Chapter 2: A New World! Damn Talent!
"We need to form an alliance." Kul inserted the double swords into his lower back and suddenly lost the desire to fiddle with them. No matter how good the double swords were, they were not as good as a gun.
"What alliance?" The widow turned her face away. Kul greedily glanced at the widow's graceful figure, but when his eyes fell on her face, he shuddered and unconsciously looked away.
The widow's hoarse voice sounded like the friction of frosted glass, and her large exposed skin was covered with dust and looked dirty.
"If one person dies, the others will attack him."
Offensive and defensive alliance, this is a good choice. It is impossible for a sniper to shoot at so many people at the same time. Even if the interval is very short, it will take time.
The rest of the people were silent about this proposal. To trust these scavengers? It would be better to trust the human traffickers who brought them here in the first place!
"I want to know where he got the sniper rifle. If he has the ability to get a gun, why does he stay in this shabby place?"
Someone spoke. He was short, like a dwarf, with an abnormally large head that was disproportionate to his body. He had no hair and wore a funny dinosaur hat.
The hunter glanced at the hyena carcasses around him from under his hat: "Who cares? If we don't go now, that guy will pick up all the good stuff."
…
Li Yu was rummaging through the garbage, showing a look of disgust from time to time. He casually threw out a transparent condom and saw the approaching scavengers out of the corner of his eye.
They all had a tacit understanding and each chose an area without fighting over it, and Li Yu's area was the largest one among them.
Picking up trash is a job that is very easy to immerse yourself in. When Li Yu looked up again, the sky was already dark and the huge bag behind him was full of things.
This form of cake-dividing only lasts for one day, after which this place completely becomes a gathering place for little scavengers and is no longer an exclusive place for them.
"It should be about the same..." Li Yu finally tore off an arm from a naked "housekeeping" service robot and weighed it in his hand. The skin was very smooth and highly realistic, and the body was covered with whip marks.
One of the rays damaged the energy core, causing the robot to be scrapped. The most valuable chips and the like had already been dismantled. However, due to its special use, many people here should be coveting it, but Li Yu was not interested.
Carrying a huge bag , Li Yu walked towards the depths of the garbage dump. Behind him, on the garbage mountain, scavengers straightened their hunched bodies and looked at his departing back.
…
"Blue Mark Alloy Wheels, two, 2000 Star Coins..."
"Magnetic heating device, one, 2,500 star coins..."
"This hard drive is broken and worthless..."
The scavengers were a group of people without identity. Even if they were shot to death by the inspectors, no one would complain.
So they couldn't go to the city and could only come to the unscrupulous merchants at the garbage dump to recycle.
This is a fat man. His bloated belly has stretched the buttons of his suit tight, revealing his greasy white fat. His hair is very oily, and he wears a pair of pink slippers that are obviously too small to match his suit.
It is just such a fat man, yet he controls the entire garbage dump and enjoys all the spoils from the scavengers.
This is a lucrative job, you can make double the profit just by reselling it.
"That's too much of a price cut." Li Yu frowned as he listened to the fat man's offer.
That pair of wheels should cost at least 3,000 star coins, but Fatty San directly reduced the price to 2,000 star coins.
The third fat man chuckled, rubbed his hands, and glanced at him with his eyes narrowed into slits: "Old Lu family's kid, you are really in the spotlight today."
Li Yu looked at him calmly.
“However, you don’t seem to realize one thing…” The fat man’s expression suddenly turned fierce, and he almost roared: “Here, I have the final say. I don’t care who you have behind you. No one can replace me. You take whatever money I give you. Otherwise,...get out!”
Li Yu understood. It turned out that this guy thought he had someone's support and that his purpose was to gain his current status, so he deliberately gave him a warning.
"Third brother~" A sweet voice came from a three-story metal apartment not far away. The white gauze pajamas fluttered, and the white thighs that were almost reflective walked over, with nothing on the delicate feet.
"How come you took away someone else's slippers..." The beautiful woman with a confused and flushed look, who was a head taller than the fat man, leaned naturally on the fat man and said in a soft voice.
Several scavengers who were waiting to recycle their garbage nearby suddenly widened their eyes and looked back and forth at him.
"Hey, my sweetheart, why did you come out..." The fat man glanced at the woman and pulled her into his trap:
"They are just a bunch of scavengers. What can you do if they take advantage of you?"
Although Fatty San said this, his voice became even louder, as if he was deliberately trying to attract the attention of the other scavengers.
She glanced at the scavengers around her, watching their fiery gazes wandering over the woman's body, and suddenly she felt something in her body move.
But when his eyes fell on Li Yu, his expression changed again. He took out a stack of star coins, which were covered with oil stains and wrinkles, and placed them on the table. He said to Li Yu:
"Now are you going to leave with your garbage, or are you going to leave with the money..." The fat man pinched the beauty in his arms fiercely, and stared at Li Yu grimly: "Or, try to point your sniper rifle at my head?"
Li Yu glanced at him indifferently, without any hesitation, picked up the star coin, put it in his arms, turned around and left.
"Heh..." The fat man sneered, "Son of Lao Lu, remember what I said."
Then the fat man stuffed his head into the beautiful woman's arms and rubbed it continuously, causing a burst of laughter. The beautiful woman covered her mouth and glanced down at the fat man's greasy hair, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.
Li Yu paused abruptly, but did not look back: "My name is Li Yu."
"Bad guy!"
"Hey Hey……"
The fat man ignored him, played around with the beauty, and returned to the metal apartment in a beautiful scene.
"Master, master, how is Little Noisy doing!"
As soon as I got home, Xiao Chaonao came up to me and cheered to take credit.
"Awesome!" Li Yu gave it a thumbs up and let Xiao Chaonao circle around him several times.
"Here... this is your reward..." Li Yu took out the mechanical arm and handed it to Xiao Nao Nao.
"A new arm...my dear master, Xiao Chaonao is about to cry...I am so touched!" Xiao Chaonao exclaimed exaggeratedly, took the arm with surprise, and went to study it aside.
Li Yu smiled lightly and casually put the sniper rifle into the system's built-in space. This was considered a small benefit.
As night fell, when he just came across, the three moons of different sizes in the sky made Li Yu sure that he was no longer on Earth.
The bright moonlight makes this place not much inferior to the daytime. The craters on the largest moon are clearly visible.
"12,500 star coins, plus the 40,000 star coins left by Old Lu, are enough to cover the cost of shelter..."
"However, because the scavengers and the fat guy here are very hostile to me because of the exposure of the sniper rifle. Then..."
After thinking for a moment and saying hello to Xiao Chaonao, Li Yu went into a garbage mountain. No scavenger would really settle down, as that would be courting death.
After waking up early the next morning and arranging the little quarrel, Li Yu couldn't wait to open the system panel. He didn't have to wait too long before the panel cooled down.
[Host: Li Yu]
[Avatar: 1 (can be deployed)]
【Talent: Random Action】
[Title: Chrysanthemum Guardian]
"I hope this time, it won't be like last time." Li Yu prayed a few words and pressed the [Deliver] button.
[Searching for the world to be deployed... Analyzing data... Locating the coordinates of [Resident Evil World]... Opening the smuggling channel of the world barrier... Opened successfully... Please choose to deploy your avatar, you can bring talents and titles, which will affect the overall evaluation. ]
Li Yu looked at the talent he had obtained last time with some toothache, acting randomly... Is this a good or bad thing? After all, there is only this one talent. Li Yu gritted his teeth and loaded it.
The title must be carried with him. Even if it is a clone, Li Yu wants to protect the chrysanthemum!
[Avatar route selection... beep... Affected by talent, route selection is invalid, being deployed... Deployed successfully, host, please wait for the log to refresh (Note: The flow rate of the current deployment world is inconsistent with that of the main world, which is 1:2)]
Li Yu was stunned. He remembered that when the story was first released, there was a route to choose from. One could choose to follow the protagonist, deviate from the protagonist, or be hostile to the protagonist.
Obviously, following the protagonist can help you live longer, but why didn't I have that talent this time? Damn it!
Li Yu felt like he had made a wrong move, but his clone had already been deployed, so he could only wait for the log to refresh.
He stretched and nimbly passed through several twisted iron frames. The morning light was the most comfortable, not so scorching. He squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the red stars in the sky.
A shadow poked out from the garbage mountain above. It was backlit, and Li Yu could not see its face clearly. He wore a gray swimming goggle cap on his head, a black scarf around his neck, and a tattered gray windbreaker on his body, which covered his body tightly. The clothes had many pockets.
"I heard that you killed the Dog King yesterday, and people are saying that you have contact with people in the city..." With a nimble flip, this guy landed not far from Li Yu, holding half an apple in his mouth.
It looks quite fresh. That thing is a rare item here. I wonder where it was picked up from.
"What city information..." Li Yu shook his head: "It's just a rumor..."
The other party did not ask any further questions. He took a bite of the apple in his mouth. The apple was juicy and the sound sounded crisp.
"Thanks to you, the old scavengers were not in the mood to pick up the stuff that fell from the giant garbage truck yesterday, so it was a bargain for us."
He has very short hair and looks very energetic. His eyes are green and bright, which is extremely rare.
He casually threw the bitten apple to Li Yu. There was still more than half left, which gave off a fruity aroma. It should be a special variety with full flesh.
Li Yu's mouth twitched slightly. He took the apple and threw it back. He had no interest in it now. Who knew what was on it?
"I left it specially for you..." The other party was a little confused and raised his head. Li Yu's reflection was in the depths of his green pupils.
"No thanks..." Li Yu looked strange, and stepped back calmly. I have no interest in men, so I immediately changed the subject and asked, "I haven't seen you for a few days. What have you been doing?"
This man's name was Mo Duo. He was an acquaintance of Li Yu. They had met each other several times before when picking up trash. However, the scavengers did not keep in touch with each other, and each of them remained somewhat vigilant.
Mo Duo wiped the apple in his hand and took a big bite. The juice overflowed from his mouth. He said incoherently: "I am not as lucky as you. I turned over several garbage mountains and finally found some leaks. I can pay for the shelter."
Li Yu glanced at him subconsciously, turned over several garbage mountains, and picked up some leaks?
Do you really think these scavengers are useless? Which garbage mountain has not been visited many times? How can Moduo still find something good? It is hard to say who is lucky.
However, just like Mo Duo did not ask any further questions, Li Yu did not say anything either. He casually took out a large bottle from a garbage dump, which contained some clean water.
"I really don't understand you. You've fallen to this point, and you still need clean water to wash your face and brush your teeth." A strange light flashed in Mo Duo's green pupils.
Li Yu's predecessor clearly had a habit called mysophobia, but it was precisely because of this that Li Yu, who traveled through time, did not have too much discomfort.
"Elegance never goes out of style..." After wiping his face with a towel, Li Yu instantly felt that a layer of dirty barrier had been removed between him and the world.
Mo Duo turned over and sat on a pile of rubber tires. His legs were very long and slender. "The fat guy is very dissatisfied with you. He thinks that the people behind you want to rob him of his interests."
Li Yu frowned and glanced at him. He was also amazed at Mo Duo's body proportions.
"It's only been one night and it's already spread like wildfire?" He felt a little strange. No matter how fast it spread, it would take some time for the news to ferment.
Mo Duo was silent for a moment and said, "The fat guy did it on purpose. He wanted to force you to hand over the gun to show off his authority."
"So..." Li Yu paused and looked at Mo Duo on the tire: "You are here to pass on a message."
The contempt on Mo Duo's face flashed away, and he shook his head: "No... I just heard the news..."
"The one who really came here to deliver the message..."
"It's me..." A clear voice took over the conversation. Not far away, the hunter, holding down his cowboy hat, walked slowly towards them.
He came silently, and neither Li Yu nor Mo Duo noticed when he arrived.
Li Yu's face looked indescribably strange, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak. Mo Duo jumped down , retreated to Li Yu's side, bent his body slightly, and became alert.
The hunter held down the brim of his hat and walked with a magical pace, avoiding all the garbage on the ground without making any sound.
This is the origin of his name, the hunter in the jungle, who knows where he will come out from to reap his prey.
Like Kul, he is also at F+ level, which makes him considered a good fighter among this group of scavengers.
"You..." Li Yu pursed his lips and finally said, "Are you pressing down the brim of your hat because you don't want people to see you staring at the garbage on the ground?"
The hunter's footsteps suddenly stopped. Moduo's heart tightened, but he inexplicably wanted to laugh. When he thought that the hunter's eyes might be rolling around under the brim of his hat, he felt both ridiculous and sad.
As the depression and tension brought by the hunter suddenly dissipated, he felt a lot more relaxed.
