Chapter 001 During Transportation

On the hot yellow sand, an armored jeep was moving quickly towards the south.

The black rubber tires kept rolling on the sand, and white smoke soon came out.

This armored jeep is twice as long as an ordinary jeep and is covered with five-millimeter-thick armor plates.

Because of its excellent armor and large carrying capacity, it sometimes also serves as a transport vehicle.

Belongs to the fast transport vehicle series.

There are only two seats in the cab, the driver and the co-driver.

Sitting in the driver's seat was a white-bearded veteran wearing a suit of armor made of ceramic, which included a helmet, chest armor, back armor, shoulder pads, elbow pads, knee pads and panniers.

This type of ceramic armor is the most common armor among soldiers in the Zhulong District. It has very good defensive capabilities and can withstand small and medium caliber bullets.

At the same time, there is a goggles on his helmet, which can effectively protect his eyes from being burned by the sun's rays.

The veteran soldier held the steering wheel with ease and said to the new soldier next to him who was wearing the same uniform with a smile:

"Luo Xiu, this is your first mission, right? How many years have you been a reserve soldier?"

Sitting in the passenger seat was a young man, a native of Zhulong District.

He withdrew his gaze from the yellow sand outside and responded.

"Yeah, for the first time, I have been a reserve soldier in the Zhulong main area for three years."

"Oh, so you are only 21 years old." The old soldier did some calculations in his mind.

"It's your first time coming out of the city, right? Are you getting used to it? Is it different from what you saw on TV?"

For Luo Xiu, who lives in the urban area, this outing is indeed a rare experience.

"Yes, the sun is hotter than in the city."

Luo Xiu replied casually, his mind focused on the light screen in front of him that only he could see.

There is a rotating holographic image of him and a line of subtitles on it.

[Luo Xiu: New Soldier]

[Level: F-Normal]

[Strength: 8]

[Speed: 6]

[Spirit: 5]

【Condition: Good】

[Skills: None]

[Merit Points: 0]

[Contribution points: 3200 points]

"For a tough veteran, his strength and speed should be close to 10. I think my attributes are pretty good."

"Contribution points are the currency of the past, and merit points are the calculation unit for military soldiers to upgrade their ranks."

"I didn't expect that even these personal information terminals could capture. What on earth are you?"

be the Goldfinger who came with me from the past ?"

Luo Xiu was recalling his past. He had been living a happy life in a region that called itself a country, but he was inexplicably reborn in the year 9099, just a few days ago.

Came to this future world, a world that was almost completely destroyed by war.

Fortunately, the war ended three years ago, and the invading alien forces withdrew after suffering heavy losses. Now is the time for the world to recover.

Hearing this, the veteran smiled and said, "Yeah, not only is it hotter outside, but those monsters are also very enthusiastic."

Then he said in a deep voice , " Check your equipment. You never know when you might encounter them."

Luo Xiu nodded vigorously, he didn't dare to be negligent.

Because of the legacy of the war, not only were most of the human settlements devastated and turned into deserts, but there were also war weapons left over.

And they will be the biggest obstacle to human recovery.

Luo Xiu first checked the main weapon in his hand, a blade-type assault rifle.

It is very heavy, has strong recoil, is powerful, has a rotating bayonet at the front, and has a capacity of 30 rounds.

This assault rifle has excellent performance and can be sold for up to 30,000 contribution points on the urban black market.

Next is a Black Hawk pistol at his waist, loaded with 14 rounds, with considerable power.

It ranks at the top of the pistol rankings.

Of course, this is a ranking of gunpowder weapons, and stronger weapons above will be energy weapons.

"Everything is good and ready to shoot."

Luo Xiu adjusted his weapon and looked toward the wasteland outside with caution.

The original Zhulong District was an area of the Iron World, but in just 30 years of war, most of it was turned into ruins and wasteland.

At present, except for the relatively intact area called the Zhulong main area, it is a blessing to have a habitable place in other places.

At this moment, a series of explosions suddenly sounded, and the armored jeep tilted to the left and tilted to the front left.

Seeing that he was about to fall into a big pit, the veteran Uncle Kuyan quickly stepped on the brakes.

The armored jeep finally stopped after sliding about ten meters, and it was only three centimeters away from the big pit in front of it.

"It's so unfortunate. At least three of our tires burst." Uncle Kuyan slammed the steering wheel. "Damn the sun."

The scorching sand became scorching hot under the sun, and three of the four rubber tires on one side of the armored jeep burst.

Obviously, the other five have almost reached their limit and must be replaced.

"Luo Xiu, you take care of the alert while I go to fix the car. I hope we don't encounter anything during this period of time."

Uncle Kuyan jumped out of the car and found the jack, spare tire, and air pump from the back compartment.

Luo Xiu jumped onto the roof of the car and looked around. Although this might cause some trouble to Uncle Ku Yan, it was more important to detect the enemy early.

The armored jeep was lifted up and the screws on the wheels were unscrewed one by one with a wrench.

Next, the old tire is removed and the new tire is installed.

Uncle Kuyan's movements were very quick. He changed three without a break.

He looked at the other worn tires and was a little confused about whether to replace them.

He looked up at Luo Xiu who was still investigating, "Did you find anything?"

"No." Luo Xiu glanced around and found no movement.

Uncle Kuyan wiped the sweat from his forehead, thought about it, and decided to change it.

If you encounter trouble on the way and your tire bursts again, it will be life-threatening.

Soon, the worn tires were removed and Uncle Kuyan went to the car to look for new tires.

At this moment, Luo Xiu narrowed his eyes. On the distant horizon, two small black dots were approaching rapidly.

"Something is approaching from the northwest." Luo Xiu quickly shouted to the person under the car.

Uncle Kuyan was startled and quickly put down what he was holding. He walked to the front of the car with a gun and looked in the direction Luo Xiu pointed.

Two small black dots have already revealed their shapes.

"It's a bloodhound." Uncle Ku Yan cursed inwardly. He quickly looked around. "They live in groups. There can't be just two of them. There must be many more nearby observing us."

"They are very smart. These two are probably here to scout our firepower."

"We should fight them off first. Don't worry about the ammunition consumption. We should scare them off even if it means scaring them off."

"good."

Luo Xuan quickly half-crouched down to keep the assault rifle in his hand steady while firing continuously.

The bloodhound in front of him was completely black, covered with fish-scale-like scales, and extremely hard.

They were emaciated, like vicious dogs that had not eaten for more than ten days, and were just bones covered with skin.

Its canine teeth are protruding, its mouth is bared, its nose is hollow, but it has a well-developed sense of smell, and its eyes are blood red, which allows it to have night vision.

Their tails are slender, about two meters long, 1.5 times longer than their bodies, and as hard as a whip, with a palm-sized curved sickle hook at the end.

The claws on the front of its limbs are as deadly as the sickle hooks.

As soon as they appeared, they rushed towards the armored jeep at the speed of a motorcycle.

No probing, no observation, no hesitation, just forceful attack.

In other words, they themselves are bait for temptation.

The distance between the two sides soon approached 200 meters, which was the maximum distance that Uncle Kuyan could accept.

He lay on the front of the car, half bent over, and suddenly shouted , " Fire."

The next second, deep gunshots rang out, and strings of light bullets fell beside the two blood hounds.

The sand splashed up and they hopped left and right, dodging while continuing to move forward.

Soon, the bullets lifted the scales off their bodies, revealing the skin and bones underneath.

As the distance between the two sides got closer, the shooting accuracy of Luo Xiu and his companions became higher.

Under the intensive shooting, a bloodhound's eye was hit on the spot and exploded instantly.

The bullet penetrated its forehead and opened its skull.

The other eye saw that the situation was not good, jumped left and right, turned around and ran away.

Seeing the other party leaving, Luo Xiu was about to put down the gun in his hand.

Uncle Kuyan suddenly said , " Don't stop firing, keep shooting, we need to tell them we have a lot of bullets."

Luo Xiu did not hesitate until he had used up all his bullets and the opponent had escaped from their sight. Only then did Luo Xiu stop.

This is the benefit of having veterans, their experience can help you avoid unnecessary dangers.

Uncle Kuyan put away his gun and wiped the sweat from his forehead:

"I'll continue repairing the car. You go over and carry the bloodhound's body over here. Act naturally. The more natural you act, the more scared they will be. If you're careful, they will all pounce on you."

"Understood." Luo Xiu changed the magazine, hung the gun on his body, jumped out of the car, and walked up to the bloodhound in a swagger.

I took a look at its skull, which was full of black tissue and very little blood, only about a small spoonful left.

These wild beasts are synthetic creatures created by aliens based on Earth's creatures. Not only do they have greater combat power than the original creatures, but their reproductive abilities are also very strong.

The only weakness is probably its short lifespan.

Once they become a disaster and eat up all the creatures on Earth, they will be on the road to destruction with nothing to eat.

It is obvious that this synthetic beast is not suitable for reproduction and survival on the planet, but is a veritable killing weapon.

Although the aliens have retreated, the synthetic beasts they left behind still cause great trouble to the humans on Earth.

It takes a lot of time to clean them up.

Luo Xiu bent down, grabbed the bloodhound's limbs and carried it on his back. Although they seemed to have no meat, they were extremely heavy, and their weight was comparable to that of an adult man.

There is not much meat on their bodies and it cannot be eaten, but their claws can be used as knives and the scales on their bodies can be made into slightly inferior armor.

The most valuable thing about them is the genetic code in their bodies. Urban laboratories have always had a special liking for them and have been investing in their acquisition.

There is already a result, which is the hunger tolerance potion.

A bloodhound can go on eating without drinking until all the blood, flesh and water in its body is used up.

And they can live for a long time with just a little food.

The hunger tolerance potion can reduce a person's hunger to the extreme within five days, and the person can go without food or drink during this period.

The only downside is that you will lose weight.

As a result, it has become a good weight loss drug for some women and is in short supply.

Sales were unexpectedly good.

His mind was distracted, and Luo Xiu immediately threw away the boring idea. He quickly came to the front of the car and tied the bloodhound to the wall of the car.

At this time, Uncle Ku Yan also changed the fourth tire. He quickly jumped into the driver's seat and waved to Luo Xiu and shouted:

"Hurry up and get in the car. We can't hide it from them for long. They will soon realize that there are only two of us. Let's leave now."

"coming."

After tying up the bloodhound, Luo Xiu quickly sat in the passenger seat. The moment the door closed, the armored jeep shot out like a sharp arrow.

"Phew, they have no chance." Uncle Kuyan breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the rearview mirror. In it, a dozen black spots were running towards them from a distance.

However, as the armored jeep's speed increased, the distance between the two became larger and larger.

Uncle Kuyan looked at the road ahead again with confidence and said with a smile:

"It seems that our delivery of supplies to Lisuo Town was relatively safe this time."

Luo Xiu also breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes."

He now opened the personal information terminal on his left wrist, which looked like a watch and displayed his personal information.

[Luo Xiu: New Soldier]

[Merit Points: 7]

[Contribution points: 3200 points]

Much less than his own personal holographic image attributes.

"Seven o'clock?" Luo Xiu was surprised. "That's quite a lot."

He quickly looked at the information recorded on the information terminal.

[Kill a bloodhound and gain 5 merit points]

[Support teammates to repel a bloodhound and gain 2 merit points]

The information terminal is equipped with a micro scanning system that can record nearby battle situations into the personal information system.

This is to make the soldiers' promotion more reasonable, so that they can kill the enemy more bravely.

This promotion system gained the admiration of all warriors when fighting against alien enemies.

No reason, just because it's fair, no matter who you are, timid or brave, a commoner or a playboy.

The number of merit points reflects your value in society.

Moreover, the information terminal also serves the function of payment contribution points and other life conveniences.

"It's just that times have changed. The personal information terminal that was originally distributed for free now requires 10,000 contribution points."

Luo Xiu sighed slightly, but he also understood the Main District Council's approach.

"After all, now that the large-scale war is over, factories are starting to turn to daily necessities. Personal information terminals are no longer necessary. Civilians can pay for facial collection systems, so it's understandable to restore their original prices."

Then Luo Xiu felt lucky again. He was a soldier in the urban area, and the information terminals were always issued free of charge. In addition, they were inspected once a year and replaced if there were any problems. The welfare benefits were very good.

Uncle Ku Yan also took a look out of habit, and when he saw his own achievements, he immediately smiled bitterly:

"I'm really old. My eyes can't aim well anymore. I only got 3 points."

Luo Xiu could only keep smiling. What else could he do? These merit points could not be transferred and could only be used as a benchmark for promotion in military rank.

However, once the military rank is raised, that person's benefits and authority will continue to increase.

For example, in this transportation, Uncle Kuyan was both driving and changing tires, and once the mission was over, his merit points would be much more than Luo Xiu's.

This is the benefit of a high level. With high authority, you can receive more tasks and thus gain more merit points.

Therefore, in the army, many veterans rush to do the work, while the newcomers are left with nothing to do.

All they can do is train, train, and train again.

This is also why Luo Xuan served as a reserve soldier for three years before being promoted to a regular recruit recently.

Because apart from training, he really has no other way to gain merit points.

Luo Xuan shifted his gaze from the information terminal to the front and rested his right elbow on the car window.

Just as he relaxed, several dull explosions suddenly sounded.

There are four tones in total.

"No ... " As Uncle Kuyan shouted in panic, the armored jeep suddenly tilted to the right.

"Step on the brakes." Luo Xiu shouted quickly.

Even though the vehicle lost balance, he found that Uncle Kuyan continued to step on the accelerator.

He kept turning the steering wheel back and forth, making the armored jeep move in an S-shaped trajectory on the sand.

This is a very dangerous behavior. If you are careless, the result will be a car overturn and death.

"Look behind." Uncle Kuyan smiled bitterly.

Luo Xiu immediately looked at the rearview mirror and saw a dozen black spots approaching at a very fast speed.

Those blood hounds didn't give up.

What's even more terrifying is that there is a larger bloodhound inside. Not only is it half a meter longer than its other companions, but it also has half-foot-long sickle hooks extending from its joints and spine.

There are at least 20 sickle hooks, which turns it into a blade weapon.

"This is the evolved form of the Bloodhound, the Blade Bloodhound?!"

Luo Xiu's pupils constricted.

If there is enough food, these synthetic wild beasts that serve as weapons of war can provide excess nutrients to the evolutionary genes in their bodies, making themselves more powerful.

Generally speaking, an evolved wild beast can fight against five of its unevolved forms.

There are huge changes in strength, speed and IQ.

"Luo Xiu, get on the car and fight them off. Now it's either them or us who will die. You must cheer up ... " Uncle Kuyan shouted while trying to control the balance of the car.

"Um."

Luo Xiu nodded heavily.

Although it is very dangerous to stand on the roof of the car at this time, this is not the time to be pretentious.

If they don't fight, both of them will be in danger.

Grabbing the car window frame, Luo Xiu flipped over and landed on the roof.

But the vehicle swerved back and forth, making it impossible for Luo Xiu to stand steadily. In just a second, he fell on the roof of the car.

If you can't even stand steadily, let alone shoot.

But Uncle Kuyan's voice urged him from inside the car , " Hurry up, they are getting close to the rear of our car."

Luo Xiu gritted his teeth, grabbed the chain that tied the bloodhound with his left hand, and used all his strength to barely half-kneel on the roof of the car.

Just aim a little and pull the trigger.

Suddenly the car deviated sharply again, and Luo Xiu was caught off guard and fell off the car.

"Luo Xiu ... " Uncle Ku Yan shouted anxiously from the car.

But soon, Luo Xiu's reply came from the car , " I'm fine, you keep driving."

Uncle Kuyan quickly looked at the rearview mirror and saw Luo Xiu grabbing the bloodhound's tail and sliding on the sand.

"Be careful not to get tangled up in the wheels."

"I'll be careful." Luo Xiu raised his right foot and placed it against the car body, keeping his body at a safe distance from the wheels at all times.
