Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

Outside Peipei Town, the noise faded away.

The broken blood spider corpses were scattered on the ground, emitting a strong fishy smell.

One of them is huge.

But his whole body was riddled with wounds, including stab wounds and explosion scars from crossbow arrows.

As for the insect mother herself.

Of course he was dead.

The worker bee stood beside it, inspecting the results, but was extremely surprised.

"This is……"

How powerful is the masterpiece spring crossbow?

Placed at Green Green's feet was the trophy Lu Meng had obtained before - a thick iron heavy crossbow with excellent craftsmanship, the top-notch work in the spring crossbow series.

The shooting skills of the worker bees themselves are certainly important.

But a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice.

The key to killing a blood spider mother is this weapon.

It can't be done just by relying on the crossbow given by Big Gray.

Thanks for the advance preparation.

Cang Cui loves the crossbow very much, but she can only put the spring crossbow aside for now.

It's just too heavy.

And it was not him who brought the heavy crossbow.

At this moment, behind Green Green, there was a group of warriors dressed in black leather armor. They were the people of Stone Town, the elites carefully selected from the swamp people.

Support arrived on time and joined the battle group against the insect tide.

The skinned people were quite uneasy.

These outsiders are neither the subordinate gangs of the Skinned Man, nor do they seem to be other factions in the swamp, and they are not to be underestimated... How can people not be alert when they come outside the town.

Fortunately, judging from the performance.

They are here to help themselves and solve their urgent needs.

Coupled with the guarantee of an acquaintance named Cang Cui, there was no gap between everyone, but they fought side by side.

The Skinner didn't know the situation on the other side of the city, nor did he know that an insect mother had sneaked into the town and was killed by Lu Meng.

This is what they can intuitively feel.

With the death of two (three) insect mothers, the insect tide has caused huge chaos and is still spreading.

The out-of-control blood spiders were fighting each other, but they ignored the exhausted people.

The disintegration of this insect wave is a foregone conclusion.

As for whether there will be new female insects born in this insect wave.

That will happen later.

At least from now on until the next season, Skinned Town will have a brief and peaceful period.

"Green..." A skinned man came forward and said nothing, but solemnly patted his shoulder to express his gratitude.

It can be said that this time the insect wave can be resolved so quickly.

It all depends on the help of their friends.

No matter what the positions of both parties are, the friendship forged will never be erased.

Green shook her head.

Looking in the other direction, the atmosphere is not as relaxing as expected.

Seto's body was all jagged and jagged, and he was half-kneeling on the ground. Zhanqing's straight knife was stuck on the side, and drops of blood were flowing down.

But in front of her was an iron-gray twisted humanoid.

Knowing that the skeleton man's body structure was completely different from that of living things, and that he did not need to maintain a posture to breathe smoothly, Seto still helped him up and let the machine half lean on the tree trunk.

She just felt like she should do it.

Similarly, Seto pressed the 'wound' on the skeleton man's body that was pierced by the blood spider's claws, and black liquid, smooth and sticky, flowed out from between his fingers.

She couldn't apply pressure to stop the bleeding like first aid.

In the metal cavities, all kinds of parts were damaged.

"Mr. Bone Man, you are bleeding..." the little princess murmured.

Waves of exhaustion after the madness came over her head, making her feel a little groggy. It was as if everything happening in front of me was not reality, but a dream.

A burst of chaotic current sounded.

The sound generator returned to normal, but the volume was horribly low.

"Silly boy," the skeleton seemed to be laughing, "This is not bleeding, this is called oil leakage..."

Hearing this, Seto couldn't help but grin.

She thought to herself: It turns out that they also have a sense of humor.

However, I couldn't laugh.

The skinned men around him also had solemn expressions.

For humans, such a penetrating injury is serious, but it is not incurable.

There are also several experienced surgeons in their city, who have treated many skinners on weekdays.

However, the other party is a skeleton.

No matter how superb the medical skills are, standing in front of a machine is helpless.

"Brother..." someone spoke, but the words behind him were choked up.

To the skinners.

The Skeleton Man has always been one of the Skinned Men.

Although his face is expressionless and sometimes rigid, you don't know whether he can understand other people's concerns and gratitude - perhaps, to him, all this is just a small spark in the operation of a logic circuit. fleeting...

However, they have become accustomed to the existence of skeleton men.

He has been here as long as the big boss, but even Big Gray will grow older year by year, while the skeleton man is still the same as before, at most he adds a little bit of weather from time to time.

They thought this would all go on like this.

His sons and grandsons... can still see this Skeleton Man, grow up under his care, join the Skinners, fight against the insect tide, protect the town, and so on.

That's how it should be.

However, the scene they saw before them told them.

This mechanical companion may have to leave them forever, just like countless other companions of the Skinned Man.

It was as if he noticed the expressions of the people being skinned.

The camera on the skeleton man's forehead rotated and the white light flashed off.

"Nothing lasts forever," he said.

To the world, the Skeleton Man has a long life, but because of this, they have witnessed the destruction of countless things, including themselves.

In fact, because the data is deleted regularly.

Except for those few major events that must be remembered, he could not remember very clearly the details of repeated history in the past. The days in Skinning Town in recent decades formed the largest part of Skeleton Man's memory.

He turned to the silent Seto again.

Seeing another inch of new bone horn growing on her head, the Skeleton Man said:

"You are indeed a descendant of law enforcers."

Seto was stunned: "Mr. Skeleton Man, what do you mean..."

The Skeleton Man recalled the changes that occurred in her body when she rushed towards the Blood Spider and did not answer.

This was another sin of the Second Reich.

Since the world has forgotten it, there is no need to mention it again.

"You and Lu Beiyou are going to Shark Village, so do me a favor," the Skeleton Man said. "Go to the boss of the 'Dancing Skeleton Man' and tell him that Sola the Skinned Man has shut down..."

...Sora. When he said it, the skeleton man was in a trance.

I don't know how long I haven't used this name.

Once upon a time, all Skeleton Men had only numerical codes.

Also during the Second Empire.

They just learned to give themselves a decent codename like humans...

He was the only skeleton man in Peeling Town.

Even if you don’t use your name as a pronoun, everyone can understand it.

But in Shark Village, there is more than one Skeleton Man, so it’s better to make it clear.

"...Then, please bring this news to Neil... so that the unlucky guy doesn't have to wait... Yes, just say that, they will understand."

The skeleton man Sora glanced at the skinned men around him, but did not entrust this request to them.

I have lived in human society for many years.

But not every skeleton man is like him.

Compatriots who have survived until now are often wary of the outside world.

Especially Sadnir...that guy wouldn't want anyone else to know his hiding place.

Seto agreed silently.

At this time, Sola's fuel was almost exhausted, and the white light on the camera gradually dimmed.

The skeleton man no longer moves his limbs, but supplies the last energy to the smart chip. When all the power is exhausted and the data is cleared, he will be completely dead.

Even if he could be revived and restarted, I'm afraid he wouldn't be the one anymore.

However, this is human philosophy, and Sora doesn't care.

'Stober...' The Bone Man thought silently in his heart.

If he spoke, it would probably look like a prayer, no different from the human believers chanting Auckland.

However, Stober is not a god name that exists in any religion.

Sora felt that the chaotic circuits had calmed down a lot.

Maybe I didn't do anything wrong.

"Is there really no other way..." The Skeleton Man heard the young girl from the Shark tribe, a descendant of the law enforcers, say this.

He had turned off the optical sensing and just tilted his head following the sound.

"If there is a [Skeleton Man Repair Kit]..." Sola stopped talking.

[Skeleton Repair Kit], similar to the medical module, is also the technological crystallization of the ancient civilization of the old empire - the difference is that the latter is used to treat biological diseases and injuries, while the former is used to repair mechanical creations.

But Sora didn't get his hopes up.

Repair kits are only more valuable than medical modules.

And his own reserves have long been exhausted.

The owner of the Dancing Skeleton Bar, there may be some more, and with the mechanical repair bed, he can repair all the damage... But that is in Shark Village, which is too far from Skinning Town.

In a hurry, where can I find extra repair kits...

"Don't worry about it," he adjusted his tone to a relaxed tone, "When I get back, I'll tell Little Gray to find a good place to put my bones in, but don't just throw them into the fish pond... …”

By now.

Sora no longer cared about their human rules and called them by their nickname when they first met.

Obviously, that person was just a little kid from the beginning.

After a few decades, he became old-fashioned and looked at him as a young man...

"...By the way, it's better not to bury it." Sora paused, "Take out my electrical components and use them as backup for the generator; don't waste other metal parts, send them to the blacksmith shop, or sell them It's all good……"

The metal used in his body is a good material for forging armor.

I heard that many people were purchasing them secretly, and even used them to hunt Skeleton Men - this only exacerbated the mutual distrust between the two parties.

Sora thought.

Rather than giving others an advantage, it is better to give it to your own family...

However, the Skeleton Man didn't see it.

Many skinners have already shed tears.

"Wait...Mr. Sola." At this moment, a strange voice came from around everyone.

I saw a figure who looked like a leader standing out among the soldiers dressed in black, who was about to come this way.

"Stop!" Several skinners stepped forward to stop him and glared at him.

Anyone could tell that their skeleton brother was 'arranging his funeral arrangements'.

How can I allow you to disturb me at this time?

"Ah Quan?" Cang Cui and Seto were no strangers to him.

And in a sense, this swamp man from Huangshui Village got to know Lu Meng earlier than anyone else present, and he was considered one of the backbone.

In the blink of an eye, young people have become seniors.

The worker bees quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Don't get me wrong," Ah Quan quickly explained, "I want to say..."

"Mr. Sola, is this the [Skeleton Man Repair Kit] you are talking about?"

He opened the suitcase in his hand, revealing a variety of brass-colored parts, and even brand-new and clear engine oil... As for other higher-end structures, no one present could tell.

There are also indecipherable words engraved on the suitcase, which seem to be from many years ago.

"……yes!"

Sola's camera suddenly lit up and he was stunned for a moment: "How could you have such a thing..."

His voice was still a mechanical sound, but combined with the scene, anyone could hear the shock and confusion in his words.

After all, the opponent seemed to be just a local force in the swamp.

There is no Skeleton Man in the team, so preparing these repair kits is useless, how can you just take them out.

"...It belongs to Mr. Lu." Ah Quan answered truthfully.

This is the 'funeral object' recovered from the remains of the Skeleton Man in the 'forbidden area' of Huangshui Village - one of them is the repair kit prepared by the Skeleton Man craftsman for himself.

Lu Meng had always carried it with him, but just gave it to others for safekeeping.

His idea is that although there is no skeleton man in the team yet, if he needs to use it, it will be too troublesome to find him temporarily.

If you don't need it for a while, you can also trade it as hard currency when you meet a skeleton character in Shark Village.

In exchange for some information and support.

Under everyone's surprised gazes, Ah Quan placed the repair kit next to Sora.

He had been silent just now and was rummaging through the supplies.

This is not a matter of one's own initiative - according to Mr. Lu's prior instructions, such a situation is exactly when it is used, and one should adapt accordingly.

Missing an opportunity is a mistake.

"Can this be used?" The skinners were extremely excited and came forward one after another.

"Yes..." Sora said.

He felt that his circuit was being impacted, and suddenly his computing power was a little insufficient.

Traveling north...

Hearing the Bone Man's affirmative answer, the skinned people were overjoyed. Those accomplices who had stopped Ah Quan in the past also hurriedly came forward to apologize, fearing that the other party would misunderstand him.

Ah Quan knew that he was impatient before, so he was not angry at all.

But when he was being thanked, he had a thought in his mind and reminded him at the right time: "It's all Mr. Lu's orders, and we all follow orders..."

This should help Mr. Lu.

And, this is also the truth.

Seto held the straight knife, stood up, walked to Cang Cui, and asked quietly:

"How's it going with the teacher?"

"Everything should be solved." The worker bee nodded, "But..."

He did not doubt that Lu Meng could defeat Big Gray, but how to deal with the follow-up matters was the key.

When he returns to Peeling Town, will he be greeted by a feast or a harpoon cannon...

You can only trust him first.

"I said..." At this time, a mechanical sound sounded, and he said weakly, "Who can help me up first?"

Sola was half leaning on the tree trunk, looking at the brightly lit Peipei Town where the sounds of fighting were dying down.

Sadnier, maybe your idea is not necessarily right.

The outside world is not bad either.

"Forget it, come on, be a handy person and I'll teach you..."
