Chapter 250: Exchange and Mutation

"Let's see, we're short of enough fuel right now, and we don't have enough gas for three cars to drive to San Francisco!"

After listening to Marcus and Carl's words, Liu Qi, who has now vaguely become the decision-maker of the entire team, looked up at the slightly familiar ruins of the gas station in front of him, and knew that he had arrived at the place where Carl and the others were arrested in the original book.

However, Liu Qi did not plan to change the plot, so he happily asked Marcus to drive the car to the ruins of the gas station.

In Liu Qi's feelings, in the ruins of the gas station, more than a dozen survivors also began to hide their belongings and things, and began to take out their respective weapons to load and open the safe, and then hide in the hidden ruins of the gas station

Two minutes later, Marcus pulled up in the open space in front of the gas station.

The clone soldier who played the role of the driver in the next two off-road vehicles also immediately parked the off-road vehicle in the open space, and all of them got off the off-road vehicle at the first time, and scattered while raising their guns, guarding against the surrounding movements and situations.

"Is this a Resistance stronghold?"

Marcus looked at the red sign of the Resistance on an inconspicuous signboard outside the gas station, and asked Liu Qi and Carl with some curiosity - mainly to Liu Qi, of course, Carl, the self-proclaimed Los Angeles Resistance Division, was just a joke in Marcus's eyes, far less important and valued than Liu Qi and several clone soldiers.

"I don't know, if it's a Resistance stronghold, we should see that someone will come out."

Liu Qi felt the survivors in the gas station who thought they were hiding and said casually, what he meant was obvious, if it was the Resistance Army, how could he say hello when he saw a human driving over.

"Maybe they've all been destroyed by robots, why don't we go in and find them? Let's see if there's any fuel left!"

Carl looked at the seemingly empty gas station ruins, and he obviously hadn't noticed that less than a hundred meters around the gas station ruins, the apparently cultivated land and some of the crops planted on it.

"Leave three people on guard, let's go in and have a look! Here, take them all, be careful when you go in!"

Liu Qi didn't say that there were already survivors in it, but simply gave an order to the six clones, and then took out two pistols and a few magazines from their bodies and handed them to Marcus and Carl.

"M1911?xiexie, Yuri!"

Unlike Carl, who was excited to fiddle with the pistol after taking it, Marcus took the pistol and the two magazines, looked at the pistol and identified its model, then held the pistol, looked up and said to Liu Qi very gratefully.

He understands that after Judgment Day now, having a gun in his hand means that he can protect himself, at least against those robots and others does not necessarily have the power to fight back - as for relying on cold weapons and traps to deal with the limited performance of the chip, the lone T600 that is not too good at the brain is okay, and it may not be effective against those hordes of terminators and humans with bad intentions.

"Take self-defense, be careful, don't fire at your own people!"

Liu Qi patted Carl and Marcus and said to them in a very serious tone.

Both of them nodded in understanding, and then followed Liu Qi and the three clone soldiers into the gas station with their weapons in hand.

"Don't move! Get down for me!!"

"Hands up!"

As in the original plot, when Carl, who was in a hurry to behave, found the unfinished can of goat's milk and said that there were people in the gas station, more than a dozen survivors jumped out of the hidden location, aimed AK, M4A1, MP5 and other messy guns at Liu Qi and others, and shouted for Liu Qi and others to surrender.

Of course, they were met with the indifferent faces of several clones and the weapons that were also turned on and aimed at them.

"Hey guys, we're humans, not those robots!"

Carl tried to lighten the mood, but nothing more than to get the survivors to pay more attention to him.

"Alright, your leader come out, let's talk about it!"

Liu Qi walked out, neither letting the clones put down their guns, nor paying attention to the survivors who saw him walk out and began to move the muzzles of the guns that could shoot at any time, but said meaningfully to these survivors who were obviously little minions.

"Man, what are you talking about? What do we have to talk about?"

A strong black man who was obviously the leader of this group of people stood up with a shotgun and looked at Liu Qi and asked.

"Of course, it's about business."

Liu Qi said a little lazily, he already knew about the situation of these survivors, and it was purely a pipe dream to let these survivors carry forward the selfless dedication of the public, and it was better to directly use the way of exchange.

"Business? What business?"

The black leader of the survivors was obviously interested, and motioned for the other survivors to disperse a little, and walked to the opposite side of Liu Qi and asked, but he still kept a guard against the situation that he might turn his face at any time.

"We need fuel, at least a hundred liters of fuel! Of course, it's to exchange things with you!"

Liu Qi told the other party what he needed very directly, and then said that he would exchange things with them - it was completely meaningless for these guys to go around in a few circles, and it was the most suitable way to do it directly.

"What are you going to exchange for a hundred liters of fuel?"

The black man's eyes flickered a few times, and after he thought for a while, he said to Liu Qi in a deep voice.

Although he was a little unimpressed by Liu Qi's resistance symbol, and he didn't think that the resistance could defeat those endless robots, it was still no problem to make some deals for the sake of the same humans.

"It depends on what you need. Bullet? Weapons? Pharmaceuticals? Cigarette? Food"

Liu Qi looked at the black strong man and other survivors who were a little tempted, raised his hand, and let several clones start to lower their guns slowly, and the atmosphere in the entire clearing also seemed to be relaxed, not as tense as before.

"Bullets? Pharmaceuticals? Cigarettes?"

Hearing these words, the black strong man couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and the survivors slowly put down their weapons after seeing the clone's friendly behavior, and even began to talk in a whisper. And Liu Qi also noticed that the white-haired old lady who was obviously very old in the original plot also appeared. However, she didn't say anything, but looked at Liu Qi and the others on the side, especially at the stars beside Carl, as if she was looking at her own child.

"Bullets on the AK series and T600 Vulcan cannon, some antibiotics, and cigarettes to try, this one is free!"

Liu Qi looked at the black leader and the other survivors who were obviously tempted to make eye contact or even discuss directly, smiled and said, and handed a rough cigarette to the black leader, and even signaled that the cigarette was free.

“xiexie”

The black leader thanked him and took the cigarette, which was obviously coarse and rotten, and then put it to his mouth, lit it, and took a big puff, completely ignoring the choking smell of the tobacco leaves, which had not been roasted at all, but squinted his eyes to feel the long-lost taste.

"100 litres of fuel, but at least 500 rounds of ammunition, 10 antibiotics, and 30 cigarettes!"

The black leader took a few puffs of cigarettes, and after feeling this long-lost feeling, he reluctantly handed the remaining half of the cigarette to a survivor who was looking at him beside him, and shouted a price code to Liu Qi.

"Deal!"

Liu Qi agreed very simply, he didn't have much feeling about this price, it was just to cover it up, especially after Liu Qi felt the depression on the horizon two minutes ago, he didn't have the heart to bargain.

"There are enemies!! It's the Terminator transport carrier!!"

Just as Liu Qi had just agreed, a warning from the clone soldiers suddenly came from outside.

With a bang, the survivors in the ruins of the gas station scattered like headless flies, and even the black leader did not come forward, but turned around and ran to the back of the gas station at the first time.

"Let's go, let's go!!"

Liu Qi was not slow, he roared to remind the others, and then planned to rush out.

Outside the gas station, a massive transport carrier, the ten-story Reaper had jumped down, and the plasma muzzle on its shoulder had begun to glow with blinding light.

"Boom-"

A plasma cannon turns three off-road vehicles and three clone soldiers left behind at the gate into fireballs and garbage.

And the oncoming air wave blew Liu Qi and the others back into the ruins of the gas station, and even one of the clone soldiers was slashed off by a piece of steel sputtered by the explosion, and his head was blown off, and he died instantly. The other two clones were lucky enough to be stabbed into the shoulder by a steel pipe about half a foot long and still managed to maintain a certain level of combat effectiveness, while the other clone was violently slammed into a ball of steel trash when he was kicked up by a wave of air. Although he didn't die immediately, seeing how he vomited a mouthful of blood from time to time and a large chunk of his back was concave, it was obvious that it was a matter of time before he was from the hanging point - it was possible to save this kind of injury in the emergency room of a modern hospital, but after the trial day, when "Terminator" Shijie was short of medical treatment, this injury could be judged to be a death sentence. Well, at least that's what it looks like after the Shijie apocalypse!

"Hurry up, let's get out of here!"

Liu Qi threw away the stone that almost broke the skin of his head, pulled up the three protagonists who had just been extremely lucky, and ran towards the parking position to the side to see if there were any vehicles there for a few people to escape.

Except for the wounded clone trooper who came after him, the mortally wounded man could only lie on the ground and wait for his death - no one and no Terminator would come to the rescue of a dying man at this time, only to take a shot to free him. (To be continued......)
