"We are not hostile, although we are not travelers." Ivan raised his hands and approached slowly, he didn't even make any eye contact with his companion, "Come let's talk, I believe you don't want to take that girl Argue too?"

"Stop! Don't go any further!" Xia Lin quickly put the safety on with his thumb, and three red warning stripes lit up on the body of the gun, indicating that the weapon's accumulator was ready to be activated, although his index finger was still outside the guard ring , but Ivan still felt a terrible palpitation.

The blunderbuss in the opponent's hand gave me a great sense of danger, which was completely different from the thing in Sataran's hand. I didn't even feel this way when facing Vasily's sniper crossbow. If you move again, there will be instant deadly fear.

As a veteran who has survived hundreds of battles on the battlefield, Ivan has always trusted his sixth sense. He obediently stopped and did not approach. Instead, he looked down at his surroundings and simply sat down cross-legged. The person sitting was It is difficult to get up and attack in an instant, this is a gesture of expressing one's innocence.

"What about him?" "Sorry, it's as if you don't trust us, and we don't trust you either." The man with antlers behind Ivan decisively pointed the crossbow at the tent instead of Xia Lin. He was not sure that the crossbow in his hand could kill anyone. For a heavy armor like Xia Lin, threatening that little girl without any armor is the only way.

This method is not advocated by the shield troops and the old man, but if it is to avoid casualties and conflicts, it is also possible.

They are not moral cleanliness, they just have a bottom line. If there is a conflict, then Vasily will definitely shoot, of course, aiming at the girl's leg, so that the other party has a leg injury and cannot pursue.

Xia Lin maintains this posture, pointing the gun at Ivan, not the guy holding the crossbow bolt. Although the Mach 6.5 iron-lead bullet is definitely faster than the opponent's crossbow bolt, the opponent's index finger has already been put into the guard ring, and the finger twitched at the moment of death It will also make the crossbow arrows shoot into Yelena's tent, so pointing at the man sitting on the ground is the only way.

"Okay, what do you want to talk about?"

"Regarding your identities, you don't look like people from this place either." Ivan smiled. The girl was okay to say, she looked skinny and not half as tall as her own shield, but this man was a little Special, and that strange farm.

"Tell me first, you are not travelers, and you cannot be villagers nearby. Who are you?"

"We are the infected." The strong man raised his sleeves, revealing the crystals on his arm to prove that he was telling the truth. Xia Lin didn't let down his vigilance because of this, because Yelena said that many of the infected would die because they had no hope. Become a scumbag who can do all kinds of bad things and dare to do them.

In a sense, the infected are discriminated against, on the one hand because of their terminal illness and political propaganda, but the impact on most ordinary people who are also struggling on the poverty line is not very big. Really cut off the infected It is they themselves who gain the possibility of sympathy.

After a group of people who lacked program guidance, faith, future and hope obtained the Originium skills enhanced by infection, what would they do in the face of those cold eyes and their own hunger and cold?

It is to rob, kill, steal, and even indulge one's animal nature.

So did they unleash this hatred and revenge on the nobles, warlords and financial groups that caused their situation?

No, they are doubling the pain on civilians and ordinary people who might have sympathized with them, and may even become their members at any time in this shit-like world!

It is impossible for them to rush into a metropolis like Longmen, and it is impossible for them to attack the elites and nobles under the heavy protection of organizations such as the Guard Bureau, Internal Guard, and Private PMC, so who will they attack?

Of course, in ordinary small villages and towns on the snowfield, it is not uncommon for infected people to become bandits.

And this makes these villages and towns have a very deep hatred for the infected, and they don't even need Ursus officials to help, they will hostile and reject all the infected, and even fear them.

Even if the old man put in a lot of effort to rectify and protect those ordinary people from the scum of Ursus without discrimination, it is still difficult to get understanding and support. They may be afraid of the mighty power of the shield troops and temporarily compromise, but once If the shield troops leave, those infected who settle down will face greater violence and hostility.

And they themselves will find that these villages and towns will soon disappear on their route, and then the picket team of Ursus will get a lot of reporting information, and they will follow and kill them like shadows.

"You two don't look like infected miners, what are your identities, I ask you to tell the truth"

"But you didn't tell the truth, why don't we change the way, you ask a question, we ask a question, neither of us can confirm whether the other is telling the truth or lying, so it's really meaningless to entangle in this matter," Ivan said with a smile.

As the captain of the reconnaissance team, he is not a brainless guy who can't speak. The reconnaissance team is different from the combat team. They need to infiltrate the defense area and negotiate with the local infected people on a regular basis. They don't have any adaptability and eloquence. , I'm afraid it's not difficult to move an inch.

"The two of us came out to explore the way. We are from a group of infected people. You know that infected people have a bad reputation. We can only report to the group to keep warm. Now it's your turn. Who are you two?"

"Xia Lin, the development technical specialist of the Star Road Development Company, is in charge of developing the wilderness. As for Yelena, I rescued her, and she is also an infected person." He was telling the truth, because he told the truth and lies. The meaning is the same, and the other party can't verify it. It's better to tell the truth than to make up a story that may be exposed on the spot at any time because you are not familiar with the local environment.

"It's me instead. What are you doing here? Why are you following us? Also, the two of you who were wandering outside my farm before, or the two of you belong to the same force, right?"

"Ah, this question is a long story. To make a long story short, we can't survive in the north. We migrate to the south to try our luck. The food in the south is more abundant, and we still have many women and children."

Yes, there are women and children. If this person and his forces hear the news and plan to have a vote, the father will let them know why they dare to gather women and children, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled to cross the snowfield together.

"As for why you are following you, this is a misunderstanding. Although these are three issues, I will treat them as one, which can be regarded as sincerity." Ivan tapped his palms, "Infected people are never accepted by ordinary people. As soon as they report to the pickets, we may be attacked, so it makes sense for the two of you to show up on our migration route and observe?"

"Indeed..." Xia Lin thought for a while, and the muzzle of the gun slightly moved down, which was considered a kind of sincerity. After the two parties answered these basic questions, the atmosphere eased a little.

Combined with the previous investigation, he believes that this may be a mobile village formed by a group of infected people. These two people are likely to be members of the militia or guards, and have received paramilitary training and combat training.

Then again, migrating on the snowy field, even if there is such a wasteland-like vehicle, it is probably not an easy task, and it is still a group of infected people, so there are two guys with big waists and paramilitary training to explore the way And guards are also reasonable.

However, Xia Rin is still a little worried, because even if the other party is completely telling the truth, in such an open question, the other party's answer is difficult to judge whether they are ordinary infected villages, or something else, such as bandits The ones that are even more troublesome are those who are usually civilians but will become robbers if given the chance.

"You don't speak like an ordinary person." "This is another new question. Well, I used to serve in the Ursus army, but I quit later. As for why I didn't do it~" Ivan lit up the origin stone crystal on his wrist, indicating that there is still need to explain the reason.

"Now it's time for me to ask questions. You asked at least four questions, so it's my turn. What are you doing here?"

"Mining" Xia Lin pointed to the drilling rig at the side, "Drilling rig, mining pyrite, this is also a discount, so you won't waste the opportunity to ask two questions."

"Ah, this is true. I have never seen a machine before, but you just said that you are opening up wasteland. What are you going to do here? I mean, are you going to open up something? A mine? That's right, there are Many infected people fled into the wilderness, Ursus officials also like to let the infected people here to fend for themselves, this is a good business." Ivan stared at Xia Lin, he couldn't see the other party's eyes, but he Need an answer to this question.

Drilling rigs, mining, snowfields, and pioneering, it is really hard not to think that he is preparing for a new mine. If this is the case, then the shield guard has a new goal.

"Mines? Infected people? That's too backward. Forget it, I don't plan to open mines. Opening up the wilderness means literally turning the wasteland into farmland and settlements."

"Ah, that's really nice." Ivan didn't know whether it was sarcasm or sincerity, snowfield, snowfield, snowfield of Ursus, if it can really turn into a continuous stretch of rich farmland and a prosperous settlement, then he would be considered an unsmiling old man They will all smile.

"However, I would like to remind you that it is not easy to open up fields here. Countless people have failed, even His Majesty the Emperor."

"That's my business."

"Okay, my next question is, you said you saved the little infected girl, what's wrong with her? Can you tell me a little bit more about it?" Going deeper, for example, what kind of technology is there, and what happened to the gun What's more, those greenhouses and machines that I don't understand are out of date. The two sides haven't trusted each other to this point, and even if the other party says it, there is no way to prove it.

Therefore, Ivan can only turn to such personal issues, and this matter can also be used as an evaluation of Xia Lin, not the power behind him, even if the power he belongs to is a pile of shit, but if he personally evaluates If it is good, at least this person is worth fighting for.

And the most important thing is that after showing the sign of being an infected person, the other party did not show any obvious mood swings, which means that the other party is at least not hostile to the infected person, or the hostility is not deep, which is also a kind of Factors that can be fought for a little bit.

"Well." Xia Lin didn't expect the other party to be interested in this matter, and said slowly, "I met two strong men when I went out to collect moss, they were chasing her, and it seems that I misunderstood Me what, attacking me, I had to get them...dealed with."

"I have to say, you did a good job." Ivan waved his hand to his companion, who put down the crossbow in his hand, "Also, can you calm down that cutie a little bit? It's okay if she gets too nervous. "Xia Rin also made a reassuring gesture in the direction of the tent, and retracted the gun barrel exposed at the corner of the tent.

Yelena sleeps very lightly. This is a habit developed in the mine. She will wake up quickly when there is almost any disturbance. Therefore, she woke up when they started talking, and then quietly took out the rifle that was placed aside and aimed it at the girl. The guy with the crossbow.

"Come out, don't pretend to be asleep when you wake up." The tent made a rustling sound, and a girl wearing a cold jacket and a turtleneck sweater got out holding a rifle, with a frustrated expression, "Sorry~ "

"It's okay." Xia Lin stroked her tender white short hair, and resisted the urge to rub the pair of delicate and short rabbit ears. The ears of a creature like a beast ear girl really make people... ..Ahem, now is not the time to think about this.

"After that, I brought her back to my workshop and cured her. I was short of people and she had nowhere to go, so she stayed and worked for me, anyway, doing some farm work on the farm It’s not too bad a thing.”

"Well, that's true." If there is a choice, Ivan himself would like to be an ordinary agricultural employee in a certain mobile farm, dealing with fodder, soil, cattle and horses every day, staring at the sky in a daze in his spare time, living a peaceful and warm life , but this shit-like world doesn't allow it.

"Then she is lucky"

"Ah, so don't everyone say that rabbits represent luck, maybe this is the lucky rabbit."

"Lucky.....rabbit" Yelena touched her ears. She always believed that she was the embodiment of bad luck. Her parents and grandparents were all dead, and her friends were all killed by the black sign in the mine. When it was her turn, many people said that she had a bad luck curse, and that everyone close to her would be unlucky.

Yelena showed a sweet smile, the title of God of Death was too heavy for a ten-year-old girl.

According to her past destiny trajectory, the curse of death will accompany her all her life, comrades, friends, relatives, adoptive father will all die, even herself, the only person who understands herself a little before death is a guy who can't die, how can Seems to be the curse of death.

The appearance of the lovely Yelena eased the atmosphere between the two parties a lot. Ivan originally wanted to take out something to please the little girl, but after a long time of groping, he found a piece of ginger candy for repelling the cold. The word embarrassment is written all over it.

However, Yelena took the piece of ginger candy naturally, and politely whispered a thank you. Her grandmother used to try to make some ginger candy for her. This kind of bitter and spicy "candy" made the life of the mine It is slightly easier to boil.

"Haha, I didn't bring anything with me when I came out, only this gadget"

"You don't have enough supplies?" Xia Lin looked at the dark piece of ginger candy, frowning slightly behind the mask. It's not a good thing for a group of guys with force but obviously insufficient supplies to pass by.

Compared to trading, robbing is generally the best option. However, this guy in front of him looks pretty good. Maybe you can consider the possibility of negotiation?

"Yeah, who can say that the supplies are sufficient on the snowy field, and your supplies should also be insufficient, otherwise you wouldn't..."

"Wow, wow~" There was a rush of branches colliding in the forest, and the expressions of Ivan and the crossbowman became serious in an instant, "Your man!?" He and Xia Lin said in unison, and in the next instant Understand that the visitor is a stranger to both parties.

"Next!" The crossbowman threw the halberd behind his back, Ivan grabbed it in his hand, and Xia Lin and Yelena also quickly raised their guns. No matter what came, I'm afraid they had bad intentions.

Chapter No.17 Night Raid

"Go to the car bed." Xia Lin grabbed Yelena who was behind her and stuffed her into the car bed, "Don't show your head!"

Another crossbowman also went around to the back of the vehicle, and loaded his own mechanical crossbow with a short arrow. The way he used the crossbow to be stringed was to pull the handle on the side back to wind up the string, which looked like pulling a large bolt.

The way to shoot the arrow is through the slanted opening at the bottom. The arrow is a short dart-like shape, and it seems that the penetrating power should be good.

"Come to look for you?" Xia Lin asked, there were shadows swaying everywhere in the forest, and when switching to optical enhancement, only shadowy people could be seen surrounding them in a standard semi-surrounding posture.

"Probably" Ivan stretched his wrist, "it should not be the official picket team, but those hunters, damn wild dogs!"

"Junker?"

"It's not the same as mercenaries. The free slave hunting team in the new era catches infected people everywhere and sends them to mines for money. Of course, they also catch ordinary people to make infected people and sell them. They should be these bastards." Ivan will With the shield in front of him, "Why are you standing in front, a sniper, go behind!"

"It's not that I don't have a shield, why go to the back?" Xia Lin gave him a strange look, a horizontal bar popped out from her forearm and quickly unfolded into a bunker shield made of countless thin triangular metal pieces, which was inserted in front of her. , "In other words, a group of human traffickers?"

"So to speak! Here they come!"

"Xuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" A dozen crossbow arrows rushed over, and the crystals of the arrowheads exploded in mid-air, turning into crystal powder and falling down, "Origin stone arrows, be careful, they are going to make you infected too!" The folded halberd opened a few arrows and roared.

"It's okay, Yelena, put on your mask!"

"Hmm, um!" The girl had already pulled up the breathing mask hanging around her neck, and the origin stone powder didn't affect anything except for making her tremble slightly.

"The equipment is good, are you really here to run a farm?"

"Otherwise!? Be careful!" A ball of flames flew out of the forest and rushed directly towards the direction of the vehicle, but was blocked by Ivan's standard fast horizontal movement and raised the shield. The flames scattered and splashed, Xia Lin kicked on the bonfire Go up and let the burning wood fly out in the direction of the attack.

"Bang!" Yelena fired the moment the flames illuminated the front figure. The hunting rifle was not designed for combat. Its ammunition capacity, shooting speed, and armor-piercing ability were all very bad, but its advantages were Accurate, hunters generally do not have the leeway to fire a second shot. If they are not accurate enough, they will definitely go bankrupt due to missing prey and wasting ammunition.

The figure at the head fell in response to the sound, which not only caused the attackers to pause for a moment, but the infected crossbowman who was closer to the white rabbit almost dropped his crossbow on the ground. It's not small, and the sound of close-range heavy hunting rifles firing is quite loud.

In contrast, the sound of the Falcon assault rifle that Xia Lin fired later was much quieter. The pure electromagnetic rifle does not require chamber pressure. Quickly drain the gap of high-pressure gas.

"Da da da~ da da da~!" Dull and precise three bursts of fire, one by one light spots quickly disappeared among the trees, under the optical enhanced vision, he shot towards any shaking shadows, under the heavy bullet of Mach 6.5 , the defense of trees can basically be regarded as none.

In fact, even when a middle-power rifle bullet is shot at a distance of less than 100 meters, unless it is a big tree with several people hugging it, the blocking effect of ordinary diameter wood is very bad, let alone shrubs Shields made of clumps and thin planks of wood and iron.

After discovering that the shields used to defend against snipers' heavy shields were useless, the hunters simply gave up their plans for long-range bombardment, and spread out to both sides and rushed upwards in the same way as they used to deal with crossbowmen.

Gun is essentially a kind of magic staff. It uses the user's Originium skills to launch an attacking weapon. Even with the assistance of a staff, performing Originium skills will quickly become exhausting, let alone a crossbowman. It all takes time.

Dispersed and rapid advance is a good way to deal with crossbowmen and gunmen, and the lethality of these two weapons is not high. In the dark night, attackers can't tell whether the fallen comrades are injured or dead. Judging by past combat experience.

These attackers, whom Ivan called "Jungers", were all dressed in uniform. They were wearing protective equipment similar to tactical vests, and inside were thick snow-proof winter clothing. Their entire faces were covered by cloth and wide sunglasses. You can't see your face, and you are dressed like this to avoid being recognized by the infected and taking revenge.

Their weapons are all kinds of blunt weapons. Of course, the hunters are not infected, so they can't release spells without relying on staffs. They are obviously experienced in besieging a person with three or five people and facing Xia Lin They come.

Trying to separate the four of Xia Lin, and then use the trees and darkness as a cover to go around and attack the three long-range snipers. As the only heavy equipment, Ivan was attacked by the long-range forces of the attackers, and fireballs and electric currents continued to flow towards him. He flew, but was blocked by the shield of unknown material.

"Da da da!" Facing the oncoming attacker, Xia Lin quickly shot down the target in three bursts and pointed the gun at the next one. The physical fitness of human beings in this world is very amazing, and the distance of more than [-] meters is almost It's here in an instant.

"Bang!" The assailant who was jumping towards Xia Lin from the side tilted suddenly, fell to the ground and did not move, and the other one was less than 5 meters away from the carriage. Yelena decisively let go of the shotgun in her hand, Regardless of the crossbowman's expression as if he had seen a ghost, he drew another weapon from under his clothes and fired at a distance close to the opponent's face.

"Bang!" The double-barreled shotgun made a thunderous noise, which was used to make a beast like a bear pounce on its face at close range. The deadly heavy-duty electric bomb almost knocked out half of the opponent's head, and only the black Huge debris and liquid splashed in the faint light.

The impact threw the body away, and the recoil also made Yelena unable to maintain her posture and rolled backward among the sundries in the carriage. She quickly opened the chamber of the gun, and put the two new shotguns hanging on the side magazine of the gun Tuck it in, "Bang!"

"Boom" The second attacker who jumped at her hit the car floor with a high-raised weapon, and instantly a deformed dent appeared next to Yelena's ear, and then the heavy corpse fell on her, It made her almost breathless.
