The Last Mecha

Chapter 133 History, Tragedy

"Goo-"

The strange voice came a second time, and the corner of Nan Zhiyun's mouth twitched for a moment, but the vigilance and fear on his face did not fade away at all.

"Are you hungry?"

Wu Gou said lightly, thinking that he would have no chance to eat anything in that environment.

He stood up from the bench suddenly, but this action stimulated the girl in front of him like lighting a fuse.

Nan Zhiyun's bright fingers groped around half of his body tremblingly, and after several failed attempts, he finally took out the iron piece sewn on the waist of his trousers.

But this time she was holding a sharp weapon, but it wasn't Wu Gou that she was aiming at.

The icy iron sheet pressed so tightly to her neck that it pierced her skin, and the dark red blood flowed slowly, which looked scary.

"Let me go, or I will kill myself, and you will get nothing from me!" Her eyes were full of despair, "Don't lie to me, no one will ever try to lie to me again!"

Wu Gou looked at the girl helplessly. He listened to the movement outside, then turned around, pushed the door out without looking back, and left the girl who was holding a knife compared to him to stay where she was.

He came back soon, bringing a plate of pickled vegetables and dried tofu, and a large bowl of cooled rice with two eggs buried in it.

Nan Zhiyun stared at him without saying a word, until Wu Gou gently pushed a bunch of things in front of her, she didn't even lighten the steel piece in her hand by an inch.

The young man was expressionless, he turned around slowly, sat in the farthest corner and pointed his finger.

"I really want to plot against you. There are plenty of ways. Poisoning food will only reduce your value, right? You might as well eat more while you have the chance, before you faint again."

The smell of food poured into her nostrils, and Nan Zhiyun's stomach screamed again. Her eyes switched back and forth between Wu Hook and the food, and finally carefully changed the blade, and picked up the porcelain bowl full of soup and water.

A large amount of rice soup poured into her throat, and her eyes couldn't help but relieved, but she still stared at Wu Gou tightly.

She picked up the chopsticks and put the dried tofu into her mouth. The boiled egg was already a bit cold, but she still felt that it was very fragrant.

After a while, Nan Zhiyun finally finished this simple meal, and his pale and blue face only slightly improved at this time, but the vigilance in those amber eyes still did not fade away.

Wu Gou got up, strode forward, and without waiting for the girl to react, he took the bowl and chopsticks in his hand.

"My family doesn't have the habit of entering my room casually. You can rest here. If you want to leave, the money is under the pillow. Remember to follow the way I told you. Other than that, don't go out, don't make noise, I don't I know who is looking for you, but I took the risk to take you in, don't make trouble for me."

Then he pushed the door open and left Nan Zhiyun staring at the door in a daze.

With a few "ding dongs", the porcelain bowl was pushed into the bluestone pool by Wu Hook. He picked up the half-filled bucket at his feet and splashed it in. The transparent water splashes collided with each other in mid-air, creating pieces of white foam.

There was an indescribable meaning in his dark eyes.

The subhumans of the Liuli species belong to a very special existence in the world, and they are most distributed in the Annan Kingdom.

Their blood can rapidly catalyze the activity of Qi metals, as well as catalyze the human body with high Qi.

Not only that, the glass species with pure bloodlines can even rely on their own blood as a medium to manipulate machinery based on Qi metal, and even produce reactions that can change physical properties.

This ability is somewhat similar to the demihumans called blood species in Europa, but it is actually very different. The blood of the glass species is not aggressive in itself, and more reacts with the energy metal and the human body.

Nan Zhiyun was a weak woman who had not undergone any training, and this was the reason why Wu Hook's tongue became weak with a knife that contained qi.

Compared with blood species that are powerful in combat and cannot be used by others, the glazed species that are not so good at self-protection and have great value have naturally become the coveted objects of countless people.

It is a very sad thing to have value but not have power.

Of the colored glass species distributed in Annan, one of the nobles surnamed Hu has the purest blood, and has an extremely strong reaction to the Qi metal.

In the last life, when Qi metal technology was discovered, the whole world merged into one, and the law of the jungle prevailed, they, as glass species, also perceived the danger from the outside.

It's just that I didn't expect that the fastest knife came from China.

As early as the early 50s and [-]s, when Qi metal technology was gradually showing its signs around the world, the Annan royal family noticed the special race that existed in the local area.

In 1661, with the support of the Franks, Annan King Ruan Tangfu launched a top-down political sweep, targeting the Liuli bloodline entrenched in the country.

After experiencing bloodshed and suppression, the Hu family, who was accused of countless crimes, was relieved of all power, and a large number of pure-blooded Liuli species were placed under house arrest. The Annan royal family also completely held this heaven-sent domestic treasure in their palms.

Similarly, the Franks who made suggestions for this matter also received a lot of benefits, and have since become the best in a branch line of Qi Metal Technology.

In the East, after Emperor Wu of the Great Xia came to the throne in the 80s, the promotion logic of local high-level bureaucrats changed from no-debt protection to merit protection, with evaluation every three to five years, and those without merit would be replaced and demoted.

The implementation of the entire system was strictly controlled by Wang Ling, the new minister of state affairs. Although there were frequent incidents of doves occupying the magpie's nest and overcorrecting, the overall effect was still remarkable.

Under pressure, the vibes of local governors and inspectors have changed. Even if you sharpen your head, you have to find a way to dig something out of the nails to prove that you still have power and value.

And some of them have their own ideas elsewhere, so they set their sights wider. Naturally, some of them have taken a fancy to the Liuli species, which is known as the lubricant of Qi metal technology. As a country bordering Annan, the room for manipulation is not small at first glance.

At this time, the Franks have been entrenched in Annan for a long time, and naturally they will not tolerate the hands of the Xia people. In the nearly 80 years since the 30s, there have been many bloody incidents on the border between the two countries, many of which were written by Frank.

But things finally turned around. In the 20s, King Ruan Keqin of Annan, who did not want the power of the country to fall to outsiders, triggered a war between Frank and Xia Guo on his own land by driving away wolves and tigers. And finally drove off the Franks.

And Xia Guo, who paid a considerable price, obviously also got enough benefits, and retreated safely after the war.

The intriguing exchange of interests during this period is unknown except for the parties concerned, but the only thing that is certain is that the sub-humans of the Liuli species have never had their own homeland since then, and half of them were given the opportunity to disperse abroad during the war, carefully covering up own identity.

In the 60s of the 50th century, when the doomsday was approaching, a scientific survey showed that the Liuli sub-people, who originally had a population of several thousand, are now probably less than [-] when the whole world is added together.

It's a pity that at that time, the flames of war and crises continued to stimulate the whole world, and the tragedy of the Liuli species could not even be exchanged for a sigh.
