The high-frequency roar of the electric motor gradually weakened, and the convoy also decelerated collectively under the control of the automatic driving system, and finally stopped on a small plain. The experienced bounty hunters switched to manual driving mode and left the convoy to investigate the nearby situation, while the escort
The team directed the transport vehicles to form a circle to form a simple defensive formation.
"Attention everyone, we will be resting here for 300 minutes. Please take the time to replenish energy and adjust your status. Hunters, please check your weapons and equipment again. We are about to enter an accident-prone area ahead."
The guard captain issued a notice on the public communication channel, and the caravan members immediately began to check the status of the vehicles and other preparation work. The hunters who had gone out to explore the road also returned to the defensive circle, using this time to recharge, replenish fluids, and relax
Mood adjustment state.
This open space is a fixed temporary camp for the caravan. The terrain and location have been carefully selected before. The field of vision is wide and sufficient. Even if there is danger, it can be detected and eliminated from a distance. Although there are no service facilities here, the ground is the same as before.
It has been simply hardened and the traces of construction are obvious.
Every three transport vehicles form a transport unit and will be equipped with seven members, two of whom are rescue workers equipped with heavy-duty aircraft, two are maintenance technicians, and the last three are weapons operators. Although this odd number of equipment seems a bit
It's strange, but for businessmen who can save money, reducing the number of members as much as possible is a sentiment. If it weren't for the various accidents encountered during transportation, they actually don't want to have so many people at all.
The transport vehicle is huge, so members can carry out daily life in the vehicle. However, due to economic considerations, the living space of the members is not large and can only accommodate one heavy-duty machine and two ordinary machines to rest in a sitting position. This also creates a
A unique caravan custom is that before departure, members of each transport unit must play a game. It doesn't matter what the game is, the key is to determine the winner. The two who lose first will be arranged to compete with a car.
The heavy body is squeezed into a car, and the last two people can enjoy the living space of a car to themselves. For these people whose real life is extremely boring, winning this simple game can put them in a good mood during the journey.
Consciousness uploading technology is the core technology of the Raeder family, so 99.99% of people in the world still need to install their brains in their bodies, and the poorer ones retain more biological organs. Since there are biological parts, then cybernetics
Humans need rest just like natural people, so the convoy would stop and camp in such a place. But Xiao Wu and the others theoretically don't need to rest, and they have been in the fishing and teasing mode before, so they are particularly energetic now.
"Let's go and recharge. Although we haven't moved much, keeping it fully charged is an attitude! And the power consumption of your armor is quite high. A little more power can avoid a lot of trouble."
"Oh...what about him?"
Raeder looked at the gay friend's head on Xiao Wu's waist, and she was still thinking about the dead head.
"He... doesn't need to be charged. His standby power consumption is very low, right?"
Xiao Wu gently patted the metal head that held the gay friend's head.
"Yes~~~"
A small, nonsensical voice floated out, as if the person inside was about to expire. My friend's current state is indeed not very good. He slept for a long time to relieve his boredom. After setting off on the road, he looked at the scenery for a while and felt bored and fell asleep again. Now
It feels like the groggy state you get when you sleep too much at home during the holidays, and your thinking is extremely slow.
"He...doesn't he need to supplement the nutrient solution?"
Raeder was a little worried.
"Do you think normal people can live for so long with their brains in the state? To tell you the truth, we don't even have brains in our bodies."
Xiao Wu told the truth.
"Yes~ Although our family has a monopoly on this technology on this continent, it may not be the case on another continent~"
Raeder nodded. She had been superior for a long time and suddenly felt a sense of loss, just like a child who always got perfect marks in exams suddenly met another classmate with perfect marks.
"It's good that you realize this, but it's of no use. You're just a vase at home anyway."
"Don't laugh at me like this!"
"What's wrong, I'm just stating the facts!"
"well……"
"Are you unhappy?"
"You say...are these people living a much happier life than me? They can travel freely between cities, but I can only stay in the paradise area, go to places I don't want to go, and meet people I don't want to see.
Just like the animals in the legendary zoo."
Raeder looked at the bounty hunters who were resting alone or in groups. Her envious eyes were blocked by the thick armor and would not be seen by ordinary people.
"You yearn for freedom?"
Xiao Wu flipped up her single ponytail.
"That's right~ Why else would I have thought so hard about running out?"
"If you don't even have the money to recharge, you won't think about running out."
Xiao Wu pulled out two charging cables from the external panel of the transport vehicle and connected them to his and Raeder's armors respectively. The wiring position of Xiao Wu's body was normal, it was the universal interface on the back of the neck, which was not a strange place.
.Bounty hunters charge for free, which is one of the few additional benefits that the caravan provides to these hard-working people.
"Yes, my father hasn't frozen my account yet, so I don't have to worry about surviving."
"Your father is here to find you. As long as you dare to spend money, your position will be exposed instantly."
"Sigh...it's better to make money by yourself ~ you won't be restricted by anyone."
"Yeah, making money by yourself is not only restricted by people, but also by all kinds of messy things. You think they are free and unrestrained, but you don't know how much they have to pay for it. They have nothing but freedom. And you,
The only price is no freedom, and you can have whatever else you want."
"Isn't it nice to have freedom? Anyway, I think they are living a good life, much better than me!"
"Oh, the journey has just begun. I will ask you the same question again in two days."
"Isn't it just boring on the road? But I can go to various cities casually~ With this advantage, I can endure the journey."
"I won't talk to you about this topic until dawn."
Xiao Wu completed her "symbolic" charge, and jumped onto the top of the transport truck as lightly as a cat, looking at the slightly white horizon in the distance. The team's rest schedule in the early morning was very strange, but it happened to catch up.
Method. The caravan must abide by the established timetable, and the travel time even includes the time wasted by ordinary attacks. As long as there are no "special circumstances", the caravan cannot be delayed. Otherwise, transportation fees will be deducted.
"Let me see it too, I haven't seen the sunrise in the wild yet!"
Raeder, who lived in the Paradise District, had certainly seen the sunrise, but she had only seen the sun rising from under the clouds.
"Want to see it? Please beg me~~~"
Xiao Wu looked down and smiled.
"Please, Sister Wu, let me see the sunrise!"
Raeder said without hesitation in the private channel with a pitiful tone.
"No, no, no, no, you are 38 years old, don't call me sister, I am still young! Forget it, since you are so obedient, I can only give you some benefits."
Xiao Wu jumped back to the ground, lifted the huge Raeder up easily, and then jumped onto the roof of the car with a slight jump. The heels of her boots made a "crisp" click sound on the metal plate, as if it were on her hands.
The armor has no quality at all.
"I've always wanted to ask, does your body have any anti-gravity black technology?"
Raeder had noticed this detail before, which puzzled her.
"There is no anti-gravity. It is a virtual force and cannot be countered. This is... an anti-gravity system. It can detect the gravity of the current position in real time and then generate a reverse force to offset it, so we can
Light as a swallow!"
"So advanced...Has your continent developed to this point?"
"This is... lost ancient technology!"
"Ah? Is that so?"
"Oh, don't worry about it. Why don't you want to watch the sunrise?"
"Oh yes!"
Raeder looked towards the horizon, and happened to see the dazzling orange-red ball of light jumping out of the horizon, illuminating the distant sky with a brilliant golden light.
"It's so beautiful~~~ It turns out that watching the sunrise on the ground is also so beautiful..."
Raeder sighed softly.
"But the vast majority of people in the world will not be able to see this scene, and they will not be able to see it for generations to come."
