After many days of trekking and walking a long way, they finally came across a Desolate village. Since they had spent so much effort to find these Desolate people, how could they burn, kill, and loot?
More importantly, what could these Desolate people have that was worth robbing?
Gao Qi had revealed his identity as an ability user. Basically, under normal circumstances, these Desolate people would not provoke him, because there was no need for both sides to take risks.
Under normal circumstances, ability users would come to the Desolate people's village, reveal their identity and strength, and then leave peacefully after receiving limited benefits and supplies. The Desolate people would pay with food, and sometimes even women, but there was no need to engage in a meaningless battle to the death.
This was the case outside Chaoxi City, and it was the same in other places. Only lunatics and perverts would engage in meaningless slaughter.
Gao Qi's request was to stay here and provide protection for the Desolate Dwellers. However, this was just a polite way of saying that he was going to freeload here and couldn't give them anything. However, he wasn't here to rob them, so they shouldn't fail to appreciate his kindness and force him to start a massacre.
If the Desolate people said that they didn't need protection because they had ability users, or that they had powerful firepower to ensure their safety, then they would say that they didn't need protection and that they should get out of here, or we'll fight.
Of course, if the Desolate people weren't very powerful, they wouldn't dare to say such things.
The leader of the Desolate people said something to Anna, and then Anna said to Gao Qi, "He said that they are willing to help you as much as they can, but they have very little supplies and food. I'm afraid you won't be satisfied."
Gao Qi and the other two were wearing dirty clothes, but it was obvious that they were new. Their guns were also new, and they were well-equipped. It was obvious that they weren't things that could be found in the Wasteland.
Everything was seen as a reflection of strength, just like luxury cars and branded bags were seen as a reflection of wealth in peacetime. Gao Qi had revealed his identity as an ability user, and these Desolate people didn't have the strength and courage to resist an ability user, so they decided to compromise.
"Tell them that it's okay. Just tell them that I'm … traveling. I'm exploring this world, so I won't hurt them, and I won't take too much of their survival resources. Also, tell them that I'll really protect them."
Using force in exchange for the support of the Wastelanders sounded very fair, but the problem was that if they were really in danger, would the Wastelanders really be willing to take the risk?
After Anna translated Gao Qi's words, the leading Desolate Man was surprised. He looked at Gao Qi carefully, then nodded and extended his hand to Gao Qi.
Gao Qi knew that this man was definitely not young because he was used to shaking hands to make a deal. Moreover, he had the courage to talk to a paranormal as an equal.
After the two catastrophes, human civilization must have regressed. Those who grew up in the Wasteland rarely had the habit of shaking hands because the environment they grew up in didn't allow them to do so.
Gao Qi shook hands with the leading Desolate Man. The Desolate Man in front of him had a strong body. When he shook hands, his strength was very strong. Moreover, there were thick calluses on his right index finger and the web between his thumb and forefinger, indicating that this man was a very frequent shooter.
"His name is Mark Jewel. Next to him is his son, Hart Jewel. He said that he's very happy to meet you."
Gao Qi now knew that the leading Desolate Man was called Mark, but he didn't want to say his name. He just nodded and let go of his hand. With a calm face, he said, "Now we can go in. Let him lead the way."
Mark led the way in front, and Gao Qi and the rest followed him into the Desolate Man's village.
Under Mark's shouts, the Desolate people who had been hiding appeared one after another. They maintained a distance of more than ten meters from Gao Qi. Although there were both men and women, even the women looked very valiant.
Gao Qi suddenly asked Niu Lidong, who was beside him, "What should I do next?"
Niu Lidong thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. My brother is a paranormal, so our family dared to move out of the mountain. But if we don't have a paranormal, the other Desolate Men will definitely not be polite to us."
If Gao Qi wanted to enter this Desolate Man's village as a conqueror, then he should show his absolute strength and kill a few more people.
However, Gao Qi didn't want to appear as a conqueror, but he also knew that if he didn't show these Desolate Men how powerful he was, it was very likely that these Desolate Men would covet his things. After all, they had lived together for a long time, and it was very easy to kill a paranormal.
If a paranormal rashly entered a Desolate Man's village, it would inevitably lead to a situation where everyone was on guard against each other.
How could he quickly integrate into this village? At least he wouldn't have to worry about his own safety. Gao Qi thought for a long time and suddenly said to Mark, "Are there any exotic beasts near you? Have you been attacked by any exotic beasts? "
After Anna translated Gao Qi's words, Mark was surprised at first, but soon became excited.
"He said there are. Are you looking for exotic beasts?"
Although there was a language barrier and he needed Anna to translate, Gao Qi still nodded politely to Mark and said with a smile, "I just want to clear out all the exotic beasts that are a threat, and hunt for some energy cores while I'm at it."
After Anna translated Gao Qi's words, Mark immediately became excited. He came in front of Gao Qi again and extended his hand to Gao Qi.
Gao Qi was a little confused. He shook Mark's hand again and watched as Mark talked a lot. Then he heard Anna say, "He said you're an exotic beast hunter. Why didn't you say so earlier? They welcome exotic beast hunters very much. He's willing to take you to hunt exotic beasts. There's a herd of exotic beasts nearby. They're suffering a lot and are considering moving to another place to take refuge."
Gao Qi understood. Then he knew that John had unintentionally helped him again.
John was in the City of Angels, which wasn't too far from here. Moreover, John had already organized a team to hunt exotic beasts for energy cores. Judging from Mark's expression, those exotic beast hunters should have already visited this place.
Thinking about it carefully, Gao Qi felt that he really fit the image of an exotic beast hunter. No wonder Mark immediately connected them to exotic beast hunters when he heard him mention exotic beasts.
With a suitable identity and a suitable excuse, it would be much easier to blend into the Desolate Man. So after Gao Qi understood the situation, he immediately smiled at Mark and said, "That's right, we're exotic beast hunters."
