Originally, Akainu just thought that Yang Jie might have caused some trouble, so he was vague when explaining why he was caught by the desert locusts.
But in the past two days, Akainu felt more and more that Yang Jie might really not know.
Through conversation, Akainu discovered that Yang Jie knew nothing about the desert locust's origin, characteristics, or danger level, except that he knew it was a man-eating desert locust, and showed a strong interest in exploring it.
This is basic common sense living in this world. In this world where even adults scare children by saying, "No matter what happens, desert locusts will snatch you up and eat you." If you don't understand desert locusts, It's really unlikely.
Yang Jie's lack of common sense is not only reflected in this.
Being almost completely unsuspecting of Team Akainu, sleeping soundly in a dangerous wasteland, being scared to the point of jumping up and down by a radioactive mouse as high as a calf - even the children of Old Port would not have this kind of panic reaction. .
All of Yang Jie's actions made Akainu judge with great conviction - this is a poor man who has lost his memory.
Although Yang Jie's identity is still unknown, one thing Akainu is sure of is that Yang Jie has nothing to do with his mission, and he has no ill intentions towards Akainu's team.
This judgment made Akainu feel a little moved.
Excellent car mechanics are quite scarce, and the car mechanics who dare to brave the hail of bullets and take risks to repair cars on high-speed vehicles are the existence that every team of wasteland walkers fights for.
After the death of the last wheelwright, Akainu has been troubled because he can't find a suitable candidate. But now, an outstanding person with excellent skills, bravery and no sense of his own value is sitting in his car like this.
Isn't this the best choice?
Akainu felt that if he didn't lure Yang Jie into his team and let the duck fly away, even Jesus would scold him for not cherishing the opportunity.
But Akainu still needs to listen to other people's thoughts.
"He saved us twice."
Unexpectedly, this time it was the usually taciturn Osprey who spoke first.
"I have no opinion."
"I don't have any objection either."
Then came the switchblade. He shrugged nonchalantly and smiled:
"To be honest, I quite like this guy."
The three of them looked at Xiong Xiong who had not yet spoken.
"He's excellent."
Gou Xiong was silent for a moment and expressed his thoughts:
"I would definitely welcome him if he could join, but..."
Gou Xiong frowned and hesitated, then said:
"The price charged by a carmaker like him is not low. Can we... really afford it?"
"That's nothing to worry about."
Akainu is confident in his own judgment. Yang Jie, that stupid boy, probably doesn’t know how valuable he is. As long as he is willing to be a wasteland walker, there is almost no problem with this.
"alright!"
Seeing that no one had any objections, Akainu clapped his hands, pulled the team members in front of him, and took a look inside the car.
Seeing that Yang Jie still showed no sign of waking up, he felt relieved, turned around and whispered to the three of them:
"In order for Yang Jie to join smoothly, we have to take some action."
"action?"
"Yes, let's do this..."
"Is this... okay?"
"Got to try."
"Oh, why are you hesitating? Xiong, isn't it just to make friends? Leave it to me, I'm good at this."
…………
Yang Jie followed the Akainu team on the wasteland for three days.
After a few days, he had basically determined that the engine of the off-road vehicle was not damaged by a member of the Akainu team himself.
Through his own observation, Yang Jie discovered that the Akainu team always travels in pairs when going out for reconnaissance patrols. In other words, there are always two people on the off-road vehicle to guard them.
No matter what method is used, the noise produced by cutting metal is always very loud. If there is really an insider, it is impossible to tamper with the engine without knowing it.
After confirming this, Yang Jie, who put his heart in his stomach, began to obtain information about the world through chatting.
After three days of research and understanding, Yang Jie finally had a basic understanding of the Wasteland Continent - or should be said to be the post-war American Continent.
It was already a hundred years after the war. The country in the traditional concept no longer existed. The land that was reduced to ruins after the war was gradually occupied by emerging forces of various sizes.
Through comparison, Yang Jie roughly knew that the place where he was now should be at the junction of the former Arizona, the current Old Port, the spheres of influence of the Roman Legion and the Lone Star Republic.
The boundless, red wasteland can also support Yang Jie's judgment.
The "Old Port" mentioned by the Akainu Team still has to travel nearly 300 kilometers southwest, and its approximate location should be a city on the coastline of the Gulf of California in the former country of Mexico.
The Akainu team's knowledge was limited to the forces in the southwest of the Lighthouse Country and the northern part of the Mexico Country. If they were further away, Yang Jie wouldn't be able to ask anything.
In addition, through these two days of research, Yang Jie finally figured out what this light blue subtitle was.
This is indeed a "system", but the system obtained by Yang Jie not only has an extremely crude interface, but also does not have the ability to talk to and guide the host like other systems, and it does not even have the effect of increasing combat effectiveness.
The only thing that can be done is repair, repair all kinds of things.
Yang Jie named him the "Anything Can Fix" system - something so crude and rubbish didn't deserve a better name.
After the upgrade, Yang Jie can clearly feel that there is a lot more knowledge in his brain, including but not limited to welding, metal processing, circuit maintenance, workpiece assembly, programming, etc.
If there was a "decathlon" in the maintenance world, Yang Jie felt that he would definitely be the undisputed champion. Unfortunately, there is no such thing in reality.
And this is a wasteland, not the technologically advanced society it once was.
If Yang Jie were asked to weld that engine again now, he would be absolutely sure that the weld would be both beautiful and strong.
But that's about it.
All-round maintenance man?
Yang Jie smiled bitterly, put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, and looked at the scenery passing by outside the car.
"This is the ruins of the 'Long Wall' I told you about."
The switchblade pointed at a stretch of ruins in the distance and said to Yang Jie:
"It is said that it used to be the dividing line between the north and the south. It was set up by the people in the north to isolate the people in the south."
The members of the Akainu team obviously don’t know much about history. They don’t know about the “Lighthouse Country” or “Mexico Country”. They just know that there used to be two countries on this land, and they were named “Northern” and “Southern” respectively. "Make a distinction.
"After the war, no one maintained it, and parts of the 'Long Wall' were breached by the fleeing crowd. Later, the wall collapsed more and more, and it became what it is now."
"Fleeing? Southerners?"
"No."
Switchblade shook his head.
"He's from the north."
Yang Jie was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood the reason.
In his mind, the reason why the border wall was set up was to prevent Mexicans from sneaking into the Lighthouse Country, so when he heard the crowd of people fleeing, he subconsciously thought they were "people from the south."
But the war will obviously hit the lighthouse countries harder, especially California and Texas, two regions with a large number of naval and army bases, complete industries, and developed science and technology and economy. They will definitely be the key targets of the war.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that "people from the north" fled to the "south".
But it’s funny to think about it. The border wall that was originally intended to prevent people from Mexico from pouring into the Lighthouse Country became an obstacle to prevent people from the Lighthouse Country from escaping to Mexico after the war.
Speaking of this, there is a bit of black humor in it.
