Chapter 17: Setting Foot in North America
As Jin Hu's movements became faster, what was supposed to be a desolate scene in front of him now appeared as figures of people. He saw himself being tied to the railing with no power to fight back, three people surrounding him beating and scolding him at the same time. Xu Mao's invincible appearance when he first met him, everything under his control; Duan Miao's curses before she died; Chen Jin's desperate bitter smile on his face... All of these scenes intertwined together. If someone saw Jin Hu's appearance now, they would definitely be frightened out of their wits. His eyes were wide open with bloodshot eyes, the veins on his neck and arms bulging out. Every punch was accompanied by a short, powerful roar: "Ah~!"
The whole rapid movement lasted almost thirty minutes, and Jin Hu finally knelt to the ground in exhaustion, panting heavily, with large beads of sweat dripping from his forehead onto the ground.
"1.75 times the human body's limit speed, 1.9 times its strength! The Storm Type 7 is performing perfectly!" The Shadow Lamp head removed the 'octopus' from Jin Hu's head and said: "Commander, please protect your head as much as possible! Although the Storm Type 7 can provide you with protection, I still want to remind you not to take risks with your brain!"
Although his body felt very tired, after this outburst, Jin Hu felt that his former self had returned, and the vengeful little tiger from the mountains was alive again, no longer constrained by the rules and frameworks of before.
"Is there a mirror?" After taking over the water handed over by No. 1 and drinking a mouthful, the taste of the water was salty with a hint of bitterness, Jin Hu gulped down another mouthful and said.
Seeing the wall in front of him shining brightly, Jin Hu dragged his tired body over, using both hands to support himself against the wall. He looked at the reflection of his own shadow on the wall and didn't know when he had lost the bed sheet that was originally covering his body. His entire body was now smooth and shiny. He smiled slightly, showing a bit of his teeth. The person in front of him raised the corner of their right mouth lightly, forming a small dimple on their face, with sparkling eyes. They spat a wad of saliva onto Jin Hu's face and then wiped it off: "Still so pleasing to the eye!"
After watching for five or six minutes, waiting for his body to recover a bit: "Number one! Take me to see my warship!". He walked to the bedside and picked up the quilt, tied it around his waist and headed straight for the door.
"Commander! What are you going to see?" Shang got on the carriage and asked Jin Hu.
After some thought, the old man said it well: "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." As soon as he finished speaking, the car started moving.
As soon as he entered the gate, Jin Hu felt that it was worth coming. The entire space of over seven meters high, as soon as he entered the door, was already on the second floor. Holding onto the handrail and looking down, there were rows and rows of large dissolvers below. In the half-transparent dissolver, there were human-shaped creatures, each one looking much taller and larger than Jin Hu.
Going down the stairs, looking at the humanoid creature in the solvent tank, he asked No. 1: "Are they armed infantry?"
"They are! Their brains are the most advanced biological computers, their skeletons are made of metal alloys, and their skin is composed of active cells. Whether it's the Dragon Alliance, Eagle Alliance, or Green Alliance, they are all main force combat troops," Number One explained.
"What's its combat power like?" Jin Hu knocked on the outer shell of the large solvent: "Why did you say it can't be unlocked?"
"The warship is in energy protection state and will not provide extra energy to unlock them. As long as you have a stable energy, you can activate them, their combat power is very strong."
Jin Hu waited for a while, but No. 1 didn't give out any information about its strength, and it seemed unrealistic to expect it to describe itself in a way that Jin Hu could understand. As he looked at the motionless armed infantryman who looked like a specimen, Jin Hu asked another question: "How many are there?"
There are 532 in total!
Jin Hu nodded and continued walking, but suddenly felt that something was off. He retreated two steps and saw that it seemed like there was nothing in three of the containers. As he walked over to take a look, he realized that it wasn't that there was nothing inside, but rather that the things inside were too small. They had big heads, big eyes, small arms and legs, and were only about 1.3 meters tall, with their entire head almost half the size of their body. They looked extremely ugly and strange.
"Have you caught three aliens as well?" Jin Hu said with his head against the dissolver wall, facing No. 1.
"No! They were our former commanding officers, flight officers and power officers! The corpses of the Dragon Alliance generals!"
"Human?" Jin Hu asked in surprise. Looking at No. 1 nodding, Jin Hu sighed: "Who would have thought that humans could grow up to be so ugly!"
"Our era began when humanity arrived at Nanmen II, which is the Star Era year. From Mother Earth to Nanmen II, human beings split into three forces, divided by flags: Long Alliance, Eagle Alliance and Green Alliance. At that time we were in 9375 of the Star Era."
"Damn it!" Jin Hu calculated and found it was a good distance away from his mother.
"What about their bodies?" Jin Hu pointed at the three corpses in the dissolving tank and asked.
"You can freely dispose of them, it's your prerogative. Generally speaking, just putting them into space is enough," Number One replied.
Is that okay? Jin Hu thought for a moment and said, "Then throw the three guys off my warship." He thought for another moment: "Hmm! I put them in the medical bay earlier. Let me go take two photos! Is my phone still working or is it broken?"
"The three things on you are all present, and the situation is good," said Number One.
Jintiger had previously seen a newspaper that said it was a photo of an alien, and the Americans were buying it for $70,000. He thought to himself, "If I take a few photos, maybe I can make some money too." This was the last contribution the three men made to the ship.
"That's all for today, take me to the cabin to rest. Call me in ten hours to take a photo, and prepare several of the most powerful weapons I have now. I'll be back on Earth tomorrow to get money!"
"Good commander," said No. 1 to Jin Hu.
Waiting for Jin Hu to arrive at his own warehouse, he was a bit stunned. The entire room area was not small, but the height of the top was only over two meters. Thinking about it, the height of the three people in the solvent was also understandable. Fortunately, his own warship was smart enough, and within a few minutes, the height of the layer had changed to three meters, and the bed and other things had also become suitable sizes. Only then did Jin Hu feel much more comfortable.
Mei Mei slept soundly and didn't have any dreams. When Jin Hu opened his eyes, a set of clothes had already been placed beside the bed, and Number One was holding a tray waiting for him.
He put on his uniform, and Jin Hu took his breakfast while looking at the decorations in his captain's cabin. To his surprise, he found a few books on his desk that he knew, one was "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", one was "Zizhi Tongjian" and another was "Jin Ping Mei". Jin Hu couldn't help but look at his predecessor with new eyes.
After finishing dinner, he went to the medical bay and took a photo with his three ex-girlfriends. Then, Jinhu set off to see the warship that was specially producing weapons for him.
Followed No. 1 into a huge space, where three long rectangular boxes were already set up inside.
Jin Hu smiled and said, "Hurry up and open it for me." With this advanced weapon, conquering the US Bank will be a piece of cake. Looking at the three long boxes, Jin Hu said, "What kind of weapon is so long? It's a bit troublesome to carry!" The two robots immediately helped to open the long rectangular box.
As soon as the box was opened, Jin Hu's eyes widened and he pointed at the most lethal weapon in the three boxes, his face changing color: "You bastards! You want me to use this to rob a bank?" Jin Hu suddenly had an urge to chop the two robots in front of him into eight pieces with this weapon.
Looking at the weapons in the box, Jin Hu was so angry that he wanted to cry. Damn it! Three boxes, one containing Fang Tianhua's halberd, one containing Zhang Ba's snake spear, and the other... no need to ask, Guan Yu's Green Dragon Crescent Blade.
Anger arose from the heart, and with one swing of the Qinglong Yan Yue knife, it slashed towards the metal surface behind the two robot scumbags that produced weapons. If not for yesterday's number one reminding himself that if the robots were damaged, he would have to produce them himself, this one slash would have landed squarely on the heads of the two scumbags.
The knife passed silently, and the table was cut in half. Jin Hu looked stunned for a moment, then praised: "Good knife!"
"This is a mixed-in tungsten carbide smelting, the data sent by A-1 before, now there is no weapon that can cut it off," said a robot.
"I want to chop you up with it!" Jin Hu looked at the robot and said: "I'm going to rob a bank in America! Not go to America to play Guan Gong!" Carrying this thing to the bank, wanting to be low-key is not possible! Walking on the road without causing a commotion is already good enough, let alone going to the bank.
"This is the best weapon that isn't restricted by energy," said No. 1 to Jin Hu.
Jin Hu sighed: "Forget it!" He tossed the Qinglong Yan Yue knife into the box: "Fortunately, I still have a Colt 1911!" It turned out that he finally understood why there were Three Kingdoms on the previous boss's desk - the guy was a Three Kingdoms fan.
"I'll think about it some more, I'll go back to my cabin and think about what to do next! Or maybe I should review English first." Jin Hu said somewhat disappointedly to Number One. Originally, Jin Hu thought there would be advanced weapons like laser guns or something, but the Green Dragon Crescent Blade and Fang Tian's Halberd were really not suitable for conquering a bank.
"If you want to learn another language, there's a specialized system on the ship. Just wait until the Explorer collects the data and in just over ten hours, you'll be able to speak fluently," said Number One as soon as he heard that Jin Hu wanted to learn a language.
Jin Hu patted No. 1's head: "Every time you have good news, the rest are just nightmares." After saying that, he glanced at the two armed robots and turned his gaze to No. 1: "You go collect, I'll practice fighting skills for a while." When he reached the door, Jin Hu suddenly remembered that when he was strolling around the market before, he really liked Tang knives and had always wanted to buy one but didn't have enough money. Now was the perfect opportunity: "You two, produce two Tang knives for me, do you know what Tang knives are?"
"Affirmative!" said the two robots.
Standing at the door, Jin Hu said to the two robots: "One is all red, one is snow white. Do you understand this time?" The two robots replied in unison: "Understood!"
Jin Hu finally left.
As soon as he arrived at the medical bay's training room, a robot brought over two Tang knives. Jin Hu took one look and fell in love with them. Originally, Jin Hu's red and white pointers were just for the handles, but unexpectedly, the blades also had a red and white color scheme.
After two rounds, Jin Hu was more and more satisfied, and let the robot take back the white knife to engrave "Virgin" and the red knife to engrave "Whore". This way, Jin Hu's twin knives had their names.
After staying on the warship for two more days, Jin Hu learned English well and took Colt to leave the warship. They arrived at the Explorer, which now also had power. Taking advantage of the dark night, they headed towards America.
A calamitous footstep is about to tread on this land of desire and death for the first time.
