The last person to visit is the person in charge of this station, the leader, and his adoptive father Alexey Sukhoi.
"Dong dong dong." Xie Yuan stood at the door and knocked.
"Come in." Alexei responded, and then Xie Yuan opened the door and walked in. Alexei looked at Xie Yuan who was ready to go and praised, "Are you ready to go? Very good."
"You may have heard that our station is preparing to form an alliance with the Riga station. We are about to send them several trucks of humanitarian relief supplies: some weapons and some equipment." Although he was describing, Alexey was still the same.
He paid some attention to the documents on the table, and didn't look up at Xie Yuan until he signed the documents. "The trucks you want to protect are carrying these things. The road is not too long, and it shouldn't be too dangerous."
.”
"If there is danger, I will do everything possible to bring the person back." Xie Yuanxiang's adoptive father promised.
"Uh... yes, it's best for people to stay alive. We haven't been short of supplies to a critical point yet, but Artyom," Alexey suddenly looked at Xie Yuan in a very serious manner and spoke, "I
I know you respect hunters very much, but the life of rangers... is completely different from ours. They are born to be reckless... even rough.
Acting as a hero will not end well, so don't cause trouble. After you escort the caravan to its destination, you must go home immediately."
"I know, but I still have to return the dog tags. This is a promise he made to me. A man cannot break his promise," Xie Yuan looked at his adoptive father who was already slightly tired and insisted on his own thoughts.
, "But I also promise you that I will find a way to come back after doing this, and as far as possible... I will not have anything to do with them."
This is true, because Xie Yuan has been entangled with the Russian army for too long. From the Red Army in World War II to the KGB secret force, he witnessed how a country's regular army was forced from humans to beasts, and then from beasts to domesticated humans.
.
He has no intention of joining the Rangers. If possible, he will come back and continue his plan to increase the "vegetable basket" after dealing with the black monsters.
"Well, after all, you have grown up, and this is a commendable behavior." Alexei also discovered that his adopted son was also 24 years old, "Goodbye, my child."
…
After saying goodbye to his adoptive father, Xie Yuan immediately rushed to the subway track. In the wide area of the current subway station, people kept pigs in pens, which were quite precious assets.
It takes more than a dozen emp-44s made from scrap materials to buy a pig, and both are urgently needed, which shows how precious they are.
"Our food is still too little and too monotonous." Xie Yuan thought that the subway has always relied on mushrooms as its staple food...but what if the mushrooms suffer from agricultural diseases and the harvest is wiped out?
However, this was not a problem that could be solved in a day or two. Xie Yuan suppressed the idea. By the time he arrived, almost all the people going to Riga Station had arrived.
The leader of the caravan was wearing a modified dog-skin hat with a flashlight and an old brown leather jacket. He waved to Xie Yuan.
"Artem! Come here! Hurry!" Looking at Xie Yuan approaching, the leader still greeted him with concern and asked if Xie Yuan was lagging behind, "Hello! Are you ready to go?"
"Everything is ready." Xie Yuan patted his chest confidently.
"Are you ready? Let's go then!" The leader of the caravan immediately sat in the driving seat of a hand-operated human-powered rail car. He pointed to the two seats opposite and designated positions for Eugene and Xie Yuan: "Al
Jiaom, you sit here, Eugene, you sit there."
After sitting down, Eugene asked Xie Yuan again: "Have you got your equipment?"
After receiving a positive reply, he immediately announced: "Let's go!"
"Wait, hey, man!" A foreigner suddenly appeared on the roadside. He looked at the caravan leader and asked: "Are you going to Riga Station?"
After receiving a positive reply, the out-of-towner asked: "Can you give me a ride?"
The leader of the caravan welcomed this, and the only cost of travel was to help shake the lever, and the outsiders had no objections, so there were four people in total for the escort this time.
The leader of the caravan also started the journey. He first said a congratulatory message to the people on both sides of the car: "Everything is ready! Good luck to everyone who stays at home! Good luck to us too!"
Let’s go! Are you ready to go?”
The outsider first shook the lever to start the rail car, and the moment the car started running on the rails, Eugene could no longer hold back his excitement and shouted:
"Wow! Artem! We are finally free... at least on this trip. This business trip should be fun... or dangerous, or even better, don't you think?"
"How do you want me to answer?" Xie Yuan looked at Eugene and didn't know what to say. "The monsters within a two-kilometer radius of the entire exhibition hall trembled when they saw me. Except for the black monster, I don't know any of them here.
The mutant dares to look directly at me."
But there is no need to explain this to outsiders.
…
Although it was Xie Yuan's first time traveling far away, Xie Yuan's heart was not disturbed at all. He had been everywhere around the exhibition hall station, from underground to above ground.
He had killed all the mutant creatures that crossed the border, except for the black monsters, and there were quite a few of them. It was just that when the patrol followed him, he had never gone up there.
The journey of the handmade railcar was still very boring, even though it was just outsiders shaking the lever, but fortunately, we soon reached the next station... the station of the alliance allies.
When they arrived at a popular place, the leader also started chatting. He asked the outsiders: "Where are you from?"
"I'm from Riga," the outsider began to slow down the rhythm of turning the lever, and answered the leader, "I'm a bullet maker, and I'm bringing in some raw materials."
"I bet you have been to a lot of places, right?" Eugene also became a little interested. He was eager to learn about the outside world.
"Yes, right to the right of Riga Station is the Market Station, which is a big subway station." The outsider recalled, "I used to do business regularly in the metropolis, but now I can't go there without some luck.
Yes, because you have to pass through Hanseatic territory to get there.”
"Why are there traffic restrictions?" Eugene felt uncomfortable hearing the restrictions, which meant that he could not go out and play freely.
"The Hanseatic League is becoming more and more powerful, and many stations are subject to their rule, so they are connected to many transfer stations, but they are relatively exclusive." The outsider explained the current situation to Eugene. After all, it is difficult to find a conversation partner.
, “If you don’t want to go through Hansa, you have to go through a station that is redlined, hacked, or controlled by bandits.
These guys have been fighting non-stop lately - they're always like this, either fighting this one or that one."
There are hundreds of Moscow subway stations, some of which did not have much population before the war. Coupled with frequent population movements, war massacres and mutant creatures that broke through the defenses, they gradually became deserted.
Some bandits and robbers who did not engage in production and only relied on robbery to solve their food and clothing problems took a fancy to them and made their nests there, but this did not happen near the exhibition hall.
"Bandits are basically a story here," Eugene suddenly leaned back, his face full of pride. "There are basically no abandoned sites near us, and they all have a role."
"I know that your patrol team is strong and has eliminated all the bandits nearby." When the outsider said this, his face was filled with envy.
After finishing the gossip, we continued to drive the car. Next to us were soldiers wearing miner's lamp caps patrolling both sides of the track. However, unexpectedly, the track that used to be smooth was suddenly blocked today.
A soldier stopped the car at the door of the office controlling the switchboard: "Guys, stop for a moment!"
"What's the matter, Peter?" The leader of the caravan obviously knew the soldier, and he asked about the situation.
The soldier named Peter also knew everything: "The military transport team is trapped not far from Alexeyevsk. I don't know if the tunnel collapsed or something happened. You have to go through the maintenance tunnel and go around it.
Alexeyevsk.”
"What the hell!" the unlucky caravan leader scolded directly, "I hate this tunnel."
But not wanting to waste a moment, he chose to change his route: "Okay, Peter, open the door. We can't stay here forever..."
"Why are you so depressed?" Eugene is really a newborn calf and doesn't know anything. "Is there something wrong with that tunnel?"
"Well... that's an ordinary tunnel, the lighting is not very good, maybe... I passed by somewhere last month, and... well, I just don't like it there anyway." The leader was obviously very taboo about this tunnel.
"We are riding a hand-cranked cart and have guns. We should be able to get there safely." The leader comforted himself. The door was opened and the outsiders also started to crank up the cart.
But as he drove into the tunnel, Xie Yuan's mental alarm went off because he sensed a creature in front of him...
