Volume 1 The Last Earth Chapter 3 The Gathering Place of Mankind
Chu Gang, who was hanging in a corner, felt that the mysterious existence attached to his body controlled his body, and he stood silent, he was uneasy in his heart, and he didn't dare to disturb, while he had to be careful to restrain his thoughts to avoid provoking that person, he was very bitter.
Liu Xingchen felt Chu Gang's thoughts, and suddenly had a plan.
"Chu Gang, right, now there are two choices: one is that I will destroy you casually, so that I can control this body, and don't think that I will take care of those people, I am not so idle; The second is that you work for me, I don't care who you want to take care of, as long as you can handle my business well, which one do you choose now? ”
For Chu Gang, Liu Xingchen appreciates the light of humanity on his body, he can resist the erosion of bird and insect consciousness without sinking, this person is still somewhat useful, and he also has earthling blood similar to himself, so he gave him a chance.
Chu Gang was not a stupid person, and immediately made a wise choice:
"My subordinates are willing to work for adults!" The attitude was very decisive, if it weren't for the lack of body, he would definitely kneel down on one knee facing Liu Xingchen and make a standard knightly allegiance salute that was popular among the Protoss.
"Very well, then this weak body will be rewarded to you, but I will have to stay for a while."
Liu Xingchen didn't blush and rewarded the things that were originally other people's things, in fact, according to his current life level, whether he has this body has little impact on him, and when he recovers a little, he can easily create a body that is ten million times stronger than this, and it fits himself perfectly.
"Originally, my body was good."
Chu Gang subconsciously muttered, completely forgetting that Liu Xingchen could feel his thoughts, and he still said it, but Liu Xingchen didn't care about it.
Soon, Chu Gang found that he could regain control of his body, and the feeling of having a body made him excited, and he tossed for a while with his left fist and right foot like a second fool.
"Not only is the injury completely healed, but the physical qualities such as speed and strength have also improved a lot, and I have directly reached the level of a god of war from an intermediate general."
Chu Gang sighed after adapting to the changes in his body, and at the same time he was even more in awe of Liu Xingchen, this existence was even more mysterious and powerful than he imagined.
"You can feel the change carefully."
Liu Xingchen reminded that he wanted to know what difference his transformation would make for the evolutionary after removing the bird insects.
Chu Gang carefully felt the changes in his body, and he felt that something seemed to be missing from his whole body, as if he had broken free from an invisible shackle, giving him an indescribable pleasure.
Then Chu Gang tried to urge his ability - the finger blade, which is his hole card, which can form a sharp blade of about ten centimeters on the middle finger of both hands, which can cut gold and jade, and the finger blade is also very fast, and because his weapon is a pair of short blades, no one has ever discovered his ability, including those closest to him, who think he has no ability, after all, the ability is not the standard for evolutionaries.
"What is this?"
Chu Gang was stunned and looked at the sword-shaped blade that was more than two feet long protruding from his hand, and the sharp edge of the blade was shining with a quiet luster, making people have no doubt about its power, which is this blade, Du Nima has become a hand (cheap) sword.
Someone snickered in the dark, this was the cell weapon he temporarily loaded for Chu Gang, which was much stronger than the half-hung weapon derived from the bird and insect originally.
And Chu Gang also found that after he activated the ability, except for some fatigue, there were no side effects, once his ability was activated, not only did his physical fitness drop significantly, but also had a tyrannical mood, which gave him the urge to kill everything, and it took a long time to calm down, so unless it was a special circumstance, he rarely used his ability.
"Alright, now the task is to find a suitable body for me as soon as possible." After the basic situation was understood, Liu Xingchen gave the first order, and it would be more convenient to move with the body and better blend into the world.
"My lord, how about this?"
Chu Gang pointed to Qin Song's corpse on the ground, he did not regret killing Qin Song, on the contrary, he was glad to kill the other party so that his relatives could avoid being harmed, but for Qin Song, who had been with him for many years, he still had some guilt, because he did not educate the other party well.
"No, this one is too weak, weaker than you, and it's been dead for a long time, and it's troublesome to transform."
Liu Xingchen can actually use this corpse to build a body, just use it as a material, no matter how long he has been dead, as long as he is not completely corrupted, it doesn't matter, but there are too few materials available, he doesn't want to make a weak body come out, and he will lower his quality in vain.
Feeling Chu Gang's mood swings, Liu Xingchen added: "Don't think about it so much, in fact, this Qin Song you killed is no longer him, his consciousness has almost been eroded." ”
At the same time, the relevant information about the bird insect and his speculation were also passed on to Chu Gang, anyway, as his subordinates, these would be clear sooner or later.
"Is this true?"
After receiving this information, Chu Gang's worldview was about to collapse, although he himself did not believe in the set of alien theories, but he always thought that he had evolved, and it turned out that he was actually just parasitic assimilation, could it be that those powerful people were all terminal patients? The so-called power belongs to itself is an illusion, and the evolutionary is just a puppet of the worm, which he can't accept for a while, but the detailed information, reasonable conclusions, and what he has seen and heard make him have to believe that these are true.
"Go ahead with the mission, these birds and insects on the earth can't be cleaned up, and I won't allow them to continue to exist."
Liu Xingchen took action to suppress Chu Gang's thinking fluctuations and forcibly calmed him down.
"Yes, sir."
Thinking that his good brother Qin Song only changed after being infected by that bird, it was not his nature, Chu Gang felt a lot better, and secretly decided to follow the adults to clean up all the birds and insects in the world.
"What do you think of this, my lord?"
Chu Gang looked at the corpse of the blade mantis on the side, thinking that its strength was higher than that of the God of War, and it should be able to meet the needs of adults, and then Chu Gang felt a tingling pain in his brain, as if his head was about to explode, and then a cold message came into his mind.
"Hmph, a humble insect corpse, I'll replace it for you if you think it's suitable!"
"Go back and look for it, and call me boss in the future, I'll rest for a while and don't bother me."
Liu Xingchen went offline after giving the order, no, he went to rest.
"Yes, big... Exceptional"
Chu Gang picked up the corpse of the blade mantis and walked towards the human gathering place, not that he really wanted to become a worm, but that this thing could be sold for a lot of money.
As for Qin Song's corpse, even if he digs a pit and buries it, it will be dug up and eaten by the strange beasts that will come soon, and there will be no bones left, so it is better to put it there and return to nature with the help of the beast's belly, which is also the fate of most people in this era.
Shaking the mountain city for the god king of the king of the mountain to establish the city, near the East China Sea, is a huge city covering an area of hundreds of square kilometers, by the boulder and reinforced concrete of the city wall up to 100 meters, the thinnest part of the city wall also has a thickness of more than ten meters, a proper Xiongguan, it is said that it has a history of thousands of years, the city buried under the city do not know how many white bones.
There are no high-level alien races for hundreds of kilometers around Shaking Mountain City, only some middle- and low-level alien insects and beasts, because this is the territory of the Protoss, like this giant city, there are thirteen Protoss, distributed in various places, which means that there are thirteen Protoss kings.
Although there are no too powerful alien races in the Protoss' sphere of influence, it does not mean that everyone here lives happily and well-being, in fact, it is the life of a very small number of people.
There are hundreds of large and small gathering places around Shaking Mountain City, and there are a large number of middle and low-level evolutionaries and even larger numbers of ordinary people living in the gathering places.
These settlements are generally unnamed, because it is not known when a tide of beasts will flood the gathering area, and then a new gathering place will appear.
It was almost evening, and in a nameless gathering place, Chu Gang walked all the way with a huge blade mantis corpse, attracting everyone's attention, and someone greeted him:
"Awesome, Lao Chu, it's a big harvest again"
Some want to recruit him:
"What are you thinking about Brother Chu, do you want to join us, Brother Qin has already agreed yesterday, didn't he mention it to you?"
Chu Gang replied briefly or excused himself, strode to the only store in the center of the gathering place, and walked in.
"Plop"
Chu Gang threw the blade mantis corpse on the ground, and soon a shopkeeper greeted him with a smile:
"Warrior-level blade mantis, oops, Brother Chu is a big harvest again."
"Make a price."
Chu Gang said succinctly, he knew that there was a relationship in the city behind this shop, and he was able to monopolize the operation in this gathering place, often keeping the price very low, and it was roughly the same when going to other gathering places, unless he encountered some caravans that came and went, he could sell it higher, but the corpse could not be left for a long time.
The shopkeeper put away his professional smile and began to bargain:
"You're just a beginner-level blade mantis, it seems that you've just advanced, and the insect body is too damaged, you see that the left limb has been lost, so 300 is collected, either stay, or you resist again"
The shopkeeper counted the shortcomings of the goods while touching the mustache, and pressed the price down, after all, the more he pressed, the bigger his tap, and of course he also controlled a degree to avoid the price being too low and scaring people away.
300 yuan is too low, Chu Gang thought that his blade mantis definitely has the rank of a general, and the conservative valuation is 600 yuan, and the price is pressed by 5%.
Chu Gang made a counteroffer, and at the same time released his momentum and immediately put it away.
"300 yuan is too low, you can take a look"
Feeling the breath of Chu Gang's God of War level, the shopkeeper became serious, the God of War can be crowned a nobleman in the God Clan and establish the existence of a family, although the forces behind him are not afraid of a god of war, but he is a mid-level shopkeeper of a war general, and there is no need to offend a god of war.
"It's because I'm blind, how about 500 yuan?" The shopkeeper immediately returned a relatively high price, his smile was much more sincere, and he also explained in a low voice that this was the highest price he could give, and no matter how high it was, he would not be the master.
"600 yuan, no less"
Chu Gang continued to bargain.
In the end, they reached a deal with 550 yuan, and Chu Gang added another 450 yuan in exchange for 500 catties of grain, which is the currency unit circulating in the Protoss, and its value is linked to gold.
This price is twice as high as the actual purchasing power of one dollar, but grain is a monopoly business, and the price is uniform everywhere, and no one dares to sell it at another price, and those who violate it will be put to death.
Chu Gang spent another 20 yuan to replace it with a new set of inferior combat uniforms, the inferior combat uniforms were only made of the skins of ordinary beasts, and the defensive power would be higher than cotton clothes, but the high-grade combat uniforms were worth thousands and he couldn't afford to consume them.
Then Chu Gang walked out of the store with two large bags of grain on his shoulder, and went straight to the far edge of the west side of the gathering place, where his home was.
