Who is the big brother he is talking about
"Is your elder brother very strong?" Xu Xin squatted down, looked at him and whispered, "Could it be that your elder brother's name is Zhang Daoguang?"
As the number one in area 187, Zhang Daoguang possessed some special abilities, so Xu Xin was not surprised at all. If the big brother this man was talking about was Zhang Daoguang, then it would not be surprising that such a weak man had this strange heavy crossbow in the tree house.
"You... How do you know the name of our area boss! Are you from the same area?" The man's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he roared, "Since we are from the same area, why are you hindering me! We are companions! This woman is from the tree house next door, she is from Area 188! Catch her quickly!"
Xu Xin stood up to avoid his spitting saliva, with a frown on his face.
He had never seen such a stupid person.
Such a stupid person cannot be a strong man in the region. The elder brother he mentioned might be the person Xu Xin is looking for.
However, since he called Zhang Daoguang the regional boss, it means that Zhang Daoguang is not the big brother he is talking about.
Xu Xin has been thinking about what kind of people his tree house sanctuary should recruit and what kind of things it should do.
His abilities are rather special. Whether it's artist or alchemy, they are not something that other people can do. Even if he recruits ordinary survivors, they won't be able to help him in any way.
So, after much thought, he decided that his goal was to conquer all the strong people with special abilities in other areas and transplant them to his protected area to become his parasites, subject to his constraints and restrictions.
This was actually the reason why he had just discussed with Li Wenxi and cooperated to subdue him instead of killing the man directly. If he really had any special abilities, he should at least ask him first.
Although the second stage of survival seems as calm as a pool of stagnant water at the moment, danger and disaster may occur at any time. He must speed up his pace and quickly increase his own strength.
At this stage, the top strength in their region has actually been basically saturated. There are no fixed activities in the second stage. If they want to acquire new abilities, it may be much more difficult than in the first stage. Their explorers may not acquire any new abilities for a long time.
Although with his alchemical potion, everyone can gradually improve their personal strength, but unless their personal strength is as strong as Wen Guixin, who can stand alone and clear out the vines and ant colonies in a short time, they can't play a big role in the team.
Xu Xin is very strong now, and there are probably not many survivors in the world who are stronger than him. However, facing a tree house full of heavy crossbows, he is still restrained.
Not to mention the giant beasts that you may face in the future, such as the giant anaconda in the center of the lake, the blood-marked troll, and the giant pangolin underground. Personal strength may be just a joke in front of them.
Therefore, in addition to working together and developing groups, expanding new capabilities and technologies is also what they urgently need now.
If we regard the current Area 188 as a country in ruins, then the ordinary survivors are equivalent to the people, and these powerful people with technology are equivalent to top scientists.
A country cannot lose its people, nor can it be without scientists and new technologies, otherwise, when disaster strikes, they will be able to do nothing.
However, the person in front of him was obviously not the one he was looking for.
Now it seemed that he didn't even have a watch on his hand, and if he wasn't wearing it, it would mean that he was not even in the top 100 in the jungle exploration activity.
Seeing the wonderful expressions of the three people in front of him, the man finally understood. He covered his scratched leg and said tremblingly: "You...you are all from 188?"
"What do you think?" Li Wenxi said unhappily.
Li Wenxi and Qi Xuefei were also speechless, especially Qi Xuefei. She never expected that she would be fooled by such a person for more than an hour. It was simply a shame.
The man swallowed his saliva, his face showing fear: "My... my brother is very strong, you can't kill me, otherwise..."
Xu Xin squatted down again and asked calmly, "Who is your eldest brother you just mentioned?"
"I... my elder brother is..." Before the man finished speaking, he suddenly punched Xu Xin in the face.
Xu Xin immediately raised his hand and easily caught his punch.
Although the man in front of him looked rather thin, he was actually quite strong. At least, he was much stronger than the average adult male. He must have increased his strength several times in this world to reach his current level.
But even so, in front of Xu Xin now, his strength is not much different from that of a newborn baby.
Holding his fist, Xu Xin began to exert force with his hands.
"Ah! Let go! Let go of me, damn it!" the man let out a shrill scream.
Xu Xin could feel the man's fist deforming in his palm and the bones making crisp sounds. Then, as his strength increased and the man screamed more miserably, the sound of broken bones continued to be heard in his palm.
Xu Xin let go of his hand, and the man immediately pulled his hand back, hugged it to his chest, curled up into a ball, and screamed on the ground.
To be honest, there was nothing wrong with the choice made by the thin man just now.
The face is one of the few parts of Xu Xin's body that is not covered by his scales. If he punches it, a normal person will be stunned for a few seconds.
In this way, he might have a chance to escape back to the tree house and attack several people.
But he didn't expect that the person in front of him was Xu Xin, who ranked first on the list. In terms of the number of times his body had been strengthened, no one could possibly surpass him. Fighting him in close combat was simply out of his mind.
"Woooa ...
"Ah, this..."
Li Wenxi and Qi Xuefei, who witnessed all this, opened their eyes wide. They watched Xu Xin crush a man's fist. The kakashi sound and the slightly bloody scene made them shudder.
But Li Wenxi was not afraid, instead she felt a little excited. She showed an excited expression on her face, "Wow, Xu Xin, are you so strong? If he doesn't obey me, I'll crush his other hand too!"
"嘤!" Coco also cried out in her arms, echoing her, although it didn't understand what it meant to crush its hands.
"Ah, this..." Qi Xuefei looked at Li Wenxi, speechless, and could only shake her head helplessly.
These two guys are such a perfect match...
As a doctor, she actually couldn't stand seeing someone being abused in front of her.
She was certainly not a saint who repaid evil with kindness, but in her opinion, killing was just killing, and abuse was a bit too much.
But thinking that this person was still abusing and teasing her, and Xu Xin and the other person saved her life, she did not speak to stop him, but kept silent. But she still couldn't support such a thing like Li Wenxi did.
However, now that I think about it, perhaps people with such personalities can more easily survive in this world.
Qi Xuefei turned her eyes away, no longer looking at the man's hand on the ground that looked a little scary because it was crushed. She was afraid that she would be too soft-hearted and want to give him treatment.
"No! I'll tell you everything! Stop torturing me!" Perhaps because the intense pain made the thin man's adrenaline surge, he spoke much louder and faster.
"Then let me ask you, who is this big brother you just mentioned?" Xu Xin squatted in front of him again. This time, the man didn't dare to attack him again. His eyes were full of fear.
"My elder brother is called Ma Hongwei! He is the top expert in District 187. You can't kill me! Otherwise, my elder brother will definitely avenge me!!!"
Perhaps trying to suppress the constant pain in his hand with his emotions, the man held his broken right hand and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Ma Hongwei?!
Xu Xin's eyes fixed.
Ma Hongwei’s brother
Seeing that the thin man wanted to continue yelling at him, Xu Xin immediately punched his scratched face.
"Ah!" With a scream, he was knocked to the ground again.
"Shut your mouth, you just need to answer my question, I ask you, what is your name?"
Xu Xin's voice became low, which frightened the man immensely. With trembling lips, he spoke out his name: "Ma... Ma Hongyu..."
Ma Hongyu... is very similar to Ma Hongwei's name. It seems that this "big brother" is not a recognized big brother, but a real big brother with blood relationship.
What a coincidence! Xu Xin had just met Ma Hongwei today. The distance between the two brothers' tree houses was so close by coincidence...
No, maybe it's not a coincidence.
Xu Xin thought of the two brothers Qin Yunlong and Qin Yunhu. They were very close to each other and had even met each other now.
In this world, people who are related by blood should be placed closer to each other at the beginning, so it might not be a coincidence that he met Ma Hongwei’s blood brother here.
"Ma Hongwei..." Xu Xin muttered to himself, and his thoughts gradually became clearer.
He thought of the unfinished words of Ma Hongwei.
He had asked Ma Hongwei what the difference was between being at home and not being at home, and his answer was: "Of course there is a difference, but I..." and then stopped.
This made Xu Xin think that Ma Hongwei might have some special abilities.
"Were all these heavy crossbows sold to you by Ma Hongwei?" Xu Xin asked again.
“Yes… my eldest brother gave it to me…” Ma Hongyu covered his stomach with his right hand, his expression becoming more and more painful.
"Tell me why you can operate the heavy crossbow so flexibly." Xu Xin grabbed Ma Hongyu's collar, lifted him up, and said in a cold voice.
Ma Hongyu's face was filled with pain and fear. He grabbed Xu Xin's hand with his uninjured hand and shouted, "It has nothing to do with me! It's Big Brother's heavy crossbow! It's because Big Brother gave me the heavy crossbow! Those heavy crossbows can be connected to the tree house's system! He also gave me a panel to control all the heavy crossbows. I can operate them as long as they are installed in the tree house! Let me go, let me go!"
As soon as Xu Xin's hand loosened, he fell directly to the ground, screaming in pain.
really.
Listening to his words, Xu Xin's eyes became brighter and brighter.
Is this Ma Hongwei’s trump card
It seems that Ma Hongwei is one of the talents he is looking for!
After listening to his two sentences of description, Xu Xin could roughly imagine Ma Hongwei's abilities.
The heavy crossbows made by other people, including Xu Xin himself, can only be controlled by using the crossbow's joystick near the wall where it is installed, and the heavy crossbow will not be connected to the tree house system. At most, it can only be turned on in automatic mode, allowing it to shoot when it sees enemy units.
But this has a lot of limitations. For example, if a rabbit steps into the range, will all the heavy crossbows fire at the rabbit? In this way, this automatic function is basically useless.
But Ma Hongwei is different. The heavy crossbow he made should be able to connect to the tree house system for unified operation! At the same time, he can also make a panel to control all the heavy crossbows, just like... a control panel for controlling all weapons!
Perhaps, it is not just the heavy crossbow, it is very likely to include all the tree house external heavy weapons that will appear in the future!
Moreover, from the fact that Ma Hongyu can also control it, it can be seen that his ability is not only usable by him, but can also be used by others!
Although this ability was really of little use in the first stage, after all, almost all activities required the survivors to leave the tree house to explore, so he did not get a very high ranking.
But now it’s different. Now is the second stage. Danger may come at any time, and the tree house is the base for all survivors. If he has this ability, the tree house will truly become a controllable fortress!
To be honest, if Qi Xuefei didn't have this ability, even if she couldn't deal with Ma Hongyu, it wouldn't be a problem for her to escape.
And it is with this ability that Ma Hongyu, a very ordinary survivor, can play around with the strong explorers!
Of course, the prerequisite is that it must be next to his tree house.
Strong! This ability is really strong!
"What's wrong? Do you know this Ma Hongwei?" Li Wenxi asked curiously when he saw Xu Xin's expression changing from time to time, as if he was thinking about something.
"I'll explain it to you after we resolve this matter. You'll be surprised." Xu Xin smiled.
"Oh, okay." Li Wenxi nodded with a confused look on his face.
Xu Xin frowned as he looked at Ma Hongyu, who was still twisting his body and groaning on the ground.
Should I spare his life? Perhaps I can use him to better control Ma Hongwei.
But he didn't have any abilities, not only did he have a bad temper, he also hurt Sister Xuefei and the explorers.
"Sister Xuefei, his tree house is yours. Do you want it?" Xu Xin looked at Qi Xuefei and asked.
At this time, Qi Xuefei had put on the steel armor set that she had taken off the ground. Although it had some bumps and didn't look very nice, its defense was much stronger than the blue-level leather armor set.
It sounds ridiculous to use the human body to fight against heavy weapons. A heavy crossbow would have pierced through most people, but although she was knocked to the ground several times, she did not suffer fatal injuries, which was enough to prove how strong the defense of the steel armor was.
"If you want to give me the tree house, I'll take it, but the person..." Qi Xuefei looked at Ma Hongyu, who was still lying on the ground groaning, with disgust, "I don't want the person. Don't let him come to my place."
“I see.”
As soon as Qi Xuefei finished speaking, Xu Xin swung the halberd in his hand.
Blood spurted out instantly!
Ma Hongyu's head flew diagonally to a place several dozen meters away with an expression of disbelief, fell to the ground with a thud, rolled a few times, and finally stopped moving.
