Under the interrogation of the fourth, the leader of the warriors completely gave up resistance and answered all questions.

They are similar to bounty hunters and mercenaries, most of them from the same settlement, about a hundred kilometers away from the crash of the rescue pod.

On the same day, the rescue capsule was hit by a missile in the air and crashed into the mountains and forests in this area. They were the closest bounty hunters, and when they saw the trajectory of the rescue pod, they immediately organized three troops to search for it, wanting to see if they could find something valuable.

Most of the technology level of this settlement is still at the level of the planet, and anything that can fall from the sky is a treasure, which can be taken to the city for money.

The city, according to his description, is a larger settlement, in which there is the largest trading market in the nearby area, where everything can be traded. The missile that shot down the rescue pod may have been fired from the city.

On this planet, or at least in this area, there is no government, no rulers, and each scattered settlement has to rely on its own power to make a living, and find a way to get the materials needed to survive. The largest force in the city, the organization that can get the necessary survival materials, is called the Blue Flag Army. The city seems to be only one of the strongholds of the Blue Flag Army, and they don't know where the Blue Flag Army's headquarters are.

Most settlements do not survive on their own, and they need an import of foreign supplies, including energy, medicine, ammunition, and some high-tech items. In exchange for these, women, children, prey and minerals from all over the world were exchanged.

As for the whereabouts of the other rescue pods, these people don't know anything. It seems that the crash site should be far away from here.

The leader's name was Orm, and the one who was tortured later was called Al, his daughter. There are about three or four hundred people in the settlement where Orm is located, and they have lived here for decades.

It's summer on the planet, and further north, you'll find the harsh plateaus, and the annual hurricane season is just around the corner.

After a brief discussion, Lin Xi decided to go to the settlement, occupy it first, and get more information and resources before deciding on his next move.

Orm has no room to refuse, especially when Four prepares to leave more wounds on his daughter's body.

The other hunters were picked up and escorted out of the forest, where their vehicles were parked. When the group walked out of the forest, they saw four all-terrain off-road vehicles parked in a clearing.

These cars have huge tires with non-slip treads all over the surface. Li Ruobai circled around one of the cars, knelt on the ground and looked at the bottom of the car, then opened the engine cover to look inside, and finally smelled the smell of fuel, and said, "I didn't expect to see this kind of antique." ”

"What?" Lin Xi asked.

"Diesel locomotives, using biofuels, were the technology of the home planet more than a thousand years ago. ”

"Can it be used?" Lin Xi didn't care about the technical level.

Li Ruobai assessed it and said, "It's not necessarily faster than us." ”

"Then get in the car. ”

After a few moments, the four off-road vehicles started up in turn and set off. No. 4 and Li Ruobai sat in the front car, escorting Orm to lead the way. The middle two are the surviving hunters. On the last car were Chu Jungui and Lin Xi, who were responsible for breaking off the rear and monitoring the hunters in the car in front at the same time.

In the middle of the process, a hunter tried to escape by jumping out of the car, and just as he jumped out of the fish, a bullet pierced his head before he could hit the ground. All the hunters have been honest since then.

The off-road vehicle is bumpy all the way, and the speed is not fast, and the speed can only be driven to about 10-15 kilometers per hour on this land with no roads. Fortunately, the off-road ability is strong enough, and most of the terrain types can be passed directly, even when passing a stream more than a meter deep, it is also directly driven.

The only thing that was unpleasant was that the smoke exhaust pipe of the off-road vehicle was billowing and very choking. Lin Xi only tried to smell it, and then silently turned on the filtration function of the respiratory system. And the hunters must have been used to it for a long time, and it seems that the oil smoke from their leather hunting suits should also come from this.

Chu Jungui had already scanned and analyzed the fuel of the off-road vehicle. The off-road vehicle uses biodiesel, which adds some exotic substances, mainly oxidants, to increase combustion efficiency and improve power performance. But at the cost of thick smoke.

After the first off-road vehicle, a suspended platform was towed, on which the necessary tools and equipment were piled up for dismantling from the camp.

A settlement with complete living conditions is better than a makeshift camp.

On the off-road vehicle, Lin Xi whispered: "I hate the way they look at me." ”

This is what she said through a private communication channel, and no one else will naturally hear it.

Chu Jungui also agreed, "They look at you like they're looking at food." ”

"Look at the food?" Lin Xi was puzzled.

Chu Jungui quickly found a few suitable words from the huge database: "It is greed, eagerness, impulsiveness, blood flow and rapid heartbeat, and the brain electrical signal is significantly enhanced, entering the high-frequency or even ultra-high-frequency area, which means an obvious state of excitement and impulsivity." This is the state when a person is starved and half dead and sees food and water. So I think, they want to eat you. ”

Lin Xi was silent for a moment before he said, "Are you serious?"

"Of course not. "Fortunately, Chu Jungui's tactical deception version is quite manageable.

"These guys should have blood on their hands. That's why I didn't stop Four. ”

"If it's about killing, it should be. I saw remnants of human tissue on the sabers of some of them. ”

Lin Xi sighed, didn't notice Chu Jungui's eyesight comparable to a scanning beam, and said, "In a strange planetary environment, in the face of people who are close to you, the first choice is to shoot and kill, and the second is to be disabled. And as we are now, any stranger who moves should be shot immediately. Only the dead are safe. ”

"What kind of charter is this?" Chu Jungui remembered several versions of the planetary survival code, and none of them contained this one.

"There is no charter, this is what my father and successive personal tutors told me when I was a child. ”

"Does it work? I mean, what's the justification for it?"

"I don't know if it's useful. But I've heard that the thirteen families of the Ring of Roses on the federal side have similar family mottos, but no one will say it publicly. ”

"What about Sheng Tang?"

"It's the same in the family and the pillars of the country. ”

"When I was teaching you, did you say why?" asked Chu Jungui.

"The mentors said that in the currently known star fields, although there are only human beings, the area we occupy is a very small piece of the entire galaxy, and we don't know what the galaxies outside the galaxy are like. Even in the known star fields, no one knows exactly how many planets we humans occupy and where our footprints have been distributed. Sometimes when news comes back from the most marginal planet to its home planet, it's decades or even hundreds of years later. And from one end of the star field to the other, the message will go on the road for a longer time. ”

"In other words, when we set foot on a strange planet, we don't know what kind of people we might be facing?"

"We don't even know if they're still people. Lin Xi said.
