Chapter 111: Nata and Li Lingfeng
The old beam gun was pointed against the back of the boy's head, and a hoarse voice sounded behind him.
"Hand it over, or I'm sure God will gladly summon you."
The emaciated boy trembled as if he was in the cold wind of winter, holding the package in his arms, and the strong sense of fear made him curl up on the ground, and his godless eyes looked at the man with the gun in front of him in horror.
The man, like the teenager, was equally thin, dressed in tattered clothes full of potholes and emitting a disgusting smell. Unlike the boy, he had a hideous and ecstatic expression on his face, and his greedy gaze swept over the burden in the boy's hand from time to time.
"No, you can't snatch it, you can't ...... Can't ......"
Because of fear, the boy's voice was intermittent, full of fear and fear.
The wind mixed with sand and gravel blew through the rotten village, and the sand and gravel hit the faces of the two of them, and no one dodged, and under the threat of life and death, the pain caused by the sand and cold wind could be ignored.
"Looks like you really want to die."
The man screamed hoarsely, like the sound of metal grinding, enough to make people's teeth sore. He held an old beam gun in both hands, the muzzle of which was looking for a landing on the boy's head. Under the threat of death, the young man's sallow face had turned pale, and his eyes were full of despair.
"I really don't want to waste energy...... the man licked his lips, and his eyes fell on the burden in the young man's arms: "This bag of ore is enough to exchange for three months' food, and it's still very drawn." Boy, I'm giving you one last chance, I don't want to waste energy. ”
The boy clutched the burden on his chest, his desperate gaze falling on the decaying village in the distance. It took him a week to retrieve this bag of ore from the valley outside the village. In a few days, a caravan would arrive in exchange for enough food for him and his mother for three months. If you lose this bag of ore, let alone three months, no more than a week, you and your mother will die of hunger.
He never imagined that his adventure in the Desperate Valley would be known to the village chief. The village chief, who used to be a pirate and later ran back as a deserter, relied on this beam gun in his hand to occupy the village and do all kinds of evil.
The boy knew very well that if he didn't hand over these ores today, he would definitely die. But if I hand it over, I and my mother won't be able to survive for even a week. His own body is not allowed to enter the valley again. It was full of strange energy, and even if a strong man of the fifth level of martial arts went in for a week, he would become extremely weak, and without a month or two of cultivation, he would not be able to recover at all.
And himself, fortunately, when he was eleven years old, he got a book called "Fitness Technique" from the caravan guy he befriended, and secretly cultivated for two years according to the above records, and now he only has a fourth-level cultivation. Gritting his teeth and staring at the village chief, the young man secretly hated himself, he knew that this was the case, he should have killed the village chief before leaving. It's a pity that now, he has just come out of the Absolute Valley, and his body is extremely weak, and he can't even beat ordinary people who haven't cultivated, let alone the village chief who has a third-level martial arts cultivation.
"Kid still doesn't give up? Lao Tzu will send you to God! ”
The man clutched the handle of the gun and shouted angrily, and just as he was about to shoot the unknown guy, there was a sudden whistling sound in the sky, which made him look up at the sky.
"Machine...... Mecha! Damn, how could such a broken ravine have mecha appear. Are you here to get me? The man looked at the approaching metal giant in the sky in a panic, and his heart was flustered, so he left the boy without hesitation and ran away.
The boy who escaped the disaster got up from the ground, stared at the approaching object in the sky, and muttered, "Is that a mecha......
Having lived in this dilapidated village all his life, the only modern means of transportation the boy had ever seen was the huge hovercart full of supplies that the caravan drove when it came. The mecha was just something that was mentioned when the caravan guys were chatting with him. It is said that as long as you drive a mecha, you can easily smash this village with one kick, bombard the hills outside the village with one punch, and destroy more than a dozen hovercars with a single shot.
Only in a dream would the emaciated boy imagine a towering giant, wielding a giant fist of steel and smashing the hateful village chief into pulp.
"This ...... Is it a mecha? ”
The long-term dream made him forget his fear, forget his fear, forget his hunger, and forget to dodge. He stood there stunned, watching the beautiful blue mecha land in front of him, with a majestic and majestic body, several times taller than the two-story building of the village chief. The soles of his feet are taller than his own house.
"Sneer......"
After a burst of air pressure release, several azure mechs landed in front of him, and dozens more flew in the direction of the village.
The hatch of the mecha opened, and the pilot, who was dressed in beautiful and neat clothes, walked out of it, turned over and jumped down, and at a height of more than ten meters, he only supported the waist of the mecha, and landed in front of him lightly like a goshawk.
"What a beautiful brother......"
The driver took off his military hat from his head, his thick black hair fluttering in the wind, and his fair and handsome face was like the characters called the light brains that the caravan guys showed him. Seeing the beautiful man walking towards him, the strong sense of inferiority made the young man's face turn red and he lowered his head timidly.
"It's really windy...... Hey, kid, is this Mozantas? ”
When the young man heard the other party's inquiry, he couldn't help but hug his burden tighter, raised his head slightly, and whispered "um".
At this time, several other mechs landed, and several strong men wearing the same clothes walked over.
"I said Li Tou, why are we landing here? Bah, the wind here is really strong enough, and it's all sand, Bah......" As soon as a strong man opened his mouth, he was filled with a mouth full of sand grains.
The young man known as "Li Tou" looked at the young man in front of him who was dressed in tatters and had a dirty face that he couldn't see clearly, but he had a pair of beautiful blue eyes, and said with a smile: "I seem to have seen someone trying to kill you just now, can you tell me what's going on?" ”
"Ha, it turns out that Li Tou is here to save people, no wonder he landed here."
"Hehe, I didn't expect Li Tou, who was so murderous, to think about saving people. This should be known by those pirates, and they will not be laughed to death. ”
Several strong men covered their mouths and smiled, but they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, for fear of being poured a mouthful of sand like the strong man before.
"To kill is to kill, and to save is to save people. Kill those who deserve to be killed, save those who deserve to be saved. For the enemy, I, Li Lingfeng, will never show mercy to my subordinates. These are just ordinary people, their lives are hard enough, and the one who can save the next one is one. ”
Li Lingfeng ......" The young man looked at the young man in front of him, and a fire gradually ignited in his eyes. Suddenly, he only felt a loosening in his arms, and the burden he was holding tightly was unknowingly taken away by the one named Li Lingfeng.
"You...... Give it back! The young man couldn't care about any life-saving benefactor anymore, and frantically threw himself at Li Lingfeng. Perhaps, in his eyes, he only knew what was in that baggage, so that he and his mother would not starve for three months.
Li Lingfeng had a faint smile on his face, and with just a slight push, the young man flew out as if he had been hit hard.
Slightly stunned, Li Lingfeng was puzzled: "This kid is too unbeaten, even if he hasn't practiced martial arts, he can't be pushed so far by himself, fortunately, he didn't ...... heavy-handed" Then, he raised his voice and said: "Hey, child, are you your life-saver like this?" ”
The young man got up from the ground in pain, his eyes flashed with wolf-like ferocity, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and roared and threw himself at Li Lingfeng.
"Hey......" Li Lingfeng stretched out a hand to hold him down, and casually threw the burden to the strong man behind him: "Don't worry, child, I just want to see what it is, which will cause others to kill you." I, Li Lingfeng, don't have the habit of robbing other people's things. ”
When the young man heard this, he gradually quieted down, but his eyes did not leave the burden.
The baggage was opened, and in a rag there were four or five stones, large and small, wrapped. The dark green rock surface is dotted with red and yellow spots, sometimes lit up, sometimes dimmed. Seeing these stones, several strong men gasped in unison, and the hands holding the stones trembled slightly.
"Star Ink Stone is indeed produced here. Fortunately, that guy has been hoarding, and the news has not been disseminated, probably because he wants to accumulate a large number of them to sell them in other countries at a high price, but I didn't expect to be cheaper than us. Li Lingfeng took a stone, looked at it carefully, and then smiled at the young man: "Child, do you know what this stone can be exchanged for?" ”
The young man snatched the stone from Li Lingfeng's hand, held it in his arms, and looked at Li Lingfeng with a somewhat unkind gaze: "Mine, this is all mine." With these few pieces of ore, I can exchange food for three months so that Eminem and I won't go hungry. ”
"Three months of food?" Li Lingfeng shouted in surprise, then let out a burst of laughter, stood up and pointed to a few mechs behind him, "Do you know what that is?"
"Yes, it's a mech." Looking at the five azure mechas, a flash of envy flashed in the young man's eyes.
Li Lingfeng smiled: "I didn't expect you to have a little knowledge." Let me tell you, such a star stone is enough to exchange for ten such mechas. I didn't expect that such a valuable thing could only be exchanged for a few dozen gold dollars of food here......"
"What...... The young man looked at the shining stone in his hand blankly, and suddenly raised his head: "That...... I'll give you all these ores, can you give me a mech? ”
"Oh?" Li Lingfeng didn't expect that this young man would propose this deal, and said with a smile: "Let's not say that I don't agree to the exchange, even if I change it back, will you drive the mecha?" And as you just said, these ores are used for food, and the mecha can't be eaten, do you plan to starve to death by guarding this mecha? ”
"This ......" The young man hesitated a little, only thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "You also said that such a piece of ore can be exchanged for ten mechas." I'm not greedy, I'll give you all these ores, and I don't want you to give me mechs. But you have to take me away and find someone to teach me how to fly a mech, I'll ...... I can work for you! You can do anything! ”
Li Lingfeng laughed and said: "With your small body, I can make you fly out more than ten meters with a light touch, what do you want?" ”
"It's not like that!" The young man said stubbornly: "If I hadn't been for the mining stones, I wouldn't be so weak at all." My martial arts have reached the fourth level! ”
"Level four?" Li Lingfeng became a little interested. Since the pirate group occupied these three planets in one fell swoop with the help of the great warlord three days ago, they planned to use these three planets as the pirate group's future military base. If you want to become a shipfighter on a battleship, you must break through the hurdle of the third level of martial arts. As long as there is a fourth level or above, and the age is not more than forty years old, they can be trained to become ship operators. And the best of them can be trained as mecha warriors and fighter pilots.
After occupying the three planets, Hong Tie sent Xiahou Undefeated, Li Lingfeng and Xiao Hua to be stationed on the three planets to maintain law and order according to Yunyi's arrangement, and strive to stabilize the order on the planet in the shortest possible time and develop slowly. To this end, the blue sky side has also organized a management team of nearly 10,000 people, which is in intensive training. When the training is over, they will be sent to receive the three planets.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that when I was checking the private property of the warlords who had originally notified these three planets, I accidentally found a large number of star graphite reserves. Although the price of this rare ore is not as high as that of Eclipse Yaojin and Yingluo Crystal, it is also very high. This discovery surprised Hong Tie's people, and after careful investigation and interrogation, they learned that they were all purchased from the small village of Mosantas. As a result, Li Lingfeng, who was in charge of this planet, was sent to see if there were ore veins and whether there was value in development.
Knowing that the boy in front of him, who looked thin and weak, and who looked no more than eleven or twelve years old because of long-term malnutrition, actually had a fourth-level cultivation, Li Lingfeng couldn't help but be happy, it seems that this young man's talent is also quite good, if he cultivates it well, it won't take a few years to replenish it to his mecha team.
However, the boy's words caused him to wonder.
"You're saying that you've been weakened like this because you've gone to mine rocks?"
The young man nodded a little aggrieved and said, "It's called the Absolute Valley, and people like me can only stay for a week at most, and then it will take at least two months to recover slowly." ”
Li Lingfeng glanced at a few people behind him, and one of them said, "Li Tou, if you don't guess wrong, that desperate valley should be full of tincture lanthanum composite rays." ”
"Tincture lanthanum composite rays?" Li Lingfeng frowned slightly, and said, "Isn't this kind of ray only available in wormholes?" Why is there also here? Could it be that there are wormholes on the surface of the planet? ”
Decades after humans just stepped out of the earth, humans discovered the first wormhole. After entering and successfully returning after the unmanned spacecraft, humans were very excited and thought that this was an opportunity for the great development of the universe, and then sent a manned spacecraft. However, after the spacecraft returned automatically, it was found that all the crew members inside had died of muscle atrophy and organ failure. After years of exploration and research, it was learned that the wormhole can release a kind of radiation called tincture-lanthanum composite rays, which is very harmful to the human body. After more than ten years, it was known that a substance that could resist this kind of radiation was developed and added to the spaceship, so that humans could travel through the wormhole unharmed.
But to this day, no one has said that tincture lanthanum composite rays can exist anywhere else except wormholes.
Li Lingfeng pondered for a while, and then said: "This matter can't be decided too early, what kind of substance it is, we must know it after detailed research." However, this matter, including the matter of Xing Moshi, must be kept strictly secret, and everyone knows the consequences of leaking, and I don't want to mention it again. ”
"Li Tou, don't worry, the brothers still know the severity. But if there's radiation there, do we need to investigate? One of the fighters asked with a smile.
Li Lingfeng shook his head and said, "I don't know if this ray will cause sequelae, so don't go." Someone sent someone back to seal it off and forbade anyone from entering. ”
After explaining the matter, Li Lingfeng looked at the young man and wanted to pat him on the head, but he easily avoided him, couldn't help but smile, and said, "Kid, don't you want to learn mecha driving with me?" If you don't treat me well, how can you make me promise you? ”
The young man is not stupid, his eyes quickly lit up when he heard this, and he quickly re-wrapped those star ink stones and sent them to Li Lingfeng, and said earnestly: "Master, please accept these ores with a smile......
Li Lingfeng laughed, and as a result, Xingmo Stone casually threw it to the warrior behind him: "I only said to teach you the operation of the mecha, but I didn't say that you should be your master." Child, what's your name, and who else is in the house, won't you take me to see it? ”
"I'm not a child, my name is Nata." The young man's face was still a little stubborn: "I still have a mother at home, Master, are you going to my house as a guest?" ”
"By the way, I'm not your master." Li Lingfeng gave him a blank look: "I'm not such a dirty apprentice." But the village still has to go, let's go, let's go and have a look. ”
"In our place, we can't even afford to drink water, where is the water to take a bath." Nata didn't seem to care, muttered a few words, and ran towards the village with a few people.
Ten mechs had already flown towards the village, surrounding the entire village. There are about 40 households in the whole village, and there are more than 100 people and less than 200 people. Suddenly, they saw some tall steel giants surrounding the village, and they were so frightened that they got into the house and didn't dare to make a sound. Only some daring children took advantage of the lack of attention from their families and rushed to the feet of the mecha, climbing up and down.
As the so-called ignorant are meaningless, if these five or six-year-old children understood that these giants only need to move lightly to crush them into flesh, I don't know if they dare to crawl like this.
Some adults do understand what these things are, and although they have not seen them, they have more or less heard of them. One by one, they hid at home and were uneasy, not knowing what was going on.
Not long after, Li Lingfeng and the others returned to the village under the leadership of Nata. In the far corner of the village, a low, low, and leaky hut is Nata's home, and since his father died and his mother became seriously ill, the family had no income and was struggling to make ends meet. Later, after Nata got the "Fitness Technique" and practiced martial arts to the third level, he dared to venture to the Desperate Valley to mine stones, which made the family's life better.
After sitting in Nata's house for a few minutes, Li Lingfeng couldn't stand the rotten smell inside and returned to the mecha. In order to keep it secret, he ordered an atmospheric spacecraft to come over and pick up all the people in the village. The entire village was destroyed with mechs, and after the hurricane blew, there was no trace of human life here. Similarly, the other two villages closest to the Absolute Valley were picked up by the spaceship. These people will be placed in a tight place, and although they have lost their freedom, their lives will be countless times better than before.
And the village chief who fled, there was no village within thousands of miles, and what awaited him was to turn into a pile of white bones in the wind.
******
"Master, is this a battleship? Oh my God, it's bigger than our whole village......"
After bringing Nata back to the battleship, along the way, Li Lingfeng had heard this exclamation no less than ten times. After taking him to the room next to him, Li Lingfeng said, "Hmph, I didn't say that you are your master. In the future, this room will be yours, this is the bathroom, wash yourself first, and then say, this dress will be thrown away later, and there is an adjustable military uniform in the closet......"
After teaching Nata how to use these things, Li Lingfeng went back to his room, and before leaving, he said, "I live next door to you, come to me after washing." ”
After returning to the room, Li Lingfeng turned on the communicator and reported the incident to Hong Tie. However, how to develop and study that valley must be carefully discussed, and even some research experts and equipment need to be coordinated by Blue Sky from the Cologne Business Alliance.
"Ding-dong......"
When the doorbell rang, Li Lingfeng smiled slightly, guessing that it was the child he picked up, and opened the door casually. But the person in front of him surprised him and was extremely stunned.
"You...... You...... Are you Nata? ”
Outside the door, a young girl wearing a small military uniform pulled her clothes uncomfortably. A soft chestnut hair was scattered behind his head, his honey-colored skin exuded a radiant glow, and a pair of blue sapphire-like eyes looked at him shyly, and stammered: "Master...... Master, my name is actually Natasha......"
