#第06章 Bloodline Elixir
After pondering for a period of time, although Guo Xiaoshi still doesn't know what this brand is, he can understand its habits a little: when the brand is hot, that is the meaning of eating, but it is different from eating in the ordinary sense, but it is absorbing energy, and it is interested in all high-energy things.
As if stimulated by those currents, the imprint heated up extremely quickly, and it quickly "ate" all the currents drilled into the body, and by the way, a trace of warm current spread up and down the body, which made Guo Xiaoshi feel that the whiplash on his back seemed to become less painful for a moment.
One lash was followed by two more.
Compared with the first whip, the latter two whips are much better for Guo Xiaoshi. After the brand was "woken up" by the first whip, the speed of absorbing energy became faster, and the warm current it emitted also had a protective function, so that Guo Xiaoshi's damage was greatly reduced.
After three lashes, most of the people who had been whipped lay down and could not get up, and some of those who had received six lashes had even fainted and were unconscious.
There are more than 30 people who have not been whipped, and more than 20 of them do not admit their accounts.
Guo Xiaoshi lay on the ground like everyone else, and at the same time glanced at those who did not admit it, he was really curious about what to do with the signal light.
The signal light stopped and stood, and said in an indifferent voice: "I have said it several times, it is important to listen to orders, I can tolerate it the first time, but it will not work again and again." ”
After a slight pause, he turned his gaze to those who were not beaten: "As for you, I have already given you a chance, who has not stood up, you should know it yourself, I won't talk nonsense!" ”
As he spoke, the hand of the semaphore burst out again with a long whip, and then with a wave of his hand, the long whip suddenly turned into more than twenty pieces and flew towards those who did not admit it.
"Smack!"
The white light flew, hitting the target at the same time as before, only this time they didn't hit the back, but the head.
In an instant, the more than 20 people who did not admit their accounts did not even scream, and they had turned into more than 20 corpses.
The movement of the signal light is crisp and neat, but it is so fierce that it makes people feel cold.
At this moment, everyone was stunned, and compared to being beaten a few times, the fate of the more than 20 people in front of them made them feel more frightened.
Even though Guo Xiaoshi was mentally prepared for this, he was still frightened, he felt that since he was here to be a soldier, at least his life safety could be guaranteed for the time being, but now it seems that this is not the case, the life and death of these people are still in the hands of others, and they can be taken away at any time.
There are also some people, looking at those dead people with white faces, thinking back to the things that they almost wanted to deny before like them, and they can't help but be secretly afraid, including the eight bones, although the guy can't make a sound, but his mouth is still slightly open and muttered: "The barbarian god blesses, it's almost, it's really a little worse......"
After the killing, the signal clapped his hands casually and said, "I will say again one last time, if you want to live here well, you must obey orders." ”
Unlike the previous times when he said this, this time he was not so solemn, but it was enough to make the words "listen to orders" firmly engraved in the minds of the slaves.
When I went back to my room to sleep, almost everyone slept on their stomachs, and the whiplash on their back was painful to pull at will, let alone press it, which caused the sound of "inhaling cold air" in the room one after another, which was deaf and audible.
Guo Xiaoshi's injuries were better than the others, but he still felt uncomfortable, and he was worried that he didn't know when he would see the old barbarian again, so he struggled for a long time before he finally fell asleep in a daze.
I don't know how long I slept this night, Guo Xiaoshi has been disturbed by all kinds of dreams, in the dream he is Guo Xiaoshi for a while, sitting at the dinner table at home peacefully, eating the food made by his mother, while his father is next to him with vegetables, talking about the great truth of being a man; After a while he became a dragon fire again, and lay down in the cave warmed by the firewood, watching the old barbarian sew him a new fur coat with bone needles......
Eventually, he was woken up by a deep voice.
"Wake up, little one, wake up!"
Guo Xiaoshi opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Hu Bagu's hairy face, and the guy was looking at him with wide eyes, with an anxious face.
Guo Xiaoshi froze, looked left and right, and found that the other slaves around him were still sleeping, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "What's wrong, uncle?" ”
"Oh, are you alright, little one? I've been calling you for a while, and you haven't woken up. Hu Bagu looked at Guo Xiaoshi worriedly: "Do you know that you have been calling your grandfather when you are sleeping, and you have said something you don't understand, strange, I'm really worried that you are sick." ”
Listening to Hu Bagu's words, Guo Xiaoshi knew that he was talking in his dreams, and probably spoke Chinese, so he should pay attention to this in the future.
"I'm fine, uncle, go back to sleep!"
Guo Xiaoshi said with a smile, and accidentally pulled the whiplash on his back when he spoke, which made him grin, but then he found that the pain seemed to be much lighter than expected, and there was even a trace of itching after the pain, which felt like a scab after the wound healed.
No way? All right?
Guo Xiaoshi quietly pressed his wound with his hand, and sure enough, what surprised him was that the wound had really healed for a while, and there was only a little pain when he pressed it, which was much better than before going to bed.
At this time, he could finally determine that the brand had a healing effect, and the condition was that it was fed enough energy to "eat".
"The place where you were beaten hurts again?" Seeing Guo Xiaoshi's movements, Hu Bagu couldn't help but ask with concern, and then after thinking about it, he lowered his voice and said secretly: "Little guy, I was lucky to stand out with you yesterday, otherwise Uncle Ke would have been killed." ”
Guo Xiaoshi waved his hand and said, "Uncle, remember to follow their rules in the future, it's fine, don't cheat." ”
"Nope! Definitely not! Hu Bagu shook his head like a drum, he ate a trench yesterday, and his wisdom grew a little: "Uncle will listen to you in the future, you are much smarter than Uncle, you must mention more Uncle in the future!" ”
"Okay, uncle, you can mention me more in the future." Guo Xiaoshi had a good impression of this straightforward barbarian, and after lying down again, he said: "Uncle, let's stop talking, go to sleep, I don't know if I will be punished for talking nonsense." ”
"Okay, okay, go to sleep!"
As soon as he heard that he was punished, Hu Bagu immediately cooed and lay down, but his mouth was a little idle, and after being silent for a while, he whispered: "Little guy, your name is Long Huo'er, and Uncle will call you Huo Yanzi in the future, right?" ”
"Good!"
"Fire boy, what do you say they are going to do when they are arresting us?"
"I don't know!" Guo Xiaoshi said perfunctorily: "Uncle, go to sleep!" ”
"Fire boy, you say ......"
“……”
After that, Guo Xiaoshi didn't pay attention to the eight bones of the hooves, and the eight bones of the hooves were bored for a while, and soon fell asleep with a snort.
Guo Xiaoshi had just slept for a while, and then he couldn't sleep at all, he lay quietly on the bed, until the whole room suddenly lit up, and the signal light walked in with heavy steps, shouting at everyone to get up.
Bring everyone to the playground yesterday, and the signal lights give a loud order: "Take off all your clothes, there is nothing left, there is no use in leaving those rags, and then one by one will line up, and someone will come and give you the injections." ”
Although the twenty or so corpses lying here yesterday had long since been removed, and even the blood stains on the ground had been cleaned up, the slaves did not dare to disobey what the signal light said in the slight, and at his command, they quickly undressed and lined up, silently lining up one after another.
Semaphore nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave.
After a few moments, dozens of "giants" dressed in milky white mechanical armor came in and began injecting some kind of potion into each slave's arm.
Their movements were fast, and it didn't take long for Guo Xiaoshi's turn.
The giant held a small metal cylinder in his hand, and quickly pressed it on Guo Xiaoshi's arm, only to hear a soft sound of "snort", Guo Xiaoshi felt as if he had been lightly bitten by something, and then the injection was over, leaving a red pinhole on his arm.
Each injected slave was handcuffed by the "giants" in heavy shackles and restrained to the floor, so that they could not move at will and could not make too drastic movements.
This practice made Guo Xiaoshi have a bad premonition in his heart, and he only felt that there should be any risks in this injection.
Just when Guo Xiaoshi was in doubt, in another room, the signal light was watching the entire injection process through the hologram.
While watching, he said to the white-helmeted "giant" standing beside him, "Night grass, I heard that the low-level bloodline potion has been improved this time, what is the success rate of passing now?" ”
Yecao replied, "Sir, the success rate of the improved low-grade bloodline potion has reached sixty-two percent. ”
"Sixty-two percent?" The signal light glared in surprise, "The success rate of passing was 60 percent before, but now it is 62 percent, so after the improvement, it has only increased by two points?" ”
Nightgrass nodded, "Yes, sir." ”
The signal light patted the chair dissatisfiedly: "It has only increased by two points, but the price of each bloodline potion has increased by ten Yu coins, which is also ridiculously expensive, right?" ”
Yecao replied with a serious expression: "Sir, you don't know how much manpower and material resources are required to increase a bloodline potion by even one point, but now that it has increased by two points at once, these ten Yu coins are still worth spent." ”
"Worth a fart!" The signal light snorted coldly: "Ten Yu coins can buy ten prime-age slaves in a place like Dongyixing, and it is better to buy more slaves by raising those two points." ”
Yecao said without humility or arrogance: "Sir, now that wars have broken out frequently in various parts of the empire, people are needed everywhere, and in some places slaves have gradually begun to be scarce, although the cost of improved bloodline potions is a little higher, it is better than wasting manpower in vain." After a slight pause, Yecao said again: "This time we have received 20,000 people in Dongyi, if the success rate of passing after using the bloodline potion is increased by two points, it will be forty more people, which is almost the number of a servant squad." ”
Signal Light smiled coldly: "Look at it, even if there are forty more people, it is just forty more cannon fodder, spending so much for them, who knows if it's worth it?" ”
