Chapter 11 I understand the truth
The journey to Anling City didn't have many twists and turns, except for the gunfire caused by the occasional monster near the tracks, most of the time Zhu Jue was a bystander listening to the gold diggers around him talk about the various things they encountered in the gold panning process.
For nearly 3 hours, along the way, Zhu Jue watched teams of people get off the bus in the cities they passed through and go to find the "treasure" of their dreams.
Among them, there is a professional squad, not only with a reasonable mix of personnel and fully armed, but also with a detailed plan, and the goal has been set on the fortress train as early as possible.
There are also "newcomers" who have just joined this gold rush wave, holding cheap weapons that they know at a glance were bought through some special underground channels and are seriously worn, and they only care about listening to the experience of those so-called "predecessors" who have become rich overnight, and their eyes are full of envy and longing.
As everyone knows, even if you get rich overnight, you have to have the ability to continue.
Of course, these things have nothing to do with Zhu Jue, he is not interested in reminding those people who are hungry for profit, just sitting quietly in the carriage listening to their discussion, and after hearing the mention of Anling City on the radio, he silently held the three-day moon knife and guarded the door.
There are not a few people who choose to get off in Anling City.
On the one hand, because of the proximity to Anqing Prefecture, there are quite a few cities in the surrounding area that belonged to the emergency evacuation area back then, and it is easy to find good things.
On the other hand, there are still a considerable number of people who go to other cities in Anqing Province.
Yecheng is too dangerous, and the high mortality rate is prohibitive for these gold diggers, but the danger of the surrounding area is between C and B, as long as you are well prepared and have some luck, then there is no doubt that the harvest of this trip will far exceed that of the other teams.
Sometimes that's the case, watching other people make a lot of money, there will always be people who want to imitate it.
Leave your personal safety behind and rush towards the imaginary treasure.
When leaving the train station, Zhu Jue saw that some teams had already prepared the vehicles and supplies for the people from Anling City in advance, and left the station without the slightest stop, driving away directly, all the way to the destination in Anqing Mansion.
On the contrary, it seems that Zhu Jue is very unprofessional, standing alone at the entrance of the station, watching those obviously specially modified off-road vehicles drive away one after another, and soon found that there are many vehicles near the station that provide dangerous area pick-up and drop-off services, and someone specially hung a fluorescent sign on the window on one side, which said that people can be transported to certain locations in the danger zone outside Anling City.
Of course, the asking price is not low.
Most of the owners of these cars are locals of Anling City, and they know that these gold diggers can't have transportation when they come here on the fortress train, so they come here in advance to help the gold diggers save time, and at the same time, they can earn thousands of federal coins just by driving the car out for a spin, which is close to the income of ordinary people from a month's work.
And like Zhu Jue just saw those prepared vehicles are actually the first batch of experienced old drivers who found business opportunities here, their combat ability may not be very good, but with their familiarity with the terrain and routes in the danger zone, coupled with the reputation accumulated for a long time, they have even become a "special car" now, and they have to spend a high price to invite them, and they can often earn tens of thousands of dollars on a trip, even in the gold rush team.
"I shouldn't be in the car~ I should be under the car~"
Humming a strange tune that suddenly appeared in his mind, Zhu Jue found a more reliable looking army green off-road vehicle and leaned over.
"Where are you going, my friend's car has been specially modified, no matter where you are, as long as you pay for it, I can bring it to the center of Yecheng!
In the driver's seat was a middle-aged man, wearing sunglasses and a sunhat, and when he saw Zhu Jue appear at the window, he patted his chest and said.
"That's a good feeling, I'm just going to the center of Yecheng, let's go...... Why can't you open this door?"
As soon as Zhu Jue heard that there were still people who could pick up and drop off in the central area of Yecheng, he immediately prepared to get on the bus.
However, when he grabbed the doorknob, the door was locked.
"Friend, are you really going to the central area of Yecheng, are you crazy?"
The driver was also helpless, what he just said was just a faΓ§ade sentence, and he actually met a stunned young man.
Yes, Zhu Jue's current image in his eyes is not much different from those guys who ask for money and don't want to die after a while, and all he thinks about is that Yecheng is full of resources that have not been looted, and he completely forgets the A-level mark that the archaeological association has put on that area.
"Hey, you said that you can go to the central area of Yecheng and include pick-up, so you open the door and deceive consumers?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense, don't talk about the central area of Yecheng, you ask the people around here, who dares to go to the vicinity of Yecheng, we want to risk making a profit, but it's not to the extent of going to the pillars of the Hades Hall to pick gems, isn't it?"
If nothing else, the analogy made by this car owner is quite apt.
"I'll go!"
The crisp sound from the side made Zhu Jue stunned, and the driver in the car also had a stiff expression.
Is there anyone who is not afraid of death?
The two of them turned their heads at the same time, and saw a woman wearing a machine uniform with two chains of thumbs hanging crosswise.
"I'll go to Yecheng, how much do you pay?"
The hand wearing gray-brown labor protection gloves pushed the mechanical glasses on the top of her head, and the woman looked at Zhu Jue with her waist in her waist and asked bluntly.
"How much do you want?"
"Go to 30,000, come back 20,000, and I can only send you to a bus stop on the outskirts of Yecheng, and then wait for you there for one night!"
"Deal!"
As long as he can return to Yecheng, Zhu Jue will naturally not be short of money, so he nodded without hesitation.
The woman who thought she was going to bargain was a little at a loss when she heard that the other party actually agreed so happily, you must know that the price she offered was the most expensive here.
"A madman, a fool!"
The middle-aged man leaned back on the seat and sighed helplessly.
Zhu Jue followed the woman to her car, and when she saw its true body, even Zhu Jue's eyes widened involuntarily.
"As we all know, the monsters of the spiritual pollution source do not accept any form of negotiation, as long as they are caught, there is only one result, and their attack power can be easily broken through even if it is bulletproof steel armor, so in my philosophy, if you want to avoid those monsters as much as possible, our vehicles should pursue the ultimate speed, my car is specially modified, abandoning all the cumbersome, streamlined body, extremely low turf, built-in multiple splicing engine ......"
"Multi-splicing engine?"
Zhu Jue looked at the half-exposed old engine in front of him, which was obviously assembled from various parts, and for the first time, he finally thoroughly understood the structure of an engine for the first time, smacking his lips and continued,
"I understand the reason, you plan to drive me to Yecheng in such a car that is ventilated on all sides and looks similar to a moving coffin?"
That's right, the earthy yellow buggy car with the scientific name "Jumping" loaded with the "multiple splicing engine" is the other party's car.
Zhu Jue swallowed his saliva, he suddenly felt that if he took this car on the road, he didn't know if there was any danger from the monster of the spiritual pollution source, and the possibility of being murdered by this female driver was quite high.
Half an hour later......
The engine mixed with some strange sound roared wantonly, and Zhu Jue sat in the back seat of the car, holding his knees with his hands, and staring at the driver of the car behind him.
βS-H-I-TοΌβ
Zhu Jue, who really couldn't control his swearing, began to regret why he spent money to find guilt for himself.
However, when the vehicle really drove away from Anling City, Zhu Jue was surprised to find that the car was not as unbearable as he imagined, the steering was flexible, and the off-road ability was not bad, plus it was indeed lightweight, and the speed was not slow at all, and this female driver, who was a little unreliable before, seemed to know some ways to take shortcuts, and often deviated from the road, relying on the narrow body to cross some wild trails, which could save a lot of time.
"Ivanka, what are you doing in Yecheng?"
After driving for more than two hours, probably bored, the female driver named Linda suddenly asked.
"Treasure hunting. β
Zhu Juezheng is exercising his ability by making various different shapes of ice cubes, and responds casually.
"No way, I've never seen anyone go to gold with just a knife, and you don't even have a backpack...... I just heard you say that you seem to have to go to the central area? Yecheng is very dangerous!"
Linda has met a lot of gold diggers, and even those who don't know anything know that they need to have a good backpack when they go out to pan for gold, otherwise there will be no place to store any good things even if they find them.
"You should know that it's dangerous around there, so why do you dare to take me there?"
Deliberately changing the topic, Zhu Jue was also a little curious about Linda's intentions, she was a strong strength, and this woman who didn't bring a weapon actually took Yecheng as her destination without changing her face.
"With 50,000 Federation Coins plus my previous savings, I can leave Anling City and go to Dawning City...... What about fighting hard, in this era, what is the point of living for people who have no money?"
Linda's answer was quite strong.
"I wish you success. β
"You haven't told me what you're doing in Yecheng. β
"Didn't you just say it, treasure hunting? β
Throwing out a diamond-shaped ice crystal, cutting off the branches that grew horizontally from the passing shrubs, watching it go away with the wind, Zhu Jue whispered,
"I have a very important treasure lost in the center of Yecheng, and I have to go and find it, no matter how dangerous it is. β
"Lost, are you a resident of Yecheng?"
Guessing his identity from Zhu Jue's words, Linda asked with some surprise.
"Well, I haven't been back in years. β
Approaching Yecheng, Zhu Jue suffered a little from gains and losses, looking at the gloomy sky where some clouds had accumulated since just now, and his mood was suddenly a little low.
It was only a few hours, and the rain clouds of dawn arrived in Anqing Mansion.
He was frozen for five years.
Is it still there?
