Chapter 29 Small Settlements 3
Others say that this place is not peaceful, but I also think that if I just stay still, I will be picked up by the gangsters here. What's more, today is not a good day. We didn't even find anything to eat. It's really enough.
Just messing around.
I heard them say that this badge was the logo of the local church, but someone later carved the four characters "Creation Education" on the back with a clumsy chisel. To be honest, the guys doing street art these days are really
There are quite a few of them, especially those who graffiti on the walls and even over-express their inner emotions. But the badge in front of me is not eye-catching at all. It looks like a prop used to communicate between some organizations, such as VIP or something.
.
I thought about it, we don’t have time to stay here anymore and wonder. So, I looked into the distance, followed the landmark buildings in the north to identify the direction, and then started to move deeper to the east. Regarding the intricate streets, I
There is nothing you can do about them. The street you passed one hour ago will be similar to the street you encounter the next hour.
I can't help it, the buildings here are all too similar, and even have the same style. Many of them are standard 3 to 5-story private buildings, some are short and some are low. In some places, the buildings are built without rules. To put it bluntly, there is no planning. It's blind.
put.
This is very difficult for us outsiders. When I stepped into the alley that I couldn't forget to see the bottom of, I realized that I had lost the direction reference. It was so messy that when I looked up, I could only see a patch of white.
, under the cover of the buildings, the alley looked extremely dark.
"I think we are lost..." I said dejectedly to the two companions behind me: "There is nothing here"!
"Yeah... there's nothing." Wei Lao looked at the empty and long alley, shook his head, and seemed to no longer want to go forward.
"But the place ahead is where they live. Didn't you say you were going to make a fortune?" Lao Lan encouraged us.
"Wait, where did you say you were going?" I asked.
"Where those bastards live, they have hundreds of times more food and resources than we do. We can no longer continue to search for unrealistic resources in such places," Wei Lao mentioned.
He raised his glasses and answered seriously.
Those places? I heard that the gangsters in this area are not good people, at least none of the ones I met. The only thing that can be said to be interesting is that those guys are very united and will not worry about trivial matters.
Just fight each other, it should be, um.
"We are not bastards, Lao Lan." I pointed at his nose and said in a loud voice, "Those people will not welcome us!"
"Indeed, I don't want them to kidnap us immediately when they see us, then take away our remaining equipment and food, and finally hang us in front of the gate for public display."
After listening to Lao Lan's words, my heart dropped.
I leaned close to Wei Lao's ear and whispered to him not to listen to Lao Lan's bad idea. If we go there, it will probably be our last destination. However, I hope they will have enough food there.
, and a romantic atmosphere, it would be better to have an armored vehicle or something, then it would be worth my while. The key is that I prefer to drive around in an armored vehicle, at least without having to bypass the vehicles on the road, and the
Damn alley.
At this time, I put aside my prejudices and began to think about our follow-up journey. Originally, I planned to go to the black market and arms dealers first to find weapons before taking action, until I heard the sound of engines.
"Listen, there is a vehicle coming nearby!" Wei Lao pointed to the end of the main road to the east with his chin, but I looked in the direction he pointed and didn't see anything. But there was a roaring sound next to my ears.
The roar.
It was a burst of roar coming from the diesel engine, which seemed like a devil whispering next to my ears.
So I looked around, looking for the source of the sound, but the low buildings allowed me to see only the gray-white sky. Here I was like a frog in a well, not even a cloud could be seen. So I climbed to a
I ran to the second floor of a building, and then ran along the second floor stairs of this house to the top floor. Finally, I saw the source of the sound: a group of motorcades.
To be specific, it was a search team composed of several different vehicles. The vehicle in the front was just a pickup truck, but the engine sound of that vehicle was not enough to shake the entire alley. The next few motorcycles (not without suspicion)
) The sound of the engine was not serious enough to make the whole land shake. Until I looked around for a while and finally spotted a large vehicle driving past the main road.
That's an infantry fighting vehicle.
I made a sound out of surprise, and then attracted the attention of Lao Lan and Wei Lao. They both looked in the direction I was looking at, and were surprised: the green infantry fighting vehicle crashed into the guardrail, and a
We were walking wildly on this poor land. For a while, I was also sighing at such a landscape, because our current way of traveling is so old-fashioned. It is the 21st century, and we are still walking.
Walking on the streets, even paying for things with cash.
I was in a daze for a while as I watched the armored vehicle push through the earthen wall and continue to move towards the cathedral on the mountainside. My thoughts stayed on this armored vehicle. Yes, I was indeed protected by these armored vehicles.
I am interested in military vehicles. I need them to gain a foothold in this city and to open roads.
"Let's catch up"? I said.
"What? You have to think clearly. If these guys are targeting us, none of our brothers will be able to escape." Lao Lan's words really stimulated me twice.
"Let's go, food and cars, we have to find a way to make money from both." I geared up and changed my plan before the battle. If it hadn't been for the armored vehicle passing by, I would have really thought that Lao Lan was bragging before.
"Aren't you afraid? Now you have changed your mind again"?
I coughed and replied: "It was before but not now."
The two of them looked at me in disbelief, shook their heads seriously, and said in unison: "That's an armored vehicle!"
I didn't answer, but continued to stare blankly at the retreating convoy. For a moment, I quickly found an extremely absurd idea in my mind. I needed to get an armored vehicle, and I needed to find a way to integrate into these gangs.
, and transport their food supplies through this armored vehicle, and then escape unscathed. As for the method, I have already thought of it. Maybe this is rash, but I don't want to miss this opportunity.
"Let's follow"! I patted Lao Lan and Wei Lao on the shoulders, and then chased after them.
I can’t imagine what Lao Lan and Wei Lao’s expressions looked like at that time. Now I pay more attention to my own thoughts, and they will listen to me. Of course, I also thought about it, although it was only for a few seconds, but mainly I
I was thinking about the consequences of this behavior. But what happened next? I didn't have the time to think it through, and I didn't want to delay it. At this moment, the convoy drove another ten meters away.
Fortunately, this is the chaotic Dongcheng District, with slums and unplanned streets everywhere. These vehicles want to cross here in groups. From the current point of view, they are having a hard time. The motorcycle in front has retreated to the side, and now it is leading the way.
It's still an armored vehicle. It can push away the thin cement walls and some obstructions here without any worries. Yes, their speed is very slow, so slow that I can catch up with them at a trot. I breathe evenly while keeping my eyes on
I ran in the direction they were going. At the same time, I also had to ensure that I would not be discovered by anyone else, except Lao Lan and Wei Lao.
I don’t know how long it took, but I followed them all the way to the urban area. Although I almost lost them on the way, I learned to be smart and took advantage of low-rise buildings and tight architectural planning. I flew on the rooftops of many buildings.
, it was not difficult to catch up with them. Then, I saw these convoys parked next to a gas station near the street. They were stopping to refuel. Next to the gas station that was no longer manned by personnel, I saw those vehicles starting to jump out of some people.
They were also wearing eye-catching denim and leather jackets, and they seemed to like getting some scary tattoos. At this moment, they all seemed to get out of the car. Some of them were eating when they needed to eat, relieving themselves when they needed to, and bragging when they needed to.
.
"Are they resting?" I turned around with vigilance and realized that it was Wei Lao who was speaking. The two of them ran to me at some point and looked at the convoy of vehicles under the building with relish.
"It seems so." I replied with a frown.
"It's best"! Wei Lao stared at the last jeep in the convoy and pointed to us, "Look at that guy, they are the furthest away from the convoy"!
I started thinking about how to get the armored vehicle, how to blend into these gangs, and then smuggle out the food we wanted. So I discussed it with Lao Lan and the others, and they still kept away from my plan at first. They thought I was
In the heat of the moment, rushing into the enemy's base is simply courting death.
"I don't want to let my child catch a wolf." I nodded with a bad smile. Looking at the lone jeep and the driver and co-pilot resting nearby, I began to hatch a plan in my mind.
"What's your plan?" they both asked me.
"It's not a good plan, but I think we can try it," I said.
"Forget it, our lives are not at stake. Look at those people. They have all the knives and sticks in their hands, but they lack firearms."
"But guns are banned in Dongcheng District, don't you know? Brother, they want to search for guns in this poor place within a week. Unless they can break down the door of the military management area and the armed ministry warehouse, otherwise..." Wei Lao stopped worriedly.
I stopped talking, and finally uttered the three characters "armored vehicle", which made my heart freeze.
"So, what are you going to do?" Lao Lan looked at me and seemed to have a lot of thoughts about this armored vehicle.
"Let's stare at the last jeep and try to find a way to get past it. We'll first deal with the driver and co-pilot who are resting aside, then steal the car and sneak into their base camp"! I proudly showed off my stupid method.
In reality, my skin is as thick as the atmosphere.
"crazy"!
"Bullshit"!
"What if? You have a better way than me?"
Wei Lao and Lao Lan shook their heads, then frowned and looked at me again.
"What do you mean by this? You don't use your brain, and you don't like the method I propose. Why don't we just kill them directly?" I slightly criticized the two of them.
"No, no, no, just use the same method as before!"
"Are you serious?" Wei Lao looked at us in disbelief.
"Of course"! I said confidently, "it is not difficult to deal with the driver and co-pilot"! So, we adopted this idea, just to blend into their convoy, and then take the opportunity to sneak into their base and find food reserves and armored vehicles
, then grabbed the things and ran away. After discussing the plan, I also proposed a way out, which was to run as fast as I could. The reason was that these people did not have guns, and there were not many people, only about 10 people.
, three people ran into the alley, I guess these people can't catch up even if they are killed. Moreover, there are three people on the motorcycle in front, two people are refueling, there is probably a driver in the armored vehicle, and there are seven or seven pickup trucks and jeeps behind.
There are also 5 people in the 88 vehicles. If they want to focus on dealing with the three of us, they must first protect the armored vehicles.
After that, I sneakily climbed down the building, and sneakily approached the two drivers through the wall. But what I didn’t expect was that just as we were about to approach the two men, I overheard something between them.
This conversation determined my determination to take action.
"I don't think the local gangsters over there will accept us," the young man smoking nearby said to the driver depressingly, "We don't even know what he looks like!"
"We'll get to know each other when we go there. Anyway, they are recruiting people there and we don't have anywhere to go," the driver replied.
I eavesdropped on the conversation between the two of them, and I was secretly proud of myself. Well, these two people were not familiar with these gangs, and they were even strangers to other gang members. This was simply a problem for us.
It's a dream start with a tailwind. This is an opportunity. We must board this thieves' car and use it for our own use. Why can't I get rid of the two of them, then change into their clothes, then follow their convoy, and finally arrive at
What about taking away what we want from their territory? This is obviously an opportunity. After all, these people have just joined this mysterious gang, and we are mixed in. I think the difference should not be big. But what attracts me more is,
Then it was still the armored vehicle and the grain warehouse they had been talking about.
That's right, after listening to their complaints, Wei Lao and I still took action, inserting two daggers into the chests, killing them without leaving any sound or traces. Then we dragged their bodies into the alley, and quickly
They changed into their clothes and walked to the jeep as if nothing had happened.
Soon, I discovered the seriousness of the matter.
Chapter completed!
