Chapter 2: Hunter's Track
When the boy opened his eyes, he was still in the wilderness. Just as he was about to get up, he couldn't help but fall again because of excessive hunger, exhaustion, and the chain reaction of days of wandering at sea. Then, after a few breaths, he forced his waist to turn over, and changed to a more comfortable position to lie down, his aching and weak body seemed to remind him not to move.
The old man looked at the young man with a smile and said, "I have just injected you with a nourishing potion, hurry up, I can't carry you, there will be wild beasts here occasionally, and it is not a place to speak." β
Hearing this, the young man felt a little scared in his heart, his alert heart had been honed in years of survival in the wild.
Thinking of this, he slammed the sand with one hand, and barely hit a side flip to bounce up.
Smiled awkwardly: "Uncle, I need some food to recover my strength, it seems that I am going to trouble you." β
"Am I that old? Call me Dr. Yoshida, and come with me. The old man picked up the boy and walked briskly for a moment, and led him to a leafy tree with a hole in it.
The sight is a huge building, with green-painted villas three stories high and surrounded by a high-voltage power grid.
"Yoshida Institute of Science and Life Experiments......" Looking at the huge plaque, the boy couldn't help but whisper.
I saw the old man take out the remote control from his white robe, press it a few times casually, and the power grid will automatically separate from the middle.
"Come in, young man."
Follow the old man to the interior, the short corridor wall is covered with many murals, physicist Einstein, air combat star Xia Xiaowei, storm hunter Raphael and many other celebrities of the era, below are their life mottos.
The hall is equipped with all kinds of instruments, computers and many experimental supplies, with a large brain in the center and stairs leading up and down the stairs on both sides of the hall.
When he came to the upper floor, the old man casually opened a room and said, "Young man, you rest for a while, and I'll help you get something to eat." Dr. Yoshida began to sigh in fragments, and even forgot the boy's thanks: "Amazing! It's amazing! There is such a strong physique! β
The boy didn't care, and turned his head to look out the window, where mutated creatures a few kilometers away were still walking around, as if looking for food.
Soon the door was opened, and the old man pushed the food cart into the room, and the fragrant dishes came into view, including barbecue and roast chicken. Aged Moutai, there is also a small bottle of XO, which can be described as a VIP hospitality, which makes people have a great appetite.
After expressing his gratitude, the boy stopped being hypocritical, picked up a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth.
Yoshida could see that the boy was indeed starving, and it took him a few minutes before he asked, "Young man, how did you get here?" β
Stopping his movements, the boy said, "Five years ago, I hit a reef on a cruise ship and was stranded on an isolated island...... and he summarized his experience, and Yoshida was amazed to hear it.
"Hehe, little brother, do you want to have a cup of Moutai?" The old man had already filled himself up as he spoke.
"Wine? It's a long time coming. Well, let's walk up for a few glasses. β
Yoshida was overjoyed when he heard about it! "Come on, boy, that's how men should live." Taking a sip, Yoshida continued: "Although I don't have the physique of you young people, and I can't live in the smoke of war like those warriors - but I like the feeling of being anesthetized by alcohol - I longing for the kind of killing mutant monsters on the battlefield - going to the warrior intelligence center to receive a bounty, and then eating meat and drinking in noisy bars, exchanging information with each other and waiting for tomorrow's mission, that heroic life." β
The young man felt that there was a little sadness in the tone of the kind and enthusiastic old man. He didn't interrupt, just listened intently.
"But I'm old. Even when I was young, I was frail and sickly, and I could only sit in front of the computer every day and repeatedly look up information about monsters or research a scientific achievement. If I could turn back twenty years: I would choose to take up arms, drive chariots, and travel around every corner of the world. β
Feeling the oppression of the atmosphere, the old man touched his white beard: "Young man, what should I call you?" The doctor asked, smiling, staring at the young man in front of him.
"Me? Ay! The boy laughed bitterly at himself and said, "I have long since lost my memory, and I have not mentioned my nameβnot even my parents, my family, or even my memories. Strangely enough, I was just like a normal person except for memories. Sometimes I really don't know why I'm here...... Or do you want to find the answer to your life? β
The doctor smiled, "Kid, is the result really that important?" Perhaps the answer lies in the landscape of your life's journey. β
This sentence made the boy think for a long time...... When his deep ice-blue eyes opened and closed again, a brilliant light erupted. "Thank you, Dr. Yoshida, and I'll give you a drink." The two of them picked up their wine glasses, looked at each other and smiled and drank it all.
The boy asked, "I wonder why the Doctor lives here alone?" Where does this food come from? β
Yoshida said proudly: "Hehe...... My daughter sent it to me, and she is a veritable third-level bounty hunter in the Pobu region, hundreds of kilometers from here. If it wasn't difficult to come here with her third-order strength, how about it? Awesome! β
Seeing the doctor's rhetorical question, the young man could only smile wryly and nod. Although I don't know how good the third-level strength is, and whether he will learn the light skills in ancient martial arts novels, he thinks that he is no less than a person in his life. Strong or weak, it is your principle to be worthy of your heart in everything.
Who knew that the old man deliberately teased: "In addition, my daughter Ji Mengli is still single, hehe." β
The boy was speechless about this.
The two talked happily until late at night. In the end, the boy realized that Yoshida was a famous scientist, biologist and physicist, and his fame was outrageous!
"Hehe, people are old, they prefer to be quiet, away from the noisy life of the city, and the surrounding high-voltage power grid makes monsters dare not approach, so that my little life has a taste, and I can still water flowers and grow vegetables in my spare time." Yoshida sighed and added, "But after all, I am a scientist and I have to contribute to humanity, and I have many of my research results here." Boy, it's not too early, how about letting you see the big guy another day? β
"Okay." Seeing that the doctor is still focusing on scientific research at such an age, the young man has a little more respect in his heart.
The two chatted late into the night, and they were speechless one after another......
A few days later.
Outside the courtyard outside the door, Dr. Yoshida leaned back in a chaise longue with his eyes closed, his gray hair brushing his cheeks in the breeze, but he seemed to enjoy the midday sun. Occasionally, I would open my eyes and look at my watch, as if I was waiting for something......
The teenager intensified his training in the indoor gravity room, preferring this kind of technology to improve his strength.
Life on a desert island tells him that he must be vigilant at all times, let alone relax his exercise, and only by constantly improving his own strength can he ensure his safety.
And today, it is the ninth day of his exercise in the gravity room, from the first day of double gravity, until now ten times the gravity has not made the boy suffer, this is the limit he can bear for the time being, and his evolutionary genetic physique seems to have signs of awakening.
Long.
Squeak ......
The door of the gravity chamber was pushed open, and the boy walked out of the gravity chamber with his upper body naked while wiping his sweat. After finishing the work, he went back to his room and fell asleep. In the afternoon, Dr. Yoshida's computer class was waiting for him, and in the evening there was a lot of physics homework to do.
It is worth mentioning that the teenager seems to have a good memory and learns very quickly, which can almost be said to be unforgettable.
And Dr. Yoshida is like a child who has picked up candy, smiling from ear to ear every day. I just want the young man to be his apprentice, and the famous teacher makes a high apprentice is what he nagged the most every day.
The next day, Dr. Yoshida woke up early, stretched his old waist, and the young man's ears moved inadvertently, and then continued to sleep, his sleeping appearance looking extremely indecent.
Not long after the doctor walked out of the door softly, he came back with a stack of clothes, and threw it casually, but was suddenly caught by the boy in the air, which is the conscious instinct that has been tempered by years of survival in the wild.
"You can't keep messing around with rags, hurry up and put on your clothes."
"Thank you, old man." The young man responded, he didn't sleep well, shook his forehead with one hand and smiled bitterly, and then put on his clothes three times and five by two.
The disrespectful words made Yoshida blow his beard and stare at him, but after looking at the boy carefully for a moment, he immediately forgot about it, and his eyes showed a surprise that could not be concealed! He also gossiped: "Wow! What a good boy! Wearing a brown combat uniform and combat boots, with a moderate height and a well-proportioned body shape, it gives people a sense of angularity and strength. The jujube red hair shows a youthful demeanor, and the ice blue pupils make people seem to understand whether they understand or not, sharp but not ostentatious, sharp but not aggressive. The appearance of dragon eyebrows and big eyes, masculine handsome, resolute and resolute does not lose its connotation, and it is absolutely at the level of a girl killer! Full marks out of bounds. Here: Put this cloak on too. With that, he picked up the cloak with one hand and wanted to put it on the boy.
"Hey, wait! I said Dr...... Why do you want me to wear this cape? β
Dr. Yoshida smiled mysteriously, "Do you think there is any warrior who doesn't wear a cape?" This is proof of a warrior. The doctor then put on the boy without the slightest intention of stopping.
"You old fellow, it's never too late to tell me what a warrior is."
The boy is in a hurry! Hearing this, the doctor stopped moving his hand, and his expression rarely became serious.
"Stinky boy, who made you amnesia? Well, for the sake of our master and apprentice, I will tell you about it. The old man did not forget to take advantage of the words when he spoke, and said, "Now is a new pattern, a new beginning." More than 40 years have passed since the nuclear war, and human civilization has regressed for more than a hundred years, and a small number of technologies still exist - war, so that a large area of land sinks into the ocean, and the Atlanta continent is one of the four broken continents that are closely connected, and the storm hunter Raphael was born in the Atlanta continent, which is also our pride! This continent is also home to people of all shapes and sizes from all over the world. β
The old man paused and continued: "Because of the destruction of the ecological balance due to many biochemical experiments such as war, the docile and cute animals have become huge and ferocious, and often attack our dwellings. Since then, a new star organization has been born, the so-called bounty hunters, commonly known as warriors, which are composed of mercenaries, soldiers, killers, youth, students, and even ruffians, who earn bounties by killing monsters and wanted criminals. Even: many people will choose this industry for fame, fortune, women or money - but how many real bounty hunters are there? β
As if mocking the world, the old man's cloudy eyes revealed a touch of dim vicissitudes: "Child, your clear eyes tell me that the real you, hidden under the resolute appearance, are a gentle and trustworthy person. You have a flawless heart, which is rare, and you can collect the wisdom of the brain and that incomparably strong body, destined to make a difference in this continent, I hope that your future path will not deviate from the right track of life. β
"Doctor, you ......" He wanted to continue to say something, but was interrupted by the doctor in the middle of the way: "Child, if you have time, go to Bobu for a walk, you will meet many interesting things there, and you can find the trajectory of life in the red dust." β
The young man smiled slightly, he also longed for that kind of free and unrestrained life, but his mouth was unrelenting: "Old man, who doesn't know the truth, you are really sentimental." β
"Bastard, you!" Before he could finish speaking, Dr. Yoshida then picked up his cloak and tried to step forward, but in the blink of an eye, the man disappeared without a trace......
Time is like flowing water, and January is approaching in the blink of an eye.
The old man waited left and right, and he didn't see the cheap apprentice asking him to open the science and technology library so that he could visit, but he couldn't help it, and this night, he finally pulled the young man into the small treasure house.
Fingerprint recognition confirmed, and the heavy steel door slowly opened......
If you look at it, you can see conventional weapons from many eras displayed here, and many conventional guns and weapons have been wiped with oil and shine.
Ice Flame Two-Headed Serpent III, Photoelectric Rifles, Bionic Arm Claws, Combat Suits or Mithril Body Armor, etc., a whole bunch of equipment is dazzling.
Finally, the weapon that Chen placed in the center of the ammunition depot caught the attention of the teenager.
It was a specially made Barrett Super Heavy Sniper Rifle and a pair of dual-wielding Desert Eagles.
Walking forward, the boy gently stroked these camouflage matching little guys, and felt heavy in his hand. Didn't you think that this folding anti-materiel Barrett sniper rifle weighs so much? It is estimated that it can reach tens of kilograms.
"What, interested? These two little ones are specially made by me from supermetal. β
"Teacher, I'll play with it."
This teacher, Yoshida's heart was full of joy. As soon as the old man who was silent in joy turned around, the bastard disappeared again? This......
Anyway, it's been like this lately, and Dr. Yoshida is used to it.
