Chapter 111 A Hard Journey (Third Update)
Qu Jianlei The three of them didn't know that the small team that had been expelled had been squatting outside for them for most of the day.
Bentley may have thought of it, but he didn't care - he wanted to compete with Modified Warrior, so how many mechas had he prepared? Anyway, along the way, most people avoided them, but occasionally they encountered temptations.
It's just that most of these probing people dare not launch an attack without saying a word - what if the heavy truck belongs to a big force? Therefore, choosing a heavy truck can save a lot of trouble.
But even so, you will still encounter blind people. No matter what society, there is always a shortage of people who take risks.
In Wasteland, there are a lot more people with red eyes.
What makes them feel depressed is that after several battles, they actually lost money.
Even Bentley couldn't help but yell, "Damn it, you want to ambush a heavy truck with a few gunmen?"
"With this kind of intelligence, it's better to make human flesh for Fallen Baozi."
After walking away from Buduo for a month, the three of them finally reached the edge of Zhou-character Settlement Area.
The edge of Zhou-character Settlement Area is a desert, but winter is coming. Bentley said that this is the right time to cross the desert.
If you travel through the desert in summer, you will consume much more water than in winter, and various desert creatures will be very active.
It took another month to cross the desert, and I also encountered some creatures... Finally, it was okay, and I didn't lose any money.
Miraculously, the arriving Residential Area was not "Yu-character Settlement Area", but Yellow-character Settlement Area.
In Bentley's words, it's okay to go to Yu-character Settlement Area area, but it's easier to come to Huangzi, even if the road in the desert is more difficult.
When I came to Huangzi, I felt that the weather was very different, and the environment here was better.
There are actually scattered farmlands. Although most of them are grown in greenhouses, they are indeed different.
Public security is also relatively better... so Diandian, basically no one is staring blankly at the heavy truck.
In many wild camps, children can be seen everywhere.
It can be seen that the living environment here is much better than that of Hong-character Settlement Area and Zhouzi - not only children can grow up, but people also dare to give birth.
However, there are more formal inspections, not only at Settlement, but also occasionally at wild campsites.
Qu Jianlei Their heavy trucks even encountered a surprise inspection in the wild.
There were at least four cars and a dozen motorcycles on the opposite side. As soon as they met, the other party signaled, asking them to stop for inspection.
Hua Xiezhi's answer was a direct shot - not directed at anyone, but his attitude was obvious.
The person on the other side was visibly stunned for a moment, and then a motorcyclist came over carrying a white flag.
The driver said that we are arresting wanted criminals and all suspicious persons must be inspected.
Bentley took out an object and showed it to Buduo. The other party immediately became respectful.
However, even so, the man still said that he wanted to check the identities of other people and inspect the vehicles.
Bentley's face immediately dropped when he heard this, "Let me see your ID."
The driver could only hesitantly say that I was not an official, but just helping out.
"Go away," Bentley took out a cigarette and lit it, squinting his eyes and speaking, "If you don't leave, we will take action."
The rider really didn't dare to explode, "Then I'll notify them and replace them with someone with credentials?"
Bentley snorted disdainfully, "If the certificate level is sufficient, the little guy who comes... won't be an idiot like you."
The things he co-authored were quite authoritative, and ordinary inspectors were not qualified to inspect people and vehicles.
The driver was stunned. He didn't know the extent of the other party's identity, so he could only turn around and go back to report.
The team over there discussed it and gave a "pass" signal.
When Qu Jianlei saw this, he couldn't help but look at the old man and said, "Lao Ben, your skills are very good."
"They are just non-staff forces assisting in the investigation," Bentley drove slowly, "Maybe they want to fish in troubled waters."
Wasteland is still the same Wasteland, Yellow-character District's Order is a little better, but only a little better.
It took the three of them more than two months to travel through Yellow-character District, and then they reached the level of "Xuan-character Settlement Area".
That's right, from the yellow characters to Xuan-character Settlement Area Residential Area, there aren't many natural chasms, and the obstacles are the levels.
Of course, all the customs clearance matters should be left to Bentley, old Jianghu.
The old man did not disappoint them either, and passed the test immediately.
Other verifications are inevitable. This time Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezhi changed their identities and became Bentley's "attendants".
The old man's ability to forge his identity is indeed not simple, and he has the power to bring in his entourage.
The gatekeeper also briefly inspected the vehicle, but when he saw the large amount of supplies on the vehicle, he didn't covet it at all.
On the contrary, they looked at Bentley with a hint of fear in their eyes.
——Only a boss like this can carry so much supplies and come back safely from Yellow-character District, right?
The order of Residential Area is "Tian Xuan Di Huang", not "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang". Entering the Xuan-character Settlement Area area is one step away from the word Tianzi.
This step away, they walked for more than a month and finally reached the checkpoint.
It is easy to exit the customs in Xuan-character Settlement Area area, but to reach Tian-character District, you have to cross a large river more than three kilometers wide.
It was late winter, and we could barely pass people on the ice, and snowmobiles and the like were no problem.
But Qu Jianlei and their heavy trucks are absolutely unable to drive through, so they can only board ferries with ice-breaking capabilities.
Three people and one car paid 120 Silver Coin to cross this three-kilometer river.
After getting off the ferry, Qu Jianlei's mouth twitched, "Why... do you feel like you were robbed?"
"That's not what happened," Bentley shook his head, "Next, let you experience what robbery is."
They are about to enter Tian-character District. There is a separate entry level here.
Bentley has the ID of Tian-character District resident, and his identity is not bad. Just pay the customs clearance fee of 50 yuan Silver Coin.
The vehicles and supplies were charged a customs clearance fee of 200 yuan.
Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezhi did not have certificates. Because they were guaranteed by Bentley, they obtained temporary certificates.
The temporary certificate cost fifty. It is valid for one year and needs to be renewed when it expires. The deposit for each certificate is... five hundred Silver Coin! Qu Jianlei felt like his head was about to explode, "It really made me, who wasn't already rich, even worse..."
They didn't encounter any serious enemies in the Yellow-character District and Xuan-character Settlement Area areas. They were relatively safe, but they kept spending money.
No one can bear the feeling of sitting still and having nothing to offer.
"Don't be dissatisfied," Bentley said leisurely while driving. "Without my guarantee, you can't get in with money."
Hua Xiezhi was also heartbroken. She said seriously, "You can consider smuggling across the country."
"Forget it," Qu Jianlei took a deep breath, "If money can solve the problem, then it's not a problem... why take the risk."
Bentley glanced at him and said calmly, "You have a good mentality, unlike young people who have experienced poverty."
In fact, I used to be very rich...Qu Jianlei couldn't help but mutter.
"Forget it, I still have some gold, which can be worth some money if I sell it."
He only brought eight kilograms of gold with him, and left the rest in Secret Camp everywhere. He originally thought it would be enough.
I never thought that this Tian-character District was really extraordinary. After entering the customs, the two thousand Silver Coin were gone.
"Tian-character District's cost of living is not that high," Bentley replied calmly, "It's just that it's a little more expensive to enter the country."
"Of course, if you still want to practice... then you have to work hard to make money."
Qu Jianlei couldn't help but look at him, "Lao Ben, when it's really inconvenient, I have to borrow money from you."
"Do you want to borrow it... do you think this is interesting?" Bentley replied calmly.
However, the next moment, he couldn't help but emphasize, "Being with me has already saved a lot of money."
"I know," Qu Jianlei Diandian nodded, "I'm not idle either. I've been thinking about helping you deduce the cultivation method."
Bentley took a deep breath, "I can't bear it anymore, hurry up Hou Jing."
Before he had this idea, forget it, he had already thought about eating and waiting to die.
But since he had such thoughts, his life for more than half a year has really been like a year.
Fortunately, he is old and has considerable self-control, and those places... are indeed not suitable for cultivation.
Once he set foot on the land of Tian-character District, he could no longer hold back his thoughts. He wished he could fly there right away.
There are fourteen Tian-character District and Settlement in total.
In addition to numbers 1 to 9, there are four named after Beijing - Qian Jing, Hou Jing, Zuo Jing, and You Jing.
The only remaining one is called "Tai Du", which is the real Tian-character District and the first Settlement.
However, Qian Jing and Hou Jing are not far behind Tai Du, and the strength of Hou Jing is closer to Tai Du.
To put it simply, Hou Jing is the second largest Settlement to Tian-character District.
As the boss of Settlement, Tai Du has more high-end resources.
However, even Bentley believes that it is more dangerous there - he has a false identity, but a wanted criminal is a wanted criminal.
Therefore, everyone agreed that Hou Jing is a good choice. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can still get the training resources.
Qu Jianlei couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "How about we go to Tai Du?"
"I can still maintain this sense of propriety," Bentley replied disapprovingly.
Then he couldn't help but ask, "How was your deduction?"
Along the way, he and Hua Xiezhi were busy. Qu Jianlei was either reading or practicing without any delay.
However, Bentley saw with his own eyes that Qu Jianlei's long-term practice had completely consumed one Rank B Crystal.
In this case, he couldn't help but not believe it.
"It's still a little imperfect," Qu Jianlei rubbed his brows and replied in distress.
"But to be honest, you must get feedback through practice, and finally you can find a method that suits you."
Bentley could understand this, but he still couldn't help but ask, "How long will it take?"
"How dare I guarantee this for you?" Qu Jianlei replied helplessly, "I can only promise... as soon as possible!"
"You don't have to rush me. The key is that you still have to get the resources to practice. That's what you should worry about."
Bentley's brows wrinkled slightly... I couldn't help it, I couldn't calm down.
The next moment, a series of noises sounded, and a muffled sound came from outside the heavy truck.
Chapter 112 Human life is not valuable, but the yard is valuable (fourth update)
The weather hasn't warmed up yet, so here comes Tian-character District again, and the three of them are currently sitting in the car.
Hua Xiezhi, who was in charge of the security, exclaimed, "Someone shot us with a machine gun!"
Bentley's eyes flashed coldly, "Go and fire, destroy the opponent directly!"
Hua Xiezhi was about to run back in a flash, but Qu Jianlei was one step faster and rushed directly to the truck body.
"I'll fire the cannon. I'll suppress the opponent first, and then you can shoot with the machine gun."
The next moment, he exclaimed, "I'll go, do you want to be so cruel? It's actually Armored Vehicle?"
The attack came from the side. Qu Jianlei spotted a Armored Vehicle, two trucks, and an off-road vehicle at a glance.
The shooter was not Armored Vehicle, but a truck. Autocannon on Armored Vehicle was following the movement of the heavy truck.
Obviously, Autocannon's aim was slow, and the opponent was unwilling to consume ammunition, so he fired first with Vehicle-Mounted Machine Gun.
In the past six months, Qu Jianlei has reached the peak of the sixth level of Qi refining, and may advance to the seventh level at any time.
However, he has other plans, so he has been improving his physical fitness recently.
He chose the armor-piercing bomb, took up the Autocannon, and took aim at the Armored Vehicle in two seconds.
During this period, the other two Gauss Machine Gun also rang, making the armor of the heavy truck jingle.
"I'm stupid," someone couldn't help but curse, "Such a perverted armor on a heavy truck, are you trying to get enough?"
The next moment, the heavy truck Autocannon roared and a Third Company shot.
Only one of the three shells missed, and the two armor-piercing shells directly caused Armored Vehicle to burn.
"It's actually thickened armor?" Qu Jianlei was also a little surprised, and then quickly switched to High-Explosive Round.
The other three cars were dumbfounded when they saw this, "What the hell... is it so accurate?"
The three cars wanted to escape, but it was too late. Qu Jianlei was extremely fast and fired three consecutive Third Companys, directly blowing up the three cars.
Then he pointed at the burning Armored Vehicle, "Do you want to seize it?"
There was a burning figure running out of the car.
"No!" Bentley said very simply, "I will stop immediately, blow up Armored Vehicle and leave."
Then he braked suddenly, Qu Jianlei shook his hand and blasted Armored Vehicle, and the heavy truck sped away.
When he returned to the cab, Hua Xiezhi asked, "Is Tian-character District's Order so bad?"
"I have never said that Tian-character District's Order is good," Bentley said very simply. I will not take the blame for this.
He asked plausibly, "All the guys with some strength are here, how come you think Order is good?"
Hua Xiezhi was immediately speechless. He thought for a moment before asking again, "Settlement's Order is good, but the other ones are worse?"
"This is basically correct," Bentley Diandian said, "But there are... many powerful forces in Settlement."
Of course there is nothing wrong with this, but Qu Jianlei narrowed his eyes and spoke in a sinister tone.
"You were eliminated by Central City after all, right?"
After experiencing the endless pursuit of Sai family, he is now extremely sensitive to the word "big power".
Bentley was startled for a moment, then nodded slightly, "That's true, but some of them were sent by Central City."
Hua Xiezhi felt that the boss might lose control again, so he immediately asked, "Is this an ordinary robber?"
"Maybe, maybe not," Bentley replied calmly, "Some robbers really have this strength."
"However, we can't rule out the possibility that they colluded with the people at the checkpoint. After all, we brought more things."
"What the hell..." Hua Xiezhi originally wanted to divert attention, but when she heard this, even she couldn't help but curse.
"If a poor man is ambushed, he won't even be able to pay for ammunition."
"Are you angry about this?" Bentley was a little helpless, "You can earn more than the ammunition cost, so they mainly target heavy trucks."
"Human life is not valuable," Qu Jianlei said lightly, "The first half of my crystals came from someone who wanted to take advantage of me."
Hua Xiezhi Seeing that he had returned to normal, his anxious heart was relieved, "The people at the pass really dare to be so complicit in banditry?"
"Why don't you dare?" Bentley replied casually, with a very cold tone.
"If you are more cautious, then you only sell information to make money... There are people who do it themselves. I have encountered it."
Qu Jianlei looked at him speechlessly, "Central City is the same?"
"Of course not," Bentley said in a proud tone, "It's the most Order there, just like before the end of the world."
Hua Xiezhi accidentally said something to him, "Then you have also been replaced, and you actually have the intention to say good things about them?"
"This... is different," Bentley couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. You really don't want to pick up any of the pots! He paused and replied slowly, "No matter which society you are in, robbery and robbery are objective realities."
"The reason why I was replaced has nothing to do with Order, it has to do with privilege... In the final analysis, what I got is too precious."
Hua Xiezhi noticed that he was in a low mood and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
"It doesn't matter," Bentley spat out three words, then stopped talking, and the car fell into silence.
The territory of Tian-character Settlement Area is not small, but they chose the entry point well. It only took fifteen days to drive to Hou Jing.
But this is mainly related to roads. Tian-character District There are roads in many places.
Although most of the roads are dirt roads, and even gravel roads are rare, there is definitely a difference between having roads and not having roads.
That afternoon, when I saw Hou Jing City from a distance, Hua Xiezhi exclaimed, "Hou Jing this Settlement... has no walls?"
"Central City has no walls," Bentley replied casually, "One Capital Four Capitals is just studying Central City."
His tone was calm, but he still couldn't help but glance at Qu Jianlei - does this surprise you? Qu Jianlei I'm really not surprised, Blue Star Nowadays, cities with walls... those are all scenic spots! Isn't it rare? Bentley sighed inwardly: This guy's origins are really extraordinary.
Hou Jing Although there is no city wall, there are gates. The two gates separate the outside of the city, the suburbs and the city.
Bentley recommends settling in the suburbs, because the quality outside the city is too low.
If you want to live in the city, many of the weapons on the heavy trucks are over-the-top and have too much ammunition.
This kind of matter involving Residential Area Order is very sensitive. Even if you are willing to spend money to deal with it, it is not easy to find a reliable way.
Qu Jianlei shook his head as soon as he heard "spend money", and now he gets a headache when he thinks of Silver Coin.
Hua Xiezhi also said simply, "We believe in you."
Houses in the suburbs are not cheap. The monthly rent for a decent residential house with a yard is as high as 30 yuan Silver Coin.
Bentley said that this is normal, "This kind of house is usually shared, so it is not expensive to share it..."
"If it were in the city, this kind of house would cost at least one hundred and fifty, and the most expensive one could cost four to five hundred!"
"Is this because the cost of living is not high?" Qu Jianlei couldn't help complaining, "It's enough to buy a house in Universe Six Rich Area!"
"This is Hou Jing from Tian-character District!" Bentley was a little helpless, "How can it be cheaper if you rent the whole yard in the city?"
But then again, renting the whole yard is a necessity for them, and it is impossible for them to share it with others.
Bentley finally chose a relatively luxurious courtyard, and the price was also very touching - one month's rent was RMB 60! But he had his own reasons, "It's relatively hidden here, it's very private, and it's convenient for practice."
"And since we have to buy things next, there is a certain possibility that we will be targeted by others."
"When they find out that we can afford to rent this kind of house, even if they want to do something, they have to think about it."
"Come on," Qu Jianlei agreed feebly. The key is that what the old man said does make sense.
"But then, you will have to worry about making money."
He was not worried at all that the old man would not make money, otherwise how could he have accumulated such a large family fortune? Before, there was no hope of revenge, and he was getting old, so he chose the cat to spend the rest of his life in Universe Six.
"I'm old, of course you are responsible for making money," Bentley replied lightly.
"It's inappropriate for you to say that," Qu Jianlei said sternly, "I have many things to do... don't you two want to get the cultivation method?"
"I can make money," Hua Xiezhi immediately volunteered.
However, although she had this awareness, she had to face a problem, "But I don't have a way to make a lot of money."
Elite Hunter like her is actually not very short of money. She can just take on a few tasks in her free time.
But the expenses here at Hou Jing were so high that it made her scalp numb.
At the rate at which she was making money at Hong-character Settlement Area, she might not be able to pay the rent of the small courtyard after a month of hard work.
Qu Jianlei glanced at the old man speechlessly, "It's not difficult to introduce some ways to make money, right?"
The two of them are new to Tian-character District, so having Old Driver to guide them can avoid detours.
"Yellow Scorpion is also responsible for early warning and security, so how can he go out to work?" Bentley answered casually.
Qu Jianlei glanced at him lightly and said nothing.
Bentley was heartbroken by this sight and took the initiative.
"Okay, I'm here to find ways to make money. If it doesn't work, I'll take care of it first."
There was nothing to talk about that night, and early the next morning, Bentley went out after having breakfast.
Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezhi were doing stance boxing, and they practiced for more than two hours before stopping.
The weather began to get warmer, and the two of them worked up a sweat. Fortunately, there was no shortage of bathroom facilities in the rented house.
If you don't even have this equipment, how can you dare to rent it at such a high price?
After a brief rinse, Hua Xiezhi came to Qu Jianlei and asked, "Can you start trying to practice?"
Qu Jianlei looked at her helplessly, "There are basically no resources, and the old man will never allow you to practice first."
Hua Xiezhi was a little eager to try, "His technique is an improvement, but my practice is brand new..."
"If I think right, isn't it harder to renovate than to plan a new plan?"
"How dare you think about it," Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes at her, "Designing a cultivation method for you is to cross the river by Stone's feet. You must have a reference."
(It's the fourth update again, the ninth day of updating 10,000 words, please support me.)
