Chapter 15: Damn the Broken Car
Lu Qiang said that there was an exit ahead, but the last part of the road was very difficult to walk. All three of them supported each other and climbed to the last part of the road. "Huayuan, we've arrived." Lu Qiang said: "This is the last door, which is the exit." Lu Qiang said excitedly in front of him, and he could hear joy in his voice. The key in Lu Qiang's hand opened the last exit, the door opened, and the breeze blew lightly across Hua Yuan's face, and the fresh air instantly penetrated. The three of them could finally take a deep breath of the fresh air, and the scene in front of them was no longer a noisy city but a barren wilderness, overgrown with weeds, like a primitive wilderness. There are also ruined buildings in the weeds, quiet and quiet, and the whole scene is a bit like a ghost town.
The outlet is discreetly designed at the mouth of a damaged drainage well. Hua Yuan looked around, there were no roads to pass, and there were no signs that could provide guidance. Hua Yuan just followed at the end, stepping on the footprints left by Lu Shuang in front of him
Move slowly.
Under the illumination of the not-so-bright moonlight, Hua Yuan could vaguely see Lu Qiang at the front using a dagger to open the way. Even if some of the tall weeds were cut down, the road ahead was still difficult. Hua Yuan also struggled to move forward behind him, he never thought that there would be such a barren area within the empire.
Lu Qiang led the way, and the three of them walked to the mouth of a deep well, and the three of them slid directly from the iron ladder to the bottom of the deep well. This is a wellhead, the bottom is very deep, damp and foul smell come to the face, choking Hua Yuan is a little nauseous and almost vomits, and he swallows the food that is about to come out of his stomach. This harsh environment is not suitable for breath holding and inhaling, Hua Yuan can only cover his mouth and nose with clothes, but the stench still comes in through the cracks in his clothes.
Hua Yuan looked at Lu Shuang and Lu Qiang and didn't react as much as himself, they still talked and chatted very easily, and Lu Shuang and Lu Qiang simply covered their mouths and noses.
"One more floor." Lu Shuang said very easily. Lu Qiang was the first to go in, and Lu Shuang helped Hua Yuan to follow in. Lu Shuang smiled and said, "No way, this place is clean and no one else disturbs, and if you hide something for many years, you won't be discovered by others." This was originally part of the Blue Zone, fifty years ago it was the most prosperous place, but it was destroyed by the war, and the main human force found that this was another breakthrough, so they rushed here with heavy troops, but they didn't expect to really come in from this position. This area suddenly became the main battlefield, and the two sides repeatedly fought for it here. Humans and robots have died countless times, and humans have two or three hundred thousand lives. No one wanted to come to this sad place after the war, and it was later abandoned. So we took advantage of the place and hid the car here for the convenience of walking. ”
"There's another way of saying it." Lu Qiang added: "Human beings are too superstitious, and the places of the dead are too obscure, yin and heavy, and there are too many ghosts and ghosts of remorse. The empire is because of a mistake that cannot be mentioned here, because it was here that it was broken through, straight to the core area, that there will be a series of routs later. Just out of sight and out of mind, just give up the development here. It is also because of this war that the Empire has re-examined its view of humanity. Because it was supposed to be possible to defeat all mankind, but I didn't expect it to fail in the end, and now signing all the treaties and bills is very restrictive to the development of the empire. ”
Lu Qiang asked Hua Yuan to wait here, and Hua Yuan watched Lu Qiang search in this well. It didn't take long for Lu Qiang to say hello and let Lu Shuang come over, and the two of them went over to pack up their disguises, revealing a car below. Lu Qiang cautiously got into the car, and Lu Shuang said, "Please, Mr. Huayuan." Hua Yuan also got into the car buried under the garbage with Lu Shuang. I don't know how many years this car has been in place, the exterior is in tatters, and the interior is not much better than the outside. Only one thing is acceptable, the car is very well sealed, and the stench on the outside is so bad that it does not penetrate. Huayuan asked, "How long will it take for us to arrive?" ”
"It's not far away, it's only about twenty minutes." Lu Qiang: "It's not far from here, it's safe to get here." This is the vacuum zone, and the Empire has never actually managed it. ”
Lu Qiang started the car and tried several times without success. While starting the car, he asked Lu Shuang to go out to see what the cause of the car was, and check if there were any mechanical problems. Lu Qiang cursed while starting: "Start quickly, start quickly, you broken car." Lu Qiang slapped the steering wheel with his hand, and the broken car engine still showed no signs of starting. Lu Qiang poked his head out and asked, "What is the reason?" "Hey!" Lu Shuang sighed and closed the front cover directly. Lu Shuang made a very helpless expression: "There is no big reason, this car has been here for a few years, and many parts are damp, but there is a small problem, and the engine doesn't know how to steal that bastard."
"It's still a minor problem." Lu Qiang also climbed out of the car and said, "I'll go find another car, you two be careful." Hua Yuan and Lu Shuang could only wait anxiously, Hua Yuan looked at Lu Shuang and was fine, just had free time, Hua Yuan took a break, and Lu Shuang disassembled the available equipment by himself, hoping to keep it for other use.
After waiting for a long time, the sound of vehicles came from the underground pipes. Lu Shuang made preparations for battle, and in the distance, he saw a broken car driving slowly and bumpingly. Seeing that it was Lu Qiang and the two of them who put their minds at ease, or whether Lu Qiang was able to find the car, and it was not easy to drive, the car slowly drove to Lu Shuang, and Lu Qiang scolded a few words in the street and said: "Damn, people have cleaned up here many times, and some things have been burned directly, but fortunately, there is one that can be used to deal with." Are you looking at the backup power that still works? Spell these two cars together. ”
Lu Qiang said impatiently: "Give!" These parts can still be used, just removed to see if you can fit this car. Lu Shuang slowly opened the front car cover. Lu Qiang urged impatiently: "You hurry up." Lu Shuang: "I'll tear it down if I can use it, the broken car you are looking for is basically the same as the first one, I have to sort out the line." Give me 10 minutes, or 20 minutes. This line is too messy, and people like us are worried about broken cars, and I admire it too." Lu Shuang closed the front car cover and patted the car hard. Lu Shuang: "Start it, see if it works, I've done my best."
Lu Qiang turned on the main power supply, lit up, and then the auxiliary power system started. "Hey! Well done, get in the car. Lu Qiang greeted Lu Shuang. The main engine of the car started, and it walked slowly down this rough sewer line. Huayuan felt that the speed of the car was not going fast, and the only advantage was that the air in the car was not very smelly.
Lu adjusted the audio equipment in the car with both hands, and all the sounds were rustling, and there was no good effect after adjusting it for a long time. Lu Qiang looked upset: "You have nothing to do and sit down, I look upset." Lu Shuang explained: "I want to see if there is any news from the outside world." ”
"Lu Shuang?" Lu Qiang asked in front: "How long can the power supply of this car run?" Lu Shuang replied, "It's almost there!" I can't estimate this right now!" Lu Shuang bored and climbed back from the front seat to the back seat with Hua Yuan. "It's not safe here, it seems that more new guests have been added to this waterway, and we usually have to add some more hiding points," Lu said. When I went to the front, I saw traces of firefighting. ”
Lu Qiang's technique is very good, and this broken car is very difficult to drive in the sewer well. When the car was moving, he could only rely on Lu Qiang's own memories to grope forward. The three of them were swaying in the car like potatoes in a soup pot, dangling without any stability. Hua Yuan noticed a gap in front of him, and the dim moonlight penetrated through the giant gap.
The car finally pulled out of the huge gap next to the well, and the entire gap could be seen in the moonlight, probably caused by the detonation of the aerial bomb. The car slowly drove out of the huge gap, and the speed of the car was reduced to a minimum, and it slowly drove directly down the steep slope. The plants here grow unevenly, as if they have been harvested by weapons many times. The hazy moonlight minimizes visibility, and Lu Qiang won't turn on any lights. "You two hold on for a while, there are still ten minutes before we get on the main road and it will be safe, there is no way to do it here in the vacuum zone." Lu Qiang: "Look at this car, there are many bullet holes, this is no longer a safe place for us." ”
Hua Yuan and Lu Shuang observed the terrain for Lu Qiang on the left and right, and the car had just driven out of the huge steep slope gap less than ten meters away. Lu Shuang suddenly said, "Stop, stop." Lu Shuang immediately made a silent gesture to Hua Yuan, and then pointed his finger in the direction of three o'clock. The dense shrubs and weeds blocked the view, but Lu Qiang didn't care. Lu Shuang whispered to Lu Qiang in front of him: "There is a situation. Lu Shuang pressed Hua Yuan's head down with his hand. Lu Shuang felt that Hua Yuan's position was still not safe enough, so he directly stuffed Hua Yuan to the bottom. Let Hua Yuan lie flat in it as much as possible.
Lu Qiang also stopped the car with only one action, and Lu Qiang quickly turned off all the car equipment that might be found. Because the car was parked on a slope, inertia still made the broken car involuntarily slide off the slope. Lu Qiang was a little nervous, and he was relieved to see that the car stopped at the end, and Lu Qiang also lowered his head. Hua Yuan wanted to see what was going on and was about to probe, but Lu Shuang pressed Hua Yuan's head even lower. Hua Yuan didn't know what was going on, so he was pressed to the bottom of the body by Lu Shuang, and the three of them quietly waited for the unexpected situation that was about to happen. At this time, the sound of insects seemed to be inaudible, making the surroundings unusually quiet, and the three of them could only hear the sound of thumping heartbeats in the car, and their breathing had become as slow and small as possible.
Hua Yuan didn't know why he suddenly wanted to laugh, the three big men were lying in this small car, still motionless, unable to do anything, and the three of them had to keep this posture, as if they were going to do something shady, this feeling was too weird. Hua Yuan now wants to ask this nervous Lu Shuang, what else can we do next.
