Chapter 31 The Road Race is about to begin
In the middle of the night, the raw meat town is as bright as day, bustling with people, full of noisy and restless atmosphere.
The Organizing Committee of the Carnival of the End of the Road was stationed strongly, and the security personnel of the Organizing Committee wearing uniform drove armored vehicles to surround the entire town.
Starting tonight, Raw Meat Town will enforce a ban on entry and exit until the official start of the tournament tomorrow night.
Zheng Nannan and his party returned to Raw Meat Town, looking at the crowds around them, and suddenly had a feeling of being in a different world.
In fact, they only stayed in the Dome Fishing Ground for one day and one night, and considering the time difference caused by the chaos of the timeline, they rushed to the fishing ground almost non-stop, and then rushed back after the stars and the moon.
Therefore, when the owner of the bus hotel saw Zheng Nannan, he was surprised for a long time.
……
"It's a good feeling to be back in the world." Breaking free from Hong Xiangcai's control, leaving the chaotic time and space of the Dome Fishery, Hu forced the whole person to resurrect with full blood, restored the demeanor of the Wild Dead Redemption, and after a full meal in the Deep Well Restaurant, a pair of eyes began to roll on the women who came and went.
"I remember on our way here, you asked me to keep a low profile in Raw Meat Town." Zheng Nannan knew that this guy was full of warm river crabs, and couldn't help but quip: "The competition will officially start tomorrow, save some energy." ”
Hu forced laughed, and the ape Taishan threw a few punches to the strong chest, and said with a smile: "Hu Ye King Kong is not a bad body, I have been choking enough these days, and I have to vent my fire, otherwise it will affect my performance." Saying that, he glanced at Zheng Nannan, and said with a little displeasure: "Besides, it's not up to you, your kid has Tang garlic and Shu onion to warm the bed, but you don't allow Xiao Shaman to accompany me, and his heart can be punished." ”
"I don't have it." Zheng Nannan smiled dumbly, and said helplessly: "I just asked you not to use force, Shaman himself is willing, what does it have to do with me." ”
"Nonsense." Hu forced him to give him a blank look and said, "You only allow state officials to prostitute themselves, and you don't allow ordinary people to crab." You have said this, Xiao Manman must be holding the gold medal for avoiding death. ”
"Maybe you can try to change your style of taking things by force." Zheng Nannan lit a cigarette, wiped the blade of the blade that had not seen blood for a long time, and said slowly: "Look at them like people." ”
Hu Qi snorted and said vaguely: "It seems that Hu Ye has abused them." Haven't I been gentle enough with you boys since I them out? ”
Zheng Nannan stopped what he was doing, looked at him, and said, "Look at them like Hong Xiangcai." ”
Hu Qiang stopped talking.
"I know, you've been in the Lower City for a long time, and you're used to the rules of the jungle here." Zheng Nannan carefully inserted a blade of a handle-bladed hacksaw back into the armed belt, and said slowly: "But there is no need to really become a beast, Shaman, they like you quite a lot now." ”
Hu Qi spat out his cigarette, looked at the night sky and didn't know what he was thinking, was silent for a while, and muttered: "Okay, okay, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, isn't Lao Tzu beating other people's ideas." You kid just take good care of that girl, sooner or later, you will have a problem with your pet, and you are not looking for a wife. ”
"Friends." Zheng Nannan smiled faintly and said, "On the road after that, we are partners." ”
"Buddy,." Hu was happy, took out a crumpled poster from his pocket and threw it to him, and said with a smile: "Didn't you read the rules of the event issued by the organizing committee?" ”
"Oh? And this thing? Tang Garlic didn't tell me. Zheng Nannan looked curious.
"It is clearly written above, the competition is based on cars, one car in a group, and there is only one champion in the end." Hu Qiang spread out the poster and pointed to him, and said meaningfully: "And the event has been upgraded, and there will be dead people at every stop." ”
Zheng Nannan frowned slightly, and looked at the puzzled result poster.
The rules are not complicated, simple and crude, and you can feel the coming bloody storm through the paper.
The Carnival of the End of the Road takes the car as the participating unit, one car in a group, and there is no limit to the number of people.
With Raw Meat Town as the starting point and No. 1 Uptown as the finishing point, there is no fixed route for the race, only many transfer stations for the participating riders to replenish and rest.
The rules are normal so far, no different from ordinary events, and it was not until the next line of text appeared that Zheng Nannan understood the true meaning of the so-called end-of-road carnival.
All participating drivers need to go to the organizing committee to receive the virus injection before the start of the race, and only after the virus injection can they officially participate, and those who refuse to be injected with the virus will be deemed to have automatically waived.
As a driver, the driver follows the constraints of the race and once he has participated, he cannot retire unless he dies.
The onset of the virus is 24 hours, and the rider must arrive at the transit station within 24 hours, inject antivenom at the transit station to suppress the virus attack, and so on until the finish line.
The last three groups of drivers in the daily schedule are eliminated, and the overtime drivers are eliminated.
Drivers who are eliminated and who retire will not be given antivenom.
That's all for the specifics, and there's a slightly comical postscript at the end of the poster.
"Just run ahead of the other three and you'll be alive."
Finally, there's the contest rewards: permanent residency in Uptown and everything you need before you die a natural death.
Zheng Nannan read out the competition reward, and then flipped over the back, and there was nothing behind it.
"What does this reward mean?" Zheng Nannan didn't understand it a little.
Hu said: "Permanent residency." ”
"No, it's the latter sentence 'everything you need before you die naturally', how do you understand it?"
"Probably as long as you can think of it, the organizing committee can meet it, all of it." Hu forced a stunned smile, smacked his lips and said: "I remember that there didn't seem to be the last sentence last year, it seems that in order to attract the competition, the organizing committee has made a lot of money." ”
"What about the virus?" Zheng Nannan pointed to the rules and asked, "Aren't you afraid that the final champion will come out, and people won't give serum?" ”
"Hahaha, it's unfounded." Hu Qiu didn't care about this at all, and said with a smile: "If you do it once, where will anyone participate in the competition in the future?" It really the people of the Lower City and the Wasteland, and slaughtered its Upper Town. ”
"Do you have what it takes?" Zheng Nannan was happy.
Hu Qiang spread his hands and said: "The organizing committee is such a big battle, it is impossible to do such an eyeless thing, the road race is a bloody carnival for the participants, and for those who watch the event, it is a blood-pumping blockbuster show." ”
Zheng Nannan shrugged his shoulders and sighed, "I still don't understand the purpose of holding the event...... In this world, what's the use of ratings. ”
"It's definitely useful, but you and I don't know." Hu Qi hugged Zheng Nannan's shoulders very affectionately, and said indifferently: "It may be that you are going to the roundabout to do something, it is not necessarily, there is a purpose behind the scenes, and we, to put it mildly, are just chess pieces." ”
"Knowing that it is a life of nine deaths, there are so many people who squeeze their heads."
"Wealth and danger are sought, mixed in the lower city and the wasteland, living a day with today and no tomorrow, anyway, it is all a knife licking blood, it is better to give it a go."
Zheng Nannan nodded and said with a smile: "I understand, I suddenly look forward to it." ”
Hu Qi threw away the cigarette butt and stood up, and said, "If you want to understand this stubble, you won't be so entangled, right?" Hahaha, let's go, let's have a drink, after today, life and death have their own destiny. ”
"Huh?" Zheng Nannan was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "What do you mean?" ”
"Haha, your car is too small, and the stuffed girl is full, and you can't stuff Hu Ye."
Zheng Nannan frowned, and hesitated: "You want to compete alone?" ”
"Red Bird is ready-made anyway."
"Let's split into groups, that's two groups of drivers, so even if there are only two of us left in the end, we have to die, what are you doing?"
Hu Qi stared at Zheng Nannan for a long time, shook his head with deep emotion, sat down again, was silent for a while, and said: "We have only known each other for a few days, if you really want to talk about friendship, in fact, there is no friendship, but I do owe you a life." Don't be too busy retorting, you don't know Hong Cilanka, if I hadn't betrayed you at that time, or you didn't know the Hive information, or even if you did, you wouldn't tell her...... That Hong coriander is mad, it's going to kill me. ”
"So don't look at our dome fishery this time, in fact, I picked up a life. Besides, when I was in the fishing grounds, I relied on you to come back alive, otherwise I would have been lost in the hive like Laili's team. ”
"As I said earlier, you are not from Xiacheng, and you retain too much humanity in your temperament, which is good for the people around you, but not necessarily good for yourself."
"As far as the matter is concerned, since we decided to participate, the purpose is to win. There are five people in a car, the speed must be slow, and it also costs fuel. There is no limit to the number of people in the event, this is digging a pit, greed is not a good thing, a car of people and a person, who do you think has a big chance of winning? ”
The more Zheng Nannan listened, the more confused he became, and interrupted: "Don't say as if I can definitely win, maybe I'll die on the first day?" Since the death index of the schedule is so high, there will definitely be a situation of blocking the road and plotting on the way, in this case, of course, it is safer for the two of us to team up, right? ”
"Nonsense, split into two teams, we can still the others together." Hu forced a laugh and quipped: ", don't act like you're sure you'll be able to beat me, maybe you and the three beautiful girls will be scrapped in the end." ”
Zheng Nannan laughed and nodded: "This is also true." ”
"Isn't that the end?" Hu forced to pick at the boogers, flicked his fingers, and the boogers crossed a parabola and stuck to the back of a bald rider passing by.
"So, in groups, you're going to save a little bit of fuel to save a little weight on my car? By the way, I thought that I might die to fulfill me? ”
"Pretty much." Hu Qi admitted calmly, and said indifferently: "Hu Ye never owes favors, if there are really two of us left in the end, then I just want to repay your favor." If we burp halfway, it will be sensational. ”
"Hahaha, okay then." Zheng Nannan nodded when he heard this, shook hands with him, and no longer dwelled on this matter.
Since Hu Qian has made up his mind, it is his own choice and reason, Zheng Nannan will persuade him when he thinks of his friendship, but he will never interfere arbitrarily.
"But then again." Hu forced a smile and teased: "It's not your fault, if you leave that girl behind, won't the two of us be able to form a team, your childlike relationship has hurt Hu Ye." ”
Zheng Nannan knew that he was deliberately joking, so he didn't refute it, and he also admitted that what he said was right.
It's not that children are long, it's just that Zheng Nannan has experienced some things since he was a child, and those people and things have been exposed to him, and the seeds of partners have been planted in his heart since he was a child.
Tang Garlic, Shu Onion, and Shaman have not known him for a long time, and in just a few days, they have experienced the bloody battle of the dead city, the scourge of sandstorms, and the chaos of time and space in the dome fishing ground...... No matter what happened before, at least during the subsequent journey, the three girls have always been by their side, and they have never turned their backs in times of crisis. Especially on the day when the mummy Hong coriander appeared, when there was a huge disparity between the enemy and me, the girl did not defect, but looked like she was protecting him.
This made Zheng Nannan very satisfied.
He didn't have a partner before, so he felt that this was a partner.
