Chapter 007: Shocking Change
At dawn, Linciso set off, riding a biochemical camel feeling very imposing, although one camel was not yet an adult, but it was already able to carry a lot of things.
Gently shake the reins and set off on your first desert trip. Water is a must, find a shady place to rest before noon, and beware of gerbil infestation at night. Sandstorms don't happen very often, but when they do, they can be overwhelming hurricanes and dangerous.
The village chief was afraid that he would be anxious for a while, so he didn't have time to pay attention to Lin Xisuo's movements, and when he came out, he was extra careful, except for Uncle Blacksmith, who did not alarm anyone.
The biochemical camel has amazing endurance and is a docile improved livestock. They have twin peaks, with a maximum speed of 75 kilometers per hour, and can walk for more than ten days without eating or drinking, making them the ships of the desert.
Three strokes on the sun, the scorching sun will shine on the desert, this is not the hottest, wait until noon on the hot sand surface can fry eggs. Although human beings in the interstellar age have evolved several times and are far more adaptable than the ancients, they are still stretched thin in such a harsh environment.
"It's hot! It's only been a few hours since I've started to miss the cold crypt, how come it's like a stove everywhere? If it has not been genetically fine-tuned, it is difficult to withstand such temperatures. ”
Lynniso was in relatively good shape, and the traders had to get used to it for a few weeks before their first trip. There are not a few teenagers whose newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but few of them persist. Don't think of the caravan too simply, many cooling measures are exclusive recipes, just like the map that every family in the shipwreck village has in their hands, it is capital, it is an advantage, and it is the most valuable dependence.
Lin Xiso took out the water bladder and poured it up, and his smoking throat suddenly improved. The nearest oasis is thousands of kilometres away and is rich in lemon and figs. Because of the curative effect of lemon fruit against scurvy, this oasis is quite famous.
Once upon a time, there were frequent conflicts between oases, and the losers preferred to destroy the oases rather than hand them over to their opponents, and later people tried to refrain from cherishing their limited resources. There are many people who try to control the desert, but the water system resources in this place are scarce, and it is already impossible to make ends meet just to deal with the destruction of gerbils, so how can they have the energy and funds to engage in greening, so it will not be done.
Resting behind a sand dune at noon, I nibbled on a biscuit. You can't drink too much water, it will make people dependent.
"Damn star, I've often heard people say how the sun is so hot in the desert, and today I've finally learned it. Isn't this just vicious? Almost killing people. Looking behind him, Lin Xiso thought again: "There will definitely be a big move in the village, and Gorde has a better chance of becoming the village chief." No matter what the outcome is, first wander outside for a few years, and then go back to the shipwreck village to find a light brain to study. Enjoying the aristocratic education of a thousand years ago is not an opportunity for everyone, and if you get another genetic fine-tuning reward, you may be able to go to the outer planet one day. ”
The camels were fed some water and were the best companions until they got their hands on the hoverboards. Even if you get a hoverboard, you don't plan to give up on cyborg camels.
Mechanized transportation tools consume a lot of energy, and ordinary people can't afford to raise them, so it is the best policy to use the two together.
In the afternoon, Linciso set out on his journey again, and it may have been a bit lonely to travel alone, but he was used to it. If you really join a caravan and do what you are told, you will feel uncomfortable. In addition, under the name of the Chamber of Commerce, 17% of the profits must be handed over, and there will be more newcomers. Rather than working for others, it is better to work on your own, believing that one day you will get ahead, or even become a figure like President Wood, so that you can live up to your mother's deathbed expectations.
Wandering, the sound of camel bells goes far and wide, and there is always a lot of time to think about problems when you are lonely. Lin Xiso felt that with his current skills, he would not be frightened even in the face of more than fifty gerbils. However, compared to the threat of gerbils, humans are the most dangerous existence, which is a cannibalistic desert. The high-beam crossbow was placed within reach, with a mountain knife pinned to his waist, a ceramic dagger hidden in his clothes, and a large pile of bits and pieces.
It's normal to be cautious in the face of crises from time to time, but Lin Xisuo has gone a little too far, in fact, the "culprit" of all this is the sunken village light brain.
Thousands of years ago, the children of the aristocracy seemed to be very afraid of being kidnapped, and other cultural courses were not enough, including a special course, which was about how to use tools to make improvised weapons, how to communicate with the kidnappers during the kidnapping process, how to escape, how to give first aid, and so on.
In the past few years, the kidnappers have not been seen, but they have mastered a lot of small skills, and they can live to this day, and the anti-kidnapping subject has contributed a lot, and even considers himself an expert in this area.
The sparse Lala cactus points out the direction, only on the business road there is green, the temperature difference between day and night on the desert is large, the cold and warm self-knowing, the most afraid of getting sick, after the decline in physical strength is equal to half a foot into the ghost gate.
I thought I could meet passing caravans on the road, but I ended up walking for many days except for yellow sand.
In the afternoon, Linciso licked her chapped lips and lifted her binoculars to look around, but she couldn't see even a large rock. Then he muttered to himself: "It should not be far from the oasis, why don't you even have a passing caravan?" Wait, President Wood seems to have told the village chief to be careful of the Star Thieves in the near future, isn't that the reason? ”
"There seems to be a voice." Lin Xiso hurriedly pulled the camel and hid behind the sand dunes, only to see billowing smoke and dust coming in this direction.
"Boom, boom......" Dozens of hovering locomotives drove frantically, each locomotive looked extremely bloated, and the driver's face was very haggard, I don't know what kind of encounter I experienced.
"This, this is the motorcycle team, the guard force of the oasis, usually they show off their might, but they are so embarrassed. Can't travel any further, something must have happened to the Oasis. ”
Thinking of this, Lin Xiso hurriedly turned around, and suddenly the surroundings became dark, and he looked up and saw three small ships flashing past and chasing towards the hovering locomotive.
"Mom, the speed is so fast, depending on the situation, it is chasing the convoy, I'm afraid there will be no chance if I don't slip away." Lin Xisuo will not be stupid enough to watch the excitement, there are many rumors of star thieves, which can stop the children's night crying and make people shudder. In short, they are bloodthirsty butchers, terrifying demon kings, and destroyers who see what they see. He turned around and mounted his camel and galloped away in the opposite direction.
Linciso was sweating profusely, and the biochemical camel ran at its top speed for two hours, patting his chest, and secretly saying that he was lucky.
Suddenly, the sky was full of sand and dust, and a spaceship hundreds of meters long slowly fell, and the bottom of the spacecraft spit out fierce flames, and three figures ejected out.
"No, it won't, right? In order to chase me out on such a large spaceship, the star thief has a bag on his head? "Linciso is sure it's a star pirate ship.
"Plop, plop, plop", the strange sound called back to the heart, and three big men in strange armor settled in the dust.
The leader of the big man looked cold, only he was not wearing a helmet, and when he looked at Lin Xisuo, he said to the people around him: "Very good, the life emblem is vigorous, it is a rare prey, and the age is within the range of capture, take him on the spaceship and we will go back as soon as possible." ”
"Yes, yes!"
The two big men floated over more than ten centimeters above the ground, and they spoke interstellar standard language, which everyone could understand.
There was a power grid on the opposite side of "Po", and it really took people as prey. Linciso looked attentive, reflexively threw the kettle at his waist, and without looking at the result, he dodged and approached the two camels.
The power grid wrapped the kettle and contracted tightly, and there was a mushy smell in the air, and the three big men were a little surprised by the teenager's reaction.
With a flick of his hand, Lin Xisuo pulled out two grenades. It's a bit primitive, but it works.
"Boom, boom." The heat wave swept in, and the violent explosion only made the three of them take half a step back, and all the damage was blocked by the strange armor, and the leader even held up a light film in front of him, and he was not afraid.
", how can this be fought." Linciso cursed, and without hesitation, he took out a few more bundles of small bottles from his bag, and threw them at the enemy.
Laser guns are fired, bottles are crushed in the air, colorful liquids are spilled, and white smoke rises from the ground.
"It's not good, it's a highly toxic acid, and the prey is experienced in combat." The other two were not so lucky, their armed defense was obviously lower, their armor was corroded by venom, and their joints became stiff.
Lin Xiso didn't care about the camel and his suit, like a swift leopard running away, he didn't dare to think about the fate of being caught by the star thief, even if he didn't die, he would become a slave, and it would definitely be a hundred times worse than the life of the earth ring.
"I dare to be presumptuous in front of me, I'm really impatient." The leader of the big man started instantly, and a thin light erupted from his feet, and he actually slid on the sand, and when he encountered a large sand dune, his body leaned slightly, and he went around in an instant, and his speed was much faster than that of Lin Xisuo who was running.
The wind was roaring, raising the high-beam crossbow to send out an arrow by feeling, in order to reduce the weight, even the bow and crossbow were not needed, the nostrils were closed one by one, and the hot air was inhaled, and it ran quickly.
The "ding" crossbow arrow was incredibly nailed to the center of the big man's eyebrows, and was finally blocked by the light film.
The big man broke out in a cold sweat. Because he was not wearing a helmet, no matter how ruthless this arrow was, his life was in danger, and he said secretly: "What a difficult little ghost, maybe it can meet the needs of the leader?" It has to be caught alive! ”
With a decision, the big man continued to slide under his feet, closing the distance again. Unable to do anything, Linciso suddenly stopped, threw his waist knife to the ground, raised his hands and shouted: "I surrender, I surrender, don't kill me." ”
"Thorn" A flash of lightning flashed, only to feel that his body was numb, and he immediately fainted to the ground.
"Hmph, let Lao Tzu lose face and want to be intact, let you know how powerful the star thief is."
As soon as the words fell, the big man picked up the stun gun and hit it again, and Lin Xisuo, who was originally unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes, his body spasmed violently, and then fainted again.
"Go back, according to the information from the detection satellite, there is a sunken ship in the distance, tell the other teams to loot! We've caught enough of them. ”
Picking up Lin Xisuo, the big man's feet were dusty and sandy, and he suddenly pulled it up into the air. Two of his subordinates followed, not even looking at the cyborg camel, and even less dismissive of the black-haired boy's weapon.
After a moment, it was as if the sound of the lock was opened, after which the body was thrown out, and the consciousness fell into darkness, endless darkness.
