Tang Lang was right. Within an hour after they left, the Neal Air Pirates' gang found this canyon and found traces of the large box truck that had stopped here.
Although the wind and sand have become much smaller, the wind and sand still cover up the ruts of light vehicles such as all-terrain vehicles, so Nirio and others did not find much strangeness, and just followed the extremely blurred ruts of the large truck. .
If Niall knew that there was a spare armory that stored more than 40 new military mechas not far from them, he would spit out a mouthful of old blood if they were not kept together. With these more than 40 mechas, He will immediately become the most powerful group of air pirates on Lafite Planet. He dares to turn around and come back first to wipe out the 40 Romande mechas that are chasing him closely.
As for Shen Chengfeng's small unit of no more than 10 mechas, he didn't pay attention at all. Shen Chengfeng's unit was very good at guerrilla warfare. If they really wanted to go head-to-head, there was still a big difference in strength.
But no matter what, the sandstorm that had subsided could no longer cover up the ruts of the heavy trucks. In the end, the three groups of air pirates were like sharks that smelled blood, chasing Tang Lang and the others in the direction they left.
At this time, Tang Lang and others had arrived at the black market town.
At this time, the town was blocking the way in front of them in a vibrant way.
Standing on the roof of the large box truck, Tang Lang and Changsun Xueqing looked from a distance. There were many people in the town, as if there was some kind of gathering going on, standing together in a noisy way, but it was not unusually popular.
Tang Lang could see with his naked eye that machine guns were mounted on some commanding heights in the town, and fortifications were also erected on some roads in the town.
Tang Lang's eyes narrowed. This so-called "black market town" easily reminded him of those no-nonsense areas on Blue Star, a place outside the law.
That also means that the ugliness of human nature will be magnified without limit in this kind of place.
"Boss Tang, otherwise, we won't go." A middle-aged man wearing a cheap suit on an all-terrain vehicle looked into the distance and said timidly. "I feel like we can hold on a little longer."
Ever since they watched Tang Lang nimbly get into the carriage of a large box truck while driving a military-standard mecha, most of the fleeing Federation citizens had sincerely called Tang Lang Boss Tang.
This is not only related to the value of force, but more importantly, it is respect for Tang Lang's status in the Southwest Federation.
Wherever there are people, there will be rivers and lakes and classes, regardless of the kind of country's governance situation. Mecha divisions selected from a thousand miles enjoy a very high status in all countries.
This is because humans have been working hard to move deeper into the universe, and starships and mechas are the most reliable weapons for humans to conquer one galaxy after another. Mecha divisions, which are far rarer in number than starship crews, are naturally the mainstay of major companies. It is obvious that technicians are flocking to them, with high salary and high status.
This is like a doctoral student at Huaqing University on the ancient blue planet. Just hearing that name is enough to make ordinary people awe. As long as he does not commit suicide and become a monster, the probability of his life becoming a meteoric rise is ten times higher than that of ordinary people. several times.
Moreover, mecha divisions also serve as reserves for the armies of various countries in the starry sky. They have a special recall mechanism. In the event of war, they will be awarded corresponding military ranks based on their mecha driving skills. Even the most junior one can be a sergeant.
With a sudden change of identity, a citizen can become an official. Such a profession is naturally something that ordinary people look up to. Especially when he saw Tang Lang hunkering down and "stuffing" the huge mecha into the truck compartment in an extremely weird way. At least he had the ability to do so.
The definition of mid-level mecha master's control ability has been fixed in the hearts of ordinary people in the Federation.
Tang Lang raised his eyes and scanned the faces of the people on the all-terrain vehicle. The lack of food and water for more than 24 hours had caused many people to feel depressed. And he had no idea how long he would have to walk in this desert and steel ruins.
.Although these people met him by chance, if they were allowed to die in front of him like this...
What's more, due to the lack of clean water, Tang Lang's own lungs felt like fire. If he really encountered the air pirates, his combat effectiveness would be reduced by more than half.
Determination flashed in his eyes and he waved his hand: "We have to go, otherwise we won't be able to hold on for long. In this way, there won't be too many people going. I will drive the truck, Lao Zhang, Lao Li, and that one, yes,
Xiao Wang, the three of you drive an all-terrain vehicle, and the four of us will go. The rest of us and Miss Sun will go around to the left side of the town. You guys will wait for us there. If things change, whether inside or outside the town, you don’t have to wait for us.
, everyone follows Miss Sun’s command.”
Tang Lang's arrangement naturally has its own reasons. Lao Zhang is the middle-aged man who just spoke. He was an honest worker. Because his daughter was seriously ill and needed money, he had to take a risk and go to the third star field to find support.
He used private goods to earn some money for his daughter's medical treatment. He is an extremely honest and reliable person.
As for Lao Li, he was a social man who had been wandering on the fringes of federal law for a long time and made wealth by smuggling some scarce items. He was a shrewd man, and he was also the one who deliberately got close to Tang Lang from the beginning. With such a person, it is natural for him to be in contact with the black market.
Dealing with the gang of black marketeers in the small town.
As for Xiao Wang, he was the man in a suit who started to challenge Tang Lang. Although he tried his best to hide it, Tang Lang could feel his dissatisfaction with Tang Lang through his long-term intuition on the battlefield.
The reason why he was called together was because Tang Lang didn't want the people left behind to have unstable factors. It was safer to keep such a time bomb with him. Tang Lang had never been in the habit of leaving potential dangers to his comrades.
"I want to go too!" Changsun Xueqing, who had not spoken until now, suddenly said.
"No!" Tang Lang jumped out of the car and shook his head in refusal.
This woman has always been smart, but why is she so stupid now? Taking a woman to some lawless place is not an obvious way to stimulate those energetic bandits to commit crimes? As a man, Tang Lang knows very well that he can make things happen anytime and anywhere.
The male creatures in Lang, even though Chang Sun Xueqing looks ordinary, are still much stronger than men covered with ferocious fur!
"Believe me, the help I can give you is far greater than the possible dangers. More importantly, I need communication tools. Maybe there will be one in that small town. If I can directly communicate with the Lafite Star Military Base
Communications and the threat of air piracy are no longer a problem." Changsun Xueqing's reasons were hard to refuse.
Tang Lang thought for a moment and was finally convinced by this woman.
She was right. Entering the black market town itself was already an adventure. Changsun Xueqing's participation only increased the possibility of risk again. However, once she was able to contact the military base, the biggest
The crisis might be solved, and that's the most important thing.
Five all-terrain vehicles used the cover of sand dunes and ruins to quietly drive to the other side of the town. Tang Lang and Zhang Sun Xueqing were still driving the large truck at the front. The three people in the all-terrain vehicles followed with tense faces.
at the end.
Most of the assault rifles were taken away by the people, including one for each of Tang Lang's five people and a Vulcan machine gun mounted on the all-terrain vehicle.
To be honest, compared to the various firearms that can be seen in the black market town, these guns are nothing more than decorations.
When we got closer, the road into the town had been blocked. There were some people standing in sleeveless leather jackets with cigarettes hanging from their mouths. Some even had bullet chains and strange-style grenades hanging on their bodies and were holding firearms.
Facing the truck heading towards the town, a man wearing a leather jacket, a punk haircut, and a cigar chewed on his arms. He looked like a bad guy with tattoos on both arms. He stretched out his hand towards the large truck heading towards the roadblock.
