The "Predator" tank drove towards the direction of the sound.

"Just wait where you are!" Jack Spinner broadcast to the outside world.

On the undulating black and red mounds, the armored vehicles were on the ground, and no one attacked them anymore.

Behind a mound somewhere, the party calling out had a broken straw sandal hung on a wooden stick and raised up, which was a very eye-catching guidance sign.

Lu Ming saw it and was quite smart.

The armored vehicle quickly drove over, and in the ravine behind the mound, Lu Ming saw the target person.

Behind a few wormwood and wild wheat plants, they looked like a woman and a man. The man was very short, a dwarf, and there was another person lying in the soil, as if he had been seriously injured.

Seeing the chariot parked not far away, the man and woman hesitated for a moment and slowly approached.

The woman is tall, with long fluffy hair covering most of her face. The linen robe wrapped around her body is in tatters and dirty, and the original color cannot be seen. She is the musketeer, with her hands raised high.

Firecrackers were fired.

The dwarf man looked very strong, probably because of his deformity. He had a bald head and his face was covered with plant juices or sandworm secretions. He looked very alert and held the iron rod in his hand tightly.

Jack was the first to step off the tank, while Maxim rotated the machine gun on the roof turret to warn all sides.

At the same time, he also shouted a warning to the surroundings, "Start now! Both parties to the conflict stop all actions and are not allowed to approach us without receiving instructions. Otherwise, they will be shot to death!"

In the ravine here.

"Give me your name..." Before Jack could finish his words, Lu Ming, who was behind him, said, "Tell them we're going to see the wounded first."

Jack immediately said: "Don't move, my Lord will go over and diagnose your injured people now!"

Lu Ming stepped forward. Yuanba, who was dressed in explosion-proof equipment, walked closely beside Lu Ming. The explosion-proof shield in his hand was always ready to protect Junshang, and the other hand held a miniature submachine gun hanging around his neck.

Lu Ming is also very careful when traveling now. He wears a bullet-proof helmet and a thick body-proof vest. As long as he doesn't get shot in the head or suffer serious heart injuries, the body's self-healing ability is still very strong.

Lu Ming did not stop when he passed by a man and a woman.

The dwarf with the iron rod wanted to stop him, but the woman made a gesture, and the dwarf gritted his teeth and stepped aside.

"Click, click", suddenly there was a sound of machine gun, obviously it was fired several times.

Maxim shouted loudly: "No one is allowed to come near, otherwise we will kill without mercy!"

For the besieging party, now that the chariots have stopped and the uninvited guests have dismounted from the steel vehicles and are in contact with their enemies, some of them think that they have an opportunity and it is the best time to attack.

"Da da"

"Ah..." There was a scream in the distance. It was obvious that someone did not believe in evil, and he was named by Maxim.

Maxim and others follow the principles of your Majesty and will not shoot easily, but if they do shoot, they will not deliberately avoid vital points or anything like that. Firstly, the accuracy of gun shooting is not that high; secondly, with today's

Due to medical conditions, avoiding serious injuries to vital organs will only make the injured suffer more for a period of time.

Lu Ming was not affected by the incident outside and walked to the injured person and knelt down to look at it.

It was a teenage boy, pale and in a coma, breathing rapidly.

But he was not injured, there were no wounds on his body.

Lu Ming stood up and said, "Don't move him so easily. Ask Mrs. Zhang to come and take a look."

Yuanba looked around, slowly put down the explosion-proof shield in his hand, took the walkie-talkie from behind his waist, and said a few words inside.

After a while, a roar was heard in the distance, and a motorcycle raced and landed on the black red soil slope, displaying dazzling driving skills.

The motorcycle screeched to a stop after falling into the ravine here. The rider on the car was wearing a black explosion-proof protective suit. She flipped up the helmet visor in a chic way. The hot girl with brown hair and blue eyes was Miss Zhang.

Every time he saw this beautiful special agent who he named Zhang Xiaoniangzi, Lu Ming would smile bitterly. The name he gave her before they met was too inconsistent.

And who would have thought that this hot girl knight is an extremely excellent military doctor? She can also fly tanks, helicopters, and now airships. She is also an excellent gunner, and her fighting skills are not bad either.

The elite talent mechanism that the New World has cultivated since its infancy is indeed remarkable, but it is more cruel to the talents themselves, especially those who have been eliminated in the competition.

This mechanism has now been abolished.

Mrs. Zhang took out a small medicine box from the trunk of her motorcycle and quickly came to the unconscious man's side.

After some observation and diagnosis, a tube of medicine was injected into the comatose person.

Standing up, Mrs. Zhang whispered to Lu Ming: "Sir, he has been malnourished. He suffered from hypoglycemia caused by a short period of strenuous exercise. I injected him with hypertonic sugar. He should wake up in a while. I will give him some more at that time."

Nutrient sugar.”

Lu Ming nodded slightly.

The woman who had been watching hesitantly took two steps forward, caressed her chest and bowed slightly, "My name is Laphne. Dear citizens of the city, were you treating my brother just now? How is he?"

The thick dwarf-like dwarf next to the woman loudly said: "My eldest sister, Musket Laphne, a perfect marksman, the lord of the dwarf hill!" Seeing him proudly proclaiming the title of eldest sister, it was indeed very impressive.

I admire my eldest sister.

Laphne glanced at the dwarf awkwardly and scolded: "Stop talking nonsense!"

Lu Ming nodded: "Your brother's life should not be in danger, but wait and see, oh, Dwarf Hill, there are many dwarves? What kind of settlement is it? I have been in contact with crazy Ya Heng, and there are no nearby settlements he mentioned.

I heard that there are dwarves. In other words, the settlement he mentioned is the people who are hunting you? So you are invading their territory?"

Laphne shook her head helplessly, "Yes, it's our fault, but we have been hiding from ferocious beasts underground, but the resources stored by our ancestors are getting less and less. If this continues, our group will perish, so I have violated our ancestors'

The centuries-old legacy came to the surface, and was immediately attacked."

"Dwarf Daqiu, are there many dwarves?" Lu Ming asked with some concern.

"Yes, especially in the past ten years, almost all the babies born are the size of Yak. Some people say this is a curse from the devil, while others say it is a blessing from our ancestors, so that we can survive better underground..." Ravni

Sigh softly.

The Yak she was talking about must be the tough dwarf next to her. When talking about the development of the ethnic group towards dwarfism, Yak was not shy. Obviously, this topic is not a taboo topic for this Daqiu settlement. It is often discussed.

Talked about.

Lu Ming nodded: "Now that I've heard one side of your story, it's time to listen to the other side. If it's not a blood feud, I hope we can mediate. We are all survivors, and the enemy is a ferocious beast. Between us humans,

We should live in peace."

Lu Ming also knew that he was just talking empty talk, and he thought there were many wise men in the human race who promoted this idea.

But the problem is that the desert continent produces only a few resources each season, and there is a competitive relationship between the settlements. Collecting more resources or collecting less resources may be a matter of life and death for the settlement. This is not an empty talk of wise men at all.

The bloody reality that words can change.

Over there, Jack shouted again from the loudspeaker, "Listen, the attacking party, now send your representatives to come to my Lord to explain your case. My Lord will decide whether you are right or wrong! You can come here now, only one person is allowed.

, will not be attacked by us!”

A few minutes later, Laphne's brother suddenly moved and slowly opened his eyes, "Sister?..."

Laphne, who had been paying attention to her brother's every move, immediately rushed over, "Ah, you're awake? Are you still feeling uncomfortable? How is your body feeling?" Laphne held her brother's hand, looking very nervous.

Mrs. Zhang handed a glucose solution to Laphne and asked her to feed her brother orally. Laphne even thanked her with tears in her eyes.

While Ravni was concerned about her brother's situation and talking to him, someone from the settlement that was besieging Ravni and her friends raised their hands and slowly approached the armored tank.

When he was more than ten steps away, a slave commando rushed over, frisked him, and led him into a safe circle.

He is a tall, thin man with scars all over his face. Although his robe is patched, it is very clean.

When he came to Lu Ming, he stroked his chest slightly and said, "Honorable Mr. Third, Lord of the City State, I am Max from the Land of Black Fire. I would like to say hello to you!"

Lu Ming nodded slightly. This was the leader of the Black Fire Village whom madman Ya Heng mentioned, Hell Max. It is said that he likes to burn prisoners who disobey him alive.

Came alone.

Speaking of which, in the last days, the leaders of these settlements are rarely hereditary. Even if a capable person takes over, the settlement residents will support him if they think they can survive by following him.

They are all ruthless characters, and none lack courage. Back then, Madman Ya Heng also followed him to Hedong Town alone, and at that time, he had no idea what he was going to face.

The same was true for the Hell Max in front of him. Facing a powerful enemy that was impossible to defeat, as the leader, he went into danger alone.

"Raphne, come too!" Jack shouted to the other side.

Although she was still a little worried about her brother, when the life and death of the settlement was involved, Ravni came in a hurry.

"Leader Max, please explain the reason why you attacked Laphne and others."

It was Jack who spoke.

Lu Ming paced slowly, as if waiting for both parties to state their reasons before giving a verdict.

"They suddenly appeared in the red ditch where we usually collect resources! Part of the soil there has not been corroded, and it is our settlement..." Max gritted his teeth, "It is a restricted area where our tribe is experimenting with growing wild wheat..."

After hesitating, he finally revealed the settlement's biggest secret.

If outside settlements knew that there was such a piece of land, they would probably swarm here immediately.

Lu Ming nodded, this is the core interest of the Black Fire Settlement, a red line that cannot be touched.

Laphne was stunned, "I, I saw a lot of wild wheat there, and I thought, I thought, the ground was different from what the ancestors said. I was so happy that I wanted to go back and notify the whole clan to move up..."

Jack said to her at this time: "Chief Laphne, tell Chief Max about your origins."

Lu Ming nodded inwardly, Jack was becoming more and more adept at diplomacy.

Ravni hesitated for a moment, then said to Max: "My tribe lives underground, with a population of 121 people..."
