The most poisonous female supporting role in the end times
Chapter 5 Taking in
In the world where Su Tang lived, the Su family was once a fairly large family of weapon makers. In addition to the main family, there were more than ten side branches.
Each of them has mastered a weapon-making technology.
The largest master family is proficient in making weapons.
Unlike those mass-produced items, most of the various utensils made by the Su family are custom-made, and a small number are the makers' hobbies.
Making tools is not an easy task.
It requires talent, but more importantly, patience and perseverance.
No matter what kind of instrument it is, it starts from the simplest and becomes more complex.
It often takes a person's entire life's energy to invest.
The Su family was once prosperous.
But with the changes of the times, on the one hand, people prefer more convenient and fast assembly line products, and have fewer requirements for customization; on the other hand, people's hearts are becoming more and more impetuous, and there are fewer and fewer people in the family who can sit down and study the manufacture of equipment.
Gradually, the Su family declined.
By the time of Grandpa Su Tang's generation, there were only two sons.
Su Tang's uncle had no interest in making tools, so he separated from the family early on and became independent. The side branch gradually lost contact until they were cut off from each other. More than a decade ago, when Su Tang's parents died unexpectedly, only the old man and the young were left in the main house of the Su family.
Su Tang started his education at the age of three and began learning how to make weapons at the age of four.
Due to national policy, the Su family has gradually abandoned the exploration of hot weapons and focused on the research of cold weapons. Su Tang first made wooden weapons, then metal weapons, and later, he studied and tried various materials.
She specializes in weapons, but in her spare time, she also likes to tinker with other types of tools.
She is very interested in everything from small interior decorations to large factory machinery.
In many cases, when making tools, one can draw inferences from other cases and create something new from the old. Only those who can do it are the real tool makers in her mind.
She is intelligent and hardworking, and sometimes even works all night long.
In the past twenty years, she has learned more than her grandfather, but she still thinks she is not qualified.
Exploration is the essence of tool making.
To her, the wood processing machine in her hand is just the simplest structure.
Asking the big man for tools, she tried them out one by one, confirming the differences between these wrenches, pliers, chisel, knives, etc. and the original ones.
Perhaps because of the shortage of electricity, Su Tang noticed that most of the power tools here had changed, and their energy source seemed to be a battery-like substitute. Fortunately, when they were running, their sharpness and speed were better than before.
After becoming familiar with all the tools, she started disassembling the processor directly.
However, although she understood the structure, it was not easy to actually do it, especially when one hand was intact.
After trying for a long time, she still couldn't turn the screws on the processor with one hand. Under the mocking smile of the big man, Su Tang tried her right arm and felt that it was not as serious as she thought. She gritted her teeth and removed the splint, preparing to use both hands. Under the somewhat moved eyes of the big man, she felt something strange as soon as she exerted force.
It was clearly broken at that time... But now, not only can I use force, but the force is not small, even more than the intact one...
She didn't have time to think about what was going on.
I could only be thankful that I quickly unscrewed the first screw on the processor, and then successfully removed the saw on it according to the results I had just observed.
Then comes the engine. It is impossible to cut such a large piece of wood by hand.
Her eyes turned to a machine in the corner...
At this moment, the big man, who had been stunned because he was surprised that the little girl in front of him had such skills, suddenly woke up, flew over at a speed that was inconsistent with his height, and blocked the machine firmly.
"You, you, you can't touch it!"
Su Tang was stunned for a moment and then burst out laughing.
"Why are you like this? She's not your wife."
The big man glared at her, "It's more important than my wife!"
Su Tang spread his hands, "But you said you can use it casually."
The big man opened his mouth and closed it again, his conflicted expression was obvious, and finally, he sighed, "Okay, you stay." Then he immediately added, "Let me make it clear first, I originally wanted to find someone with a strength major, and you are totally unqualified. But... I accepted you because you are quite flexible under my command. Food and accommodation are provided, but don't think about the salary! What do you say?" The corners of his mouth twitched violently, and Su Tang nodded heavily. At least, he wouldn't have to sleep on the streets tonight.
"Uncle, I want to ask you something. You are just hiring people to make furniture. Isn't it a waste of talent to hire a power-type mutant?"
The big man was puzzled. "Little guy, are you new to the Dead City? No, that's not right. Even if you've been to other bases, you can't have never heard of it. Don't you ever go out?"
When asked this question, Su Tang immediately realized that she had made a common sense mistake. But this was obviously a good time to understand. She scratched her head and said hesitantly, "I seldom go out. When my father was around, he always said it was too dangerous outside. But now... he's gone, so I..."
"That's it."
The big man showed a look of disapproval, and sighed, "At the beginning of the apocalypse, primitive superpowers like those of the power and speed types were still quite popular. At that time, there were few mutant plants and animals, and zombies. Our enemies were mainly zombies. When zombies were at a low level, they were not a big threat. As long as we dared to attack, humans rarely died. But later it was different. There were fewer and fewer zombies, and their levels were getting higher and higher. In addition, plants and animals mutated one after another. The most terrifying were zombies. If people were bitten or scratched, even superpowers could not guarantee that they would not be infected with the virus! In this case, natural superpowers, which are relatively easy to upgrade, will inevitably become the main combat force of each base. Even spiritual superpowers, which are slightly more difficult to upgrade, are better than primitive superpowers... It is difficult to upgrade, and the combat effectiveness is weak. They are not much stronger than ordinary people. How can the treatment be good? Otherwise, when the city lord chose to leave the base, there would not be so many primitive superpowers following him. Moreover, over the years, many primitive superpowers have defected one after another."
So that's how it is. It turns out that it is not easy to upgrade my speed ability. This is really not good news.
"So, the city lord is also a primitive mutant?"
The big man raised his eyebrows, obviously speechless at her ignorance, and said after a while, "No, of course not, the city lord is a shapeshifter. It is also quite difficult to upgrade shapeshifters. In the original base, he was treated almost the same as the original psychics. However, after all these years, he is probably the highest-level shapeshifter in China, so everyone is gathered here."
Shapeshifter?
Why does it sound so familiar?
Ah! Transformers!
Could it be an Autobot or Megatron?! Su Tang was immediately shocked by his imagination...
Well, of course that's not possible.
But she didn't feel comfortable asking any further questions. This seemed to be common sense, and she didn't want to challenge the big man's bottom line, lest he suddenly regret keeping her!
Anyway, you'll know sooner or later.
After asking the big man indirectly for some common sense, and learning that accommodation could be provided starting now, but food would have to wait until tomorrow, Su Tang ate a piece of compressed biscuit regretfully and returned to the small room assigned to him.
It's really small, basically only room for a single bed and a table with a wardrobe and storage cabinet.
But she didn't want to be picky. She locked the door, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep in less than two minutes.
This day is so tiring!
