Zheng Yi carried an iron bucket onto the pickup truck, which was an "ordinary" bucket given to him by Lao Wei, so that he could pour the special grade water out of the barrel. The water can be drunk on the road or used as hard currency. He put the water away, pulled the door and got into the car.

The driver took off his sunglasses and revealed a fierce face.

"I'm sorry for you in the morning." Zheng Yi sat down and said hello and pulled on his seat belt.

The driver nodded coolly, started the engine, and stepped on the electric door to the end, and the pickup truck rushed out at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour. When the Crucible City was thrown far on the horizon, he said, "My name is Ah Jiu, you will come to report my name in the future, so as not to misunderstand." ”

Zheng Yi said yes and said, "Drink as much as you like." Then he closed his eyes and rested.

He had just woken up from Annu Tassamet's departure, and then went to Ijuyiluvida for most of the day, and then to the water planet for a whole day, and had a fight with a high-ranking unknown person, and finally talked to Old Wei for most of the night...... If it weren't for a certain degree of physical modification, coupled with hard training at Annu Tassamet, it would have been impossible to hold on.

At this moment, the air conditioner in the pickup truck was blowing a cool breeze, isolating the hot weather outside, and Zheng Yi, who was full of food and drink, was sleepy, and put down the seat and fell into a deep sleep.

Ah Jiu saw that Zheng Yi said that he would sleep and knew that this person was very relieved of him, of course he had no way to complain. But he wanted to explore the secret of the messenger and satisfy his curiosity, but now he can't.

Only wait for the messenger to wake up.

Ah Jiuxin said.

The messenger Zheng Yi slept like a baby, and had no intention of waking up at all.

Pickups are made to various landmarks. Some are the legendary "ghost towns", real places outside the law; Some are places of order under laser guns, large and small shelter passages.

There was no direct route map to P203's Vault in Crucible City, but someone in Walltown knew the location and route of the Canned Fort, and Old Wei bought it for a set of full-body plate armor. He didn't tell Zheng Yi about this expense, but Zheng Yi knew that this kind of roadmap would not be cheap.

Ah Jiu drove to the canning fort when it was almost dark. After purchasing ten boxes of canned food, he finally found a guide and was willing to take Ah Jiu to the P203 shelter.

Zheng Yi didn't wake up until it was completely dark and saw the sand cart leading the way in front of him.

It has a very western feel to it.

"Where have we been?" Zheng Yi asked.

Ah Jiu said angrily: "It's almost there." ”

Zheng Yi pulled up the seat, stretched his waist, and said, "This journey is really comfortable." Who's that up front? ”

"The guide I was looking for." Ah Jiu softened his tone: "We just passed the canning fort. ”

Zheng Yi recalled the last time he went to the canning fort with Lao Banzhang, and he actually encountered a truck suspected of sand thieves on the way. Although it hasn't been too long, it feels like a long time has passed since I traveled through three worlds.

The guide took the nearest route, from the canned fort to the P203. About two hours later, Zheng Yi saw the lights ahead of him, like a city.

"It's not P203, I remember there was no city before." P203 in Zheng Yi's memory is a small base hidden under a small mound, with no more than 100 people, where did it come from?

Ah Jiu got out of the car with a shotgun and chatted with the guide. The guide was reluctant to send out the PIN and call the shelter to open the door.

Next to the city, sure enough, a downward passage was revealed, which was undoubtedly a refuge.

The pickup slowly drove into the shelter.

Zheng Yi looked through the window at the newly emerging "city", which turned out to be a settlement surrounded by trucks.

The five-meter-high spotlight stands on the roof of the truck, like a small sun. The truck driver, who is not afraid of the cold, sings and dances in the open space surrounded by the truck in the weather of more than ten degrees below zero, and occasionally the girls scream excitedly.

"It's quite lively." Ah Jiu said.

Zheng Yi didn't answer, he had already seen the old Banzhang and the little Banjia.

The grandfather and grandson stood on the side of the entrance to the passage, their hands in their pockets, wearing the same overalls, and their bodies covered in oil. Judging from their complexions, it seems that they have been doing well recently, and they are not decadent because of the loss of their ancestral sand bikes.

Ah Jiu found a vacant parking space in the parking area and got out of the car empty-handed.

Zheng Yi also jumped off the pickup truck and saw that the shantytown opposite had been turned into a row of container workshops, with clean, bright and high-tech large machines in it. If it weren't for them, Zheng Yi would have thought that all the machine tools in this world would have been miniaturized and miniaturized.

"Hey! Private! Zheng Yi shouted.

Xiao Banjia turned his head and saw Zheng Yi's face full of joy. In his memory, as long as this big brother appeared, there were good things that he couldn't usually eat.

He ran over to Zheng Yi and shouted, "The colonel said you won't come back!" ”

Zheng Yi rushed forward, picked up Xiao Banjia by the waist, and lifted it above his head and spun around.

Lao Banzhang also walked over, his eyes full of joy: "Adu said that you are fine, I am finally relieved." Let's go over and talk. ”

Zheng Yi introduced Ah Jiu to his grandfather and grandson and said, "This is my friend, Ah Jiu." Ah Jiu, let's bring the water, hold the box of canned food, and eat together at night. ”

Ah Jiu knew that Zheng Yi was a generous person - who would take special grade water out and say "drink it casually". He said, "You go first, I'll move." ”

"Let's move together." Lao Banzhang rolled up his sleeves: "I don't drive now, it's all about hard work." ”

Ah Jiu asked the old man to carry the cans. A box of canned food is less than twenty pounds, and there are at least seventeen liters of water in the bucket. Ah Jiu is very careful when he drinks during the day, although people say "drink casually", he can't really be too casual.

Zheng Yi took Xiao Banjia's hand and asked him to lead the way. Xiao Banjia said by the way that he followed Brother Adu to class, learned Chinese, mathematics and physics, and was able to do experiments every day, so happy that his eyebrows fluttered.

Zheng Yi thinks about it, how can such a young child have so many experiments to do? Most of them also work for Du Ruo. Speaking of which, Du Ruo is obviously a very enthusiastic person, but he always lives under a cold skin.

The four of them soon arrived at Du Bin and Du Ruo's new home.

Unlike other shipping containers, this is a real simple house. There are front yards and walls, as well as pyramid-shaped roofs. Through the glass window, Zheng Yi saw Du Bin holding a soup spoon in his mouth and looking out. He hadn't changed, just the bristles on his lips had become darker and thicker.

Xiao Banjia stepped forward and knocked on the door, and it was Du Ruo who opened the door.

Du Ruo was wearing the same work clothes, and he looked out of shape, but he was very clean. When she saw Zheng Yi outside the door, she didn't show the slightest surprise, expectation or resistance, all her emotions were perfectly suppressed under her facial nerves, and she said lightly but politely: "Welcome." ”

Ah Jiu carried the water and said secretly in his heart: Is this really a friend's house?
