Chapter 9: Border City, Air Thieves
In order to ensure the success of this operation, Boss Jin made bloody preparations.
He didn't bet all his hopes on Zhang Qingyang, the reason why he was invited to come was that in line with the old Jianghu's habitual style, he took the opportunity to enhance his relationship and forcibly added a bond of interest to both parties. The second is to use Zhang Qingyang's reputation to ensure a way out.
A businessman who engages in side-kick trading is easily abandoned at critical moments.
But Zhang Qingyang, a rising star in the five academies, has been registered in major academies and major powerful institutions, and if he wants to encounter some mortal danger, there must be many people who are willing to take a hand.
And his golden fat man, as the closest person, can escape by grabbing his trouser leg by the way.
This little abacus is fine.
In addition to inviting Zhang Qingyang, Boss Jin also spent a lot of money to hire an armed security force, all of which are composed of veteran elite soldiers, who bring their own mecha or pet beasts, and have experience in going in and out of the sand sea many times to perform dangerous tasks, with an outstanding reputation and brilliant achievements.
In terms of travel, he specially chartered a transport mecha, which is also a product eliminated by the army, with durable leather and high cost performance.
Zhang Qingyang took Ah Tu to board the mecha with him on this day, made a rough observation, and roughly estimated the comprehensive combat power of the entire team, secretly staggering, this seemingly greedy sandworm hall owner can be open-minded, absolutely unambiguous when it should be spent, and it is reassuring to cooperate.
This armed security team called "Tribulus Terrestris", more than a dozen men and women, all of them behaved fiercely and steadily, and they did not make a fuss when they saw Zhang Qingyang's brothers, let alone deliberately say strange things to spy on information and stir up contradictions.
Jin Fatzi did not disclose Zhang Qingyang's identity, but only claimed that he was an invited sandworm expert.
Zhang Qingyang wanted this kind of natural and reasonable way of dealing with it, he let the Titan cat change to the true appearance of the cat, and added a layer of camouflage to himself with the skills of the cat, it looks like he is about eighteen years old, familiar people can probably recognize it, and strangers can't match the portrait and other information.
Ah Tu kept the pristine ecology, he was the first time he went out of the house, holding a shrunken earth dog in his arms, and everything was fresh.
After the mecha took off, it quickly jumped above the clouds, facing the incomparably brilliant sun, the earth passed under his feet, and the clouds and mist wrapped around the mountains like a belt, the scene was a powerful impact on the heart of a child who had been living underground.
"It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful!"
Ah Tu made a fuss and sighed again and again, but he lowered his tone very sensibly to avoid being noticed and embarrassed.
Zhang Qingyang didn't laugh at him, secretly paid attention to the reactions of others, and found that except for a few of the golden fat man's subordinates who didn't think so, the mercenaries were expressionless, listened to it, and turned a blind eye.
"Yes, this kind of quality is much more reassuring to work with. ”
It's not that he doesn't know humility, people's horizons grow with strength and experience, and he has seen so many powerful gods, demons and demons, and the evaluation standard in Zhang Qingyang's heart is actually very high.
The longevity level starts and can't be lower.
The pilot of the transport mecha is also a veteran, but he is a broken mouth, and there is a lot of gossip along the way, and the nonsense of the fat golden man sitting next to him, Zhang Qingyang and the others should listen to the radio, but they don't feel dull.
From Nanling City to the Donghe City area, the route spans a large area of human territory, and when they find that the clouds in the air have become thicker, and even the rain clouds have increased significantly, looking down from the porthole, they can see the white and bright rivers on the earth, which are bent like belts, and the hundred rivers and the sea generally become two wide rivers, wrapping a city and alluvial plain standing on the mountain.
Donghe City was built at the confluence of two rivers.
On one side is the territory of human beings, with undulating mountains and lush vegetation, and on the other side is the barren mountains and wild mountains and Gobi tidal flats, where the unique geomagnetic force of the sandworm faintly changes the celestial phenomena, and it looks like it is always gray and cloudy, with clear barriers.
Zhang Qingyang and the others did not land in Donghe City, but used it as a transit, crossed the river and continued to fly forward for more than 200 kilometers, landing at a tributary called "Shatuo River", which was the last supply point before heading to the target "Hongshan City".
Viewed from the air, this small border town simply called "Shatuo Town", with messy and rough buildings, should be built on the ruins of an ancient city that has been abandoned for a long time.
From the information, it can be seen that this place is not an outpost led by the military, but a natural three-way area formed by treasure hunters and adventurers who have stopped and gathered for a long time for more than 100 years.
Where the government is not reached, order is defined and maintained by the big fist forces, and it also has its own unique rules and customs, and it cannot be done according to the routine of the serious urban area.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Qingyang is willing to participate in the action, traveling thousands of miles, opening his eyes and insight, and someone spends money and takes the initiative to be a guide, which is no better.
When the transport mecha was fifty kilometers away from Shatuo Town, there was a signal call access, and the pilot glanced at it and shouted in a strange tone: "Guys, someone has taken the initiative to greet us, everyone is ready, the next flight may be a little bumpy." ”
After saying that, regardless of whether everyone did the same or not, he let out a strange scream and swooped down on the mecha.
At the same time, two combat mechs with a height of ten meters flew out of the clouds next to him, Zhang Qingyang quickly scanned the bridge of the heart, and found that they were all relatively old models, and even the military retired and handed over to the local guards could not compare, they were purely Taobao goods from the garbage heap.
Seeing the transport mecha suddenly change direction sharply, the two mechs accelerated left and right and chased after each other, and fired warning fire on both sides, trying to force them to stop.
The fat man scolded in the front cabin: "These damn thieves, it's not good to go to the desert to pan for gold, they always do this kind of black and black cheap business, they have no interest, shame!"
Although he is greedy, he thinks that he is a serious businessman, and he despises robbery as an unskilled behavior.
After cursing, he asked the pilot a little worriedly: "Old Qi, can you get rid of them?"
The pilot laughed weirdly: "Underestimate buddy, don't you? Just tell you this, Jin Ye, those so-called trump cards in the border guard flight team, our old Qi still threw them behind and ate farts back then." Just with these bandits, they are not qualified to come up!"
"Good, good!" the fat golden man smiled and nodded repeatedly.
After all, Lao Qi does have a set, and he just drove this old-fashioned transport mecha into the style of an agile super combat mecha, accelerating and diving all the way from the clouds to the mountains less than 300 meters.
The mecha that intended to intercept saw clearly behind him, and angrily scolded him for being a psychopath, and he would pull him down if he didn't rob him, did he need to work so hard?
After all, most of them are armed and intimidating, and they will not kill people under normal circumstances, after all, most of the people who run this line are adventurers, and there are basically interest groups behind them, and if they make a big trouble, they will be easily traced down, and the consequences will be very serious.
Seeing the transport mecha twisting into the mountains, the two guys knew that this trip was in vain, so they simply turned around and left, to see if there was a chance to block the other new unlucky guys.
