Chapter 379: Highway Maintenance Worker
Xie Li returned to his previous state, as if the child who was full of murderous aura before was not him.
The next morning, Xie Chunyan was much more reserved when talking to Xiang Yu.
After all, she didn't know what happened between the two of them last night, but when she asked Xie Li, Xie Li refused to tell her.
What a weird kid. She could actually sense that Xiang Yu had no ill will towards them. It was estimated that the three of them would only travel this distance together.
Xie Li had encountered too many dangers in the past few years, and she was in a state of tension. She had always been too optimistic.
"You...you know everything..." Xie Chunyan asked anxiously.
"Know what? Do you know that Xie Li is the kid who got the divine fluid? Or do you know that he killed a lot of people..."
Xiang Yu's tone sounded as if he was just chatting, but Xie Chunyan was a little panicked. It was all her fault that she let the cat out of the bag.
I can't move when I see food.
"Then...then you will..."
"I told you, I am a wandering survivor just like you."
Xie Chunyan was thinking about what she had said yesterday that led Xiang Yu to see through her lies.
Xiang Yu looked at the conflicted Xie Chunyan. This woman was kind-hearted and simple-minded, and she was very easy to understand.
Just like when she went to save Xie Li without even thinking about it.
Xie Chunyan was silent for a long time along the way. The more she spoke, the more mistakes she made. She didn't want to bring trouble to herself and Xie Li.
In two days, the three of them passed through R City and reached the north directly. In front of them was an endless plain.
At first glance, there are no mountains, it is almost entirely flat land, and there is not a single weed on the ground, it is simply a desert.
But fortunately there is always wind here, so the fog is not that thick.
When I was in the city, I could only see about one or two meters in the fog, but here, I could see five or six meters.
At night, the three of them rested under two sand dunes. There was no firewood here, so Xie Li and Xie Chunyan leaned together to keep warm, while Xiang Yu sat in the tent.
The three of them will separate tomorrow morning. In the second half of the night, Xiang Yu opened the tent, stood up, stretched his body, and then walked into the thick fog.
Xie Li glanced at Mother Xie who was sleeping soundly, carefully picked up the dagger and followed Xiang Yu out.
Xiang Yu had only one request these past two days. She wanted Xie Li to show off his full strength and have a good fight with her.
She wanted to know how strong a cyborg like Xie Li would be after taking the divine liquid.
After all, Xiang Yu had fought with the experimental subject once before, so he had some understanding of the official's strength.
The two fought for nearly an hour, and Xiang Yu had a rough idea of Xie Li's strength. If Xie Li had undergone systematic training, he would probably be able to fight him on equal terms.
But if she released the robot, she would be able to completely crush Xie Li, and she had a rough estimate of how her strength would be improved.
Xiang Yu thought about what Xie Chunyan said. Everyone in the whole village is like Xie Li. If they all took the divine liquid, how strong would they be?
Back in the tent, Xiang Yu took out the remaining two bottles of divine liquid from the space. A piece of news had been released in City A.
Each survivor's body can only be injected with one shot of the divine liquid, even someone like Xie Li can only be injected with one shot.
They also did experiments over there, and one survivor wanted to become stronger, so he injected the second dose of the divine liquid without telling anyone, but he ended up exploding and dying.
So far, there has been no successful case.
Xiang Yu pondered in his mind, and finally put away the divine liquid. Now it was no longer realistic to rely on training to improve his strength.
Right now, the ground is full of experimental subjects and modified humans, and Zhao Lixin is also studying the symbiosis of humans and machines.
Zhao Lixin removed the animal bodies connected to the animal-modified humans rescued from the laboratory last time.
They are currently being fitted with mechanical bodies. Some simple broken arms have been easily repaired, but some survivors have lost the lower half of their torso.
We need to study how to make their bodies and mechanical bodies coexist without causing any rejection reaction.
Xiang Yu recalled the scenes that followed. Survivors who had been injected with the divine liquid were everywhere, and modified humans like Xie Li were no longer outliers.
The survivors who coexist with machines can improve their overall strength with the power of machines.
In the past few years, humans have gradually overturned their previous cognition and entered a completely new field.
Everything is moving in a better direction, but the ordinary survivors who remain where they are have been completely abandoned.
Xiang Yu was thinking about what to do next. Improving his strength was a must...
In the morning, the three of them continued on their journey as usual. Fortunately, although the wind and sand were strong, the highway was on a high ground and the guardrails were often maintained, so the wind and sand were kept out.
The three of them were walking on the highway when a tall, blurry black shadow outside the guardrail in front of them waved in their direction.
The black figure was wearing a hat and looked like a guardrail maintenance worker.
Xie Chunyan was about to walk over, but Xie Li stepped in just in time and pulled her back.
Xie Chunyan might not be able to see clearly in the thick fog, but Xie Li saw it clearly. The one waving at them was not a maintenance worker, but a black bear.
