They reached an agreement.
Li xiaonian didn’t want to stay any longer. He turned around and looked at his brother and sister, who were in shock.”Don’t daze. Pack up and we’ll leave.”
“Big brother, where are we going?” Lu Qianhui was the first to react.
The younger brother, li zhedong, was not as simple-minded as his younger sister. He thought about it more and frowned.”Brother, are you sure it’ll be safe for us to leave the residential area? Without enough food and a warm house, we ... Could die of hunger or cold in the wilderness at any time.”
The radiation on the abandoned planet was too high, so no food could be grown on it. The sources of food were the leftovers from the garbage piles, which were so few that they could be ignored, and the food distributed by the law-enforcement officers to the managers of the various regions, who would then trade it to the commoners.
Useless lowlifes have no right to live.
A high and mighty manager controlled the food, which meant that he controlled the fate of the lowlifes and was at his mercy.
In order to comfort his brother, li xiaonian showed his strong self-confidence and patted his brother’s shoulder.”Big brother knows what he’s doing. Don’t worry, everything will be fine. With big brother here, all problems won’t be a problem.”
......
Half a month passed by in the blink of an eye.
Li xiaonian, li zhedong, and Lu Qianhui, the three siblings, stared at the scorching sun in the vast sea of garbage as they trudged forward.
“Brother, I ... I can’t walk anymore.” Lu Qianhui sat on the ground, panting.
Li zhedong didn’t say he was tired, but he was also panting like a bull.
Fifteen days. The three siblings had walked for a total of fifteen days. They only had one goal, which was to get out of the garbage ocean and head to an area without garbage.
Li xiaonian firmly believed that on this abandoned planet, there was definitely an area that wasn’t occupied by trash. There were definitely humans living in that area, and even if there were no humans, there were still living creatures and vegetation.
Only by escaping from the sea of garbage could he completely escape from the control of the law-enforcement officers.
In the first few days of the fifteen days, they could only rely on the food they had robbed from the Bucktooth to produce food. After li xiaonian had adapted to the surrounding environment and found out the living pattern of the mutated beasts, he could hunt by himself and be self-sufficient.
Water source? He did not lack any. He had stored dozens of tons of water in the Tianfeng Arsenal, so he could use it without any worries. As long as there was enough food, everything would not be a problem.
“If you can’t walk, then rest for a while and drink some water.” Li xiaonian put down his huge luggage, took out two bottles of water, and handed them to his younger sister and brother.
“Brother, do you really believe that if we keep walking, we can really walk out of this sea of trash?” Li zhedong brought up the past again.
Li xiaonian nodded. it’ll be best if you can find it. If you can’t, then just treat this trip as a way to train yourself. During this period of time, you’ve been very tired every day, but your cultivation speed has obviously increased by a lot. When you’ve successfully cultivated the tyrant body, you’ll be able to live well no matter where you go.
brother! Lu Qianhui was taken aback. brother, if we leave like this, then ... Aren’t you going back on your word with brother Bucktooth? ”
“Hmph,” he snorted.
Li xiaonian coldly snorted. what nonsense. The cultivation technique for Overlord body is only the one I gave you. There’s no such thing as a lower-class cultivation technique. Also, Qian Hui, you have to remember that the reason why Bucktooth was friendly to you was because he wanted to get close to me. He wanted to obtain the second volume of [ Overlord body ] that I weaved. If it wasn’t for that ... Given how hawkfang is, he’d definitely lock you up right away and send you to boss Zhu to claim credit.”
“......”
“......”
Lu Qianhui and Li zhedong’s mouths were half open.
Li xiaonian’s performance had changed their perception of him. Their usually polite, decisive, and somewhat ruthless big brother was actually so cunning. No, it should be said that he was so smart.
Li xiaonian ignored his brother and sister’s shock and earnestly lectured them,”Do you think big brother is very cunning?”
it’s right to be cunning. In this area, we are all lowly people. If we want to live a better life, we have to be ruthless and use our brains when we need to. Blindly playing the good guy will only accelerate our death or become the target of slavery.
Li xiaonian rambled on and on, imparting all sorts of knowledge to his younger siblings. He even gave examples of all the fraud cases on earth, as well as the history of blood and tears, and described them one by one according to the life on the abandoned planet.
He spoke for more than half an hour.
Li xiaonian took a deep breath. if I say too much, you won’t be able to remember everything in a short time. That’s all I’ll say for today. We’ve had enough rest, so let’s continue.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah.” 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎
Lu Qianhui and Li zhedong responded one after another and followed li xiaonian silently.
On the other hand, li xiaonian held the laser gun and continued to travel in the designated direction.
On the way, he couldn’t help but think of the violent loli, Yu Ling.
He didn’t know if she was Dead or Alive. Sigh ... Forget it, he didn’t want to think too much about it. Even if she was alive, not leaving this place for a day was simply torture. Death might be a relief for the residents of the abandoned planet.
Although they were walking, the three siblings ‘speed was not really slow.
In half a month, the three siblings had walked at least 2000 kilometers. A journey of over 100 kilometers a day was not difficult for cultivators.
Night fell.
Li xiaonian threw a deep hole in the garbage pile for his brother and sister to hide in. Then, he buried the garbage pile again, leaving only a small hole that was as big as a breath’s time.
you two, focus on your cultivation. If anything happens, remember to tell me that big brother has gone out to find food.
These days, li xiaonian had been settling down his younger brother and sister like this. As for himself, he would go out to look for food and hunt for mutated creatures hidden in the dark.
With the Tianfeng munitions factory around, he could hide in the factory if he encountered an extremely dangerous situation.
“Big brother, you’re so long-winded.” Lu Qianhui could not help but complain. on the contrary, you should be more careful and not take too many risks.
Li xiaonian waved his hand and said confidently, ” don’t worry. I have a laser gun with me. Furthermore, big brother is a sharpshooter. No living creature can hurt him.
Li zhedong looked at his brother’s back as he left, and he unconsciously clenched his fists.
In this half a month, he finally understood what it meant to be a good-for-nothing. The current him was a living good-for-nothing. He was only two years younger than his brother, but the two of them could not be compared.
......
Taking advantage of the fact that the sky wasn’t completely dark yet, li xiaonian climbed up a mountain of garbage that hadn’t been excavated much. He put on gloves and started digging through the garbage bit by bit.
One piece of trash after another was thrown behind him.
“There’s too little copper in this circuit board. I don’t want it.”
“This steel plate ... There’s too much catalyst. What a pity.”
“Huh ... This is diagonal scrap?” Li xiaonian held a strange piece of metal in his hand. He felt that it was useful and threw it into the Arsenal.
These days, li xiaonian had been rummaging through all the garbage piles along the way, but unfortunately, not a single piece of iron was pig iron, let alone wild iron ore.
Without an iron mine, the imitation Processing Workshop in the Arsenal could not start production to make handguns in batches.
After working for two hours, the sky turned dark and the stars were shining.
Li xiaonian’s body disappeared. When he reappeared, he was inside the Arsenal.
Little Bear, help me analyze these items. Which ones are useful and which ones are useless. Li xiaonian pointed at the loot they had collected that night-trash.
Little Bear, in the form of a mini Gray Bear, floated in the garbage dump and stretched out a finger. this ... This ... And this. The copper and iron ores that can be decomposed are too little. They have no value.
Li xiaonian felt regretful. He could only listen to Little bear’s suggestion and throw the scraps back into the factory.
After li xiaonian’s renovation, the Arsenal had changed its appearance. The empty space was filled with all kinds of broken water buckets filled with clean water. The surroundings were also filled with all kinds of garbage that li xiaonian had collected.
In the cleanest area, there was an unfinished giant rat meat and seven or eight Gophers with holes in their heads.
Li xiaonian picked up the roasted rat meat and took a few bites. Then, he gulped down a large bottle of water and lay flat on the bed in the room, closing his eyes comfortably.
Midnight.
Little Bear, who was originally in a daze, floated toward li xiaonian and shouted, ” “Host, it’s already midnight.”
Li xiaonian opened his eyes, got up, and nodded. “I know.”
With half a piece of raw rat meat in one hand and a laser gun in the other, he returned to the abandoned planet from the Arsenal.
He found an area with traces of living creatures, placed the rat meat, and retreated 100 meters. At a high point, he set up a laser gun and aimed at the area where the trap was set.
Rat meat had a bloody smell, which could attract mutated creatures. Li xiaonian’s method had been working well these days. I’m tired of eating rat meat. I hope we have a different creature tonight.
Time passed by slowly.
The bloody rat meat didn’t attract any large creatures. Instead, there were many mosquitoes. Some of the mosquitoes ‘bodies glowed on their own and attached themselves to the rat meat. The rat meat was very shiny and obvious.
“We didn’t work for nothing tonight, did we?” 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮
Li xiaonian furrowed his brows and turned to look at the trash pile where his younger brother and sister were hiding. After making sure that nothing had happened, he could only turn back and continue observing his surroundings.
Hu ...
A gust of cold wind blew past. Li xiaonian’s eyebrows were covered in frost, but his body didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. Keeping warm was just one of the most insignificant functions of the silver Frost battle suit.
In the past, without the silver Frost battle suit, he would have to wrap himself with at least seven or eight pieces of clothes that he had picked up from the trash.
He even had to wear two pairs of gloves.
Unlike now, when he was traveling light, it did not affect the flexibility of his fingers and his body’s reaction ability at all.
“Such a powerful Silver Frost battle suit, if I had two more to give to my younger brother and sister, it would be even better. Unfortunately, the items of the Tianfeng royal family are all of the best quality. Even if I have money, I don’t have anywhere to buy them. Furthermore ... I don’t have any money right now.”
forget it, let’s not think about this. What I need to do now is to settle down, find an iron mine, refine a batch of pig iron, produce a batch of pistols, and if possible, produce enough bullets.
Just as li xiaonian’s thoughts were running wild ...
Crack ...
A faint sound came from the garbage mountain ahead. Li xiaonian’s expression was tense.”They’re here?”
Through the night vision device of the laser gun, he looked ahead, but ... It was still cold and empty. There was nothing. Even the glowing mosquitoes attached to the rat meat did not have any intention of flying away.
“The sound of the wind?”
Li xiaonian continued to observe for a long time. After some thought, he turned on the thermal image scanner on the laser gun’s lens. When the thermal image was activated, the laser gun would consume energy. Without an energy source to replenish, the energy source of the laser gun would decrease with each use. There was no place to replenish it.
Half a month had passed, and the original 98% energy was now only left with 32%.
Li xiaonian was startled when he opened the box.
In the thermal imaging lens, a Black Panther the size of a calf with two fangs hanging from the corner of its mouth was hiding behind a garbage dump. Its eyes were staring straight at the rat meat that li xiaonian had thrown in. It took a few steps forward, but then retreated.
Li xiaonian secretly swallowed his saliva. I can finally change my taste. A mutated Black Panther with such a huge body can eat at least a month without restraint.
Under li xiaonian’s observation, the Black Panther paced back and forth a few times. There were a few times when it wanted to pounce on the rat meat and swallow it in one bite. However, after taking a few steps, it retreated and hid its body.
The Black Panther’s size was equivalent to four li xiaonian’s, but its steps were unusually agile. It didn’t make any sound when it stepped on the garbage.
“What a smart black Panther.”
Li xiaonian frowned. could it be that it has already discovered my existence? ” If that’s the case ... All the more reason to kill it. ”
Being stared at by a Black Panther, and with his brother and sister not having any combat power, one could imagine how dangerous it was.
Suddenly, the cheetah sensed something. Its body tensed up, and it pounced. It turned into a shadow, swept past the rat meat, and swallowed it in one bite.
“Now!”
Li xiaonian’s eyes lit up as he pulled the trigger of the laser gun.
Buzzzzzz!
With a flash of white light, the laser gun hit the Black Panther’s body. However, it did not hit the Black Panther’s head, only its front carapace.
The Black Panther was injured by the shot. It looked at li xiaonian angrily.”Roar!”
Li xiaonian didn’t think much of it and pulled the trigger again.
Buzzzzzz!
Another ray of white light illuminated the entire night sky.
However, this time, the Black Panther was on guard. It twisted its huge body and easily dodged the laser gun’s shot.
“So strong!”
Li xiaonian sighed to himself. With a fierce look on his face, he switched the laser gun’s shooting mode to a grenade.
Crack, whoosh ~
A grenade the size of a fist was fired at the Black Panther that was sprinting towards him.
BOOM!
With a loud bang, the Black Panther, despite its agility, was still shaken by the powerful aftershock. Its huge body rolled to the right in a sorry state.
Li xiaonian pulled the trigger again.
BOOM!
Another grenade exploded. This time, the Black Panther was hit directly. Its huge body flew backward and was embedded in the garbage pile.
In order to save on grenades, li xiaonian switched to burst fire mode.
Buzzzzzz! Buzzzzzz!
Two shots were fired, each one hitting the Black Panther’s head.
The Black Panther twitched for about three minutes ... Before it finally stopped breathing.
“I’ve earned!”
Li xiaonian excitedly ran toward the Black Panther’s corpse. He observed the Black Panther quietly from a distance of more than ten meters away and muttered, I thought he was smart and was pretending to be dead. It turns out he’s really dead.
Black Panther’s body was not only injured by gun and bomb wounds, but also by cold weapons. The cold weapon had caused the wound on his lower left abdomen, and it was very fresh.
As he approached the Black Panther, li xiaonian heard a noise in front of him. Without a word, he immediately threw the Black Panther’s body into the Arsenal. Then, he found a hidden spot and looked ahead vigilantly.
“Are they the law-enforcement officers who are hunting Black Panther?”
His originally happy mood instantly turned sour. He could hide, but his brother and sister definitely couldn’t. Therefore, he could only observe in secret. If it really didn’t work, he could just kill all of them in one breath.
Three minutes later.
A group of three Nightwalkers in black appeared. As it was dark, li xiaonian couldn’t see their faces and specific attire. However, judging from their actions, they didn’t look like law enforcers.
After all, the law-enforcement officers did not lack food, and they would not carry all kinds of supplies with them. Among the three people in front of him, two of them were holding long sabers, and one of them was carrying a thick bag.
