Fellow Daoists, Would You Like To Buy Gatling?

  Chapter 8 8. After the end

  After a short break, start again.

   But this time, Jiang Xia no longer needs to use his feet to measure this desert.

  He has a new transportation tool.

  A cool car.

  Much like an old-style tough motorcycle with an old grip, a high-performance battery pack continuously sends energy into the front and rear dual-drive motors to provide it with sufficient power.

  The design of the front and rear double-tracks makes it extremely stable to run in this desert, but there is no fuel-powered noise, which makes Jiang Xia a little uncomfortable.

  Even in the sandstorm, this cool car is quiet and silent, with only the hissing sound peculiar to the electric current, and the restlessness of the wind and sand on the car shell.

  This is a vehicle that men like.

  Unfortunately, Jiang Xia does not have a chip and cannot connect to the locomotive operating system. He can only sit in the body of a motorcycle as a passenger.

  On the hood of the car in front of him, a heavy machine gun with a three-barrel revolver was mounted.

   is the kind he used to blow up the robot’s head.

  The appearance is very similar to the foreign trade version of a heavy machine gun that Jiang Xia once promoted around the world when he was a salesman in a special industry, but the inside obviously has also undergone the technological magic of this wasteland world.

  The rate of fire is faster, the cooling is better, it is more accurate, and it is easier to manipulate.

  What surprised Jiang Xia the most was that the bullets used in this gun were supplied in a box, yellow-orange-orange, very heavy, each with the thickness of a thumb, nearly the length of a palm.

  The front end is sharp, and there are special symbols on it.

   “What kind of enemy do you usually fight against? Only to get such a frenzied thing?”

   Jiang Xia stroked the bullet chain in the ammunition box, and said to Roger, who was driving next to him:

   “Armor-piercing depleted uranium bomb, even if it is made into bullet specifications, but with the penetrating power of this thing, it should not be used to hit people?”

  Because of driving in the dark sandstorm, Jiang Xia not only wears goggles and a headscarf, but also an old helmet made of polymer materials, so he speaks a little sullenly.

  Rogge’s dress is the same, with his fur coat wrapped tightly and his goggles on, giving him the aura of an abandoned bandit gang.

   Facing Jiang Xia’s problem, he smiled in a low voice and said:

  ”It was not used before.

  We Black Hand Association was a researcher in Free Citizen City more than a year ago. At that time, we did not need to fight.

   Later.

  There was a little ‘conflict’ between us and the Immortal Society’s research direction. After being expelled, we had to find these old antiquities left over from the nuclear war.

   is very inconvenient, but powerful, it is used as a defense and courage. “

   “Nuclear War?”

   Jiang Xia keenly caught a key word, and he asked straightforwardly:

  ”I don’t know much about the history of your world. There was a nuclear war in this world? How long ago?”

   “More than fifty years ago.”

  Rogge’s tone became a little deeper, obviously this is not a good topic.

  He stopped, then said:

   “At that time, I was not born yet. I just listened to what my grandfather said. Overnight, all parts of the world became a pot of porridge, conflicts quickly escalated into wars, and wars turned into throwing nuclear bombs at each other.

  Billions of people died in one year, and when everyone stopped, the world was gone.

   Those **** bastards! “

  He ended with a curse, which confirmed what Jiang Xia had in mind, the strange smell under the sand, the strange numbness of his wounds, and the strange smell of filtered water.

  Everything is explained.

  His face also became quite ugly, Rogge seemed to feel Jiang Xia’s mood, and in the voice of the dust peeling off, he said quietly:

   “I actually admire you, explorer, you dare to walk in the desert without radiation protective clothing, brain chip implantation, and artificial body transformation.

  Although this desert was not a battlefield for nuclear wars, and the amount of radiation here is not fatal, but your pure flesh and blood cannot survive here.

look.

  Between us, there is another reason for cooperation, which is great. “

   Jiang Xia did not speak, but hugged the pulse rifle in his arms. At this moment, only the cold weapon in his arms could bring him a little more sense of security.

   But soon, he discovered another problem.

  In the dim sand and dust, he turned his head to look at Roger, and then at the looming motorcycles behind him.

He says:

   “You said fifty years ago, you were not born yet? How old are you this year?”

“Thirty-two.”

  Rogge threw a number, he seemed to feel Jiang Xia’s weird look, and said:

“Any questions?”

   “Just your face, with shaggy beard and full of wrinkles, said that someone believed you at the age of seventies. It seems that the environment in your world is really bad.”

   Jiang Xia said:

   “You just said Liberty Citizen City, what is that place? Is it a new civilization after the war?”

“Roughly the same.”

  Rogge explained:

  ”Civilization is no longer there. Now this world is more like a loose union of tribal city-states. I was born in that city, and so is Su.

  But Liberty Citizen City is just the edge of the wasteland, close to this big desert.

  The nuclear war didn’t spread too much here, so although it was a poor country, the living environment was much better than other city-states.

  Of course, it is definitely not as good as the city of bliss. It is the jewel of the rotten sea, the only big city left in the entire wasteland, and the last place of human civilization. “

   “It’s a good name.”

   Jiang Xia Tucao generally said:

   “It’s a doomsday wasteland. Anyone who talks about freedom, citizens, etc., sounds like a hypocritical place.”

“well said!”

  Rogge was very rough and laughed and said:

  ”When my grandfather was still alive, he used to say that there is neither freedom there nor citizens living in it, but it is indeed a city.

  It’s a pity that if this continues, the city will soon be gone. “

   “Because of Eternal Life?”

   Jiang Xia asked:

   “Is that force chasing you? They sent the robot before? Why? They are also looking for the star formation?”

   “No, they are not looking for a star array.”

  Rogge shook his head and said:

   “They are looking for us.

  Black Hand Society was established by my grandfather. He was a biologist before the nuclear war, and found some inspiration in the technological explosion after the war, so he continued to study biotechnology.

  Grandfather’s greatest ideal is to allow us the only remaining humans to survive, continue, and rebuild civilization through biological transformation.

  Unfortunately, not everyone who survived a nuclear war is as civilized as my grandfather.

  The clutter of the Immortal Society wants the knowledge in our minds and the database left by our grandfather to serve their evil plans.

  I am not a good person.

  But at least I still have a bottom line, so after the bizarre death of my grandfather, we fell out. Needless to say, there were more than 100 people in the Black Hand Society.

Now

   Only us former researchers who were forced to pick up guns are left. “

   “So you want to escape to another world?”

   Jiang Xia asked:

   “You said before that all your understanding of the star array comes from another explorer. He told you the existence of other worlds, and he also guided you to find the star array in the desert.

  Where is he now? “

“I do not know either.”

  Rogge said frankly:

  ”You explorers are a group of very free people. As he said, he roams the various worlds of the stars, looking for knowledge and so on.

  When I met him, he was planning a journey across the wasteland, ending in the city of bliss.

  But that was already a year ago.

  Maybe, maybe he has left this **** world now.

  Also, we are not trying to escape. “

  The second leader of the Black Hand Society, said to Jiang Xia very seriously:

  ”We just want to use the star array to build a base in other worlds, rest and regenerate, and accumulate strength. We never want to escape, we will come back.

  The blood of those companions is flowing here, and the body of my grandfather was still thrown in the Liberty Citizen City. The blood feud between the two parties has not been sorted out yet.

  On this wasteland, you can’t pay it back, but you can’t pay it back! “

   “Ambitious! I start to like you, come on.”

   Jiang Xia stretched out her thumb and gestured to Rogge.

   The surrounding sand and dust seemed to be reduced a little, and the visibility became better. With the goggles with telescope function, he could vaguely see that there was a looming building on the edge of the sand and dust.

  There should be the destination.

   “Tell me about these robots again.”

   Jiang Xia said:

  ”Their weaknesses, their detection range, and your plan of action.”

  ”This oasis is the center of the desert. The influence of the Immortal Society has not spread here, and the nearest robot factory is more than 100 kilometers away.

  The signal towers nearby have been destroyed by us, and the transmission of information has been cut off. The Free Citizen City is just a small city-state with limited resources.

  If they want to do research, they can’t use destructive power to attack the oasis. “

  Rogge said:

   “Sending a few old, rigid hunter robots is the limit. This kind of robot has powerful firepower and heavy armor. It is the first-generation combat robot of the Immortal Society.

  But its procedures have long been outdated, and the fire control system is also very backward.

  The search program only relies on optics, infrared modules, and frequency band search and location for brainwave chips.

  It can’t load remote command modules, and it has a free range of up to 20 kilometers. It can only issue commands with a set of rigid permissions in accordance with the established command line.

  So there must be manipulators in the oasis.

  We are making a base camp in the oasis, using the resources we brought out of the city to set up a defensive fort. What you have to do is to sneak in when we attract the firepower of the hunter, kill the manipulator, and restart the fort program.

  The oasis is just that big, so this life is very simple. “

   While talking, he took out a delicate purple circuit board from the locker of the locomotive and handed it to Jiang Xia, saying:

  ”On the turret console, replace this circuit board, and I can take over the defense through the brainwave chip.”

   “The chip is so convenient.”

  Jiang Xia took the circuit board and looked at the top of Roger’s ear. There was a tiny blue indicator light, which turned on and off. Not only Roger, but the other fighters of the Black Hand Society had the same device in the same position.

  This is the standard configuration of Wastelander.

  Implanting a chip in the brain is equivalent to bringing a portable computer, which can synchronize the body’s bioelectricity through the artificial body to isolate the weak radiation.

  You can also use the chip as a channel to build communication in a small team.

  I heard Rogge said that in each city-state, there are large-scale parallel thinking systems that can build virtual reality spaces in their minds.

  The thoughts of tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, interact with each other.

   is both an individual and a whole. Based on the cruel and devastated real world, a perfect “new world” is constructed with data.

very good.

   already has the flavor of future punk.

  But not all things are good.

  It can be seen from the current embarrassment of the Black Hand Society. They have chips and constantly send out information waves. This has become a beacon for robot killers to lock them.

  The brainwave chip cannot stop functioning except for death.

  This causes these fugitives to be like fireflies in the night, and there is no way to hide themselves well.

  They need Jiang Xia, a pure outsider, to help them regain the oasis. Under this circumstance, Jiang Xia’s existence is irreplaceable, so the two sides can cooperate so smoothly.

  Hei Shou Hui, the group of people, all survived the hunt.

  The high probability is not that silly, white and sweet. Jiang Xia is basically certain that when all the dust settles, the cooperation between the two parties will probably stop abruptly.

  He was sitting in the carriage, looking at the oasis that was getting closer, his thoughts flashed.

  In this situation, it is undoubtedly foolish to pin the last hope of survival on the integrity and morals of these wasteland fighters.

  They ask for themselves.

  But without the prerequisite of mutual trust, this kind of demand is likely to be transformed into something terrible.

  There must be some preparation in advance.
