Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 170 Pride and Prejudice and Hextech
In the following itinerary, until night fell, Marcos and his party did not encounter any unexpected things.

The sand worm seemed to have disappeared without any movement.

The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is terrifying. At noon, it reaches about [-] degrees. It is so hot that people want to peel off a layer of skin to escape the heat.

At night, the temperature dropped to single digits in an instant, and it continued to decline.

Talia used her knowledge of the desert to find a large pile of dry firewood and other combustibles before it was completely dark, and it would not be a problem to survive the night.

Sitting by the campfire, Marcus chewed dry food that was tasteless and had a terrible taste, and smoothed it down with camel milk, but the paste stuck in his throat and couldn't go down.

"Hey... this trip to the desert is over, the next time I come back, I have to wait until the off-road vehicle is made."

After choking hard for a few times, he swallowed the dry food attached to his throat. Marcos had already made a plan in his heart that the off-road vehicle would not be released for a day, and he would never go into the desert for a day.

So torturous.

I really don't understand why there are people in the world of the previous life who specially go to the desert area for sightseeing, isn't it just for sin?
Wei sat next to him holding the Atlas glove, silently ate two mouthfuls of dry food, thought about the day's events, and said, "I have a suggestion for improvement about the glove."

"Do you want to add a rush ability?" Marcos has already guessed.

"Yeah." Wei nodded: "If there is a rush function, Craig won't have to throw me over in the afternoon."

"The finished Atlas glove was designed with similar circumstances in mind. It was originally supposed to install an air pressure device at the elbow position, but there was not enough time, so this time the three pairs of samples were not on it." Marcos couldn't understand the drawings, but Zevi talked with him about the details of the blueprint of the Atlas glove, and the "powerful punch" was realized by means of an air pressure propulsion device.

Including her big move "Tian Ba ​​Huan Kong Lie Boom" is also assisted by an air pressure propulsion device. It can be said that the perfect Atlas glove, the air pressure propulsion device is the core and is indispensable.

"..." Wei was silent for a while, then said silently, "I'm troubled."

She was new to Atlas gloves, and didn't know that Marcos and the others had more comprehensive drawings, and they made suggestions based on their experience, which was a good starting point.

"You can't say that." Marcus said sternly: "It is correct that you have an idea. The definition of science lies in making corresponding adjustments, or optimizations, based on everyone's experience in use.

Many emerging technological products are actually born in the continuous optimization of old things, so every suggestion, whether useful or useless, is a ladder of progress and is of great reference value. "

"In Jingshui Prison, you are the one who dislikes studying in class the most, and spends most of your time in the interrogation room. I am quite surprised that you can put forward your own ideas with me today."

"Of course, I'm also happy for you, because this means that you are not like before, keeping everything in your heart, closing yourself up, and pretending that you are very strong."

"I understand that you are prejudiced against me. After all, you are from the bottom city, and I am a skinny guy who came out of nowhere to save you five years ago. If you say that I have no ulterior motives, I don't even believe it. "

"But... Wei, I hope you at least believe in one thing, that is, I want you to live happier lives than before."

"Or, I want to change the living conditions of the people in Dicheng. Not only me, everyone in the Hex Technology Research Institute is working tirelessly and striving for this goal."

Wei stared blankly at the fire, wondering if she was listening to Marcus.

"You won't believe it just by telling it."

"Then let me give you an example, a product that you have personally experienced, the Atlas Gloves."

Marcus patted the metal glove at his feet: "This thing, you have used it so far, you must think it is a weapon, right?"

"But what if I tell you that it was originally designed to facilitate the work of the miners in the fissure?"

Hearing this sentence, Wei's expression moved slightly, and finally she had some reaction.

She laughed at herself a few times: "You arrogant Pixie still manage the life and death of the people of the bottom city?"

"Look, this is your problem." Marcus was not angry, pointing at Wei and said: "The people of Piltover are arrogant in their bones, so why don't you have prejudices against Piltover?"

"Pride and prejudice, these are two big mountains. What we have to do is not to add a load of sand and rocks to these two mountains, but to find a way to move them away."

"The cause of 'moving mountains' takes time, and the Hex Institute of Technology can shorten this time."

"Moving the mountains..." Wei muttered softly, "These two mountains have existed for hundreds of years, and they cannot be moved by just a few of you."

Not to mention other people, just starting from Wei herself, she has been in contact with Marcos for five years, but she has not been able to completely reverse the prejudice against the Pimps. She is always wary of Marcos in her heart, thinking that he is using her , to achieve an ulterior purpose.

Even if they are like this, how can those people from the bottom city who have a more ingrained image of Pilties resolve their grievances and estrangements so easily?
What Marcus said was meant for her to hear, but if he told any other Dicheng people, he would inevitably be ridiculed mercilessly, laughing at him for being self-righteous, laughing at his self-righteousness, and laughing at his hypocrisy.

"The road to change is always full of thorns, and I will lead Hextech to become a pioneer on this thorny road, overcoming the thorns!"

Marcus looked at the fire, and said in a deep voice: "This road is destined to be difficult, and there will be many obstacles, but I also believe that there will always be like-minded people joining in, contributing to the path of change, and making a contribution. beam of light."

The bonfire was burning, and the dry wood was beeping, as if responding to Marcus' words.

Wei held the dry food and pressed it to her lips, watching the dancing flames for a long time.

Marcus added a few pieces of dry wood to the bonfire, and the weakened flame gradually grew stronger again.

He didn't bother Wei until they had finished their dinner and then began to arrange the night duty.

"Craig, you and Wei will rest for a while, and I will guard the first half of the night. You and Wei will take turns guarding the second half of the night. If there is any movement, remember to wake me up."

The night in the desert is not long, only less than nine hours.

If they take turns to guard, each of them only needs to guard for three hours, which will not affect sleep and rest.

"What about me?" Thalia leaned over: "Don't I need to be on duty?"

"you?"

Marcus glanced at her: "Your only task is to shut your mouth and stop talking nonsense!"

"You! You are prejudiced against me!"

Talia was so angry that she turned her head and slapped her hand on the ground, causing the rock to rise into a curved stone wall.

She went to lie down behind the stone wall, just enough to withstand the cold night wind in the desert.
