Chapter 1392 An accident happened, arriving at Hu Lai City!
Before the medical system in the wasteland was restored, the alchemists who had been prevalent for a period of time in the Middle Ages quietly revived and returned to the world.
They shuttled between the ruins, using the plants they could find locally to invent many novelties, and rediscovered the natural remedies that had been forgotten by modern technology.
From common weeds to rare forest flowers, through repeated trials and attempts, alchemists have created a series of novel and effective potions and treatments. Some can alleviate the pain caused by various diseases, and some can enhance the body's ability to adapt to harsh environments. What's more, it is said that it can temporarily improve people's physical fitness and perception, allowing people to survive in the wasteland more easily. A sense of life.
The person Somo is looking for right now, Daoud Meyer, who is known as the 'Little Shennong' in the future ruins, is one of the best alchemists.
It was his presence that made the survivors gradually change their minds and correctly realize the value of various native plants in the wasteland.
Sumo still clearly remembers that Wan Jingnian lamented more than once that he wrote "Idiosyncratic Prescriptions of Wasteland" and opened Wanyu Tea House to sell plant herbal tea, a large part of which was inspired by Daoud Mei. Yeah the impact.
If this man hadn’t died early in the third year of the wasteland, human research on wasteland plants would have been more than ten times faster.
This is already a very scary number.
You must know that there are at least more than 100,000 people who have become alchemists. The ability of one person to serve as a million people is enough to show the ability of Daoud Meyer.
However, I don’t know if it was because I ran out of luck, but the rest of the trip was a huge disappointment.
Four days later.
When the few people who had gone out to inquire about the news returned to the gathering point as the sky darkened, Lao Zhang finally found out about Daoud Meyer.
"What, dead?"
Su Mo was surprised and opened his mouth: "Where did you get the news? Could it be someone else with the same name? Westerners seem to The phenomenon of duplicate names is quite serious.”
"It shouldn't be because of the same name. Some of the characteristics the man mentioned are consistent with what you told me, Mr. Ji. And he promised to take me to find Daoud Meyer's grave early tomorrow morning. , we will know if he is dead and dug up."
"Isn't he alone? Did someone help bury him?" Luo You was shocked.
During the tense period some time ago, survivors with family members who died did not receive such luxurious treatment.
The most that can be done is to find a roadside burial to prevent the body from being exposed in the wilderness.
As for finding the specific place where it was buried, it is really unthinkable. The person who buried it may not be able to remember it.
"He is indeed a person, but I didn't expect that this guy can do it alone. He is famous for being brave and fierce. It was obviously something that others discovered first, but he insisted on snatching it away. In the end, he didn't expect that he would be honest. He was cornered and he accidentally beat him to death."
Old Zhang said quite speechlessly: "It's a shame that we were still wasting four or five days in this territory. Do you think this kind of person can survive until he is dead? The second year of the earth is also weird. I really don’t know what the environment is now. I still dare to fight with others lawlessly. If it were our Hoshino Alliance, I would probably be sunk that night.”
“That’s it. "The person who killed him placed a grave for him?"
Sumo sighed. In fact, he had a vague hunch when he didn't find anyone the next day.
It’s just that he found that the three people of the Luo family gave him a taste of the sweetness, so he persisted and has not left until now.
Daoud Meyer is indeed not a fuel-efficient person.
In the various biographies of Future Relics, everyone unanimously attributes his death to bad luck. He was accidentally injured on the battlefield between humans and aliens, and unfortunately died prematurely.
However, Sumo learned the true situation from Wan Jingnian's mouth after asking him in many ways.
At that time, there was a special plant that was rumored to be able to revive human flesh and bones, but it needed to absorb a large amount of biological blood to grow.
The purpose of Daoud Meyer sneaking into the battlefield is to find dead people to suck the blood of this plant.
I just didn't expect that the scale of the war would expand and the situation would change dramatically in the blink of an eye.
Before the greedy Daoud Meyer could escape, he was surrounded and killed by aliens in an inconspicuous corner.
Now that the time has advanced a lot, and there is no large-scale melee between humans and aliens, Sumo thought that he could bring him back to his territory before these changes happened. With enough resources to support this, This guy will probably never go outside to commit suicide again.
However, I still didn’t expect that there will never be an end to people seeking death, and Daoud Meyer’s death this time was even more outrageous than in the ruins.
He spent the rest of his life ahead of schedule without even making a name for himself.
However, having said that, it is difficult to say which way of death is more comfortable, between dying in fear on a chaotic battlefield and not being able to find a corpse, or being brave and fighting hard, being accidentally beaten to death and still having a grave to live in.
“Yes, the man who accidentally killed Daoud Meyer was a priest. He not only laid his grave, but also helped him donate all the supplies he left behind.”
"It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a step too late."
After wasting four days here, and getting such a result, Sumo can only sum it up as a pity.
However, this also reminded him that the direction and reality of future ruins have indeed changed dramatically.
Among those talents who unfortunately died, some of them died in the battle between humans and aliens just like the Luo family father and son. There was no problem with their own character or ability.
But there are other people who, like Daoud Meyer, died by themselves.
These people have congenital flaws in their character, and unexpected situations will naturally occur in the changing timeline.
“It seems that the next choice has to be changed. First, gather people with good character to prevent accidents, and then look for those with some flaws after everyone is there.”
There are still 19 names on the list, and this time there is an accident like Daoud Meyer, and Sumo doesn’t know how many he will find in the end.
Fortunately, this trip was not without success. After staying on land for at least four days, Luo Xiang's psychological shadow seemed to have been eliminated a lot. Only occasionally did his eyes flash when the two of them met alone. A trace of resentment.
Soon, the group of people hurriedly returned to the guerrilla boat. After four days of procrastination, they had enough rest.
Everything was packed, and there was no need to organize anything else. After Somo decided on the location, the ship took advantage of the night.
At the same time, the fleet on the other side rushing to the enterprise Hu Lai City finally arrived at the edge of Hu Lai City after nearly a week's voyage.
The northern zone of the southern fire domain.
Compared with the dotted island terrain to the west, the vast and endless wilderness plains to the east, the endless green rainforest landforms to the south, the north direction shows more of the majestic beauty of undulating canyons and mountains.
It is somewhat similar to the Poisonous Insect Valley and the Heartless Valley that often appear in TV dramas. After being covered with primitive forest landforms, the entire area is full of mystery and unknown. The roads between the canyons are complicated and changeable due to the terrain. , has also become extremely rugged and difficult to navigate, as if it is an obstacle specially set up by nature, testing the courage and determination of every creature trying to enter this forbidden land.
But in the wasteland, this is an advantage to a certain extent.
At the very least, even if the aliens start a war in a short period of time, they will not set their sights on this area. The company's Hu Lai City was also placed in the north direction, located in a huge canyon.
The east and west sides of the canyon are covered by dense virgin forests, with towering trees and lush branches, providing a natural green barrier for the hidden Hu Lai City, making the interior more private and quiet.
There is a tributary of the Giant Dragon Immortal River passing through the canyon in the north and south. Due to the difference in terrain, the river is rushing endlessly, and the deafening roar can be heard several kilometers away.
Fortunately, the company still retains its infrastructure capacity, and after building the dam, there is no need to worry that the tributaries will burst and hit the city.
The entire river passes by the edge of Hu Lai City and flows straight forward into the main trunk of Julongxian River.
With Hu Lai City as the center and along the upper and lower banks of the river, the survivors who came here took root here.
Under the cover of darkness, the huge frigate quietly sailed into the tributary, and finally anchored in a deep valley with few human traces.
If there were not hundreds of thousands of survivors staying around Hu Lai City and there was a deal with the expedition team, there would be no problem even if the frigate drove straight past.
But there are too many survivors now, and with the Mine Island Alliance as an example, it is still not appropriate to show off.
Not long after, two sampans were pushed out from the stern cargo hold and plunged into the water.
“You just stay on the ship and wait for news. If someone finds out, don’t take action directly. It is best to persuade them to leave and move to another place so as not to attract the attention of the company.”
Feng Long explained a lot, and finally chose to bring his own Longming team as a safety guarantee, while the rest stayed on the ship to guard and respond.
This is the most correct choice for the present. No matter how much trouble a person gets into, he will not run away.
"It's a pity that the guy with the nuclear rifle was sent to the giant tree root territory, otherwise he would have been excited to death." Observer Ming Wujing, who was packing his equipment, said with a smile.
The assault operator Si Chunyi on the side also smiled: "That's okay, let's go take some photos and print them out to show him the same effect."
After that , the two of them simultaneously looked at the sniper in the team, the 'God of Death' Bai Shougen.
The latter's eyes flickered slightly. Although he didn't say anything, it was clear that he was already planning various strategies in his mind and was ready to make a move.
At this time, Feng Long walked in, and at a glance he knew what the three of them were thinking.
He coughed lightly: "Okay, set off as soon as you're ready. It's hard to rush during the day when there are so many people."
Counting his team, there were four people in total, and on the other side It's Su Chan, Xi Ruyue, Chu Chaofei, seven people and two sampans are completely enough.
Following the slightly turbulent tributary, the two sampans untied their fixed ropes. The guards left on the deck watched and waited until the ships disappeared from sight before going back to rest.
There are detailed maps left by the expedition team, and the terrain of each canyon is extremely clearly marked.
From here, it is less than a hundred kilometers away to reach the outer gathering place of the survivors.
A few dozen kilometers further is where Hu Lai City is located.
Ming Wujing and Si Chunyi were in charge of rowing the boat, while everyone else lay in the cabin and closed their eyes.
However, looking at Su Chan sleeping peacefully next to her, Xi Ruyue was lying in the cabin tossing and turning. It was pitch dark and she couldn't see her surroundings. Listening to the sound of water flow, she could not help but have random thoughts.
Corporate Hulay City is no secret on the World Channel.
In other words, as time goes by, these blue star cities that have descended on the wasteland are no secret.
In the process of being gradually discovered, someone will inevitably mention it on the World Channel, and then the scale of discussion will be formed.
Even if the survivors ignore these sporadic topics of conversation because they are busy, they can still hear about it from those who like to surf channels.
As one of the Blue Star cities discovered by humans in the wasteland, Hu Lai City is one of the largest in scale.
Coupled with the fact that the company is one of the three major forces of Blue Star, it stands to reason that it should be sought after by the survivors, at least gathering over a million people to try their luck.
But now there are only between 100,000 and less than 200,000 people in the surrounding area, and it has not been able to attract many new survivors. This speaks volumes.
Although location disadvantages exist, the main problem lies in the attitude of enterprises in contacting survivors.
What does it mean to be early without profit?
Enterprises vividly explain this point. Ordinary survivors, not to mention wanting the protection of enterprises, are not even qualified to get close to them.
It's helpless to think about it. If a large-scale disaster really strikes, the company may just watch the survivors on the periphery die.
However, the purpose of everyone staying here is very clear, just to try their luck and chance.
Xi Ruyue tossed and turned and thought about the purpose of Sumo sending them here. Is it just to visit Hu Lai City?
Unlikely, a Hu Lai City would not need to let Su Chan, a biological sister, come over.
There must be interests here that Sumo can appreciate, so they were asked to come here first to inquire about information.
Chu Chaofei on the other side was also thinking wildly, feeling a little anxious as he listened to Feng Long's purring in his ears.
Unlike Xi Ruyue, who was valued by Sumo, he was completely a dispensable partner.
This is enough to observe Soma’s attitude.
When facing Xi Ruyue, Sumo always spoke in a teaching tone, but gave him straightforward instructions.
On the surface, it seems that Xi Ruyue is not doing well enough and is not reassuring enough.
But in fact, Sumo treats Xi Ruyue more like a grooming person, and the chance of being replaced becomes smaller in the future.
In Chu Chaofei's opinion, any other person could do the things he was told to do, and they would not necessarily be worse than him.
This corporate trip is a rare opportunity.
You must show irreplaceability or potential throughout the entire process, so that you can be valued by Sumo in the future.
Chu Chaofei thought so, his anxiety gradually disappeared, and he fell asleep unconsciously.
And when he opened his eyes again, he could already see many sparks not far away. There were also houses built by humans on both sides of the river bank. The land opened up was filled with a strong atmosphere of life.
Hu Lai City is here!
