Chapter 17: Gifts
Three days have passed in a blink of an eye, Richard's injuries are recovering well, and there is no major problem, and he is now working with Uncle Hou to add armor to the vehicles in the repair shop, and the three cars have long been transformed beyond recognition by them.
Especially Uncle Hou's car, the extra seats were removed, and the space was much larger, and after installing thick armor, the protection level was greatly improved.
The armor is also equipped with sharp spikes and ramming horns, which will definitely kill or cripple if it hits a person, and several shooting holes are specially opened to scare people.
Mu Chen, who has the highest level of shooting, is not sure to guarantee a hit rate on a high-speed vehicle, let alone others.
Uncle Hou also tried to improve the off-road performance of this car, although it could not reach all-terrain off-road, but it was still easy to walk on flat ground with small slopes and small ditches.
Mu Chen's driving skills have improved rapidly under the guidance of the eagle, although there is still a gap compared to the eagle, but he is still proficient.
The power source of this era has long been rid of fossil fuels such as gasoline and natural gas, and most civilian vehicles use clean and efficient hydrogen fuel cells, although they are not as small nuclear fusion energy sources as used on spacecraft, but they are still enough for Mu Chen.
This hydrogen fuel cell is truly durable, capable of traveling more than 5,000 kilometers when fully refueled with hydrogen, and can reach speeds of up to 500 kilometers per hour.
And it is zero emission, thanks to this technology, the air pollution problem that has plagued mankind for many years has been greatly alleviated.
There is a small hydrogen generator in the repair shop, so they don't have to worry about running out of fuel.
Of course, the problem of food has not been solved, and even with Muyue's careful calculations, the food in the repair shop is still decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
At this moment, Mu Chen and Hou Ying were driving to Bar Street, where the black market merchants gathered, and they planned to exchange the surplus medicine for some daily necessities.
The bar street is not as lively as it used to be, most of the bars have closed down, only a few are still open, and the people who come here are no longer for entertainment, most of them have the same purpose as Mu Chen.
Mu Chen and the others came to the Trek Bar, Brother Dajun was rarely drinking, and he was very happy to see Mu Chen.
"Komaki is here? How's it going, how are everyone in the family? Mo Ziqing asked with concern.
"Sister Ziqing, our side is fine, what about you and Brother Dajun?" Mu Chen's heart warmed and he said gratefully.
"What can we do here? How can anyone who is not long-sighted dare to spread wild in Lao Tzu's territory? Wang Jun said with a smile.
is also said that Wang Jun survived on the battlefield after thousands of tempers, and he is not known how many times stronger than the soldiers in the camp who have never been on the battlefield.
"Brother Dajun, can you introduce a reliable businessman? We're here to get some food and nutrients. After the greetings, Mu Chen explained his intentions.
"What? Running out of food at home? Wang Jun asked with a frown.
"It's not like I'm going to run out of food, but I'm a little nervous." Mu Chen didn't hide it, and said honestly.
"Food is in short supply now, I can't buy star coins at all, I can only exchange materials for it, I still have some food here, take more back in a while, it's your salary last week." Wang Jun said magnificently.
Obviously, it is to take care of this little brother, you must know that the value of the star coins in the camp is depreciating greatly, and Mu Chen's own salary can be said to be worthless.
Mu Chen was moved in his heart, but he refused: "No need Brother Dajun, I guess I can exchange some good things for a lot of food." As he spoke, he opened the travel bag he was carrying, full of all kinds of medicines.
"Oh, you kid can do it!" Wang Jun was taken aback, medicine is second only to food in short supply, who would have thought that this guy would have so much.
"Hehe...... Mu Chen smiled embarrassedly and didn't explain much.
"You guy, the sticky hair is better than a monkey, so many medicines are estimated to be able to change a lot of things." Wang Jun reached out and rummaged through his travel bag and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
"There are still some at home." Mu Chen nodded and said.
Wang Jun thought for a moment before saying, "Xiao Mu, let me tell you the truth, these medicines are very precious, and if you trade with black market merchants, I'm afraid you will suffer a big loss."
If you believe me, just leave it to me, and I'll find a way to change more things for you with your sister Ziqing. ”
Mu Chen still trusted Wang Jun quite a bit, discussed it with Hou Ying, and nodded in agreement.
"Let's talk about it first, your brother Wang is also nervous, we have to take one percent of the transaction, do you have no opinion?"
"Okay, you and Sister Ziqing are usually so good to me, I believe you won't let me suffer."
"Good boy, a righteous man!" Wang Jun patted Mu Chen's shoulder with satisfaction.
"The food and nutrients you want will be ready for Ziqing to take away when you leave, and you can come over once every three days for the rest, and I will give it to you."
"Brother Dajun, I'll ask you about this, the main thing is to trade some food and nutrients, by the way, I still want to ask you something." Mu Chen whispered.
"Don't be mother-in-law, mother-in-law, if you have something to say, there is a fart, can I still lie to you?" Wang Jun lit a cigarette, took a sharp puff, and said impatiently.
"I want to go outside the camp to have a look, and I've made some preparations, I want you to help me see what else is missing." Mu Chen humbly asked.
Wang Jun is a real hunting expert, an elite on the battlefield, although his combat effectiveness is no longer what it used to be, he is absolutely experienced, and his words may be able to reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Wang Jun glanced at Mu Chen in surprise, he had always thought that this kid was short of blood, and he always looked like a good boy with a smiling face, who knew that he would have such a big courage.
"Figured it out? Not on the spur of the moment? Wang Jun asked solemnly.
Mu Chen nodded seriously, it was urgent to go hunting outside the camp, and the longer it dragged on, the more dangerous it became.
Many people in the camp have already died for the sake of resources, and it will not be long before many people are forced to leave the camp in desperation, and the risk of going out to hunt will be even greater at that time.
"Wait." Wang Jun glanced at Mu Chen deeply, turned around and left, and came over with a large box after a while.
"You have these things," Wang Jun said indifferently as he handed him the box.
"It's all things I used back then, and they're not worth a few dollars, so I'll give them to you."
"Isn't that okay?" Mu Chen hesitated a little, opened the box and saw that it was actually a set of field combat equipment, which was obviously a treasure treasured by Wang Jun.
"If you want to take it, you can take it, where is there so much nonsense, it's useless for me to keep this thing." Wang Jun said impatiently.
Then he took out a map from his arms, "This is a map of the environment around Camp 2 that I have drawn by myself, it is not very accurate, you will just look at it, Lao Tzu is retired now, and the combat map in the army is not available, but it is enough for you." ”
A thin map, but it made Mu Chen feel as heavy as a thousand pounds.
This is what Wang Jun's unit bought with blood and life, recording in detail the information of a radius of nearly 1,000 kilometers around Camp 2, and also deliberately dividing the danger level and the creatures inhabiting each area.
This map is a priceless treasure for Mu Chen, and it can greatly improve his chances of survival.
"Brother Dajun, thank you." Mu Chen said gratefully.
", it's annoying to look at you like this!" Wang Jun pouted and said, this is his character, and he can't stand the gratitude of others to him.
Mu Chen bowed deeply to Wang Jun before turning around and leaving with Hou Ying with his things.
Wang Jun looked at Mu Chen's back as he left, took a deep breath of his cigarette, and muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "Stinky boy, come back alive." ”
