Chapter 57: The White Widow
White Widow?
Tang Yan had heard of the black widow and knew that it was a poisonous spider------ the black widow in the current wasteland world was mutated due to radiation, and its hand-to-hand combat ability may not be as good as deathclaw, but when it comes to toxicity, it is higher than that of radscorpion.
He didn't waste much time thinking about Black Widow because there was a continuous honking of horns from the other side.
The road to Gem City is not smooth, and the conditions are even worse after the rain.
Because the road in front is slightly sloping, there is a lot of water in the left area, and I don't know how deep it is.
There is only a visible section of road with a car width between the long waterlogged area and the guardrail on the right, and the modified pickup truck where Tang Yan and the others are located has already entered this section of the road, and if it has the right of way according to the traffic rules before the nuclear war.
However, this is the post-nuclear era, and the right of way on the road is controlled by the big fist.
The vehicle marked by the White Widow did not drive in the waterlogged area, occupying a lane opposite the pickup truck where Tang Yan and the others were.
Three guns and one foot of the brake stepped on, ready to reverse to avoid.
At this time, Tang Yan asked a question.
The person who answered this question was General Wang.
"The White Widow is a woman who owns a fleet of transports and is very powerful in Gem City, monopolizing most of the transport business in the surrounding area."
"Why is she so big and strong? Well, let's start with her name. ”
Tang Yan said in a deep voice: "Talk about the key points. ”
General Wang's words to his throat were choked back by him.
"It is said that the White Widow has a leg with Merlin, the leader of the Black Hand Mercenary Regiment."
Tang Yan nodded to show that he understood.
The Black Hand Mercenary Regiment is the strongest mercenary group in the Gem City area, and even the Governor has to give Merlin three points in case of trouble, if the White Widow is really that person's mistress, it is reasonable to be able to dominate the transportation business in the area around Gem City.
"Don't stop, drive forward." He commanded with a gloomy face.
The third cannon was stunned for a moment, glanced at Zang Feng in the rearview mirror, and saw that the corps commander did not have any change in expression, gritted his teeth and stepped on the accelerator, and continued to drive forward.
When a vehicle like the Panda Man Legion enters the city, it will stuff a sheathed dagger into the windshield wiper in front of it to represent the identity of Zang Feng, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
The drivers under White Widow are all old fritters who live in Gem City, and it is impossible not to recognize the origin of the modified pickup truck ahead, but no matter how famous the Panda Man Legion is in the northern region, when you come to the Gem City area, it is the dragon that has to coil and the tiger that has to lie down.
This domineering comes from the superiority of the residents of Gem City to outsiders, as well as the strength of the Black Hand Mercenary Group.
After all, Gem City is harmless without the Pandaren Legion, and the Pandaren Legion may not even be able to make a living without Gem City.
The driver of the truck did not expect that the modified pickup truck would dare to steal the road with him.
White Widow is notoriously strong, and unless there are special circumstances, basically no one dares to offend her and her men.
Because who passed this matter first and who came later, the group of hillbillies in the Panda People Legion dared to fight against the White Widow, and who gave them leopard gall?
The truck driver looks at the man in the driver's seat of the modified pickup truck with a fierce face, and then discovers a new situation.
The man sitting in the passenger seat pulled down the right window, leaned half of his body out of the window, and looked at him.
The man stretched out his hand, and there was a gun in his hand, and the body of the gun emitted rows of green fluorescence under the rain curtain, which looked very sci-fi.
"What is he going to do? What is that bastard going to do?! ”
Boom!
The gun rang out, and a tongue of fire emanated from the muzzle.
The truck driver bowed his head in fright and slammed on the brakes.
At the same time, a dazzling spark erupted from the outer armor of the right front tire of the truck, followed by a bang, and the body deviated to the right, plunged into the waterlogged area next to it, and fell to the ground on its side.
As the driver came back to his senses after a series of bumps and concussions, panting and looking to his side, the modified pickup truck of the Pandaren Legion passed by him, and the man in the driver's seat said a word to him.
Because of the obstruction of the glass and the rain curtain, it doesn't really sound real, but judging from the shape of the mouth, it should be greeting his Lingtang.
"What did those people do! What did they do! ”
Like the truck driver, the scavenger merchant who followed him witnessed the thrill of the man in black armor poking out of the window and overturning White Widow's van with a single shot.
Not to mention how bold the shooter was, he dared to provoke the vicious woman known throughout the city, what was the origin of that gun, which was able to penetrate the truck's armor very accurately, burst the right tire, and cause it to tumble into the waterlogged area.
Because the living environment of the wasteland is very bad, living corpses are prevalent, fierce beasts are everywhere, and there are bandits who loot and rob everywhere, and the vehicles walking on the road are basically modified to a certain extent.
However, the man used a pistol to pierce the truck's tire armor, how could it not be shocking.
Tang Yan didn't care what the truck driver and the scavenger merchant were thinking, so he determined that the 24-point reward value had arrived, and set his eyes on the load of the truck.
It was an automatic sentry cannon, which looked like it had been pulled out of Gem City, and it was unknown where it was going to be transported.
"Well done."
General Wang tried to endure it, but he couldn't.
He is the cook of the Pandaren Legion, and often travels back and forth between Gem City and the rolling mill to buy food, spices, cooking utensils and other materials necessary for daily life, so he knows very well how arrogant and domineering the people of White Widow are.
Even a military organization like the Panda Man Legion was bullied by that group of people, after all, the other party was leaning on the big tree of the Black Hand Mercenary Group behind them, and if they upset Merlin, their situation would be very difficult.
"Hmm...... Do you know why everyone calls that woman White Widow? ”
"Let me tell you, that woman has had three husbands, the first one being the driver of the logistics department of the Jewel City Guard. The second is the middle manager of the Xinghui Ranch, and the third is a well-known arms dealer in the bazaar. ”
"It's a pity that all three husbands died, but the White Widow's wealth and status are rising, and she has gradually become the first sister of Gem City, monopolizing the transportation business in the nearby area."
So the residents of Gem City defined her nickname based on the survival characteristics of a venomous spider.
Tang Yan remembered the biological habit of the Kou spider spider to eat the male spider after mating to increase nutrition, and couldn't help nodding slightly, thinking that it was not too much for people outside to give her such a nickname from a factual point of view.
He thought about it, no.
"According to your story, her nickname should be Black Widow, why White Widow?"
General Wang in the rearview mirror was laughing, smiling evilly.
The three guns in the driver's seat were also laughing, looking playful.
