Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 288 [Yen Nan]

"what"

Bart laughed when he heard what the other party said. He shook his head and said, "I would like to be a member of the Yenan clan. How comfortable it would be to have a powerful person protecting me. But unfortunately, my family members are all stubborn."

"But there's nothing we can do about it, right?" Bart tapped his chest, "After all, we are family."

Song Shi nodded.

He pulled out his gun and fired a shot into the distance. A stream of red-gold flames broke through the air and landed on the ground. With a bang, it turned into a stream of fire that rose several meters into the sky like surging magma. From a distance, it looked like a high-explosive bomb exploding.

It was not until flames shot up into the sky that the three men realized what had happened, and the two men beside Bart suddenly drew their guns.

"I have no problem with Ye Nan. It's not too late for you to admit it now." Song Shi turned the gun around and put it back on his waist casually: "But if you continue to play the game of hiding your identity - in a place like the wasteland, what does 'hiding your identity' mean, and what consequences will it lead to? I don't need to say more, right?"

Snap——

As soon as the sound of guns was heard, Bart reacted and forcibly pressed down the muzzle of his companion's gun: "Calm down!"

"—My bad! Sorry!"

Glancing at the blazing fire in the distance, Bart clasped his hands together and said in a deep voice: "Sorry! But we really have no ill intentions! You also said that this is in the wasteland after all!"

He took a deep breath and spoke word by word, "You guessed right. Yes, we are indeed the Rangers of Ye Nan."

"That's right, let me ask you a question." Song Shi suddenly knocked on Vansta: "Do you like this car?"

Bart was startled.

However, a few seconds later, the man next to him named "Qilang" realized something and his pupils suddenly shrank.

He took a step forward: "I"

"The ability to conceal the look in your eyes needs improvement."

Song Shi commented that the Vansta had not activated the camouflage module, and it was in its original luxurious appearance. After seeing the car, this "Seventh Man" showed a brief resentment. Although it was well concealed, how could it be hidden from himself?

Then, Qilang, whose heart tightened, heard the other party speaking slowly again.

"Would you be happier if I told you that I stole this car from the company?"

······
Half an hour later.

A large wind-eroded rock face in the backlight.

Bart stuffed a piece of solid fuel into the folding stove, and a bright flame rose, bringing some warmth.

"The temperature in this area is very low at night, so it's much more comfortable to roast by the fire." Bart explained, and then paused: "But, maybe you don't need it?"

"Guess what?"

Song Shi glanced at the folding furnace, and a red-gold flame emerged silently, turning into a stream of fire, drawing a "circle" with a radius of four meters on the ground with everyone as the center. The temperature of the environment rose rapidly, and finally settled at a warm level.

Seeing this, Bart chuckled and said nothing more. He just took out the compressed food blocks from the trunk of the motorcycle, set up a pot, and started cooking.

The other two lowered their heads, sat silently, and said nothing, obviously leaving the negotiation rights to Bart.

——Tricky.

Bart was cooking with great concentration, seemingly too busy to speak, but his mind was racing with thoughts.

His skills were definitely not bad. With the first-level [Transcendence] psychic power and a fairly good implant configuration, he could defeat an ordinary third-level unit. Even with the assistance of two companions, he might be able to kill the latter.

But the opponent's strength, just the part that was shown, was clearly beyond his own.

A pistol shot out a power comparable to a high-explosive bomb. Flame, [Dayuan]? I'm afraid that in the second ring, this young-looking guy in front of me can also be considered a master.

Fortunately, the other party did not show any malicious intent for the time being.
The initiative is definitely not going to be taken back, so just deal with it for now.

"Well, let me ask you a question." Bart finally finished fiddling with the stew pot and looked up. "I want to know how you figured out our identities. Of course, it's okay if you don't answer. I just can't help being curious."

While Bart and others were pondering Song Shi, Song Shi was also observing the former.

A three-man team, two members specializing in force, and a technician responsible for equipment maintenance and use. A very standard configuration for the Yenan Rangers.

After hearing Bart's words, Song Shi said simply: "Temperament."

"Although there are no identical individuals in theory, the same occupation, the same environment, and the same growth experience can bring about 'similar' temperaments. Your appearance is disguised well, but your temperament is not very similar to that of a wanderer."

"But there are indeed signs of long-term running of wasteland, so the only people I can think of are rangers."

"What a temperament." Bart swallowed the other person's words in his heart and smiled: "This is the first time I have heard of such an explanation."

This time, Song Shi didn't say anything.

He looked at the three of them for a few seconds, and suddenly asked, "What kind of person do you call him?"

Bart was genuinely surprised.

He exchanged a glance with the other two who had been silent. The former's expression gradually became strange, and he actually said with some sincerity: "You know Ye Nan quite well."

"Marvin and I are both 'patriarchs.'" Bart said, "Qilang is the 'president.'"

"Clan leader?"

Song Shi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then you didn't completely lie to me at the beginning. At least your grandfather's generation were real wanderers."

Long before the Seven Lands War, there were groups of people who pursued anarchism, gave up their identities and settlements, and chose to wander outside the territories of various countries. They were the prototypes of today's "wanderers".

After the Seven Lands War began, the flames of war spread across the world, cities were razed to the ground, regimes collapsed, and in order to stay away from the war as much as possible and seek survival, more and more people became wanderers.

When the number of wanderers reaches a certain level, they form a "tribe". They call each other family members and unite with non-blood family ties. Different tribes have different cultures and systems, but the leaders of these tribes are basically called "patriarchs".

Bart waved his hand: "That was decades ago. Now we can only pay homage to it verbally. If my family members were to start wandering again, few of them would be happy."

"By the way." Bart's tone became serious: "It doesn't matter to us wanderers. You can call the patriarch whatever you want. But in front of some guys, especially those religious people, you can't call the patriarch by his name - that's an insult to their 'Pope' and 'Saint'."

"Thank you for reminding."

Song Shi laughed lazily: "I will pay attention."

If we calculate the time, this generation of Lord Ye Nan has only been on the throne for two or three years?
However, judging from the expressions of Bart and others, they already have great respect for him.

业南
The Seven Lands War of the past was a war that caused the sky to collapse and the earth to split, rivers of blood to flow, and countries and forces to fall apart. Every day, someone woke up one night to find that he had become useless and had become a person who had lost his country and his family.

It was on this fragmented land that the first Lord of Yenan was born.

He rose to power with his supreme military power, gathered people who had lost their countries and families along the way, accepted various defeated forces, and then conquered and recaptured the territory, and grew into one of the ultimate winners of the Seven Lands War.

After the Seven Lands War, relying on his unparalleled reputation, he forcibly integrated the various forces under his command and announced the establishment of [Yenan].

But even the [Pan-Eastern Continent Federation], an integrated body of regimes living in the same region and with cultural consensus, has many internal contradictions. And the very different forces, countries and races that make up [Yenan] are more than twice as difficult to integrate as the Pan-Eastern Continent Federation.
Even some of these forces had historical grudges against each other, but because they both became losers and their countries were destroyed and their families were ruined, they were forced to come over and accept the leadership of the Lord of Ye Nan.

The situation was so complicated that even with the experience of fighting together during the Seven Lands War, it was still not enough.

Far from enough.

——There must be something to bind all the people and forces together.

So, the original Lord of Ye Nan made his choice.

He is an emperor and a president, a pope and a patriarch. Saint, marshal and khan are all aspects of his titles.

He is the most exalted King of Kings and the Chief President. He was crowned as the Maharaja and also bears the title of Saint and the position of Speaker.

From then on, the fragmented people had a common and only leader, and under his banner, they embarked on the road to the future.

[Yenan] is far more dispersed than the Pan-Eastern Continental Union.
It is also far better than the Pan-Eastern Continental Federation.

More cohesive.
