Section 20 Valuable Information
The wind waned, and night fell on the earth. The temperature in the wasteland drops rapidly. In the shaking carriage, the travelers wrapped their tattered clothes tightly and were already drowsy.
Originally, according to the custom, the brigade should find a place to camp at night. It's just that after the day's clashes, the brigade suffered a lot of losses, in order to find parts for repairing vehicles and sell the loot as soon as possible. Captain Vic decided to rush overnight.
No one objected. The travelers all quietly climbed into the carriages, staggering together. Some of the women and children have already slept. But most men don't have this blessing. They must brace themselves in order to deal with the crisis of the night in the wilderness.
The compartment of the Blood Pupil was on the first truck. This truck is the best. So after embodying her worth, Blood Pupil gets a separate compartment like Sarah. It's cold at night in the wilderness, but most vehicles don't turn on the heating to save fuel. The compartment of the blood pupil is as warm as spring. Obviously special treatment.
Lying on the thick mattress, the blood pupils fell asleep. He was a little tired. Although he possessed inhuman strength, the attrition of the battle was also staggering. He felt hungry and sleepy after every battle. This time will be no exception.
As the hero of this conflict, Blood Pupil's dinner was very rich. There were two large bowls of potatoes more than the average traveler, and two large pieces of roast meat and a piece of butter. This is not very common in brigades. The brigade has always been very short of supplies. So even Captain Vic won't eat more than the average person. However, after the day's conflict, no one thought there was anything wrong with the blood pupil eating a little more. In fact, most of them wouldn't have eaten dinner again without the Blood Pupil.
But now the most noticeable thing in the team is not the blood pupils. Rather, it was a few girls who hugged each other and shivered. They are the spoils of a robbery by the Sandworm bandits. A member of another brigade. But now it's here.
But truth be told, the suffering of these girls is not over. Because according to the rules of the wasteland, they are no longer free men, but trophies of the brigade. The brigade has the right to sell them. Even if Old Vic was willing to take them in, he couldn't bear the food pressure that came with containing them. So their fate is still difficult to say. Unless there is a man in the brigade who takes a fancy to them and is willing to bear the pressure of their food.
From this point of view, their status is even inferior to the blood pupils that were picked up at the beginning. At least at that time, the blood pupil was still a free man. And they can't even get there.
………………………………
The wilderness at night is quiet. One could only hear the motor's motor. It's very difficult to be in this environment. Soon most of them were asleep. The blood pupil also gradually fell asleep.
I don't know how long it has been. A cacophony of voices woke the blood pupils. He opened his eyes, only to find that it was not yet dawn. So he got up and walked out of the cubicle.
Outside the cubicle, there was already a crowd of people. Seeing the blood pupils coming out, people immediately moved out of the way. They all saluted the blood pupil respectfully.
"Mr. Bloodpupil."
"Hmm." Blood Pupil nodded. Glancing at the passage to the roof of the car. "Something happened. It's such a mess. ”
"We saw it!" One of the guards replied aloud, his face full of joy. "We see the lights."
"Lights?" The blood pupil was stunned.
"It's the light of the gathering point. We're about to get to the next gathering point. ”
Energy is scarce in the last days, and few people are willing to waste energy. So when you see a large number of lights, it means that you are almost at the gathering point. This is because only the gathering point will have sufficient energy for lighting.
Hearing this, Blood Pupil was also very happy to hear this, and walked up to the roof of the car to take a look.
Sure enough, there was a flickering light on the horizon in the distance. It doesn't look like it's small. According to the speed of the convoy, it will be almost there by noon the next day.
On the way back, Blood Hitomi grabbed a traveler and asked. "Where's Captain Vic?"
"The regimental commander is in the command room." The traveler replied respectfully.
The Blood Pupil let go of him and walked to the command room.
It is said that it is a command room, but it is actually a relatively large compartment. As the Blood Pupil walked in, he saw Old Vic snarling at the young men. The content is nothing more than a matter of arrangement after arriving at the gathering point. Several young people bowed their heads respectfully, each holding a small notebook. Write down all the resources that Old Vic needs to buy. Seeing the blood pupil come in, Old Vic's eyes lit up, and he threw down a few subordinates and walked over directly.
"Mr. Bloodpupil. You're here. I was just about to go to you. ”
"Huh?" The blood pupil was a little surprised. "What's the matter? Captain Vic. ”,
Old Vic smiled heartily and turned his head to shout from outside. "Bring me some coffee. That's right, the bag I treasured with my pillow down. Then he made a gesture of please to the blood pupil.
"Let's go, Mr. Bloodpupil, let's sit down and talk. The night is still long and we need something to refresh ourselves. ”
"............" The blood pupil did not make a sound. But he followed Old Vic to another cubicle. Wait for the coffee to arrive and close the back door. The compartment immediately fell silent.
The compartment is small and the heating is not on. The hot coffee has a strong aroma. It didn't take long for the entire compartment to become warm. The blood pupil sniffed lightly, and suddenly felt refreshed.
His body is extremely absorbent and digestive. Coffee is just a refreshment for the average person, but for him, it can play a dual role in replenishing energy and stimulating nerves. Silently, the blood pupil felt the 'it' in his body wake up. There was a longing for the small teacup on the table.
"Say, Captain Vic. I guess you didn't come to me just for coffee. The blood pupil spoke lightly.
"Huh. Mr. Blood Pupil doesn't need to worry. Let's try the coffee first. It's not a rare thing, and I got this bag three years ago. You're in luck. Old Vic replied with a smile, like an old fox.
The blood pupil was not much suspicious. Calmly drank the coffee down. The fragrant liquid entered the stomach, and I immediately felt a restless throbbing from the 'it' in my body. It seems to be tasting the taste of coffee. After a while, the throbbing turned to a calm.
Blood Pupil put down the empty teacup. "Let's talk about it now."
"Huh. Mr. Bloodpupil's temperament is really anxious. Well, in that case, I'll get straight to the point. Old Vic rubbed his hands. An embarrassed flush flashed across his face.
"Actually, I'm here for that suit."
Blood Pupil smiled slightly. And so it was. He had already guessed that Old Vic was eyeing Karisha's armor. It's just because I'm embarrassed to open my mouth that I endure it all the time. Now I finally can't help it.
Everyone knows that they will arrive at the gathering point tomorrow afternoon. At that time, the armor will most likely be sold by the Blood Pupil. Old Vic never had a chance.
It's just that this armor has another purpose in the heart of the blood pupil. What can be easily handed over?
Looking at Old Vic's wistful gaze. The blood pupil's expression was calm. "Looks like I shouldn't have this cup of coffee."
"Where. Mr. Blood Pupil thought too much. It's just what I asked my husband to drink. It has nothing to do with armor. Besides, Sir saved our lives. Even if we are asked to compensate with the most valuable resources, we should do it. Old Vic accompanied the smiling face. I'm sorry.
"But you want my loot now." Blood Pupil said lightly.
"Hey, hey, hey. The brigade is simply too poor. This, Mr. Bloody Pupil, please don't mind. Old Vic smiled awkwardly, and then suddenly his face turned grim. Speaking of which, I would like to ask Mr. Blood Pupil a word, do you really want to stay on this planet forever? Just mess around? ”
"How?" The blood pupil was a little surprised.
"I can tell that Mr. Bloodpupil is out for the first time, right?" Old Vic said seriously. "If you're just looking to venture out on this planet, then I'm not saying anything today. But if you have other ideas, then my words below are more valuable than armor. ”
"............," the blood pupil groaned.
He was a little tempted. To be able to leave this hellish world is so wonderful for the blood pupil. Although the news was a bit sudden, Blood Pupil felt that perhaps Old Vic's proposal was more interesting than the armor that had already been obtained......
After thinking about it for a while. The blood pupil finally decided. Look at each other. "Yes, but it's not enough."
"Of course. I also have a box of copper ore for you. It's a bonanza. If you're not satisfied, the girls who were rescued today can also be given to you. At the gathering point, they can sell for a lot of money. Old Vic said slowly, and then stared at the blood pupils. There was anticipation in his eyes.
He knew that what he talked about today was a bit excessive. But he really needed armor so much. Now that the blood pupil has already expressed the intention of not wanting to stay in the brigade. Then the armor is the last straw for him to protect this brigade. You have to get it at a great cost. Survival comes first in the last days, and old Vic can't care about his old face anymore.
But fortunately, the blood pupil doesn't care much about these things. After thinking about it for a while, he gave Old Vic an affirmative answer.
"Deal."
