001. Escaped, but Not Completely

After entering Tianhuan's territory, Li Aozi quickly ditched the train engine at the old Jiangzhitian station, then changed into his shabby old clothes and started walking.

In reality, even though he stepped into Tianhuan's territory, those familiar with Tianhuan knew that this country's borders were never fixed.

Besides the ambitious Tianhuan army, the private militias were also extremely rampant. In Tianhuan's company registration categories, there were even terms like 'Armed Joint-Stock Company' and 'Pioneer Colonization Group'.

These private militias would invade native settlements in the outer world under the guise of pioneering.

Unlike the assassination and infiltration tactics of Frost-Plated's Law III, Tianhuan didn't care about these civilian militias, allowing them to burn, kill, and loot as much as they could, as long as they paid taxes to the country.

These civilian self-governing groups were essentially Tianhuan's mobile borders.

In Tianhuan, it was common for a village to contribute a knife, another a gun, and then form a 'pioneer group' to plunder land and resources.

Therefore, Li Aozi wasn't worried about being checked for illegal entry—there were too many illegal entrants. Outside was the vast snowfield of the outer world, and refugees had no other way to survive. Their only hope was to run to the invaders' homeland, usually heading to the fringe cities of Tianhuan.

After a few decades, the descendants of these people would become new Tianhuan warriors or laborers on the assembly line, serving those who initially invaded them.

For Li Aozi, it didn't matter: a player not passing through checkpoints three or four times couldn't really claim to have been to Tianhuan.

Li Aozi estimated his location: he was 450 kilometers from the nearest city in Tianhuan. He decided to head to a settlement to rest and recover while working on his two side jobs.

The secondary profession 【Biochemist】 required a lot of specialized knowledge to enhance his mimicry health.

The 【Craft】 series 【Biochemist】 was the most versatile early on among the 'Magical Machinery' kings. Later on, everyone was on par, but few were as versatile as a 【Biochemist】 early on.

Need a healer in the team?

—【Biochemist】 could make potions on the spot, even in flavors like hot sauce, yogurt, or milk tea, full of tech and hard work.

Need a scout?

—【Biochemist】 could send out biochemical beasts that could either kill or subdue enemies with little noise, much better than drones.

Need a tank?
