Locking Techniques for Metal Forming

Nearly half of the people in the camp chose to stay, which made Tom feel that his previous conflicts were too much, and he underestimated the inciting effect of No. 176 on others. The people who choose to stay are probably afraid that Tom will deceive them.

This also relieved Tom of some of his worries. At least people like 176th and Yao Xinlong didn't deal with him and didn't follow him, so there was no need to worry about causing trouble for him halfway.

Of course, this gang division meeting was more beneficial for him, and almost all the gladiators followed him. After all, he served as the captain of the Luo Jun team, and everyone trusted him. On the side of the big health team, Natasha's prestige led those gladiators to pursue her out of fear.

Those two legged sheep have been tormented by mutant humans and lost their minds. Although they have been liberated at this time, their rational judgment has not recovered much. Tom did not lobby and was naturally persuaded by the lobbying expert 176.

As for the maidservant team, half of the 47 people chose to pursue the maidservant leader Chen Qi and Wu Xiaoying. These two of them are definitely the ones who are seeking Tom to avoid difficulties. The remaining maidservants pursued the deputy maidservants, and it was obvious that this was a residual issue of the faction that had been left behind before. Most women were more sensitive, and when the mutants ruled in the past, they would not deal with Chen Qi and others. Now naturally, they do not want to be with Chen Qi and the others. As for the danger of staying, no matter how miserable it is, there is no such thing as the mutants being miserable.

The end of the day has arrived, and wherever women go, they inevitably become tools for venting their desires. Who do they associate with?

After calculation, there were 96 people following Tom, which provided him with better security for his upcoming journey. After all, with fewer people, he didn't have to worry so much.

Next came the allocation of resources. Lion No. 176 opened his mouth and seized almost all the supplies, with the reason that Tom and others could supply them on their own or move them to the supermarket warehouse on their own. In terms of crystals, they also need to occupy all of them, for the same reason.

Number 176 seemed to recognize Tom as a talkative person, thinking that Tom wouldn't argue with him for the sake of face. As a result, Tom's attitude was very tough and he needed to take away 150 people, a week's worth of supplies, and everyone split the crystal equally.

This request was rejected on the 176th, but as Natasha, who was full of alcohol, lifted him above his head, he and the others realized that Tom and others were not good at dealing with each other, so they obediently compromised.

As for how to travel a long distance with nearly a hundred people back to the shelter, Number 2 provided a clue.

When they arrived, they drove a giant truck powered by gasoline and capable of carrying a lot of things. Of course, they also had other vehicles. The giant truck was used to load supplies, but it broke down halfway. They threw it aside in order to catch up, and the convoy was attacked shortly after, almost completely annihilating the army.

Two of the gladiators happened to be car mechanics, and upon hearing this, they all expressed that if it weren't for black technology cars, they could give it a try.

In terms of surrounding terrain, Chen Zhensheng from No. 97 and Xia Yousheng, the leader of Steel Castle, are quite familiar with it. No. 2 talked about the environment where the giant truck broke down, and they quickly identified the destination: opposite the McDonald's restaurant.

So Tom took Xia Yousheng and two gladiators who knew how to repair cars, rode cookies and flew to the location of the giant truck.

Natasha is responsible for guarding the campsite to prevent the 176th and others from making any small moves.

They quickly found the intersection where McDonald's restaurant was located and found the giant truck next to a garbage bin.

The people of the Darwin Order did not notice this giant truck covered in camouflage cloth and covered in garbage.

Looking at this truck, which is 19 centimeters tall, 16 centimeters wide, and 55 centimeters long, the three of them were extremely amazed.

If this thing were placed before, it wouldn't even be considered a children's electric car, but for a small person, it would be equivalent to a big guy that is 4.5 meters high, 3.8 meters wide, and 13.2 meters long.

But when it wasn't time for emotion, Tom interrupted their exclamation and urged them to quickly inspect the truck's power system to see where the malfunction was. He led Xia Yousheng to the back carriage and began evaluating the space to see if it could accommodate these more than ninety people.

As for cookies, of course, they are responsible for vigilance.

Geckos are the nemesis of insects, even if mosquitoes and flies mutate, they are always scum in front of biscuits that mutate into dragons.

The supplies in the carriage are almost empty, with only a little left. It is estimated that the other vehicles of No. 2 and others cannot accommodate them. After Tom checked, he found the bottom. If it was made into a second layer, it still wouldn't work, so he thought of raising it. After all, the power of gasoline engines is self-evident. The weight of 100 people combined is not enough, it just can't fit.

He plans to change the height of the carriage from 19 centimeters to 25 centimeters, which is 6 meters high for people and has two floors. This way, it can be divided into three layers to stuff people in. If it still cannot fit, he will go back and make another larger carriage to be towed behind the truck, which is enough.

If it were a regular change, the modification would be more time-consuming and laborious, but Tom has a simple and convenient metal shaping ability, making it very easy to do.

After confirming with two mechanic that the truck could be repaired, Tom immediately began to make preliminary modifications to the carriage. Divide the carriage into two levels first, and the subsequent height increase will be carried out after returning to the campsite.

During the production process, Xia Yousheng was very interested and asked him a question: "Can other people who know this ability change the metal structure you made?"

Tom immediately remembered that when he was wearing Old Street Zero at Longyao Home, he was directly dismantled by Wen Yiku using metal shaping, so the answer was yes. Later, he thought of the Steel Castle. Zhang Meng's subordinates also had metal shaped mutants, but they could not dismantle the Steel Castle, or even shake it at all.

Xia Yousheng smiled and said, "I have a companion who built that castle. He obtained a technique from a shelter that can lock the metal when shaping it, so that others cannot shape it."

Tom's eyes lit up, and this skill was exactly what he needed. "What about others?"

"Dead, after we were taken back to the camp, the black widow confirmed that he knew this technique and immediately killed him..."

Tom remembers Natasha hearing Zhang Meng mention that capturing the Steel Castle was requested by the Black Widow. In order for Zhang Meng to capture the Steel Castle, she even broke the rules and handed Tom and Natasha over to Zhang Meng for free disposal.

Now it seems that the purpose of the Black Widow, who is backed by the Darwin Order, is precisely the awakened one who can lock up metal. It must be that the Darwin Order does not want this technology to flow out. Even if the Awakened Ones use metal to make powerful weapons and equipment, they still cannot resist them breaking down with just one metal shape, just like what Winston did to Tom's armor in the beginning.

"That means... you don't know about this technology anymore?"

Xia Yousheng smiled and said, "I don't understand metal shaping, of course I don't know this operation."

But Tom always felt that he had something to say, but since Xia Yousheng was unwilling to discuss it in detail, there was no way. Perhaps he could switch to this skill next time he went to the shelter, so he shifted his energy back to his current job.

After finishing his work, Tom found a biscuit to play with and found that this guy had already gnawed on a few insects. It also intentionally peeled two pieces of crystal out, which were left for him.

Tom felt warm in his heart and gratefully touched its head. Without paying attention, he was slapped in the face with his long tongue. After protesting twice, the biscuit went even further and wrapped his neck a few times with his tongue, becoming a scarf. This scared Xia Yousheng, who was watching the excitement next to him, quite a bit. He thought the cookies were going to hang Tom and eat them.

On the mechanic's side, they needed some replacement metal parts. Tom shaped the metal according to their requirements, repeatedly corrected it, and installed it to a qualified level. Soon, he found that the car could move.

So they rushed back to the camp before dark, and there was no threat along the way, after all, the mutant camp had been entrenched here for several months, and the threatening creatures had already been either killed or driven away by them.

There is Natasha sitting in the camp, and the 176th and others are unable to withstand the storm. Along the way, Yao Xinlong's third sister made some small moves, but Natasha broke her hand and threw it aside, completely deterring their twisted thoughts.

Later, Tom started renovating overnight. Not only did he complete the raising and internal layering of the carriage, but he also used the resources of the camp to create a carriage that could be loaded onto a truck and accommodate more than ninety people.

Considering that the third floor space would be very crowded, Tom not only added handrails to each column, but also created an aisle in the middle, and even left some open space in the carriage, allowing people in the car to take turns going there for ventilation.

Watching Tom busy up and down, the gladiators were both envious and guilty, especially the women in the maidservants. In order to make everyone ride more comfortably, Tom worked hard alone to complete the renovation, and the hardships they saw were painful in their hearts.

As maids, they not only work but also take on the task of venting the desires of mutants. Now that they have finally been liberated, they are naturally delighted, and their admiration for Tom is beyond measure. Even several women who planned to stay with the deputy maidservant defected and requested to pursue Tom on the road.

This formed a chain reaction, and some bipedal sheep also made requests to pursue, which made Tom quite a headache.

Fortunately, there is still room in the carriage, with more than twenty people, it can still fit.

Next is the time to load the goods onto the truck. At this point, Tom can finally relax and rest. As the maidservant, Chen Qi can be said to be the most beautiful among so many women, so she naturally recommended a pillow to accompany Tom to rest. But Tom refused her kindness and carefully stated that it was not that he despised her for being dirty, but that he was really tired.

As a result, Natasha shattered the image of Tom the Sage by saying, "Your god of safety is still a virgin.".

Tom gave her a white glance and lay down under the wings of a biscuit to sleep, with Chen Zhensheng in charge of directing the material handling.

He slept soundly this night, the most peaceful outside the shelter. Because his most trusted companion has returned and is protecting him by his side.

He slept until he woke up naturally, flicking away the wings of the biscuit, and the dazzling sunlight projected down from the top of the glass shed, making him warm and cozy. This is a sunny and good day. In early May, there were often sunshine and rain, but now it has started well in the morning, which is very rare.

"Brother An, you're awake!" Chen Zhensheng, who used to be on the 97th with a joyful expression, said, "Everything is ready and has been checked several times."

"Where's Natasha?" Tom looked around and saw many people dressed neatly gathered in groups of three or two on the square.

Chen Zhensheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "I've been drinking and sleeping again."

Tom sighed and said, "Wake her up, we're going!"
