A wide, straight road crosses the wilderness, and some of the gravel on the roadbed has long since disappeared, and occasionally you can see some thin asphalt, which is already a good pavement.

Brown rocks gradually replaced yellow-black dunes, and green plants began to grow.

This is a major road to the "Mine City".

The majestic mountains in the distance, stretching across the hilly terrain, resemble layers of building blocks stacked high.

Broken pavements and bridges across riverbeds can be found everywhere in this area. But there is no water in the river, and the bridge is no longer a bridge - only a few columns and fracture surfaces remain.

Along the way, the common ones isolated by barbed wire on the roadside are semi-deserted fields. There are also vegetable gardens or pastures that are fenced into small plots, and in the vicinity of such places there are most likely human settlements or even small towns.

"Whoosh!"

A modified car sped by, overtaking the roaring locomotive.

"Yohe~ The old man's car is very fierce!" A mob with a locomotive shouted, but soon the cry was forgotten by the modified car......

The speed of this car is definitely like a meteor catching the moon, rolling up a storm of earthy yellow. The "hum" sound brought out by the motor exceeded that of the motor with the same output force, and it also left the caravan vehicles on the road in front of them, far behind.

It was a streamlined, dilapidated car with a flat nose and a horizontal rear wing and two large jet engines hanging underneath.

But the jet engine is just a decoration, and the owner of the car likes the look.

"Hahaha! Eat my P and go, mongrel! ”

The driver was a spiritual old man wearing goggles, and he tilted his head and poured another mouthful of liquid from the iron kettle. With a white beard and two large front teeth that show out when he grins, the co-pilot sits a teenager who also wears goggles.

The young man was Humfit, and the old man was naturally his grandfather Humbatton.

The two of them were in the mining city, and they thought that they could smoothly buy those advanced parts that were rebuilt after being unearthed, but it backfired......

They only bought some very ordinary things.

Luckily, there are a few of Barton's old friends, who have moved here a long time ago, and these are quite skilled engineering technicians.

So, Fett and his grandfather stayed at the house of some old friends for a few months.

Every day I go to the nearby town to buy the parts they need, and ask where more advanced parts are for sale.

Fortunately, this place not only has a large population, but also has a great demand for machinery products. Senior mechanics like them have always been well respected.

There are many local workshops that also manufacture production and household machinery. There is also a large agricultural machinery factory called "Heavy Air Hammer", which is famous throughout the Central Continent.

The two of them spent a lot of money here, so they soon became shy.

What if you run out of money?

It's not a difficult thing for them to do - if they have the craft, they are afraid that they will not have money?

Both of them are very skilled, so they simply saved money by doing some mechanical modification and maintenance work locally.

In the past few months, there have been countless machines that have been tuned by the two masters, but the main thing is the vehicle engine. After passing through their hands, the performance has become much stronger.

After a long time, there were more repeat customers, and even many nobles came to visit.

This made the nearby mechanical workshops and repair shops very angry - because of their presence, these shops in the town were left in the cold......

In this way, they helped some powerful groups or nobles modify a lot of vehicles, and they made a lot of money at all.

In this way, it can also make up for their huge expenses.

They don't remember how much it spent, and it also includes the ones that Joyna later asked her men to bring.

Those men had been ordered by Joyna to follow them, but they were soon sent back to the west by Old Man Barton.

In the past few days, Barton has been thinking about the money and has prepared a lot, and he should go to other big towns. He's going to buy the kind of battery that is rumored to be able to drive an entire motor with just the amount of a single hair.

"I say, do we really have to go to that black market to get it, old man?"

Fett seemed to be a little reluctant to Grandpa's decision, which was the largest black market in the Central Continent, and it would be dangerous for a traveler like them with no background.

"Then don't you need to say, didn't people tell us clearly? That thing is already rare, and even fewer can flow outside, and money can't buy it anywhere else! ”

A few days ago, after many inquiries, they finally learned that there was a black market event in the most prosperous main city of Mine City.

It is not necessarily true to say that it is a "black market", there are still some forces that are managing it in the dark. It is said that these forces have something to do with the local aristocracy. But because it is only semi-public, and no force has jumped out to clarify its legitimacy, people who are familiar with it call him a "black market".

There is not only a wide variety of commodities there – from slaves to technology excavated from pre-civilizations, from livestock to equipment modified from precision materials in factories, and even military supplies. In short, almost anything can be sold, and all kinds of rare things are sky-high prices, so they are indeed "black......

Many big merchants in the Central Continent or other regional gangs will come here on a regular basis to buy and trade.

It is said that this event is very unusual and is jointly sponsored by several noble gangs with backgrounds. In addition, they also spent a lot of money and hired a very powerful hunter group to maintain security at the scene and in the surrounding area.

……

"Boy, don't worry, do you see this?"

Out of nowhere, the old man got a double-barreled short gun, which looked like a shotgun for hunting.

With that, he poured another sip of liquor into his mouth—a bottle of the finest wine from the nobles.

"Click!" As soon as the old man pressed the mechanism, his arm shook, and the tail of two large shotguns with red circles was exposed on the breech of the gun.

"This, is this a hunting gun?" Fett asked.

"Hey! Do you care if it's hunting or beating people? Self-defense is enough, and the power is strong enough! ”

"Ahh Watch out for that ......"

Fett looked up sharply and saw a ditch suddenly appear in front of the road.

A deep ravine, as if someone had cut the pavement.

"Squeak! Gah-"

With the sound of rubbing, a pungent smell of burnt hu wafted up.

Old Man Patton made a frantic stop and drifted, and the body of the car that spurted into the roadbed came to a halt, and a huge cloud of dust was raised behind the car.

"Bastard, who made this big hole!" Barton scolded angrily.

Before he could finish speaking, several thugs armed to the teeth rushed out from both sides of the road.

The two of them were dumbfounded, no matter how powerful the shotgun was, it was not easy to use in the face of so many people.

Old man Patton was in a hurry and stepped on the accelerator to reverse!

"Poof!" There was a violent deflation sound......

I don't know when a row of spikes was placed on the back road.

"Haha, stupid!"

Led by a thug dressed in khaki, he rushed up and pointed a gun at them.

"Get me off! Throw everything of value on your body to the ground! ”

Several other thugs also surrounded him with weapons.

"Okay, don't shoot, I'll give you everything on ......"

"Yo he! Still with big trolls? Be honest with me, and put your hands behind your head! ”

One of the thugs reached out and grabbed the shotgun from the car.

Patton is also refreshed, this kind of thug who blocks the road and robs, he has not encountered it once or twice, as long as they give them something, they don't want to shoot.

Most of these people are stragglers in this area—the big gangs with real power will only rob the big caravans, or the people who have a lot of oil and water, and they don't bother to pay attention to travelers like them......

"Wait! What is that? ”

Suddenly, Fit shouted, and then his expression stiffened, and his eyes widened.

I saw him look up at the sky, his mouth was wide open, and when he held his head just now, he saw a miracle - there was a person flying in the air?

"Less of this! If you want to scare our brothers, you're still tender! ”

The leader said, but he looked up vigilantly and glanced in the direction he was looking, but he didn't see anything at all.

"Phew! I want to deceive this big ......"

Before he could say the word "master", his body was like being shocked, his neck was crooked, his mouth foamed and convulsed for a while, and he suddenly collapsed to the ground!
