Chapter 73: The Mystery of the Oasis
The afternoon sun was like a flame scorching the earth, the temperature was as high as 46.1 degrees Celsius, Zhang Youhai and several people riding motorcycles had to take off their clothes and put them on their heads to prevent direct exposure to the sun.
It's very rare for this latitude to heat up like this.
And it hasn't rained for more than a month, and the water level has dropped to the bottom of the river where you can see some shallows of the Yuxi River. If it weren't for the fact that the human population had plummeted to just a few hundred people, I don't know how many people would have died from drought. Now these hundreds of people can barely survive on the remaining water.
Fortunately, the survivors still have one last place to get water - Chaohu Lake.
As one of the five major freshwater lakes, Chaohu Lake is still sparkling, but the danger of Chaohu Lake is far worse than that of the Dagu Reservoir.
It is said that at the beginning of the dragon slaying group, it was to see a divine dragon churning in Chaohu Lake, Zhang Tianshen was hot-headed for a while, and he was inspired to go to the dragon slayer, so he named it the dragon slaying group. It's a pity that before he could evolve to the height of slaying dragons, he died in the ruins south of the city......
It only takes 10 minutes to drive along Peony Road to the south of the city.
The roads in the south of the city have been cleared, which can increase the speed of the car, and the speed of the King Kong that has been suppressed for a long time can finally be lifted up and enjoy the thrill of Mercedes.
The hot steam distorted the world in front of you.
A monster chariot, two motorcycles welded with iron frames, marched along the concrete road. It feels like Mad Max is making a movie.
Not much.
Shen Cong saw a row of tall houses made of rock and steel at the end of the road, and there were people patrolling at the door, which was Wang Gen's base camp.
Since he came to make a deal, Shen Cong didn't hide it.
Press and hold the horn.
The shrill whistle added to the boredom of the whole hot afternoon. Naturally, the patrolling people heard the sharp whistle and immediately looked at it with alarm.
On the hazy road, a steel thorn monster with a width of more than four meters and five slowed down.
On either side are two motorcycles.
Compared with the motorcycle and the monster, I was even more shocked by the enormity and domineering of the King Kong.
"Beep!"
"Beep!"
The patrolman quickly blew the whistle and nervously hid behind the wall cover. Then a group of people rushed out of the stone and steel house, led by two people, one with four fangs protruding, and one with sharp fingers on both hands, obviously Tao Daqian and Dahaizi. He was followed by several people, all holding guns.
On the back seat of Zhang Youhai's motorcycle, it was Wan Quan, Wan Quan had been here a few times, and hurriedly got out of the car and shouted: "Accountant Tao, Brother Dahai, it's me, Wan Quan, I only came to Old Man Wang last night...... This is our Boss Huang's car, and Boss Huang is here to trade diesel with Brother Wang. ”
Seeing that it was someone he knew, Dahaizi motioned to the person behind him to put down the gun, and he walked over: "Okay, your Boss Huang's car is domineering enough, this doesn't look like it was modified by the cataclysm, I'm afraid it was modified before the cataclysm, right......?" What about you Boss Huang, why don't you get out of the car? ”
Zhang Youhai laughed, took out a pack of cigarettes given to him by Shen Cong, took them out and distributed them: "Hello Brother Dahai, smoke and smoke, our Boss Huang doesn't like interpersonal communication very much, and when it comes to buying diesel, he asks me to make the decision on my behalf." ”
"You Boss Huang are also iron men?" Dahaizi took the cigarette, sniffed it, and then put it in his mouth.
"This, it must be an evolutionary, the boss didn't say whether he was a mutant or an iron man, our boss has a more stable personality, he doesn't like to mix with mundane things, this time he also plans to buy diesel and leave, he is in a hurry to go to the main city."
As he was talking, Wang Gen also came out.
Wang Gen is a middle-aged man, and he actually wants to go with Shen Cong and wear a set of iron armor, but his skills are much worse than Shen Cong's, just using steel wires to connect several iron plates together, which is not like a battle armor at all.
The moment Wang Gen walked out, Shen Cong had already seen the other party in the cab of the King Kong.
Wang Gen naturally also saw the King Kong, and his affectionate and vague shock was noticed by Shen Cong, who was carefully observing him. In an instant, the brain made up, and the other party felt the desire to devour, just like when Shen Cong saw the motorcycle, he also had the desire to devour.
This is a reaction to the same liquid activity.
Therefore, after seeing Wang Gen's expression, Shen Cong immediately increased the probability of turning his face from 50% to 90% in his heart, and was ready for the other party's surprise attack at any time.
"Boss Huang, you are also an iron man." Wang Gen walked over to the King Kong and reached out to grasp a steel thorn.
In an instant, Shen Cong sensed the other party's activity from the King Kong.
Maybe because they are both liquid active, Shen Cong immediately found the frequency and continuity of the other party, and then after comparison, he came to the conclusion that made his brows furrow, the other party's level is pseudo Lv0.541, which is a very high level, probably the liquid activity is easy to draw from the air, which gives the iron man the possibility of rapid upgrade.
However, compared to Shen Cong's Lv0.955, there is still a distance.
……
After learning that both parties were iron men, the atmosphere became a little delicate, and Wang Gen wanted to exchange evolution experiences with Shen Cong.
Shen Cong proposed to trade diesel first, and then talk about exchanges.
After a stalemate, Wang Gen agreed to Shen Cong's proposal to trade diesel. Wang Gen is not short of tobacco and alcohol here, but there is a shortage of food, Shen Cong can exchange food, but the price is more expensive. In the end, at the cost of two large bags of flour, twenty bottles of canned food, and ten packets of compressed biscuits, 800 liters of diesel fuel were exchanged.
In total, the King Kong has a total of 1280L of diesel, and there is still a gap of 600L of diesel to be fully loaded.
In addition, there is 500L of gasoline.
Wang Gen still has diesel, but he has to use it himself, so he doesn't want to continue to sell it, 800L is the limit. With the deal of diesel, Shen Cong agreed to Wang Gen's proposal to exchange experiences, and let Wang Gen, who had taken off his "active armor", go to the last compartment of the King Kong.
At the same time, Shen Cong also saw Wang Gen's vehicle, a Humvee with a bucket.
The body was probably for his men, and it was an iron box wrapped in iron sheets.
Seeing this Humvee, Shen Cong's heart was immediately filled with the urge to devour, and the King Kong was eager to devour the Humvee.
"Boss Huang has feelings, right?" After Wang Gen got in the car, the first sentence was like this.
Shen Cong was wearing an explosive battle armor, very domineering: "What do you mean?" ”
Wang Gen smiled unexpectedly: "Devouring, eating, this is the feeling." I once met with Captain Liu of the fire brigade, he is also an iron man, driving a fire truck, his fire truck and my Humvee, and this modified car of yours, are all of the same type, I said, you understand. ”
Shen Cong narrowed his eyes and said in a very routine manner: "Why do you feel this way?" ”
"I don't know, it's unique to the iron man, I wasn't sure before, but after meeting your car, I was convinced of it. To be honest, I still don't understand how we humans can be hooked up to a car. The last time I let Dahaizi drive, I crashed badly, and I ended up lying in bed for a week. ”
Then, Wang Gen sighed: "To understand this, I'm afraid that only by going to the oasis can you get the result." ”
Shen Cong raised his eyebrows: "Oasis? ”
