The location of this factory building is about thirty miles south of Happy Town. After boarding the modified vehicle, Gecko had already spoken to Troublemaker Kid once. After confirming his location, he drove the modified vehicle like a small airplane.
I have to say, Technological Church is indeed extraordinary.
Their car is not only designed to be extremely comfortable, but its performance is surprisingly good.
Just by simply getting on the road, you can notice that this car is a bit more powerful than the Steel Monster that you took when you and Gecko went out of the city for the first time. With its tall tires and excellent stability, you can go on the rugged road just as steadily and quickly.
Although the straight-line distance was about thirty miles, the road was rugged and covered with weeds, making the walk rather winding. In addition, it had just rained lightly, so Gecko did not dare to drive directly into the wilderness, so he could only move forward along the road for the time being.
Fortunately, the drunkard was scouting the road ahead. If there were any problems, he could come back and let us know in advance, which would save us a lot of unnecessary mistakes.
As they gradually approached Happy Town, everyone was more careful.
In the past, Happy Town has always been a restricted area at major gathering points around it.
Not to mention that no one dares to break in. Some people who sell large goods would rather take a long detour than pass by Happy Town.
This is also the reason why the former Happy Town was called the end of Highway 85.
Because Highway 85 in the pre-civilization era happened to pass through Happy Town, which became a broken circuit.
The end means there is no return.
However, this restricted area that everyone avoids now has changed into something else.
Driving far away from the main road, when passing some higher ground, I looked out and saw that on the road in the distance, there were many convoys heading towards Happy Town in a menacing manner, and people with guns filled the carriages.
During this period, they even saw several forces fighting each other. They fought fiercely.
"Are the people at these gathering points really crazy?"
Gecko felt a little surprised. "Isn't it said that the wilderness has become more and more stable in the past few years? The philosophy everyone believes in has changed from the first to shoot when meeting on a narrow road to winning, to everyone in the wilderness is a brother. If there are no obvious benefits, no gathering point is willing to actually recruit people to fight each other. How come everyone has become so fierce now? Are bullets and lives really free of charge?"
"That's the problem."
Chen Jing also had a cold face and whispered, "No one knows what happened to the people at these gathering points. They all pulled out their own people and marched towards Happy Town. The Songshan Town we sent people to investigate before was probably turned into an empty city because of this."
"However, Troublemaker Kid and the goddess have already gone to investigate this matter. Let's not cause trouble and rush over as soon as possible."
"..."
Under this premise, they tried their best to avoid the armed forces where there were exchanges of fire and the sections where they could meet other people, and just moved forward.
Lu Xin believed in the decision made by Chen Jing and did not interrupt randomly. He just watched quietly. In a short period of time, he encountered several consecutive waves of armed forces heading towards Happy Town. He really had some doubts in his heart and felt abnormal.
Most of these armed forces pulled up a convoy, and the few were just a few motorcycles. Some waved guns in their hands, and some even carried hoes in small groups with machetes in their waists. They also charged forward with a fierce look.
When they encountered a group of dead people blocking their way on the road, they finally stopped the car.
It looked like a fierce battle had just occurred here. A dozen bodies were left behind.
These corpses were stripped of their firearms and were deliberately piled up and placed in the middle of the road. It seemed that the winning side deliberately placed them here to block the way of those who came after them. In other words, there was a faint smell of a demonstration.
"Crunch..."
The modified car stopped in front of the pile of corpses, and a few people who were searching for some odds and ends in the pile of corpses suddenly looked at them warily. At this time, the drunkard was actually standing on one foot on the ground, watching beside them, but they could not see the existence of the drunkard.
Lu Xin knew that Gecko was going to move the body to the wasteland nearby, so he also got out of the car.
Looking up, I saw a few people searching for useful scraps among the corpses. They looked like a big family.
The oldest one was a man in his thirties or forties. He hadn't shaved for an unknown amount of time, and his beard had grown on his face wantonly. He was thin and muscular. There was also a tall woman wrapped in a dirty sheepskin jacket.
The other seven or eight are actually still half-grown children.
The youngest child looked to be only eight or nine years old.
"We were here first, you Gun Kai, otherwise don't blame us for showing off your knives..."
As soon as the children saw the people getting out of the car, they immediately picked up sticks and stones, shouting at the top of their lungs.
"Ouch, brothers, please don't rush to take action..."
Gecko smiled hurriedly and raised his hand, pointed at the pile of corpses, and said, "We are not going to rob these things, but the corpses are here blocking our way. Besides, death is the most important thing. Even if we don't bury people, we can at least let them go into the field next to them and have some shelter, right?"
"Why don't you all lend a hand and send these guys to the grass nearby? We'll go there and you can continue searching..."
"Is it good?"
"..."
Lu Xin who said this had a good impression of Gecko.
He didn't touch the gun directly to threaten him, which was pretty good.
Gecko Seeing that everyone on the other side was silent, he smiled and took out a Zhang Er ten-yuan note.
He smiled and said, "Excuse me..."
The other party suddenly became agitated, mainly because he saw the gun underneath the clothes Gecko lifted up when he took the money.
"Liu Zi, go over and get the money!"
"Others move the bodies!"
"..."
The thin man quickly ordered, and immediately a skinny monkey-like boy rushed over and snatched the money from Gecko's hand.
Others began to hurriedly drag the bodies into the grass nearby, but still looked at Gecko and the others with vigilance.
"I said, where are these brothers going?"
Gecko squatted down and smiled at these people, "It's not peaceful around here. It's better to leave as soon as possible."
"Leave, you want us to leave?"
The thin man, who must be the father of these children, suddenly looked at Gecko with a sinister look, and his vigilance was mixed with a sneer, "We all know that there is a treasure in that place, who can we lie to say we don't know? Why don't our family go get some?"
"Treasure?"
Gecko was slightly startled and looked back at Chen Jing and the others.
Then he shook his head slightly and said to the man, "Brother, listen to me, there are no treasures there, only things scarier than ghosts. You and your family will definitely not be able to get there if you go there. It's better to take your family back and live as soon as possible..."
"Even if there is a treasure, what do you think you, old and young, can grab?"
Lu Xin nodded secretly.
The armed forces from other gathering points just gather in that direction.
It was simply unfathomable that such a family would join in the fun, but the key was that they looked serious.
"The only thing scarier than ghosts is poverty!"
The man was talking nonchalantly and began to pick off the clothes from a corpse on the side of the road. There was a strange ferocity in his eyes:
"It must be possible. There are endless treasures there. As long as we go there, we will definitely be able to share some of them."
"We can't hold the big one, why don't we pick up two pieces of gold and exchange them for food?"
"Boys who live like shit come out one by one. They can't farm well. No matter how much they plant, they can't have enough to eat..."
"..."
Listening to the man's muttering and the fierce look on his face pulling at the dead man's clothes, and looking at the gray children dragging the body hard with cold eyes, even Gecko couldn't hold back the smile on his face.
How could he not see at this time that the whole family seemed to be seriously affected?
"We were able to stop this family, but not more."
Chen Jing had been sitting in the car and suddenly spoke in a low voice. He didn't know who he was talking to:
"So, it is better to carry out the task now and solve the problem from the source."
"..."
Lu Xin agreed with this and saw that the body had been almost moved, so he prepared to return to the car.
But at this moment, there was a sudden fierce yell, which startled everyone, but it was the kid who came to take the money from Gecko's hand. He suddenly jumped forward and stabbed Gecko in the back, with a ferocious expression on his face.
But he didn't stab anyone, and he was at least one meter away from Gecko.
Gecko After being startled, he turned to look at the drunkard on the roadside and saw that her pupils had shrunk slightly.
Only then did she realize that she had distorted the child's vision, making him mistakenly believe that he had been stabbed.
It was obvious that the child was not the only one who had the illusion. The other children also rushed over when they saw it.
Each of them waved the bricks or wooden sticks in their hands and beat them hard on the surrounding ground and air.
There was even one with twisted muscles on his face like earthworms.
He grinned, biting the air fiercely, and kept stabbing the air with the rusty knife in his hand.
"Stab you to death, stab you to death, stab you to death..."
"He must have more money..."
"Mom, dad, come on, kill them. We have guns and cars. We can definitely grab the treasure..."
"..."
The thin man and the strong woman showed surprise on their faces and hurried up. The whole family worked together, catching people and tying their hands. They picked up rocks and banged them on the ground while hurriedly dragging them into the grass next to them.
Watching this family fighting against non-existent enemies, the surroundings became quiet for a while.
With a drunkard nearby, no one in this family can be harmed.
In other words, even if there is no drunkard, their family cannot threaten anyone.
But looking at their fierce expressions and fierce movements, it still makes people feel chills running down their backs.
"Let's go!"
Chen Jing in the car sighed softly, "Let them fight here for a while, maybe they can still save their lives."
After everyone was silent for a while, they all returned to the car.
Everyone, including the drunkard exploring the area outside, was obviously in a depressed mood.
Only Kid was still staring with big eyes. I don't know why everyone suddenly became unhappy.
