Chapter 1: Doppelganger Simulator
The rolling heat waves burned the gray stone ground. Among the piles of garbage and ruins, a few gray-skinned lizards nimbly moved around in the shadows. The sound of engines roared in the air, and a huge shadow slowly spread here.
The huge wind and waves spread smoke and dust all over the sky. The Titan Transport Type 3 spacecraft, a million-ton transport ship, was nicknamed a garbage truck by the scavengers.
In the huge propulsion engines on both sides, the blue flames gradually went out, and they slowly rotated, with the jets aimed at the land, and turned into hovering mode.
Buzz!
The alloy baffle under the cabin slowly opened, and countless amounts of garbage fell out of it, as if it was endless . It took a full half hour to dump all of it, and it piled up into a new garbage mountain.
In the shadow of a garbage mountain not far away, several gray-skinned lizards raised their heads, their narrow and long pupils full of greed. The new garbage mountain represented new food.
Snap!
The black leather boots fell and stepped on a gray-skinned lizard that was known for its agility. In an instant, green blood spilled out and the rest of the gray-skinned lizards disappeared in the blink of an eye.
A figure bent down, picked up a little green blood with his fingers wrapped in white cloth and smeared it on his dry lips.
He was wearing a cowboy hat, and the shadow covered half of his face. Only when he raised his head and looked at the garbage mountain in the distance could you see a pair of sharp eyes, like a vulture chasing carrion.
Boom!
A blazing purple flame spurted out, and the garbage truck left a white air wave before disappearing into the sky.
"Master, master, the garbage truck has left, it's time for us to go over..."
A one-eyed robot made an excited sound. It was less than one meter tall, with only one wheel supporting its shabby inverted triangle mechanical body, and one of its arms was missing.
This is a house being built in a garbage mountain. It is welded with discarded iron sheets and is not big, only about five or six square meters.
On the roof, a young man put down the monocular telescope in his hand. Although his shirt looked worn out, it was washed very clean and looked white.
"Giant Garbage Truck, this is a big cake, those greedy dogs will not be absent."
Li Yu jumped down steadily from the roof and threw the telescope into the garbage dump.
The garbage mountain itself is the best safe, just remember the password.
"But... Little Noisy has lost his arm for a long time, and the cleanup day is coming soon, and you also need to pay the shelter fee to leave here temporarily..." Little Noisy made a sad sound.
"How did you learn your emotional module?" Even though he had been through it for nearly ten days, Li Yu was still speechless about this robot with extremely rich emotions.
"Master, it was you who picked up my emotion module for me. Xiao Chaonao has been happy for several days because of this." Xiao Chaonao circled around Li Yu and became extremely excited again.
Li Yu ignored the crazy robot and pondered in his mind.
"Cleaning day is coming soon. All the garbage will be recycled by Optoelectronics Technology. If you want to leave here temporarily, you can only pay the shelter fee..."
"There should be a lot of good stuff in this garbage dump, and it should be worth a lot of money. However, the guys nearby are not easy to deal with. If I want to get a piece of the pie, I'm afraid I can only see if my plug-in is powerful enough..."
His heart moved slightly, and a screen appeared in front of him that only Li Yu could see.
[Host: Li Yu]
[Number of clones: 1 (being deployed)]
As a time traveler, this is the capital he relies on to survive. He can send his clones to countless worlds and get rewards based on the number of days he survives and what he does. However, his own consciousness seems unable to follow the past.
[Transformers World: Survival Time of Clone - 7 Days]
[Route selection: approach the protagonist]
[Day 1: As an illegal immigrant in New York City, you were successfully arrested and treated as a stowaway.]
[The next day: Detention life is always boring...]
[Day 3: The soap on the ground was very tempting, but you successfully kept the chrysanthemum.
【Obtained the title - Chrysanthemum Guardian. 】
Damn!
Li Yu flipped through the diary, and every time he saw the third day's log, he felt speechless and asked the heavens.
[Day 4: Your conversation doesn't sound like that of a stowaway, so a gangster noticed you and made friends with you.]
[Day 5: You chat with him and say that you are Chen Ge's subordinate and come here to expand the sales of flour.]
[Due to your bullshit behavior, you get the common talent - Random Action. ]
On the fifth day, because of his clone's ridiculous behavior, he gained an outrageous talent. Others acted according to circumstances, but for him, it was random.
[Day 6: The henchman believed you and told the boss behind the scenes. The boss was furious and thought you had the guts to steal his business, so he bailed you out.]
Yesterday, when Li Yuzheng saw this summary, he was immediately disappointed. How come this clone didn't even learn a little bit of modesty from him?
[Day 7: The gangster boss saw you and tortured you half to death. You finally revealed that you lied and there was no such person as Brother Chen. The gangster boss was furious and sealed you and the henchman in cement.]
When I found the bottom of the log, a new log had just been refreshed. It was a bit early, as the log is usually refreshed at midnight.
After a careful look, Li Yu understood that it was the clone who died... MD, in the Transformers world, Optimus Prime was not seen, Megatron was not seen, nothing was seen, and he just died like that.
How outrageous...
[The clone has died and is being collected. The survival time is 7 days... The reward is being calculated...]
[According to the comprehensive evaluation, you will get the common talent - Random Action: Your style of action is hard for enemies and friends to figure out.]
[Obtain the white title [Chrysanthemum Guardian]: You can wear the title, and the chrysanthemum will not be broken by soap. ]
[Survival Mileage Rewards... Gained a novice bonus, the rewards were temporarily increased, and a D-level magnetic ion sniper rifle - 20 bullets were obtained. The novice bonus has been consumed.]
[The clone is cooling down. It can be deployed again after 24 hours...]
Fortunately, a more powerful person came in the end, and I was lucky to have the novice bonus.
A purple gun that was as tall as a person appeared in his hand, shining with crystal light all over . The cold metal texture made Li Yu's palms warm. The gun magazine was very long and only had twenty bullets in it, not unlimited bullets.
The smart sight is capable of magnifying a hundred times, and there are four stabilizing brackets under the gun body. The bullets fired can tear apart heavy armor a thousand meters away without any recoil.
"Wow, what a cool sniper rifle!" Xiao Chaonao made an excited sound.
Li Yu weighed the heavy sniper rifle and looked at the convulsing artificial intelligence, and some ideas gradually emerged.
"Come here, Little Noisy..." Li Yu called out.
"My dear master, Little Noisy is here!" Little Noisy rolled over, waving his broken arm excitedly.
Li Yu muttered something to Xiao Nao Nao.
After hearing this, Little Chaos's one eye suddenly turned scarlet, and he was filled with murderous intent: "No problem, Little Chaos will obey the master's orders completely and is ready to kill everyone!"
…
The broken radio emitted a sporadic noise, there was a half-open pizza in the refrigerator, and the Titan motorcycle that had been almost broken in half seemed to have no choice but to be sold as scrap metal.
Along with the rattling sound of chains, four bloody hounds, half a man's height, drooling with fishy and sticky saliva, rushed out from the nearby garbage dump.
With a twitching nose, he followed the stench of decay. All four chains were held in the hands of a fat giant.
He was more than two meters tall, and the fat on his face made his eyes look as small as green beans. He was wearing worn-out flared overalls, looking out of place.
The ferocious hounds let out low roars, their eyes full of brutality. One of the stronger leading dogs suddenly stopped, turned its ferocious head like a wolf, and stared at the owner of the chains.
Snapped!
The owner of the chain shook it violently, and the chain wrapped with thorns hit the four hounds, leaving several grim wounds.
The other three dogs kept whining, but the leader dog that turned its head remained motionless. The corners of its mouth twitched and sticky saliva dripped along its sharp teeth.
"Brainless beast!" The fat man cursed angrily and reluctantly threw out a piece of rotten meat with maggots wriggling in it from a large bag hanging around his neck.
As soon as the rotten meat was taken out, it instantly attracted the attention of the four hyenas, and their tongues with meat hooks licked around their lips from time to time.
The fat man threw the rotten meat away, and the four hyenas rushed out instantly. Then, when they were about to touch the rotten meat, the chain straightened, and the strength of the four hyenas was unable to resist the fat man who was holding the chain with one hand.
Only when the lead dog reluctantly returned to the fat man and stretched out its head to show its submission did the fat man loosen the chain in his hand.
The four hyenas couldn't wait to share the carrion, with the leader getting the biggest share.
Scavenging is not a hard job. In fact, for some people with a little skill, it can even be a good job.
"White shirt, this is not your place to get involved, go back to your doghouse."
As soon as Li Yu came out from the gap in the garbage dump, he heard a sound like the friction of iron sheets.
The two Khorchin scimitars were rubbed to a shine, their blades intertwined with each other, and the dazzling sunlight was reflected from time to time.
The man leaned against a wardrobe and glanced at Li Yu casually. The tobacco turned red, and the last puff of smoke was exhaled from the mouthpiece and fell not far from Li Yu.
"Double-Blade Kul..." Li Yu narrowed his eyes. There were a few famous scavengers nearby.
Double Blade Kul is one of them. His pair of double swords are made of special alloy and are well-known among the scavengers.
It is said that he has the strength of F+ level, which is two levels higher than Li Yu's F-, and only one step away from being a non-human.
With a slight force on his back, Kul jumped up from the wardrobe. His two swords spun around his fingers and then crossed each other. His superb skills made Li Yu couldn't help but cheer in secret.
"Old Lu just died, you don't need to be in such a hurry to follow him." Kul was quite old, his beard had turned white, and he looked like a weathered rock, decayed yet solid.
Li Yu had a person who was like a father in his previous life. When Li Yu had to come here a year ago due to some things, it was Lao Lu who helped him.
Although the two had spent a short time together, Lao Lu was very kind to Li Yu because Li Yu was about the same age as Lao Lu's deceased son.
Old Lu was quite famous among the scavengers, but some time ago, he had an accident and died.
There is no such thing as friendship among the scavengers. They are all greedy dogs that will eat anyone they choose. Faced with the helpless Li Yu, many of them planned to see how much wealth Old Lu had left behind.
"Roar!"
A low roar suddenly came from the side. Kul's pupils contracted, and he immediately stepped back sideways, holding the scimitar upside down, crossing his hands, and the blade flashed. Clang! Accompanied by sparks, a huge figure jumped back.
It crawled on the ground, leaving traces with its claws and letting out a low roar from its throat.
"Dog King, keep your dogs under control!" Kul shouted angrily, and the fat man walked out of the shadows with the other three hyenas.
The Dog King...another one with a name and surname.
Li Yu's face was solemn. It was rumored that the Dog King's four hyenas were not simple hyenas. They had used expired strengthening potions. The leader dog in particular had mutated and was very powerful.
The head dog's claws alone can withstand Kul's double swords. It is also because of this that the dog king has the vague title of the number one scavenger.
The dog king was as big as a mountain of flesh, looking down at everything in front of him: "Kul, my dogs are all my friends, there is no reason for me to control my friends."
The huge greedy dog walked back and forth, glancing at Kul, who was emitting a dangerous aura, and Li Yu, who was like a sheep, naturally attracted its attention.
A chill surged into his heart, and Li Yu unconsciously bent his body slightly, and took out a dagger from his back, but it was not made of special materials and was not as good as Kul's double swords.
"Old Lu's son? It just so happens... I haven't looked for you yet..." The Dog King's mung bean-sized eyes fell on Li Yu.
The chains rattled in his hands, and the other three hyenas suppressed their violent murderous intent. He seemed to be talking to himself, or to Li Yu.
"Old Lu killed one of my puppies a year ago, so I killed one of his puppies too. That's not too much, right?"
A violent killing intent surged out of his mung bean-sized eyes, bloodshot, and he suddenly became furious, his whole body trembling: "Do you know how difficult it is for me to find a suitable puppy!"
"Roar!"
The hyena leader crawling on the ground could no longer wait and suddenly rushed out at an extremely fast speed.
Li Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he had already raised his hand, with his thumb and index finger extended and the rest of his fingers clenched, making a figure eight gesture, pointing at the greedy dog that was rushing towards him.
However, a dark shadow suddenly rushed out from the evil place and knocked the greedy dog into the garbage dump. Bottles and cans fell to the ground, and glass shards were scattered all over the ground.
The hyena shook its head and struggled to get up, seeming a little confused.
He pressed down his dark brown cowboy hat, one arm was covered with white strips of cloth, the other hand was in his trouser pocket, and the only relatively clean part of his body was his black leather shoes.
A trace of fear flashed in the dog king's eyes. He tugged at the chain in his hand and said, "Hunter, do you want to get involved?"
Under the brim of the cowboy hat, you can vaguely see a pair of sharp eyes and a greasy black beard: "Dog King, you want revenge, I want to repay the favor, Lao Lu saved my life..."
"Haha..." The dog king laughed loudly, his fat body trembling, and his finger trembling as he pointed at the hunter: "Look, there's a decent person among us. A vulture that chases carrion for a living is actually talking about repaying a favor."
A few more figures appeared nearby, all of them were scavengers with names and surnames. The giant garbage truck didn't come often because it was loaded with garbage from the rich areas, and every time it came, it would cause a bloody fight between the scavengers.
The widow covered her private parts with sparse cloth. She had a charming figure, but her face was full of pits and scars, which were said to be caused by the abuse of her husband in the rich area. Her voice was hoarse, which was caused by swallowing glass raw.
"Does this chick want a piece of the pie, too?"
The situation here has not changed for a long time. There are only a few people who share the cake of the Giant Garbage Truck, and Lao Lu was one of them.
"That depends on our good guys." The Dog King sneered and let go of the four chains in his hands.
The hunter shook his head slowly, covered his cowboy hat and stepped aside: "I just blocked your dog for him, which is considered as returning the favor."
His face was calm, without any guilt at all.
Li Yu looked at him speechlessly. Is this considered returning a favor? Is it so far-fetched?
"So, little puppy, do you have any last words?"
The dog king was extremely excited, as if he had already seen Li Yu being torn to pieces. Four hyenas surrounded him from four directions, and the chains rubbed against the ground, like the footsteps of death slowly approaching.
The scavengers around were all very indifferent, not even their eyes showed any emotion.
Li Yu clenched his hands into an "eight" shape, and then slowly raised them up. Everyone then realized that this was not an "eight" shape, but a gun shape. He used his hands as a gun.
“Haha…” The Dog King was slightly stunned, then he laughed out loud, holding his stomach, tears streaming down his face.
"You little puppy, do you want to kill me with your hands?"
Li Yu looked around, stretched out his hands, and said the first words facing this group of people.
“Bang, bang, bang, bang!”
Every time he said the word "bang", he raised his index finger. When he had said four "bangs", he blew away the non-existent smoke on his finger.
The scavengers frowned, then widened their eyes, their throats moving up and down, as if they had seen something incredible.
The four hyenas surrounding Li Yu were hit from left to right as if by an invisible train. Their entire bodies were torn apart, and they didn't even have time to wail. Dirty blood flowed all over the ground.
What’s more important is that all this happened in just a few seconds. Before anyone could react, the hyenas that had accompanied the Dog King to gain fame were reduced to pieces on the ground.
The dog king's mung bean-sized eyes suddenly widened, and all he could see were pieces of corpses on the ground. His lips trembled as he uttered a few words:
"How...how...could it be..."
The hunter pressed down the brim of his hat and retreated to the shadows without making a sound. The other scavengers did the same thing.
Sniper, they thought of this possibility at the same time. They stared at the young man in the field, but how could someone get a sniper rifle in this garbage dump?
The Dog King seemed to find it hard to believe that all his dogs were dead. His eyes were blank, until Li Yu put down his hands, he suddenly moved.
His swift movements were totally inconsistent with his body shape, so he jumped back and hid in the shadows, lurking among the garbage in an attempt to block the sniper's view.
He was just pretending to lower Li Yu's vigilance. He knew that Li Yu's index finger movement must be some kind of secret signal, so he waited for Li Yu to put his hand down.
Of course he knew that the best option was to capture and kill Li Yu directly, but he didn't dare to bet on whether the sniper pulled the trigger faster or he was faster.
"Just let me get away!"
The Dog King's huge body smashed countless pieces of garbage, and a lot of sweat poured out from his fat. His eyes were full of anger, and a plan of revenge had already begun to emerge.
Li Yu's reaction was calm and he was not surprised by the other party's sudden action, because to him, it made no difference.
Little Noisy will strictly and mercilessly kill anyone who threatens his life.
He raised his hand and pointed his index finger at the place where the Dog King disappeared.
"Do you know there is something called infrared vision?"
The index finger was raised, and silently, a bullet that was invisible to the naked eye tore through the countless garbage blocking the Dog King and shot into his body accurately and silently.
On the tallest garbage mountain nearby, a purple sniper rifle was placed on a few iron racks. Several old electric wires extended from Xiao Chaonao's body and were plugged into the interface of the sniper scope.
"I won, Wuhu!" It shook with excitement, feeling extremely happy.
A moment later, accompanied by a loud bang, even if no one saw it, everyone knew that the Dog King had fallen.
Suddenly, they felt both ridiculous and absurd. The Dog King, whom they and others regarded as a strong rival, just died like this, simply died here.
Li Yu looked around at the crowd. They looked different and were dressed differently. The only thing they had in common was that they were full of vigilance and hostility. He knew that he had become a common enemy.
But this is an inevitable result, because no one will have a good attitude towards someone who can take their life at any time.
Once he reveals the existence of the sniper rifle, he will be treated like this.
But... who cares?
Among scavengers, fists are king!
"Everyone, don't thank me. There's one less person to share the cake." Li Yu jumped out from the bloody fragments of the hyena, trying his best not to let the pair of shoes he had finally found be stained with blood.
For a moment, no one spoke. The scavengers exchanged glances frequently, but no one was willing to come out of the shadows.
Even though I know that this will not prevent sniper's secret aiming, I still can't bear to give up this little sense of security.
"Forget it, if you don't want to come out, I'll pick up the trash myself." Li Yu shrugged and walked towards the "big cake" not far away.
At first glance, he noticed the two pieces of Titan motorcycles on the mountainside. They seemed to have been in a car accident and were almost cut in half.
The Titan Motorcycle has an extremely exaggerated shape, with two huge wheels that are one meter in diameter. These two alloy wheels alone can be sold for 5,000 star coins.
If you meet a fool who doesn't remove the Zeus engine inside, it will be worth 100,000 star coins.
But it was obvious that such fools were rare. As soon as Li Yu crawled nearby, he saw a huge hole near the rear wheel hub. The engine of this Titan motorcycle had been removed.
Li Yu skillfully took out the tool kit from his back and began to disassemble it. Having followed Lao Lu for a long time, he had a general understanding of what materials were valuable.
It was not until Li Yu removed the two wheel hubs that the scavengers in the shadows carefully walked out.
The hunter lowered the brim of his hat as usual and casually glanced over several nearby high places, trying to find something.
