Chapter 1: The Abandoned Adjutant

Next Chapter

Hong Yi likes to look up at the starry sky, the deep night and the bright starlight, which can make people forget their troubles for a while, and can also fantasize about what you want but can't get, or recall the good things in the past, but no matter how far your thoughts fly, there are times to return to reality.

The most important thing for people is to live down-to-earth and look forward.

This is the survival experience that Hong Yi summed up, he withdrew his gaze from the sky, and then continued to search for useful supplies in the mountains of stinking garbage.

It is now the 73rd year of the new era calendar, and more than 70 years ago, the human world suffered an unprecedented catastrophe, one night, countless meteorites fell from the sky to break the original peaceful life of human beings, meteorites shattered cities, roads, bridges, and this is only the beginning of the real terrible disaster.

Meteorites carry something, some kind of virus, and when humans are infected, their bodies mutate, and they become something else, creatures that originally existed only in the imagination and myths of humans, they are cruel, bloodthirsty, and have lost their original consciousness, and this is the root of the catastrophe.

In the human textbooks of the New Era, this virus is called the 'prototype', and the infected humans have mutated and become mutants, and for the past 70 years, humans have been competing with mutants for the dominance of the planet.

This knowledge is known to the human beings in Gathering Place No. 7, whether it is the human elite in the rich areas or the toiling masses in the slums. But for Hong Yi, who has never left Base 7, survival is whether he can find valuable things from the garbage heap every day to sell for money, as for the terrifying mutants mentioned in the books, they have little to do with Hong Yi.

Hong Yi is picking up garbage at an open-air garbage dump in the outer slums.

There are more than 100,000 people in the rich area, and the garbage generated every day is definitely a huge number, as a person living at the bottom of the slum, rummaging through the garbage heap to find things that can be exchanged for money is something he must do every day.

Some parts, rare metals, usable circuit boards and batteries, dirty but wearable clothes, toothbrushes, and even some expired medicines, as long as they are useful, are Hong Yi's targets. If you're lucky, you can get something that means a lot to Hong Yi.

Relying on collecting garbage and selling garbage, Hong Yi can get some new dollars every day, maybe seven or eight yuan, sometimes a little more, but it will not exceed twenty yuan, Hong Yi will save up some of it, and the rest of the money is only enough to buy a few dirty fried meat patties from Master Tian in the slums to fill his stomach, or be a little more extravagant, spend a few more yuan to have a big bowl of hot meat dumplings in the small restaurant next door.

Thinking of food, Hong Yi felt that his saliva was overflowing from his mouth, and his empty stomach was also burned by gastric juice.

At this time, Hong Yi touched the part connected to the back of his head and his spine, and in the back of his head, there were several diamond-shaped metal pieces inlaid along the spine, and the indicator light on the metal sheet was off at this moment.

The value of the adjutant brain is undoubtedly huge, in the textbook, it is a cross-era invention, which can be connected with the human brain, so as to assist in controlling the human body, stimulate the human body with special nerve signals, improve the body's strength, speed and reflex nerves, and even, by stimulating a certain mysterious area of the brain, so that human beings have the power to control the elements.

To put it simply, a good adjutant brain can turn an ordinary person into a superman. And after importing some knowledge data, you can also turn people into erudite scholars, and import combat programs, you can become powerful warriors.

And the vast majority of lieutenants can strengthen the human body to some extent, delay the aging of body organs, and reduce dependence on ordinary food.

In the early stage of the cataclysm, humanity was defeated by the attack of mutants, and after the development and large-scale use of the Adjutant Brain, it gave humanity a breathing time.

Hong Yi's adjutant Zhi Brain was implanted in him when his father was still there, and Hong Yi still remembers the events of that night very clearly, and after implanting his adjutant Zhi Brain, his father left the gathering place and never came back, and has disappeared since.

This adjutant brain belongs to the earliest generation of products, which cannot absorb bioelectric energy from the inside of the human body to operate, but requires an external battery. But with the disappearance of his father, Hong Yi's originally wealthy life suddenly fell to the bottom, not only was he kicked out of the rich area, but his adjutant Zhinao had stopped working because of lack of energy four years ago.

And even the earliest generation of products are very strong in price on the black market, but Hong Yi never thought of selling his adjutant Zhinao, because this is the only thing his father left him.

It represents a fond memory.

Memories, how can they be sold?

At this moment, the backpack has been filled with all kinds of garbage, in addition, Hong Yi is also carrying a tough sack in his hand to hold things, today he not only got a lot of valuable things, but also found some mechanical parts he needed.

For the past year, Hong Yi has been assembling his own mechanical dog.

The so-called mechanical dog,It's a kind of combat robot.,There's a special battle game for mechanical dogs in the gathering place.,If you win, you can make a lot of money.,This is a plan of Hong Yi.,Use the parts found in the garbage dump to assemble a mechanical dog to participate in the black market competition.,And then make money.,Change your fate.。

Now Hong Yi's mechanical dog has been assembled 90 percent, and only a few parts are needed to assemble it.

At this time, a thing swept by Hong Yi's eyes, looking for valuable items on the messy garbage mountain, has become one of his abilities.

What Hong Yi saw was a mass of sticky dirt, mixed with a lot of garbage, and only one corner was exposed, which was inconspicuous.

But even so, Hong Yi still recognized what it was.

"It's the adjutant Zhibrain!" Hong Yi's heart jumped, and he immediately rushed over and carefully turned the thing out of the messy garbage heap.

It was an adjutant brain about fifteen centimeters long, with six metal plates and numerous nerve tentacles.

Erasing the dirt from it, Hong Yi confirmed his discovery.

The appearance and model of this adjutant Zhi Brain Hong Yi has never seen it, it is estimated that it is a relatively new model, even if it is damaged, it can be exchanged for a lot of money, if it is not damaged, then it can be used by himself.

Hong Yi was very excited, he had been picking up garbage in the garbage dump for several years, and it was the first time he found the abandoned adjutant Zhi Brain, not only himself, but also never heard of others finding it.

It can be seen that this thing is precious, even in the rich area, it is also an important object, and the entire gathering place has very strict control over the adjutant Zhinao, because this thing belongs to strategic materials.

I didn't expect that I was lucky today, and I picked up one for nothing.

Hong Yi was quite excited, looked around, no one found it, so he carefully hid this adjutant Zhi Brain in his pocket, with this big harvest, he planned to stop here today.

Carrying a bulging backpack and a sack in his hand, Hong Yi skillfully ran down the garbage mountain, and several people who were also picking up garbage saw Hong Yi and said hello.

People who often pick up garbage know each other, and there are also organizations, different organizations are only allowed to pick up garbage in specific areas, this is the rule of the slum, Hong Yi is an old man who picks up garbage, and many people are familiar with it.

"Brother Yi, how is the harvest today?" A dark-skinned, seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy saw Hong Yi coming down and hurriedly greeted him.

"It's okay, there's no one in that area above, you go pick it up!" After Hong Yi finished speaking, the young man thanked him and climbed up excitedly.

Among these garbage pickers, Hong Yi is a celebrity, and he is also very respected. In the slums, if a person wants to gain respect, the only way is to show force and tell others that he is not to be messed with. In the past year, Hong Yi has knocked down at least seven or eight people who have grabbed land with him, and won the priority and status of this garbage dump with his fists, but no one else is allowed to pick up garbage within 30 meters of him.

So even if that young man is one or two years older than Hong Yi, he is respectful in front of Hong Yi.

Not to mention the swarthy young man who rushed to the garbage heap excitedly, it is only said that Hong Yi left the garbage dump with his loot, turned around, and arrived at an alley in the slum.

This is the nearest 'shopping street', but even then, there are only a few that are lit, and most of them are lit with torches.

Unlike the wealthy, the power supply in the slums is very tight, and at night, the slums, which house millions of poor people, are mostly dark from a distance.

There are people on this street who specialize in buying things found from the garbage dump, and Hong Yi knows a garbage dealer who is called Mad Dog.

Mad Dog's surname is Zhang, a man in his twenties, his right hand was cut off a few years ago, and he almost died at that time, but when he reappeared a few days later, the severed right hand had been replaced by a mechanical arm, and he killed the enemy's family, and the enemy and the other party's family were dismantled.

In this area, everyone knows about mad dogs.

Hong Yi and Mad Dog have known each other for several years, when Hong Yi was kicked out of the rich area, it was Mad Dog who helped him, at that time, Mad Dog was not called Mad Dog, and the relationship between the two was similar to that of a brother. It's just that few people know that the mad dog was cut off by someone, and it was Hong Yi who secretly dragged him back, treated him to stop the bleeding, and installed an abandoned mechanical arm, and a few days later, the mad dog killed the enemy's family.

But after that night, Hong Yi and Mad Dog parted ways and went their separate ways, because Mad Dog killed his opponent's six-year-old son at that time.

Hong Yi felt that seeking revenge was not as guilty as his family, let alone a child, and the mad dog said that cutting grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows.

So the two who were like brothers quarreled and broke up from then on.

Later, Mad Dog joined a gang in the slums, relying on metal arms and a crazy ruthlessness to form a small leader, responsible for the purchase of this piece of garbage, Hong Yi is still living a life of picking up garbage, and when he gets garbage, he goes to Mad Dog to sell it, but he doesn't say a word, just like strangers.

Mad Dog's shop is not big, and there are two sturdy men sitting against the wall at the door, and they didn't pay attention to Hong Yi after seeing him, because Hong Yi comes to sell garbage every day, and he is already very familiar, or Mad Dog has specially confessed, so he didn't interrogate.

Entering the shop, a thin monkey-like guy wearing a tattered vest was dozing off on the table, the mad dog was not there, he should be sleeping behind the shop at this point, Hong Yi also came when the mad dog was not there.

He didn't want to see mad dogs.

Hong Yi put the sack in his hand on the counter with a bang, and made a noise, and the thin guy who was sleeping was suddenly awakened and was about to scold, but when he saw that it was Hong Yi, he immediately swallowed the dirty words and put on a smiling face.

"Isn't this Brother Yi, you've got something good again?"

This thin guy is a subordinate of Mad Dog, and he has been with Mad Dog for a few years, and he knows that Hong Yi has an unusual relationship with Mad Dog, so although Hong Yi is younger than him, he is also a brother and brother, and he is very enthusiastic.
