Silin and Huimao stayed in the forest for three days, and they had a general understanding of the rules of survival in the forest.
Bio-soldiers and Direbeasts divided the world, but there were different classifications among them. There were a few levels of Bio-soldiers. The ones that Silin had encountered before were all beginner-level Bio-soldiers. The higher the level of the Bio-soldier, the darker the color of their skin. During the past three days, Cillin had encountered a high-level bio-soldier. His skin color was very dark, and he could clearly sense that his skin was incredibly tough.
The same arrow could completely sink into a beginner-level Bio-soldier, but it could only break a layer of skin on a high-level Bio-soldier. It couldn't do any real damage. So, after Silin encountered the high-level Bio-soldier, he began to think of ways to modify the crossbow.
As for food, Silin ate some fruits and plants. Just like Huimao, he ate raw meat. Silin had experienced this a long time ago, and he didn't have any psychological or physical resistance to it.
The slightest heat could attract a lot of insects and beasts. Those things were like moths, and when they saw a source of heat, they would rush toward it.
It was true that many of the machines in the forest had hidden dangers. So, during the three days that Silin had been here, he hadn't seen any signs of gun attacks. He believed that the people who came here like him didn't use guns often, either.
"Silin, a few beginner-level Bio-soldiers are coming," Huimao, who was lying on a tree, contacted Silin.
Silin looked over and saw a few brown shadows in the distance, but they weren't coming this way. Silin was still quietly waiting. But the crossbow was ready, and the arrowhead was coated with some poison.
Silin had obtained the poison from some plants in the forest. Silin had been experimenting for the past three days. He tested the poisons he obtained from the plants on the Bio-soldiers and some Direbeasts, but most of the poisons that were fatal to ordinary people didn't have much of an effect on these creatures. In the end, only two poisons had any effect on them. These two types of toxins were the same as the other types of toxins. They belonged to the category of neurotoxins, but the difference was that these two types of toxins had different methods of action.
In reality, most of the poisons Cillin had tried were not very effective against the wild beasts. The main reason was that most of the plants in the forest contained toxins, and the wild beasts would sometimes eat the fruits of these plants. As a result, they gradually developed a resistance to the toxins. As for the bio-soldiers, they were the same. However, it was not that they had developed resistance, but that it was a matter of genetics.
The two poisons that were effective could inhibit their polysynaptic reflex arcs, interfere with neuromuscular conduction, and cause their muscles to relax.
The Bio-soldiers had very developed muscles, and their explosive power was very strong. Although this kind of poison could not directly make the Bio-soldiers lose their ability to fight, it could serve as a buffer and buy more time for Silin to deal with it.
Suddenly, Huimao's ears twitched. "A large number of bio-soldiers are coming! There are even high-level ones among them! "
Silin frowned. Why had so many bio-soldiers suddenly appeared? These bio-soldiers did not have group consciousness like normal people. Most of the time, they were more scattered, and sometimes they would even kill each other. But what was going on now?
Silin could also hear the commotion, and they were moving very quickly, as if they were chasing something.
The steps of the bio-soldiers were relatively heavy to begin with, and this was especially obvious when they ran. If one was like this, then a dozen or so of them gathered together, the commotion would be very loud. Moreover, there were also other wandering bio-soldiers joining them, so the group grew larger and larger, and the commotion became louder and louder.
The bio-soldiers that Silin saw had clearly heard the commotion, and they were looking for the source of the commotion.
Finally, Silin found the culprit who had caused this commotion.
In front of nearly twenty bio-soldiers, there was a person who looked rather thin and weak, running as fast as he could. He was moving very quickly, or else he would have been caught by the bio-soldiers.
And in front of the group of nearly twenty bio-soldiers, there were two bio-soldiers whose skin color was clearly much darker. They were high-level bio-soldiers.
Silin was puzzled. How did this person get involved with so many bio-soldiers? And he had provoked more than one high-level bio-soldier.
The person running in front of the group of bio-soldiers seemed to be in a very bad shape, but he seemed to be in good spirits. Silin could not help but admire this. Although he did not know how long he had been running, it seemed like he could continue for a long time.
Because of this group of bio-soldiers, there was no need to worry about the Direbeasts. When the Direbeasts saw the large group of bio-soldiers, they would obediently avoid them.
The person and the bio-soldiers were getting closer and closer, but according to their original route, they would miss the place where Silin was hiding. At the closest, they were about twenty meters away. Silin did not choose to run away. Based on his understanding of the bio-soldiers over the past few days, the bio-soldiers would not be able to discover him. If he left rashly and caused some commotion, he would definitely be implicated. Silin did not want to provoke so many bio-soldiers, not to mention that there were two high-level bio-soldiers among them.
Just as Silin was wondering what this person had done to the bio-soldiers to trigger such a large group of people to chase after him, the group of people was less than fifty meters away from Silin.
Suddenly, the person made a sharp turn and ran directly toward Silin. Silin's eyelid twitched, and he had a bad feeling.
The person had clearly noticed Silin as he ran.
Trying to drag me down with him?
Silin quickly packed up his things and gestured to Huimao to get ready to run. Now was not the time to deal with that person.
The person ran like the wind, and when he got close to Silin, he looked at Silin with a look of exasperation and said in a low voice, "Do you want to die? Hurry up and run! "
Silin: "…"
If it were not for the fact that this person's eyes did not contain any malice, and instead were clearly filled with worry, Silin would definitely have strangled this guy to death. If it weren't for this bastard, would they have been discovered by those bio-soldiers?!
"Hurry up, hurry up, follow me …" Before the person could finish, he realized that Silin was running a bit faster than him.
"Don't run into the dense forest!" the person yelled anxiously.
Silin curled his lips. Do you think I don't know?!
Thus, the number of people chasing after the bio-soldiers increased from one to two.
Silin had already memorized the terrain of this place, and Silin had even set up traps in a few places, just in case. However, he had only set up those traps for a day, and this "what if" had come.
Silin ran in front, and the person saw that Silin was not running in the direction of the dense forest, so he followed.
When they reached the side of a hill, Silin ran in an arc, and then made a small turn. The person following Silin also ran in the same direction as Silin.
As the person ran, there were banging sounds coming from behind. The person did not look back, but Silin did not stop, so he did not stop either.
With the delay from the traps, Silin left the bio-soldiers further and further behind. Finally, after confirming that he had completely shaken off the bio-soldiers, Silin stopped in a small hidden cave.
This cave was found by Silin on the first day. At night, Silin and Huimao rested here. The stone around the cave was very hard. As long as the main entrance was blocked, the Direbeasts would not be able to enter easily. To be on the safe side, Silin set up a lot of camouflage around the cave, and he also used several kinds of tree branches to cover up his smell. He also cut out two exits in the cave, which could only accommodate one person at a time. Even if the large Direbeasts found these two exits, they would not be able to enter. As for the bio-soldiers, their muscles were so developed that they were directly enlarged, so it was difficult for them to enter.
The person followed Silin here, and as soon as he arrived, he rolled on the hay.
"Tired … I'm so tired!"
Silin originally planned to use the knife to interrogate the person, but it seemed that the person did not feel Silin's hostility. He just rolled on the hay that Silin had used as a temporary bed, and then fell asleep.
Looking at the person, Silin had no idea what he was thinking. Even when Silin placed the knife next to the person's neck artery, the person did not react.
Heartbeat, blood flow, pulse, everything indicated that if this person was not an experienced sly fox who was skilled in psychological tactics, then he was an idiot.
Silin believed that it was the latter.
Huimao walked around the person and sniffed. "Other than the smell of some plants, there is no other smell. Besides, there is nothing on him except for a dagger."
"He also knows how to use the smell of plants to cover up his smell. But what kind of person is this guy? Logically speaking, the people who were recommended for the test should not be at this level."
Silin took the dagger that the person was carrying. The quality of the dagger was very good. It was sharp, light, and resistant to corrosion. It was very suitable for this person.
"Should I kick him out?" Huimao asked.
"Ignore him for now. Let's take a break."
Silin did not feel any malice from this person. Silin had always believed in his intuition, but this person gave Silin a feeling of helplessness. There were always some people who thought that they had done a good deed, but they did not know that the effect was the opposite.
This person looked very simple and did not have many thoughts. Like Huimao, he did not know how to lie. Moreover, in addition to running fast, his physical strength was not good. In terms of combat power, it was estimated that he was trash. And what puzzled Silin was that from the person's clothes, he had at least stayed in the forest for more than ten days. In other words, he came earlier than Silin.
There were many scratches on his clothes. Some were from plants, and some were from animals, but this person was still alive. The dark circles under his eyes were very heavy. It was likely that he had not slept well. That was why he could sleep so soundly after running in a sorry state.
Finally, after sleeping for two hours, the man finally woke up.
He was still a little groggy after waking up. He stared at Silin and Huimao for a moment before letting out an "ah". It looked like he remembered who he was.
"Who are you?" Silin asked.
The person combed through his messy hair before answering Silin, "My name is Neo."
Neo was very angry when he saw that Silin was holding his dagger. "I saved you, but you stole my dagger!"
"If you hadn't rushed over, those bio-soldiers wouldn't have noticed me at all." Silin had no intention of returning the dagger to Neo.
Seeing that Silin's tone was serious and his expression did not look like he was lying, Neo's eyebrows knitted together. "Is that so? But at that time, I really wanted to warn you, so I ran over. "
Silin put on a doubtful expression.
"You don't believe me? Look at my face and you will find the answer. "
"Dark circles under your eyes?"
"No, it's sincerity!" Neo said seriously.
"Your sincerity is so deep that all I can see is the shallow dark circles under your eyes."
"That's your problem. Let me tell you, the truth can often be seen on our faces. You can see a lot from a single expression, a single look in our eyes, and even the contraction of our pupils …" Neo began his explanation and gave an example to prove it. "Take you for example. You look a little angry right now, and you even seem to be a little violent. But what I don't understand is why you're angry. Is it because of a misunderstanding? Also, let me give you a reminder. According to our investigations, workplace violence is closely related to domestic violence … "
"This isn't a workplace," Silin interrupted him.
"To me, this is!"
"Why did you follow me here?" Silin asked.
"In fact, I think that following you will give me a better guarantee of safety. Based on the situation and your reaction at the time, I compared the safety probability of 'following you' and 'running away on my own'. The safety probability of following you is 12.26% higher than running away on my own."
"You're very conceited," Silin said.
"No, it's confidence. I've done a test, and I'm 2.1792 times more intelligent than the empire's average. "
"What test? The frequency at which your ears twitch? "Silin looked at Neo's ears, which had been twitching ever since he woke up.
"No, it's an IQ test."
Celine: "…" Is the reference for an IQ test a pig?
"Alright, Mister Neo with high IQ, may I ask why you were chased by those bio-soldiers?" Silin asked.
"Sigh, it's a long story." Neo looked very depressed when he said this. "You know, in this almost primitive environment, money is just a worldly possession. It's easy for knowledge to lag behind and need to be updated frequently. Only the food you eat belongs to you. "
"You mean it's for food?"
"Yes, I was looking for a kind of fruit. Unfortunately, I was discovered by those bio-soldiers with rock-like IQs."
"Then, Mister Neo with high IQ, may I ask if you're willing to tell me about the fruit you were looking for, and how you were chased by those rock-like bio-soldiers?"
"Of course," Neo answered honestly without any awkwardness.
