The wilderness has no shortage of ruins.
What a glorious civilization it was.
How lost are the ruins now.
These once glorious places have become lairs for scavengers and wild beasts.
However, the ruins are not completely worthless. Some ruins can not only dig out the wisdom of pre-civilization, but also directly dig out tools and even weapons from the mysterious ancient technology era.
People often prefer to call such places relics.
The southern wilderness is vast and sparsely populated, full of dangers, and some places are full of opportunities.
One of the areas called Shataba is full of various piles of ruins. There are many inspirational stories about lucky people who picked up the legendary weapons and jumped to the sky. Many of these stories have been processed and exaggerated in the circulation. Even deduced into a different version.
But for the scavengers living here.
These stories are the beacons of life.
So they firmly believe in this, they firmly believe that this is a miraculous place that can change fate, so thousands of scavengers gather here.
However, just because of the gathering of nearly ten thousand scavengers, this already extremely complex environment has become a breeding ground for crimes, where snatching and killings occur every day, and it is also a hunting ground for wild beasts, where there are a large number of weak scavengers every day Those who died without a whole body.
But it's very dangerous, and there are always people who insist.
The young Gray Rabbit and his younger sister Xiao Chong are one of them.
Wilderness Sometimes the name can often represent the ability.
Seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys are called Gray Rabbit, mainly because the boy runs as fast as a rabbit, and his skin looks gray, so people call him Gray Rabbit, the escaped Gray Rabbit.
Gray Rabbit has a younger sister, Xiaochong, who is about the same age as him. Xiaochong is born small, thin and weak. Although he is about the same age as Gray Rabbit, he looks only in his early ten years and is very timid. For bugs, timid bugs.
The two are undoubtedly the lowest-level scavengers in the wilderness. They dare not conflict with others, dare not fight with others, and dare not go to crowded places. Ants, it can also find its own way of survival.
The strong have the way of the strong, and the weak have the way of the weak.
Sometimes the strong do not necessarily live longer than the weak.
None of the gray rabbit brothers and sisters are capable of hunting. The main way of making a living is to dig ruins. This large stretch of open-air ruins used to be a huge manufacturing base in the old days, where various machines could be produced. After tens of thousands of years, some things are still not damaged.
The gray rabbit can dig out some intact parts through the ruins, and they will secretly hide these parts secretly. He is not only very good at running, but also very smart, just like a cunning rabbit who always puts his property in different places. place.
Xiaochong is different from her elder brother. Xiaochong is very weak and can't move heavy things, but she has a talent that everyone can't match. She has a very high talent for machines. Although she has not received any training, she can She can observe and study the excavated artifacts and blueprints, and then use the parts to assemble various relatively complete components.
The division of labor between the two is very simple.
The elder brother, Gray Rabbit, specializes in looking for useful parts and materials, while the younger sister, Xiao Chong, is responsible for assembling new parts, and finally brings these things to the camp to sell, so that the value of the parts themselves can be increased several times.
That's how they survived.
Weakness in itself is not fatal, as long as there is a way to earn a living.
The dream of the two is to dig out a treasure of sufficient weight, then they can change their fate like those legendary predecessors in countless inspirational stories, and live in a safer city of Shataba from now on.
These scavengers know nothing of the world beyond.
In their eyes, Shataba City is the center of the world.
Shataba City is the most endowed and safest place in the world.
Xiaochong successfully completed another piece of work.
This thing looks like an ugly insect.
The surface and body of the insect are entangled with complex circuits. When the bug connected the circuit to a broken battery made by itself, several propellers creaked and the ugly metal insect slowly flew into the air.
"Great!" Gray Rabbit was very happy, "This thing can definitely be exchanged for a piece of stinky rat meat!"
Xiao Chong wiped off his sweat and heaved a sigh of relief. Both of them hadn't tasted meat for several days. If the small aircraft could be exchanged for a piece of meat, it would be worth the hard work for so many days.
The two took out a dirty cloth to wrap the ugly iron insect.
They hope to find the wilderness merchant who came to buy as soon as possible.
Whether you can eat meat or not depends entirely on this transaction.
The camp is actually very small, not so much a camp as a small stronghold for people to exchange supplies, because there is no decent residence here, and the number of people gathered inside is only three or two hundred at most.
When Gray Rabbit and Xiao Chong walked in sneakily, a burly man came over and stopped in front of the two of them. Seeing this, the expressions of the two changed drastically. Gray Rabbit hurriedly told Xiao Chong to go, but Xiao Chong had just Looking back, there were also two fierce men standing behind them with knives.
Gray Rabbit pulled out the dagger and shouted tremblingly: "What are you doing!"
"What are you doing?" The boss walked over with a smirk, "I heard that you two trash can always come up with some strange things, show them to us today!"
Xiao Chong hugged the cloth bag in his arms tightly, and the gray rabbit shouted angrily: "Don't even think about it!"
"Do you think I'm discussing with you?"
Gray Rabbit didn't see clearly.
With a pain in his wrist, the dagger was sent flying and broke in two on the ground.
Gray Rabbit wanted to turn its head and run away, but was kicked over, and then picked up by the opponent with one hand.
"Here, I'll give you everything!" Xiao Chong screamed in horror, and she hastily handed over the cloth bag: "Let go of brother!"
"You want him to live? It's not impossible!" The leader looked at Xiao Chong's thin body, "Although there is no material, but she is a woman anyway, if you take care of our brothers every day in the future, you will be honest for us. Work, we can spare his life."
Gray Rabbit shouted: "Don't! Don't!"
The leader became furious and slapped out several teeth of Gray Rabbit.
Xiaochong said, "I'll go, I'll go, I'll go with you!"
"That's what makes sense."
The leader smiled sinisterly, and waved to his subordinates. The two of them were about to grab Xiao Chong, but at this moment, a voice came from behind.
"You are quite courageous, you dare to touch my Sand Tiger's guests!"
The three wilderness thugs were taken aback for a moment, and then looked over with apprehension on their faces.
A young man dressed completely differently from the scavengers came out. This young man looked less than thirty years old. He was tall and strong with a shaved head. He was covered with various metal ornaments and equipment from head to toe. He was wearing a spider-like elastic suit. Machine armor, and beside him was a masked big man.
It really is a sand tiger!
The expressions of the three wilderness thugs changed!
Shahu is not an ordinary person, and no one knows its specific origin.
Shahu comes from Shataba City, even in Shataba City, he has a high status.
This guy often comes to the camp every now and then to use food or weapons to buy various parts unearthed by the scavengers, so he has a high prestige among the scavengers. He never bullies these scavengers, and his actions are quite fair, so Scavengers are willing to trade with him.
The gray rabbit and the sand tiger have traded more than ten times.
The leader became angry from embarrassment: "Mind your own business!"
Shahu smiled and said: "They are my long-term trading partners. If you capture them, I will suffer losses. How can you say meddling in matters that are related to your own interests? I advise you to let them go. I can spare your life."
"What do you think you are!" The leader clenched his fists and roared angrily, "How dare you be arrogant to Lao Tzu here? Get on me and kill him!"
Wilderness is just that.
If there is a disagreement, they will be killed.
Life is so cheap.
Sand tiger background is not simple? Hmph, no matter what his background is, at worst, after killing and looting them all, he pats his ass and flies away. No matter how much background he has, what can he do to them
"It's really courting death!"
The big masked man behind the sand tiger suddenly took a step forward and stood in front of the sand tiger. Two thugs' knives slashed at it, only two harsh and crisp sounds were heard, and a big hole was torn from the clothes. There are traces of metal on the inside.
When the two were terrified.
The big man struck out with two punches like lightning, and the heads of the two were smashed apart like watermelons. The shattered skull and brain tissue splashed all over the ground. Not a living person, but a huge machine monster.
He screamed and was about to run away.
There was a deafening gunshot.
The leader looked desperately at the pierced chest.
This is obviously an end that he never dreamed of.
"Do you dare to be rampant with such little ability?" Shahu blew on the muzzle of the super-large-caliber revolver in his hand, and then walked in front of the two: "I have been observing you for a while, and you two seem to be a little capable, but it's just too much. Weak, if you continue to stay in this place, you will be killed sooner or later, why not hang out with me in the future, and I will take you to Shataba City."
Both were shocked.
"But we are not eligible to enter Shataba yet."
Shataba City is the largest wilderness city here. It is not impossible for scavengers like them to go in, but first they have to pay an astonishing amount of fees, and then they have to pay regular and fixed taxes every month. Conditions are impossible.
"Haha, it was different before, but now in Shataba City, my father Shavi is the city owner, and now I have the final say!" Shahu made no secret of his identity, "As long as you two are with me, Shataba will Will use you again!"
The son of the mayor
When did Shataba change the city lord
