Chapter 3: The Rising Sun Martial Arts Hall
Once the number of mutated creatures reaches a critical point, they will erupt into chaos due to a lack of food, which is the smell of the beast tide. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the earth today, there is a large-scale beast tide every ten years, and the last beast tide broke out nine years ago.
At that time, Wu Xie's parents took his young brother out to see a doctor, but the beast tide suddenly broke out, and Wu Xie's family never returned, and if he hadn't been adopted by a couple, I was afraid that Wu Xie would have starved to death.
The couple who adopted Wu Xie had passed away a few years ago because they were too old, and Wu Xie can now be said to be unaccompanied.
He just turned fifteen years old this year, and in order to survive, Wu Xie came out to work at a very young age to earn money to support himself.
It is precisely because of this reason that Wu Xie did not participate in the entrance examination of the quasi-martial arts school, because even if he can be admitted, he can't afford the high tuition fees, and all Wu Xie can do is to finish the basic courses in a public school with low tuition fees.
Compared with Wu Xie, Li Hu's family conditions are much better, he has two large supermarkets at home, and Li Hu has never worried about life since he was a child.
After the family became rich, Li Hu's father had high expectations for Li Hu, and he was very eager for his son to be admitted to a quasi-martial arts school and then become a martial artist.
In this way, their whole family can move into the safest core city to live, and they no longer need to worry about the beast tide that breaks out every ten years.
In a sense, the sixteen acropolis in the Central Plains settlement area are all slums, and the people here are basically the lowest level of society, and most of them are not qualified to enter the relatively safe main city and core city to settle, and every time the beast tide breaks out, the deaths and injuries of the residents of the acropolis are very heavy.
If you want to get rid of this fate, there are only two ways, the first is that someone in your family becomes a warrior, and then through the preferential treatment given to the warrior by the state, the family will move to the core city to live.
Warriors are the cornerstone of human existence, and if there were no warriors to resist powerful mutated creatures, humanity would have perished long ago.
Therefore, in today's human society, the warrior has a very high status, if an ordinary person has a conflict with a warrior, as long as the warrior's reason is sufficient, even if he kills the ordinary people, he does not have to bear any legal responsibility.
The second way is to spend money to buy the corpses of mutated creatures and give them to the state in exchange for contribution points. As long as the contribution points reach a certain value, you can move to the relatively safe main city and core city to live.
The body of mutant creatures contains some rare elements, and by refining these rare elements, you can obtain some resources necessary for human survival.
For example, there is a valuable metal called "super alloy", which has a stronger hardness than titanium alloy, but is much lighter than titanium alloy, and it can be widely used in the manufacture of various weapons and equipment, thereby providing more powerful protection and combat effectiveness for warriors.
Since the earth's resources have been depleted, the body of mutated organisms is currently the largest way for humans to obtain resources.
In addition, the meat of mutated creatures can also be eaten.
There are only a few places on the polluted planet where food can be grown, and this little food production is simply not enough to supply the needs of all mankind, and without the meat of mutated organisms to provide food for humans, humanity will fall into a situation of starvation.
The living conditions of the warriors are very superior, not only because of the generous treatment given to them by the major empires, but also because they can go to the wilderness area to hunt mutated creatures, and then exchange the corpses of mutated creatures for high rewards.
So in today's human society, the best way to get ahead is to become a martial artist, as for spending money to buy the corpses of mutated creatures in exchange for contribution points, this is really not something that ordinary rich people can do.
Wu Xie exchanged a few more words with Li Hu, and then waved goodbye to Li Hu.
Li Hu looked at Wu Xie's back as he disappeared into the crowd, and couldn't help but sigh slightly and shake his head, he was obviously feeling sorry for the plight of this good buddy.
Wu Xie and Li Hu separated and walked all the way, if you carefully observe his posture when walking, you will find that his walking movements are a little peculiar, others walk with their heels or soles of their feet first, but Wu Xie is different, he walks with his toes landing on the ground first.
This posture is exactly the same as the steps taken by the models, Wu Xie is of course not doing this to practice the model steps, he wants to use this to exercise the strength of his feet.
If people want to run or bounce, they need their feet to provide power, and exercising in this way can greatly improve the speed and bounce of running.
This is a training method that Wu Xie has figured out by himself, and the others have no idea that this seemingly thin teenager still has such a mind and perseverance.
Ten minutes later, Wu Xie came to the door of a martial arts hall.
At the door of the martial arts hall, there is a golden plaque, which is inlaid with four big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing: "Rising Sun Martial Arts Hall".
The Rising Sun Martial Arts Hall is one of the places where Wu Xie works, and he has been working here for six years.
Wu Xie entered the Rising Sun Martial Arts Gym when he was nine years old, and it stands to reason that he is still a minor, and the Martial Arts Gym should not hire him.
However, in this era, there was no such thing as a ban on child labor, and after the war of annihilation, all the major empires of the world adopted a policy of survival of the fittest, and the so-called "protection of the rights and interests of the weak" was abandoned for many years.
No way, in today's world, where there is a serious shortage of living materials, it is already very good that everyone can not starve to death, where is the ability to take care of those who are weak?
The Rising Sun Martial Arts Hall was opened by a martial artist named Liu Xuri, who was a mid-level dark strength martial artist who was only forty years old this year.
According to the research of scientists, the life expectancy of ordinary human beings is generally more than 100 years old, and the life span of martial artists can reach 200 years old due to the great development of life potential.
Generally, a martial artist of Liu Xuri's age will go to the wilderness area to hunt mutant creatures, because only by experiencing actual combat again and again can the strength of martial artists be rapidly improved, and they can also get extremely rich rewards through this, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
The reason why Liu Xuri opened a martial arts hall in the Acropolis was because he lost an arm when he went to the wilderness area to hunt mutated creatures a few years ago.
Although he spent a lot of money to transplant a new arm, this arm was transplanted from someone else, and naturally it was not as flexible as the original arm in his body, which caused his strength to be greatly damaged.
