Mechanical Flesh

Chapter 1 Talent Tree

The new era has come for three hundred years, and the thick lead cloud has enveloped the void for three hundred years. The humans on Seablue Star have almost forgotten that behind the thick cloud, there is a sun that emits light and heat. Occasionally, there will be a beam of scorching heat. The hot sun tore through the clouds and poured on the dry land, bringing death instead of life.

Humans are no longer fragile, but the radiant energy contained in the sun is still enough to pollute ordinary people and turn them into monsters more terrifying than insects and beasts!

Under the gray clouds, on the top of the rocky hills, there is a hidden cave.

Inside the cave, there were four men in full armor. The old individual combat uniforms wrapped around their bodies could not see the original color, but they could not conceal their fierceness at all.

They've all killed people, and more than one!

A man with a rough face was lying on the gray rock, holding an old rifle in one hand and a binoculars in the other, peeping at the scene below the mountain.

Within the field of vision of the telescope, three unkempt and ragged figures were chained around their ankles, lying on the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

The surrounding area was stained red by dark red blood, exuding a strong smell of blood.

After a while, the man handed the binoculars to a man next to him who was playing with a pistol, took out a bronze pocket watch from his pocket, and glanced at the time.

"The bait has been placed for more than an hour and thirty-seven minutes, and the anesthetic injected into their bodies is only effective for two hours. If we consider the onset time of the anesthetic in the worm's body, we still have at most twenty minutes."

As soon as the words fell, the eyes of the three people who were close to the entrance of the cave fell to the deepest part of the cave at the same time.

A middle-aged man with only one eye left is holding an old AK, eyes closed and dozed off.

The one-eyed man didn't open his eyes, but he seemed to see the gazes of the three. He closed his eyes and said in a low voice:

"Wait another ten minutes. If no worms appear, inject all the remaining anesthetic into the bait's body."

The real targets of these anesthetics are insects and beasts, and there is only one consequence of continuous use on ordinary people, and that is death.

But for this group of wilderness hunters who use ordinary people as bait to lure and kill insects and beasts, doing so will not bring any psychological burden.

The only difference is that the attracted insects want to eat live food or carrion food.

"Boss, there are worms coming!"

A man who was observing the movement below suddenly whispered.

"A rotten wolf!"

The one-eyed man in the cave slowly opened his eyes, and a dark green light flashed in the only remaining one-eyed.

"Get ready to fight, a carcass of a rotten wolf is enough to make that chick in the Blackstone Tavern strip naked and kneel in front of us to serve us for three days and three nights!"

There was a heavy panting sound in the cave. For wilderness hunters who were licking their blood, the only things that could interest them were spirits and women, apart from weapons and genetic medicines.

In Blackstone Town, other than digging in mines, the only way to get these things is to hunt insects!

Among the insects and beasts that haunt Blackstone Town, the rotting wolf is undoubtedly a dangerous existence.

After three hundred years of pollution and evolution, the animals that dare to hunt outside in the new era have already changed from prey to dangerous hunters.

The rotten wolf in front of him, attracted by the smell of blood, has the height of a grown man on all fours. Its body shape is comparable to that of a calf in the old days. Its fur is hard enough to withstand the damage of bullets, and its sharp claws can easily tear apart humans. body.

Ordinary people who encounter rotten wolves in the wild will not have any hope of surviving. The only thing they can do is to pray that rotten wolves can bite from the head when eating, so that they can bear less pain and do not need to wake up Watching the rotting wolf swallow his body one bite at a time.

The lurker in the cave was watching from afar as he approached the rotten wolf.

The gray rotting wolf's eyes flickered fiercely, and rancid mucus dripped from its mouth. It circled around the unconscious bait a few times, and did not approach rashly, like a cautious hunter.

"These things seem to be getting smarter!" the man with the binoculars whispered.

The other man narrowed his eyes, looked at the rotten wolf in circles, and said calmly:

"No matter how smart a worm is, it can't compare to a human, unless it can completely control the instinct of a worm!"

"It's approaching, ready to eat, get ready!"

Neither the rotten wolf nor the lurker in the cave noticed that one of the unconscious baits moved slightly, like a subconscious twitch.

In a daze, Qi Yuan finally sensed the existence of his own body, but the numbness coming from every corner of his body made him unable to control his body at all.

"I seem to have been in a car accident. Is this a general anesthesia for me and an operation?"

"...No, I was crushed from the front by a big truck, how could I still be alive..."

"Am I already dead?"

At the moment Qi Yuan realized that he was dead, a huge memory flooded into his mind instantly.

"Old Era... New Era..."

"Mechanics...genetic warriors...superpowers...worms...polluters...radiation..."

"Fuck! I have traveled to the wasteland of the last days! This is worse than a sudden death in a car accident!"

After absorbing the influx of memories and realizing his current situation, Qi Yuan finally couldn't help but swear in his heart.

Just experienced a sudden death in a car accident, and then want to experience survival in the last days?

Why don't you give me a golden finger to save it?

Perhaps after hearing Qi Yuan's prayer, a mechanical voice suddenly appeared in his consciousness.

"Blue Star Wasteland sign in successfully!"

"Sign in successfully for the first time, and you will get a big gift package - super life talent tree!"

"Successful sign-in for the first time, you got a sign-in reward - talent point * 1!"

Remarks: Talent points can be combined with different items to light up different super talents!

With the sound of the sound, an invisible force surged through the whole body, the effect of the powerful anesthetic was instantly eliminated, and the body returned to the control of consciousness.

After realizing that he could move, Qi Yuan did not stand up hastily, but remained lying on the ground, motionless.

The paralyzed body made Qi Yuan realize that his situation is not safe, and the fatal danger may be around him, and he may die suddenly at any time!

Help--

Screaming suddenly rang in my ears, and then stopped quickly.

Crack...Crack...

Instead, the sound of bones being chewed was heard intermittently, and at the same time, there was a strong rotten smell lingering around the body.

Insects!

Qi Yuan quickly realized that there was a worm eating beside him.

Black-toothed rat or rotten wolf?

If it's the former, it's easier to deal with, but if it's the latter, it's hard to save your life even if you become a superhuman.

In the memory of the original owner of this body, Rotten Wolf's strength is no weaker than that of a first-order transcendent, not to mention that there is a cold chain on his feet.

Qi Yuan's eyes slightly opened a gap, and he saw only a huge gray figure, who was gnawing on food with his head down, and it was vaguely visible that it was a broken human body. Awake, the last cry uttered.

The rotten wolf's green eyes were filled with animalistic greed, and the intertwined fangs were ferocious and sharp, and the dark red blood dripped from between the teeth, converging on the ground into a dark red pool of blood.

A living person was bitten to pieces and devoured by rotten wolves!

The mental shock of facing death made Qi Yuan's whole body cold, but his consciousness became more and more calm.

Don't be afraid!

If you are afraid, you will die!

Calm down, I still have a chance of escape!

After forcing himself to calm down, Qi Yuan began to examine the super life talent tree in his body. It was a huge talent tree in the shape of a pyramid. Most of the talent tree was shrouded in a vague mist. layer, revealing a trace of the real face.

Those are gray, unlit light balls, like unripe apples, hanging on the tree.

Although it is only the bottom layer, the number of light spheres is indeed as numerous as stars, like an endless starry sky, it is impossible to count how many light spheres there are.

The moment he saw these light spheres, Qi Yuan realized that these light spheres represented extraordinary abilities!

Every time you light up a gray ball of light, you will gain a supernatural ability!

"If all these light spheres of energy are lit up, what kind of powerful power will it gain, a god walking in the world?"

Qi Yuan suppressed the agitation in his heart and began to think about how to save himself.

"The talent points of the sign-in reward are the key to lighting up the gray light sphere, but you also need to consume the corresponding items to match. Different items will be matched with different light spheres to obtain different abilities!"

"Extraordinary abilities have different focuses. There are not many extraordinary abilities that can solve my current predicament. I only have one talent point, and I can only acquire one extraordinary ability. I must use it with caution."

Qi Yuan tentatively leaned his right hand on the soil, and at the same time tried to bring his talent point closer to the soil.

A gray ball of light became vaguely clear, and an idea emerged in Qi Yuan's consciousness.

"Does it consume a ton of soil, a talent point, and light up the talent—thick soil armor."

"Armor of Thick Earth - Controls the soil to form an armor around the body."

Qi Yuan's heart trembled, he could consume soil to light up his talents.

"The ability of armor of thick soil sounds good, and it is more practical. At least it can directly enhance combat effectiveness. Soil is the most common substance in this world. As long as there is soil, it can condense armor and resist damage. It is better than dark vision and water. Breathing under this kind of fancy transcendence is more suitable for me now.

"But the current limitations of this ability are also obvious. It can't get rid of the shackles of the ankle chain, and the first-level thick soil armor can hardly stop the bite of the rotten wolf!"

The breath of the rotten wolf was getting closer and closer, and Qi Yuan could almost feel its warm breath. Suddenly, a thought flashed in Qi Yuan's mind.

"Since my hand touches the soil, I can consume the soil to light up my talent, so when my foot touches the chain, can I consume this chain to light up my talent?"

Qi Yuan controlled the chain of the talent point near the ankle, and the expected idea quickly emerged.

"Does it consume a ton of steel, a talent point, and light up the talent-steel defense."

"Steel defense - the powerful steel power gathers in your body, allowing you to have steel-like defense power!"

"Sure enough! But where did the ton of steel come from? Could it be buried in the ground?"

Qi Yuan suddenly became calm. It doesn't matter which one is stronger, the steel defense or the thick earth armor. Just seeing that the steel defense can free him from the shackles of the anklets is enough for him to make the right choice.

The breath of the rotten wolf was getting closer and closer, and just as Qi Yuan was about to light up the "steel defense", the rotten wolf exuding a stench suddenly lost its footing, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, hitting beside Qi Yuan, A large amount of dirty blood mixed with mud was splashed.

"Why did you fall down all of a sudden?"

Qi Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at the fallen rotting wolf inexplicably. Why did you fall down before I exerted all my strength?

Is this touching porcelain?

boom!

A muffled gunshot broke the tranquility, and also interrupted Qi Yuan's complaints!

The moment the gunshot rang out, the Rotten Wolf's body visibly trembled, obviously being shot.

There are people ambushing!

They're hunting rotten wolves!

Qi Yuan lay on the ground, squinting his eyes slightly, observing the surrounding environment from the corner of his eyes.

The fallen rotting wolf was still breathing, it was just in a coma, not dead yet, and the shot just now didn't kill it either.

As a predator in the wilderness, the rotten wolf couldn't even be killed with a gun. Obviously, it would not be inexplicably unconscious by itself, so it must be the hunter's hands and feet.

In connection with his own situation, Qi Yuan quickly understood the other party's methods.

They are using living people to inject large doses of anesthetics as bait to lure and kill insects and beasts!

"These people dare to use human life as bait. They must be cruel and ruthless people. They are more dangerous than rotten wolves. If they find out that I am still alive, they will definitely kill them. We must find a way to deal with them!"

"These people will not be very strong, otherwise they would not use this method to hunt, but it cannot be ruled out that the other party has other means. I rely on steel defense. In this open terrain, I may not be able to escape their pursuit. kill!"

Qi Yuan continued to pretend to be unconscious, waiting for the opponent to approach. It is definitely not a smart choice to escape in this terrain, and the opponent still has a gun in his hand, so he has to wait until he gets close before taking the opportunity to attack. Maybe there is still a chance.

As the cold wind blew, Qi Yuan lay on the icy ground, waiting for the opportunity to come.
