Mechanical Flesh

At night, the fire piled up and burning with corpses outside the town lasted for a long time, and Blackstone Town ushered in the quietest night in the past five years.

Two consecutive battles hurt Heishi Town to the bone. Although Qi Yuan played a quadruple kill against the second-order transcendent in Xinyue Town and forced the opponent's attack back, the number of casualties in Heishi Town still reached 270. Twelve people, the number of injuries is even more terrifying, almost everyone has injuries on their bodies.

After this battle, Qi Yuan and Situ did not meet each other tacitly. Situ commanded the remaining soldiers and hunters to start rebuilding the collapsed houses in Heishi Town, while Qi Yuan stayed alone in his room. Except for Hu Hao who came over that night After chatting for a while, only Luo Shiyi came over and took away the Death Harvest with a broken scope for maintenance.

Early the next morning, after Qi Yuan finished washing, he put down the towel and looked at himself in the mirror.

The two bullet holes left by the ghost gun had already scabbed over, and the scars disappeared after rubbing lightly, and the newborn skin hardly showed any signs of injury except for a slight paleness.

"Recovering well."

Qi Yuan touched the wound on the back of his neck, and there were also no traces. After possessing both steel defense and steel power, the body's self-healing speed seemed to be a little faster.

Afterwards, Qi Yuan felt the extraordinary power in his body, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The extraordinary power that was consumed by the annihilation warhead during the battle yesterday has been fully restored after a full meal last night and a night's rest.

"Qi Yuan, open the door!"

Master Luo's weak and obscene voice came from outside the door.

Qi Yuan paused for a moment, opened the door, and saw Master Luo standing outside, holding a wooden food box in his hand.

"Hey! I know you should be hungry, so I brought you something good!" Master Luo said as he raised the food box.

Qi Yuan's nose moved slightly, and he smelled a strong fragrance, as well as a smell of cumin.

"It smells good, it should taste good!"

"This is the hind leg of the rock lizard you killed!" Master Luo said mysteriously:

"I baked this thing last night, and I added some mysterious seasonings to it, all of which are good things brought by those hunters from other places!"

Master Luo walked in with the food box, put the things on the table in the room, and found a chair to sit down.

Opening the food box, there is a large plate of roasted meat that has been roasted until it is browned, and a layer of powdered seasoning is sprinkled on it.

After bringing out the barbecue, Master Luo took out two palm-sized tin kettles from the food box, unscrewed the lid, and the rich aroma of wine wafted out instantly.

“Good meat with good wine!”

Master Luo took a deep breath and couldn't help swallowing.

After Qi Yuan sat down, Master Luo didn't use chopsticks, and directly tore off a piece of steaming barbecue with his hands, stuffed it into his mouth, and said while eating:

"Try it too. My barbecue skills are superb. Situ wanted to try it, but I didn't agree!"

Qi Yuan also took a sip, and his mouth was full of fragrance.

“The taste is really good!”

Master Luo took a sip of his wine, laughed all over, and began to eat, Qi Yuan did not show weakness, and a whole five catties of roast meat quickly went into the stomachs of the two of them.

After becoming an extraordinary person, he will not lose his strength even if he does not eat for a few days. Similarly, the amount of food he eats every time also rises in a straight line!

Qi Yuan didn't touch the jug on the table. After drinking up the jug in front of him, Master Luo seemed to be a little bit unsatisfied. He picked up the jug that Qi Yuan hadn't touched, took another sip, and took a drink in satisfaction. Hiccup, he put down the flagon and asked in a low voice:

"Where are you going after you leave Blackstone Town?"

Qi Yuan didn't answer, but chuckled lightly and said, "Situ asked you to come?"

"That's not true." Master Luo shook his head,

Picking up the glass, he took another sip.

"Blackstone Town is too small to accommodate you and Situ at the same time. If you stay, even if the two can live in peace now, there will definitely be conflicts in the future."

"If the two of us really fight, who will you help?"

Master Luo glanced at Qi Yuan, coughed dryly and said:

"I'm an old man, how could I get involved in this kind of thing? It's the same for any of you to be the leader. You have to serve me with good wine and meat."

Qi Yuan thought about it, and it seemed that he was right. The old guy has his own skills, and he can be popular everywhere.

"Aren't you afraid that Situ will trouble you when you say this?"

"Even if he is here, I would say the same thing." Master Luo snorted lightly, with a somewhat arrogant expression.

Although the first-order evocation does not have any combat power, the armor-piercing projectiles that can be made can directly increase the combat power and attractiveness of the entire gathering point. Many wilderness hunters have been staying in Blackstone Town, the purpose is to exchange for a few from him. HEAT.

In the dangerous wilderness, armor-piercing ammunition is not only a sharp weapon for hunting, but also a life-saving capital.

"Although Situ is a man of good manners, he is actually not very careful about certain things. The strength you showed yesterday not only frightened Wei Tao, but also shocked Situ. Now he will definitely be worried that you secretly give He comes for a shot."

"Blackstone Town can no longer stand the toss. If you two come again, the Black Steel Shelter may have to intervene."

Qi Yuan frowned slightly.

"Will the Blacksteel Shelter intervene in the affairs of Blackstone Town?"

The Shelter and Blackstone Town are not of the same magnitude. Even the smallest Shelter can easily crush Blackstone Town, and there is no room for resistance.

It is only because Blackstone Town is located at the junction of the Blacksteel Shelter and the Quicksand Shelter, and the shelters also have a tacit agreement not to intervene in the affairs of ordinary gathering places, so there are so many large and small gathering places in the wilderness .

Even if it was Xu Kui's idea to attack Heishi Town, Quicksand Shelter did not support a lot of power behind it, not even providing him with mechanical weapons, because once Quicksand Shelter was invaded by force, it would also give Black Steel Shelter a reason to intervene .

"Under normal circumstances, they won't intervene." Master Luo squinted his eyes and said, "But if it involves the existence and destruction of Blackstone Town, the Black Steel Shelter will definitely intervene. The two black iron mines here are still worth a bit. The Blacksteel Shelter will definitely not sit back and watch Blackstone Town fall into disrepair."

"Besides, people from the Holy Court of Doomsday appeared here the day before yesterday. After Situ reports this matter to the Black Steel Shelter, investigators will definitely be sent over there to investigate. Maybe Situ will completely fall to the Black Steel Shelter."

"Hey, as long as he completely falls to the Black Steel Shelter, he may be able to get a third-order evolution potion. If there is another mechanic from the Black Steel Shelter to repair the broken things he has collected, Situ's strength will expand rapidly! "

"So, it seems that I have no chance?" Qi Yuan touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

"Would you like Blackstone Town?" Master Luo rolled his eyes, then took out a piece of parchment from his pocket and threw it on the table.

"Eleven took two of your robotic arms, and I won't take advantage of you. You should use this thing."

Qi Yuan's eyes moved slightly, and he moved the food box away. The folded parchment was spread out on the table, and a hand-painted map was clearly displayed in front of him.

Large areas on the map will be gray. Blackstone Town is marked in the center of the map, and there are Crescent Town and several gathering points not far away. These gathering towns are like stars scattered in the center of the map. Gray areas appear less monotonous.

On the edge of the gray, Qi Yuan saw the markings of the Black Steel Shelter and the Quicksand Shelter, and farther away was a piece of blue, with danger written in dark handwriting.

"I have a general understanding of the gathering points marked above. Where do you want to go, I can give you a reference." Master Luo said.

After observing carefully for a while, Qi Yuan suddenly asked, "Why is the map divided into two colors, gray and blue?"

"Gray belongs to the safe area." Master Luo took another sip and sighed softly.

"Although the wilderness outside seems to be full of dangers, the gray area is actually a safe area that the shelter regularly cleans. There are no overly powerful insects, no nests where insects gather, and no polluted places where polluters gather. hole."

"If the sanctuary hadn't cleaned up most of the worms and polluters, a gathering place of power like Blackstone Town would not have been able to be established at all. A few third-order worms at random might be destroyed."

"Those blue areas belong to the dangerous area that has been initially explored but not cleaned. There are a large number of powerful monsters there. The shelter will continue to send out cleaning teams to clear the surrounding areas bit by bit. Wait until the blue area is cleared." After all the powerful monsters in the blue area are killed, the blue area will turn into a gray area."

Qi Yuan stared at the blue on the edge of the map, his brows furrowed into the word Chuan.

It's not too far from the blue area, and the second check-in area hasn't been refreshed yet. If it refreshes to the blue area, then the next check-in will become a gamble again.

Master Luo noticed where Qi Yuan's gaze was locked, and said nervously:

"Although you can kill the second-order transcendent now, the blue area is still too dangerous for you. Don't go in and die! Even if the third-level extraordinary step into the blue area, they need to go with them, and they can't go deep. A powerful transcendent has the possibility of falling in the blue area!"

Qi Yuan retracted his gaze silently, and glanced back and forth between the Black Steel Shelter and the Quicksand Shelter.

"How is the strength of these two shelters?"

"I don't know." Master Luo spread his hands, "If one day you step into the third level, you can go in and take a look yourself to know."

"Only the third level can enter the shelter?" Qi Yuan was a little surprised.

"That's not true." Master Luo shook his head.

"There are also many ordinary people in the shelter, but they are all clean human beings who have not accumulated any pollution. For people outside, the shelter is a paradise. There is endless food and clean water inside, and they only need to pay a little. You can get enough food for your labor.”

"Many hunters are lining up to enter the sanctuary, but unfortunately the sanctuary is not open to the public. Although the sanctuary will absorb some wilderness hunters from nearby gathering places every year, the threshold is very high, and the third level is only the most basic of them. entry requirements."

Qi Yuan was silent. In the new era where great power belongs to oneself, the class gap between human beings is even bigger and difficult to bridge. Only a very small number of people at the top of the pyramid can stand on the top.

Just a third-level entry condition rejected most wild hunters from the door of the shelter.

Since the shelter regularly absorbs people from the wilderness, it is not difficult to understand that a completely closed shelter will inevitably lead to inbreeding, and genetic defects will have a greater impact in the new era than in the old era, so the shelter It will absorb the entry of wilderness people, so as to reduce the probability of genetic defects.

"How are clean humans better than wild humans?" Qi Yuan asked suddenly.

Master Luo was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, his eyes were empty, and he seemed to be trapped in memories. After a long time, he said slowly:

"I don't know where they are strong. Some people say that this is to ensure that the human race will not be extinct. In the eyes of many people, only humans who have not suffered any pollution are real humans. The wilderness wanderers with the power of pollution are almost the same as the polluters in their eyes, but the degree of pollution is different."

"There are also people who believe that clean human beings are more likely to awaken and match the extraordinary abilities of human beings, unlocking the powerful power hidden in human genes, and—"

Master Luo paused for a moment, and then continued after a few seconds: "I heard that the extraordinary ability awakened by pure humans can be inherited stably. Some people want to use this method to give birth to powerful new humans!"

Qi Yuan's pupils shrunk. Compared with humans, the most powerful thing about worms is the stable inheritance of extraordinary abilities. If it weren't for the emergence of various evolutionary potions and mechanical weapons, it would be impossible for humans to resist the invasion of worms. If pure Humans can also inherit extraordinary abilities as stable as worms and beasts, which means that the gap between pure humans and wilderness refugees will become wider and wider, even greater than the gap between worms and humans!

There will always be a day when human beings will be completely split into two different races!

If the emergence of high-level superhumans is raising the upper limit of human power, then the new human beings who have stably inherited superhuman abilities are constantly raising the lower limit of their power.

If this rumor of Luo Lao is true, then the complete division of mankind will come at any time.

"Let's not talk about that." Master Luo drank the last drop of wine in one gulp, a drunken blush appeared on his pale face.

"Where are you going after you leave Blackstone Town?"

I don't know either... I will go wherever the check-in point is swiped... Qi Yuan said silently in his heart.

"Is there any place to recommend?" Qi Yuan asked.

Master Luo knows more than he imagined. The reason why he took out this map should have already thought about this problem in his heart.

belch!

Master Luo hiccupped, glanced at the map with drunken eyes, and clicked on the sign of the Quicksand Shelter with his finger.

"Try not to go to the site of the Quicksand Shelter. Although the Xu family has fallen, they have worked in the Quicksand Shelter for many years, and they must have left behind a lot of dark hands. There must be many resistance forces loyal to the Xu family. You killed Xu Xiaoshuang , those people will definitely avenge you!"

"No one else should know about this!" Qi Yuan frowned slightly.

When Xu Xiaoshuang was killed, only Luo Shiyi was present as a witness, and Xu Xiaoshuang's body was not collected. The body might have been eaten by insects and beasts.

Master Luo tapped lightly on the map with his fingers, revealing a piece of information.

"The core strength of the Xu family is clean new humans! And they have several stable bloodline abilities, one of which is called bloodline revenge!"
