When Akainu heard Yang Jie's words, his first reaction was not surprise, but suspicion.
I wondered if I was hallucinating.
Oh, God!
Why did the duck that flew to my mouth take the initiative to take it to my mouth?
I have been thinking hard all day to prepare my speech, but I haven’t used a word yet!
Seeing Yang Jie running into his arms like an armadillo with poor eyesight, Akainu felt ecstatic in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface.
“Well, we are indeed still recruiting people, and we are currently short of a car mechanic.
With what you said, I think you are a suitable candidate. "
"Then I'll join, and I'll actually be able to fix something."
Chatting with the Akainu team in the past two days, Yang Jie probably knew what the so-called "car builder" did.
"Is it going to be over so soon?"
Switchblade looked at Yang Jie in disbelief, feeling that the recruitment of wheelwrights was progressing too fast.
"You...don't think about it anymore?"
What to consider!
Hearing Switchblade's head twitching and saying this, Akainu wanted to beat him to death.
Why are you talking about this? Doesn't this make your recruitment plan more difficult?
After hearing what Switchblade said, Akainu clearly saw that Yang Jie was lost in thought again. He cursed the switchblade in his mind, but tried his best not to show any emotion on his face.
He knew that he couldn't show his eagerness now, because it might be self-defeating and scare Yang Jie away.
"Yang Jie, Switchblade is right."
Although Akainu immediately wanted to hold Yang Jie's hand and tell him congratulations on joining the Akainu team, but because the switchblade was so involved, he had to continue speaking along with the switchblade.
"You should think about it again. After all, the profession of wasteland walker itself is quite dangerous. To put it bluntly, this is a job where we take lives and make money."
"No, I think I've thought about it."
Yang Jie actually had nothing to think about.
As the saying goes, in the wasteland, whoever has a gun and who can fight is justified. This is true even among various forces, not to mention individuals.
Without strong force as a foundation, anything else is just a castle in the air.
As for danger, is there any place in this wasteland that is not dangerous? Since you can’t enjoy life quietly and beautifully anywhere, why not give it a try?
We have already traveled through time, is it possible that we still need to huddle quietly in a corner, live in obscurity, and die quietly?
Haven't twenty-four years of living a regular life been enough?
From elementary school, to middle school, to university, to work, is the boring ordinary life that you can see the end of at a glance really what you want?
Do you really like that kind of life, or have you become numb to the facts and quietly accept your mediocre self?
Taking a deep breath and exhaling it slowly, Yang Jie made his decision word by word:
"I'm sure to join."
This is the second life given to him by God. He wants to live the way he wants, a life that is no longer mediocre.
"Do you have any objections?"
Akainu looked at the other three people pretendingly - of course no one would object, then stood up and walked quickly towards Yang Jie, the eagerness in his steps could hardly be concealed.
"Welcome to Team Akainu, Yang Jie."
Looking at the palm Akainu held in front of him, Yang Jie seemed to notice a hint of... enthusiasm?
"No, that simple?"
Watching the two shaking hands, Switchblade couldn't hold his nerve anymore.
"If I had known it was so simple, what kind of 'human touch' plan would you have come up with, boss? It's so complicated... Uh, Uh!"
Before Switchblade could finish speaking, Bear covered his mouth and pulled him aside again.
"Plan? What plan?"
Yang Jie felt that the plan in Switchblade's mouth seemed to be related to him?
"Ahem, it's nothing."
Akainu waved his hand and changed the subject.
"Let me introduce you again, my name is Ryan, the captain of the Wasteland Walker Akainu team, nicknamed 'Akainu'."
"Elena, nicknamed 'Osprey'."
"Ivan, nicknamed 'Bear'."
Gou Xiong, or Ivan, covered the mouth of the switchblade with one hand, and continued to Yang Jie with a smile:
"Also, Switchblade's real name is Rock."
"My name is Yang Jie, my nickname...well, okay, I don't have any nickname."
"This is not okay, Yang Jie."
Roque opened Ivan's hand and broke free from the strong chest.
"You have to have a nickname. We can't call you by your real name during a fight, right? That would be too silly and unprofessional."
Yang Jie thought about it, nodded and said:
“Then take the ‘wrench’.
Well, that's it. "
He can both repair things and fight, and the key is that he is solid and reliable, which Yang Jie thinks is pretty good.
"So what mission are we on?"
After confirming his nickname, Yang Jie finally asked the question that had been hidden in his heart.
Ryan did not answer immediately, but asked:
"Do you know about the Lone Star Republic?"
Yang Jie nodded.
Through these few days of chatting, Yang Jie already had a certain understanding of this huge force that was famous in the wasteland.
The Lone Star Republic is located in the southwest of the wasteland. To be more specific, it is Texas in the former Lighthouse State. It has three large cities. Transportation and communication in the wasteland are difficult, and the cost of maintaining the rule of large forces is extremely high. Three core settlements The land can already be called "powerful".
This is an extremely xenophobic country.
From the name and the team members' descriptions of it, Yang Jie could even guess that the establishment of this country was probably inseparable from the group of Texas rednecks who had been clamoring for independence every day before the nuclear war.
“The core technology of the Lone Star Republic is their military exoskeleton armor.
This was the basis for them to dare to challenge the Roman legions, and it was also the foundation of their country. "
Roman Legion, this one is even more heavyweight.
The leader of this force seems to be a complete "Jingluo". He named his capital "New Rome". The troops adopted the retro Roman legion organization in the wasteland. He even named himself Julius. ·Caesar, the main thing is an original flavor.
All joking aside, the power of the Roman legions was terrifying—four core settlements and seventeen peripheral settlements—the peripheral settlements were managed by administrative governors appointed by Caesar.
The Roman Legion and the Lone Star Republic have been at odds for a long time. In the long-term confrontation, facing the Roman Legion that was far more powerful than themselves, the Lone Star Republic was able to compete with it and even gain the upper hand in small-scale frictions. It relied on its strong strength. Military exoskeleton armor.
"Just six days ago, a senior engineer at the Lone Star Republic Power Laboratory defected."
Speaking of this, Ryan, a former Lone Star man, looked visibly gloomier.
"The defector's name is Ferma Loda, and he is one of the leaders of the Lone Star Republic's "third-generation military exoskeleton" technology project."
