The wind swept through my ears, whirring.

Qin Ge sat in the corner of the open-air compartment of the steam truck, his head slightly bowed, his hands on his bent knees, as if he was pretending to sleep.

At this moment, it was already dawning, and two steam trucks were carrying fifty bounty hunters, as well as the five anti-poison hunters, heading straight for their destination.

At the speed of the steam truck, if nothing else, it will arrive before twelve o'clock at noon, and the entire anti-virus mission plan will take three to five days to complete, this time, Qin Ge plans that he should get at least 50 gold coins, and then he can be worthy of his adventure, which can also be more conducive to supporting him to complete the anti-virus hunter assessment in six months.

Unfortunately, it has been rumored recently that the government is no longer using the previous 8K gold to mint gold when minting gold coins, but has used half of the 8K gold for the first time, that is, 4K gold, so over this period of time, gold coins are becoming more and more difficult to earn, and even the value of silver and copper coins has fluctuated chaotically.

As Qin Ge pondered these things, the speed of the steam truck gradually slowed down and began to merge into an even larger convoy in front of him.

Although the invasion of the virus has caused great turmoil to the human society on the earth and completely collapsed the economy, the road network built by the state before 2018 has basically been preserved, and it has been developed and utilized to the greatest extent at present.

Unlike the railway network and the network of high-voltage transmission and substations, the pipeline network is currently only functioning in the periphery of important large cities, because it is too expensive to maintain these networks.

In contrast, the road network is easier to maintain.

The huge convoy in front of it is also made up of many large and small convoys.

The first to start was the government's army, with twelve armored vehicles, two howitzer trucks, one fuel truck, five military heavy trucks, and ten military Humvees, about two companies of troops.

The army's role is to patrol and protect the normal operation of the road, and at the same time to clear the five kilometers of the highway from the reservoir and infected people to ensure the smooth transportation of supplies.

There are many anti-drug hunters in the government army, and they are generally very powerful, but they have little intersection with the local area, such as this army patrolling the highway is directly under Longjiang Province.

And it will be very safe to meet them on the highway, whether it is a physical doomsday virus host, a chemical plague virus host, a necromantic virus host, or a mental hallucination demon virus host, you can basically get it.

For example, Qin Ge and they are going to strangle a level 4 abomination boss this time, and a few howitzers can kill it.

But the reason why the army is not used to bomb and kill is actually very simple: first, it is necessary to provide relief through work, and today's refugees will not be able to farm and work except for their fighting instincts; second, the military's ammunition and materials are also in short supply; third, because there are more terrible invasion viruses that cannot be solved, and this war may have just begun.

Behind the military convoy are vehicles transporting supplies and vehicles like Qin Ge and them, which can stretch for more than ten kilometers.

Soon, the convoy began to speed up, and the military convoy patrolling the highway was usually 60 kilometers per hour, while the fastest speed of the steam truck was only 45 kilometers.

Qin Ge also took advantage of this opportunity to relax and rest.

For a whole morning, there were no incidents, which shows that the government and military have maintained the road well.

At 11:18 a.m., Qin Ge and his two steam trucks broke away from the convoy and drove down a fork in the road.

This fork in the road used to be a third-class highway, connecting an agricultural county under Dafeng City, named Guangming County, named after Guangming Farm.

The county has a small population, with a total population of less than 100,000 in 2018.

The last time Guangming County had contact with the outside world was in 2032, when the virus invasion was more rampant, and later, the population of the entire county was gone, and I don't know whether they fled or all died from the virus invasion.

It was not until 2045 that the Longjiang provincial government had the spare capacity to send an elite anti-virus hunter to investigate, and the entire investigation lasted for three months, and the final conclusion was that there was indeed a virus invasion in Guangming County, but then the unknown virus host had left or been wiped out elsewhere.

In short, it is now an empty county seat.

The two steam trucks slowly moved along the overgrown tertiary road, which was unrecognizable at all, and at this time the wind also stopped, and the clouds in the sky dispersed a lot, revealing a clear blue sky and bright sunshine, and occasionally a dark cloud drifted by, casting a shadow on the ground.

The vegetation around is very good, there are no trees, all half-human deep grass, a few big chase in the distance, it looks very peaceful, there is no shadow of a walking corpse.

"Bang bang!"

The steam truck in front of it suddenly made a loud noise, and then stopped, someone was swearing, obviously, after running a hundred and sixty kilometers, this steam truck began to have problems, this is very normal, it is strange that there is no problem.

"Get out of the car, get out of the car, everybody get out of the car!"

Four or five voices shouted chaotically, but these were the five squad leaders appointed before departure.

When it really came time to fight, those five anti-virus hunters wouldn't personally command the fifty bounty hunters, and they wouldn't even kill those walking corpse infected, they would be responsible for taking care of the level 4 abomination boss and dealing with some emergencies by the way.

And the walking corpse infected led by the abomination boss, and the special walking corpse infected, are what Qin Ge and these people need to deal with, and after there is no level 4 abomination boss, the price of additional hunting of walking corpses has fallen to the lowest, only five copper coins.

The price is harsh, but reasonable.

"Everyone carried their baggage on their backs and ran forward in small teams, aiming at Guangming County, 20 kilometers away, where we needed to build an anti-virus base camp. ”

Several squad leaders shouted loudly, those five anti-virus hunters were just leisurely watching the scenery at this time, and until now, they would only be responsible for two things to the bounty hunters, first, to make sure that you had killed enough walking corpses, and second, to pay you a salary.

As for how to confirm, there is a temporary team leader.

Bounty hunters have long established a rule over the long decades, and it is easy for no one to cross the line.

The baggage was not much, nothing more than five kilograms of drinking water per person, two kilograms of food and a bundle of dry firewood, which were provided by the owner.

After the back, you don't have to worry about the 'owner' who is watching the scenery, just take a big step and run forward with your temporary teammates.

Every qualified bounty hunter knows what to do when and when.

Twenty kilometers is not far, except that the road is not very easy to walk, the road is very quiet, and because this is a plain area, you can see the small county town from a distance.

The county seat is not big, it is only two or three streets, the length of the east and west will not exceed one kilometer, the north and south are also three kilometers, the highest building is only ten floors, the rest are three, five, seven floors, and the most is the bungalow that has collapsed.

The county town is very quiet, the biggest feature is that the eyes are all yellow-green, yellow-green trees, yellow-green weeds, yellow-green vines, swarming in every corner, it is difficult to identify the appearance of sixty years ago.

So no one would want to spend the night in such buildings, even if they still looked sturdy.

"Collect stones, wood, scrap steel, build an anti-virus base camp, the old rules, the materials found belong to yourself, and blow the whistle immediately in case of emergencies, life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky!"

With a shout, all the bounty hunters scattered like sheep and began a quick search for the long-lost county seat.

At this time, the five anti-virus hunters appeared leisurely, chatting and waiting for the whistle to blow.

It's the old rule.

If there's any danger in a lost city, the best thing to do is to trigger it directly, rather than waiting for the danger to come on its own.

And the bounty hunters are the dead men who are responsible for going to the minefield.

It sounds unfair and cruel, but it's the best way to figure out the hidden danger in a short period of time.

As for the opinion of the bounty hunters?

Well, they won't have an opinion, the previous 15 gold coins included this kind of life money.
