"Where are we now?" Ademar held the two maps and compared them back and forth irritably.
If there is evidence that God prefers Night City, it must be in the differential treatment of major storms. The wind in the Night City area is always milder than in other places, and its satellite images are also clearer.
After leaving the Night City area, Anthony and the others finally realized how unique their previous conditions were.
They are just like the first navigators who went to sea to 'discover' the world. The surface of the earth is like the endless sea. Except for sand, it is sand. Without reference objects, they can only use sextants and mechanical watches to determine their own position.
Latitude and longitude.
Due to the impact of the big storm, their use of sextants was greatly restricted. Only under excellent weather conditions could Anthony determine his latitude.
But fortunately, there are no obstacles on the surface now because of the big storm. The rivers have been dried up, the valleys have been filled in, and even if there are mountain peaks, they have been paved with sand and turned into hills.
When only walking in a straight line, you can determine your position every three days, and the error is still within the acceptable range.
"If we didn't go in the wrong direction, we should be close to Pomona by now." Anthony replied calmly. His years of working as a supervisor in the shelter had given him a good temper.
.
"Pomona? What the hell is that place?" Ademar looked at the map for a long time before suddenly realizing: "We drove for two days and traveled less than fifty kilometers?"
Their speed is indeed not very fast, especially when they fall in love when the route is uncertain, they often take one step back for fear of getting the car stuck.
"Forget it, we can at least look at the sky and bask in the sun now. This is something we can't enjoy in the shelter." Ademar's temper comes and goes quickly, and his sensibility makes people feel
The feeling is completely different from the mechanical maintenance industry.
But Ademar may indeed be one of the most skilled mechanics in the world.
Maybe there are better people than him in a place like Base Zero, but there is absolutely no way those people would waste their lives on the surface with Anthony, while they are still busy maintaining the reactor.
"I should have brought my board shorts, damn, there's sand everywhere." Ademar put on his sunglasses and put his feet on the console. Beamon's cab was big enough, even if he wanted to come here
There is room for 3P at a time.
In the carriage behind Beamon, the woman who ran away from Luther's shelter was cooking. She was trying to use magic to make the crops in the gray fields more delicious.
"Nancy, don't bother. We have spent thirteen years determining that it is almost impossible to save this thing from the taste." Jesse kindly reminded: "We are used to this kind of food."
Even though he said this, Nancy still looked determined to not give up until she reached her goal, and her mental state seemed to be affected.
"Look, our foreign boy is acting like an old Night City guy now. What are you going to do next? Call yourself a Valentino?" Domingo sneered and looked at him with thorny eyes.
.
Jesse stood up immediately, looked at the Valentino man angrily, gritted his teeth and said: "I will never, never say that I am a Valentino man! This word makes me feel sick! Do you understand?
!”
"Take back what you said!" Domingo had already been prepared for this and immediately jumped up. He was just unhappy with this traitor and he never concealed his hostility towards such outsiders.
"Absolutely! Over the years, I have watched you people under the banner of Valentino making trouble in the shelter! I have had enough!" Jesse swung his fist, but Domingo dexterously dodged it.
opened.
Domingo used short and fast counterattacks, and instantly fooled Jesse: "I won the fighting championship in the shelter for three consecutive years, idiot!"
Virginho, who came out of Vault 97, and several other people stepped forward to try to separate the two, but Domingo was worthy of being the fighting champion who came out of Valentino's Vault. Even if they came together, they couldn't hold him down.
Domingo.
Fortunately, Domingo didn't attack anyone else. He just avoided every hug nimbly, and then used every opportunity to hit Jesse.
One punch, two punches, Jesse was soon changed beyond recognition, but at this moment Domingo suddenly felt a thick and powerful arm pulling him into his arms from behind. The naked-hanging posture was completed, and he instantly became someone else's.
What's in the bag.
Domingo pushed the opponent with his back, but without moving, he patted the opponent's arm and surrendered.
He knew what he could do and what he couldn't do, including beating someone to death in the car, but wounding him was not a consideration.
Anthony let go of his arm, helped him straighten his collar, and pointed at Jesse: "This is the first time and the last time. If this happens again, I don't care about your background or the reason. You
It’s best to walk back to Night City alone.”
"My fault." Domingo took a few steps back to show that he respected Anthony's will.
However, just when both parties thought the matter was settled, Nancy suddenly pointed out the car window and asked others: "Is that a truck?"
Um?
Almost everyone looked in the direction Nancy pointed, and then everyone blinked in confusion, because they did see two rusty-looking trucks approaching from one side outside.
Beamon's speed is not very fast. It can be said that in order to ensure safety, it has been traveling at cruising speed.
If Beamon's functions were complete, these trucks would have been detected by radar as early as one kilometer away. But now this Beamon is just a moving empty shell, and the cab can only see the road conditions directly ahead. For this
There is no alert for such an object coming from behind.
"Ademar! We are with you!" Anthony ignored the internal strife in the car and ran directly back to the cab and took over the steering wheel again.
Beamon was like a wild horse running wild, and he started to accelerate instantly. He didn't know who was in those broken trucks, but the obvious malice was already coming towards him!
As Beamon speeded up, the members of the car also widened their eyes, looking through the portholes at the two trucks that suddenly appeared, as well as the pairs of scarlet eyes and pale skin.
"Food!" the man in the truck shouted excitedly: "Toys!!"
The moment they saw Nancy, the Kona group became even more excited: "Woman!"
An overly excited cannibal took off his pants and climbed out of the carriage, intending to express his excitement, but the next second he was blown away by the strong wind and fell far into the sand.
