Chapter 4 Simple Surgery
Xuanzang was tied to the back seat of the motorcycle as usual to eat dirt. The golden mountain had long disappeared at the end of the horizon, and he clutched the rosary to estimate the time, and finally saw the fiery red pillar of light that went straight up to the sky through the sand, and relieved himself.
The rest of the team was unaware of this. He glanced at the leading car a little nervously, and it seemed that Liu Hong did not pay attention to the rearview mirror. Only he, with his back to the crowd, saw the image and understood its meaning.
The first message sent through the rosary was a mining report written in response to the Golden Mountain, imitating the official format of the Heavenly Court.
Due to the lack of technology to mine and smelt gold, and the lack of the slightest demand for gold, people lived in the Jinshan Mine for so many years, and they did not expect that the stones that could be found everywhere around them contained great value.
Gold had long lost its status as a general equivalent, and on the wasteland, it was no more suitable as a currency than a Coke bottle cap. But for the gods and Buddhas who have survived from the Old World, gold still carries a legacy of wealth, power and luxury.
On the other hand, for the Heavenly Court, which loved to study, those immortals had a great demand for gold, and it was a necessary material for many elements. Once found in the mortal world, it must be collected as soon as possible.
The low gold reserves in the Jinshan Cave, and the fact that the veins are not in good condition, have not been mined is apparently missed in the early years of exploration. As time goes on, the previous reserves are no longer sufficient, so they will gladly accept the coordinates at this time.
Naturally, the ordinary people who recited the sutras with devotion every day never thought of telling this message to the gods and Buddhas. However, if they really took the initiative to issue the coordinates of the gold mine, I am afraid that they will suffer even greater disappointment and anger.
Xuanzang knew the style of those guys in the sky, and they wouldn't give months in advance so that the residents in the mine would have time to find the next place to live. Nor will they set foot on mortal land and dig ore out of the mines in a step-by-step manner.
Their mindset is to go straight in everything and achieve their goals in the most direct way.
Watching the pillar of light gradually disappear, Xuanzang secretly thought, hoping that Xuanzhi and them would be calm enough to honestly find another place to live like the people he drove away. If you fight back in anger because the mine was destroyed, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Xuanzang didn't care much about the follow-up events triggered by the first piece of information, it was just a little retaliatory punishment in passing. The significance of the first message is to cover the second really important message.
According to the plan, he should take advantage of the destruction of Jinshan's chanting machine and the temporary judgment of the rosary in his hand as an unowned node, and send a second broadcast message to let FTB obtain his coordinates. But he had forgotten the plaintext encryption algorithm he used in his previous life.
If it is sent without encryption, the broadcast will be received by all devices in the place. Even if you are really lucky and not captured, when the rosary is re-determined by the wireless network, you will look up this information, so that you will be exposed.
In the absence of conditions to encrypt the rosary and forget the encryption algorithm, Xuanzang can be said to be struggling. And......
He looked down at the injured leg, the bandages were completely dirty and the color of the desert, and there was faint blood oozing out. These guys are so perfunctory, they let him sit outside when they have a car. He couldn't compare to the bikers, who were tightly wrapped in linen.
Xuanzang shook his head and knocked on the back of the driver's head to get his attention. "And what?" The other party asked impatiently.
"Tell Liu Hong, stop for a while."
The driver refused at first, but Xuanzang threatened with the example of the dwarf being driven away yesterday, so he had to do so, and leaned against Liu Hong's car with a few throttles.
As expected, Liu Hong still attached more importance to Xuanzang, and he honked a few horns in a special rhythm, and the convoy stopped.
"Boy, what tricks do you want to play?" Liu Hong snatched Xuanzang's rosary and played with it in his hand, "I've also taken this thing all the way for you, and I'm not satisfied." If you have a fart, don't challenge my patience. ”
"My leg, the bleeding doesn't stop." Xuanzang gestured with his chin. Liu Hong stepped forward to take a closer look, and the blood really oozed out of the bandage, staining the outer layer of sand red.
"Your men only cut off the dead flesh yesterday, didn't take the bullets, and didn't stitch it up, so it doesn't have much effect just by wrapping it up like this."
Liu Hong looked at the subordinate, he spread his hands and said helplessly, "No tools." ”
"It must be taken out immediately, the bullet contains lead, and it will be poisoned when mixed with blood, and it will not be a matter of one leg at that time. You can take the bandage off and know that I didn't lie to you. ”
Liu Hong held his chin and thought about it, and nodded in agreement. The bandage was removed, revealing Xuanzang's swollen and deformed right leg, pus slowly leaked from the wound, and the whole leg showed a dangerous dark purple. Liu Hong looked at Xuanzang's face again, his lips were pale and his breath was weak.
"See? I can't help this. Xuanzang's eyebrows were furrowed, he was also very nervous about this, if this leg was abolished, there would be basically no play in the future, and whatever he said would be solved first, "Is there a knife?" ”
"Yes, yes, but I'm not a doctor, so I can only bandage it." The subordinate replied.
Xuanzang said: "I know how to do it. Untie the rope, give me the knife, and I'll do it myself. ”
Liu Hong sneered: "The knife is for you?" We're not stupid. ”
"I'm not stupid enough to use one knife on you so many guns."
"What if you kill yourself? You don't want to die, we've lost a big deal. ”
Xuanzang sighed and said, "I want to live more than all of you, and I won't joke with my life." You really can't trust me, so it's okay to give me chopsticks. ”
Liu Hong pondered for a moment and finally agreed.
Under the watchful eye of a group of Tiger Gang members, Xuanzang opened the wound with his hands, poured the anti-inflammatory powder that the Tiger Gang grabbed out of nowhere, and then passed the chopsticks over the fire several times, smoothly stretched into the wound, and smashed it left and right. This picture makes those murderous motorcycle parties a little unbearable.
Xuanzang tried to stabilize his hand, which had begun to tremble, and felt that he had touched the warhead, and tried several times without success. "It's a little slippery." He lowered his head and whispered.
Liu Hong motioned to someone next to him to give him the knife. Xuanzang dug up again, took a deep breath, probed the thumb and index finger of his right hand, held his breath, and then cooperated with the knife to slowly move out.
A blackened metal bump was finally picked out, and Xuanzang let out a sigh, the clothes on his body were already soaked, and sweat dripped into the sand. The whole time, he didn't scream.
"Good! It's a man! Liu Hong was the first to shout, and the others also nodded silently, looking at Xuanzang with a little admiration.
Xuanzang tried hard to hold on and didn't pass out, and said, "But there is still no way to stitch it up." ”
"It's okay, let's speed up. If you can arrive before noon, they will take care of it for you. Get in my car. ”
Well, at least you don't have to eat dirt. Xuanzang leaned on the back seat of the car, took a sip of water, and felt a little calmer. At least slowed down lead poisoning. "You see I can't run away, now it's convenient to reveal some information about buyers." He said to Liu Hong.
"I've sold so many slaves, it's the first time I've seen you so calm." Liu Hong shook his head with a smile, hesitated, and continued, "Actually, I don't know very well, those guys are very mysterious. ”
"Something to do with Heavenly Court?" Xuanzang asked. The Buddhas of the Western Heavens are obsessed with philosophy and reincarnation, and their research direction is more metaphysical. The immortals of the Heavenly Court preferred practical technology, and biological experiments belonged to their category.
"Heavenly Court? Of course not, how can we talk to the gods. I hadn't seen their faces, and the guys always wore hoods and robes, as if they lived underground, and they came out of the ground anyway. ”
Ground floor...... Is it a refuge? However, now they are heading south, and it is not the same direction as Fa Ming said. Xuanzang hurriedly lifted his spirit and continued to ask: "What else do they collect besides people like me?" ”
"Anything weird. I've been tasked with catching animals, and I've heard from another gang that they've sold babies, but ...... Exercise! ”
Liu Hong suddenly roared and slammed the steering wheel, and Xuanzang was thrown to the car door.
Just now, the sand in front of them instantly sank, revealing a hidden pit, and an off-road motorcycle that opened the road fell directly into it.
The car was able to avoid the big pit, and Xuanzang looked back to see that the motorcycle had been dismembered in a few seconds, throwing a large number of parts and stumps from the pit.
On both sides and behind them, sand shadows appeared on the ground, and the bulging sand shadows quickly outflanked them, and blue-black monsters jumped out of them.
They resemble lizards, fangs and claws, covered in hard scales, and are as fast as a convoy. A monster leaped high and jumped onto a rider's back, easily biting off his neck and spewing out a column of blood.
"Boss, it's a monster!" The riders screamed in horror.
