Section 1 Kanazawa Ruins
"Damn the dust storm!"
Yi Chen sat in the light assault car, spitted out the window, and slowly rolled up the window. He touched his pocket and took out a shriveled cigarette box, which contained the last cigarette.
This is the desert area, and its full name is the desert area. Yi Chen is now in the northern desert of the desert area. He took the task and had a total of more than ten people who traveled with him and rented three light desert assault vehicles. The tires were specially ground. Even if they were trapped in quicksand, they could still get rid of the sand with threads. But now there is a sandstorm. Faced with such weather, no matter how powerful the instrument is, it must stop running and wait for the sandstorm to pass.
"The weather here is so great." Next to Yi Chen was a man with a name, tall, thin, and wearing glasses, but his face was extremely bad. He knew at a glance that he lived in a metropolis for scientific research and could not adapt to the climate of the desert area. Yi Chen did not dare to offend this person because he was sent by the superiors. Yi Chen's main job was to serve as a local guide and assist the professor in the investigation.
Yes, Professor. Zhongbiantou is an archaeologist. Another ruin from the third century was discovered in the Mo District. The official of the Mo District reached an agreement with a large consortium in the federal territory to investigate the ruins together. This Zhongbiantou is the researchers in that consortium.
"Smoking a cigarette is a waste of time. There is no time for such a sandstorm to pass." Yi Chen thought about it and handed over the cigarette box.
"Thank you, I won't smoke." The middle parting gently blocked the cigarette box handed by Yi Chen. His brown pupils showed a faint smile. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with the young guide in front of him. He was not as rude as the uutist in the desert area, and he paid great attention to polite words in his words.
"Are you a utu?" asked Zhongbian, who scratched his head. Anyway, he was idle, and chatting was also a way to pass the time.
"I am a mixed-race." Yi Chen smiled, revealing his white teeth. There were three claw marks under his right eye, which seemed to be scars left by a certain creature. The three claw marks also bent slightly with the smile. "One of my parents is a new human of the Federation and the other is a Uttor, but I am an orphan, so the specific situation is not clear." Yi Chen added.
Now is the Fourth Era, also known as the Fourth Century. The world pattern has undergone great changes, with mixed races and re-divided forces. Generally speaking, the Federation is still dominated by the Federation, but after the evolution of time, under the Federation, the other three autonomous regions have developed considerable power and self-technology. In addition to the accident of maintaining the federal leadership in name, they have basically evolved into three forces.
As time goes by and the differences in environments in different places, at the beginning of the fourth century, there were four distinctions in terms of race. People living in the internal ruling areas of the Federation call themselves new humans, with their general characteristics being black hair, yellow skin, and brown pupils. The desert area is one of the three major forces separated from the federal control. The race is the UT, and the brown hair and golden pupils are their characteristics. Moreover, the men of the UT are generally strong in shape, while women have clear figures, which should be convex and those who should be convex. In short, survival of the fittest and survival of the fittest, the environment in the desert area is extremely difficult, and the physique and some genes of the race are probably also changed.
Yi Chen's pupils are golden, which proves that he has utu blood, but his hair is black, and there is no such color except for the new humans. However, this black hair is mixed with a lot of white silk. In Yi Chen's words, it is probably because of the "hard environment, one day is a year" and other words teasing his hair color for "premature aging".
"Orphan, that's really not easy!" Zhongbian said in surprise: "What kind of work do you usually do?"
"As long as it is within my ability, you will do everything, as long as it is rewarded." Yi Chen said with a smile, touching the scar on his right face: "Most of the time, I am used as a guide for people like you, and occasionally go out to pick up scatters. If you are lucky, I will also be a hunter. The leather of the beast is valuable. But it is also very dangerous. These three scars were left when they were hunting the "Sand-Footed Snake". It scared me to death. Fortunately, its claws are not poisonous."
The serpents are a kind of snake in the desert area. It is not rare, but it is very dangerous. The adult serpents can be about three meters long. Their teeth are fatal, but they are not poisonous. What causes people to die are bacteria and microorganisms attached to the teeth. As long as they are bitten, the wound will become suppurated and infected. Without antibiotics, they will definitely die. Moreover, this beast is very smart. They also know that just one bite can not kill large prey. The serpents have a very sensitive sense of smell. It can smell the smell of suppuration in the wound, and then track the prey bitten by itself, waiting for it to be infected with dead objects because of the wound.
Yi Chen was still very lucky. He was just scratched by the claws of the serpent. Although he almost lost his right eye, the share of the price of the snake skin with the serpentent made him survive the difficult winter.
According to historical records, wild beasts were not so ferocious. At least in the second century, many wild beasts were locked in cages for people to watch or breed. However, since the end of the second century, the Mayan civilization predicted, these wild beasts have changed. The main reason is that various radiations have been caused. However, humans entered the third century and mechanical civilization has developed rapidly. However, a huge beast tide broke out at the end of the third century. When humans finally resisted the past, civilization was already much behind. This is the fourth century, which is the beginning of the present. This is also why the relics of the third century were so valued.
"This is too dangerous. You should find a fixed job." Zhongbian said in a slightly exaggerated tone. It is no wonder that he had such a reaction. Because in the federal government, a teenager like Yi Chen should sit obediently in school, and then get a good job in a year or two. If you are lucky, it would be good to enter a high-end company with your family connections.
"Oh, the desert area is not as good as the Federation. The jungle law is the real law." Yi Chen said, lit a cigarette for himself. "If it is too weak, even if you get food, you will be beaten and divided by those wild boys. After I was beaten three times, I learned my lesson. At that time, I brought a stick every day. When I saw a guy with a piece of bread in my hand, I rushed up to beat him and snatch him and snatched him away. Until I was thirteen years old, I became a dedication guide for the first time. Then I knew that this kind of thing was profitable and I had been working until now, for five years."
Yi Chen said, taking a sip of a cigarette hard, and the air came out of his nostrils. He opened the exhaust port on the car slightly, with a filter on it, and sand and dust could not enter. Such movements and tone were very similar to those uncles who were nearly forty years old. It was hard to imagine that an 18-year-old boy would have such feelings. The bloodline of the utu man also had violent factors in Yi Chen's thoughts, but he usually suppressed it. As a mixed-race child, Yi Chen's body size is smaller than that of the purebred utu man and his strength is smaller, which made him inevitably bullied in his childhood. However, Yi Chen is very good at using his head, and those debts will always be repaid within the next two or three days.
To be honest, Yi Chen himself admitted that he was not a good person. He had known to have been secretly slandered in secret for a long time. It is common for him to quietly slap behind his back after walking into the path. The most outrageous time was that Yi Chen once secretly joined forces with a homeless man to kill a boy two years older than him. That time he took one-third of the property peeled from the corpse from the homeless man. The reason was that this kid stole a rich man's wallet three days ago and kicked Yi Chen with his strength. And that time Yi Chen was only eleven years old.
The dark side of society will never change, because shadows are twin brothers of light. If you are unfortunately born in the dark world, you will become the kind of person who tramples on others except being trampled on by others. It is obvious that Yi Chen learned very quickly and learned very well when he was a child. It is normal for him to die directly or indirectly under his command of one or two peers under his command every few days.
Zhongbian inadvertently fought a cold war and looked at the boy in front of him. Although his smile seemed harmless, he was a spider in his heart. Although he was very weak, he had the ability to set up traps and kill people with one blow. Zhongbian suddenly felt that Yi Chen's whole body was covered with blood and a little cunning.
"The ones that must be careful are those scavengers." Yi Chen suddenly said, "The address of the Kanze Relic is not very secret. It is just that because the outer layer is solid and difficult to break through, few people have been paying attention to it, but there are not many people wandering around to pick up scavengers. They are the best choice for the opportunity, and they may rush in at all costs and try to grab the things in the ruins." Yi Chen blushed when he said here, after all, he did this.
Zhongbian said, "I don't want to worry. There are two armored masters accompanying him this time, who are responsible for our safety."
"Oh, Master Kai!"
Yi Chen's eyes lit up.
The profession of Kaishi is extremely special and has only appeared since the third century. It is said that it was the golden age of Kaishi. "Kai" is the so-called Kaishi's armed force. This is an artificially enhanced exoskeleton system that can ensure the safety of human life under certain impact, and it also has other powerful abilities. However, since the late beast tide in the third century, the technology of Kaishi has plummeted. The main purpose of the expedition team where Yi Chen is located is to find whether there are Kaishi left in the third century in the remains.
However, Yi Chen did not know much about this kind of knowledge. He just knew that those armor masters were very powerful, so powerful that they could kill him with just a finger.
"Eye scars, the sandstorm is about to pass, ready to go."
At this moment, the driver in the assault vehicle suddenly turned around and said to Yi Chen. "Eye Scar" is Yi Chen's nickname because there are three claw marks under his right eye.
