Chapter 1392 An accident happened, arriving at Hu Lai City!
Before the medical system in the wasteland was restored, the alchemists who had been prevalent for a period of time in the Middle Ages quietly revived and returned to the world.
They shuttled among the ruins, used the plants they could find in the local area to create many novel gadgets, and rediscovered the natural remedies that had been forgotten by modern technology.
From common weeds to rare forest flowers, through repeated trials and attempts, alchemists have devised a series of novel and effective medicines and treatments. Some can relieve the pain caused by various diseases, while others can enhance The human body's ability to adapt to harsh environments, and what's more, it is said to be able to temporarily improve a person's physical fitness and perception, giving people an extra chance of survival in the wasteland.
The person Somo is looking for right now, Daoud Meyer, who is known as the 'Little Shennong' in the future ruins, is one of the best alchemists.
It was his existence that allowed the survivors to gradually change their ideas and correctly realize the value of various native plants in the wasteland.
Sumo still clearly remembers that Wan Jingnian lamented more than once that the "Wasteland Prescriptions" written by him and the Wanyu Teahouse selling herbal tea were largely influenced by Daoud Meyer.
If this man hadn't died early in the third year of the wasteland, human research on wasteland plants would have been more than ten times faster.
This is already a very scary number.
You must know that there are at least more than 100,000 people who have become alchemists. The ability of one person to serve as a million people is enough to show the ability of Daoud Meyer.
However, I don’t know if it was because I ran out of luck, but the rest of the trip was a huge disappointment.
Four days later.
When the few people who had gone out to inquire about the news returned to the gathering point as the sky darkened, Lao Zhang finally found out about Daoud Meyer.
"What, dead?"
Su Mo was surprised and opened his mouth: "Where did you get the news? Could it be someone else with the same name? It seems that the phenomenon of double names is quite serious among Westerners."
"It shouldn't be because of the same name. Some of the characteristics mentioned by that person are consistent with what you told me, Mr. Ji. And he promised to take me to find Daoud Meyer's grave early tomorrow morning. , we will know if it is dead and dug up."
"Isn't he alone? Someone helped bury him after he died?" Luo You was shocked at the side.
During the tense period some time ago, survivors with family members who died did not receive such luxurious treatment.
At most, they can just find a roadside burial to prevent the body from being exposed in the wilderness.
As for finding the exact place where it was buried, don't even think about it. I'm afraid the person who buried it won't be able to remember it.
"He is indeed a person, but I didn't expect that this guy can do it alone. He is famous for being brave and fierce. It was obviously something that others discovered first, but he insisted on snatching it away. In the end, I didn't expect to kill him. The man was cornered and he accidentally beat him to death."
Lao Zhang was speechless and said: "It's a shame that we still wasted four or five days in this territory. You said it's weird for this kind of people to live for two years in the wasteland. I really don't know what the environment is like now. How dare you be so lawless and harmonious?" People are fighting for it, but if it were switched to our Hoshino Alliance, it would probably be sunk that night."
"So, the person who beat him to death gave him a tomb?"
Sumo sighed. In fact, he had a vague premonition when he didn't find anyone the next day.
It's just that he found that the three people of the Luo family gave him a taste of the benefits, so he persisted and has not left until now.
Daoud Meyer is indeed not a fuel-efficient person.
In the various biographies of Future Relics, everyone agrees that his death was due to bad luck. He was accidentally injured on the battlefield between humans and aliens, and unfortunately died prematurely.
However, Sumo learned from Wan Jingnian's mouth the true situation after asking him in many ways.
At that time, there was a special plant that was rumored to be able to revive human flesh and bones, but it needed to absorb a large amount of biological blood to grow.
Daoud Meyer's purpose of sneaking into the battlefield was to find dead people to suck the blood of this plant.
I just didn't expect that the scale of the war would expand and expand, and the situation would change dramatically in the blink of an eye.
Before the greedy Daoud Meyer could escape, he was surrounded and killed by aliens in an inconspicuous corner.
Now the time has advanced a lot, and there has been no large-scale melee between humans and aliens. Sumo thought that he could bring him back to his territory before these changes happened. With enough resource support, this guy would probably not
Then go outside and commit suicide.
However, I still didn’t expect that there would never be an end to people seeking death, and Daoud Meyer’s death this time was even more outrageous than in the ruins.
I didn't even have any tricks up my sleeve, so I spent the rest of my life ahead of schedule.
However, having said that, it is difficult to say which way of death is more comfortable, between dying in fear on a chaotic battlefield and not even being able to find a corpse, or being beaten to death by mistake while fighting bravely and having a grave to live in. It is difficult to say which way to die is more comfortable.
"Yes, the man who accidentally killed Daoud Meyer was a priest. He not only laid his grave, but also helped him donate all the supplies he left behind."
"It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a step too late."
After wasting four days here and getting such a result, Sumo could only sum it up as a pity.
However, this also reminded him that the direction and reality of the future ruins had indeed undergone tremendous changes.
Among those talents who unfortunately died, some of them died in the battle between humans and aliens just like the three Luo family fathers and sons. There was nothing wrong with their own character or abilities.
But there are other people who, like Daoud Meyer, died by themselves.
These people have congenital flaws in their character, and unexpected situations will naturally occur in the changing timeline.
"It seems that the next choice will need to be changed. First, gather the people with good character to prevent accidents. After all the people are gathered, we will look for those with some flaws."
There were still 19 names on the list, and now Daoud Meyer was unexpected. Somo didn't know how many he would find in the end.
Fortunately, this trip was not without success. After staying on land for at least four days, Luo Xiang's psychological shadow seemed to have been eliminated a lot. Only occasionally did his eyes flash when the two of them met alone.
A trace of resentment.
Soon, the group of people hurried back to the guerrilla boat, having rested enough after four days of procrastination.
Everything was packed, and there was no need to organize anything else. After Somo decided on the location, the ship sailed under the cover of night.
At the same time, the fleet on the other side rushing to the enterprise Hu Lai City finally arrived at the edge of Hu Lai City after nearly a week's voyage.
The northern zone of the southern fire domain.
Compared with the dotted island terrain to the west, the vast and endless wilderness plains to the east, the endless green rainforest landforms to the south, the north direction shows more of the majestic beauty of undulating canyons and mountains.
.
It is somewhat similar to the Poisonous Insect Valley and the Heartless Valley that often appear in TV dramas. After being covered with primitive forest landforms, the entire area is full of mystery and unknown. The roads between the various canyons have also become extremely rugged due to the complex and changeable terrain.
It is difficult to walk, as if it is an obstacle specially set up by nature, testing the courage and determination of every creature trying to step into this forbidden land.
But in the wasteland, this is an advantage to a certain extent.
At the very least, even if the aliens start a war in a short period of time, they will not set their sights on this area.
The company's Hu Lai City was also placed in the north direction, located in a huge canyon.
The east and west sides of the canyon are covered by dense virgin forests, with towering trees and lush branches, providing a natural green barrier for the hidden Hu Lai City, making the interior more private and quiet.
From the north to the south, there is a tributary of the Giant Dragon Fairy River passing through the canyon. Due to the difference in terrain, the river is rushing endlessly, and a deafening roar can be heard several kilometers away.
Fortunately, the company still retains its infrastructure capabilities, and after building the dam, there is no need to worry that the tributaries will burst and hit the city.
The entire river passes by the edge of Hu Lai City and flows straight forward into the main trunk of Julongxian River.
With the city of Hu Lai as the center and along the upper and lower banks of the river, the survivors who came here took root here.
Under the cover of darkness, the huge frigate quietly sailed into the tributary, and finally anchored in a deep valley with few human traces.
If there were not hundreds of thousands of survivors lingering around Hu Lai City, and there was a desire to trade with the expedition team, there would be no problem even if the frigate drove straight past.
But now there are too many survivors, and with the Mine Island Alliance as an example, it is still not appropriate to show off.
Not long after, two sampans were pushed out from the stern cargo hold and plunged into the water.
"You just stay on the ship and wait for news. If someone finds out, don't take action directly. It is best to persuade him to leave and move to another place so as not to attract the attention of the company."
Feng Long explained a lot, and finally chose to bring his own Longming team as a safety guarantee, while the rest stayed on the ship to guard and respond.
This is the most correct choice for the moment. No matter how much trouble a person gets into, he won't be able to run away.
"It's a pity that the guy with the nuclear rifle was sent to the giant tree root territory, otherwise he would have been so excited that he would have died." Ming Wujing, the observer who was packing his equipment, said with a smile.
The assaulter Si Chunyi on the side also smiled: "That's okay, let's go and take some photos, print them out and show him the same effect."
After saying that, the two of them simultaneously looked at the sniper in the team, the ‘God of Death’ Bai Shougen.
The latter's eyes flickered slightly, and although he said nothing, it was clear that he was already thinking about various strategies in his mind and was ready to make a move.
At this time, Feng Long walked in, and at a glance he knew what the three of them were thinking.
He coughed lightly and said, "Okay, let's set off as soon as we're ready. It's hard to rush during the day when there are so many people around."
Counting his team, there are four people in total, and on the other side are Su Chan, Xi Ruyue, and Chu Chaofei. Seven people and two sampans are completely enough.
Following the slightly turbulent tributary, the two sampans untied their fixed ropes. The guards who stayed on the deck watched and waited until the ships disappeared from sight before going back to rest.
There are detailed maps left by the expedition team, and the terrain of each canyon is extremely clearly marked.
From here, it is less than a hundred kilometers away to reach the outer gathering place of the survivors.
A few dozen kilometers further ahead is where Hu Lai City is located.
Ming Wujing and Si Chunyi were in charge of rowing the boat, while everyone else lay in the cabin and closed their eyes.
However, looking at Su Chan sleeping peacefully next to her, Xi Ruyue was lying in the cabin tossing and turning. It was pitch dark and she couldn't see her surroundings. Listening to the sound of water flow, she could not help but have random thoughts.
Corporate Hulay City is no secret in World Channel.
In other words, as time goes by, these blue star cities that have descended on the wasteland are no secret.
In the process of being gradually discovered, someone will inevitably mention it on the World Channel, and then the scale of discussion will be formed.
Even if the survivors ignore these sporadic topics because they are busy, they can still hear about it from those who like to surf channels.
As one of the Blue Star cities discovered by humans in the wasteland, Hu Lai City is one of the largest in scale.
In addition, the company is one of the three major forces of Blue Star. Logically speaking, it should be sought after by the survivors, and at least more than a million people will gather to try their luck.
But now there are only hundreds of thousands to less than 200,000 people in the surrounding area, and it has not been able to attract many new survivors. This is already a good explanation of the problem.
Although location disadvantages exist, the main reason lies in the attitude of enterprises in contacting survivors.
What does it mean to be early without profit?
The company vividly illustrates this point. Ordinary survivors, not to mention wanting protection from the company, are not even qualified to get close to them.
It's helpless to think about it. If a large-scale disaster really happened, the company would probably watch the survivors on the periphery die.
However, the purpose of everyone staying here is very clear, just to try their luck and chance.
Xi Ruyue tossed and turned and thought about the purpose of Sumo sending them here. Is it just to visit Hu Lai City?
It's unlikely that Hu Lai City wouldn't need to let Su Chan, a biological sister, come over.
There must be interests here that Sumo could appreciate, so he asked them to come here first to gather information.
Chu Chaofei on the other side was also thinking wildly, feeling a little anxious when he heard Feng Long's snoring in his ears.
Unlike Xi Ruyue who was valued by Sumo, he was completely a dispensable sidekick.
It is enough to observe Soma's attitude at this point.
When facing Xi Ruyue, Sumo always spoke in a teaching tone, but gave straightforward instructions to him.
On the surface, this is a sign that Xi Ruyue is not doing well enough and is not reassuring enough.
But in fact, Sumo treats Xi Ruyue more like a grooming person, and the chance of being replaced becomes smaller in the future.
In Chu Chaofei's view, any other person could do the things he was told to do, and they would not necessarily be worse than him.
This corporate trip is a rare opportunity.
You must show irreplaceability or potential throughout the entire process, so that you can be valued by Somo in the future.
As Chu Chaofei thought this, his anxiety gradually disappeared and he fell asleep unconsciously.
And when he opened his eyes again, he could already see many sparks not far away, and there were houses built by humans on both sides of the river bank, and the land opened up existed, brewing a strong atmosphere of life.
