Chapter Sixty-Eight: A Temptation, a Forged Place
Seeing the deputy director stretch out his hand, Lin Xu hurriedly shook the deputy director's hand, and said excitedly, "Yes, deputy director, I will definitely do my best to protect the Hope Gathering Place." ”
It is also a special meaning that the chemical plant here is called a gathering place of hope, and why it is named hope is to give hope to everyone, and hope that the future will be beautiful.
At the same time, it is also a psychological comfort and gives people hope.
When Lin Xu saw the two big words of hope written on the door, his heart was also slightly warm.
The more desperate people are, the more they must give themselves hope, so that they will have hope and the motivation to live.
It is precisely because of various considerations that Liu Zhenguo is in the name of hope.
Some people didn't think about it, they wanted to survive in the last days, and it would be good to be alive, so what's the use of fixing all these fancy shelves.
But when the stranger who went out returned, and saw the big hope in front of the door, his heart would settle down.
Those ordinary people also have the motivation to live because they often see these two words, and they no longer eat and wait for death every day, and they will more or less find something to do.
The gathering place is also a little more vibrant.
Everyone wants this to be a place of hope.
Lin Xu briefly shook hands with the deputy director again, and then separated.
Just as the two of them parted their hands, a wind blade came straight at Lin Xu's door.
Lin Xu's eyes contracted for a while, the blue light in his right eye flowed, and his right hand held the handle of the Qilin knife on his waist, pulled it out, and slashed it out, splitting the wind blade apart.
Lin Xu's sharp eyes stared in the direction that the wind blade came from, "Captain Tang, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Haha, don't mind, young man, I just want to test your strength. Although I believe what Yaxin said, hearing is better than seeing it. It also aroused my curiosity, and I just couldn't hold back it for a while, and I was really embarrassed. ”
Tang Lei smiled apologetically.
Lin Xu saw Tang Lei's apologetic face, his eyes were sincere, and his tense mind relaxed.
Before Lin Xu could speak, Zhou Yaxin's dissatisfied voice rang out, "Uncle Tang, how can you be like this, Lin Xu just arrived at the gathering place and didn't prepare a gift, and he made a sneak attack, really, ignore you." ”
"Lin Xu, are you okay!"
Zhou Yaxin complained about Tang Lei, and then cared about Lin Xu again.
Lin Xu said with a smile, "I'm fine, but my Tang knife doesn't seem to be usable." ”
Lin Xu didn't expect that Zhou Yaxin's reaction was even greater than his own. However, he didn't think much about it, just looked at the crack of the Tang knife in his hand and increased slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little sentimental in his heart.
In the previous battle with the blood cat, Tang Dao had already been damaged under the contact with the blood cat many times, and now he was hard connected to the wind blade released by the high-level ability, which made Tang Dao more injured.
But even if there is no Tang Lei's sneak attack, Lin Xu's Tang knife will not be used.
At this moment, Tang Lei laughed and said, "Lin Xu, you don't have to worry about this, there are people in the gathering place who can forge weapons." I'll take you to Lao Yang to forge your Tang knife again, your Tang knife is okay before the end of the world, and it's barely okay to cut some junior and intermediate blood corpses, but when you encounter a high-level blood corpse, it's very difficult. ”
"The reason why your Tang knife was damaged was because of the relationship with the blood cat, right?"
Tang Lei's sharp reaction from Lin Xu just now, as well as the cracks on the Tang knife in his hand, can prove that what Zhou Yaxin said is true.
It's no wonder that he is suspicious, the middle-level ability of killing a high-level blood beast, no matter how you listen to it, it is like listening to a mythical story.
After the temptation just now, although it is not sure what Lin Xu's specific strength is, it is enough to prove that Lin Xu has the qualifications to fight with high-level blood corpses, which is enough.
"Uncle Tang, this is what you said, don't be stingy, find more special materials for Lin Xu to use for forging knives!"
Zhou Yaxin's anger also disappeared a lot when she heard this, and at the same time, she also knew that Tang Lei was such a person, and if she was angry with him, she would not be able to make herself angry.
"Don't worry, Yaxin, when did your Uncle Tang be stingy, and Lin Xu played a vital role in this mission, I naturally tried my best to forge the Tang knife in Lin Xu's hand into a treasure knife."
Tang Lei said with a laugh.
Don't look at Tang Lei's usual big grin, but he is indeed more meticulous than anyone else in some things.
Tang Lei found that Lin Xu's Tang knife in his hand was not simply used as a simple weapon, but also mixed with feelings.
He understands this very well, just like a gun that has been used for a long time, it will also have a deep affection for the gun.
This kind of thing is not uncommon among SWAT.
It is precisely because of this that Tang Lei said that he would reforge the Tang knife for Lin Xu, instead of letting Lin Xu change the knife.
Lin Xu was overjoyed in his heart, "Thank you, Captain Tang!" ”
The Tang knife in his hand was bought by frugality before the end of the world, and it came to the present with its help after the end of the world, Lin Xu naturally already had feelings for the Tang knife.
Seeing that there were cracks on the body of the Qilin Knife, Lin Xu was secretly hurt for a long time.
At this time, hearing that the Qilin Sword could be reforged, Lin Xu was of course extremely happy.
"You're welcome, don't keep calling me Captain Tang, I sound awkward, you are the same as Yaxin, just call me Uncle Tang!"
Tang Lei said with a smile.
"Uncle Tang!"
Lin Xu said obediently.
I thought to myself, "It seems that it is right for me to follow the mission, otherwise how can I be recognized by the high-level of the gathering place." ”
Although there were many dangers in this mission, fortunately, they all passed through and everything went in a good direction.
"Hey, that's right!" Tang Lei said with a smile.
"Well, this is not the place to talk, let's go in and talk about it."
Liu Zhenguo interrupted the conversation between several people.
Liu Zhenguo was surprised by Tang Lei's move, and Lin Xu's ability to block Tang Lei's sneak attack also shocked him.
I wanted to blame Tang Lei, but seeing that the two were not unpleasant, and they had a good conversation, they didn't say much.
He also knew that Tang Lei was this person's character, before the end of the world, and after the end of the world. He said that he didn't know how many times, and every time he accepted it with an open mind, but then he made a mistake, and he didn't have any tricks for it.
Fortunately, Tang Lei did not cause a big mess, and there was no uncontrollable situation, so sometimes he could only turn a blind eye.
Liu Zhenguo looked at Lin Xu with interest, still amazed in his heart.
Hearing what Liu Zhenguo said, Tang Lei said with a smile, "What the deputy director said is exact, let's go in first." ”
Everyone laughed and walked towards the chemical plant.
As for the materials in the car, someone will handle them, so there is no need for Lin Xu and others to worry about it.
Most of the survivors at the gathering place were gathered around several trucks, all with happy smiles on their faces. No matter what the supplies are in the car, it will definitely improve their lives in the future.
Some people wondered why so few people returned, but they were more interested in the supplies that were on the trucks.
Liu Zhenguo talked with Lin Xu and others, and then left with a few people, and he still needed him to deploy the distribution of these materials.
Tang Lei and Zhou Yaxin also relaxed a lot when they saw Liu Zhenguo leaving.
"Xiaolin, I'll find someone to arrange a place for those members of your team to rest, you can go to the forging room with me first!"
Tang Lei said.
The so-called forging room is a place to forge weapons.
"Okay, my brothers and sisters will trouble Uncle Tang to find someone to arrange it."
Lin Xu said with a smile.
Walking into the gathering place and seeing so many survivors, Lin Xu and the others were inexplicably nervous a lot.
"Xiao Wang, come over here."
"Captain Tang, what do you command?"
A young SWAT officer ran over.
"You go and arrange these members of Xiaolin."
"Okay, Captain Tang!"
As he spoke, he came to Zhao Hu and the others and saluted and said, "Everyone, please come with me!" ”
Lin Xu nodded at a few people, and Zhao Hu and the others followed the young special policeman.
"Don't worry, Xiaolin, this is a metallurgical chemical plant with a dormitory building for nearly 1,000 people. At the same time, we found many large generators in the factory, which are enough for us to use normally. We also found a place to dig a well, so there was no problem maintaining normal life in the gathering place. ”
Tang Lei told Lin Xu some information about the chemical plant.
Listening to Tang Lei's story, Lin Xu also nodded incessantly.
Zhou Yaxin on the side added.
Through the narration of the two, Lin Xu can be regarded as having a preliminary understanding of the gathering place of hope.
In the Hope Gathering Place, food is uniformly distributed, and ordinary people are only guaranteed two meals a day, and they are eighty percent full.
Of course, the children and the elderly have other care.
If you want to get enough food, you have to do things for the gathering place.
As long as the adept goes outside to search for supplies, the more he receives, the more food he distributes, and the more supplies he receives.
Although some of the strangers complained about this, they did not dare to attack. The first is that the strength does not allow, the second is that the gathering place is the safest place nearby, and you can sleep well at night here, and the third is that there are normal living conditions here, and I am afraid that washing your face outside is a problem.
The weapons used by the supernatural are quite tightly controlled.
Each Adept is only allowed to have one weapon, and only if it is damaged can it be replaced with a new one, and the old weapon must be recycled and rebuilt, and the replacement of a new weapon costs a blood bead.
Lin Xu secretly admired in his heart, if he managed so many people, he would definitely not be able to be so organized.
Lin Xu knew in his heart that food and weapons were the key, and they must also be controlled in his hands.
"Lin Xu, as for the food you brought yourself, it should have been handed over, but seeing that you have made great efforts in this mission, I will allow you to stay. But try not to spread it around in case there are some unnecessary disputes. ”
Zhou Yaxin said.
"I see."
Lin Xu said with some gratitude.
"Also, according to the rules in the gathering place, those who join the gathering place will get a weapon for free, and at the same time, they will be responsible for guarding the gathering place, and at the same time, they will have to go out every once in a while to collect supplies for the gathering place."
Zhou Yaxin said again.
"Okay, that's what we should do." Lin Xu said with a smile.
"You still take your teammates with you, as for what mission you are going to perform, we will talk about it in two days, you just arrive and have a good rest."
Zhou Yaxin said contemplatively.
Lin Xu naturally accepted it gladly.
While the three of them were talking, they came to the door of a factory.
Before entering the door, Lin Xu heard the sound of shouting and colliding with the metal inside.
"Xiaolin, this is the forging room."
Tang Lei said and pushed the door open.
A heat wave came to Lin Xu's face, and he said secretly, "It's so hot!" ”
His face was a little red from the burn.
"Let's go, let's go find Lao Yang." Tang Lei said.
The old Yang in his mouth is named Yang Zhong, and he is an intermediate ability, a fire-type mutation ability.
Lin Xu walked into the factory and found that at least 20 of them were busy, all of them were sweating, some were wielding hammers forging something, some were carrying some mineral materials, anyway, they were doing their jobs.
And these people didn't react much to the entry of Lin Xu and the others.
This is the first time Lin Xu has seen this kind of scene, although the high temperature makes Lin Xu sweat nonstop, he still looks at everything around him with interest......
