Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 107 The Most Precious Equipment

Al snapped his fingers and said:

"Bingo, we will be walking for more than 200 miles, and we will be at risk of being attacked by African buffalo, hippopotamus, and black mambas on the way. Those damn blood-sucking insects are more likely to infect us with dengue fever and Japanese encephalitis."

"Of course none of this matters. What matters is that there is simply no way to get you to your destination within seventy-two hours as you requested."

Gong Tianwu said:

"Based on what I have learned so far, what you said is true."

Al breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"So, my team used some rather drastic measures when facing Mr. Bosen just now. You should be able to understand that, right?"

Gong Tianwu said very straightforwardly:

"What means? Didn't you two get along very well? And I will remember to remind my father to reimburse you for the additional 9,000 US dollars in rental fees."

Hearing this, the taciturn Mogansha immediately whistled and said excitedly:

"Hey, Allen! Your father can transfer the rental fee directly to my account, because you saw with your own eyes that I played a decisive role in persuading Mr. Berson."

Gong Tianwu said:

"Of course, there is no doubt about that."

Mogansha immediately smiled, pursed his thick lips and whistled:
"Haha, I love you, Allen. I love China. I love dumplings. I love pedicures. I love hot pot. I decided to find a black-haired girlfriend after I finish this task!"

***
After flying for an hour and a half, the helicopter landed successfully at its destination. Unfortunately, the place had become a ruin, with only some traces of human life left.

Mogansha looked around and said:

"This was an Aboriginal camp. Oh, look at these rock paintings! There's a sun with a beard. It must be a group of Bushmen."

"But they obviously left in a hurry. They didn't even take the clay pots for cooking food or the idols for worship. It's obvious that they were in big trouble."

Gong Tianwu started to check around the collapsed shacks at this time. After a few minutes, he said simply:
"Go west. The target I'm looking for is forty kilometers away."

Mogansha was surprised and said:

"Wait a minute, how are you sure? What if it's not there? What if you made a mistake?"

Gong Tianwu shrugged and looked directly at Al.

Al sighed and said:
"Okay, but I have to make one thing clear. The agricultural helicopter Mr. Bourne bought is an old product from 27 years ago. Now the main fuel tank is almost empty, and there is only one auxiliary fuel tank."

"So if we don't want to walk back to the Bourne Farm, we have to return immediately regardless of whether we get anything at the next point."

Gong Tianwu nodded and said:

"I have no problem."

So very quickly, the helicopter took off again and landed in an open space.

In the temporary camp not far away, a group of local natives were looking over here with wide eyes and nervous expressions, holding wooden spears and bows and arrows in their hands.

However, facing this primitive weapon, both Al and Mogansha seemed very nervous and hid directly behind the helicopter, as if they were facing the muzzle of a gun. Al even scolded sternly:

"Hey! Allen, come here, come to me!"

Mogansha also said nervously:
"That's right! Don't underestimate their weapons. They are filled with poison. If they scratch your skin, you will collapse to the ground and lose control of your bowels and bladder. You may even die before you have a chance to have your last erection."

However, at this time, Gong Tianwu suddenly shouted a few times over there, using a strange language that neither Mogansha nor Ai'er could understand.

Of course, Gong Tianwu actually didn’t understand it either, it was Kang who asked him to repeat it.

However, the reaction from the other side was obviously eased. At least their weapons were put down. Soon, an old native man was supported and walked out. He looked very respected.

Gong Tianwu said to the two of them:
"Okay, take out the gifts and we can go over."

The gifts brought to these natives were not valuable. A few large bags of salt, a dozen lighters, and a large bag of needlework and knives could easily make them praise you.

There were even several young women with naked upper bodies who surrounded Mogansha and Al with smiles on their faces. Their purpose was very direct: to obtain their DNA genetic material.

After all, even the indigenous people knew that marriage between close relatives was very harmful, and travelers from afar could help them give birth to healthy children.

It is worth mentioning that the grassland and Fusang have followed this principle for a long time, and it was very common to treat guests with wives, including Temujin.

Gong Tianwu slowly came to the old man.

You can see that he is very weak, his face is full of traces of time, his skin is carved into a deep brown by wind, sand and sun, and every wrinkle hides stories and wisdom from the past, as if intertwined with the history of this ancient land.

You can hear that people around him call him "Chaka", which should be a respectful title.

The old man Chaka waved away the support of the people around him, stood up weakly but stubbornly, looked at Gong Tianwu and said in a hoarse voice:

"Are you the messenger that the gods spoke of?" (Translation: The original version is similar to Zulu)

Gong Tianwu nodded and said:
"Yes, he was very dissatisfied with your performance, so he had no choice but to let me come over."

Chaka said painfully:

"You don't understand. I have tried my best and dedicated everything I have to the great god, but I don't know how to satisfy his requirements at all."

Gong Tianwu sighed and said:

"This has nothing to do with you. This is fate. You have done well."

At this moment, turbid old tears finally flowed from Chaka's eyes, and then he said in a trembling voice:

“Thank you for your comfort.”

Gong Tianwu shook his head and said:
"I'm not trying to comfort you, I'm telling you the truth. As someone chosen by them, sometimes I even feel that it's not luck, but a disaster!"

Chaka wanted to say something at this time, but his master could not wait any longer. Suddenly, a dim light slowly emerged between his eyebrows!
Only Gong Tianwu, who was very close, could see that in the light there was a mysterious and ancient fragment the size of a palm, which seemed to be much larger than Kang's original body.

However, its appearance is very bad. It looks as if it will decay at any time and then turn into dust and be blown away by the wind.

With this appearance, not to mention being compared with the current Kang, even the ordinary appearance of Kang before is far inferior.

But this is also because of its bad luck. When it exploded and disintegrated, it fell into such a remote place.

The people here are estimated to migrate within a few hundred kilometers throughout their lives. They will meet no more than a thousand strangers in their lifetime and are far away from civilized society. So what is the point of finding a pious ruler?
At this time, a ball of brilliant golden light appeared between Gong Tianwu's eyebrows, but the brightness was completely different.

After witnessing all this, the ball of light at the center of Chaka's eyebrows flew over without hesitation, merged with Kang, and then sank into the center of Gong Tianwu's eyebrows.

After witnessing all this, Chaka looked both lonely and relieved. After staring at Gong Tianwu for a long while, he began to reach out and feel around his waist.

Gong Tianwu looked over subconsciously and found that the old man had a variety of accessories hanging around his waist:
There are exquisitely carved bone ornaments, colorful beads, and eagle feathers that symbolize courage and strength. As the old man strokes them, they gently collide, making pleasant sounds, like ancient ballads, echoing in the open wilderness.

Soon, Chaka found what he wanted, which was a carved bone ornament with a very special shape, like a sun with a beard. Chaka then held the bone ornament solemnly and handed it over. His hands were covered with calluses, but they were shaking violently:
"I am too incompetent and have failed the expectations of the gods."

"The only thing I can do is to bless you, respected messenger, and hope that the great Hur can illuminate the road ahead of you."

Gong Tianwu could sense the piety and sincerity in Chaka's words, so he bowed very solemnly and said:

"Bless you too, my friend! You and your people will be blessed by the gods."

Then he took the bone ornament that looked like graffiti, but the next second his eyes widened in surprise, because a hint suddenly appeared on his retina:
"You have obtained the soul ornament of another ruler. Since it was given to you voluntarily and not plundered, this ornament has no negative effects and the corresponding bonus is increased."

Gong Tianwu looked at the bone ornament in his palm with some disbelief, and found that it was already shining with a faint red light in his palm, as if it was condensed from blood. Then its properties appeared in front of him:
Hur statue
Type: Soul Accessory

Description: This is an ornament given by another ruler. It contains his spirit, piety, and faith. Therefore, it can be worn by the soul. As long as the soul is immortal, it will continue to play a role no matter how many times you reincarnate.

Favor (Passive Ability):

Permanently increases your True Feather Heart Technique (and subsequent upgraded secret techniques) by 1 additional level.

However, this bonus will only take effect after reaching the level of First Glimpse.

This improvement will not cause changes in the difficulty and experience of upgrading the True Feather Heart Technique. If the technique is upgraded during this period, this bonus will still be valid and will be upgraded one level from the original level.

Soul Blessing (Active Ability): After each reincarnation, you can use this skill to bless your new body, allowing the new body's certain basic attributes to be permanently and randomly improved, but the total improvement points will not exceed 15 points.

After seeing this description, Gong Tianwu couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wow!" This bone ornament may seem unremarkable, but it is the most powerful equipment he has ever obtained, bar none!
But if you think about it carefully, to get this thing, it is equivalent to killing the rest of the fragment holders, which is also incredibly difficult.

I was also lucky. Kang happened to get a good thing like the Bu Tian Liquid, and my good friend (fragment) who was familiar with him was doing very poorly and almost desperate, so it was my turn to pick up such a leak.

Just when Gong Tianwu was distracted, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and found that Chaka in front of him had slowly sat down on the ground with a peaceful face, his eyes closed and his hands hanging down.

Witnessing this scene, Gong Tianwu was shocked. He reached out to feel his breath and found that he was dead!
Just when he was at a loss, the members of Chaka's tribe came up and saluted him one after another, but they did not look sad, as if they had expected this moment to come.

However, this is also the norm for most ethnic groups in Africa. After all, they are in war all the time, and malnutrition, parasites, and highly infectious diseases are seriously affecting their lives.

The extremely scarce medical resources can even make a cold fatal, so death is not a big fear for them.

Gong Tianwu remembered seeing an interview online in which a reporter talked to a black woman in her twenties and told her that AIDS was very dangerous and that she must take protective measures for herself.

But the woman asked in surprise: Why should I be afraid of a disease that will kill me in more than ten years? The reporter was speechless.

Looking at all this, Gong Tianwu sighed slightly and said to Al beside him:

"Mr. Al, how much is your price for this escort order? Can you tell me?"

Al smiled and said:

"Your father placed the order through an old friend of mine, and the order was not easy, so it cost thirty thousand dollars."

Gong Tianwu nodded and said:
"I can see that you are a very dedicated person, so I would like to entrust you with a new order next, is that okay?"

Ai'er and Mogansha next to him looked at each other and said:

"We happen to have some free time in the past half month, so we should have time."

Gong Tianwu said:

"This order is divided into two parts. The first part is to deliver some medicine, guns and daily necessities to this tribe. The second part is to help them solve a problem."

After hearing this, Mogansha laughed and said:
"I like trouble because I'm really good at solving it!"

Gong Tianwu glanced at the Chaka people next to him and said:
"It's clear that they have been on a very hasty migration and the proportion of adult males in the tribe is significantly lower."

"So I guess there must be a powerful force that is constantly tracking and attacking them. I need your help to solve this problem."

Mogansha said:

"In Africa, it is quite common for tribes to attack each other, and they are often caused by trivial things, such as your horse ran into my pasture to eat grass, or your dog bit one of my chickens to death."

"But even though the things that triggered the conflict were small, the noise they caused in the end was quite big, and it could easily turn into a very brutal massacre!"

After hearing what Mogansha said, Al nodded slightly and said:
"Okay, we'll take this order. It's also $30,000, which includes the cost of purchasing supplies for this tribe."

Gong Tianwu said:

"No problem, let's go."

After getting on the helicopter, Gong Tianwu looked back into his sea of ​​consciousness and found that there was a ball of golden light shining in the center of his sea of ​​consciousness. It should be the two guys merging. He did not bother them and went about his own business.

***
There is no need to elaborate on the process of returning home. After arriving home, Gong Tianwu was pulled by the ear by his mother and scolded, saying that he was not at all worry-free. Gong Tianwu had no way to deal with this and could only smile bitterly and spread his hands.

Next, Gong Tianwu will solve the big problem facing his younger brother:
A girl named Ali who sells zhenduobing has a flower-guarding messenger who speaks rudely to Gong Mingzhen several times and even raises his fist to threaten to beat him. The key point is that this boy is Ali's cousin.

However, although this small conflict between young people seems very tricky, it is not too easy for the knowledgeable Gong Tianwu.

He then made two phone calls and easily obtained the relevant information, and firmly refused help from others.

After all, once the Gong family's resources are used to suppress such a young man, it would be easy to go too far and cause a catastrophe to his entire family, which is completely unnecessary.

Then Gong Tianwu changed his hairstyle, dressed up a little, came to Ali's stall again, greeted her with a smile, and ordered a glass of cendol.

Facing Gong Tianwu's greeting at this moment, Ali's face suddenly turned slightly red and she didn't dare to look over there.

But Gong Tianwu, the old fox, just sat next to her and chatted with her with a smile.

He caught onto the little girl's love of scenery, curiosity, and traveling, and soon the two began to interact with each other.

But at this time, my cousin showed up in a very inappropriate way. He directly took a bottle of Japanese marble soda and put it in front of Gong Tianwu with a loud "bang". Then he looked at him with a provocative look and said:
"Didn't I tell you not to bother Ali?"

As the fellow spoke, he reached out to slap Gong Tianwu's face, but Gong Tianwu grabbed his wrist with his backhand, pinching his pulse like an iron clamp, causing his face to distort instantly. However, the young man's reserve managed to prevent him from crying out in pain.

Gong Tianwu smiled and pulled him aside. The two of them were still arm in arm and looked like they had a very good relationship. At this time, Gong Tianwu said nonchalantly:
"Brother D? Have you paid back the 500 yuan you stole from the newsstand uncle? You knelt in front of him and promised to pay it back within a month, didn't you?"

My cousin’s face turned pale instantly. When he was hanging out in the streets, his nickname was Brother D.

Last week, this guy was short of money and stole 500 dollars from a newsstand near Chinatown. Two days later, the owner came to his door and threatened to call the police, the school and his parents. He was so scared that he knelt down on the spot and begged for mercy.

But my cousin thought he had kept this matter very secret, so how did this fat guy in front of him know about it?
Gong Tianwu casually slapped two hundred yuan on his face, then slapped his face and said:

"Now you have two choices. The first choice is to take the two hundred dollars and get out as far as you can."

"The second option is that I tell everyone about you. Not only the 500 yuan, but also about you stealing the underwear from the girl in the next class."

My cousin started trembling all over and didn't even take the two hundred yuan. He looked at Gong Tianwu as if he had seen a ghost and turned around and ran away.

Gong Tianwu smiled complacently, went to Ali to order some cendol ice, and then continued chatting. This time, no one came to interrupt him.
