Supplies are too important to him. Han Xiao sighed, ordered one hundred and fifty bullets, and was about to pay.
The bearded man shook his finger and raised the price, "One hundred and eighty bullets."
Han Xiao's eyes were angry, you uncle's profiteer, you are raising the price from the ground. There is no need to give birth to a baby!
When the bearded man saw this, he exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Oh, what a scary look. Do you still want to kill me? Everyone, come and take a look. Someone here wants to kill someone!"
As soon as he said this, dozens of wanderers gathered around him, and some even picked up weapons such as crowbars and iron bars, staring eagerly.
"This is our territory, do you dare to cause trouble?"
"Sure, you are awesome, one hundred and eighty pills, for this price, I will kill you." Han Xiao was so angry that his teeth itched, and he didn't want to cause more trouble. He squeezed out the words through his teeth and threw the bullet to the ground.
The bearded man smiled proudly and asked people to pick up everything and hand it over to Han Xiao.
After confirming that the map and supplies were correct, Han Xiao gave the bearded man a middle finger and turned around to leave without wanting to stay any longer.
At this time, the bearded businessman spoke again, "Hey, do you want to walk out of this forest on your legs?"
"What, you have a problem?" Han Xiao stopped Footsteps, bad airway.
"I have an old pickup truck, do you want it?" The bearded man said calmly, as if the unpleasantness just now had never happened,
"I can't afford your price. ." Han Xiao stabbed him.
"You can afford it." Big Beard pointed at Han Xiao's backpack, "You have so many bullets, you must have brought a lot of guns, use those guns to pay."
High-quality firearms are very sought after by rogues, who generally rely on hunting to maintain their food sources. One more good gun means one more hunter.
The equipment in Han Xiao’s bag is all the equipment of the Night Owl Team. It is of very good quality, and there are also popular items such as sniper rifles and body armor. It is more than enough to exchange for an old pickup truck, but he shook his head and refused the bearded man. proposal.
The traces left by driving in the forest are too conspicuous. It is basically equivalent to pointing at the pursuer's nose and saying that this is the road he saw without me. If you don't want to race with the helicopter, it is better to walk.
And he has another consideration. These firearms are all budding standard weapons. Once a budding team comes to this settlement and discovers the organization's standard weapons, the settlement will be annihilated. Selling these guns is tantamount to indirect killing, and it will leave clues of your passage, making it impossible to escape the pursuers.
Although Han Xiao had just been ripped off by a businessman, he was not so mad.
The bearded man still refused to give up and wanted to make a few sales pitches, when a bell-like voice suddenly sounded next to him.
"Kylo, you are an outsider again!"
A burly man wearing an animal skin hunting suit strode over, and the crowds of people separated automatically as he passed, obviously in this settlement The land is very prestigious.
bearded kylo faceHe looked bitter and said, "Hu Hongjun, I finally made a deal, please don't meddle in my own business!"
Hu Hongjun snatched the bullet from the bearded man, handed it to Han Xiao, and said proudly: "What you asked for is not even worth a few dollars, so I gave it to you. Here, here are your bullets."
Han Xiao was stunned and looked at Hu Hongjun carefully. This man is of yellow race and has a good figure. He was majestic, with slightly white temples, sharp eyes, and a lot of pride in his conversation. His righteous behavior in returning the bullets immediately made Han Xiao feel good about him.
"Hey, what should I do?" Kailo shouted.
Hu Hongjun didn't even look back, "Isn't it just a little food? I'll give it back to you tomorrow."
Kailo was so angry that he finally started to rip off customers. You did it to me. Fair exchange, do you know what business is?
Hu Hongjun was very hospitable and said: "I am a guest from afar. You look haggard. You must not be used to life in the forest. So, stay at my house for one night and hit the road tomorrow."
Han Xiao hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement. He really wanted to take a good rest, and the first impression Hu Hongjun gave him was that of a straightforward and bold man, not like a bad person. Of course, even if the other party has bad intentions, Han Xiao will not give up.
The two of them left together, and the onlookers dispersed. Only the bearded Kailo was left, beating his feet and chest, daring to be angry but afraid to speak. There was nothing he could do. Hu Hongjun was one of the hunters in the settlement. , everyone relies on him to hunt and bring back food, and he is generous and popular, so he dare not offend.
......
Hu Hongjun took Han Xiao back to his tent. As soon as he opened the curtain and entered the door, he shouted: "An, I have guests, please cook more food today."
"I know." A woman replied.
Han Xiao walked into the tent and saw the woman named An, who was ordinary-looking and wearing a simple sarong. 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 and smiled in the direction of Han Xiao. He fumbled for pots, pans, dried meat and wild vegetables, and put them on the simple stone kiln stove in the center of the tent for cooking. stand up.
Since the other party was so enthusiastic, Han Xiao was not restrained, sat on the floor and started chatting with Hu Hongjun.
After a conversation, Han Xiao confirmed that Hu Hongjun had no other intentions and was simply hospitable. He couldn't help but let go of his guard a little.
“I noticed just now that most of the people in this settlement are white people. How can you get together with them?” Han Xiao asked.
The intelligent species of Aquamarine is human beings. There are four races in total, black, white, yellow, and Sanu, all of which are products of natural selection. Darwin said that natural selection means that the more dangerous the environment, the stronger the life. The Shanu people are physically stronger than black people.
"There is no special reason. There was a war at the time, and I happened to meet this group of wanderers. At that time, An was sick and needed care, so he stayed. Although our country and race are different, we all share the sameThey are remnants of the old era and people who have subjugated their country. We are no different than you and I. We just feel sympathy for each other and hold together for warmth. "Hu Hongjun's tone was sighing.
There were originally hundreds of countries on Planet Aquamarine. After coming into contact with interstellar forces, he realized that the existence of so many countries on one planet was a complete waste of limited planetary resources. Without unification, there would be no end. If the internal friction continues, when the planet's resources are exhausted, civilization will be trapped and die on the planet, losing the opportunity to enter the universe.
As a result, with the help of caring people, the social environment has emerged in the past few decades. Dramatic changes, wars, negotiations, economic pressure, through peaceful or non-peaceful means, the tide was washed away, and finally it was reduced to only the six countries.
Some of those who lost their motherland chose to join the six countries, and some chose to join the Germination. , the remaining people are wanderers
The world of Aquamarine is in the throes of transitioning from the old era to the new era. The people whose countries have been annexed, destroyed, and disintegrated are immersed in grief and disillusionment. , everyone hopes that their country can survive, but when the wheel of history feels that it has stopped long enough and needs to move forward, some seemingly indispensable things can only accept the fate of being abandoned by the times and become left in the history books. In a few words, let me give some simple examples, such as the layoff wave in the early 1990s, when countless iron rice bowls were shattered, and the 5,000-year history of China. It was not until the Republic of China that the dynasty system that lasted for thousands of years was destroyed. Before that, The existence of the emperor is something that everyone takes for granted. Another example is the dark religion of the Western Middle Ages.
The progress of civilization is like a surging river, which is unstoppable. Everyone, everything, and even countries are just a coercion. The sand in the river drifts with the tide.
People with limited individual power can only vent their sorrow on the Internet or in parades, or they can be immersed in the past national honors and be depressed. Those who are more radical will refuse. Accept the invitation of citizens of the six countries to become wanderers in the wilderness and live together in the wild. Wanderers account for 30% of the population of the entire planet.
And some warriors who have devoted their blood and sweat to their country use more extreme methods. Actions against the Six Nations, the Germinal Organization is a behemoth born in this social environment. The idea is to overthrow the Six Nations and share the same enemy. It is the undisputed leader of the underground world.
It is easy to maintain success, and reform is always accompanied by pain, even in the universe. There are still die-hards who are unwilling to accept general knowledge. Compared with private interests and social progress, there will always be some people who choose the former. After I die, I will not care about the flood, and these people usually act as "resistance" on the road of evolution. After all, selfishness can bring practical benefits, while righteousness is just an illusory belief. Selfless people are rare animals, otherwise "selflessness" would not be called a virtue, otherwise there would be no need to hold the annual "Moving China" selection. Isn't it just to tell everyone: "Look, there are still good people in the world. You should learn from it and save the organization some worries." ”
Hu Hongjun said: “Since the Battle of Andea, 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. In fact, PassWhat's wrong with the life we lived in the past? It was peaceful and stable, but a war started because of the so-called internal friction theory. The consequences are probably more serious than the internal friction. Besides, even if it happens, it will only happen hundreds of years later, and the problems in the future will be thrown away. It's none of our business to leave it to future generations. ”
Han Xiao sighed.
