103. Passionate wilderness
The experience of being free from suffering is like a new birth.
But this new life is not all beautiful and comfortable.
After his body was repaired, Li Nuo walked alone in the green wilderness.
With the wind as the companion and the grass as the mat.
When you are tired, you sit on the ground, put your elbow on your head and admire the blue sky, and when you are thirsty or hungry, you go to the river to drink water, grab some blades of grass and wild fruits and stuff them in your mouth.
After the "tenacity" and "vitality" are significantly higher than ordinary people, there is no big problem with drinking river water and eating raw grass leaves. The existence of deconstruction also allowed Li Nuo to skillfully avoid poisonous plants.
The first day away from the crowds and hustle and bustle.
As Li Nuo walked, he looked at the results of passive deconstruction of Grinsau's knowledge.
The joy of a great harvest is quickly diluted by the worries of the trivialities of survival.
He felt like he had become an animal and no longer had social significance.
He had to worry about drinking, eating, resting, and constantly being on the lookout for wolves and wild horses wandering in the wilderness.
The second day away from the crowds and hustle and bustle.
He began to understand what it means to be a social animal, and he began to miss hot food, delicious herbal tea, and a comfortable sleeping environment without mosquitoes.
Instead of appreciating the magnificence of the natural world, he was disgusted by the primitive way of life, and was eager to communicate with people and return to human civilization.
The third day away from the crowds.
His heart returned to tranquility.
He spent a day yesterday nostalgic for the beauty of the world, but he also remembered a lot of intrigue and darkness.
The fourth day away from the crowds.
He was born again with an aversion to primitive life, a longing for a hot bath and a soft bed.
The fifth day away from the crowds.
In solitude and contemplation, he perceives philosophy and dissects his own psychology.
He realized that his oscillation between primitive and civilized life was not his own cause, but the result of his nature, which was rooted in the human soul.
The sixth day away from the crowds.
Belch.
He didn't think about it on this day.
The roar of the engine in the sky attracted all his attention and drove away the philosophical thoughts and speculations in his mind.
"After walking for so many days, I finally saw a figure~"
Somewhere in the southern part of the Fission Wilderness, Li Nuo stood on a low slope and looked north, his eyes following the movement of the convoy not far away.
He threw away his backpack before jumping off the cliff, along with his telescope.
He can now only observe distant scenes with his naked eyes.
He could be sure that the tiny black dots that were moving slowly not far away were a relatively small convoy.
The convoy was fast, with about 10 vehicles.
Certainly not the steam locomotive of the Tatis Empire.
Lenovo can be sure of this.
Because Tatis's classic car can't drive so fast.
"I'm going to have to take advantage of the fact that the convoy hasn't gone far and go over and see what's going on. Perhaps, if you follow the ruts, you will soon reach the city in the fission wilderness. ”
Li Nuo stepped on the soft soil and jogged in the direction of the convoy.
His right hand was wrapped in a cloth under his clothes, so that the wrap would not fall out during the run.
The contents of the package were all he had brought out of the Junction of Suffering.
Five days ago, he landed under a cliff on the north side of the Blade Mountains.
When he landed, he used his body as a meat pad and used the "magic shield" to cover the potion bottle, which saved some life potions.
After he had used the Life Elixir to heal all the injuries on his body, there were only about 30 Life Potions left.
"These are my lifeblood, and after the Jedi turns the tables in the future, they will have to rely on them to heal me."
Li Nuo touched the life elixir stored close to him through his clothes.
He feels a bit like the Monkey King from Dragon Ball...
And the elixir of life is the "fairy bean".
Wukong relied on fairy beans to turn the tables, and he Li Nuo had to rely on life elixirs...
Always relying on potions to get out of trouble is not a way to go.
The Elixir of Life will run out one day.
You'll have to find a replacement in the Golden Federation.
Li Nuo frowned slightly as he jogged as he recalled the information of the Golden Federation in his mind.
The Tatis Empire is a very closed country.
Its people have little opportunity to learn about other countries.
For example, the customs and customs of the Golden Federation, the geographical features, the talents of alchemists, the concept of alchemy, etc., these knowledge are extremely unfamiliar to most of the people of the empire.
Li Nuo didn't find many clues from Kaisha's memory.
However, in the memory of Grinsau, he found a lot of information related to the Golden Federation.
But it was only to know what the natives of the Golden Federation looked like, that there was an illegal ferry to the east of the Fission Wilderness, and that there was an elemental trial of the wizarding organization.
After all, Kai'Sa was an MI2 investigator in charge of internal reviews of the Empire, while Grinsau was the head of MI2's wand destruction team, and the two were not MI6 agents who were specifically responsible for infiltrating the Golden Federation.
They are understandably poorly aware of the Golden Federation.
Being unfamiliar with life is just one of the troubles that Li Nuo has to face.
Li Nuo is not worried about the language barrier.
He has a lot of energy at his disposal, enough to gain knowledge of the native language of the Golden Federation by deconstructing ordinary people.
His real worries are about his looks and legal status.
He has a high nose, deep eye sockets, ice-blue eyes, and pale skin because he can't see the sun all year round.
None of this is the same as the natives of the Golden Federation.
Moreover, Li Nuo tried it, and the degree of modification of the skin color of the "disguised living corpse" was extremely limited.
Leno can roughly simulate the appearance of a Federarian, but he can't do anything about skin color.
The skin of the people of the Golden Federation is much darker than that of the Imperials, and it is noticeably darker.
This is caused by the two suns overhead...
That's right, two suns.
Within the confines of the Empire, the sun and the stars are not visible all day.
There is no such problem in the Federation.
There are two suns hanging in the sky here.
One big and one small.
Shaped like an adult sun brother, dragging the sun brother who is still a child, wandering in the blue sky.
If you look up at the two suns from the ground, the larger of them is about the size of a clenched fist.
Its appearance and color are exactly the same as the "sun" in Li Nuo's impression.
The smaller sun, the size of a "1 yuan" coin, is a dull blue.
When Li Nuo saw the sun of this world for the first time, he was really shocked.
But he soon discovered that it seemed that an extra sun in the sky wasn't a big deal...
It's nothing more than a little hot, a little stuffy, the skin will be tanned, drink a few more glasses of water every day.
Anyway, as long as the third sun does not emerge and form the legendary "three-body" structure, everything is still in an acceptable state.
Under such light conditions, Li Nuo had a hunch that his skin would soon become the same as that of the natives of the Golden Federation.
Just the wind and sun in the past few days have worn off a lot of the original complexion.
The more troublesome thing is the color of the pupils.
The Golden Federation mostly has black or brown pupils and no ice blue.
Li Nuo could cover his face with a face cloth, and wait until the facial features of the Imperial people faded before taking the face cloth off.
But what to do with the color of the pupils?
He can't gouge out his eyes and replace them with prosthetic eyes...
So the best way is to wear sunglasses and cover your pupils, so that you can reduce a lot of unnecessary attention.
"Bang bang... Bang bang..."
The crisp sound of gunfire echoed across the empty wilderness.
Li Nuo detached himself from his thoughts and slowed down.
He listened intently to determine where the gunfire was coming from the direction of the convoy.
When I came to the high place, the convoy not far away stopped at some point, and was engaged in a battle with another group of people with firearms.
The two sides were in the middle of a battle, and they didn't notice that there was an extra stranger on the sidelines.
Li Nuo used the gentle slope of the wilderness to cover his figure, and approached the battlefield little by little.
He crawled forward, clinging to the ground to the top of a gentle slope, peeking half of his head out of the grass, and surveying the convoy and the people who were fighting it.
"Interestingly, the cars of this team are four-wheeled motorcycles with wide tires, and the exhaust pipes are thick and large, and it seems that the Golden Federation has mastered the technology of the internal combustion engine. There are a lot of patches on the motorcycle, and human skulls are also hung as decorations. Well, these guys don't seem to be good people, otherwise they wouldn't use things like 'skulls' to show their authority. ”
Li Nuo basically decided that the team in front of him was not a kind person.
After seeing what this team was doing, he was even more determined about it.
The clothes worn by the team members were mainly dirty and reflective wax jackets, and the pants were mostly jeans with holes.
The weapons they wielded were crude homemade firearms—double-barreled shotguns made of rusty metal sheets, slightly deformed retorts with barrels, shotguns with overly thick muzzles, and so on.
Such a group of wasteland people stopped their cars in the wilderness, not to camp, but to rob a camp.
The tents in this camp are similar in color to the grass, with a dark green color.
At a distance, it is difficult to find traces of the camp.
It was also at this time that Li Nuo noticed the existence of this camp.
There were ten people on the convoy side and five people on the camp side.
The weapons in the hands of both sides were shoddy firearms, but due to the large difference in numbers, the whole battle quickly came to an end.
At this moment when Li Nuo was secretly observing, the people on the camp side had been wiped out by the convoy, and three people on the convoy side also fell to the ground and died.
The surviving members of the convoy entered the camp and looted it, carrying all the water, food, firearms, medicine and backpacks in the camp to the vehicles.
Several of them were so cruel that they cut off the heads of the dead and hung them in the back of the car.
In the hellish land of the Junction of Suffering, the suffering of humanity comes from the undead.
But in the fission wilderness, a place full of greenery, the only enemy of humanity seems to be human beings.
The cruelty and gore inflicted by the same kind of people was far more shocking than when Li Nuo first faced the undead.
Seeing this situation, Li Nuo had a plan to make a move.
Not for the sake of so-called justice, nor for the revenge of the camp party who is not related to the family.
It was the evil deeds of the convoy side that gave Li Nuo the urge to passively deconstruct the convoy members and obtain a lot of information.
And in the process, he doesn't have the slightest psychological burden.
He threw deconstruction at the convoy members.
[System message: You are trying to deconstruct the "unknown name of the convoy member.] 】
[Estimated consumption of 15 energy points will increase the completion of deconstruction to 100%.] 】
"15 energy... These team members are ordinary people with no extraordinary abilities. ”
Li Nuo figured out the details of the seven people on the other side, and no longer hesitated at the moment.
He detoured back to the rear of the convoy, using the bushes as cover, and approached the quad bike little by little.
The convoy was scrambling the camp, unaware of the strangers approaching them.
Li Nuo quietly came to the side of the motorcycle and retrieved a revolver and a dagger from the car.
He held the dagger in his left hand, pressed it under his right hand holding the gun, and cast a "magic shield" to attack with the help of the motorcycle.
"Bang!"
A member of the convoy who had come with a backpack collapsed on his back with a round hole in the center of his forehead.
The sudden sound of gunfire alarmed the convoy members in the camp.
They dropped their loot and pulled out their guns to fight back.
After seeing that there was only one attacker, the six living convoy members laughed wildly, pulled the trigger at random, and poured bullets around each other.
Thinking that the enemy would be intimidated by bullets, they buried their heads and were passively beaten.
But they were wrong.
Li Nuo faced the bullet that was shooting at him, calmly aimed at the next target's head and pulled the trigger, and then the third target's head...
He has a "magic shield" that allows him to completely ignore the threat of small-caliber bullets and face the enemy.
The arrogant team members became live targets.
Li Nuo emptied the bullet nest and sent bullet after bullet into the opponent's head with precision.
The only remaining members of the team realized that something was wrong.
As soon as he turned to run away, he was chased by Li Nuo, who had caught up, and wiped his neck with a dagger.
Looking around the camp full of messes, Li Nuo picked up the water bottle and rag on the ground and cleaned the blood stains from his hands.
He clicked on the deconstruction results, pored over the memories of the team members, and let out a soft sigh of joy and caution.
"It turns out that this fission wilderness is not very peaceful.
"The camp is the camp of the fishermen, and the convoy is the convoy of the scavengers.
"Waste pickers have gangs in the big cities behind them. Behind the gangs in the big cities, there are also local forces such as alchemist associations, chambers of commerce, consortia and corporations.
"There are no alchemists among the scavengers, but there are alchemists in the gangs of the big cities. Basically, the leaders of each gang are alchemists of the first to second order. No matter how high-level alchemists are, they are all recruited by the local forces behind the gangs..."
Li Nuo washed the blood on his hands, rubbed his chin, nodded slowly and said:
"Judging from the memories of this group of scavengers, the Golden Federation is a country that pursues strength more than the Tatis Empire.
"In the Tatis Empire, ordinary people do not have access to the Fist of the Empire. But here in the Golden Federation, all kinds of alchemists are everywhere, penetrating into all aspects of society. From cultivating plants to producing firearms, to building cars and houses, there are alchemists everywhere, and it is difficult for ordinary people not to come into contact with alchemists. ”
Li Nuo grinned:
"I like places where there are a lot of extraordinaries and there is a lot of competition, but correspondingly, there are fewer extraordinaires in the world. As long as I don't show those terrifying death-type spells, I can still live a nourishing life. ”
Li Nuo searched the camp and found the "compressed rice soup" encapsulated in a metal box.
It is an alchemical food that melts when exposed to water, and when soaked in hot water, it turns into a soft and glutinous thick rice soup in a few moments.
Although it may sound similar to "compressed biscuits", it is not made by the food industry, but is the product of "food alchemy".
In the Golden Federation, alchemists are both extraordinary beings who can participate in battles and the main force of mass production of social goods.
Each of them is ten times more productive than the average person.
The production line is something that ordinary people can use.
In the eyes of the alchemist, all matter can be transformed from other matter or energy according to the alchemical formula.
According to the guidance of the alchemy formula, use the alchemy runes to depict the alchemy array, and put in the correct alchemy materials, you can obtain the alchemy products pointed to by the alchemy formula.
Alchemy formulas, alchemy runes, and alchemy materials are the lifelong pursuit of alchemists. The scarcity of things in it is enough to fascinate every alchemist.
A complete alchemy blueprint will include formulas, runes, and a list of materials at once.
The above is common knowledge that even waste pickers can know, but that's about it.
If you want to learn more about alchemy, there are only three paths.
The first way is to pass the entrance exam of the Alchemy Sanctuary and enter the Alchemy Academy as an alchemy apprentice to learn the orthodox knowledge of alchemy.
This path is extremely demanding on IQ, and the entrance exam alone is enough to screen out more than 99.9% of candidates.
The second path is to join a gang or company, accumulate wealth in your daily work, and then buy alchemical knowledge from your faction.
This is the path taken by scavengers and fishermen, who are not smart enough, but who are eager to learn alchemy. Behind the scavengers are gangs, and behind the fishermen are the alchemy companies responsible for refining canned fish.
The third way is to buy alchemy knowledge from the black market. This knowledge may be the same as that taught by the Alchemy Templars, Corporations, or Gangs, or it may have been compiled by illegal alchemists.
Learning alchemy is too far away right now.
It's important to find a safe place to stay as early as possible.
Li Nuo lingered in the fisherman's camp for a while, and then set out on a journey to the big city with a truckload of supplies.
There is only one city in the Fission Wilderness, and that is the "Convergence City".
An ID card is required to enter the Aggregation City.
Li Nuo doesn't worry about that now.
On the bodies of the scavengers and fishermen, he found several identity cards, corresponding to the forces to which the scavengers and the fishermen belonged.
As long as Li Nuo changes his appearance and puts on his sunglasses, it is enough to use his identity card to pretend to be a scavenger and a fisherman to infiltrate the Convergence City.
After that, he may be able to "prostitute" other types of identity cards in the city's black market.
He also doesn't have to worry about his imperial characteristics, which will attract unnecessary attention...
Because in the memories of the scavengers, many people in the Tatis Empire came to the fission wilderness through various means, and multiplied on the wilderness for several generations.
It is true that the appearance of the Imperials is different from that of the natives, but it is definitely not uncommon.
In line with the vigilance of "the fellow sees the fellow and stabs him in the back", Li Nuo didn't want to have any communication with the imperial people in the city.
But sometimes it's just that unlucky.
The more you don't want to meet someone, the more you will meet someone.
Li Nuo disguised himself and came outside the camp.
He had just figured out how to drive his quad bike when he looked up and saw another convoy coming in his direction.
He picked up the binoculars hanging from his motorcycle and looked at it, and the leader of the convoy was a standard imperial man...
The man noticed that Li Nuo was looking at himself with a telescope, and then he also raised the telescope and looked over.
The two of them suddenly met through the lenses...
"Shhhh I need 10,000 energy points to deconstruct him completely. This guy is a big guy. But he doesn't seem to have anything special..."
"Huh? There's a stranger there covering his face and hands? The skin in the gap between the face towel was so white, could he be an Imperial man who had just been smuggled over? ”
