#652 - Chapter 23 Nightmare
The massive Explorer ship slowly approached the city. For Chicago, which had suffered numerous alien invasions, the scene was terrifying! It stirred up many bad memories, and the city was immediately thrown into chaos.
Lockdown naturally didn't care about human thoughts. He found the easiest way to do things: go directly to the city and trade with humans.
But the aliens' wanton behavior troubled his partner. Attinger called countless departments with one message: these aliens are here for negotiations at my arrangement. Everyone, calm down, don't be nervous, and don't impulsively open fire.
The spaceship hovered over Lake Michigan, about 1,000 meters above the water. Attinger stood on the platform of a lakeside building, shouting into his phone, "James, go and meet the aliens immediately. You must complete the transaction with Lockdown and bring back the bomb safely as agreed."
Soon, a helicopter flew quickly towards them. The spaceship opened its hatch, and Lockdown's tall figure walked out of the passage after the helicopter landed. He looked around, sneering at the humans and soldiers who were trying to appear calm.
Savoy stepped forward and was about to speak, but Lockdown spoke first: "I enjoyed this hunt, but I don't like your planet. Since you helped me capture Optimus Prime, this is the reward we agreed upon. Be careful with the Seed, but I believe you humans are well-prepared."
Savoy said, "Of course, we're prepared. We won't trouble you with what we humans do next."
Lockdown placed the Seed bomb on the ground and turned to walk back: "Farewell, Earthlings."
The CIA agents carefully put the Seed bomb back into the box. It was lighter than they had imagined, and one person could lift it. Seeing that the thing was in hand, Savoy breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, let's go back immediately."
Just as the helicopter was leaving, the pilot suddenly said, "Sir, look over there."
Savoy saw from the window that a blue helicopter was quietly approaching the bottom of the spaceship, with three Transformers hanging below the helicopter.
The pilot: "Sir, should we notify the aliens?"
Savoy sneered: "Why should we notify them? Didn't that alien say that our alliance has expired? Fly steadily, go to KSI headquarters, we are about to get rich."

Bumblebee and his team relied on the drifting, transforming helicopter to sneak into the spaceship.
Crosshairs looked around and said, "It's so big here, where should we look for Optimus Prime?"
Hound pulled out his energy cannon from behind: "Why don't we make some noise and lure them out?"
Bumblebee quickly stopped him: "Let's split up! Drift, you and Crosshairs go and try to stop the ship from activating the warp engine. Hound and I will go and find Optimus Prime!"
"Actually, you don't have to go to so much trouble." A voice came from behind them, and the Autobots nervously aimed their weapons there. They saw a man coming, wearing a well-fitting suit that seemed out of place in this environment.
Bumblebee sensed the energy fluctuations on the man, which felt familiar: "You are also a Transformer, who exactly are you?"
The man bowed gracefully: "I am a servant of the great master, Andy Holkins, of course, you can also call me by another name—Frenzy!"
"A Decepticon spy—Frenzy!" The Autobots immediately became vigilant. Although the Decepticons had been defeated and were no longer a threat on Earth, encountering a Decepticon on a bounty hunter's ship made them wonder if this was a trap.
Frenzy completely ignored the guns pointed at him and waved his hand: "Calm down, my friends. There are two things you must understand. First, I am no longer a Decepticon. Second, I have nothing to do with the bounty hunter Lockdown."
"Let me blast this glib-tongued guy!" Hound pointed his enormous cannon almost at Frenzy's face.
Bumblebee reached out to stop Hound, and said, "Who are you working for now? Has another Decepticon leader come to Earth?"
Frenzy sneered disdainfully: "How can those trash-like Decepticons compare to my great master?"
On a barren Gobi Desert, not far away was an abandoned Wubao fortress. A few hundred meters north of these ruins, a river meandered by with rapid currents, indicating a plentiful water supply, rare in the Gobi Desert.
Inside the abandoned Wubao, a dozen men gathered around a fire. A skinned goat was roasting over the fire, and a bearded man was turning it, occasionally rubbing a pebble-like object on the roasting goat. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, the sky darkened, and a thunderclap sounded out of nowhere. One of the bearded men sitting on a saddle muttered: "What kind of weather is this? The wind is picking up again for no reason. Balamu, go and check the livestock, make sure the reins are tied tightly, don't let the rain and thunder scare them away."
The thin man named Balamu responded and turned to go out. He came to another roofless room where there were 11 horses, 20 camels, and five sheep. There were many boxes piled on the ground, all wrapped in leather. If you looked closely, these goods were stained with brownish-black marks, obviously fresh blood that had splashed on them not long ago. Balamu checked the reins and then thought it might get cold later. He grabbed a blanket and returned to the previous inhabited house.
At the same time, after a burst of wind and lightning, a deep blue vortex appeared out of nowhere. After the light disappeared, Liu Yuan appeared there. He had just straightened up when a mouthful of sand was blown into his face. "Pui, pui, pui!" He spat a few times. He glanced at his surroundings, it was a Gobi Desert. Behind him was a big river, and not far ahead was a building, seemingly ruins.
Liu Yuan raised his hand and found that the clothes on his body were tattered. As he moved his arm, they broke into pieces and fell to the ground. "Damn, I was struck by lightning just now." He directly summoned the system: "Wangcai, introduce the current world situation."
Wangcai: "Ding~ Arrived in a new world, location unknown. Timeline synchronized, current time flow rate 1:10. Task generated, this is an exploration task: current world exploration progress 0.1%, host please explore on your own, this task is non-mandatory, the host can consume spacetime power to leave. Note this world is a derivative world, energy concentration 2.2 level after testing. This world can only accommodate third-order primary life forms, host attributes reduced by 50%. Special note: technological items exceeding 200 years of this world will be unusable! Good luck."
Liu Yuan was a little surprised that the energy concentration in this world was actually 2.2. The energy concentration in his plane was only 1.3, and the energy concentration in the previous Resident Evil plane was only 1.7. It is easier to cultivate in this world, which also means that there may be some life forms with relatively strong individual strength here. But limited by the world level, the upper limit they can reach will not be too high.
But now the first thing is to figure out where he is and what kind of world this is? He looked up and saw only one sun, and looked at the sparse plants on the surrounding Gobi, it should still be Earth. He then turned his attention to the ruins not far away, unable to tell what style of architecture it was. But he could see thick smoke rising in the air, there should be people inside.
He tried it, and the system's functions were still there. He took out a set of Arabian robes from inside. This was prepared when he went to Iraq to sell arms before. This kind of clothing does not distinguish between regions and eras, and it will not seem particularly strange to wear it out. Just as he walked to the ruins, he suddenly saw a person walking out. The man was wearing a worn gray robe and a fur hat, the style somewhat like a Mongolian robe. The man suddenly turned his head and saw Liu Yuan, with a surprised expression, and then threw down the old felt mat in his hand. He shouted a few words and rushed into the building next to him.
Then thirteen people rushed out from inside, all holding scimitars and axes. Liu Yuan glanced at them, they were made of iron, but very old. The ethnicity of these people was also mixed, judging from their faces they should be mostly mixed-race from Central Asia, and there were also green-eyed Caucasians. They wore similar clothes, one of them was probably the leader. He was wearing a green robe with a half-body chainmail vest.
The leader stared at Liu Yuan and slowly opened his mouth: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment, in fact, their accent was a bit strange. It was quite different from the Mongolian he had contacted before. Fortunately, the [Language Master] ability was powerful and quickly analyzed it. This should be a branch of the Turkic language in the Hezhong area, and it also incorporates a lot of western Mongolian. He tried to communicate with them in Mongolian: "I am a traveler from the East, I accidentally got lost in the Gobi Desert. May I ask where this is?"
The leader stroked his chin and beard and said: "Ah, it's a Han Chinese!" Seeing that Liu Yuan had no luggage in his hands, he said to his men: "A lost Ming dog, not much value. Kill him!" Two of his men walked towards Liu Yuan with ferocious expressions, holding knives.
Although he didn't understand much, seeing their malicious looks. Liu Yuan was a little helpless, he always ran into this kind of people. A bearded man came to his side with a grin and said: "White-faced Ming dog, go to hell!" After saying that, he raised the knife in his hand and slashed down fiercely.
He attacked directly, Liu Yuan was not polite, his left hand smoothly grabbed the knife. His right hand was directly a big slap, the man's head turned 180°, his eyes staring straight behind him, which was quite scary.
Another person didn't expect this to happen, and also raised an axe and slashed at him very bravely. Liu Yuan raised his right leg and kicked the man's left hip. The whole person flew backward, his body twisted into an unnatural shape.
The leader's face changed drastically, he lost two of his men with just one move. It proved that the Ming man in front of him was a tough guy, these people were indeed brave. They all picked up their weapons and rushed up.
Liu Yuan didn't care, as long as he left one alive. He raised his left hand, and the scimitar flew out, directly piercing a person's chest.
Then he suddenly darted forward, reached out and grabbed the faces of two guys. He slammed their heads together hard, with a bang, both skulls caved in.
He took advantage of the momentum to kick another person's neck with a flying kick, landing he grabbed a person and slammed him on his knee with both hands. The man's spine broke, and his body folded backward. Then he threw the corpse in his hand out hard, knocking over two others and breaking their necks.
He flicked a trident with his toe, and it fell into his hand. He threw it out with force, piercing a person's abdomen, taking the man backwards and pinning him to a broken wall. He slapped his right hand hard. Hitting the top of a person's head, immediately he knelt on the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices, and it was clear that he would not live.
All this happened in a flash, in just two minutes or so. In the blink of an eye, only the leader and Balamu, who had reported the news before, were still alive.
The leader hadn't had time to attack, and Balamu had just gone to work before and didn't carry a weapon. Looking at Liu Yuan, who was like a god descending to earth, he trembled all over and knelt on the ground. He said in somewhat stiff Chinese: "Little Balamu, I am willing to be your slave, please spare my life, sir!"
This made Liu Yuan a little curious, he originally wanted to keep this leader. Then he changed his mind, one living person was enough. He casually waved his hand and shattered the leader's throat bone, there was one survivor, that was enough.
Liu Yuan walked up slowly, the leader strangled his throat with both hands behind him, and fell to the ground in pain. Seeing Balamu's heart tremble, he kept kowtowing on the ground: "Please spare my life, sir, please spare my life!" He knew this was his only chance to live.
Liu Yuan stood in front of him and said with interest: "So you are willing to become a slave, then tell me what use are you? Why should I let you go?"
Balamu was overjoyed and walked forward a few steps, kissing Liu Yuan's boots and said: "Great master, I, Balamu, swear here that I am willing to serve you as my master and will never dare to betray you for the rest of my life. Hmm, I am the best guide of this generation, familiar with Jiayuguan to Hami. All routes. I can also herd sheep! And I eat very little."
Liu Yuan was interested when he heard this, Jiayuguan and Hami proved that he was in the Gansu area of the Northwest. And this Balamu was still a guide, which was still very useful at the moment. A smile appeared on his face and said: "Balamu, from today onwards you are my servant. If you perform well, you will live a life that even tribal leaders cannot compare to. But you have to do things wholeheartedly for me." He twitched his nose. Hmm, the smell of roasted mutton. Then he said to him: "Go and strip off the useful things from these corpses, hurry up! I'll wait for you inside." After saying that, he lifted the curtain and walked into the house, the smell inside was not very good. There was a roasted goat on the bonfire, one side was a little burnt.
He walked over and sat on the saddle, picking up something that looked like crystal next to him. He picked it up and looked at it, it turned out to be a piece of salt crystal that had not been properly processed, that is, crystalline salt that was directly guessed by the color control. Then he took out a few exquisite glass bottles from the space, which contained refined salt, cumin powder, chili powder, how can you eat roasted mutton without these things?
