and then you will play when you have bets!" ”
Nantes was annoyed, why did she want to listen to this bastard, she took a step back, and was about to start fighting.
With his action, Xiao Yang also had to make targeted defensive actions, and the two of them returned to the state of stretching their bodies in circles, and they were about to explode.
"What are these two doing?" An uncle came over, he had been going out early and returning late before, and this was the first time he had seen Xiao Yang and Nantes practicing, so he stopped and asked.
"These two are warming up, ready to cripple each other! No one bets, so no one did it! ”
"Betting? Grain or bullets? What are the odds? "Uncle seems to be a little interested.
The idle man listened carefully and heard that it was a business, and hurriedly set the table again: "Hey, uncle, you have a good eye, this young man is now a thirty to one, I have seen it, he has improved significantly, and this one is likely to win." ”
The uncle shook his head: "It's all thirty losses, you are stupid to me, I look at it like I haven't won a lot." I'll buy that grimace ugly bastard to win! ”
"I'm sorry, but I can't take your bet. Either buy a little white face to win, or don't buy it, just these two ways. ”
"Forget it, it's better for me to bet like this, it's better to send you a bullet directly, and it's a personal favor." The uncle shook his head and left.
A little boy didn't seem to be able to stand it, he smirked out a bullet, or the KTM assault rifle matching bullet that Nantes carried over: "Big brother, I'm optimistic about you, I'll buy you to win!" ”
Nantes's heart was moved, after so long, there was finally someone who was optimistic about him, he must win this one, and he couldn't let the child down.
Around the idlers, a group of children are already cheering up, and although they all think that Nantes has little chance of winning, they all want to make the idlers lose money, because each of them has lost all their money.
Nantes and Xiao Yang looked at each other, he was trying to convey a message, let Xiao Yang let him go, as long as he lost, that idle and annoying idler would immediately go bankrupt.
Xiao Yang nodded his head with an undetectable amplitude, Nante was overjoyed, and directly saw the opportunity to pounce.
"Move, move!"
"Who won? Who won? ”
"Wow, the little white face lost again!"
"Damn, is this grandson a fool?"
The commotion soon fell silent, or rather dispersed, and everyone cursed. The little boy who placed the bet squatted on the ground and covered his face and cried very sadly. He cried and shouted, "Liar! I only have this one bullet, and you give me back ......."
Nantes was lying on the ground and was very angry, he obviously greeted Xiao Yang, let him let himself, why did he lose again?
Xiao Yang's ugly face showed white teeth, he was laughing, and he was smiling evilly.
With a shard in his hand, the bamboo knife was inserted into the soil next to Nantes's ear: "Forget it, you are not the material to play with knives." When it comes to real fights, you don't have a chance at all. ”
Nantes got up unconvinced, chased after him angrily, and grabbed his only intact collar: "You care so much about winning and losing? Look at what you hurt, other people's children are sad and die! ”
Xiao Yang pushed him away and carefully arranged his collar: "Of course!" To lose is to die, and to win is to live! Everyone has only one life, and they can never afford to lose! ”
Nantes pointed to the idler and said to Xiao Yang: "Don't you think this person is shameless? Such a loafy and cheating guy should make him bankrupt! ”
The idle man fanned the wind with the placket of his clothes, pointed at Nantes and said, "Hey, what you kid said is wrong, I make money with my ability, what's in your way?" It's because you don't learn well, and you cheat and cheat to lose. I can see it clearly! ”
"You ......"
"What are you, Lao Tzu told you at the beginning, you can't mix this, you have to fight with him without distraction, my wins and losses have nothing to do with you, but your wins and losses have a lot to do with it!"
