“Praise, praise, praise”
The uniform footsteps created a low and rhythmic vibration on the black sermon.
A team of ten people, wearing wasteland style vests and military pants, each carrying a standard ray gun on their back. Due to hygiene reasons, they all had shaved heads and looked very fierce.
If we don’t talk about where these people came from, just look at what they look like now.
Everyone would think that they were a well-trained army, but in fact, a few months ago, these guys were just a group of gangsters from another world.
They were led by Ruyifang to attack Fengshan, but were defeated and thrown into the mines to work. They were then sent to the base in the wasteland world in batches.
The Black Hand Society plans to launch a counterattack against the Eternal Life Society, and Rogge needs a lot of warriors.
If you look closely, many of these guys have mechanical prostheses. Above their left ears, at their temples, there are also silver iron plates that are standard for wastelanders, and there is a flickering green light.
That's the light that comes on when the slave chip is operating.
Different from the blue light of ordinary chips.
"Not bad. It hasn't been long since these scumbags have shown they can fight. At least they are intimidating."
On the command tower of the base, Jiang Xia, wearing the same vest, stood by the large floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the wasteland warriors patrolling the base.
His left arm was empty, and there was a cigarette in his right hand. On the metal bed next to him, there were some blood stains and an opened bottle of therapeutic fluid.
There is also a tool box that has not been put away, as an operation had just been performed here.
Jiang Xia's brain chip and left eye prosthesis were destroyed in the previous thunder tribulation, and have just been replaced with new ones.
Rogge, the surgeon who performed the operation, was standing behind Jiang Xia, fine-tuning the new left arm prosthesis. When he heard Jiang Xia's words, he said without even looking up:
“It’s just that they look intimidating on the surface. They are all new recruits and it’s hard for them to form combat effectiveness right away. After a while, I plan to take them to the edge of the desert and raid a few strongholds of the Eternal Life Society.
It would be best if we could find a 'knowledge infusion machine' so that we can load all the combat experience of the Black Hand warriors into their chips."
"What is that? It sounds powerful."
Jiang Xia looked back at Rogge and asked, and Rogge shrugged and said:
“Don’t ask, it’s not a good thing.
If you are really interested, you can go ask Jasmine. She used to be an apprentice of the Eternal Life Society, and her mechanical knowledge should also have been infused into the chip.
The people in the Eternal Life Society don’t have the time to teach children and impart knowledge to them.”
"Is it the kind of magical machine that can turn a poor student into a doctor?"
Jiang Xia thought for a moment and said:
"Use brain plug-in to copy knowledge data directly into the chip and brain?"
"right."
Rogge took off the screwdriver, and finally confirmed the status of the prosthesis, then stood up and said to Jiang Xia:
“That thing works just like you said, but it doesn’t require brain plugging.
The Eternal Life Society only uses it to train low-level mechanics, and a person's knowledge infusion cannot exceed three times. Can you guess why?"
“Will it damage the brain?”
Jiang Xia stood where he was, allowing Rogge to attach Zan's new left arm prosthesis to his shoulder.
With the intervention of the prosthesis, various programs in the chip were activated, and the five fingers of his left arm moved flexibly without any delay. In response to his statement, Rogge pointed to his head.
The black fox of the wasteland said with a playful expression:
“It’s scarier than that.
A large amount of unlearned knowledge flooding into the mind will overwhelm the average person's brain. If the brain is not fully developed, it will even directly deprive you of the ability to think freely.
Turn you into a knowledgeable fool who cannot think.
However, in the wasteland, free thinking is a luxury. Everyone here has a normal brain, but few people use it to do something serious.
That's it.
Let’s not talk about this anymore.
According to your request, the new prosthesis retains the discharge module, removes the capacitor, adds several bioelectric enhancement modules, and replaces the weapon system.
Give it a try. ”
"Shua"
Jiang Xia waved his left arm, and a silver light flashed. The first thing that popped out was the folding arm knife that he was very good at using. It was shaped like the forelimbs of a mantis, and it was very intimidating the moment it popped out.
Immediately afterwards, the bionic material on the forearm popped out, and four large-caliber grenade launchers jumped out from the top, bottom, left and right.
The left palm was opened, the bionic material in the palm was moved away, and a ring-shaped energy cannon appeared, which looked very much like the palm cannon of a certain iron man.
Finally, there is a pop-up magazine at the shoulder that can fire sixteen rounds of special sub-bullets.
"According to your request, we added some superconducting materials to the steel we used this time, and also made you a spare prosthesis with exactly the same functions.
These two things have used up all the special metals I have, but the energy conductivity should be greatly improved."
Roger took a step back and took a cigar. He looked at Jiang Xia and said:
"But I'm curious, without the capacitor, how do you use the discharge function?"
"I had a lucky break the other day."
Jiang Xia blinked at Rogge, and with a thought, he activated the power to control lightning that he had gained during the tribulation. An arc of blue electricity with a hint of purple began to jump between his five metal fingers.
He said:
“Now I myself am a walking capacitor.
At present, the power is still low, but the power of this thing can be improved through practice. Perhaps after a while, its discharge power will be no worse than that of a high-energy capacitor.
So the next time I upgrade it, I will replace the energy system of this prosthesis and equip it with more weapons."
“This is really unscientific.”
Roger came over and carefully looked at the arc of electricity dancing on Jiang Xia's fingertips. He said:
"It looks like the effect of the electric eel gene enhancement. I really want to cut you open and study you."
"Do you want it too?"
Lao Jiang blew out a smoke ring and said with a smile:
"Let me think about it. According to my time, it will be about half a month before you and your warriors return to my place.
The monks from the Qintian Academy are coming to modify your memories. This matter has been reported and cannot be delayed. Also, I will send Su, Jasmine and the others back during this period of time.
You install brain plugs in them, copy their memory data about the star array and me, and make some modifications.
I heard that those monks have the spell of searching souls. We must not expose our secrets, so we must make some preparations."
"Pretending to be a brain plug?"
Roger frowned and said:
"That kind of delicate surgery can be performed at this base, but it takes a long time and requires training."
"It doesn't matter."
Jiang Xia waved his hand and said:
"The time flow rate is 1:5. One month on my side is equivalent to five months on your side. You have enough time to perform surgery on them. Also, if you need help when attacking the Eternal Life Society, tell me in advance."
"I won't use yours."
Roger shook his head, leaned against the wall of the room, and said:
“There is no spiritual energy in the wasteland world. No matter how powerful your people are, they will soon become weak when they come here. You are not here to help, but to be a burden.
Besides, you have sent me so many soldiers and so many supplies. I can recruit enough wasteland rangers. Those desperadoes don’t care who they attack.
A few bottles of clean water are enough to make them fight to their death."
Jiang Xia thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.
I hadn't realized it before, but now I'm a cultivator in the Qi training stage, and my perception of spiritual energy is more acute. Less than five hours after coming to the wasteland tonight, I already felt a sense of discomfort like a cold.
If he stayed any longer, he would become even weaker, just like what happened to Liu Hui in the wasteland.
This world is simply a nightmare for monks.
"Then I will send those warriors from Ruyifang over here in a while."
Jiang Xia put out his cigarette in the ashtray, picked up his clothes, put them on his shoulders, and said to Roger:
“Those soldiers have practiced body-hardening techniques. They are not considered cultivators, but they are physically strong and have undergone special combat training. In your words, they have undergone genetic modification.
One person can beat five without any problem, you can use them as special forces."
“This is good!”
A smile also appeared on Roger's weathered face. He gave a thumbs up and said:
"You always surprise me, Jiang."
"But you still don't want to call me boss."
Jiang Xia curled his lips and waved to Rogge as if saying goodbye.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave now. I'll bring you some good wine next time. By the way, the girl I brought just now is called Ruyue.
It's my secretary.
I don't care what method you use. I want her to grow into a qualified fighter as quickly as possible. If corporal punishment can make you more focused, you can punish her.
The premise is that she cannot be injured and no one else can hurt her.
She is my employee.
There are human rights protections.
The chip has been added to her. Please replace her left eye with the best prosthetic. Next time you come to my place, I hope to see a real female warrior of steel. "
"Hey, you're making things difficult for me."
Roger said dissatisfiedly:
"That girl is so fragile, are you sure you want to leave her in this damn place? I'm afraid she won't even survive the first battle."
"So I asked you to teach her yourself."
Jiang Xia shrugged and said without turning his head:
"If you can't even do this, why are you called Black Fox? Just change your name to Black Rat."
After saying this, his figure disappeared into the water waves. Amid the ripples in the air, he took a step forward and disappeared into Rogge's room.
Black Fox is no longer surprised by this.
He watched Jiang Xia leave, then walked to the wall and reached out to pull it.
A map of the Death Desert was pulled down, with several red Xs marked on it. Those would be the targets of the next attack by the now powerful Black Hand.
And on the outskirts of the Death Desert, across a plain from a hilly area, there is a sign of a city.
There is a skull painted on it.
“Emma.”
Roger stared at the skull. He exhaled a puff of smoke and whispered:
"Your students will come to you soon."
"Kira? That's your stupid name, isn't it? Stop hanging around in my office and go to your dorm room number seven. Julie left a lot of stuff there.
Put on her combat uniform and bring her weapons.
I'll give you ten minutes, come and see me!
What are you still standing there for!
New recruit!
Take action now!
I think your boss must be very dissatisfied with you, so he handed you over to me. That bad guy probably just wanted to see you tortured, and I.
Will be happy to satisfy your perverted boss's perverted whims.
I won't tolerate your bad habits as a rich girl!
Finally, let me remind you that tears are a luxury in the wasteland. If you want to cry, cry now. I will let you know in the next five months.
What is...
Life is worse than death! "
——
Jiang Xia did not return to the Ku Mu Realm. He came directly to the Red Moon World from the wasteland through the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree.
This function was a new discovery of his. After entering the Qi training stage, his control over the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree had become more refined, and he could travel freely between the three worlds.
However, the speed of time flow in the three worlds is different, so every time Jiang Xia transfers, he feels a strange feeling that time is stretched or shortened.
It made him quite uncomfortable.
The speed of time flow in the Red Moon World and the Bitter Wood Realm is three to one. The time here is slower than that in the wasteland.
As ripples appeared in the air like water waves, Jiang Xia appeared directly in the yard of Helford Manor, only to find that the place had changed a lot.
At this time, about twenty days had passed since he left this world, and the castle that had been destroyed by the stupid monster's magic power had been mostly demolished.
There are many temporary shacks around the manor. It seems that the baroness has hired a group of workers to help her repair the manor.
However, Jiang Xia sent out his divine sense and scanned the area, but did not find the figure of the baroness.
Old Sarn wasn't around either.
He shook his head and, without disturbing anyone, walked straight to the basement hall of the castle, where there were several small boxes filled with newly hunted ashes.
The number is considerable.
But most of them are low-grade ashes. It seems that Old Saen has not been idle during this period.
Jiang Xia smiled in the darkness, put the ashes into his ring, and took out a box of various talismans, pills, and a box of freshly made guns and ammunition that he had prepared in advance.
He left another note, saying that he had been there and picked up the goods. He also clearly marked the instructions for using the talisman paper and pills, and agreed on the time for the next meeting.
At the same time, he told Old Saen that next time he came, he would bring a new disciple to the old hunter and asked Old Saen to be prepared to train the new apprentice.
Then, Jiang Xia left the Red Moon World and returned to the Ku Mu Realm.
It's not a county town.
But it is the familiar Fengshan.
"Old Four, are you ready?"
He pushed open the door and saw the early morning sunlight. Today was a big day and he couldn't be careless. Lao Jiang asked in the communication and got an immediate response.
The fourth brother's tone was full of joy. He said:
"Boss, everything is ready. Monk Wang is drinking tea now. He has brought special instruments and is waiting for you to come and preside over the ceremony."
"very good."
Jiang Xia smiled with satisfaction and said:
"Let's hang up the Fengshan Market sign first, and let Ruyue...ah, let Julie make the concierge preparations and put the goods on the shelves. Calculating the time, the guests will be here soon."
