Under the Canopy - The World Beyond the City Chapter 26 The Meaning of Luck
By the time the armoured convoy departed again, it was past three o'clock, and after going to another recovery point, the team would spend the night in a small town forty kilometers away, with an estimated arrival time of five o'clock in the afternoon.
As for the reason for resting so early, it is to blame the canopy, which will fall on time at six o'clock every night, and no one wants to rush in that real darkness, which is not a hurry, but a rush.
It is said that the high-level of the cultivators once discussed with the Chenqi clan that the routine of six o'clock in the evening and six o'clock in the morning was too contrary to the habits of modern people, could it be changed?
As a result, of course, it was rejected by the Chenqi clan, and the reason is that the harmony of yin and yang, and the equal length of day and night is the natural principle.
Fortunately, human beings have long invented an artifact to fight against the night, no matter what natural reason you have, human beings want to have as long as the day, then the day must be as long, and when the night comes, it is up to human beings to decide!
The words are ruthless, in fact, in order to save energy, the night of Huaguo City is a little ashamed of the name of the city that never sleeps, and the word ghost city is quite appropriate.
In the convoy, two people were replaced every ten minutes to blow the wind on the roof, and after three changes, they finally arrived at the recovery point.
The nine teams set off again, Chen Wuming stared at the monitoring for a long time, and was relieved to see that the students did not sprout their old ways, and they were quite honest.
Chen Wuming only hopes that the cycle of this tightening spell can be as long as possible, otherwise, it will either kill people or tire people to death.
Wu Yong walked over, and he was going to discuss the next matter with Chen Wuming, the actual leader.
After Chen Wu finished discussing, the nine teams also came back one after another, and after counting the numbers, the team set off towards the town where the night would be stayed.
"Come, come, let's draw a lot and choose four lucky winners!" Chen Wuming's voice sounded in a group of communication groups, "The lucky ones who win the red lot!"
In the minds of a group of nine people, there was a burst of loud music, and then nine lottery jars appeared, the taste of rustic and trickery was extremely strong, and it was indeed Chen Wuming's favorite tune.
"Quick, first served. Chen Wuming urged, fart child, no one moved, the current child is really difficult to bring!
"What happiness will the lucky ones have?" When Lin Yu boldly asked, Nangong Bowl drew lots, and it was white and missed.
"The odds have been raised to five or five!" Chen Wuming continued to urge regardless of Lin Yu's question or Nangong Wan's feelings.
The others are helpless, let's smoke, let's smoke, the teacher can still be happy and happy, if you don't smoke? If you don't smoke, the teacher will definitely be forcibly apportioned, and when the time comes, no one will want to be happy.
Lin Yu, Zhou Jun, Ye Yi and Shen Zijian won the red lottery, but there was no joy on their faces, they didn't know what the prize was, and they didn't know where to be happy if they wanted to be stupid!
"I'm willing to give up the red sign, who will change with me!" Shen Zijian spoke first, and Xia Lan's moving sobs sounded in the communication group, and the dog food was fed unexpectedly, and it was full.
"I'll change it with you!" was silent for five seconds in the communication group, and it was Nangong Bowl who spoke.
The other three boys snorted, they would rather die than fulfill Shen Diaoxia, who knew that Nangong Bowl had actually rebelled.
"Then Lin Yu, Zhou Jun, Ye Yi, Nangong Bowl is the lucky one!" Chen Wuming announced the result, and the fireworks with the five-cent special effect bloomed in the minds of the four people, and there were some strange black mud sounds that kept ringing.
"Now I announce that the lucky ones can move freely, they can go on the roof of the car to blow the wind, they can go out to pick up bullet shells, they can rest and eat at the rest point!" Chen Wuming finally said the benefits of not talking about death.
It sounds like a lot of benefits, but when you think about it, isn't this what everyone is doing right now?
Isn't this just business as usual? This is considered a benefit? No wonder if you don't say it, you will definitely be beaten to death if you say it! Lin Yu and the four of them slandered in their hearts.
"The remaining five people, grounded, no orders, not allowed to leave the car for half a step, and my face is also as far away from the car window as possible!" Chen Wuming finally tried to see the dagger and said the real purpose.
The five people in the field couldn't help but exclaim, for a long time, you didn't choose the lucky one, but the unlucky one! Don't you want to be so dark, the black-hearted stepmother of the house next door can't bear to pit me like this!
"Okay, I'm willing to lose the bet, who is to blame for the lottery myself!"
"Don't be sad, the teacher will accompany you to ground. Chen Wuming finally said a comforting word.
Everyone wanted to ask again, but the distribution group was temporarily closed by Chen Wuming. Even if you are ruthless, you didn't give any benefits, so the five students were grounded with nothing to say! The nine people in the first class once again saw the teacher's wrist.
As the curtain came down on this draw farce, many armored vehicles had a miserable feeling, and everyone went out of the city to experience and see the wider world, but as a result, they were locked up in small carriages.
As for the reason for them, Chen Wuming didn't say anything, but everyone had some guesses.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the convoy came to the ruins of the town earlier than the scheduled time, and there was a rusty iron sign at the entrance, with three words on it, the word in the middle was gone, and the last word was only half of the word, and it was easy to guess that it was originally a town word.
The town is small, with only two rows of buildings stretching out for about 2 kilometers, the tallest building is three floors, and the road between the two rows of buildings has been buried by mud and sand, so I think the town was not a thriving place before it was abandoned.
The sound of the armored car seemed to wake up the town, and the two figures walked out of the dilapidated building, and Lin Yu and the others who were watching were stunned, could it be that there were still people living here?
The armored car was parked in the middle of the two buildings, and there was an open area, and if you looked closely, it was a fork in the straight street of the town, and it was good to use it as a campsite.
The soldiers got out of their cars one by one, set up defense platforms, set up air purification devices, and prepared for camping.
Four or five half-human-tall engineering robots began to clean, and there was not much dust in the open space, apparently there were often Chinese troops resting here.
After a while, the dust is swept away, revealing the concrete pavement below, and the robot emits scanning rays and begins to look for uneven spots in the ground, and once found, it will step forward and inject a high-strength instantaneous coagulant.
This operation, even in the late stage of obsessive-compulsive disorder, will feel very healing after watching it.
Lin Yu and the others were being cured at this time, but unfortunately they could only see it through the screen, and the people in the first class were ordered by Wu Yong not to get out of the car before dark at six o'clock, and this order also did not give a reason.
Lin Yu, as the lucky one, protested to Teacher Chen, and the teacher shamelessly said that Wu Yong was higher than him and must obey the order.
A group of people once again saw what it means to be shameless, what it means to sing double reeds, and what it means to be beaten by society.
Of the two people who had walked out of the house earlier, one of them walked towards the army, and the other was watching, but there was no curiosity in his eyes, and it was obvious that the operation of the convoy had been seen more than once.
"Team Wu, every time you make such a big move, disturb the people!" One of the people who came over was wearing old clothes, looking a little thin, and on the whole it was neat and clean, he obviously knew Wu Yong.
"Monkey, you are on duty today, do you have anything to trade?" Wu Yong smiled kindly, the full name of this person nicknamed Monkey is Hou Ji, and he is a disciple of the Kongyi Sect, and he is an eighth-level cultivator of Qi refining.
When Wu Yong was talking, the monkey's face appeared on the display screen in the car, this is the camera function that comes with the brain, and the group of people was a little confused, why are you showing us this?
On the other side, after the engineering robot leveling is completed, a layer of material is laid on the ground, and some reagents are injected into the material, and then the material begins to foam, forming a thick layer of soft carpet-like ground.
Compared to the monkey's face, these are what everyone likes to see.
"Yes!" Hou Ji said as he took out the storage bag and put it on the ground as he pulled it out.
After a while, there were more than forty bullet casings on the ground, and boxes of different sizes, and the boxes were very intimately opened, revealing the spiritual grass and spiritual materials inside, and the most exaggerated thing was a half-human-tall robot.
After glancing at the picture provided by Wu Yong, everyone was attracted for the first time.
"The old price of the bullet shell, no problem, right?" Wu Yong saw that Hou Ji had finished laying out and began to negotiate.
Wu Yong waved his hand, and three more soldiers came over, each holding a scanner in his hand.
"No problem. Hou Ji responded happily and also took out a small device,
Next, it is the transaction, after the soldier scans the item, the device in Hou Ji's hand will display the price of a virtual currency, and he presses OK, which means that the transaction is completed.
After a while, after the transaction was completed, Hou Ji took back the items that did not agree to the transaction, and the successful transaction was taken back by the soldiers to the armored vehicle for preservation, and the largest robot was repaired by two technicians on the spot.
Kongyimen belongs to the outer city sect recognized by Huaguo, which is equivalent to an alliance, and will help Huaguo recover some materials, charge some handling fees, and at the same time, will sell the collected spiritual grass and spiritual materials to Huaguo.
Wu Yong handed a piece of equipment to Hou Ji, on which were the materials brought by the team, and if Hou Ji needed it, he could directly buy it with virtual currency.
"Monkey, there are no storage bags to sell this time?" Wu Yong asked casually when Hou Ji was picking up things.
"No, the old master's body, you know it. Hou Ji smiled bitterly.
"Does the current master of the sect have any plans to return to Huaguo?" Wu Yong asked, Kongyimen has a very good set of making storage bags, and the high-level officials of Huaguo have always wanted to bring this sect under their command.
"The old master is still here, don't think about it. Hou Ji's face became even more bitter.
Kongyimen is very representative, more than 100 years ago, after the old master built the foundation, he took the disciples of the door, set up a mountain outside the city, and created the Kongyimen, after a hundred years of hard work, the sect has a scale of tens of thousands of people.
Among these tens of thousands of people, some want to return, and some want to continue to be at ease, which is normal.
After Hou Ji finished choosing, took his things and left, Wu Yong looked at another person, who was also looking at Wu Yong.
"Friend, are you here to trade too?" Wu Yong asked calmly, showing his friendliness.
When the man heard this, he walked over slowly, the soldier's gun was raised, and the guard tower that had just been erected also pointed his gun at the comer.
"Friend, report yourself first, it's not good to have a misunderstanding. Wu Yong raised his hand, and the moment he put his hand down, it was the moment when the fire was released.
"Nangong Wan, Lin Yu, Zhou Jun and Ye Yi, get out of the car and find cover, don't be exposed, listen to my command, and be ready to shoot at any time. Chen Wuming suddenly gave an order.
The four people of Nangong Bowl, who had been holding back for a long time, responded happily, picked up their weapons, carefully got off the armored car, and kept approaching in the direction of Wu Yong under the cover of vehicles, personnel and materials.
"Iron Cavalry, Tang Zhong. The person who came was five meters away from Wu Yong, stood still, pulled down the cap, and showed his face.
"The Iron Rider doesn't seem to have any entanglement with us!" Wu Yong replied lightly.
At the same time, Wu Yong's mind searched for Tang Zhong's name and image, and then scanned Tang Zhong in front of him, and gave a conclusion of 98% similarity, which was basically confirmed.
Tang Zhong, a member of the Iron Riding Club, is suspected of refining qi at the ninth level and refining the body at the sixth level.
"It's okay to confirm your identity!" Tang Zhong was unimpressed by Wu Yong's coldness, but he was quite familiar with Huaguo's intelligence system, "Now, can we talk about business?"
"What's the business?" Wu Yong gestured, his hand lowered, but none of the guns aimed at Tang Zhong were lowered.
The Iron Rider Club has no friendship with Nandu.,It belongs to a neutral sect.,It is said that more than sixty years ago,It was founded by two brothers with a scientist.,After its establishment,,Didn't show the meaning of being close to Nandu.,Nandu didn't bother to pay attention to him.。
"Don't you want shells?" Tang Zhong said and took three steps closer, "Over the years, our Iron Cavalry has also collected a lot, about a thousand!
"Yes, how is the value?" Wu Yong looked at Tang Zhong, who was only two meters away from him, still calm, this distance Tang Zhong could kill him in seconds, but he was not afraid.
Behind him is Huaguo, if Tang Zhong dares to make a move, the Iron Cavalry will have to accompany the funeral, similar things have happened before.
If you want, the force of Nandu can completely wipe out the surrounding small sects, but there is no need, first, the sect can provide supplies, and second, it will help consume the number of wild creatures, and it is more useful to keep them than to destroy them.
"You, you're not qualified, come to talk to your principal!" Tang Zhong said, looking at the convoy, as if looking for the principal.
"I'm the captain, you ask who has the final say here!" Wu Yong smiled disdainfully, and the soldiers in the rear called Captain Wu in unison.
"You, you're not qualified!" Tang Zhong moved his gaze back and stared at Wu Yong tightly, his aura was rising, and he seemed to be about to make a move at any time.
"Don't make a move, wait for my order!" Chen Wuming ordered again, stopping the movements of the four people in Nangong Bowl.
What should I do if Captain Wu has an accident? The four of Nangong Bowl were secretly anxious.
Nangong Wan and Lin Yu moved forward a few centimeters further, Ye Yi's bow slowly opened silently, and Zhou Jun kept muttering about the waterfall in a low voice, and the aura in his body was slowly released and circulating.
"Then there's no need to talk about it!" Wu Yong spread his hands very shamefully, and wanted to turn around and leave.
Tang Zhong moved, the whole person seemed to be one size smaller, and he rushed in front of Wu Yong, using Wu Yong's body as a shield, temporarily cutting off the aiming route of all firearms.
Tang Zhong, who was short, pushed up violently with his right hand covered by fire aura, covering Wu Yong's face, and a fireball exploded in Wu Yong's head.
