My uncle of the last days
Chapter 34
The next day, Yi Qi's group and Lin Zhen's team left the safety zone early in the morning.Yi Qi has space, and Lin Zhen agreed to borrow it, so not many people will take it on the road this time, so as to avoid attracting attention.Not counting Yi Qi, there are only 12 people in this team.As Lin Zhen's deputy team, Yang An naturally accompanied him.
Going all the way to the northwest, you have to go around two hills to reach the A78 camp.Lin Zhen, who was close to the safe zone, would stop and clean up the streets of towns and cities they passed by on the way. This was also the purpose of their mission to pretend to be external.
As for the battles along the way, Yi Qi seldom made a move.
He handed it over to Xu Quan and Shui Xian, and only took Mi Yuan to watch.
After Xu Quan practiced his sword moves, his attack power was several times that of before, let alone with the aid of sword light, long-distance is no longer a problem.Narcissus controls the ice mist even more superbly, and is able to ice several heads at the same time. The trick is just like Yi Qi's fire dazzle. Gained the ability to draw spiritual power from the air like Yi Qi!
However, recently inspired by Xu Quan's moves, she also likes to hold the ice sword.Presumably this implied that she also wanted to learn Xu Quan's sword light.
Mi Yuan didn't know how to explain to her that the gold type of move was best practiced.As compensation, Mi Yuan decided to take a pair of long whips that he received from a certain imported sex.interest.things section of a special counter (this section was what Yi Qi insisted on collecting, and it was hidden on the layer of men's clothing), and try to exercise on it. Make some ice-type inscriptions and give them to Narcissus as gifts.
The field of refining is Mi Yuan's second interest besides cultivation.Yi Qi chose the formation method, and the rules of the operation of the formation method are in line with Yi Qi's interest in deduction and the application of rules.Both of them lacked interest in elixirs, perhaps because the medicinal herbs in elixirs are hard to obtain now, and learning without theory but without practice is doomed to be useless.
The performance of Xu Quan and Narcissus changed Yang An's expression for a while.
Yang An boasted that he was assisted by the crystal nucleus training method of later generations, and his training progress could not be compared with anyone except the monster Yi Qi.
But looking at Xu Quan and Narcissus in front of them, they are agile and have endless sources of powers (actually, their spiritual sense has been trained to make the use of powers more economical). They can stay calm in the face of danger, and work together to kill each other as a cover.Yang An reluctantly admitted that he might not be able to beat him!
But doesn't it mean that the people around Yi Qi should be his stepping stones?
Or, because they are loyal to Yi Qi, they are able to enjoy Yi Qi's glory so much! ?
If he hadn't left the team yet, Yang An would have the audacity to ask Xu Quan what his cultivation skills are.But after leaving the team, Xu Quan's attitude towards him was obviously much colder. Although it was not the same as treating strangers, Yang An knew that it was impossible for him to ask anything.
This made Yang An very internally hurt.
He was very hesitant before whether to leave Yi Qi.After leaving, Xu Quan and Narcissus made progress.He still couldn't meet the mutant zombie that "hurt" Lin Zhen.Is he not far enough away from Yi Qi?So it's still unlucky.
***
Before turning into the mountains, the team will pass a small town on the county road.The gas station that Lin Zhen mentioned is located in this small town.The scale of the town is larger than that of Luoshui Village, and new buildings can be seen occasionally. It belongs to the development area that radiated out after the rise of Zhongjiang Town.
But before he entered the town, he saw a simple pass in the distance.The gate was set up by the side of the road, and a big umbrella was tied, and two young men sat on two small stools under the umbrella, with food and drink in their hands, and even a homemade hunting gun.
Seeing Lin Zhen and his team driving over in military vehicles, the two young men were not afraid. They picked up their guns and leaned over to ask, "Brothers, are you passing by?"
The convoy stopped, and Lin Zhen leaned out from the car window, "Why, the road won't let you go?"
Seeing Lin Zhen's imposing manner, one of the young people smiled flatteringly, "Isn't this because you are afraid of zombies entering the town? Although the big brothers are definitely fine, but our gatekeepers are also working hard to maintain the safety of this town, so All this has to be...hehe, similar to tolls. Otherwise, who would want to do this good thing for nothing, brother, don’t you think so?”
Lin Zhen raised her eyebrows and looked left and right. The other intersections into the town were indeed blocked by vehicles, and there was a prototype of a small safety zone.
Lin Zhen thought about it and felt that what he said was also reasonable.It is impossible for the military to tolerate this kind of behavior of occupying land as king in peacetime.But it is meaningless to rashly destroy the established order when there is no way to separate them.As for the private self-organized escort, there is no benefit and it is impossible to last.Just like when they went to Zhongjiang Town, they also collected protection fees from the people for going on the road, the reason is similar.
"How much? It has to be reasonable, otherwise..." Lin Zhen glanced at the young man who was speaking.
The young man heard Lin Zhen let go, and quickly said, "Not much, not much! One car is enough for 10 people, and the elder brother only has four cars, very little!"
Lin Zhen raised her eyebrows, "This car only takes 5 people, and you charge 10, which is not cheap."
"Hey, isn't there no time limit? The big brothers come in a convoy, and you can stay for as many nights as you want. You can live in an empty house, and it's safe! It's a profit if you calculate it!"
Lin Zhen didn't bother to bargain with him, so he waved someone to order food and delivered it. The young man rubbed his hands together with a smile on his face, and continued to sell boldly, "Brothers, if you want to continue on the road, I don't know if there is any shortage of fuel. And a gas station."
"You also need to exchange food, right?"
"Of course, how many zombies there were when we first came here, we were scared to death, thanks to the fact that our brothers still have some hunting guys, otherwise, tsk tsk tsk, not to mention that the brothers have sacrificed a few-- "
"Okay, show me the way, let's go and have a look."
"Okay, big brother, turn left first, then turn right at the second intersection, and that's it!"
Lin Zhen returned to the car and told the convoy to continue driving to the gas station.As for the two young men at the intersection, after the convoy left their sight, the one who had been silent all this time said, "It seems like a good target. There aren't many people there. Do you want to notify Big Brother?"
The young man who was fawning just now flashed a hint of ferocity, "Of course, there are ammunitions in the trunk. This kind of thing will only be used less and less, rare goods."
Mi Yuan moved in the car, Yi Qi glanced at him, and knew what Mi Yuan meant.
***
Lin Zhen told the motorcade to drive along the indicated road.On the short journey, even if there were no zombies, there were very few pedestrians on the street.Perhaps because of the hot weather, the whole area has a dead atmosphere.
On some windows or balconies, some people heard the movement outside and poked their heads out to observe. Some showed excitement, but some remained indifferent.The same thing is, no one shouted for questioning.This was completely different from the reactions of the people that the previous team encountered on the way to Zhongjiang Town.
When the convoy arrived at the gas station, there were already seven or eight men gathered in the station.There are forty or fifty older ones, and the young ones are only seventeen or eighteen years old, and they all have a vicious vigor in their bodies.A total of five shotguns were held.Surrounded by those around him, a middle-aged man obviously took the lead.
The convoy stopped, and this time, except for the driver, almost everyone on Lin Zhen's side got out of the car.
If the opponent puts up a battle, they naturally can't lose.
The leader in the town is a middle-aged man.He has a flat head, square face and big ears, a strong body, tanned, and a strong temperament. It seems that he used to be in a mixed construction site or a mine.With a cigarette in his mouth, he squinted his eyes and asked, "Brothers, do you want to change the oil?"
Lin Zhen didn't talk nonsense, "How to change?"
"1 liter of 30 catties of grain is not cheap, but in this world, it is lucky to be able to exchange it."
When the middle-aged man said this, a gleam of light appeared from the tip of his finger, and he successfully lit the cigarette by his mouth.The five people holding shotguns were all standing beside him, looking quite poised.
Lin Zhen looked around and said with a smile, "Do you want to change or grab this battle?"
The middle-aged man cracked his teeth and smiled, "Be considerate of each other. You are afraid of being robbed, and we are also afraid. It's all about self-protection."
The crowd behind them seemed to be very well-behaved, the middle-aged man gave no orders, and none of them made more moves.
Lin Zhen thought for a while, then nodded, "Okay, just change to 1000 liters." It was exactly five barrels.Of course, it’s not enough to give this oil to Yi Qi, but looking at this battle, it’s not necessarily a good thing to replace too much room to expose Yi Qi.It's okay to wait until the military area to collect some for Yi Qi.
The middle-aged man nodded and waved his hands to let people prepare the fuel.After looking around at Lin Zhen's people, he clicked on Mi Yuan and said, "I'm a person who thinks a lot, so I'll let this soldier follow me into the warehouse to see how the oil is loaded, okay?"
During this trip, the four of Yi Qi changed into the same military uniforms as Lin Zhen's team.
Among the soldiers, there were a few people in casual clothes who were quite abrupt, but Yi Qi didn't object, so he just let him wear it.
As a result, everyone is well-groomed, and even Narcissus, who has a cold face, looks like a female soldier in a military uniform.But considering Mi Yuan's complexion and temperament, he also put on his military uniform neatly and squarely on his hat, exactly like a stiff soldier who just enlisted in the army, unable to get rid of his immaturity.
With such a point from the boss, it can be guessed that Yue Mo wanted to choose someone with a low force value to prevent accidents.
Before Lin Zhen could speak, Mi Yuan stood up first, "Captain, let me go."
Yi Qi's eyes flashed displeasure, and Mi Yuan patted him.Seeing that Yi Qi didn't say anything in the end, Lin Zhen agreed, and asked his men to move out the food to be given from behind the military vehicle.Someone from the boss quickly brought out a scale and skillfully counted the food on the spot.
During the entire transaction process, the two parties continued to face each other upright on the spot.
The atmosphere was a little tense.The boss casually asked about the recent situation outside, while Lin Zhen talked about the safety zone.
The boss seemed a little careless.But the two sides at least exchanged names, the boss's surname is Hong and his name is Meng.
When Mi Yuan followed the three barrels of oil and appeared from the warehouse, the atmosphere at the scene calmed down a little.
At this time, someone from the other end walked quickly with a large kettle and said enthusiastically, "Boss, the tea is ready!"
Hong Meng nodded, as usual, "Give a cup to a few soldiers. The weather is hot, everyone has worked hard."
A younger brother took out an environmentally friendly paper cup, poured tea in each cup, and handed it to the people on Lin Zhen's side graciously, while persuading, "You're welcome, you're welcome, it happens that everything has been changed, so come and take a break."
Lin Zhen took it and glanced at the tea, "Thank you. But we don't drink outside--"
Before he finished speaking, the water glass in the younger brother's hand slammed into the face of the nearby soldier brother!
"Don't move!"
The five people with guns beside Hong Meng had already set up their guns in an instant! !
Another person held Mi Yuan from behind and held him hostage with a dagger around his neck! !
The direction Mi Yuan came out from the warehouse was exactly the side that Hong Meng and the others occupied.
He hasn't come to Lin Zhen's side yet, so he is surrounded by Hong Meng's subordinates.
Going all the way to the northwest, you have to go around two hills to reach the A78 camp.Lin Zhen, who was close to the safe zone, would stop and clean up the streets of towns and cities they passed by on the way. This was also the purpose of their mission to pretend to be external.
