Chapter 24 Passing by the Rebels

Chapter 24 A brush with the rebels

"What do you call your friends?" Zhuang Quan asked.

"Zhang Hao

"Then I'll call you Mr. Zhang!" Zhuang Quan said, "Do you know what I want?"

"Biomass reaction device!" Zhang Haoxuan said, "I was responsible for purchasing this machine back then. How could I not know about it?"

He led Zhuang Quan into a building. The smell around him made Zhuang Quan frown, but the other party looked very happy!

This place is so dilapidated. To say that the house has only four walls is to praise it. There are no rooms at all, only special holes filled with a large amount of garbage, compounds and dirt.

After the construction of the planetary engine, these things were abandoned for twenty years, and it was unimaginable that they could be inhabited.

Soon, they came to a larger cave. Here, lying a large piece of equipment that was taller than three people, was covered with dust, dirt and blood. It looked very dirty and worn out.

"This was the best treasure twenty-five years ago. There are only ten special equipments in the world that can conduct a simulated biological experiment in a few hours and directly produce medicines!" Zhang Haoxuan looked enthusiastic.

He stroked the device and said, "Although it has been there for twenty years, as long as I have enough money and electricity, I can repair it!"

Then he shook his head in annoyance, walked out of the remaining memories, and faced Zhuang Quan: "Twenty pounds of synthetic flour, this machine is yours!"

Zhuang Quan nodded, not paying attention to the other party's desperate desire to communicate. In this era, even a worker digging stones on the street might be the president of a small country, but who cares?

He took off his backpack and took out bags of vacuum-packed bread: "Each bag is 100 grams. There are a hundred bags in total. Can you count them?"

"No, no!" Zhang Haoxuan looked at him in shock and took the bread with trembling hands, "This...is this cheese bread?"

"Yeah!" Zhuang Quan nodded. He was not surprised. 20 pounds of flour and 20 pounds of bread are not comparable. He also added sugar and cheese. Just one bag might be exchanged for several pounds of flour in someone else's hands.

.

But he couldn't exchange for flour for the time being, and he didn't think about carrying the flour around, so naturally he could only use these things to make up the money.

For him, instead of buying a bag of flour, unpacking it and pouring it into the bag, it would be easier to just buy the bread!

"Change it! This machine is yours!" The man looked excited, picked up the bag without hesitation, packed the bread in, and was about to leave!

"What a big guy!" Zhuang Quan stood here, looking at the machine with some emotion. Such a big machine is really difficult to transport!

However, just when he was about to grab the machine and cross, there were sudden footsteps at the door.

Zhang Haoxuan ran in in a panic, holding a knife in his hand, pointing at him, and glaring at Zhuang Quan, "Damn it, are you calling the rebels?"

"Resistance?" Zhuang Quan was stunned. This is the name the people in the ruins gave to the rebels, but why did those guys come to such a place where there is no money or water?

If you came here for this matter, who leaked the secret?

He didn't look at Zhang Haoxuan's knife. People who were still hanging around in the ruins these days didn't have the courage to use a knife. "Who else did you tell about our deal?"

"No one knows that I even wrote my records on my clothes!" Zhang Haoxuan was very excited, "I saw you dressed so well, and I thought you were a civilized person in the dungeon, but you actually wanted to take advantage of others!

"

"Not you?" Zhuang Quan frowned. So, was he exposed by the scavengers?

Also, how can those bugs hanging around in the ruins have any sense of contract?

"Da da da!" The fierce gunshots made Zhang Haoxuan shrink back to the machine in fear, his whole body trembling!

"If they didn't see me, they were just here to patrol and wouldn't take away my food..." He was mumbling to himself, hypnotizing himself.

Zhuang Quan had already poked his head out and saw a group of people being executed in the distance. They were a group of ragged and dilapidated people, being held in a puddle. Behind them were a group of rebels with different skin colors!

Those people seemed to be the scavengers who negotiated terms with him yesterday, and now, these people have become prisoners of the other party and seem to be being executed!

"How did these people come to a place like this?" Zhuang Quan was a little confused. He continued to walk forward and came to a closer building, where he could barely hear their conversation.

The first is the scavenger who bursts into tears:

"Sir, we really don't know where there is a secret passage to the dungeon. You can't get it even if you kill us!"

"Then the food you have in packaging bags is dug out of graves, isn't it?" the sergeant's voice was cruel and violent.

"Peng!" After a gunshot, there were horrified shouts and heavy breathing.

"Tell me, where did these things come from?"

"It...was given to us by an underground city dweller. He was looking for complete construction machinery!" He replied hastily.

"Resident? Where is he?"

"He said he would come to trade with Lao Zhangtou today, and if he finds Lao Zhangtou, he can be found!"

"Get up! Go find him!" A staggering voice came out of the water.

"Seal this place before the city defense forces arrive here!" A greedy voice sounded, "We want to get his food channels!"

Zhuang Quan suddenly turned around and ran back into this hollow from the room he was in.

He knew that those scavengers were unreliable, but he never thought that these guys actually brought rebels!

Facing these rebels, his status as a dungeon dweller is not an advantage, but a pure burden!

How can those guys who didn't go into the dungeon have such a crazy reputation if they didn't skin them and cramp them?

Zhuang Quan's head turned rapidly. He had to leave here first, otherwise he would be caught by those guys!

However, these people also revealed good news to him. The city defense force should arrive soon. He just needs to survive this period of time!

"Boss, someone has been here!" The voice in his ears made Zhuang Quan's hair stand on end. Why are these people so fast?

He no longer hesitated, walked to the side of the machine, and prepared to take the machine across time.

Then he saw Zhang Haoxuan who was still hiding in the corner. He couldn't bear it and asked, "What were you doing here twenty-five years ago?"

"Director of the Biological Research Laboratory!" He was also a smart man. Looking at Zhuang Quan's posture, he seemed to think that the other party could save him, so he said without hesitation.

Zhuang Quan did not ask him how a scientist at the director level of a biological research laboratory could get to this point. What are the sequelae caused by abandoning half of the population?

"I can take you to a safe place, but after you go there, you will never be able to come back!" Zhuang Quan said, and he was ready to try to take people through time!

"Go! I'll go!" Zhang Haoxuan didn't hesitate at all. He was already miserable like this. Could it be even worse?

Anyway, if you are caught by the rebels, you will die, and maybe they will be used to make food, so why not take advantage of it!

This man who knew his destiny and his age still wanted to take a gamble after all!

Zhuang Quan looked at the vaguely visible figures, grabbed the man with one hand and the machine with the other, silently muttering: "Panel, shuttle!"

With a "whoosh", the two people disappeared from the spot, leaving only a bag of bread, which fell to the ground with a "click".

"Biubiu!" A line of bullets fired directly over, passing through the wall, leaving a row of small holes on the other side of the wall...

If they had walked slower, both of their lives would have been saved!
