"But now, that wall is no longer a border."
Switchblade continued:
"If the country is gone, what's the point of talking about borders? For wasteland walkers, this wall is just a sign and a division.
To the north of the long wall, the radiation is stronger, and there are more mutant creatures, mutants, and so on. To the south, the radiation is weaker and the danger will be relatively less. "
"Okay, let's spend the night next to the long wall today. The wind is from the north tonight, and it will be better at night if we lean against the long wall to take shelter from the wind."
Akainu directed the bear to cross the separation wall, and after finding a place with leeward and complete wall to stop against the wall, the two left on electric motorcycles to investigate the surrounding situation.
Osprey climbed up the separation wall on the roof of the car and began to guard the surroundings, while Yang Jie got out of the car with the switchblade and collected dry branches everywhere to prepare for the bonfire at night.
"Oh no, no, no."
Seeing Yang Jie helping, the switchblade quickly took the branch from Yang Jie's hand and said kindly with a smile:
"Just rest. I can do this myself."
You've been on the bus all day, why don't you take a break?
Yang Jie was pushed back into the car by the switchblade with a strange expression, feeling something was wrong.
Ever since I woke up yesterday, the attitude of everyone in the Akainu team towards me has undergone subtle changes.
It's not that their attitudes have become worse, these four people seem to be overly enthusiastic towards him, especially Switchblade. From last night to now, they have been greeting him and talking to him in such a friendly manner that Yang Jie even feels embarrassed.
Although everyone was kind to him before - after all, they had experienced life and death together, these people were obviously a little wary of him, but it seemed that in just one sleep, Team Akainu's attitude towards him became a little bit unpleasant. It's natural.
Even a little cautious.
Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing. But Yang Jie didn't think he had anything worthy of their covetousness. Apart from these clothes, the only thing he had in his right hand pocket was a coin - this was the coin that Yang Jie bought cigarettes from before going to work on the day he traveled through time. zero.
Moreover, Yang Jie didn't think that if they wanted to harm him, they would take the trouble to explain things in the wasteland and teach him some survival skills. Even when Yang Jie asked to see the rifle in Spring Blade's hand, after hesitating for a moment, Spring Blade actually lent him the rifle to play with for a few times.
This is a huge amount of trust.
By the way, it was a rifle very similar in style to the AR15. Through the systematic introduction, Yang Jie learned that this gun was the M5 improved model M5A2 (short-barreled carbine) that was used by the M Army to replace the new M4 equipment 23 years later. .
Not understanding what Team Akainu wanted to do, Yang Jie shook his head and silently took out the food for several people from the trunk.
The switchblade put the collected firewood together to allow it to be exposed to as much air as possible, then sprinkled the picked tumbleweed with a little gasoline and stuffed it into it, and lit the bonfire with flint and steel.
After finishing these tasks, the last rays of the setting sun have quietly disappeared into the horizon, the burning firewood crackles, and the dim flames distort the light.
Akainu and Gou Xiong rushed back after a general inspection as usual. The five of them sat in front of the campfire, took out the compressed biscuits wrapped in oil paper from the tin box, and pried open a box of canned luncheon meat. This is today dinner.
Compressed biscuits and luncheon meat, these are Yang Jie's three meals a day these days. Although the taste is a bit poor, fortunately, the fat is sufficient and it tastes good when grilled on the fire.
"Here, here you go."
Switchblade didn't wait for Yang Jie to take action, and took the initiative to hand him the almost heated biscuit can.
"Be careful, it's hot."
Here it comes, here it comes again.
Yang Jie pursed his lips. He was not a child who needed to be taken care of meticulously. He really couldn't bear to be treated like this.
"Is the temperature okay?"
"Um."
"The taste is also good?"
"..."
"Where's the taste?"
Don’t these things all have the same taste? After eating for so many days, you ask me?
Seeing the switchblade pestering Yang Jie endlessly, Akainu helplessly held his forehead, sighed slightly, and winked at the bear.
The bear understood and put down the food in his hand, stood up and walked over, grabbing the switchblade by the back of the collar.
"If there's anything wrong with you...
Hey! Bear! Why are you dragging me? "
"Come with me."
The bear walked to the side with the switchblade without any explanation, and whispered something.
"That's not what the boss said..."
"Keep your voice down!"
"oh oh."
…
The two of them were chatting quietly at the side, or it should be said that the bear was scolding the switchblade in a low voice. Yang Jie looked at the backs of the two of them, a little confused.
"idiot."
Osprey looked at the two of them, suddenly said something, and then continued to eat silently.
After a while, Switchblade nodded, Bear patted Switchblade on the shoulder, and the two returned to the campfire.
This time, the switchblade finally stopped pestering Yang Jie and just sat there eating his own food, but his eyes still drifted towards Yang Jie from time to time.
"Ahem, Yang Jie."
Akainu swallowed the last bite of the biscuit, cleared his throat, and suddenly said to Yang Jie:
"We are now less than 300 kilometers away from the old port. We estimate we can arrive before tomorrow afternoon."
Akainu wiped the cookie crumbs from his hands and continued:
“Old Port is our fix, our home is there.”
After Akainu finished speaking, Yang Jie suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a bit serious. Switchblade and Bear suddenly straightened up, as if they were preparing to face something, and even Osprey put down the food in his hands.
Before Yang Jie could figure out why these people suddenly became so serious, he heard Akainu continue:
“When we get back to Old Port, we have to rest for a few days, so we can only send you to Old Port.
What are your plans when you get to Old Port? "
What's the plan?
After hearing Akainu's words, Yang Jie was stunned for a moment, and then fell into confusion.
He was buried in a fire in the previous world, and was sent to this crazy wasteland world unprepared. After experiencing a series of life and death crises, he finally managed to survive. After getting out of the predicament with the Akainu team, he has been studying "what "Everyone can fix it" system and understand the world.
But from beginning to end, he never thought about how he should or could live in this wasteland.
Use the power of the system to become a maintenance worker in this world?
This may be a good idea in the future. Through these two days of understanding, Yang Jie has clearly understood how declining the wasteland is today. There are still a lot of pre-war technological equipment left in the world because of various Damage and corrosion due to reasons.
If you can use the system's guidance to repair and sell these things, you can definitely live a good life.
But this is a wasteland, a wasteland where guns speak.
In this era where the barrel of a gun is the truth, can I, a weakling who is accustomed to civilized society and has never experienced war, really survive?
People in the wasteland era are ferocious wolves in the wasteland.
Yang Jie, on the other hand, is just a pampered pet dog who is used to a comfortable life in the city.
A lone wolf separated from the pack may be able to survive on his own, but a pet dog driven out of the city will really die.
"that……"
After hesitating for a moment, Yang Jie tentatively said:
"Are you still hiring?"
Yang Jie's words stunned Akainu. Before he could react, Yang Jie continued:
"If you do it, do you think I can do it?"
"puff!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the switchblade who was drinking water spurted out all the water in one gulp.
"Ahem"
The switchblade choked on the water and coughed twice. He stretched out his hand to wipe off the water stains on his face and waved his hand:
"You go on, you go on."
