Wizard: I have ten trillion nanomachines

Time flies, and before we knew it, dawn was breaking.

Host: Luo Kunlun

Vital signs: Out of danger

The nanomachines repaired the body overnight, finally restoring it to its former vitality.

At the same time, with his injuries healed and his muscles strengthened by nanomachines, Luo Lun's physical abilities also improved.

Physical fitness: 0.5 (1 for adult males)

This is not the limit of nanomachines, but the limit of nanomachines themselves.

Insufficient energy, and physical development reasons.

Nanomachines require energy to operate; any capability requires energy.

Its energy source is mainly derived from the breakdown of nutrients such as glucose in the body, which is converted into chemical energy, and the absorption of kinetic energy, which is converted into stored energy.

To maintain proper functioning, it is necessary to retain a certain amount of energy reserves.

As long as Luo Cang is well-fed and has enough energy from the nanomachines, his physical abilities will quickly and significantly improve through methods such as modifying muscles and bones and adjusting endocrine levels.

But in the bandit's den, not only did they have to do heavy labor, they also only had a little bit of black bread mixed with sand and a few mouthfuls of murky cold water every day.

Under such conditions, even without the harsh winter, the serfs would not have survived for long.

"We must find a way to escape from here!" This was Luo Kunlun's top priority.

"Hey! Get up if you're not dead! If you don't work, I'll throw you dogs to feed the wolves!"

A hoarse roar accompanied by a cold wooden stick struck a hapless man hard on the back, causing him to gasp in pain and force himself to open his eyes.

Hearing the commotion, the other sleeping serfs also woke up.

A bandit wearing tattered leather armor, with a fierce face and a scar on his face, stood at the entrance of the cave, staring at them menacingly, his wooden stick still covered in snow.

"Hey! You skinny monkey over there! What are you still lying there for?!"

A harsh shout interrupted Luo Kunlun's thoughts. Immediately afterward, he looked up sharply and saw the burly bandit holding a wooden stick, glaring at him fiercely.

The bandit had a curved knife hanging from his waist, and a scar running from his brow bone to his jaw made him look particularly ferocious.

In Luo Lun's memory, the bandit known as "Scarface" was one of the people who guarded them.

This breed of dog is the most ruthless.

A few days ago, a serf had his leg chopped off by him and was left to freeze to death in the snow.

The original owner also suffered a lot of beatings from him. If he was not careful, he would be hit with a stick. Several of the injuries on his body came from this bastard!

"Get up and chop wood and fetch water! If you don't chop enough, you won't get anything to eat!" Scarface roared.

Then, the emaciated serfs, their eyes vacant and their faces pale, rose like zombies and silently picked up the tools on the ground, rusty axes and tattered hemp ropes, and so on.

No one dared to speak, or even look up at the bandits. Only the occasional cough and the clatter of tools colliding were particularly jarring in the empty cave.

Luo Kunlun staggered to his feet, then followed suit, lowered his head, picked up the not-so-sharp axe from the ground, and limped towards the outside of the nest.

As he passed Scarface, Lo Kunlun scanned him.

Physical fitness: 0.8

?

What's going on? Judging from Scarface's appearance, he's definitely a grown man, and a pretty ruthless one at that, but his physical strength isn't much higher than his!

"Wait a minute, the physical fitness standards for adult male nanomachines might be a little different from what I expected!"

This thing is considered high technology in modern society, and its physical fitness standards for adult males should also be the standards for modern people.

Scarface is just an "ancient person".

The difference in physical strength and height between adult men in ancient times and adult men in modern times is enormous.

I hadn't noticed it just now; Scarface seems to be only about 1.65 meters tall.

This is due to food and medical conditions.

The physical condition and height of people in ancient times were hard to compare with those of modern people who had eaten and drunk well since childhood.

Having figured this out, Luo Kunlun's confidence in escaping this place in the future increased.

....................

The nest was in a small cave that was dug out later, and the entrance to the cave was fenced with wood.

The snow outside was falling even harder, with snowflakes fluttering down and accumulating into a thick layer on the ground, making a crunching sound when stepped on.

Several serfs, also dressed in coarse linen prison clothes, were looking down at the contents of the pot.

It was a pot of what looked like "porridge" made with black bread and wild vegetables.

Of course, it's more like pig feed than porridge.

The small pot of porridge was divided among the ten surviving serfs.

Luo Kunlun was happy with this; at least he had something to eat and wouldn't go hungry.

Because people used to fight over it, causing the porridge to spill all over the ground, the bandits were unhappy. After they killed the ringleaders, no one dared to rob it anymore.

However, by now, probably no one has the energy to fight for it anymore; just being able to eat it is enough.

After that, they began chopping wood, carrying water, shoveling snow, and moving stones in the nearby woods.

There were several thatched huts near the cave, which were the bandits' dwellings.

In the dead of winter, they naturally didn't want to work.

"Bang!"

The axe struck the wood, leaving a deep mark.

One, two, three...

Ten minutes later, Luo Kunlun was panting heavily, his chest heaving violently.

Although his physical fitness has improved, he is still in a sub-healthy state.

The bandits truly don't value human life. If it weren't for the food they ate beforehand and the enhanced utilization by the nanomachines, they would have collapsed long ago.

But Luo Lun had to persevere.

As long as he can get through another day and eat something, he can keep going.

To sustain life, heal injuries, enhance physical abilities, and gather intelligence.

If this cycle continues, he will eventually escape.

"I will definitely survive!"

................

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Nanomachines

Operating time: 3 days and 8 hours

Host: Luo Kunlun

Vital signs: Out of danger, healthy

Physical fitness: 0.7

In three days, he squeezed out energy almost by the teeth to strengthen his muscles, and Luo Kunlun's physical fitness reached 0.7.

He still looked like a skinny, dark-skinned kid, but his physical abilities were already not much worse than that of the arrogant scarred man.

After three days of intentional and unintentional scanning, Luo Kunlun had gained a general understanding of the bandits' situation.

This bandit den, including Scarface, consisted of fourteen bandits. Of course, there were also some lookouts who were not in the den.

The leader was a guy with flaxen hair, I think his name was Karen.

Judging by his height, you can tell he's the leader here.

He is about 1.73 meters tall and has a physical fitness level of 1.2.

He's a very strong man; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to become a leader.

If they were to fight, even two scarred men together wouldn't be able to defeat the other.

As for the rest, their stats are basically the same as Scarface's, with the highest physical fitness score being only 0.9.

Besides, this cave is probably located deep in the mountains and forests, so the bandits weren't afraid of them escaping.

Although nanomachines may make wilderness survival less of a challenge, deep forests are often infested with wild beasts such as jackals, tigers, leopards, or wild boars.

Luo Kunlun didn't want to gamble; he had better options.

That means waiting and continuing to improve physical fitness.

"My physical fitness can still be improved." On the morning of the fourth day, Luo Kunlun drank a large bowl of "porridge".

"Nanomachines can speed up my reaction time in combat and can also quickly heal injuries except for those caused by missing body tissue."

"A normal human being who is hit by a blunt or sharp object is basically unable to get up again."

"With the added combat support capabilities of nanomachines... perhaps I can try to kill the mountain bandits."

One against fourteen seems impossible, after all, two fists can't beat four hands.

But Luo Kunlun discovered that there were only three or four people guarding them.

That's true. Among the bandits, probably no one would think that these seemingly weaklings could pose any threat to them.

Rebellion, or joking, given their physical condition?

Moreover, for docile serfs, resistance would certainly result in death, while this way they could at least prolong their lives.

Unfortunately, Lokunlun and nanomachines were not within their consideration.

If we defeat them one by one, it's not impossible to wipe out the mountain bandits.
