Qu Jianlei and the other three didn't know that the small team that had been expelled had been guarding them outside for most of the day.
Bentley may have thought of it, but he didn't care about competing with the modified warriors. How many mechas did he prepare?
Anyway, along the way, most of them avoided it, but they would occasionally encounter temptations.
It's just that most of these people who are testing do not dare to launch an attack without saying anything. What if the heavy truck belongs to a big force?
Therefore, choosing a heavy truck can save a lot of trouble.
But even so, you will still encounter blind people. No matter what society, there is always a shortage of people who take risks.
In the wasteland, there are a lot more people with red eyes like this.
What makes them feel depressed is that after several battles, they actually lost money.
Even Bentley couldn't help but yell, "Damn it, you want to ambush a heavy truck with a weak gun and a few gunmen?"
"With this kind of intelligence, it's better to make human meat buns for the degenerate."
After walking for almost a month, the three of them finally reached the edge of the Zhouzi area.
The edge of the Zouzi area is a desert, but winter is coming, and Bentley said that this is the time to cross the desert.
If you travel through the desert in summer, you will consume much more water than in winter, and various desert creatures will be very active.
It took another month to cross the desert, and I also encountered some creatures... Finally, it was okay, and I didn't lose any money.
The strange thing is that the settlement area we arrived at was not the "Yuzi" area, but the Huangzi settlement area.
In Bentley's words, it's okay to go to Yuzi District, but it's easier to come to Huangzi District, even if the road in the desert is more difficult.
When I came to Huangzi, I felt that the weather was completely different and the environment here was better.
There are actually sporadic farmlands. Although most of them are grown in greenhouses, they are indeed different.
The public security is also relatively better... so there is basically no one staring blankly at the heavy trucks.
In many outdoor camps, children can be seen everywhere.
It can be seen that the living environment here is much better than that in Hongzi and Zhouzi. Not only children can grow up, but people also dare to give birth.
However, there are more formal inspections, not only in settlements, but also occasionally in wild camps.
Qu Jianlei's heavy truck even encountered a surprise inspection in the wild.
There were at least four cars and a dozen motorcycles on the opposite side. As soon as they encountered them, the other party signaled them to stop and undergo inspection.
Hua Scorpion's answer was that he fired directly without pointing at anyone, but his attitude was very obvious.
The person on the other side was obviously stunned for a moment, and then a motorcyclist came over carrying a white flag.
The driver said that we are arresting wanted criminals and all suspicious persons must be inspected.
Bentley took out an object and showed it, without saying much, and the other party immediately became respectful.
However, even so, this person still said that he wanted to check the identities of other people and inspect the vehicles.
When Bentley heard this, his face immediately dropped, "Let me take a look at your ID."
The driver could only hesitantly say that I was not an official, I was just helping out.
"Go away," Bentley took out a cigarette and lit it, squinting his eyes and speaking, "If you don't leave, we will take action."
The rider really didn't dare to stab him, "Then I'll notify them and ask for someone with credentials to come?"
Bentley snorted disdainfully, "If the certificate level is sufficient, the little guy who comes... won't be an idiot like you."
The things he co-authored have considerable authority, and ordinary inspectors are not qualified to inspect people and vehicles.
The driver was stunned. He didn't know the extent of the other party's identity, so he could only turn around and go back to report.
The convoy over there discussed it and gave a "pass" signal.
When Qu Jianlei saw this, he couldn't help but look at the old man and said, "Old Ben, your skills are very good."
"They are just non-staff forces assisting in the investigation," Bentley drove slowly, "maybe they want to fish in troubled waters."
The wasteland is still the same wasteland. The order in the yellow zone is a little better, but only a little better.
It took the three of them more than two months to travel through the yellow-character area, and then they reached the "Xuanzi" level.
That's right, from the Huangzi to Xuanzi settlements, there aren't many natural barriers. The obstacles are the checkpoints.
Of course, all the matters related to customs clearance were left to Bentley, an old man.
The old man did not disappoint them either, and passed the test immediately.
Other investigations were inevitable. This time Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezi changed their identities and became Bentley's "attendants".
The old man's ability to forge his identity is indeed not simple, and he has the power to bring his entourage in.
The gatekeeper also briefly inspected the vehicle, but when he saw that the vehicle was full of supplies, he didn't covet it at all.
On the contrary, they looked at Bentley with a hint of fear in their eyes.
Only an old man like this can carry so much supplies and come back safely from the Yellow Zone, right?
The order of the settlement area is "Tian Xuan Di Huang", not "Tian Di Xuan Huang". Entering the Xuan Zi District, you are one step away from Tian Zi.
After this step, they walked for more than a month and finally reached the checkpoint.
It is easy to exit the customs in Xuanzi District, but to reach Tianzi District, you have to cross a large river more than three kilometers wide.
It was late winter, and we could barely pass people on the ice, and snowmobiles and the like were no problem.
But Qu Jianlei's heavy truck could never drive through, so they could only board a ferry with ice-breaking capabilities.
Three people and a car paid 120 silver dollars to cross this river of more than three kilometers.
After getting off the ferry, Qu Jianlei's mouth twitched, "Why...do you feel like you were robbed?"
"That's not the case," Bentley shook his head. "Next, let me give you a taste of what robbery is."
They are about to enter Tianzi District, which has a separate entry level.
Bentley has a certificate as a resident of Tianzi District, and his identity is not bad. He just needs to pay the customs clearance fee of 50 silver dollars.
Vehicles and supplies were charged a customs clearance fee of 200 when passing customs.
Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezi did not have documents, but they obtained temporary documents because they were guaranteed by Bentley.
The temporary certificate cost fifty. It is valid for one year and needs to be renewed when it expires. The deposit for each certificate is...five hundred silver dollars!
Qu Jianlei felt like his head was going to explode, "It really made me, who was not rich, even worse."
They didn't encounter serious enemies in the Yellow and Xuanzi areas, so they were relatively safe, but they kept spending money.
No one can bear the feeling of sitting still and having nothing to offer.
"Don't be dissatisfied," Bentley said leisurely while driving. "Without my guarantee, you can't get in with money."
Hua Scorpion also felt pain in her heart. She said seriously, "You can consider smuggling across the border."
"Forget it," Qu Jianlei took a deep breath, "If money can solve a problem, it's not a problem...why take the risk."
Bentley glanced at him and said calmly, "You have a good mentality, unlike young people who have experienced poverty."
In fact, I used to be very rich... Qu Jianlei couldn't help but groan.
"Forget it, I still have some gold, which can be worth some money if I sell it."
He only brought eight kilograms of gold with him and left the rest in secret camps in various places. He originally thought it would be enough.
I never thought that this Tianzi District was really extraordinary. After entering the customs, two thousand silver dollars were gone.
"The cost of living in Tianzi District is not that high," Bentley replied nonchalantly, "it's just that it's a little more expensive to enter."
"Of course, if you still want to practice... then you have to work hard to make money."
Qu Jianlei couldn't help but look at him, "Old man, when it's really inconvenient, I have to borrow money from you."
"Do you want to borrow it or not...is this interesting?" Bentley replied nonchalantly.
However, the next moment, he couldn't help but emphasize, "Being with me has already saved a lot of money."
"I know," Qu Jianlei nodded, "I haven't been idle either. I've been thinking about helping you deduce the cultivation method."
Bentley took a deep breath and said, "I can't bear it anymore. Let's go to Houjing quickly."
Before he had this idea, forget it, he had already thought about eating and waiting to die.
But since he had such thoughts, he spent more than half a year living like a year.
Fortunately, he is old and has considerable self-control, and those places...are indeed not suitable for cultivation.
Once he set foot on the land of Tianzi District, he could no longer hold back his thoughts. He wished he could fly there right away.
There are a total of fourteen settlements in Tianzi District.
Among them, in addition to No. 1 to No. 9, there are four others named after Beijing, namely Qian Jing, Hou Jing, Zuo Jing, and You Jing.
The only remaining one is called "Taidu" and is the real first settlement in Tianzi District.
However, Qianjing and Houjing are not far behind Taidu, and Houjing's strength is closer to Taidu.
Simply put, Houjing is the second largest settlement in Tianzi District.
As the boss of the settlement, Taidu has more high-end resources.
However, even Bentley believes that it is more dangerous there. He has a false identity, but a wanted criminal is a wanted criminal.
Therefore, everyone agreed that Houjing was a good choice. As long as you were willing to spend money, you could still get the training resources.
Qu Jianlei couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "How about we go to Taidu?"
"I can still maintain this sense of propriety," Bentley replied disapprovingly.
Then he couldn't help but ask, "How was your deduction?"
Along the way, he and Hua Xiezi were busy, and Qu Jianlei was either reading or practicing, without any delay.
However, Bentley saw with his own eyes that Qu Jianlei's long-term practice had completely consumed a B-level crystal.
In this case, he couldn't help but not believe it.
"It's still a little imperfect," Qu Jianlei rubbed his brows and replied distressedly.
"But to be honest, you must get feedback through practice, and finally you can find a method that suits you."
Bentley could understand this, but he couldn't help but ask, "How long will it take?"
"How dare I guarantee this for you?" Qu Jianlei replied helplessly, "I can only promise...as soon as possible!"
"You don't have to rush me. The key is that you still have to get the resources for cultivation. That's what you should worry about."
Bentley frowned slightly... There was nothing he could do, he couldn't calm down.
The next moment, a series of noises rang out, and a muffled sound came from outside the heavy truck.
Chapter 112 Human life is not valuable, but the yard is valuable (fourth update)
The weather has not warmed up yet, so we came to Tianzi District again, and the three of us were currently sitting in the car.
Hua Xiezi, who was on guard, exclaimed, "Someone is shooting at us with a machine gun!"
A cold light flashed in Bentley's eyes, "Go fire and destroy the opponent directly!"
Hua Xiezi dodged and was about to run back, but Qu Jianlei was a step faster and rushed directly to the car body.
"I'll fire the cannon. I'll suppress the opponent first, and then you can shoot with the machine gun."
The next moment, he exclaimed, "Let me go, do you want to be so cruel? What comes is an armored vehicle?"
The attack came from the side, and Qu Jianlei spotted an armored vehicle, two trucks, and an off-road vehicle at a glance.
The one who fired was not an armored vehicle, but a truck. The machine gun on the armored vehicle was following the movement of the heavy truck.
Obviously, the machine gun's aim was slow, and the opponent was unwilling to waste ammunition, so they fired with the vehicle-mounted machine gun first.
In the past six months, Qu Jianlei has reached the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining and may advance to the seventh level at any time.
However, he has other plans, so he has been improving his physical fitness recently.
He chose the armor-piercing projectile, fired the cannon, and took aim at the armored vehicle in two seconds.
During this period, two other Gauss machine guns also fired, making the heavy truck's armor jingle.
"I'm so stupid," someone couldn't help but curse, "Is this such a perverted armor on a heavy truck that you can't bear it?"
The next moment, the heavy truck's cannon roared and fired three times.
Only one of the three shells missed, and the two armor-piercing shells directly set the armored vehicle on fire.
"It's actually thickened armor?" Qu Jianlei was also a little surprised, and then quickly switched to high-explosive bombs.
The other three cars were dumbfounded when they saw this, "What the hell... is it so accurate?"
The three cars tried to escape, but it was too late. Qu Jianlei's hands were extremely fast and he shot three times in a row, directly blowing up the three cars.
Then he pointed at the burning armored vehicle, "Do you want to seize it?"
A figure with a burning body jumped out of the car.
"No!" Bentley said very simply, "I will stop suddenly, blow up the armored vehicle and leave."
Then he braked suddenly, Qu Jianlei shook his hand and blasted the armored vehicle with a shot, and the heavy truck sped away.
When he returned to the cab, Hua Xiezi asked aloud, "Is the order in Tianzi District so bad?"
"I have never said that order in Tianzi District is good," Bentley said very simply, and I will not take the blame.
He plausibly asked, "Everyone with some strength is here, how can you think that order is good?"
Hua Xiezi was at a loss for words. He thought for a moment before asking again, "The order in the settlement is good, but it's worse outside?"
"This is basically correct," Bentley nodded, "but within the settlement... there are many powerful forces."
Of course there is nothing wrong with what he said, but Qu Jianlei narrowed his eyes and spoke in a sinister tone.
"You were eliminated by Central City after all, right?"
After experiencing the endless pursuit of the Sai family, he is now extremely sensitive to the word "big power".
Bentley was startled for a moment, then nodded slightly, "That's true, but some of them are sent by Central City."
Hua Xingzi felt that the boss might lose control again, so he immediately asked, "Is this an ordinary robber?"
"However, we can't rule out the possibility of them colluding with the people at the checkpoint. After all, we bring more things."
"What the hell..." Hua Xiezi originally wanted to divert attention, but when she heard this, even she couldn't help but curse.
"If a poor man is ambushed, he won't even be able to pay for ammunition."
"Are you angry about this?" Bentley was a little helpless, "You can earn more than the ammunition cost, so they mainly focus on heavy trucks."
"Human life is not valuable," Qu Jianlei said calmly, "The first half of my crystal was obtained from someone who wanted to take advantage of me."
Seeing that he had returned to normal, Hua Xiezi felt relieved, "The people at Guankou really dare to be so proficient in banditry?"
"Why not?" Bentley replied casually, with a very cold tone.
"If you are more cautious, then you can only sell information to make money... There are people who do it themselves. I have encountered it."
Qu Jianlei looked at him speechlessly, "Is this the case in Central City too?"
"Of course not," Bentley said in a proud tone, "It's the most orderly place there, just like before the end of the world."
Hua Xiezi accidentally said something to him, "Then you have also been replaced, and you actually have the intention to say good things about them?"
"This... is different," Bentley couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. You really don't want to open any pot!
He paused and replied slowly, "No matter which society you are in, robbery and robbery are objective realities."
"The reason why I was replaced has nothing to do with order, but with privilege...In the final analysis, what I got was too precious."
Hua Scorpion noticed that he was in a low mood and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it."
"It doesn't matter," Bentley uttered three words, then stopped talking, and the car fell into silence.
The area of Tianzi settlement is not small, but they chose the entry point well, and it only took fifteen days to drive to Houjing.
But this is mainly related to roads. There are roads in many places in Tianzi District.
Although most of the roads are dirt roads, and even gravel roads are rare, there is definitely a difference between having roads and not having roads.
That afternoon, when I saw Houjing City from a distance, Hua Xiezi exclaimed, "This settlement in Houjing...has no walls?"
"There is no wall in Central City," Bentley replied casually, "One capital and four capitals are just learning from Central City."
His tone was calm, but he still couldn't help but glance at Qu Jianlei. Does this surprise you?
Qu Jianlei was really surprised. Blue Star now has walled cities... those are all scenic spots!
Isn't it rare? Bentley sighed inwardly: This guy's origins are really extraordinary.
Although there is no city wall in Houjing, there are gates. The two gates separate the outside of the city, the suburbs and the city.
Bentley suggested settling on the outskirts of the city, because the quality outside the city is too low.
If you want to live in the city, many of the weapons on the heavy trucks exceed the standard and there is too much ammunition.
This kind of matter involving the order of the settlement is very sensitive. Even if you are willing to spend money to deal with it, it is not easy to find a reliable way.
When Qu Jianlei heard about "spending money", he immediately shook his head. Now he gets a headache when he thinks of silver dollars.
Hua Scorpion also said simply, "We believe in you."
Houses in the suburbs are not cheap. The monthly rent for a decent residential house with a yard is as high as thirty silver dollars.
Bentley said this is normal, "This kind of house is usually shared, so it's not expensive to share it..."
"If it were in the city, this kind of house would cost at least one hundred and fifty, and the most expensive one could cost four to five hundred!"
"Is this because the cost of living is not high?" Qu Jianlei couldn't help complaining, "It's enough to buy a house in the wealthy district of Zhouliu!"
"This is the back capital of Tianzi District!" Bentley was a little helpless, "How can it be cheaper for you to rent an entire courtyard in the city?"
But then again, renting the whole yard is a necessity for them, and it is impossible for them to share it with others.
Bentley finally chose a relatively luxurious house, and the price was also very impressive. The monthly rent was RMB 60!
But he has his own reasons, "It's relatively hidden here, it's very private, and it's convenient for practicing."
"And since we have to buy something next, there is a certain possibility that we will be targeted by others."
"When they find out that we can afford to rent this kind of house, even if they want to do something, they have to think about it."
"Yeah," Qu Jianlei weakly agreed. The key is that what the old man said does make sense.
"But then, you will have to worry about making money."
He was not worried at all that the old man would not make money, otherwise how could he have accumulated such a large family fortune?
Before, there was no hope of revenge, and he was getting older, so he chose Mao to spend the rest of his life in Zhouliu.
"I'm old, of course you are responsible for making money," Bentley replied lightly.
"It's inappropriate for you to say that," Qu Jianlei said sternly, "I have many things to do...don't you two want to get the cultivation method?"
"I can make money," Hua Scorpion immediately offered.
However, although she had this awareness, she had to face a problem, "But I don't have a way to make a lot of money."
An elite hunter like her is actually not very short of money. She can just take on a few missions in her free time.
But the expenses here in Houjing were so high that it made her scalp numb.
At the rate at which she was making money in Hongzi District, she might not be able to afford the rent of the small courtyard after a month of hard work.
Qu Jianlei glanced at the old man speechlessly, "It's not difficult to introduce some ways to make money, right?"
The two of them were new to Tianzi District, so having an experienced driver guide them would help them avoid detours.
"Yellow Scorpion is also responsible for early warning and security, so how can he go out to work?" Bentley answered casually.
Qu Jianlei glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.
Bentley, on the other hand, was heartbroken by this sight and took the initiative.
"Okay, I'm here to look for ways to make money. If it doesn't work, I'll take care of it first."
There was no conversation that night, and early the next morning, Bentley went out after breakfast.
Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezi fought in a standing position and practiced for more than two hours before stopping.
The weather began to get warmer, and the two of them worked up a sweat. Fortunately, there was no shortage of bathroom facilities in the rented house.
If you don’t even have this equipment, how can you dare to rent it at such a high price?
After a brief rinse, Hua Xiezi came to Qu Jianlei and asked, "Can you start trying to practice?"
Qu Jianlei looked at her helplessly, "There are basically no resources, and the old man will never allow you to practice first."
Hua Xiezi was a little eager to try, "His technique is an improvement, but my practice is brand new..."
"If I think well, isn't renovation more difficult than completely new planning?"
"How dare you think about it," Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes at her, "Designing a cultivation method for you is like crossing the river by feeling for the stones. You must have a reference."
