Chapter 7: Advance in the Wilderness
"You can't buy it!" Zhao Xin said, if you can't buy it, you can only fight!
Fortunately, he now has a certain strength, plus Zhao Wu, when he encounters a junior demon beast that is not too perverted, he should be able to catch it, and if he uses the Collapse Fist, the weaker intermediate level should be able to deal with it.
However, the demon beast is not a cabbage, waiting for Zhao Xin to cut it.
After discussing with Zhao Wu and the others, they decided to go out of the wilderness, find demon beasts, and hunt demon beasts.
It is said that after the appearance of the human base city, it also maintained a delicate balance with the demon beast group in the wild, and the monster beasts would not easily attack the base city.
And the masters of the major base cities, in addition to the need for cultivation, will not easily go out to hunt demon beasts, after all, they were barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes back then, but now it is not, any junior awakened person can be worshiped for humans in the base city, eating and drinking spicy food.
How many are willing to go out and work hard?
Zhao Xin also has no choice, he finally got the system, and it doesn't hurt to keep trying to do it without upgrading, but if you don't improve, others will improve, and the crisis will not be eliminated by itself.
Besides, now that he doesn't even have a name, how can he gain the power of faith?
Could it be that the power of faith has to be begged by others to give it to you?
Who are the other eight [Cohesion Pills] for? Of course, it is for his own believers, in the current situation, with Zhao Xin's identity, even if he creates eight awakened people, there may not be hole cards to make people die.
Isn't that also a wedding dress for others in the end?
Rather lack than excess, this is Zhao Xin's plan for the remaining [Cohesion Dan].
Zhao Xin and the others prepared three truckloads of supplies, and temporarily recruited more than 20 guides who were proficient in wilderness survival in the walled city, and brought enough wilderness maps with information about the monsters that humans had encountered in the wilderness over the years.
There were a total of four cars, three large trucks, and a pickup truck that Zhao Xin and Zhao Wu were sitting on.
Zhao Wu drove the pickup truck, and Zhao Xin sat in the co-pilot, wearing a pair of Air Force glasses and a cigarette in his mouth.
The group set off for the wilderness.
This group of people and horses was full of about forty people, more than twenty guides, including drivers from the Zhao Mansion, miscellaneous servants, guards with guns, and even two cooks.
This can't help but make people wonder whether the boss is going to hunt monsters or go wild......
The wind on Wasteland Ridge was still so strong, and the wind and sand clicked on the glass.
At the same time, the news that Boss Zhao led the team to hunt demon beasts spread far and wide......
After all, in this apocalyptic world where materials are scarce, there are not too many people who can mobilize four cars, which can be called a big scene!
Lu Zheng listened to the report of his subordinates.
"Really? Did they really go to the wasteland? Lu Zheng looked a little incredulous.
"My lord! The subordinates saw with their own eyes that four cars were in full swing, full of supplies and men, and a dozen soldiers with guns. The subordinate reported seriously.
"It's also a strange thing, for no reason, why do you think this idiot is going to provoke demon beasts? Just with that Zhao Wu under him, a primary power awakener, it is not enough to stuff the teeth of the demon beast, is he crazy? Lu Zheng groaned.
"My subordinates also went to inquire, this Zhao Gongzi is said to want to eat the meat of demon beasts, and he didn't have it all over the city, so he planned to hunt by himself, as for whether he could hunt it, maybe he thought he could!" The subordinate laughed.
"Weird! This is absolutely not normal! It is possible that he Zhao Xin is a fool, but even if Zhao Wu is loyal, he will not go up even if he is a dead end, there must be something wrong here! Lu Zheng stood up and analyzed while pacing in the office.
"What the adults said is completely reasonable, but Zhao Xin took so many people to the wasteland, not to hunt demon beasts, is there any other purpose?" His subordinates were also a little confused.
After a while, Lu Zheng suddenly shouted: "It's not good! It must be so! ”
Deng Shi threw down his unknown subordinates and drove a military vehicle directly into the official residence of Hong Tianshuo, the minister of the inner city.
When the soldiers guarding saw that it was Lu Zheng, they hurriedly saluted and did not stop them, and let them go directly.
As one of the three giants of the [Wasteland Star], Hong Tianshuo has the power of people's livelihood, finance, public security and so on!
It's a big guy who stomps on the entire wasteland ridge and shakes three times!
In recent years, the city lord Li Yaotian has often practiced in retreat, and the major affairs in the city are basically handed over to Hong Tianshuo and Feng Tiefei, the military minister, to adjudicate.
Neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp, and in the past ten years, they have dismantled each other and retaliated against each other, and they have long been inseparable.
There are a total of forty junior awakened people in the city, and after years of operation, nearly thirty have become pawns in the hands of Chief Hong.
These people are basically the directors of various key departments, and Hong Tianshuo also uses these people to control this pearl of the wasteland.
It can be said that many departments may not know the city lord now, but they must obey Hong Tianshuo's orders.
So Hong Tianshuo's official residence has always been very lively!
It was Chief Hong's secretary who came to meet him, and when he saw Lu Zheng smiling and saluting, "Hello Chief Lu!" ”
"Secretary Wu, don't joke with my brother, what kind of officer am I? Don't be ashamed of your brother! Lu Zheng said modestly.
Although this Secretary Wu is a secretary, he is also an awakener, and he is also a relatively rare fire-type awakener, in front of this person, Lu Zheng does not dare to take it.
"Haha, Brother Lu is modest, who doesn't know the four towns in the southeast, northwest and northwest, the fattest of which is your Xizhen, the mayor of Xizhen, Sun Yaoting, is an old man, ignoring government affairs, pondering women all day long, my aunt's wife marries one a month, and she will die at every turn, and the matter of Huangxi is not up to you, brother!" Secretary Wu, as the shadow of Chief Hong, naturally knows everything about the outside world.
"Hahaha, it's not as exaggerated as you said, Chief Sun is still my chief after all, and I have to respect him, isn't it!" After speaking, Lu Zheng then laughed.
The two chatted for a while, and Secretary Wu said, "I almost forgot, Brother Lu is here to see Chief Hong, right?"
"Yes, I found a problem, I want to report it to the chief, is it inconvenient for the chief now?"
Secretary Wu nodded and said, "It's convenient, the others just left, but Chief Hong is going to the City Lord's Mansion in a while, and there is not too much time!" ”
"To the City Lord's Mansion? So, the city lord is out of the customs? Lu Zheng was surprised.
"yes, who knows what kind of medicine this old guy sells in his gourd!" Secretary Wu's face was a little gloomy.
"Xiao Lu, are you here?" Hong Tianshuo was an officer before the disaster, and although he is now in charge of civil affairs, he still maintains a military style, wearing military uniforms and being meticulous.
Lu Zheng knew the style of his own patriarch, and he didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Report to the chief, I got the news today, Zhao Shanhe's son Zhao Xin, with his new awakened Zhao Wu, drove four cars, a total of forty-two people, the cars were full of supplies, and there were more than a dozen guards with guns, heading towards the depths of the wilderness. ”
"Oh?" Hong Tianshuo was puzzled: "What is the purpose of knowing?" ”
Lu Zheng pondered: "What is claimed on the surface is that he intends to go to the wilderness to hunt demon beasts!" ”
"Hunting monsters? Just because these people still have a junior awakener? Hong Tianshuo's voice was a little cold.
"Therefore, I suspect that Zhao Xin's trip must have another purpose, judging from the membership structure, I analyze that they may be looking for Zhao Shanhe!" Lu Zheng said firmly.
"Zhao Shanhe! We've been looking for almost a year, and there's no news, and we've been monitoring Zhao Xin, and we haven't found any suspicious contact information. Or are you prepared? ”
"This ......"
…………
Just as Chief Hong was scratching his head for Zhao Xin's trip, Zhao Xin's convoy had already driven more than a hundred miles out of the [Wasteland Star], and if it went further, it was about to enter the depths of the wasteland.
Looking at the bare wasteland, where stones are sandy soil, Zhao Xin was inexplicably excited to survive in the wild.
"Gao Kui! Come here! The convoy stopped, and Zhao Wu called Gao Kui.
Gao Kui is also one of the guides of this temporary recruitment, and his familiarity with the wasteland can be said to be one of the best.
Zhao Xin had worked with him because of many bird hunts before, and felt that this person was very sensible and had a strong business, and he was the boss of the five-person group at that time.
"How many of your brothers are there?" Zhao Xin's rare and pleasant face.
"It's here! It's all here, Mr. Zhao's affairs don't dare to delay Nirvana! Gao Kui said exaggeratedly.
"Lao Gao, they all say that you are an old wastelander, you tell me, what should we do next!" Zhao Xin took out a cigarette case, handed one to Gao Kui, and lit one himself.
Gao Kui took the cigarette with both hands, did not smoke it directly, but put it on his ear, and then said: "Drive more than thirty miles further, it belongs to the depths of the wasteland, in fact, the depths of the wasteland are not too big, some are long and narrow, let's go in the north, go south, enter the depths of the wasteland, the straight-line distance is three hundred miles, and we will go out, and the other end is the famous [Military Industrial City]!" ”
"We brought a rich family before, they went to the Military Industry City from our Wasteland Star, in addition to a few of our guides, there was also a group of hunting teams, God forbid, there was no danger, and they arrived in the Military Industry City in two and a half days."
"But we don't want to go out, our purpose now is to hunt demon beasts, my opinion is to camp at the outermost periphery, just enter the edge of the wasteland red zone, sleep for a while, search again at dawn, and return to the camp before it gets dark, although it is troublesome, but it is not too dangerous, at least the possibility of us suddenly encountering demon beasts at night is relatively low." Gao Kui doesn't look at him like an old farmer, he really cares about it when he analyzes it.
In this way, at least the possibility of being attacked by monsters at night is greatly reduced, after all, compared to humans, night is easier for monsters to adapt to.
Zhao Xin nodded approvingly, this plan is very pertinent, and it is also based on the safest and reasonable plan, Zhao Xin is also the first time to go hunting, and he has no concept of these, so he is as good as a stream, and said: "Zhao Wu, follow the plan that Lao Gao said!" ”
The convoy then started slowly again, and just as it was about to enter the wilderness red zone, which is the danger zone, a jeep suddenly rushed out of the gap between the two dirt mountains on the opposite side!
