Due to the heavy losses suffered this time, the convoy needs sufficient time to make repairs and adjustments. Fortunately, the time for this mission is very sufficient, and there is no problem in staying here for one more day. The guard captain has not yet understood the above "what"
What exactly was the "predictive" arrangement, but he already understood that this mission was anything but ordinary. He could no longer afford to withhold funds, and he had to be fully prepared to face the next challenges.
The bounty hunters also realized that there was a problem with this mission and were worried about the subsequent itinerary. For them, the risk of the escort mission was actually small, and another convenience was that they could follow the convoy to another city, which was also
Relatively speaking the safest mode of transportation.
However, as soon as this mission started, they encountered unprecedented emergencies twice in succession, and each time was very dangerous. This has exceeded their bottom line. Although the reward for the escort mission is okay, it is not worth taking your life. There are
Several hunters with better economic conditions chose to terminate their contracts and left the team after paying double the commission as a fine. Others who did not have enough money could only work hard to purchase equipment and supplies in an effort to survive possible attacks in the future.
"Young man, listen to my advice. There is a problem with this mission. It is better to escape as soon as possible. If you want to go to Green Forest City, you can find the next caravan going there. Even if they are not short of people, just pay some money.
If you can join the team, I think you don’t need that little money, right?”
The tough guy in the trench coat who had a friendship with Xiao Wu before also terminated his contract. Before leaving, he did not forget to persuade Xiao Wu and the others to leave too. He was considered a kind and righteous person.
"Don't worry, what we need is risk and excitement, not a lack of money."
When communicating with outsiders, Xiao Wu turns into the "emotionless killer" mode.
"The danger that follows is absolutely extraordinary. Are you sure you can handle it? I, an old man, can't handle it."
"It doesn't matter, we are just looking for danger."
"Since you are so determined, I won't bother you anymore. I hope your souls will return to your hometown."
"..."
The tough guy in the trench coat raised his hat and said goodbye to Xiao Wu. He did not curse Xiao Wu and the others to die. This was a farewell word among bounty hunters. Hunters risk their lives all day long, and one day they will die violently. If they can live their lives normally,
There are very few. Since they all die, the best destination is for the soul to return to its hometown after death. This is the most sincere blessing for hunters who have no fixed place.
Xiao Wu watched the withdrawing hunters leave, acting cold and ruthless throughout. She actually wanted to chat with them for a few more words, but was unable to do so due to her character.
"So, people should not set too many restrictions on themselves. This is what we mean by being trapped in a cocoon."
"Ah? What did you say?"
"It's nothing, I just regret pretending to be an emotionless killer. I should have changed my character into a passionate and bold killer."
"Why do you say this suddenly?"
"Because I want to chat with people now but I can't. I finally understand how painful Sister Amy's life has been. It turns out that it is so uncomfortable for people who are not aloof to remain aloof."
"what are you talking about……"
"I said to myself, don't worry about it. Let's go and take a look around the motorcade."
"oh……"
Raeder didn't raise any objections and followed Xiao Wu honestly, looking like a bodyguard. What Xiao Wu said before touched her a little, and she wanted to know what it was like to play with friends. But she
Since he didn't understand the outside world and couldn't take the initiative to suggest what to do, he could only follow Xiao Wu's lead.
After a day and night of emergency repairs, the transport convoy has recovered its health and is ready to go on the road at any time. The weapon stations and sighting equipment of all transport vehicles have been repaired, and temporary enhanced modifications have also been carried out. The original weapon stations are directly equipped with weapons.
An "economical" product that is exposed without protection is a bargain. That model is sufficient for long-distance expulsion operations, but in close-range melee it is a target for one shot. Although there are no more advanced ones at rest stops
model, but solved the problem of lack of defense with a simple method, that is, welding a steel plate to a shell and putting it on the weapon station to serve as a turret. The motors of this era are very powerful, and even if the shell is put on, it can still rotate, just a little.
Slow down, but this way you won't be easily blown away by the enemy.
In order to deal with the life-threatening impact of large-scale scavengers, the transport vehicle is also equipped with a flamethrower. The modification of this weapon is also very simple. Just buy a flamethrower for industrial waste burning and install it in the shooting port. It is very cheap.
If you encounter a lunatic who dares to charge you later, use the flames to express your rejection.
Additional weapons require additional crew members to operate, but this is a cyberpunk world, and most of them can be handled with cheap machinery. A simple industrial robotic arm plus the vehicle’s own panoramic camera is connected to the vehicle’s own
The defense system of the bicycle can be slightly modified. The guard captain is determined that he will never let this group of wastes manually operate the weapons in the future. Even without the network coordination of the entire fleet, the defense system of the bicycle is better than those guys who are just messing around.
The accuracy is better.
The captain was really scared. Not only did he ask the technicians to modify the transport vehicle, but even the armored vehicle the escort was riding in was modified, adding some additional armor and spear spikes. This was completely scavenging.
The vehicles purchased for the hunters were all equipped with on-board weapons, and even two mortars were purchased. This ancient weapon rarely appears on the battlefield now, and I don’t know why this rest stop is there.
have.
"Yeah! This is punk enough! It smells like a wasteland! I like it!"
Xiao Wu stood on the roof of the building, looking at the fleet of vehicles ready to go with an arrogant look, but she was extremely happy in her heart. She just wanted to see such arrogant modified vehicles, only in this way could they be worthy of the smell of the wilderness.
.
"But it's so ugly now. The original design has been destroyed, and there's no beauty at all. It's just like garbage piled on the car."
Raedel, who has a classical aesthetic sense, obviously doesn't know about the wasteland style, so naturally she can't appreciate it.
"Hey, you don't understand. A wild environment must be paired with a wild person. Someone with tender skin and tender flesh like us is completely inappropriate!"
"I am not a tender-skinned person now..."
"Isn't it bad? You look like this and everyone is scared!"
"Oh~ I hope I can scare the real enemy~ I really can't fight~"
"If you don't know how to learn, just kill a few more bad guys and you'll learn it!"
"You should try your best to protect me..."
"It's hard to say. The next situation may be more complicated. When I don't have time to take care of it, you have to rely on yourself."
"well……"
"Try to relax a little. There is something wrong with your mentality. If you can't avoid things, face them bravely. Otherwise, what else can you do? Should you close your eyes and wait for danger to avoid you?"
"I know, I will try hard..."
"It is a must! Remember, now that you have left the greenhouse, no one can guarantee your safety. You have to rely on yourself!"
"I know! Stop yelling, it makes me seem useless!"
"Aren't you useless?"
"How am I useless! I am proficient in the local languages of 48 cities, can play thirty-six musical instruments and synthesizers, and can also perform traditional paintings and sculptures. I am also very good at making handicrafts and identifying cultural relics! How am I useless?
It’s over!”
"So how are you going to use these skills to fight off the scavengers?"
"I……"
"So you are useless here~"
"Woo..."
"Okay, don't be too sad. Didn't I say that skills can be learned? You are not stupid. The key is whether you are willing to learn. If you want to save your life, you can only learn to take human lives.
~"
"Isn't there a way that doesn't involve killing people..."
"Of course~"
"what is it!"
"Everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. Then there will be no scavengers, and naturally there will be no life-and-death struggle. Can you create such a world?"
"this……"
"You can't create it. This world requires life and death to continue. Raedel, you don't really think that the superior life you had before was created out of thin air, do you? Have you ever thought about the impact of every kilowatt-hour of electricity you consume?
Are they all obtained by the people in the Dark Night Zone sacrificing their happiness?"
"Why do you say that? Is there a problem with people working to create value? If they weren't capable enough and their contribution wasn't great enough, how could it be..."
"You are still saying this. Do you think your contribution to this world is worthy of everything you enjoy?"
"I...although I am just a flower vase, I am still very useful in social situations. It will definitely help my father's business...I also paid, and that is all in return..."
"Didn't you see the guard member who was blown to pieces?"
"Why are you saying this suddenly! Don't mention that terrible thing!"
"He gave his life, and all he got was a pitiful amount of work-related injury insurance money for his family. That money is not even enough for you to customize a set of beautiful clothes. Am I right?"
"..."
"Do you think you have given more than he did? And therefore deserve more?"
"...I don't want to talk about this topic anymore. Let's find a place to rest. We should set off later."
