The experience of freedom from suffering is like a new life.
But this new life is not all good and comfortable.
After his body was repaired, Li Nuo walked alone in the green wilderness.
Use the wind as your companion and grass as your mat.
When he was tired, he would sit on the ground, rest his head on his elbows and admire the blue sky. When he was thirsty or hungry, he would go to the river to drink water, grab some grass leaves and wild fruits and stuff them into his mouth.
After his "tenacity" and "vitality" are significantly higher than those of ordinary people, drinking river water and eating raw grass and leaves are no longer a big problem. The existence of deconstruction also allowed Li Nuo to skillfully avoid poisonous plants.
The first day away from the crowds and hustle and bustle.
As Li Nuo walked, he checked the knowledge results of passively deconstructing Greensau.
The joy brought by the huge harvest was quickly diluted by the troubles caused by the trivial matters of survival.
He felt like he had become an animal and no longer had any social significance.
He had to worry about drinking water, eating, and resting all the time, and he had to always be wary of wolves and wild horses wandering in the wilderness.
The second day away from the crowds and hustle and bustle.
He began to understand why humans are social animals, and began to miss hot meals, delicious herbal tea, and wanted a comfortable soft bed and a sleeping environment without mosquitoes.
He no longer appreciates the magnificent beauty of nature. Instead, he feels disgusted with the original way of living and is eager to communicate with others and return to human civilization.
The third day away from human beings.
His heart returned to peace.
He spent yesterday's day remembering the beauty of the world, but he also remembered a lot of the nastiness and darkness of intrigues.
The fourth day away from human beings.
His revulsion for primitive life was born again, and he longed for hot baths and soft beds.
The fifth day away from human beings.
He comprehended philosophy and analyzed his own psychology in his solitary contemplation.
He realized that his vacillation between primitive life and civilized life was not caused by himself, but by the nature rooted in the human soul.
The sixth day away from human beings.
Well.
He didn't think too much that day.
The roar of engines in the sky attracted all his attention and drove away the philosophical thoughts and speculations in his mind.
"After walking for so many days, I finally saw a human figure~"
Somewhere in the southern part of the Fission Wilderness, Li Nuo stood on a low slope and looked north, his eyes following the movement of the convoy not far away.
He threw away his supplies backpack before jumping off the cliff, along with his monocular.
He can now only observe distant scenes with his naked eyes.
He was able to determine that the small black dot moving slowly not far away was a relatively small convoy.
The convoy is traveling very fast, with about 10 vehicles in total.
Certainly not a steam locomotive like the Tatis Empire.
Li Nuo was sure of this.
Because Tatis' classic car can't go that fast.
"I have to hurry over and check out the situation before this convoy has gone far. Maybe if we follow the ruts, we will soon reach the city in the Fission Wilderness."
Li Nuo stepped on the soft soil and jogged in the direction of the motorcade.
His right hand kept pressing a cloth package under his clothes to prevent the package from falling out while running.
The contents of the package were all the things he brought out from the borderland of suffering.
Five days ago, he landed at the foot of a cliff on the north side of the Blade's Edge Mountains.
When he landed, he used his body as a flesh pad, and then used a "magic shield" to cover the potion bottle, thus saving some of the life potion.
After he used the life potion to treat all the injuries on his body, there were only more than 30 life potions left out of the original 60.
"These are my lifeblood. I will have to rely on them to heal me after the Jedi comeback."
Li Nuo touched the life potion stored close to his body through his clothes.
He feels a bit like Sun Wukong in "Dragon Ball"...
The potion of life is "fairy beans".
Wukong relied on fairy beans to make a comeback, and Li Nuo had to rely on life potion...
Always relying on potions to get out of trouble is not an option after all.
The life potion will eventually run out.
We must find a replacement in the Golden Federation.
Li Nuo frowned slightly as he recalled the information about the Golden Federation in his mind while jogging.
The Tatis Empire is a very closed country.
Its people have little opportunity to learn about the affairs of other countries.
Such as the customs, geographical features of the Golden Federation, the talents of alchemists, the concept of alchemy, etc., this knowledge is extremely unfamiliar to most people in the empire.
Li Nuo didn't find many clues from Kasha's memory.
However, in Greensau's memory, a lot of information related to the Golden Federation was found.
But it is limited to knowing the appearance of the locals of the Golden Federation, knowing that there is an illegal crossing east of the Fission Wilderness, and knowing the existence of the wizard organization Elemental Trial.
After all, Kasha is an MI2 investigator who is responsible for the internal review of the empire, and Greensaul was originally the leader of the wand destruction team of MI2. The two are not MI6 agents who are specifically responsible for infiltrating the Golden Federation.
Their lack of understanding of the Golden Federation is understandable.
Being unfamiliar with the place was just one of the troubles Li Nuo had to face.
Li Nuo is not worried about the language barrier.
He has a lot of energy points on hand, enough to gain knowledge about the native language of the Golden Federation by deconstructing ordinary people.
What he was really worried about was appearance and legal status.
He has a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, ice blue eyes, and his skin is white because he has not seen the sun all year round.
All this is different from the natives of the Golden Federation.
Moreover, Li Nuo tried it and found that the degree of modification of the skin color by "Disguise Living Corpse" was extremely limited.
Li Nuo could roughly simulate the appearance of a federal person, but there was nothing he could do about the skin color.
The skin of the people of the Golden Federation is much darker than that of the people of the Empire, obviously darker.
This is caused by the two suns overhead...
That’s right, two suns.
Within the empire, the sun and stars are invisible all day long.
There is no such problem in the Federation.
There are two suns hanging in the sky here.
One big and one small.
Brother Sun, who looks like an adult, drags Brother Sun, who is still a child, wandering in the blue sky.
If you look up at the two suns from the ground, the larger one is about as big as a clenched fist.
Its appearance and color are completely consistent with the "sun" in Li Nuo's impression.
The smaller sun is only the size of a "1 yuan" coin and appears dim blue.
The first time Li Nuo saw the sun in this world, he was really shocked.
But he soon discovered that having one more sun in the sky was not a big problem...
It's just a little bit hotter and stuffier, your skin will get tanned a little bit, and you just need to drink a few more glasses of water every day.
Anyway, as long as the third sun does not emerge and form the legendary "three-body" structure, everything is still in an acceptable state.
Under such lighting conditions, Li Nuo had a hunch that his skin would soon become like the natives of the Golden Federation.
Just the wind and sun in the past few days have worn away a lot of the original skin color.
The more troublesome thing is the eye color.
Golden Commonwealth mostly has black or brown pupils, not ice blue ones.
Li Nuo could cover his face with a face towel and wait until the imperial man's facial features faded before taking off the face towel.
But what about pupil color?
He can't just dig out his eyes and replace them with prosthetic ones...
So the best way is to wear sunglasses and cover your pupils, so that you can reduce a lot of unnecessary attention.
"Papa…papa…"
The crisp sound of gunfire echoed in the empty wilderness.
Li Nuo broke away from his thoughts and slowed down.
He listened carefully and determined that the gunfire came from the direction of the convoy.
When I came to a high place and took a look, I saw that the convoy not far away had stopped at some point and was fighting another group of people with firearms.
The two sides were fighting in full swing, and they didn't even notice that there was a stranger on the sidelines.
Li Nuo used the gentle slope in the wilderness to cover his figure and got closer to the battlefield.
He crawled forward and stayed close to the ground to the top of a gentle slope. Half of his head emerged from the grass and he looked at the convoy and the people fighting with the convoy.
"Interesting, the vehicles in this team are four-wheeled motorcycles with wide tires and thick exhaust pipes. It seems that the Golden Federation has mastered the internal combustion engine technology. There are many patches on the motorcycles, and human skulls are hung as decorations. . Well, these guys don’t seem to be good people, otherwise they wouldn’t use things like ‘skulls’ to show their authority.”
Li Nuo basically concluded that the team in front of him was not a kind person.
After seeing what this team did, he was even more determined.
The clothes worn by the team members are mainly dirty and reflective waxed jackets, and their trousers are mostly jeans with holes.
The weapons they used were crudely styled homemade firearms—double-barreled shotguns made from rusty metal sheets, revolvers with slightly deformed barrels, shotguns with too thick muzzles, etc.
Such a group of wasteland-style people stopped their car in the wilderness not for camping, but to rob a campsite.
The tents in this camp are similar in color to the grass, showing a dark green color.
It is difficult to find traces of the camp at a relatively long distance.
It was only then that Li Nuo noticed the existence of this camp.
There were ten people on the convoy side and only five on the camp side.
The weapons in the hands of both sides were crudely made firearms, but due to the large gap in numbers, the entire battle came to an end quickly.
At the moment when Li Nuo was secretly observing, all the people on the camp side had been wiped out by the convoy, and three people on the convoy side also fell to the ground and died.
The surviving convoy members entered the camp to plunder and carry all the water, food, firearms, medicines and backpacks in the camp to the car.
Several of them were extremely cruel. They cut off the head of the deceased and hung it in the back of the car.
In that ghostly place at the junction of suffering, the sufferings suffered by human beings come from the spirits of the dead.
But in the fission wilderness, a place full of greenery, the only enemy of mankind seems to be mankind itself.
The cruelty and bloodshed inflicted by his own kind was far more shocking than when Li Nuo faced the undead for the first time.
Seeing this situation, Li Nuo made plans to take action.
It's not for the so-called justice, nor is it for revenge on one side of the camp who is neither a relative nor a friend.
It was the evil deeds on the team's side that gave Li Nuo the urge to passively deconstruct the team members and obtain a large amount of intelligence.
And in the process, he won't suffer any psychological burden.
He threw deconstruction spells at the convoy members.
[System message: You are trying to deconstruct "Unknown Name of Team Member". 】
[It is estimated that 15 energy points will be consumed to increase the completion of deconstruction to 100%. 】
"15 energy points...these team members are ordinary people without extraordinary abilities."
Li Nuo figured out the details of the other seven people and no longer hesitated.
He circled back to the back of the convoy, using the bushes as cover, and inched closer to the quad bike.
The convoy members were happily searching the camp, completely unaware of the stranger approaching them.
Li Nuo quietly came to the motorcycle and found a revolver and a dagger from the car.
He held the dagger in his left hand, put it under his gun-holding right hand, cast a "magic shield", and launched an attack on his motorcycle.
"boom!"
A team member who was walking with a backpack fell on his back, with a round hole in the center of his forehead.
The sudden sound of gunfire alerted the convoy members in the camp.
They dropped the trophies in their hands, drew the firearms from their backs, and launched a counterattack.
After seeing that there was only one attacker, the six surviving convoy members laughed wildly, pulled the triggers casually, and poured bullets around the opponent.
They thought that the enemy would be frightened by the bullets, bury their heads, and be beaten passively.
But they were wrong.
Li Nuo faced the bullets fired at him, calmly aimed at the next target's head and pulled the trigger, then the third target's head...
He has a "magic shield" on his body, which allows him to completely ignore the threat of small-caliber bullets and confront the enemy head-on.
The arrogant team members became living targets.
Li Nuo emptied the bullet chamber and sent bullet after bullet accurately into the opponent's head.
Only then did the remaining team members realize that something was very wrong.
As soon as he turned around and ran away, Li Nuo, who was chasing him, wiped his neck with a dagger.
Looking around the messy camp, Li Nuo picked up the kettle and rag on the ground and cleaned the blood in his hands.
He clicked on the deconstruction results, carefully read the memories of the team members, and let out a sigh that was mixed with joy and caution.
"It turns out that this Fission Wilderness is not peaceful either.
“The camp is that of fishermen, and the convoy is that of scavengers.
"The scavengers are backed by gangs in big cities. Behind the gangs in big cities, there are also local forces such as alchemist associations, chambers of commerce, consortiums and companies.
"There are no alchemists among the scavengers, but there are alchemists in the gangs in big cities. Basically, the leaders of each gang are first- to second-level alchemists. Even higher-level alchemists , all were recruited by the local forces behind the gangs..."
Li Nuo washed the blood off his hands, rubbed his chin, nodded slowly and said:
“Judging from the memories of this group of scavengers, the Golden Federation is a country that pursues strength more than the Tatis Empire.
"In the Tatis Empire, ordinary people have no access to the "Imperial Fist". But here in the Golden Federation, alchemists of all kinds travel everywhere and penetrate into all aspects of society. From cultivating plants to producing firearms, to building cars and houses, alchemists are everywhere. It is difficult for ordinary people not to come into contact with alchemists. "
Li Nuo grinned:
"I like a place like this. Although there are a large number of Extraordinaries and the pressure of competition is high, there are relatively few restrictions on Extraordinaries. As long as I don't show those appalling death spells, I can still live a nourishing life."
Li Nuo searched the camp and found "compressed rice soup" packaged in a metal box.
This is an alchemical food that will melt when exposed to water. After being soaked in hot water, it will turn into a soft and glutinous thick rice soup in just a few moments.
Although it sounds similar to "compressed biscuits", it is not made by the food industry, but a product of "food alchemy".
In the Golden Federation, alchemists are not only extraordinary people who can participate in battles, but also the main force in the mass production of social materials.
The productivity of each of them is ten times or more than that of ordinary people.
Production lines are things that ordinary people can use.
In the eyes of alchemists, all substances can be transformed from other substances or energies according to alchemical formulas.
According to the guidance of the alchemical formula, use alchemical runes to describe the alchemical formation, and put in the correct alchemical materials, you can obtain the alchemical product pointed to by the alchemical formula.
Alchemical formulas, alchemical runes, and alchemical materials are the alchemist's lifelong pursuit. The rare gadgets in it are enough to fascinate every alchemist.
A complete alchemy drawing will include formulas, runes, and a material list.
The above is common sense that even scavengers know, but that's all.
If you want to learn more alchemy knowledge, there are only three ways to go.
The first way is to pass the entrance examination of the Alchemy Temple, enter the Alchemy Academy as an alchemy apprentice, and learn orthodox alchemical knowledge.
This path has extremely high IQ requirements, and the entrance exam alone is enough to screen out more than 99.9% of candidates.
The second path is to join a gang or company, accumulate wealth in your daily work, and then purchase alchemical knowledge from the faction you belong to.
This is the path taken by scavengers, fishermen, and the like who are not smart enough but eager to learn alchemy. Behind the scavengers are gangs, and behind the fishermen is the alchemy company responsible for refining canned fish.
The third way is to buy alchemy knowledge from the black market. This knowledge may be the same as that taught by alchemical temples, companies, or gangs, or it may be compiled by illegal alchemists.
Learning alchemy is too far away now.
The most important thing is to find a safe place to stay as soon as possible.
Li Nuo stayed in the fishermen's camp for a while, and then embarked on a journey to the big city with a whole cart of supplies.
There is only one city in the Fission Wilds, and that is "Gathering City".
An ID card is required to enter the Convergence City.
Li Nuo doesn't worry about this now.
He found several identity cards on the scavengers and fishermen, corresponding to the forces to which the scavengers and fishermen belonged.
As long as Li Nuo changes his appearance and puts on his sunglasses, he can use his identity card to pretend to be a scavenger or a fisherman and sneak into the city.
After that, he might be able to "prostitute" other types of identity cards for free on the black market in the city.
He also doesn't have to worry about his imperial characteristics attracting unnecessary attention...
Because in the memories of the scavengers, many people from the Tatis Empire came to the Fission Wilderness through various means and multiplied in the wilderness for several generations.
The Imperial people do look different from the locals, but it's definitely not uncommon.
Out of caution against "fellows meeting fellows, stabbing each other in the back", Li Nuo did not want to have any interaction with the imperial people in the city.
But sometimes it just doesn't happen.
The less you want to meet someone, the more likely you will meet someone.
Li Nuo disguised himself and came outside the camp.
He had just figured out how to drive a four-wheel motorcycle when he looked up and saw another convoy heading in his direction.
He picked up the telescope hanging on the motorcycle and took a look. The leader of the convoy was a standard imperial man...
After noticing that Li Nuo was observing him with a telescope, the man also raised the telescope and looked over.
The two immediately met their eyes through the lenses...
"Hiss... I need 10,000 energy points to completely deconstruct him. This man is a big boss. But he doesn't seem to have anything special..."
"Eh? There is a stranger covering his face and hands there? The skin in the gap of the mask is so white. Is he an Imperial who just smuggled over?"
Thank you for the 100 points that will never be paid!
