Chapter 13 Ineligibility
Leon didn't know how much his words meant by his words, anyway, Lockdorge reverted to silence after that day, as if he didn't even bother to quarrel.
As a result, in the blue light emitting hole of the gate of the Nine Domains, there was often a fat man with a big bag of rat meat who kept eating, and next to him sat a more and more burly teenager, next to a slender figure who never squeaked, looking at the vast ruins together.
Occasionally, they would go out to hunt rats together, at first the fat man would come back with injuries, and every time he was tired and not human, after more than 20 days, the three of them would easily come back with a large number of rats, and even once, they brought back more than a dozen poisonous meat worms.
The vicious burrowing flesh worms are extremely fast, capable of spraying poisonous wires, and to catch them, they require extremely high speed and stamina, and even the ability to work together. In the end, the three of them came up with a way to set traps with rat meat, and they were finally able to catch a large number of these white and tender meat insects.
Lao Dao is the person who knows all this best, and every time he sees their heroic figures, he will secretly sigh that he is old.
This situation lasted for a long time, and the blue light emitter was covered with shallow white marks, which were recorded by Leon, and the black forehead had been missing for half a year. According to the logic of the gathering place, a person who has been in the ruins forest for half a year has absolutely no chance of surviving, not to mention that Hei Forehead is still a mutant, and other gathering places will definitely not accept him.
In other words, the black forehead is dead.
"Ang, how long do you think we're going to wait like this?" Finally one day, Fei Jiama couldn't help but ask, and then he looked at Leon, whose face was getting worse and worse, swallowed and added: "Isn't it time to fuse weapons?
Leon also seems to realize that his face is too bad, and he has always struggled to be as patient with Figama as he is with Black Forehead.
"Okay! if we have enough money, let's go and fuse the weapons!" he became cheerful, his eyes full of hope, "and then let's go find him!"
Locke Dorjee next to him listened and thought thoughtfully.
After half a year of adaptation and stability, Leon's bones have a density equivalent to lead, the flexibility of the joints, the stretch control of the muscles, and the tearing tolerance of the skin have all met the requirements of fusion weapons, but they don't have enough money, and the soluble metal is only a small piece the size of a fist, or the black forehead has been "changed" from Lao Jiao once When he came back, Leon still didn't understand how Black Forehead got that precious metal back. And according to Leon's vision of his own weapons, that bit of metal was simply not enough.
Using a small dagger was definitely not his ideal.
In the six months since the black forehead disappeared, the Lake mercenary group has not been idle, and the mission left by MGM has dragged on for a long time, and it has not been completed until not long ago. However, despite the fruitful results, everyone was in a bad mood.
On this day, in the hive, the five thieves finally gathered again.
They sat in different positions, their faces gloomy, and their eyes were all fixed on one person—Locke Dorjee.
"How can this be?" Ryker couldn't bear the silence, looked at the boy with his head hidden deep in his pocket, and finally said a deep question from the bottom of his heart.
Locke Dorjee didn't speak, as if he hadn't heard, and in fact, he didn't know why that was the case.
"MGM has been missing for half a year, and if he left behind, someone would have come to pick you up within twenty days" Lina said slowly, her tone soft, as if she couldn't bear to see Locke Dorjee forced into a corner, "But, why hasn't anyone come to pick you up after half a year?"
"The most important thing is not this, boy, I see that you have a good time with our little Angang, in fact, you are just mixed up in the Nine Domains, and we don't care" Geer interjected, full of the sophistication of an old thief, "But what about your ransom? Who will give it to us? It took a lot of effort to get you out of the ashes of war at that time."
"Mi Duo is also injured" Piros emphasized, Mi Duo is half of his apprentice, her father is not distressed, Piros is distressed.
"And now there are more fatal problems" Gecko Keane, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke, and with his voice, everyone's faces became even more ugly, "War Ash has come to the door!" Keane's voice suddenly increased, which made Locke Dorjee, who had been silent, suddenly raise his head, and his light blue eyes revealed a deep fear,
"What are you going to do...... Disposal...... I," Locke Dorge asked, and finally chose the word "disposal".
"We're just a bunch of thieves, we'll only steal small things in various gathering areas, you've been here in the Nine Domains for a long time, you should know that our strength is the weakest, and if we really fight, we can wipe us out alone, so ...... We'll just have to hand you over to the Ashes ......"
"No!" Lake's words were interrupted by a thunderous shout, and a man hurried up from the top of the stairs.
The person who came was Lyon.
He had grown four inches taller within half a year, and the muscle groups on his body were like fruits full of strength, rapidly beginning to swell, but at the moment he was wrapped in more ragged patchwork clothes, which was inconspicuous, and his height and volume were like that of an ordinary seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy. But everyone in the hive knew his actual age, so they all knew in their hearts that Leon's rapid explosion of genetic potential meant that a future master was about to appear.
"You're not qualified to say no" Lake looked at Leon calmly, as if for the first time he didn't start with a title like "little bunny", but said "you". But his answer was still no.
Leon blushed, but he couldn't say anything, he understood that what Lake said was not only to him, but also to the other four people, and any one of them stood up to intercede for Locke Dorjee, and he was not qualified.
For the entire mercenary group, life preservation is the first principle.
"I'll leave on my own" Locke Dorjee began, his voice low, "I'll go now"
There were red particles dancing in the air, and the faint light shone in through the transparent corrugated windows of the hive, illuminating the particles even brighter, and suddenly, the happy shining particles were violently blown away by a gust of wind, and drifted into the dark corners where the light could not reach.
The silence was also broken by the wind.
"No, you can't go," Lake said, "I can't hand you over, the ashes will kill us"
No one refuted it, and everyone understood that it was true.
War ashes rose forty years ago in the "Three Years of Darkness", which was another great screening of human beings by nature, and it was screened for three whole years.
Beginning in the 30th year of the Falling Moon Era, the energy stored in all the gathering places was gradually depleted, and the small batch of energy tubes that flowed out of the reserved land became the most popular hard currency, and the meaning even surpassed that of food. Because food can go underground to hunt rats, but energy is irreplaceable.
At that time, it was the cycle period of genetic breakthroughs of a large number of alienated beasts, and after two generations of mutations, the strength of some mutant beasts has surpassed human imagination. And what they need is a lot of high-quality flesh and blood - humans.
Gatherings were under heavy attack, hordes of mutant beasts were attacking the weakly defended iron walls day and night, and the blue light shot was almost the only weapon that could withstand the mad beasts. However, Blu-ray also has a fatal disadvantage, that is, it requires a lot of energy.
Finally, one day, the blue light emitting holes on the iron gates of all the gathering areas fell silent, and the human race came to a desperate situation of running out of energy, and countless gathering areas were destroyed overnight, becoming a nest of mutant beasts in the iron wall. The rest of the gathering place had to hire a large number of mercenaries through the five-star trade union, but unfortunately, the mercenaries at that time generally had a very low degree of genetic stimulation, and their combat quality was even worse, and the number of hand blade mutant beasts was not as large as the number of women in the gathering place.
At this time, the war ash appeared, ten people, with different weapons, different heights, but all of them were gray iron rhinoceros hides, and their faces were deeply hidden in the helmets made of dark iron, looking like a group of alienated devils from a distance.
However, they were welcomed in various gathering places, and wherever the ashes went, the mutant beasts were repelled one after another, and the group of gray people had endless combat effectiveness, whether it was long-range shooting or close-range hand-to-hand combat, they were extremely accurate and vicious, and killing the opponent in the shortest possible time became the fighting characteristics of the ashes. And the cooperation between the ten people is also absolutely tacit, which can be called the most accurate killing machine.
Legend has it that they are a mercenary group with all members reaching the five-star level, and their combat effectiveness is incomparable to those low-level mercenaries, and there is no record in the five-star union, and no one knows where they come from.
What's even more special is that these super-powerful war ashes will strictly control their butcher knives in the face of provocations from other mercenaries, but once they are sure that the opponent exceeds the bottom line set by themselves, they will reciprocate without mercy. It was also the appearance of the ashes of war that made the free mercenaries see the combined strength of the team, so they formed teams one after another, becoming a large or small mercenary group, rising up to defend the gathering place where they were. Although they are only fighting for their own survival.
The second screening of humanity's fate, three years of darkness, has finally come to an end in the wandering of war ashes.
This is the ashes of war, coming from the legend and lifting themselves to the altar of mercenaries with terror and blood. Their leader, Tuoba Hongyan, is also known as the war spirit, and it is an immortal legend on the altar.
And War Ash brought a message to Lake this time: A thief has a thief's way, and War Ash will not pursue it, but they want to get back Lockdorge.
