The Legendary Mechanic (Transcendental Mechanic)

Supplies were too important to him, Han Xiao sighed, ordered one hundred and fifty bullets, and was about to pay.

The bearded man shook his fingers, sat on the ground and raised his price, "One hundred and eighty bullets."

Han Xiao's eyes were angry, your uncle's profiteer, you are sitting on the ground and raising the price, you don't have to give birth to a child!

When the bearded man saw this, he exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Oh, what a scary look, you still want to kill me, can't you, come and see, there are people here who want to kill!"

As soon as these words came out, dozens of wanderers gathered around, some even picked up weapons such as crowbars and iron rods, eyeing them.

"This is our territory, you dare to make trouble?"

"Success, you're awesome, one hundred and eighty, at this price, you'll be begging to death." Han Xiao was so angry that he didn't want to cause more trouble, he squeezed out words between his teeth, and threw the bullet to the ground. .

The bearded smiled proudly, and people brought everything over and handed it over to Han Xiao.

Confirming that the map and supplies were correct, Han Xiao gave the beard a middle finger. He didn't want to stay for another second, so he turned around and left.

At this moment, the bearded businessman said again, "Hey, do you want to walk out of this forest on your legs?"

"What, do you have a problem?" Han Xiao stopped and said angrily.

"I have an old pickup truck, do you want it?"

"I can't pay your price." Han Xiao stabbed him.

"You can afford it." Bearded pointed to Han Xiao's backpack, "You have so many bullets, you must have brought a lot of guns, and use those guns to pay."

High-quality firearms are very sought after by rogues, who generally rely on hunting to maintain a food source, and one more good gun can make one more hunter.

Han Xiao’s bag is full of equipment from Ye Xiao’s team, which is of good quality. There are also sought-after items such as sniper rifles and body armor. It is more than enough to replace an old pickup, but he shook his head and rejected Beard’s proposal.

The traces left by driving in the forest are too conspicuous, which is basically equivalent to pointing at the nose of the pursuer and saying that this is the road you see without Lao Tzu. If you don't want to race with helicopters, it is better to walk.

And he has another layer of consideration. These firearms are all budding standard weapons. Once a budding team comes to this settlement and finds the organization's standard weapons, the settlement will be wiped out. Selling these guns is tantamount to indirect murder. And it will leave clues about its passing, and can't get rid of the chasing soldiers.

Although Han Xiao has just been slaughtered by a businessman, he is not so mad.

The bearded man was still not giving up, and wanted to sell a few words when a bell-like voice suddenly sounded beside him.

"Kylo, ​​you are cheating on outsiders again!"

A burly man in a hunting suit of animal skins strode forward, and the crowd automatically separated from where he passed, obviously very prestigious in this settlement.

Bearded Kailo looked bitter, "Hu Hongjun, I finally managed to make a deal, don't meddle in my business!"

Hu Hongjun grabbed the bullet that Bearded had and handed it to Han Xiao. He said proudly, "What you want is not worth a lot of money. I'll give it to you. Here, this is your bullet."

Han Xiao was stunned for a while, and looked at Hu Hongjun carefully. This man was of the yellow race, with a majestic figure, white temples, sharp eyes, arrogance in his conversation, and the righteous behavior of returning the bullet, which immediately made Han Xiao feel good.

"Hey, what do I do?" Kylo yelled.

Hu Hongjun didn't look back, "Isn't it just a little food, I'll give it back to you tomorrow."

Kailo was so furious that he finally opened a slaughterhouse. You gave me a cheap exchange. Do you know what a business is?

Hu Hongjun was very hospitable and said, "You are a guest from afar. Seeing how haggard you look, you are not suitable for living in the forest. In this way, stay at my house for one night and go on the road tomorrow."

Han Xiao hesitated for a moment, nodded and agreed, he really wanted to take a good rest, and Hu Hongjun gave him the first impression of a straight-hearted man, not like a bad guy. Of course, even if the other party has bad intentions, Han Xiao will not be cowardly.

The two left together, and the wanderers who were watching also dispersed. Only Kailuo, the bearded man, was beating his feet and stomping his chest. He dared not speak out. There was no way. Hu Hongjun was one of the hunters in the settlement. He brought back the food, and he was very friendly and popular, so he didn't dare to offend him.

...

Hu Hongjun took Han Xiao back to his tent, and as soon as he lifted the curtain and entered the door, he shouted, "An, I have guests, I will cook more food today."

"Got it," a woman replied.

Han Xiao walked into the tent and saw a woman called An, who looked ordinary and wore a plain cloth skirt. Han Xiao noticed that her eyes were dull and she was clearly blind.

"This is my wife." Hu Hongjun smiled.

"Hello." An heard the voice, smiled in the direction of Han Xiao, and groped for the pots and pans and dried meat and wild vegetables, and put them on the simple stone kiln stove in the center of the tent to cook.

Since the other party is so enthusiastic, Han Xiao is not cautious, sits on the ground, and chats with Hu Hongjun.

After some conversation, Han Xiao confirmed that Hu Hongjun had no other motives, just being hospitable, he couldn't help but let go of his guard.

"I noticed just now that most of the settlements are Caucasians, how can you get together with them?" Han Xiao asked.

The intelligent species of Seablue Star is human. There are four races in total, black, white, yellow, and Sanu, all of which are the products of natural selection. Darwin said that natural selection, the more dangerous the environment, the stronger the life, and the Sanu people are stronger than the black people.

"There is no special reason. At the time of the war, I happened to meet this group of wanderers. At that time, An fell ill and needed to be taken care of, so I stayed. Although the motherland and race are different, we are all remnants of the old era, those who lost their country. Disciple, what is the difference between you and me, it's just pity for each other, hugging each other for warmth." Hu Hongjun sighed.

Seablue Star originally had hundreds of countries. After coming into contact with the interstellar forces, I realized that the existence of so many countries on a planet is a waste of limited planetary resources. Disunity is an endless internal friction. If it continues, when the planetary resources are exhausted In the end, civilization will be trapped on the planet and lose the opportunity to step into the universe.

As a result, with the help of people with intentions, the social environment has undergone drastic changes in the past few decades. Wars, negotiations, and economic pressures, through peaceful or non-peaceful channels, have been swept away by waves, and finally reduced to only six countries.

Those who lost their motherland, some chose to join the Six Kingdoms, some chose to join the Germination, and the rest were wanderers.

The world of Seablue Star is in the throes of the old era and the new era. Those people whose countries were annexed, destroyed and disintegrated are immersed in grief and disillusionment. Everyone hopes that their country can survive, but when the wheel of history feels When you stop for a long time and need to move on, some things that seem indispensable can only accept the fate of being abandoned by the times and become a few words left in the history books. To give some simple examples, such as the wave of layoffs in the early 1990s , countless iron rice bowls were smashed, another example is China's five thousand years of history, until the Republic of China, the imperial system that lasted for thousands of years was destroyed. Before that, the existence of the emperor was a matter of course for everyone. dark religion.

The progress of civilization, like a surging river, cannot be stopped. Everyone, everything, and even a country are just sand and sand wrapped in the river, drifting with the current.

People with limited personal strength can only vent their grief on the Internet or in parades, or they are immersed in the national honor of the past. , rogues account for 30% of the entire planet's population.

And some warriors who used to sacrifice blood and sweat for the country used more extreme behavior to oppose the Six Kingdoms. The Germination Organization is a behemoth born in this social environment. The idea is to overthrow the Six Kingdoms, share the hatred of the enemy, and be a well-deserved leader in the underground world.

It is easy to defend, reform is always accompanied by pain, even if it is universal knowledge, there are still stubborn people who are unwilling to accept it. Compared with private interests and social progress, some people will always choose the former. These people usually play the role of "resistance" on the way of evolution. After all, selfishness can bring practical benefits, while righteousness is just an illusory belief. People who are selfless are rare animals, otherwise "selflessness" will not be called a virtue, otherwise there is no need to do the annual selection of touching China, not to tell everyone: "Look, there are still good people in the world, you are good Learning, but also let the organization save snacks."

Hu Hongjun said: "Since the Battle of Andia, history has been divided into two halves. The past few thousand years are called the old era, and now is the new era. Sometimes I think about it, what's wrong with the past life? , peace and stability, but because of the so-called internal friction theory, a war has started, and the consequences may be more serious than internal friction. Besides, even if it happens, it will only be solved in a few hundred years, and future problems will be left to future generations to solve, what does it matter to us? thing."

Han Xiao sighed.
