Chapter 260 Party
In the Xingyi Taoist Museum, Robert kept asking Lin Hong for tips for practicing Xingyi Tao.
His ability to receive is very strong. When he learns an action, he will often draw inferences from it, connect what he has learned before, compares it, analyze the similarities and differences between these actions, and find out the reasons for doing so.
The content of his thinking is very detailed, so that after detailed decomposition, he can often quickly master the essence of the action.
I have to say that this is a born warrior.
Even Lin Hong thinks this guy is a little scary.
Moreover, his physical fitness is very good. Common exercises have forged a very strong body. Some movements are very difficult for others, but he can easily complete them.
Of course, under mutual communication, Lin Hong also learned a lot from him, especially rich fighting experience.
Robert only said that he had been a soldier before, but he didn't go into details about where he served.
However, what Lin Hong is most interested in is everything about survival maniacs.
"Robert, can I see what's in this bag?" The relationship between the two is already very good, and Lin Hong made a request.
"Of course." Robby nodded and took the initiative to take the backpack from the corner.
Open it and take it out one by one.
A straight knife about 50 centimeters long was first taken out. It was dark black and looked very full of the same beauty. It was placed in a flat scabbard. From the appearance, I didn't know that there was such a sharp weapon in it.
Then, first aid kit, lighter, radio, flashlight, rope, notepad, map, compass, chocolate, Swiss army knife...
One by one, the whole floor is covered.
Robert took things over and over again and explained: "In our circle, there is a concept of edc, that is, every day carry, which must be carried with us every day. Don't underestimate these things. Once something happens, it may often save your life! Of course, what everyone brings may be different, but a good-fit knife is definitely a must. It is very useful. It can not only protect itself, but also use it to do a lot of things, such as cutting firewood for heating, hunting, etc..."
Lin Hong listened carefully and imagined in his mind under what circumstances these things needed to be used.
Obviously, considering the weight and space, these things are not carried at will. Everything must have its very important purpose, and meaningless things must have been eliminated by them for a long time.
Moreover, he noticed that there was not only a knife in this backpack, except for the only longer straight knife, a dagger, and a multi-functional Swiss army knife.
Of course, if you can have a gun, it will be even more perfect. But there is a drawback to firearms, that is, bullets. A gun without bullets can only be a piece of useless scrap metal.
In addition to the more common things, Lin Hong also saw several strange metal blocks and metal bars.
"What is this for?" Lin Hong pointed to these metal bars and asked.
"This is a magnesium block and a fire rod, which is used for fire. It's very good!" Robert took one of the ignition sticks and magnesium blocks in his hand, and said, "Although I have brought a windproof lighter, it is not reliable. The most reliable tool for fire is magnesium. Just cut a little magnesium powder from the top with a knife, and then wipe it on the ignition stick, and Mars can emerge.
Robert wanted to demonstrate on the spot, but then he realized that this was Xingyi Taoist Hall, and the venue was not suitable for demonstration. It would be bad if it caused a fire.
"Human beings cannot survive without fire. You should remember that fire is the second most important thing besides knives, which must be considered first."
Another very important thing is [medicine].
Usually, very common drugs become more precious than gold in special periods, such as antibiotics. Once injured, without these drugs, they are likely to be fatal.
All these things that Robert carries are only for one purpose, that is, to support him so that he can return to his home smoothly. Therefore, he didn't bring much food at all. He just asked to be able to hold on for more than ten hours. The only thing to replenish his energy was chocolate.
In the past few days, Lin Hong and Robert have been together for a very long time.
The two of them took what they needed. Robert wanted to learn more powerful fighting and boxing, while Lin Hong was very interested in the various survival skills and experiences he had mastered.
During this period, Lin Hong also collected information about survival maniacs on the Internet.
This gave him a very detailed understanding of the world of survivalism.
The survivalist trend in the United States mainly began in the late 1920s and early 1930s, when many people developed the habit of storing canned food in the basement.
The economic crisis has just passed and ushered in the Second World War, and the people of all countries are in deep trouble. Although the war did not burn to the mainland of the United States, no one knew how the situation would develop at that time, and there were more and more survivalists.
Then came the Cold War period of more than 40 years. At this stage, the nuclear threat has been hovering on the heads of the American people like a sword of Damocles, and it seems that a nuclear war may break out at any time. This sense of crisis reached its peak during the Cuban missile crisis.
In addition, all kinds of disasters continue to appear in religious doomsday propaganda, literary works and film and television works, such as artificial virus outbreaks, meteorite celestial impacts, earthquakes, floods... and so on.
Under the influence of these factors, survivalism has completely taken root among the American people.
Survival Madness is a very strange group with a strong sense of crisis.
Almost all the time, they are preparing for how to deal with the sudden crisis. They often do not follow the tide, have their own views on current affairs, and have a calm mind and unique insights.
For the sake of safety, survival freaks usually live alone away from the crowd, live and exercise themselves and their families and friends in the most difficult way, store a large number of weapons, ammunition and living medical supplies, and dig bunkers to welcome the end of the world.
The more extremes insist that the world war is about to break out and human beings are about to perish, and are known to actively prepare themselves to survive after the crisis really breaks out.
Robert is relatively cheerful.
He will take the initiative to contact some people, but this is all a means to make himself stronger.
Because of this, he knows many other survival freaks and has a very high reputation among them, which allows him to often organize some survival freak gatherings.
Such parties are usually very secretive, because they often hold small trade fairs at the same time.
The content of the trade fair is mainly based on survival equipment, covering a very wide range, from ordinary daily necessities, [medicine] products to all kinds of prohibited weapons that make the United States [police] inspection and fbi very headache. As long as you have money, you can get satisfactory things, including heavy weapons such as rockets.
According to Robert, the situation in the Soviet Union has been very chaotic in recent months. The private arms trafficking in the army is very serious. There are all kinds of standard weapons. According to unreliable news, some people are said to be able to get submarines and atomic bombs.
Robert is very concerned about this. He spends a lot of time reading public current affairs news every day, trying to find some clues from it. Of course, he also buys news from the black market so that he can get the latest news at the first time.
Lin Hong accidentally heard him talk about this, and he usually began to pay attention to the news about the Soviet Union.
According to the discussions in major forums, the situation in the Soviet Union has indeed been very unstable in recent months, and various rumors have flooded the Internet, making everyone panic.
With Lin Hong's understanding of survival maniacs and the deepening of his friendship with Robert, he followed Robert to a local survival maniac party in New York.
The main reason why he took him there was that Robert felt that Lin Hong was still a child and came from [China] country, and there was no direct conflict with his interests. In addition, the confidentiality level of this party was not very high, and it basically only belonged to a relatively ordinary survival maniac party.
Although it is only an ordinary party, not everyone can attend it. It must be recommended by someone with enough weight.
The venue of the party is a bar. These survival freaks have different identities. Among them are students, white-collar workers, farmers, billionaires, old people and women.
However, people of Lin Hong's age appeared for the first time, which aroused everyone's curiosity.
In particular, this person was brought here by Robert himself.
"Hey, everyone, calm down. I'll bring a new partner today." Robert said loudly.
After everyone's attention was attracted, he nodded to Lin Hong.
Lin Hong stepped forward and introduced himself: "Honest, everyone. My name is Stone. I'm from [Zhongzhong]. I'm very happy to be friends with you!"
As soon as his voice fell, there was a loud noise under the bar.
Someone shouted, "Welcome, the boy from [Zhongzhong] country!"
Someone blew it up. Whistle, most of the other people shouted loudly.
Of course, not everyone is so friendly to Lin Hong's arrival.
"Yo, what did I see? A little kid?" A loud voice came from the opposite side of the bar, "Robert, this is not your illegitimate child, is it? Haha!"
As soon as his voice fell, someone suddenly laughed loudly.
Lin Hong couldn't help frowning when he heard this. He stared at it and saw a bald man sitting over there wearing only a vest. His thick arms were as thick as Lin Hong's thighs, which seemed to contain explosive power. There was a tattoo on his arm, but the light in the bar was dim, so Lin Hong couldn't see it clearly.
