Chapter 100: The Green Mirage
The road chosen by Zhang Jianyang is a little farther, but it is better to be safe, if there is no accident, the next step is naturally to reach the Tamu Basin safely.
It's very safe in the wilderness except at night.
During the day, most mutant beasts will actively avoid humans when they see humans, or simply ignore them. It is only when attacked, or when they invade their realm, that they show a violent side, defending their territory by force and driving out all invaders.
Only a very small number of dangerous mutant beasts will take the initiative to attack all the humans they see.
But the night is different, and the mutant beasts that haunt the night all become ferocious and violent in the process of mutation, with a strong sense of attack.
That's why during the day humans dare to appear in the wild, dare to walk from city to city, and at night, they have to find a safe place, or a small city or town inhabited by humans, to spend the night. Over the past hundred years, human settlements have rarely been attacked by mutant beasts at night, often caused by some fierce mutant beasts.
Like Sand City, it is often attacked by individual mutant beasts, and it can always hear bursts of terrible air defense sirens.
The caravan has come to this point, and Zhang Jianyang doesn't need to worry about anything anymore.
It was not until noon that the caravan arrived safely in the Tamu Basin.
When they saw the sign in the Tamu Basin, all the people in the caravan cheered, and some even had tears in their eyes.
How many people folded their wings on the Gobi of Death, and how many chambers of commerce returned again and again in vain, but they failed to reach the Tamu Basin, but now they have done it. With a caravan, successfully set foot in the Tamu Basin, which not only represents wealth, but also represents an honor, a medal in one's life.
The inhabitants of the Tamu Basin kept taking out their usual valuables and chasing caravans in exchange for high-quality rice from the dry lake.
In the Tamu Basin, jade forests, potatoes and some other omnivorous plants are generally cultivated, and a few places can produce rice, but it is impossible for them to eat the inferior inhabitants. Now that a huge caravan has appeared, with thousands of tons of grain, they are clever, of course, when they pass by, they are the first to exchange for some.
With the experience of the last time, Zhang Jianyang did not refuse this kind of transaction, and said: "Hanguang, if you order to go down, just collect some symbolically, after all, it is not easy for them to live." ”
Wang Hanguang is also a hot-blooded man, nodding, he asked one of the trucks to leave the team, called for some brothers to help, carried bags of rice, and exchanged rice for these residents. With Zhang Jianyang's words, of course, Wang Hanguang charged a little more symbolically, and sometimes when he saw difficulties, even if the other party just took a few strange-shaped shells in exchange, Wang Hanguang did not refuse.
It can be said that Zhang Jianyang's move, thirty or forty tons of grain in a large truck, is equivalent to giving away for nothing.
Luo Mianhong and the others saw that the Ning Chamber of Commerce was so arrogant, and they all shook their heads: "It's too loser, after all the hardships of life and death, but half selling and half giving away such precious grain, tsk, this hand!" ”
It is naturally impossible for people from other chambers of commerce to do this kind of thing, and if they successfully get here, grain is the same as gold, and every grain is money.
Perhaps they will never understand what kind of impression this move of the Ning Chamber of Commerce left on the locals, and the four words of the Ning Chamber of Commerce were successfully engraved in the history of the Tamu Basin at this moment. No matter how powerful the Chamber of Commerce developed here in the years to come, no Chamber of Commerce could surpass the position of the Ning Chamber of Commerce in the Tamu Basin.
When the caravan appeared in Salt Lake City, it caused a sensation again.
Not to mention that Zhang Zhikun led a larger greeting team, even other citizens also rushed over and crowded the streets through which the caravan passed.
After the caravan settled down, Zhang Jianyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Leading such a large caravan, spanning more than 400 kilometers, it would be a lie to say that it was not difficult.
After leaving the city, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents. Such a large target is the easiest to attract some flying mutant beasts, and in the eyes of many ferocious high-level mutant beasts, humans are a kind of food for them, and as long as they encounter it, they will attack directly. Unlike in the city, there is an air defense system, so these mutant beasts will not easily attack the city.
Now that we have finally arrived at Salt Lake, the central city of the Tamu Basin, it is safe.
Chen Zhuangping was the most familiar with the movements of the caravan, and as soon as the caravan arrived in Salt Lake City, Zhang Jianyang delegated all power to him.
In fact, the delivery of the caravan, etc., as well as the price of grain, the share of refined salt, etc., have long been signed in advance, and it is enough to do things according to the contract. Chen Zhuangping's ability can naturally cope with this.
As for the other caravans, what they can negotiate with the local political axe is not what Zhang Jianyang has to care about.
Zhang Jianyang's surname is a little unprofitable, every time he goes out, there will always be another purpose for him, and this time is no exception.
After settling the caravan, Zhang Jianyang exchanged Wang Hanguang for an off-road motorcycle in the caravan.
"Team Zhang, want to go out?" Wang Hanguang took out a cigarette and gave it to Zhang Jianyang.
Lighting the cigarette, Zhang Jianyang said: "Go out for a walk, this Tamu Basin is full of treasures, in case it really happens, this trip is not wronged." ”
Wang Hanguang believed that it was true: "Team Zhang, what you said is true?" ”
There is no way, Zhang Jianyang's status in Wang Hanguang's heart, talk about the trend of surpassing Chen Zhuangping, what Zhang Jianyang says, Wang Hanguang will really believe it.
"Lie to you, if you really have a treasure, aren't the people here developed early? Hanguang, restrain your subordinates well, and you will find Wei Jiabao and Su Xiaogang for a while, just say what I said, let them all restrain my subordinates for me, in case something happens, don't blame me for being unkind. Zhang Jianyang commanded, this is to carry an oil tank on the back of the motorcycle, and to put his backpack on the heavy sniper belt picked up on the Gobi of Death.
……………… In Zhang Jianyang's eyes, it is true that this world is full of treasures.
As early as when he was in Shacheng, Zhang Jianyang had a plan, and if he wanted to constantly climb to a higher level of star power, there were too many things to prepare.
Don't think that the promotion of three stars to four stars is just two fourth-order nuclear crystals, but this promotion method is the same as the virtual machine in the computer, named four stars, but in fact, the star power in the body is far from meeting the requirements of four stars, that is, there is a Mercedes-Benz car shell, but the engine and gearbox inside are domestic, which is just to scare people.
Why are the strong people in the world all promoting little by little, constantly consolidating their star power and cultivating hard?
Just like in the Death Gobi, after Zhang Jianyang killed more than a dozen star warriors in a row, the star power in his body had already been almost consumed. If Yang Weihong at that time was not afraid of Zhang Jianyang's murderous aura and the same momentum as a peerless powerhouse and fled, but gave Zhang Jianyang a go, Zhang Jianyang, who had already reached the end of the oil lamp, was afraid that he would be more than lucky, so he could only flee in panic.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Jianyang must use another way to supplement and enrich this imaginary part.
The powerhouses in this world are not just one person, they will also know some shortcuts, but they will not choose to go, but cultivate in a down-to-earth manner.
But Zhang Jianyang has no choice, according to this down-to-earth cultivation method, even if Zhang Jianyang has experience, he will not want to return to the supreme peak in the illusion world for decades.
……………… The surname of off-road motorcycle is indeed outstanding, although the driving on the road is not as stable as the motorcycle of other sports models, but the off-road ability that cannot be ignored is its way of survival.
Zhang Jianyang's target was not in the Tamu Basin, but in the territory of the poisonous lizard, which was thirty kilometers away from the edge of the Tamu Basin.
Poisonous Lizard, a sixth-order mutant beast, is at the top of the middle mutant beasts.
But those who know about poisonous lizards will really understand the power of poisonous lizards, and many strong people would rather mess with seventh-order mutant beasts than trouble these sixth-order poisonous lizards. Not to mention the poisonous lizards themselves, the area they live in alone is enough to make people stop and be daunted.
After leaving the Tamu Basin and arriving here, the time was only two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was the hottest, and it was also the hottest time in the desert.
The sound of the motocross motorcycle's engine is very loud, and in this empty and silent desert, it is enough to break all the silence here.
The highway that runs through the entire territory of the poisonous lizard has not been set foot on for hundreds of years, and it has been constantly weathered under the washing of the wind, frost and sun, and the upper layer has been corroded by the years, and potholes have appeared. In some sections, there are traces of the mutant beasts fighting, and the fierce battle has destroyed the entire section of the road, revealing large pits.
Even halfway through, the entire road was moved under the dunes and buried under the grains of sand.
In the desert, there are also some plants growing, such as cacti, etc., which can be seen from time to time.
Thirty kilometers, just half an hour, is close.
Zhang Jianyang parked the motorcycle, found the back of a small sand dune, and parked the motorcycle.
In the past, it will be the territory of the poisonous lizard, and the sound of the motorcycle will cause endless trouble for Zhang Jianyang.
After putting the motorcycle away, Zhang Jianyang climbed onto a large sand dune, and looked at the past, under the sun, there were endless undulating sand dunes of all sizes, without a trace of life. In the extreme distance of these undulating sand dunes, a magical scene appears at the junction of heaven and earth. A green mirage like a mirage appeared across the dunes.
An endless pale green mist enveloped a huge area like a giant light mask.
This green mist cover, which spans more than 100 kilometers, is where the poisonous lizard lives, and the people and other mutant beasts who enter it are almost gone, and its horror is far above the dead Gobi sand ant beast.
