Chapter 40: The Backing City
Raising his head and not letting the tears in his eyes lie down, Ye Yu sniffed, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "I don't want to talk to you anymore, don't talk to me anymore, I don't want to see you anymore when I get to the backer city." ”
Xiao Yunfei made a "you are free" gesture, leaned back, closed his eyes and stopped talking. Ye Hao adjusted his mood for a moment before he sat up, grabbed the steering wheel, and drove the car out of this bloody rocky beach.
As Scar said, turning over the hill in front of you is the backing hill. When Ye Yu drove past the highest point of the dirt slope, the backing city came into his eyes.
The names of the people of the last days have a real feeling, the mountain city is as its name suggests, backed by a towering mountain peak, flanked by rolling hills, and a large river rolling in front of it. Looking from afar, Ye Yu can still see some obvious traces that have been preserved from a hundred years ago. It was probably originally a human city, but because of the steep terrain and inconvenient transportation, it is estimated that it has not developed well, but now it has become an excellent location. The steep terrain made it difficult for soul beasts and mutants to attack, and the stone wall around the city was more than two meters high, making the backing city even stronger.
"This city is across the river, how do you get there?" Ye Yu asked.
"From this side, there is a place to pass." Looking in the direction of Scar's finger, in the narrower part of the river, there is an old stone bridge, the bridge deck is about the width of a lane, but many places have collapsed, and it looks very dangerous.
The age of this bridge is estimated to be older than all the people in the car, and even Ye Hao suspects that this is not a modern repair. Because just in the other direction, there is a reinforced concrete bridge that breaks in the middle of the river. Compared to it, the stone bridge is probably some kind of specially preserved historical attraction, but a hundred years later, this scenic spot is stronger than the modern one, which has to be sighed.
Ye Hao carefully set up the jeep slowly through the stone bridge, because it was built in the narrow part of the river, the water flow below was even more turbulent and turbulent, this is still the dry season in winter, if it is changed to the summer when the rain is sufficient, the water flow below does not know what it will look like. However, although this journey was thrilling, it was nothing in front of Ye Hao, a special soul warrior with enhanced senses.
After crossing the river for a short while, the gate of the mountain city was close in front of me. The two large iron doors made of pure metal were covered with spikes the thickness of arms, and they looked quite intimidating. The walls on both sides were not made of masonry, but huge granite stones, which were cemented with lime cement between the cracks. What surprised Ye Yu the most was that there was a guard tower more than three meters high on both sides of the city wall, and there was a heavy machine gun on the guard tower, and a strong man was guarding next to the machine gun.
"I'm Scar of the Blood Knife Squad, I'm going out hunting and returning, so I'm in trouble to open the door." Scar shouted.
The people on the two towers were probably some kind of semi-mutants, and their eyes were surprisingly large, but they had a bit of a two-dimensional feeling. They all gestured downward at the same time, and in a moment the steel gate creaked and slowly opened.
Behind the door are two strong men, one of whom is holding a submachine gun in his hand, at least it looks like a submachine gun, because Ye Yu is not familiar with the models of these weapons at all, but in terms of these weapons, the combat power of the backer city is simply crushing the Dashui tribe, not to mention anything else, just these three guns can slaughter the Dashui tribe completely.
"Yo, Scar, why did you come back like this?" One of the big men, who seemed to be an acquaintance of Scar, stepped forward and said in surprise. As soon as I approached the jeep, I was attracted by the trophies loaded on it.
"Hey, good fellow, did you a ghost-faced spider?" He patted Scar's shoulder enviously, "It's worth it to suffer this little injury." At this time, he found Ye Yu and Xiao Yunfei in the car, took two steps back, raised his gun and pointed at the two of them: "Scar, don't say that I, Li Laosan, don't give you face, you know the rules." ”
"Rest assured, neither of these men is an ordinary person." Scar reluctantly stood up and walked in front of Li Laosan, stuffed a few backing coins into his hand without a trace, and whispered a few words in his ear. Li Laosan looked at Ye Yu a few times in surprise, and hurriedly gave way to the road.
"Yo, big man, please come in, please come in." He wanted to make a gesture of bending down to invite, but the gun was stuck in his waist, and Li Laosan was half-bent over, looking extremely funny.
Ye Yu was in a bad mood, and he didn't bother to talk to him more, so he changed to the passenger seat and returned the driving rights of the jeep to Scar. In Li Laosan's attention, the jeep slowly drove into the mountain city.
"Third brother, why are you so ...... all of a sudden" Another strong man with a gun approached Li Laosan and asked. Li Laosan slapped him on the back of the head with a backhand. "You know a ball, I want you to take care of Lao Tzu's affairs." After turning his head and glancing at it, he made sure that the jeep had left, and then he said with emotion: "Scar, this kid, is really lucky, I guess I will have to follow him in the future." ”
The pattern of the backing city is naturally incomparable to the Dashui tribe or the transfer station, but for people like Ye Hao, who are used to seeing the bustling city, it can only be regarded as depressed and dilapidated. The ground still retains the old road from a hundred years ago, and although there are small potholes and cracks everywhere, at least it looks like it has been regularly tended and there are no weeds.
Some of the well-preserved buildings have naturally become residences, those buildings that are more seriously damaged, after the transformation is also a good place to shelter from the wind and rain, and you can still see pedestrians coming and going on the street, their physical fitness is not optimistic, most of them are very thin, and the people of the Dashui tribe are not much worse, at most they are better than the Dashui tribe. Occasionally, you can see one or two strong men like Scar, with weapons pinned to their waists.
In general, similar to some post-apocalyptic movies that Ye Yu had watched before, the overall appearance of the backer city is still quite dilapidated, maybe for someone like Scar who was born in the wasteland, this is already a very prosperous place.
"Zhuzi, you take Ye Yu to the backing city for a walk, I and the pole will go to put the car first, the materials will be sold, and then find Xiao Yunfei to settle the final payment, and we will meet at the old place at night." Scar whispered to the pillar, out of three, 9jr
"You don't have to worry about me, I'm going to take care of something, and I'll meet you at that place in the evening."
"Damn, what should you do if you run away?" The pole does not dry in the first place.
"With the prestige of your scar, are you still afraid that I will be able to run away in the backing city?" Xiao Yunfei said and jumped out of the car by himself, waved his hand, and then went into an alley and disappeared without a trace.
The remaining four people were stunned in place, Xiao Yunfei seemed to have a strange power, which made people hate his behavior very much, but they were always powerless to stop it.
"Why don't I take Ye Yu to visit the backing city, the pillar is stuffy, and I can't say anything." The pole volunteered.
"No need, don't come with me, I'll go by myself." Ye Yu said, seeing the expressions of the others, he added: "You don't have to worry, I just want to be alone and quiet, you can tell me where to meet at night." ”
Seeing Ye Hao's firm attitude, Scar did not continue to force him stupidly, and after telling Ye Yu an address, he drove away.
