In Ren Zhong's memory, human civilization is pushed forward four thousand years. From the beginning of the Xia Dynasty when Yangcheng was established as the capital, human beings have had the existence of a country.
Now, the speculation that there would be no country in the world suddenly came to his mind, making him feel a sense of illusion.
But it was not convenient for him to ask directly, so he kept his doubts in his heart.
There is a huge parking lot outside Xinghuo Town near the city gate. When Ren Zhong and others arrived, they saw a spectacular scene.
Trucks of various sizes rushed out of the city gate one after another, just like the racing scene in "Mad Max".
A small number of trucks are suspended like the assembled van trucks of Zheng Tian's team.
Most trucks are still equipped with various types of large wheels or tracks.
In addition, some people ride various types of motorcycles with unique shapes.
As for the largest number, there are some walkers with relatively simple equipment, either walking alone or in twos and threes.
Zheng Tian said in a slightly proud tone: "Although they are jockeying for position now, our hover car is far superior to these scrap metal wheels in terms of performance, speed and top speed capabilities.
.After they get out of the door, for a few minutes at most, we will let them just follow behind and eat ashes."
She really wasn't bragging, the equipment configuration of Zheng Tian's team was indeed above average.
Ren Zhong's eyes turned to the other side involuntarily.
There were six people riding a single vehicle shaped like a motorboat, slowly floating out of the closed garage in the corner of the parking lot.
Six "motorboats", one large and five small, lined up in a line and drove towards the city gate silently.
The six people in the car were of various shapes, wearing uniform blue clothing and full-coverage hoods like motorcycle helmets.
Compared with other scavengers, this team is obviously different in terms of equipment and momentum, making it stand out from the crowd.
The reactions of others are also consistent with the feeling of responsibility.
The scavengers blocking the front of the six-man team took the initiative to move aside to give way before the opponent came close.
"This is one of the three professional teams directly under the resource company. Our trading account is under their banner."
Zheng Tian noticed Ren Zhong's eyes and said one more thing.
Ou Youning, who was about to get in the car, cursed behind the two of them, "A bunch of vampires."
Ren Zhong asked calmly: "What is their commission ratio?"
Zheng Tian: "Twenty percent."
"So high?" Ren Zhongdao was surprised, "Why don't you find another professional team?"
Zheng Tian shrugged, "There is no way. Others won't accept us. Don't worry, we will become a professional team sooner or later. Okay, don't talk about this anymore, let's go."
…
In the vast wilderness, a box truck headed south.
Ren Zhong was still crowded in the back seat, with Chen Hanyu on his left and Ou Youning on his right.
Chen Hanyu, who was so close to Ren Zhong, was still taciturn and unsmiling.
Ren Zhong didn't care about her indifference, nor did he care about the passive touching between the two.
When he was studying, he was too focused on his studies more than once, and turned a blind eye to various hints from his pretty female classmates. In the end, he was given various nicknames by his classmates at different times, the typical representative of which was "Aloof Study Demon"
, "The ruthless book gnawing machine".
Of course, this is other people's misunderstanding of Ren Zhong.
He is neither cold nor heartless.
It was just his desire for knowledge that spurred him to keep moving forward. He felt that his energy was limited and he was reluctant to spend his precious time on meaningless campus love.
He did not reject women, but he felt that the time had not come yet.
Who would have thought that after finally succeeding in school, I felt that I should seriously consider finding a virtuous wife, and that my life would be short-lived when I started a family and started a career.
Since waking up, his situation has become even more subtle.
In the past, the reason why he deliberately ignored other people's ambiguous looks stemmed from his desire for knowledge and his motivation for self-realization of the value of life.
Now that he is better, his needs have plummeted from realizing the value of life to more basic survival, which is stronger and more urgent.
Only when people have solved their survival needs can they think about what life should be like.
…
A few minutes after leaving the dealership, Zheng Tian began to tell Ren Zhong some precautions.
"Since it's a run-in, let's be conservative. The place we're going to today is the Iron Worm Forest, which is 124 kilometers away from the town. There are basically first-level beasts in the Iron Worm Forest, and the most numerous ones are insects. With you
The Crystal Wing Ting that was solved yesterday is pretty much the same thing. Let me tell you about each of the five of us first. We have all passed the first-level professional title evaluation, and I am a first-level gunsmith. Wen Lei..."
As the name suggests, the professional characteristics of the gunsmith are mainly high-power long-range weapons.
Wen Lei is a defensive heavy-armored mecha warrior who plays the role of main melee defense in the team.
Mecha warriors mainly rely on the mechanical exoskeleton on their bodies to fight. In addition to having a strong body, they must also learn some basic mechanical engineering principles.
There are many types of mechas in the world, not only Wen Lei's full-coverage heavy armor that focuses on defense, but also many types such as spider tanks, light and fast armors, comprehensive combat armors, etc.
Chen Hanyu has long known that he has a heavy career responsibility, as a dismantler.
Bai Feng's profession is that of a colonial warrior. The genes of these people are very specific, and they have been proven to have the potential for reproductive transformation when they were young. They will be experimentally implanted with allogeneic cells, and after surviving the immune backlash, they will be in the body.
Forming a subtle state in which the genes of multiple different species coexist, in order to obtain the physical characteristics and athletic abilities of other creatures on the planet. Bai Feng serves as the main melee attacker in the team.
As for Ou Youning, who is full of pockets, he is a demolitionist. He mainly plays with explosives and advocates explosion as an art. Although hunting beasts usually focuses on encounters, if you are lucky, you can discover the beasts in advance.
By knowing its whereabouts, you can make careful preparations and lay out various explosion traps according to the characteristics of the target beast, so as to achieve the goal of defeating the strong with the weak.
"Brother Ren Zhong, I am not bragging to you. As long as you give me enough time and enough materials, the explosion trap I made can kill even the third-level Ruins! As for the second-level Ruins, I have killed several of them now!
"
When Zheng Tian introduced her abilities, Ou Youning held his head high proudly and his tail almost went up to the sky.
Zheng Tian: "You can pull me down and stop being so cynical. Although the Iron Worm Forest is dominated by level 1 beasts, there are still level 2 beasts occasionally. It is not cost-effective to deal with level 2 beasts with our current equipment level.
Even if you win, you will lose blood. If you encounter one, you have to stay away. Not to mention the third level one!"
Ou Youning scratched his head, "Hey, I just want brother Ren Zhong to rest assured and believe in our strength."
Zheng Tian: "Since you have no clear career preference yet, you will stay with Han Yu later and be responsible for protecting her safety. This is your gun, take it. This is the standard of the night watchman in the town.
The equipment, the caliber is 5.22 mm, the power is moderate, each magazine has forty-five rounds of bullets. I added a quadruple scope."
"good."
Ren Zhong silently tightened his grip on the machine gun in his hand.
This was the first time in his life that he touched a weapon.
He appeared calm, but his heartbeat could not help but accelerate.
Ren Zhong knows what this means.
In this strange world, holding a gun in your hand is equivalent to holding a glimmer of hope.
Although this was his first time actively hunting, the profound lessons he learned from his tragic death at the hands of hunters and various beasts outside the dense forest had already made him clearly aware that the world was full of dangers and that human lives were like nothing.
Ren Zhong: I can definitely do it!
…
Death.
Ren Zhong died again.
Very hasty.
Extremely sloppy.
Not only was he dead, but the entire Zheng Tian team was also wiped out.
In the morning, Zheng Tian was still very confident about the future, which almost gave Ren Zhong the illusion that something was going to happen. She was good at pretending and could really make a name for herself.
Unexpectedly, just two hours later, this semi-professional team that ranked high in Spark Town would be completely destroyed.
Ren Zhong was floating in the air speechlessly, seizing the last "God's perspective of the underworld" moment to observe the chaotic scene.
A humanoid green shadow was flying left and right close to the ground at an extremely fast speed.
It's so fast that it's almost impossible to follow and capture it with the naked eye.
The last person it targeted was Chen Hanyu, whose upper body was struggling to crawl away.
About thirty seconds ago, Chen Hanyu was cut off at the waist, but she did not die immediately. Her strong will supported her efforts to crawl forward.
At the same time, Green Shadow approached Ren Zhong again, and after completely tearing him apart, he turned back to apply a finishing blow to Chen Hanyu, who had crawled forward nearly five meters and dragged long bloodstains on the ground.
