Yunying officially manages the oasis.
Wilderness settlements are generally loose and backward, barbaric and very primitive, so it is not easy to make this chaotic and disorderly place into order. Fortunately, Yunying has a lot of helpers and a top-quality army, so many orders can go smoothly issued and implemented efficiently.
The arrival of these people has had an impact on this place in every way.
In the corner of Oasis City, in an unremarkable shabby shack, there are three mutants living. They are very withdrawn and don't like to contact other people, but that doesn't mean they have a bad temper. Not all are ignorant and cruel existences.
The Copper Skin family is a typical example of intelligent mutants.
Tongpi is in his thirties, is more than two meters tall, weighs 700 jin, is fat and strong, and is very fierce. Every inch of his skin has a horny layer. Its thickness is comparable to that of a rhinoceros. It can withstand ordinary bullets and ignore them. Intense ultraviolet rays in the wilderness.
Huayan is Tongpi's wife. She is a little thinner than Iron Head. The thinness here is only relative. Added up, she is so big, one punch can knock out the intestines of ordinary people.
The mutant couple gave birth to a son: Nail.
Mutant families are rare in wilderness cities, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
Tie Nail is nine years old. He already weighs more than 100 catties, can lift objects three times his weight, and inherits the strong skin of his father's generation, so he can easily defeat ordinary beasts.
Whether it is copper skin or flower rock, they are all powerful and amazingly destructive. Ordinary wild beasts are no problem at all, and ordinary people dare not provoke them. It stands to reason that they can live a good life, but in reality it is not as easy as they think.
The Tongpi family came to the oasis for a year.
But every day I struggle with food and clothing.
The whole family almost starved to death several times.
The reason for this is very simple. Although the family members are very powerful, even a nine-year-old iron nail can defeat an ordinary strong man, but what matches the huge size and strength is the unimaginable appetite of ordinary people, and the huge Appetite is more fatal than any weakness in a food-poor place like the wilderness.
The three of them can barely survive by eating the food needed by ten strong men a day, and they can barely survive by eating the food needed by fifteen strong men a day. Food for twenty strong men.
That's definitely a huge amount!
Tongpi worked very hard after arriving in the oasis. He had to go to the woods to participate in dangerous hunting every day, while Huayan worked hard in some places in the city that required coolies. Even his nine-year-old son was young, and he had to take his father The furs or materials obtained are brought to the market to be sold.
The whole family is busy from morning to night every day. How can all the food exchanged for labor fill their stomachs? So we can only survive very hard!
"I'm back."
Copper Skin dragged the half-deer back to the narrow and simple shack.
Huayan and Tie Nail were resting inside, and Tie Nail smelled fresh blood, and he woke up immediately hungry, but his stomach was growling.
"That's all this time!" Huayan was a little dissatisfied: "Where is there enough for us to eat! Why are you becoming more and more useless, or you stole it on the way!"
"I met a few very powerful beasts today, and this half of the blade deer was snatched from the bottom of their mouths. You can see that my back is injured." Tongpi showed his wounds with a face of injustice. He worked so hard I went hunting, but I didn’t expect my wife to suspect me when I came back, and I became more and more dissatisfied: "On the contrary, you haven’t gone out to do anything for several days, and you rely on me to hunt this little prey all day. How can our family eat it? .”
Huayan was furious.
Although they are all mutants with high IQ, their personalities are still a bit hotter than ordinary people. "It's not like you don't know. After the new leader came, he was catching children everywhere. If I don't stay to protect the nails, can you go hunting without worry?"
When Tongpi heard this sentence, he froze immediately.
Some people in the oasis are rumoring that the new leader is a monster with demonic power. To maintain this demonic power, he must eat a fresh child's heart every day, so gathering all the children in the entire wilderness city is like feeding They are raised like livestock, just to be able to eat fresh hearts every day.
I don't know where this rumor came from, but the copper skin family was very scared when they heard it. They had seen the power of the new leader. That kind of power really didn't belong to the wilderness, it was definitely a terrifying power that could be formed by demons, so Convinced of the rumors, he carefully hid the nails.
There is no way to go on like this!
People have to eat when they are alive!
Copper was at a loss.
"No, that's not what I heard!" The young mutant couldn't help but say, "I heard that the new leader is a good man, and the other children live in special camps, where they receive training every day and don't have to work, and they even care about food. Just drink it."
"I can't get enough to eat at home, I want to go too!"
"Who did you hear that from?" Tongpi glared at him: "How can such a good thing happen? I have seen the leader before, he is a demon, otherwise how could he have the power of a demon? If you go, you will be killed Cut out the heart!"
Iron Nail hesitated and said, "If it's true..."
"Don't think about it!" Hua Yan also slapped his son's head hard, "From now on, stay here honestly, if I see you dare to run out, I will break your leg! Eat!"
The wilderness family has dinner.
Mutants don't care if the food is cooked or not.
Huayan tore off a plump fresh deer leg and gave it to the iron nail, which was still covered with blood. The iron nail was so hungry that he gnawed on it with great relish, until the bones were clean.
Half a deer is enough to feed an ordinary person for ten or eight days.
But for the three of them, it was all in one meal.
A deer leg is not good at all.
Tongpihuayan has nothing to do about it. They have no way to provide the food they have followed. Living in the wilderness, how can it be so easy to eat a full stomach. It would be nice not to starve to death today. The less food they eat each day, the weaker they become.
This creates a vicious circle.
In the end, if you don't even have the strength to hunt, it means it's completely over.
Even in a settlement, no one knows what will happen as long as they lose the power to protect themselves. Copper Skin feels a strong pressure to survive, and this kind of pressure is what every wilderness has to face, almost accompanying the wilderness. Most of the time of human life.
Before dawn.
Tongpi was half asleep and half awake when he heard footsteps approaching. He suddenly became alert, and his drowsiness disappeared without a trace. This is an instinct developed for many years living in the wilderness. A dozen warriors in exquisite armor appeared in front of them.
These are the fighters around the demon leader, and each of them is a very terrifying existence.
"The City Lord's Guard!" A soldier wearing the armor of the Condor Corps came out and revealed his identity. "We have received a report that you are hiding the child and preventing him from receiving training."
Tongpi hurriedly said, "No! You're making a mistake!"
The warriors of God's Domain have already seen the children hidden inside through the simple shack: "According to the regulations issued by the city lord, children under the age of fourteen must be trained forcibly. We are here to enforce the law. Please hand over your children."
Tongpi furiously grabbed a stick, "The devil leader can't even think about eating my child!"
"What are you talking about?" Several members of the Condor Corps looked at each other, "Those rumors are groundless, the city lord collects children to train them, let us train them, and take care of their daily food, this is a good thing, hope Cooperate."
Where is the copper skin to be believed
How can there be such a good thing in the world
The Condor Warrior obviously didn't have much patience, and there were still several such messes to deal with in the future, so he directly put on a tough attitude, "Our patience is limited, hand over the child immediately, and don't force us to use force."
Copper Skin was not facing ordinary God's Domain soldiers.
These are all soldiers from the Condor Corps.
Even ordinary Condor fighters are already very powerful, not to mention these who once served as personal soldiers for Bei Chentian, all of them are the best in the Condor Corps, if they really want to fight, Tongskin has no chance of winning.
Nails came out.
Tongpi's face changed greatly: "What are you doing out? Go back!"
"Maybe they didn't lie. I saw the black pig a few days ago. He said exactly the same thing."
Both Tongpi and Huayan were taken aback. Heizhu is also a child. Because he lives nearby, he has a good relationship with Tienail. Heizhu is an orphan who lives by picking up trash all day. He must have been taken away. , Can the child who was taken away by the demon leader come back alive
Aren't the rumors of demon bosses eating children's hearts true
Tie Nail didn't care about his parents' obstruction, he directly chose to follow the soldier.
If you stay here, you will starve to death sooner or later, so it's better to go and see what's going on.
The Copperskin family was terrified by the rumors of the demon leader, but they had never been here to see it for themselves. When they followed the Condor Warrior to the temporary camp specially established for children, the expressions of the two mutants froze on their faces. superior.
A few crooked wilderness words hung on the gate of the camp: Oasis Academy!
The entire camp is called Oasis Academy, where hundreds of children are playing around, and there are no walls or guards near the camp, as if they were imprisoned here, because it was already breakfast time, and the soldiers erected a huge iron All kinds of food are directly thrown into the iron pot for cooking.
The children gathered in front of the large iron pots, waiting for the food to be cooked in an orderly manner. A tempting aroma wafted from the camp, completely stunned Tongpi and Huayan.
Was this really built in just a few days
Seeing the harmonious scene in front of him, Tongpi naturally dispelled the rumors he had heard about the demon leader eating hearts. What Huayan is more concerned about is, if his iron nails can also join, can he have free food every day like these children, and can he be trained by these powerful fighters
After getting an affirmative answer.
Huayan immediately cursed at Tongpi.
If this guy hadn't listened to weird rumors, wouldn't his family know the truth today? It made them hungry and worried for so many days.
This time Tongpi also lost his temper,
He is also very regretful, he shouldn't have listened to rumors, but he is even more curious about this new leader who suddenly occupied the oasis, what kind of person is he, and why is he so different from the previous leader
