There is no shortage of ruins in the wilderness.

How glorious was once civilization.

How lost the ruins are now.

These once-glorious places have become nests for scavengers and wild beasts.

However, the ruins are not completely worthless, and some ruins can not only dig up the wisdom of previous civilizations, but also directly dig up tools and even weapons from the mysterious ancient era of technology.

People often prefer to refer to such places as ruins.

The wilderness of the south is vast and sparsely populated, full of dangers, and in some places full of opportunities.

One of them, Shataba, is a mountain of ruins, and there are many inspirational stories of lucky people who picked up legendary weapons and rose to the sky, many of which have been exaggerated and even interpreted into different versions.

But for the scavengers who live here.

These stories are the beacon of life.

So they were convinced of it, they were convinced that it was a place of miracles that could change their fate, so thousands of scavengers gathered here.

However, because of the gathering of nearly 10,000 scavengers, this already complex environment has become a breeding ground for crime, where looting and killing occur every day, and it is also a hunting ground for wild beast hunting, and a large number of weak scavengers die every day.

But it's very dangerous, and there are always people who insist on it.

The boy Gray Rabbit and his sister Worm are one of them.

Wilderness sometimes has names that can be used to represent abilities.

Seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys will be called Gray Rabbit by such strange names, mainly because the boy runs as fast as a rabbit, and his skin looks gray and black, so people call him Gray Rabbit, the gray rabbit who escaped.

The gray rabbit has a sister who is about the same age as him, the little worm is naturally small, thin and weak, although the age is about the same as the gray rabbit, but it looks like he is only in his early tens, and he is very timid, so he is called the little worm, the timid little worm.

The two are undoubtedly the lowest-level scavengers in the wilderness, they dare not conflict with people, dare not fight with people, and dare not go to crowded places, but this world is so wonderful, even if it is weak, even if it is an ant in the crack of the stone, it can find its own way of survival.

The strong have the way of life of the strong, and the weak have the way of life of the weak.

Sometimes the strong don't necessarily live longer than the weak.

None of the Grey Rabbit siblings had the ability to hunt, and their main way of making a living was to dig up ruins, a large stretch of open-air ruins that were once a huge manufacturing base in the old days, where all kinds of machinery could be produced, and even after thousands of years, some things remained undamaged.

The grey rabbit can dig up some intact parts through the ruins, and they will secretly hide these parts, he is not only very good at running, but also very smart, like a cunning rabbit, always putting his possessions in different places.

Worm is different from her brother, Worm is very weak and can't move heavy things, but she has a talent that no one can match, she has a high talent for machines, although she has not undergone any training, but she can observe and study the excavated antiquities and drawings, and then use parts to assemble a variety of relatively complete parts.

The division of labor between the two is very simple.

The elder brother Grey Rabbit is in search of useful parts and materials, while the younger sister Worm is responsible for assembling new parts and eventually bringing them to the camp to sell, so that the value of the parts themselves can be increased several times.

That's how they survived.

As long as there is a way to make a living, weakness itself is not fatal.

The dream of the two is to dig up a treasure of sufficient weight, so that they can change their fate like the legendary predecessors in countless inspirational stories, and live in a safer city of Shataba from now on.

These scavengers know nothing about the world further afield.

They see Shataba as the center of the world.

Shataba City is the safest place in the world.

............

The worm successfully completed another work.

This thing looks like an ugly insect.

The insect was wound with complex wiring on its surface, and when the insect connected the wiring to a homemade broken battery, several propellers creaked, and the ugly metal insect slowly flew into the air.

"Great!" Grey Rabbit was very happy, "this thing must be able to change a piece of stinky rat meat!"

The little insect wiped the beads of sweat and breathed a sigh of relief, both of them had not tasted meat for several days, and the small flying machine could be exchanged for a piece of meat, so it was worth it for so many days of hardship.

The two of them took out dirty cloth and wrapped the ugly iron insects.

They hope to find the Wilderness Merchant who came to buy it as soon as possible.

Whether you can eat meat or not depends on this transaction.

The camp was actually very small, not so much a camp as a small temporary stronghold for people to exchange supplies, because there was not a single decent dwelling here, and the people gathered in it were only three or two hundred at most.

"Stop!"

When the gray rabbit and the little worm sneaked into here, a big man with a full face came over and stopped directly in front of the two, the two saw that their faces changed greatly, and the gray rabbit hurriedly told the little worm to go quickly, but the little worm just turned around, and there were two fierce men with knives standing behind him.

The gray rabbit drew his short sword and shouted in a trembling voice: "What are you doing!"

"What are you doing?" the leader walked over with a sinister smile, "I heard that you two pieces of waste can always make some strange things, so take them out for us today!"

The little worm hugged the cloth bag in his arms, and the gray rabbit shouted angrily: "Don't think!"

"You think Lao Tzu is discussing with you?"

The gray rabbit didn't even see it clearly.

With a pain in his wrist, the dagger was knocked away and broken in two on the ground.

The gray rabbit tried to turn his head and run away, but was kicked over, and then picked up by the opponent with one hand.

"Here you go, it's all for you!" Worm screamed in horror, and she hurriedly handed over the cloth bag: "You let go of my brother!"

"You want him to live, no, no!" the leader looked at the little worm's thin body, "Although it's not expected, but it's a woman, if you serve our brothers comfortably every day in the future, and then work for us honestly, we can spare his life." ”

The gray rabbit shouted, "Don't!"

The leader was so angry that he slapped out several of the gray rabbit's teeth.

The little worm was wiped out and said, "I'll go, I'll go, I'll go with you!"

"That's what it sounds like. ”

The leader smiled sinisterly, waved his hand to his subordinates, and the two of them were about to catch the worm in the past, but at this moment, a voice came from behind.

"You are not small, you dare to touch my Sand Tiger guests!"

The three wilderness thugs were stunned for a moment, and then looked over with fear on their faces.

A young man dressed completely different from the scavenger walked out, this young man looked to be no more than thirty years old, tall, shaved head, various metal ornaments and equipment from head to toe, wearing spider-like retractable machine armor, and he was accompanied by a large masked man.

Sure enough, it's a sand tiger!

The faces of the three wilderness thugs changed!

The sand tiger is not an ordinary person, and no one knows its specific origin.

The sand tiger is from Shataba City, and even in Shataba City, he has a high status.

This guy often comes to the camp every once in a while, and buys all kinds of parts dug up by the scavengers with food or weapons, so he has a high prestige among the scavengers, he never bullies these scavengers, and he is quite fair, so the scavengers are willing to trade with him.

The gray rabbit bug has traded with the sand tiger a dozen times.

The leader was annoyed: "Nosy!"

Shahu smiled and said: "They are my long-term trading partners, if you arrest them, I will suffer losses, and things related to my own interests, how can I be nosy? ”

"What do you think you are!" the leader clenched his fists and roared, "You dare to be arrogant to Lao Tzu here?

The wilderness people are like that.

If you don't agree, you will be killed.

Life is so cheap.

The background of the sand tiger is not simple? Hmph, no matter what background he has, it's a big deal to kill and grab the light, and then pat his ass and fly away, no matter how much background he has, what can he do to them?

"What a death!"

The masked man behind the sand tiger suddenly took a step forward and blocked in front of the sand tiger, and the knives of the two thugs slashed at it, only two piercing crisp sounds were heard, and the clothes were torn out of the gap, but metal traces were revealed from the inside.

"What is this?!"

When the two were frightened.

The big man struck with two punches like lightning, and the heads of the two people were broken apart like watermelons, and the broken skulls and brain tissues were splashed all over the ground, and the leader's face changed greatly, and he could already see that the guy next to Shahu was not a living person at all, but a huge machine monster.

He screamed and was about to flee.

A deafening gunshot.

The leader looked desperately at the piercing chest.

This was obviously the fate he never dreamed of.

"How dare you be rampant with such a little ability?" Shahu blew the muzzle of the super-large caliber revolver in his hand, and then walked up to the two of them: "I've been observing you for a while, you two seem to have some ability, but it's just too weak, if you continue to stay in this place, sooner or later you will be killed, it's better to follow me in the future, and I'll take you to Shataba City." ”

Both were shocked.

"But we don't have the qualifications to enter Shataba yet. ”

Shataba City is the largest wilderness city here, and it's not impossible for scavengers like them to want to enter it, but they have to pay a staggering amount of money first, and then they have to pay regular taxes every month, which they can't do under the current conditions.

"Haha, it was different before, now in Shataba City, my father Sha Viper is the city lord, now I have the final say!" Sha Hu made no secret of his identity, "As long as you two follow me, Shataba will reuse yours!"

The son of the lord of the city?

When did Shataba change the city lord?

(There is a chapter in the front, because when it was updated, it was accidentally misplaced and divided, so it may be that some book friends may not see it.) It should be "The Changes in the Oasis in Chapter 8", although it has little to do with the plot, but if there are book friends who missed it, you can look back. ）
