Volume 2 Looking to the Northeast [56] Get rid of the shackles of iron sheets
"And then?" Nantes pestle her cheeks, like a child obsessed with stories.
"Then they were surrounded by a large group of mutants halfway through, with heavy casualties, and were forced to send a rescue signal to the surrounding survivor bases." Xiao Yang said it lightly, but Nantes wanted to know more details.
"How many?"
"How much is what?
"Mutants, a big stream of mutants, how many?"
"There are hundreds of thousands, in fact, your father is also stupid, he wants to run and absolutely rush out, but it is difficult to take thirty or forty people to run." Xiao Yang said that at that time, he didn't know what nerves the mutants around Dashun City had, and suddenly there was a collective riot, and hundreds of thousands of people gathered together at every turn.
These hungry creatures are like flies seeing honey when they see fresh flesh.
Nanliu's team was forced to retreat to the county building to resist, and after a day and a night, the mutants suddenly turned around as if they had received some orders.
Nantes said that this is the time for Sister Hua to turn on the positioning settings of the bracelet, and all the mutants have received the bracelet signal and flocked to Dashun Port from everywhere.
I didn't expect that Nanliu had already been relieved of the siege at that time, and that damn Overseer must have something to hide and didn't say, deliberately causing Nantes to run this trip.
"Then tell me about you, Nanliu is gone, what are you still doing in the building?"
"Kill!"
"Murder? You mean people? ”
"Yes, before you, I killed two people who pretended to be you, I told them all, it's annoying." Uncle Xiao said something patiently, there were two groups of people before Nantes, one wave was very single, dressed in tatters like savages, not to say that he was Nantes.
Xiao Yang deceived the truth in three sentences and cut it with a knife.
Later, there was a well-dressed young boy, I don't know how he jumped out, he walked with his toes high, and there were a few followers behind him.
Xiao Yang didn't wait for him to speak, and the ping pong was all cut down.
"Huh?" Nantes soaked in hot water, but the back of her spine was cold: "You're too indiscriminate, aren't you?" ”
"Aha, you're scared, aren't you?" Xiao Yang said proudly: "That boy looks like a gentleman no matter how he looks, even if he is really Nantes, I can't let him go to harm Nanliu and the caravan." ”
It was Zhu Lilin who really saved Nantes, this greedy old man who was afraid of death fled in a plane and left Nantes in danger, which gave Xiao Yang a hint of the idea of taking the school exam, which gave Nantes the opportunity to speak and take out his credit card.
But in the end, it was this bracelet that dispelled doubts.
Xiao Yang didn't know much about the origin of the bracelet, only that it was the target item of Nanliu when he went on his last mission as an agent, and it seemed to have something to do with the outbreak of the apocalyptic virus.
This bracelet was originally given to Lao Ma by Xiao Yang at the risk of death, and Lao Ma put it on for Nantes when he was seriously ill and unconscious, thus relying on the energy of the bracelet to save his life.
Nanliu knew early on that Nantes was absolutely sure that he would survive before the bracelet was secretly exposed, but because the relationship between the occupied area and Easter Island was severed, he didn't know the true situation of Nantes, and only hoped that Lao Ma could teach his children well.
There was a knock on the door, and the two men whispered to each other, interrupted by the soldier delivering the clothes.
Xiao Yang generously put on his dried clothes and sat on the steps to wipe his sword.
After Nantes and the soldiers left, they immediately immersed the bracelet in the pool and felt the water temperature cool down little by little.
As before, the absorption of energy was slow at first, but as time passed, the hot spring pool turned cold and bitter.
Nantes couldn't stand it and jumped out of the pool, Xiao Yang kicked him in again: "Go on, where is this?" ”
"There's no heat to suck in there."
"How can geothermal energy be understood by you and me? It will take a while to recover. Anyway, you're soaking in it, and when the bracelet doesn't shine again, it comes out. “
Nantes looked down at his wrist, the bracelet had been emitting a blue glow, although it was not strong, but it looked as durable as an energy-saving lamp, and he looked crying: "Did I pick it up and throw it into the water?" ”
"No, take it off and you'll lose all your efforts."
The little heat that came out of the pores of the hot springs was absorbed almost instantaneously, and Nantes was so frozen that she had to lie on the edge of the pool, dabbling only her wrists in the water.
During this period, he also discussed with Xiao Yang that there were still several courtyards here, could he take turns to suck them, but Uncle Xiao picked his teeth and said, "Look for it again, and see if there are any valuable things on your body?" ”
Nantes resigned herself to her fate, and just lay there, falling asleep in a daze in the hot and cold water.
I don't know how long it took, a soft shout and a slight vibration of the floor woke him up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Yang wearing only shorts and doing some strange postures, like rehearsing a dance, and like doing a kind of gymnastics, bending his knees for a while, twisting his body and kicking his feet for a while, and there were a few seemingly stiff side flips and traditional martial arts spinners in the middle.
The movements seem to be chaotic, but they seem to be established routines, especially his waist, as if rotating around an axis, obviously the range of movements is huge, half of the room is shrouded in his figure, but his feet have only landed on the floor in 4 places.
Nantes suddenly figured out that this set was not beautiful, nor was it complicated, and it could even be seen as a few movements randomly spliced together by a beginner dancer, which became Xiao Yang's life-saving kung fu.
He didn't bother him, just watched quietly, trying to remember every movement, even the height of each jump and the angle at which his toes fell.
Xiao Yang had already discovered that Nantes was peeking, but he didn't stop, just demonstrated over and over again, until dozens of times later, when he was sweating profusely, he jumped into the pool and splashed cold water on his chest crazily: "Cool!" Comfortable! ”
Nantes turned her head, only to find that the bracelet had lost its light, and had regained its original metallic luster, and the black spar no longer emitted blue light, but was black like an ordinary coal core.
Xiao Yang lay in the water to regain his strength, but he took Nantes to dance the "light gong" he had just done.
For Nantes, every movement in this can be understood, but he can't do it at all, if he separates each movement, and after doing it, his feet fall to the ground and take a breath, he can still make up a three-four point similarity, but casually two movements are connected, and he falls directly to the ground.
"Your kung fu is too anti-physiological, you can't do it at all, you see this knee, this ankle, this waist, one moment it is still to the left, the next moment it is going to twist 270 degrees backwards, I just finished a tiger jump, and it is a backflip followed by a front flip, who can do this?"
Nantes felt that her physical fitness was quite outstanding, but she stumbled and felt that her joints were about to be sprained halfway through.
What frustrated him the most was that when Xiao Yang made movements, his feet barely touched the ground, and he only landed in four places with a few toes, which was also the place he admired and thought was the most essence.
But when it was his turn to do the action, the big feet were trampling on the ground, and there was still a feeling that he couldn't borrow his strength.
"Huh? Didn't I just do it for you more than 30 times? Uncle Xiao felt the water temperature gradually recover, so comfortable that he didn't bother to look at Nantes.
"You're not human......"
"Yes, I'm not human, I'm the devil of hell, the devil who came to clean up your monkey. Enough rest, keep practicing for me! ”
Xiao Yang rested his head on the edge of the pool and closed his eyes to recuperate, and Nantes could only fall on the verge of breaking his bones again and again. It hurt so much that the muscles all over my body ached, and the joints felt like they were going to twist and displace.
He gasped, as tired as if he had just run a marathon, and the soreness was transmitted to every muscle below his waist, forcing him to throw himself into the pool like Xiao Yang, relying on the hot spring water to moisten every hungry muscle fiber.
In fact, the energy of the bracelet has recovered a little bit, and it is basically enough to maintain and repair Nantes's body, but this guy just wants to follow Xiao Yang's example and enjoy the comfort of being in the hot springs.
The heavy rain had already stopped, but Xiao Yang had no intention of leaving, Nantes wanted to leave, and felt sorry that the comfortable time he had been summoned by an alloy armor was too short.
During this period, Nantes seriously asked a question: "What is your intention to strip me of my equipment along the way?" ”
Xiao Yang climbed out of the pool, picked up the war knife standing on the pillar and gestured twice: "You know better than anyone else that your physical fitness far surpasses ordinary people. ”
Nan nodded: "Yes, in our pest squad, I am more flexible than the others, and my hand-to-hand combat ability is also more outstanding, so I often do some work to carry the enemy head-on." ”
Xiao Yang shook his head: "You are going astray, you should follow my current path, go into battle lightly, kill the enemy invisibly, as the so-called thousands of flowers have passed, and not a single leaf will touch you." ”
Nantes looked at him like a fool: "It's the 22nd century now, although our civilization has been destroyed, but it is still improving, you look at the alloy armor, you see there are countless tactical nuclear weapons behind, you haven't seen how our 130 naval guns can shatter tens of thousands of mutants in one minute." No matter how powerful a person is, can he still compete with human killers? ”
Without warning, Xiao Yang put the knife on Nante's neck again: "Do you remember how I subdued you before?" ”
Nantes instinctively wanted to dodge, but her eyes saw it, but her body still couldn't react.
Xiao Yang put away the knife contemptuously, turned his back and said: "Don't forget, no matter how far human science and technology develop, after all, it still has to rely on the flesh to operate and implement, as long as he still has a shoulder and a head, he will be stabbed and stabbed by me." ”
"Whether it's the alloy armor you mentioned, tactical nuclear weapons, warships, aircraft, and artillery, they are all operated by humans, and these people can't hide in metal shells all their lives, hiding in the sky and the sea, they also have families and lives, and there are times when they are stripped naked."
"Humans who depend on foreign objects will always have a vulnerability to survive, and only us, people like me, even if they are stripped naked and take a hot spring, can still dodge attacks from any angle, and can kill anyone who eavesdrops."
Before he could finish speaking, his figure moved sideways, and he jumped out of the courtyard with a knife.
Nantes hurriedly climbed over the low wall, and saw that the soldier who had given him the shirt before was falling to the ground with a frightened face, and his military pants were cut open, revealing the white flesh inside, fortunately, Uncle Xiao did not intend to hurt him, otherwise their family would definitely be dead.
The soldier only promised, and begged for mercy repeatedly: "Don't dare, don't dare anymore." ”
Xiao Yang lifted the knife and turned around before spitting out a sentence: "Get out, change a girl to wait." ”
Nantes looked strange: "Which one is this?" ”
Uncle Xiao hummed a little song and dragged the knife, not at all as cherished as before: "Don't worry, this ghost place is the same as you, superstitious about science, and the degree of dependence on weapons is so high that everyone is about to become insane." They didn't care about what we said, even if I went out to a conference to speak publicly, I guess I would be smashed all over the head by rotten vegetable leaves. ”
"But you're different, you're Nanliu's son, you have to understand this, and adapt and learn new ways of fighting."
"I understand the reason, what does it mean that you want to change a girl to wait? This courtyard is just a pavilion with air on all sides and an unobstructed pool......"
"What do you think, little kid! You won't go out and about? ”
"I, go ......" Nantes scooped up the wine on the table, took a sip of it, and slammed the door.
Away from the courtyard, Nantes wore a shirt and denim slippers, wandering around the cave.
The entire mountain has been hollowed out, and except for the VIP courtyard, there is almost no daylight anywhere else, and it is lit by lights. Signs are written everywhere saying that fireworks are strictly prohibited.
Caves and caves, each with its own field of study and special purpose, some are specialized in making gunpowder, some are specialized in making bullets, and then there are various firearms and heavy artillery.
The place has the highest level of security, and although Nantes is nominally a VIP of honor, it is full of walls inside. At the top of the road was a special equipment workshop, and Nantes finally saw his alloy armor.
The original angry gold paint has been scraped off, revealing the most basic metal material, some researchers are cutting off the corners for inspection, the power drive device has also been disassembled, the battery has been thrown aside, and the old man is just studying the joint transmission device.
There are also several engineers disassembling various combat modules and payload builds of Alloy Armor.
Nantes looked a little distressed, these were assembled by the "manager" after boiling red eyes, and they were violently demolished? He couldn't help but lie on the glass at the door and look closely, but when the old man looked up, he happened to meet his eyes.
Then the old man blew his beard and beckoned the guards to let him in.
Nantes looked at the scene of the violent dismantling of the engineers, with a painful expression, but he didn't expect that there were more shocking words waiting for him.
The old man poked his head and said, "What kind of rotten things are you guys, look at this filler, it will break when you pinch it, it reminds me of the corrugated security door more than a hundred years ago." ”
"Look at this alloy again, it's heavy and hard, and the alloy skeleton inside, the most basic joint transmission is old technology."
"There's no innovation at all, I'm blind enough to accept your. If you go back and talk to your designer, just say that I Ma Struggle said, the alloy armor he built is not bullshit! ”
The old man angrily took out his KTM assault rifle and told Nantes how bad the gun really was, and Nantes hurriedly retired, turning around and running away, to be exact.
It was too devastating, and Nantes had a sense of absurdity that people from the city went to the countryside and were despised by the villagers, because every cave he had just passed by seemed to be able to only process simple equipment, and his alloy armor was a tall thing no matter how it looked, why was it so unbearable in the old man's mouth?
On the way, he asked every guard he saw, "What is the horse struggle for?" ”
Each guard shook his head, not uttering a word, but his expression was full of respect.
Nantes found it boring, the huge belly of the mountain, the roar of the machines and the people coming and going, but he was trapped in a small area with nothing to do.
After thinking about it, let's go back to the courtyard, at least Uncle Xiao can chat, and see if I can ask some old things from his mouth, after all, this guy has worked with Nanliu for many years, and maybe he still has some black material from his father.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the vicinity of the courtyard, he heard the sound of laughter inside, Nantes coughed dissatisfiedly, and the sound inside stopped abruptly.
After a few minutes, a young girl in a gauze skirt walked out with light steps, smiled at Nantes, and then walked away with a twist.
Nantes pushed the door in and found Xiao Yang seriously wiping the knife that he didn't know how many times a day he had to wipe hundreds of times.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Nantes had nothing to say: "No, I didn't bother you, did I?" ”
"What do you think! Is Lao Tzu the kind of person who is disturbed? Xiao Yang put on an uncle's expression again, but his burned face was so scary that Nantes couldn't understand how the young and beautiful girl just now laughed at this face.
As soon as he was in a trance, Xiao Yang saw through his thoughts, but this guy was broad-minded and didn't take it too seriously and said: "I have a hobby in my life, and I love to talk with beautiful girls about drinking and talking about life." Your father can't get used to it, but he has been watching it for more than ten years, and he has watched it with relish every time. ”
"Poof......" Nantes, who had just taken a sip of water, choked, and her brain was full of the shaking of the ground from next door the night before. Xindao turned out that his father had the same experience, and I don't know if he was taken by him.
He felt that there was no need to talk about this topic like this anymore, so he asked about Ma Struggle. Xiao Yang was very familiar with this person, and immediately opened the conversation.
Ma Zhan is nearly seventy years old, originally a retired chief engineer of the arsenal, and after the outbreak of the end times, he became the leader of the arsenal, overseeing the supply of weapons to the human survivor base in the entire northeast.
The old man's pride in his life is precisely the individual exoskeleton technology, and his whole life is playing with technology, but unfortunately after the end of the world, the human order collapsed, and the entire industrial chain was broken.
Therefore, as soon as the old man saw the alloy armor technology developed by the humans on Easter Island, his eyes lit up, and he had to dismantle and study it. "How's it going? Did he give you four words? ”
"What four words?"
"Shit isn't!"
"How do you know?"
"When I asked him to forge this sword, he said the same thing about me."
