Chapter 10: A Chance Encounter with a Land Boat
Keep your palms on the ground, and your mind will move to show your gathering skills.
"Small Dirt Block +2"
"Small Dirt Block +2"
"Small Dirt Block +2"
……
Small clods of dirt are collected and appear in the space backpack.
Then I saw that fine cracks quickly appeared on the already dry and cracked soil under my feet.
Not long -
With a "poof", a pit one meter long and wide and one meter deep with the same depth appeared directly under his feet.
"Wow......" Yaya exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly grabbed her sister.
Tong Xiaorou was also surprised, but she guessed that this was Jiang Cheng's awakening special ability, so she didn't ask much.
Jiang Chengneng performed in front of them, and she already trusted them very much, and she was already very content.
The ground in front of me, after a one-meter hole was dug out, the bottom was still dry and cracked.
Jiang Cheng frowned slightly, and was about to widen the place, and then dig down vigorously, but suddenly his ears moved, and he looked in the direction of the right in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Tong Xiaorou immediately became nervous.
"Someone, a lot of people!"
Jiang Cheng was surprised: "I heard a chaotic voice, and there were a lot of people. Wait a minute, I'll go to the tree and see what's going on......"
As he spoke, he was about to climb the tree, when two behemoths suddenly came out of that direction.
The two behemoths were metal bumps, three meters high, and their whole bodies were blue, and in this place where dilapidated objects could be seen everywhere, especially in the interior of this primeval forest, these two behemoths with a blue color seemed very abrupt.
"Mecha?!" Jiang Cheng was dumbfounded.
"That's not right...... The mecha is estimated to be much larger than this, and this is supposed to be exoskeleton power armor? ”
He wasn't so sure.
At this moment, the two power armors had already discovered them, and he immediately protected them in front of Tong Xiaorou and Yaya, waiting for them.
"Evolver?"
In the distance, the two power armors seemed to be stunned for a moment, they should have seen the neat pits dug by Jiang Cheng, and it is estimated that there is also a way to perceive the evolutionary.
Or that the people inside are evolutionaries themselves.
Inside one of the power armors, the sound of a megaphone came out, and the sound quality was slightly transposed, probably deliberately modified: "That guy, you don't want to dig a deep pit to get water, do you?" Don't waste your efforts, you can't find water in this area if you dig 500 meters down. ”
Dig down 500 meters and can't find water?!
Jiang Cheng frowned, a little incredulous: "Have you ever dug it?" ”
"Do you still need to dig this? Our detectors can easily probe 500 meters underground, otherwise why do you think these giant trees would die? ”
The power armor voiced, "Don't be so vigilant, we're not those stupid camp people, we're from Vault Seventeen. If you can trust, you can follow us and trade your labor for food and water. ”
The moment he heard the word "refuge", for some reason, indescribable anger suddenly welled up in Jiang Cheng's heart.
But this feeling was only fleeting, and the anger dissipated as if there was no source, and he felt that he should be jealous or something else, so he didn't think much about it, and said half-incredulously: "Do you have a lot of food and water?" I feel like there's a lot of people behind me. ”
The power armor said indifferently, "We can make food and water through elemental synthesis, but that will consume our reactor electricity, so we have to work to get it." Of course, although we will slow down as much as possible, we can't wait for everyone, and if we can keep up, we will follow, and if we can't, we will slowly find the traces of the land boat. ”
With that, the two power armors continued to open the way in front, and the huge steel longsword swung and all the vines that stood in the way were split.
It was only two power armors, and it was hard to open up a passage up to twenty meters wide, and it was moving fast.
Watching the two power armors leave, Jiang Cheng stood hesitantly in place, a little surprised in his heart.
"Shelter?"
He always feels that there are some impressions in his mind, and they are still very bad impressions, (foreshadowing, here is foreshadowing, I found that everyone is complaining about the protagonist's double standard in the back, why don't you look at the foreshadowing?) On the surface, it seems that the protagonist is a traverser, but the second chapter has already been written, and the protagonist has lost his memory! No spoilers! But I'm not sure if that's the impression of the original or my own.
At this moment, even Tong Xiaorou and Yaya could hear the voices behind them, which were a little noisy and there were many people talking.
"Jiang Cheng......" Tong Xiaorou said a little nervously, they hadn't experienced such a large number of people for a long time.
In the wilderness, that is, occasionally encountering a few people, usually no more than ten.
Because there is to find food, there is simply not enough food in a place where there are more people.
Jiang Cheng thought about it, first filled the hole with rotten leaves, and then said, "Let's take a look at the situation first." ”
About half a minute later, a super behemoth appeared in sight.
The behemoth was ten meters high, at least fifteen meters wide, and as for the length, it reached an exaggerated thirty meters, with a 400-millimeter main cannon on top and three 100-millimeter secondary guns around it.
That thing looks like a super tank.
But unlike the tank, the thing did not walk on tracks, but on mechanical legs, and sixteen thick mechanical legs on one side, thirty-two in total, supported the behemoth to move slowly.
That should be the so-called land boating.
And behind the huge land ark, there were a large number of people.
Not to mention Tong Xiaorou and Yaya, even Jiang Cheng was dumbfounded: "It's a shelter again, and it's this kind of black technology...... The world once estimated that some kind of catastrophe of the scale of the century really happened......"
As for whether the current drought is related to the original disaster, he does not know, and there is no relevant record in the memory of his predecessor.
Ahead, there was no sound of the engine, only the rumble of the mechanical legs landing, and it slowly moved forward at the speed of ordinary walking.
As the land boat passed, thousands of blue-clad people in the rear quickly followed.
Someone found Jiang Cheng and the others here, but they only glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it.
Those people didn't have the same green eyes as the people Jiang Cheng had met before, although they were also yellow and thin, they at least looked like people.
After this group of people quickly followed, there were people coming slowly from the rear, those were all old people, women or children, of course, there were also young and strong, but they were all relatives or friends of those people, accompanying them to walk slowly.
Added up, I'm afraid there are four or five thousand people.
Jiang Cheng hesitated and said, "Let's follow behind to see the situation first." ”
He didn't blindly trust the man from the so-called Vault Seventeen.
But if those people really have a way to make water, maybe they can exchange some, and he has to figure out what kind of labor those people need from ordinary people.
"It's all up to you." Tong Xiaorou doesn't have any opinions, and Yaya has no opinions.
Jiang Cheng immediately picked up Yaya and followed, and Tong Xiaorou followed without leaving.
"Dad, look, that person ......" suddenly a voice came from not far away.
Jiang Cheng turned his head to look and found that it was the three people who traded the remains of the giant wolf's corpse yesterday.
A tall, thin man, a skinny woman, and a fairly healthy, thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.
Perhaps because he had the basis for a successful transaction, the tall and thin man nodded at Jiang Cheng in a friendly manner and did not speak.
Jiang Cheng also nodded, and then hurried away silently.
He didn't get close to the family of three, and even kept a distance of about thirty meters from the others.
In fact, everyone was guarding against each other, and there were more than 1,000 people in the back group, there were three or four hundred small groups, and the largest number was only four or five people, most of whom were loners.
There are two power armor and land boats in front of the road, and the road behind is much easier, at least not to easily step on the trap.
