Chapter 92 The Forgotten
"boom"
With a loud bang and a sound of breaking wind, the large sandbag used as a target was hit hard. The huge force hit the sandbag and made it fly outwards.
It was like a stone being smashed into the ground.
The tough leather cracked and sand was scattered everywhere.
The power of this punch was incredible.
It even scared the guy who was throwing the punch.
In the Death Desert today, not only Jiang Xia received the gift, but another person also received a reward for his loyalty.
“A treasure!”
Liu Laosi, who was still swinging his fist, widened his eyes. The skinny guy looked at the cracked sandbag on the ground and then turned his attention to his left arm.
It was an ordinary arm, nothing unusual on the outside.
But that punch just now had already shown the change in the fourth brother.
He was like a child who got a new toy, stroking his arms with joy, his eyes full of happiness. The resentment in his heart for being forced to remove his arms and legs had long since disappeared.
"Good baby."
The fourth brother happily wiped the dust off his arms, then patted his left leg. He felt a little numb and could hardly feel the patting. The same went for his arm.
After all, they are no longer connected by flesh and blood, but are controlled by the "immortal magic weapon" in the brain.
He was not as knowledgeable as his boss and could not understand the principles and processes of mechanical manufacturing. When he first controlled the uprising, he was naturally not as skilled as others.
However, Lao Si has his own unbreakable worldview.
He attributed everything to "magic".
This is also in line with the thinking of the mortals in Ku Mu Realm. However, even in the most arrogant fantasies of the fourth brother in the first half of his life, he never thought that one day he would have the magic weapon of the immortals to use.
"It's all thanks to the boss, uh, no, the boss. I'm really lucky."
The fourth brother chuckled foolishly and thought so in his heart.
"What are you standing there for? Start debugging your left leg prosthesis."
The scolding from behind brought the fourth brother back to his senses.
He turned around and smiled at Julie who came to help, and at the order of the female warrior, he walked to the other side, jumping and moving his legs.
A new sandbag was hung up, and the cursor in front of Lao Si's left eye locked onto the target. He took a deep breath, took a step forward, raised his left leg with a kicking motion, and hit the sandbag hard.
"boom"
This time the force was even greater. The fourth brother's kick was like a knife, "chopping" into the sandbag fiercely, just like a grenade explosion. With a low sound, the sandbag burst.
The sand was blown up everywhere.
The idiot Lao Si used too much force and lost his balance. After a wail, he fell to the ground with his arms and legs spread out.
This scene caused Miss Julie, who was dressed coolly and lived a dissolute life, to burst out laughing, and also made Jiang Xia, who was watching not far away, grin with malicious intent.
This fourth brother is such a funny guy.
"It seems that it will take some time for your employee to adapt to the prosthesis perfectly."
Beside Jiang Xia, Rogge, with a face full of black and gray, was wiping his face and shaking his body. He looked like he had gone to get his hair done. His already messy hair now stood up like an afro.
This is all due to Jiang Xia's incorrect operation when testing the discharge of the prosthesis just now.
Fortunately, he only activated one capacitor. If all four capacitors were activated, Rogge would probably have considered doing the same as Su and radically replacing all four limbs with prosthetics.
"Old Four isn't a soldier. He has plenty of time to get used to the new equipment. This thing is just for self-defense. I don't expect him to charge into battle for me."
Jiang Xia put his left hand in his windbreaker pocket, turned his head and winked at Roger, saying:
"The new equipment is great. I'm very satisfied. Thank you."
"Next time, let someone else pretend for you. I can't bear your playing with my life."
Rogge snorted in dissatisfaction. He wiped his face with a handkerchief, glanced at the blazing sun and yellow sand outside the base, snapped his fingers at Jiang Xia, and said:
"Come with me, there is something else you need to take."
"The wolf?"
Jiang Xia reacted immediately. He followed Rogge to the other side and asked:
"Isn't it good to leave it here? Even though it might get out of control, with it here, you'll at least have a trump card to use if Eternal Life attacks you."
“Not out of control.”
Roger replied:
"After it woke up some time ago, it behaved very rationally. Although it still has some animal nature, it is relatively obedient. However, I'm afraid it is not feasible to ask it to fight for me.
In fact, if you don't take it away, it will probably die here."
"oh?"
Jiang Xia looked around at the cylindrical robots moving around in the base, reached out and tapped the head of a passing cleaning robot, and said jokingly:
"Sure enough, did something go wrong with the previous surgery? Your quack medical skills are too trendy, are you going to kill him?"
"No, the operation was successful."
Roger curled his lips and said:
“But the monsters in your world are too delicate, not as tough as us wastelanders.
It can't adapt to this fucked up world. It has become skinny after more than a month. No matter how much it eats, it's useless. It seems like it has some chronic disease..."
"Needless to say, it's spiritual energy."
Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief and said to Rogge:
"I roughly guessed its problem. It encountered the same dilemma as the pomegranate.
It is a monster, and a successful one at that. Unlike humans, it needs spiritual energy to supply its body, just like a spirit. Coming to a world without spiritual energy is like a fish out of water.
It's like we have no oxygen to breathe.
This is not a big problem. I will take it back to Bitterwood Realm and it will recover after a period of rest. However, I don’t really want to take it away.”
Jiang Xia rubbed his forehead and said:
"If it goes crazy after returning, I won't have any good way to control it.
I just offended an elder from an immortal cultivation sect over there.
If this monster gets out of control now, it would be giving others an opportunity to use force against us.
Speaking of which, can the Striver chip control it?"
"no."
Roger led the way and said:
"I've tried, but it's difficult to implant the chip into the monster's brain. Even if I succeed, I can't control it. It seems to have some kind of power that we don't understand.
It not only affects the body, but also the mind.
The bioelectricity of the chip cannot interfere with its thinking, perhaps the energy level is too low."
"It can be controlled, we just haven't found the right way to do it."
Jiang Xia flicked his fingers and said:
"Remember the two 'needles' we took out of its brain? Although they were real magic, their existence has proved that the monster is not as invulnerable as we thought."
"Um."
Rogge nodded, and after a few breaths, he continued:
“But maybe we don’t need to control it forcefully either.
It has amazing intelligence and is now awake. It has not attacked the soldiers who brought it food in the past few days and has behaved very withdrawn. Do you understand what I mean?
It can be communicated, and if you find the right way, it may be able to be used for your own benefit.”
"A demon general, to be used by me?"
Jiang Xia pursed his lips, spread his hands, and said:
"I'm not that lucky. But, Lao Luo, what you said makes sense. So, go talk to it."
"My last name is Fitals, not Luo. Don't call me that. It feels weird."
"Okay, Lao Luo."
"Again, call me Roger!"
"No problem, Lao Luo."

“Click, click, click”
As the motor ran, the heavy metal door was pulled up and down, and a beam of light shone into the dim room, replacing the dim lamp in the room and spreading light here.
This was originally a small warehouse for storing dangerous objects, but now it has been converted into a temporary cage.
But the prisoners were not criminals, nor were they shackled. On the contrary, this simple room had a bed, a dining table, and a washroom.
There was even a metal toilet installed.
It is called a cage, but in fact it is more like a place where a single dog who lives alone in seclusion lives. Perhaps to prevent it from being bored, a thin old TV is hung here, on which relaxing movies are playing.
The most important thing is that the creature in the cage actively asked Rogge and others to imprison it here.
After a long, manipulated life, it still couldn't get rid of the shadow of being controlled. It seemed to be afraid that it would suddenly lose control and hurt those benefactors who saved its life.
Even though they, and the world, are weird.
They have human appearance, but both their lifestyle and environment are completely different from the humans in this creature's memory.
Jiang Xia stood outside the cage with his hands in his pockets.
Through the railing as thick as his arm, he looked at the monster who was sitting cross-legged on the bed in the room, staring intently at the movie on the TV opposite.
A wolf demon.
It has human limbs, a body covered with black and gray hair, and a group of white hair on its chest.
It's very thin.
It was much thinner than the last time Jiang Xia saw it, almost skin and bones, and looked abnormally sick and weak.
Jiang Xia also noticed that this monster seemed to still have a sense of shame.
It wore a loose short-sleeved shirt that covered its upper body, and boxer shorts that were easy to move around in. However, it made a hole in the back of its pants, allowing a black tail to move back and forth behind it.
correct.
This is a female monster.
She is a wolf demon girl, so it is natural for her to wear this. Her face is very distinctive, like the product of the fusion of wolf and human cheeks.
It has a pair of big eyes and a furry face. There are two white spots on its forehead. Many dogs have this feature. It also has tucked ears on both sides of its head.
However, the mouth inherited the appearance of a wolf, protruding outward and with sharp teeth.
It really looks like the werewolf in Jiang Xia’s memory.
"What movie are you watching? Why are you so engrossed?"
Jiang Xia turned his head to look at the TV hanging on the wall and found that it was a fantasy movie telling the story of werewolves and humans.
When he turned his head, he happened to see a werewolf in the movie shedding his hair and turning into a human.
And in front of the werewolf, there was a naked girl with a panicked look on her face. Jiang Xia knew how the movie would develop next without having to guess.
No further words needed.
It must be a bad movie.
It is said that these movies all come from the city of paradise in the wasteland.
According to Rogge, that city is the only place in the entire wasteland that still retains a , and only the people there are in the mood to make these entertainment things after the apocalypse.
"How stupid."
The female wolf demon, sitting cross-legged on the bed, stared at the TV. When she saw the werewolf in the movie shed its fur and turned into a human, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, and she commented in a low and hoarse voice:
"How can it be so easy for a monster to transform?"
"He's a werewolf, and you're a wolf demon. Don't get too carried away. You just look alike, but you're two completely different species.
Besides, isn't that the way movies are? "
Jiang Xia, like a film critic, pouted and said to the wolf demon:
"Lao Luo said you can communicate, which saved me a lot of trouble. From your appearance, you seem to be living well these days and have started to get used to watching movies.
What's your name, monster?"
"as well as……"
"Want to go home?"
