Chapter 11: Departure
It had been three hours since Fick had been sucked to death, and it was noon.
In the fortress, Xiaoxue, a gray-haired woman in a white nightdress, was probing her brain, cautiously groping her way forward, with the help of Fike's light brain, although she was frightened along the way, she did not encounter substantial danger.
Crossing the overlapping mountains, under the instructions of the light brain, Xiaoxue came to the fortress motorgarage.
The left and right rows of the garage are lined with a variety of new locomotives that integrate alien technology and human intelligence, and there are even some old cars from the old era. The snow is hidden at the inner door of the garage, which is the entrance to the garage inside the fortress, and through this wide rectangular space, there is a larger exit, and beyond the exit, is the free world. There were many guards patrolling the garage around, looking wary.
If she wanted to leave, and get to other human settlements before dark, it was impossible to walk, she had to get a means of transportation.
Looking at these patrolling guards, Xiaoxue's eyes rolled, and after a while, she took it to heart.
"Hey, those guys over there, get that car off for me!" Xiaoxue strode out of her hiding place, pointed to an old-time off-road motorcycle parked on a round platform, and shouted at the guards. In the information of the light brain, Fike and several other fortress insiders have the right to use this old antique, and it is not much different from the one in Qin Wei in Xiaoxue's memory.
Hearing Xiao Xue's shout, several guards looked sideways and saw that it was a beautiful female human, and their eyes were shining, but Xiao Xue's shout just now made them muttered in their hearts, and they didn't dare to act recklessly. A human-like guard walked over, stood in front of Xiao Xue, and asked, "May I ask this young lady, oh no, this lady." Looking at Xiao Xue's bulging belly, the guard changed his name: "The right to use this car belongs to several adults in the fortress, can you provide the car collection permit that one of them gave you?" ”
"I knew it wasn't that easy." Xiaoxue muttered to herself, but a smile like a flower bloomed on her face, and she said coquettishly to the human-looking guard: "Oh, Brother Bing, it's the one in my family who asked me to help him get it, he was very busy, and he didn't have time to get me that warrant, he said, tell me to show you this, and you will hand over the car to me." After speaking, he took out Fike's light brain and handed it over.
The guard tapped his finger on the light brain, and his expression suddenly became strange.
"Not good!" Looking at the guard's strange expression, Xiao Xue secretly said in her heart, and her palms were cold sweat.
The guard turned, holding Fick's light brain in his right hand, and tapped the one that belonged to him on his left arm (light brain), and with a click, the round platform where the motorcycle was parked slowly lowered.
"This car is yours from now until the end of your use, beautiful lady." After saying that, he returned Fike's light brain to Xiaoxue.
When Xiaoxue heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and stepped forward to turn over and ride on this old antique, which was definitely a strong car in the old era. He patted the fuel tank of the car with his right hand and asked the guard, "Is this guy okay?" Is the oil full? ”
"The main function of this car is to play and it is carefully cared for every day in the garage. It's too old and nowhere near as good as it used to be, but it's still usable. The fuel has already been filled, please rest assured. "Guarding the Positive Color.
Xiaoxue nodded with satisfaction, and put Fike's light brain on his left arm, although he hadn't touched the car for a long time, Xiaoxue was still proficient, stepped on the accelerator, and walked towards the garage door with the roar of the car's motor, leaving only billowing black smoke.
The guard watched Xiaoxue leave, shook his head, and muttered: "Researcher Fick is really an out-and-out old pervert, he even handed over his light brain to this woman, it seems that he has made a lot of money this time." But where did that old thing get such a superb little girl? I'm greedy to see it! With that, he continued to return to his post.
The dim light diffracted through the vicissitudes of the city, and Xiaoxue drove a roaring motorcycle through the broken walls and hive buildings, and along the way, she could see sparse mutated creatures and mutated humans chasing and foraging, and occasionally a flying machine flew by high above her.
She had no direction, she could only follow a dilapidated road that existed in the old times, hoping to have a shelter ahead, feeling the ubiquitous desolation, an indescribable cold feeling swam up her back, Xiaoxue subconsciously stepped on the accelerator, increased her speed, and drove into the distance.
Far from the city where the tower is located, there is a human settlement, so that when the wind blows, you can hear the whining sound from the mountains, and the people who live here call it Wailing Wind Town.
The town is not big, built on the mountain, and it is only a few miles away. Everyone's living energy comes from biological generator sets, which are similar to those of Fish Port, as long as it is a biological corpse or plant branches and leaves, it can be used as fuel.
The people here are not the same as the people who live in the Fish Harbor Shelter, they do not have a shelter like the Fish Harbor Shelter, and they do not have a source of radioactive food and clean water, so they live in great hardship. They tend to have mutated tissues, but they are still among the humans as a whole, and only a very small number of them are like the Fishport humans. Although there are no such conditions, and there are no swarms of mutated creatures like the fish harbor, the nights here are much safer.
There is a bar in the center of the town, called the House That Never Sleeps, which is open to everyone day and night, and it is a place of pleasure for all the inhabitants of the town, as well as for the wilderness girls who rely on themselves for their own needs.
It's evening, and the bar is brightly lit, full of men and women, and old audio equipment rings old records, with a strong wilderness character. A shirtless, fat man was staggering to the bar, a large lump of irregular mutated tissue hanging from his neck, swaying from side to side, and sitting on a chair in front of the bar, making the chair rattle.
"Have a glass of bitter ale, remember to fill it up, and don't show me that there is a deep empty space in the cup!" The fat man grinned and showed his yellow teeth, and as he spoke, he reached into his wide trouser pocket and groped for it, and after rummaging for a while, he raised his hand and put down more than ten rifle bullets on the bar, and said, "This is today's wine money!" ”
The seller was an obese woman of nearly fifty years old, with black hair tied behind her head, a wide head, big eyes and a big mouth, and lion nostrils. She glanced at what the fat man put down, counted it carefully, and said dissatisfiedly to the fat man: "It's only 13 rounds, I want to change a whole cup of bitter ale wine, are you eating too much pork from those mutant wild boars, and the mutant tissue has grown into the brain?" ”
When the fat man heard this, his heart suddenly became angry, but the mean woman in front of him was the mayor's wife, he could only hold back the anger in his heart, and said to the woman in a calm tone: "Mrs. mayor, you can be accommodating first, let me enjoy it first, and I will definitely make up for the difference in price that I lack today." ”
"Hmph, then you have to be careful in the future, don't die in the hole while mining, so that you don't have anywhere to ask for the wine money you owe to the old lady! Next time remember a little bit, a glass of bitter ale, 19 rifle rounds! After speaking, he slapped the transparent wine glass in his hand in front of the fat man, which contained a cloudy liquid.
The liquid was not full, and a piece of transparent glass looked extra glaring in the fat man's eyes.
"Humph! This ugly woman! How could Mayor Fernanke marry such a wife! The fat man snorted coldly, shook his head, and the mutated tissue on his neck shook with it, and after speaking, he picked up his wine glass and turned around to find a seat, and then it was the most precious time to taste wine.
The fat woman neatly put the rifle bullets given by the fat man into a large wooden box under the bar, and sighed, "Hey...... Recently, there have been more and more accidents in the mines, which have seriously affected the output of everyone's mining, resulting in a lot of income from our bar. ”
Xiaoxue rode all the way, passing through the ruins of cities, small towns, and huge nuclear bomb craters, moving aimlessly, and the child in her womb needed a lot of energy, making the expectant mother's hunger come dozens of times faster than before.
She had to replenish water and energy as soon as possible.
The darkness is approaching step by step, and for the darkness, now De Xiaoxue has a deep fear, because in the dark night, she has lost too much.
Moving on, a small town built on the mountain not far away came into view with a little light, Xiaoxue's eyes showed surprise, and her toes stepped on the accelerator again.
