Chapter 526: Freedom City
Translator: 549690339
After learning that li xiaonian wasn’t an Evolver, Fei Mengjia, Yao an, and Li Hu’s hearts skipped a beat.
‘Damn it, this damn bastard. I really want to slap him to death.’ He had originally thought that he was a top-notch expert, but who would have thought that he was just for show?
!!
Sensing the unfriendly gazes from the three, li xiaonian boasted appropriately, ” if you’re not happy, then say it. Don’t think that I’m just a gunman. In fact, I’m also an arms dealer. I have the channels to buy large quantities of weapons and bullets.
It was a precautionary measure, in preparation for the mass production of firearms in the future. Once he gathered the pig iron, bronze, and gunpowder, he could mass-produce equipment to prevent people from being too curious and investigating and tracking him.
“Oh?”
Fey Mengjia’s face was full of doubt. the entire abandoned planet, the most high-end industry and food are controlled by the law-enforcement officers. Are you sure you can get a large number of weapons? ”
“Of course, I never lie.” Li xiaonian replied with a straight face, neither blushing nor beating heart.
Fei Mengjia looked at li xiaonian quietly. After making sure that it was true, she nodded and said, ” very good. If you have this ability, the benefits you’ll receive when you join the free zone will be higher. If you can get your hands on the laser gun’s energy-replenishing equipment, I can guarantee that in the future, as long as you don’t do anything outrageous in the free zone, you won’t have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life.
Li xiaonian hurriedly shook his head. you’re overestimating me. The law-enforcement officers are so strict with such high-end equipment. Who would dare to sell it to me? ”
what a joke. I was talking about cheap firearms, but you’re talking about high-end technology. A high-end charging device requires countless raw materials. On this planet where resources are exhausted and there are no raw materials, how can it be produced?
“……”
“……”
Li zhedong and Lu Qianhui looked at their big brother running his mouth, and their faces turned red. They tried not to let their expressions change too much, so as not to see their big brother’s lie exposed.
Arms dealer? Why don’t you say you’re a scientist? Was this big brother who was full of lies still the Big Brother they knew? Or perhaps … This was his brother’s true face. It was because of his thick skin that he was able to earn enough divine primes time and time again in Black Mountain ditch to support the two of them.
The free survival Zone was further away than li xiaonian had imagined.
The six of them walked for two days and two nights in the vast sea of garbage before they saw a touch of green.
That’s right, they were green trees. Although they were sparse, they were genuine plants.
It was Lu Qianhui’s first time seeing a green tree with her own eyes. She was overjoyed. sister, are those the trees that appeared in the video? ”
“Yeah.” Fei Mengjia nodded.
“Can I touch it? are there a lot of trees? How many are there?” Lu Qianhui was like a curious child as she threw out questions after questions.
“Some places have more, some have less.” As she spoke, Fey Mengjia sighed and looked up at the sky, ” however, no matter how many trees there are, they can’t withstand the turbulence. The garbage in the universe is pouring into our planet. According to the current calculation, in thirty years at most, the planet will be completely covered by garbage. There will be no plants, the oxygen in the air will be reduced, and the air composition will change greatly. At that time … Our planet will become a dead planet. All of us humans, no matter how tenacious our vitality is, will face the harsh climate and environment. I’ll die sooner or later.”
“……”
“……”
Lu Qianhui and Li zhedong, who were originally full of joy, suddenly became very depressed because of this news.
Li xiaonian, on the other hand, chose to remain silent.
If they wanted to escape this planet, they would need a spaceship. Even if they obtained enough knowledge from the sea of garbage, without the raw materials and technological Foundation, it was impossible to build one.
In other words, the only way to survive was to snatch a spaceship. However … If the spaceship didn’t land on the ground and directly tilted the garbage at high altitude, the humans below wouldn’t be able to touch it, let alone snatch it.
Furthermore, even if they could board the spaceship, the guards and technological weapons in the spaceship would definitely not be weak.
The topic was too heavy, so the six of them chose to remain silent.
Creak ~ creak ~
This was the first time Lu Qianhui had stepped on muddy ground. Her depressed mood was swept away. so … This is the feeling of stepping on the ground. This feeling is so solid and stable.
“I had the same feeling the first time.” Fei Mengjia smiled and pointed to the front. keep going forward for ten kilometers and you will reach our living area. We have planted all kinds of crops there. When you have the chance to taste fresh potatoes, you will know what delicious food is.
Li xiaonian looked in the direction that Fei Mengjia was pointing at, and then looked at the sea of garbage behind him. “The law enforcers of the abandoned planet can let everyone live here safely?”
“Hmph,” he snorted.
“How is that possible?” Yao an snorted coldly.”You’re too naive.” The reason why we can live in the free area is not because of pity, but because we killed our way through.” As he spoke, Yao an said arrogantly, ” previously, there were many law-enforcement officers who attacked our area. However, we managed to kill them all. The number of law-enforcement officers who died at my hands is at least 30 to 50 people if not 100.
Li hu sighed. don’t brag. We did kill dozens to hundreds of law-enforcement officers, but our casualties are tens to hundreds of times that of the law-enforcement officers. What’s there to be proud of for a reputation built on human heads? ”
Yao an shrugged. they’re just law-enforcement officers. As long as they dare to come, I’ll fight them. We all have one head and two eyes, so who’s afraid of who? at the worst, I’ll just die. If you want me to return to my slave life, I’d rather die than live that kind of life again.
Then, Yao an looked at li xiaonian. kid, if you’re afraid of death, then work hard in the logistics department and contribute to our survival area. If you’re not afraid of death, as long as you pass the assessment, I’ll be magnanimous and consider letting you join our battle team. It’s not an exaggeration to say that there are at least a few hundred people who wanted to join our three-man battle team, but we rejected them all.”
After two days of interaction, Yao an still looked down on li xiaonian. However, she had to admit that li xiaonian’s marksmanship was really accurate. It wasn’t an exaggeration to call him a sharpshooter. With such a long-range expert joining the team, the overall strength of the team would at least be raised to a new level.
The only shortcoming was that the energy supply of the laser gun was very expensive, and the overall expenses of the team would increase. The power of the laser gun was great, and there was a reason why it was expensive. The premise was that the marksman had to be accurate. Otherwise, the waste caused would be unbearable for any team.
Ten kilometers.
As soon as li xiaonian and the others saw the free zone from a distance, a drone immediately hovered above li xiaonian. The camera scanned Fei Mengjia and the other two, then scanned li xiaonian and his two siblings.
Fey Mengjia was the first to speak. inspector, these three people are passers-by we brought back from the abandoned area. After my initial verification, the three of them are people who left the management of the abandoned area and yearn for freedom. In the risk assessment, my evaluation is slight risk.
The drone’s horn let out a deep voice, ” stranger, Welcome to Freedom City. Although fermengjia has given you a preliminary evaluation, you will still need to undergo further inspection. Please cooperate.
“Of course, of course,” li xiaonian nodded repeatedly.
A moment later, three soldiers in gray armor appeared and brought li xiaonian and his siblings to a small building on the outskirts of the area.
The three siblings were asked separately. The questions were simple,’where did you come from’,’ how strong are you’, ‘what’s your name’,’ what special abilities do you have’, and so on.
The question seemed simple, but any lie could be easily seen through by the inspectors, especially when the walls were surrounded by all kinds of guns and experts.
When li xiaonian was asked for his name, he was a little nervous. He was afraid that his identity as the possessor would be exposed, so he could only brace himself and say, ” I have two names. One is Li Xiao le, and the other is li xiaonian. The former is my public name, and the latter is the name I use when I wear a mask and go out.
Fortunately, the examiner did not say anything and just nodded his head slightly.
After a round of inspection, li xiaonian finally received an identity card and a green card. His younger brother and sister only had a name card and no card.
At the exit, Fei Mengjia, Yao an, and Li hu saw li xiaonian and his sister and immediately went up to them. “How was it? did you get a blue card?”
Li xiaonian took out a green card. it’s not blue. It’s Green. What’s the use of this card? ”
Fei Mengjia, Yao an, and Li Hu’s faces turned black.
Yao an’s lips twitched. I thought you were a talent. I didn’t expect you to only be a second-level personnel.
Fei Mengjia sighed, ” our area is not called the free area. To be precise, it is called ‘Freedom City’. Here, according to the talent ranking, ordinary people do not have a card. Only elites can obtain one. The green card allows you to get a 10% discount when shopping in Freedom City. Of course, this card can only be used by you. Li zhedong and Lu Qianhui do not have this preferential policy, so don’t even think about helping them buy food or other items. This is because this place is very strict. Once you are found cheating, you can’t buy anything for them. Your discount card will be canceled, and in serious cases, you will be sentenced to death for misusing public property.”
of course, if your contribution points are high enough, this card can be upgraded. The next level is the blue card, and above that are the purple and gold. You can use this card as a symbol of status.
Li xiaonian nodded. a 10% discount. It’s not a small amount. I’m quite satisfied.
It was just money. As long as he had pig iron, he could mass-produce H5 pistols. By then, he would not be afraid of not having money.
After a short pause, li xiaonian asked,”the three of us are considered newbies. Is there a house we can live in for free?”
“Free of charge? Hehe.”
Yao an sneered. of course there are free houses. It’s just that there are only four walls. If you want to live in a good house, you’ll have to accumulate your own merits. After saying that, Yao an glanced at the dried Black Panther corpse beside li xiaonian. “If you’re willing to sell this Black Panther, I can offer you 300 contribution points. I can guarantee that this price is definitely higher than the market price. If you sell it in the market, no one will offer a higher price than me.”
Li xiaonian hurriedly shook his head. I’m not selling it. I’m not selling it. I’ll keep it for myself.
What a joke, it wasn’t easy for him to improve his food, how could he sell the Black Panther so easily?
Under Fei Mengjia’s lead, li xiaonian and his two siblings finally entered Freedom City.
The population in Freedom City was quite dense. Although they were also dressed in rags, their appearance and spirit were on a completely different level compared to the people in the garbage area.
Here, everyone’s face was brimming with a happy smile, even if their faces were yellow and their muscles were muscular, there was no sign of decadence between their brows.
The planning of the area was based on the star Ray mentality. In the center was an important research Institute and a Machinery Factory. There was a tall tower inside. The tower was just a simple iron frame with some monitoring equipment hanging on it.
Under Fei Mengjia’s guidance, li xiaonian passed through many simple buildings and came to an empty area.
here, this is the market. You can buy anything you need here. If you want to buy rare resources or guns, you need to go to the designated official store and register before you can buy them. Your premium card won’t work in the market, so there’s no discount. You can only get a discount in the official store.”
Seeing the fresh vegetables, li xiaonian couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. He wanted to buy them, but he didn’t have the money right now, so he could only give up on this unrealistic idea.
Suddenly, li xiaonian thought of something and said awkwardly, Sister Mengjia, you see … We are so familiar with each other, can you lend me some merit points first? ”
Fei Mengjia rolled her eyes at li xiaonian, then looked at the dried Black Panther meat in his hand. Her attitude was obvious. If he didn’t have the money, he could just sell this thing.
The corner of li xiaonian’s mouth twitched. no, I have to give this little black Panther meat to my younger brother and sister to nourish their bodies. Look … They’re all so thin and weak.
“……”
“……”
Li zhedong and Lu Qianhui looked at themselves.
Was he thin and weak? During this period, he had been eating meat every day, and there was no limit to how much he could eat. He could eat as much as he wanted. He had been eating and sleeping in the open during this period of time, but it was much better than before. His face had begun to gain weight.
“Hehe.” Fei Mengjia ignored li xiaonian’s words. let’s go. I’ll take you to your assigned house.
After walking for about ten minutes, li xiaonian arrived at the edge of Freedom City. There were rows of newly built houses.
Fei Mengjia pointed at the house number 3547. this will be your residence from now on. If you want to change to a better house, you’ll have to spend money. The houses here aren’t expensive. You can change into a better room with 1000 merit points.
House 3547.
He pushed the door open and entered. The house was very small. It had one room and one living room. The roof was made of all kinds of abandoned boards and had many holes. The same went for the walls. This kind of living environment was not much different from living in the wild once it was night time.
“Thank you,” he said. Li xiaonian thanked him.
The three siblings did not have a strong need for a house. Living here was much better than living in area SC125.
