Chapter 385 Matryoshka [three]
Speaking of which, it is particularly easy to find a foundation in this world. Although humans on the ground now live the lives of the Middle Ages, underground still retains the most peak technology of human beings centuries ago.
Of course, its scale is definitely not comparable to that of the past, and all these things have been concealed by the foundation... After all, if normal people know that humans still retain the fragments of technology now, then survivors will attach their last hope to the residual technological power regardless of everything.
They will snatch and resist. After all, no one can understand why the power of technology is only in the hands of the foundation. They also need more powerful weapons and convenient life. If this continues, splitting will be a matter of time, and materials will be wasted in just a few years.
It’s like throwing a few pieces of bread among a group of refugees who are about to die of starvation. It can’t be considered a rescuer at all, and it will only provoke the most hysterical battle.
Along the way, Lu Yuan and Maori briefly explained the background of the world, and Maori's ability to accept it was still shocking. He almost didn't accept it in full in surprise. He even praised the foundation's approach. In his words, it was 'Although cruel, but reasonable.'
According to Maori's reasoning, the two of them moved towards a direction where the most likely place for survivors to gather. They must have encountered some dead bodies during the process, but dead bodies that were not controlled by anyone basically followed their instincts to wander around, and those who could hide were avoided. Those who bumped into them were temporarily solved by Lu Yuan.
However, as he walked, Lu Yuan and Maoli seemed to find something wrong.
Because they found that the number of dead bodies on the road was getting smaller and smaller, and they even found sporadic piles of broken corpses.
"Someone we have walked this path before." Maori came to this conclusion very simply.
"But why didn't we see any traces of anyone passing by when we came here?" Lu Yuan frowned and muttered.
Maori thought for a while: "These people have been covering up their traces along the way."
"Well, why do you cover up the traces? These dead bodies won't chase people by looking at footprints~" Lu Yuan said in wonder: "But it's good that there are people, at least we can find a gathering place for humans."
Maori didn't say anything, but nodded thoughtfully, and walked forward with Lu Yuan.
The road was very quiet. Although there were no traces of others walking, you could see dead bodies every distance, and even the largest one was more than 5 meters.
Lu Yuan and Maori's expressions became more and more serious. They were neither fools, so they felt that things seemed not simple.
Soon, another dead body appeared in sight. Unlike before, there were obvious traces of fighting around the corpse.
Maori Fu lowered his body and kneaded the soil on the ground with his fingers: "It didn't take long before those people even had no time to clean up the traces..."
As he was speaking, suddenly, Maori's voice came to an abrupt end.
Lu Yuan was stunned, turned around, and then he was surprised to see a dagger hanging in front of Maori's throat. The person holding the dagger was not very tall, so he could completely hide behind Maori and use his body to block himself. Lu Yuan could only see the other party wearing a wide robe swaying gently in the wind.
It's a hunter...
This was Lu Yuan's first thought, because apart from hunters, there should be few people who can get close to him so easily and do not make a slight sound.
"Don't be impulsive! We are living people!" Lu Yuan shouted immediately, putting his hands on his chest, indicating that he had no weapons.
However, the man was already hidden under the cloak, and the dagger in his hand was still hanging in front of Maori's neck, without any intention of communicating.
"I don't know who you are. We are just lost. We followed up little by little after seeing the dead body. We are not intentionally following you..." Lu Yuan was still explaining.
However, the next second, Maori's head suddenly turned to the side and put his neck close to the arms of the person behind him.
This is a very terrifying action, because if it is not done well, your throat may be cut open by a knife. However, if it succeeds, it will be difficult for the other party to threaten the hostage with a dagger as soon as possible due to joint reasons.
In the flash, Maori's body moved, his elbows quickly and forcefully hit the ribs of the person behind him. At the same time, his other hand clamped the other's arm, and his whole body suddenly lifted forward!
The guy behind him was like this, and he was swung into the air.
Speaking of which, Maori seemed to be very interested in the action of overshoulder falls. It may be that the person behind him was very suitable for overshoulder falls. Anyway, Lu Yuan watched the man get flew up by a huge force and hit the ground with a bang. Unfortunately, there was a protruding stone on the ground, so the roar was accompanied by a sound of bone shattering, which hurts.
This time, if it is an ordinary person, he should have completely lost his ability to move. However, the hunter is a hunter after all. The ability to endure pain that he has trained since childhood has not fainted. Instead, he stood up in an instant, and then flew to a safe area far away from Lu Yuan and the others.
Lu Yuan still raised his hand, sighing at the combat ability of Maori, and said, "Don't be nervous, we have no malicious intentions."
The hunter didn't speak, standing still, and between the gaps in the black robe, he could vaguely see the cold light of the dagger flashing.
"We are lost. Can you please take us to the nearest gathering place? If it is not the same as you go, it's better to point it in a direction." Lu Yuan said without any effort.
But the man still said nothing.
"Hiss... this guy is not a mute, right?" Lu Yuan couldn't help but mutter in his heart. He was about to say something else.
"Baji!"
He saw the hunter shaking his body awkwardly, and slapped it directly on the ground, unconscious.
"Uh..." Maori was also stunned: "Didn't you say that hunters are not powerful, and their qualities are comparable to those of super special forces?"
Lu Yuan was also puzzled. Logically speaking, even if Maori fell violently, it would not make a hunter faint.
He hurried over, came to the hunter, and pulled his cloak away.
It would be fine if it was not pulled open. After pulling it open, Lu Yuan was stunned... because, under the robe, there was a obviously tender face, which looked only in his teenage years at most, and was still a girl.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuan looked at the hand that had just touched the robe, which was covered with blood.
