One hundred and thirty-two, intelligence
Returning to the wasteland alone again, Winder's heart was painful and happy.
In the ancient martial arts world before, after a series of bargaining, Wen De finally reached an agreement with Shou'an Hou Huo Wengui.
Wen De was responsible for helping Huo Wengui, or the Zhenxi Route Army of the Han Dynasty, train two songs, that is, a 1,000-strong field nurse unit.
In exchange, Huo Wengui had to help Wende recruit some people.
In terms of Shou Anhou's status, it was not difficult to do this, but Wende's requirements were really harsh.
In terms of "women who know martial arts", there are a lot of people on the rivers and lakes, but there are not many who have no backing. Add to that "obedience", "your life may be in danger", "you may not be able to see your family for the rest of your life", and so on......
Huo Wengui once thought that Wende was going to raise the dead, or had some shady habits.
It made Wende cry and laugh, but he didn't swear to the sky, so he asked Huo Wengui to put his doubts into his stomach.
He eventually promised Winder that he could provide some men, but not too many, five or six at most. Because of the conditions, there are not many sources that can be used at the same time. And the most reliable of them is to recruit from the shadows, that is, the place where Chu Yunxiu once fell.
However, the dark department is theoretically directly under the imperial court, so even if Huo Wengui wants to start, he still has to make arrangements.
Winder wasn't in a hurry for a while, he wanted to use these manpower in the wasteland world. Because of the bad things he had encountered before, Wende had the intention of transforming this world...... But how to implement it, he still has to make a plan first.
Huo Wengui's preparations, whether it is the preparation of the nurse song in advance, or the manpower required by Wende, will take some time to complete.
Winder embarks on another trip to the wasteland.
The only thing that accompanied him was the small motorcycle of the sand falcon, and when Wende went to the ancient martial arts world before, he was detained in a room in the base for safety.
Although there is no need for food and clothing, the place is not particularly large, so this little thing is stuffy. At this time, it is not easy to come out, and you can focus on the joy.
Wende didn't care about it, just went on his journey.
After more than two months of trekking, Wende has already walked out of the desert and the Gobi, and the surrounding environment is no longer desolate, it is more green, and occasionally you can see some artificial plants.
There were fewer people scavenging for a living, and instead there were more caravans.
They numbered as little as three or five people, and at most there were hundreds, and the poor relied on eleven roads or cattle and horses to carry goods, and those in good conditions had a certain number of vehicles.
They transport and sell a wide variety of goods, all kinds of goods, food, guns and ammunition obtained from scavenging, and occasionally some of them are quite technological.
For example, Wende had a tube of therapeutic needles on hand, which he had obtained from a merchant before. It resembles a small, pocket-sized pistol, which is injected intramuscularly to stop bleeding and greatly promote wound healing.
Wende has done experiments, if it is just a traumatic injury, no matter how deep the wound is, it can heal quickly with one needle without hurting the muscles and bones.
It can be said that it is a little wonderful, but the fly in the ointment is that in the medicine used in this treatment needle, Wende still senses the faint force.
Therefore, before the sequelae were not clear about the principle, he did not dare to rashly expand the scope of application, although he left two for Chu Yunxiu and logged into the system's item exchange list, but he specially advised: It is best not to use it lightly until the moment of crisis.
The caravan is also the least aggressive group of people Winder encounters in the wasteland, only about half as likely to be. And it's very interesting, the larger they are, the more formal the caravan, and the more polite they are to pedestrians and buyers like Wende.
The reason is unknown, as far as Wende privately guesses, the larger the caravan, the more fixed the route, so he cares more about word of mouth. And, as Wende continues to advance, he is getting closer and closer to the gathering point of civilization is also a reason.
Anyway, when he returns this time, he can finally meet some people who can communicate rationally, instead of fighting and killing at every turn like before.
This made Wende feel a lot of relief, the only fly in the ointment is that there is no shortage of people who are concerned about its wealth in relatively prosperous areas.
Corresponding to the caravan, there were obviously a lot more robbers on the road.
Most of them mainly looted goods, but there were also slave traders who were more unceremonious.
Above the wasteland, human life itself is of little value. For example, scavengers, they are precarious, they have no future at all, no one cares about life or death, and not many people remember, just like rats in the gutter.
But talents are quite rare, handsome, literate and mathematical, and have a skill, even if it is only better than others...... They are all very sought-after, the price is expensive, and the market business is naturally born.
Well......
Winder was able to know this only because he had been robbed by a group of slave traders.
There were nine of them, in three carts, and they were a big gang as the slave leader said.
It's a pity that it's still poor, and although they have two car guns, they usually don't want to use them - they think it's too overkill to use that thing to rob Winder of a pedestrian - and when Wende fishes out the dragon slayer again from his creativity, and smashes a motorcycle with a sword into several pieces, even if he wants to, he has no chance.
Without the deterrence of heavy weapons, the guns in his hands alone would not pose much of a threat to Wende. He rushed into the crowd of slave traders, like a tiger into a flock of sheep, even if he didn't go out of his way to kill him, but after a minute, there was still no one present who could stand.
Four of the slave traders died on the spot, two more were seriously injured and could not last long, and the remaining three were also wounded, of which the slave leader was the least injured, only his left shoulder was broken by a baseball thrown by Winder.
If it weren't for someone else's confession, Winder really didn't expect this guy who didn't fire a few shots at the beginning of the fight and wanted to run away when he saw that the situation was not good...... It's their leader.
This caused Winder to interrogate him with some strange thoughts, only to learn an unexpected piece of information.
The slave traders' hideout was not very far from here, and there were also a number of "slaves" who had been taken captive.
Generally speaking, only under Miki, there will be nothing to ask for.
However, this slave leader was a special case...... Winder didn't use much torture at all, and this guy spit out his family affairs as if he were pouring beans.
Looking at the expression, according to the [Lie Detection], it didn't seem to be fake, but it made Winder a little curious in addition to being funny, "How did a guy like you do their boss?" ”
The slave leader immediately smiled and replied, "Business, business." "It's rare to have a stumbling slurp.
Winder vaguely guessed, "You're actually being controlled?" ”
Without waiting for the slave leader to answer, he had already received the answer from the other party's expression.
So he stopped asking, but asked him how many people were being detained, what he had done before, and so on.
When I learned that there were about twenty or thirty people who were imprisoned, they came from a variety of sources, but the largest group came from a ruined living place, and most of them were women...... It was another group of slave traders who pinned their place on the back.
Wende hesitated slightly, then made a decision.
Although he felt that there might be a pitfall, he did need some manpower in this world, so he still planned to take a risk.
