The 111th arduous journey - 112 human lives are not valuable, the yard is valuable
Chapter 111: The Arduous Journey (Part 3)
Qu Jianlei and the three of them didn't know that the small team that was expelled had been squatting outside for most of the day.
Bentley may have thought of it, but he didn't care - he wanted to wrestle with the reformers, and how many mechs had been prepared?
Anyway, most of them avoided them along the way, but occasionally they were tempted.
It's just that most of these tempting people don't dare to launch an attack without saying a word - what if the heavy truck belongs to a big force?
Therefore, choosing a heavy truck to rush still reduces a lot of trouble.
But even so, there will still be people who can't open their eyes, no matter what society, there is always no shortage of people who take risks.
In the wasteland, there are a few more people with such red eyes.
What made them feel depressed was that after a few battles, they actually lost money.
Even Bentley couldn't help but scold, "Nima, take a few guns and shoot a few shots, and you want to ambush a heavy truck?" β
"With this kind of intelligence, it's better to make human meat buns for the degenerate."
After walking for almost a month, the three of them finally reached the edge of the Zeu Zi District.
There's a desert on the edge of the district, but winter is coming, and Bentley says it's a good time to cross it.
If you cross the desert in the summer, you will consume much more water than in the winter, and various desert creatures will be active.
It took another month to cross the desert, and I also encountered some creatures...... It's okay anyway, don't lose money.
The amazing thing is that the settlement area that I arrived at was not "Yuzi", but a yellow-character settlement.
In Bentley's words, it's okay to go to the Yuzi district, but it's easy to come to the yellow character, even if the desert road is more difficult to walk.
When I came to the yellow character, I felt that the weather was very different, and the environment here was better.
There are scattered farmland, although most of them are grown in greenhouses, but they are really different.
The law and order are also relatively better...... So little bit, basically no one stared at the heavy truck in a daze.
In many wild camps, there are children everywhere.
It can be seen that the living environment here is much better than that of Hongzi and Zhouzi - not only children can grow up, but people also dare to give birth.
However, there are more formal inspections, not only in settlements, but also in field camps.
Qu Jianlei and their heavy trucks even encountered a surprise inspection in the field.
There were at least four cars and more than a dozen motorcycles on the opposite side, and as soon as they met, the other party signaled them to stop for inspection.
The flower scorpion's answer was to shoot directly - not at the person, but the attitude was obvious.
The other side was visibly stunned for a moment, and then a motorcyclist arrived with a white flag on his back.
The rider said that we are arresting wanted criminals and that all suspicious persons are being checked.
Bentley took out an object and lit it up, and without saying much, the other party immediately became respectful.
Even so, the man said he wanted to check the identity of the others and check the vehicle.
When Bentley heard this, his face pulled down directly, "I'll take a look at your documents." β
The rider could only say that I was not an official person, but only involved in helping.
"Get out," Bentley said, squinting his eyes as he pulled out a cigarette and lit it, "and we'll do it if we don't leave." β
The rider really didn't dare to blow up the stab, "Then I'll go and inform them and change someone with documents?" β
Bentley snorted disdainfully, "If the level of credentials is sufficient, come here...... It won't be you. β
The things he took out are quite authoritative, and ordinary inspectors are not qualified to check people and cars.
The driver was stunned, and he didn't know what the other party's identity had reached, so he could only turn his head and report back.
The convoy over there deliberated and signaled "pass".
Seeing this, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but glance at the old man, "Old Ben, you are very powerful." β
"It's just a supernumerary force assisting in the investigation," Bentley drove slowly, "maybe he wants to fish in troubled waters." β
The wasteland is still the same wasteland, and the order in the yellow area is a little better, but it is only a little better.
The three of them walked through the yellow character area, and it took more than two months to enter the "Xuanzi" level.
That's right, from the yellow character to the Xuanzi settlement, there are not many moats, and what hinders is the level.
The matter of passing the customs is, of course, handed over to the old Jianghu of Bentley.
The old man did not disappoint the two of them, and the identity passed directly.
Other verifications are inevitable, this time Qu Jianlei and Hua Scorpion changed identities and became Bentley's "attachΓ©".
The old man's ability to forge his identity is really not simple, and he has the right to bring his attachΓ© in.
The gatekeeper also roughly inspected the vehicle, but saw that the car was full of supplies, and there was no covetousness at all.
On the contrary, there was a hint of jealousy in the eyes they looked at Bentley.
- Only this kind of elder can carry so many materials and come back safely from the Yellow Character District, right?
The order of the settlement area is "Tianxuan Dihuang", not "Tiandi Xuanhuang", and when you enter the Xuanzi area, you are one step away from Tianzi.
This step away, they walked for more than a month, and finally came to the level.
It is easy to get out of the Xuanzi District, but if you want to reach the Tianzi District, you have to cross a large river more than three kilometers wide.
It's late winter, and you can barely get past the ice, and snowmobiles and the like are no problem.
But Qu Jianlei's heavy truck will never be able to drive, so they can only get on the ferry with ice-breaking ability.
Three people in a car paid 120 silver dollars to cross this big river of more than three kilometers.
After getting off the ferry, the corners of Qu Jianlei's mouth twitched, "Why...... Feel like you've been robbed? β
"That's where it goes," Bentley shook his head, "and then, let me give you a feel for what a robbery is." β
They're going to enter the Tianzi area, and there's a separate entry checkpoint here.
Bentley has the documents of a resident of Tianzi District, and his identity is not bad, so he can pay a customs clearance fee of fifty silver dollars.
Vehicles and supplies were charged a clearance fee of 200.
Qu Jianlei and Hua Scorpion had no documents, because they had Bentley's guarantee, they had temporary documents.
The temporary certificate costs fifty, which is a one-year term, and needs to be renewed when it expires, and the security deposit for each certificate is ...... Five hundred silver dollars!
Qu Jianlei felt that his brain was about to explode, "It really made me ...... when I wasn't rich." Worse. β
They didn't meet any serious opponents in the Yellow and Xuanzi districts, but they were relatively safe, but they kept spending money.
No one can stand the feeling of sitting and eating empty mountains.
"Don't be satisfied," Bentley said leisurely as he drove, "and you can't get in without my guarantee." β
The flower scorpion was also in pain, and she said very seriously, "You can consider smuggling." β
"Forget it," Qu Jianlei took a deep breath, "If money can solve the problem, then it's not a problem...... Why take the risk. β
Bentley glanced at him and said, "You're not in a bad state of mind, not like a young man who has been through poverty." β
Actually, I used to be very bad at money...... Qu Jianlei's psychology couldn't help but drip.
"Forget it, there's still some gold, and it's worth some money if you sell it."
He only brought eight kilograms of gold with him, and the rest was left in the secret camps in various places, thinking that it would be enough.
Who would have thought that this Tianzi area is really unusual, enter the customs, and the small two thousand silver dollars are gone.
"The cost of living in Tianzi District is not very high," Bentley replied with a surging voice, "but it is a little more expensive to enter the customs." β
"Of course, if you still want to cultivate...... Then you have to work hard to make money. β
Qu Jianlei couldn't help but glance at him, "Old Ben, when it's really inconvenient, I have to borrow money from you." β
"Borrowing or not borrowing...... Interesting? Bentley replied in a stinging voice.
However, the next moment, he couldn't help but emphasize, "With me, it's already very cost-effective." β
"I know," Qu Jianlei nodded, "I'm not idle, I've been thinking about helping you deduce the cultivation method." β
Bentley took a deep breath, "I can't help it anymore, let's go to Houjing quickly." β
Before he had this idea, he had already thought about eating and waiting to die.
But since he has such a thought, he has lived a real life for more than half a year.
It's because he's old, he has a lot of self-control, and those places are ...... It's really not suitable for cultivation.
When he stepped on the land of Tianzi District, this thought could no longer be suppressed, and he couldn't wait to fly over immediately.
There are a total of 14 settlements in Tianzi District.
In addition to No. 1 to No. 9, there are four other named after Beijing - Qianjing, Houjing, Zuojing, and Youjing.
The only remaining one is called "Taidu", which is the first settlement in the real Tianzi District.
However, Qianjing and Houjing are not far behind Taidu, and Houjing's strength is a little closer to Taidu.
To put it simply, Houjing is the second largest settlement in Tianzi District.
As the boss of the settlement, Taidu has more high-end resources.
However, even Bentley thinks it's more dangerous there β he has a false identity, but a wanted person is a wanted person.
Therefore, everyone unanimously agreed that Houjing was a good choice, as long as they were willing to spend money, they could still get their hands on cultivation resources.
Qu Jianlei couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Then why don't we go to Taidu?" β
"I can handle that," Bentley replied disapprovingly.
Then he couldn't help but ask, "How did you deduce?" β
Along the way, he and Hua Scorpion were busy, and Qu Jianlei was either reading or cultivating, without delay at all.
However, Bentley saw with his own eyes that Qu Jianlei's long-term cultivation had forcibly consumed a B-grade crystal.
In this case, he can't help but believe it.
"It's still a little imperfect," Qu Jianlei rubbed his eyebrows and replied distressedly.
"But to be honest, you must give feedback through practice, and in the end, you can find a suitable method for your cultivation."
Bentley could understand this, but he couldn't help but ask, "How long will it take?" β
"How dare I give you a packing ticket?" Qu Jianlei replied helplessly, "I can only promise...... As soon as possible! β
"You don't have to rush me, the key is that you still have to be able to get the resources for cultivation, that's what you should worry about."
Bentley's brow furrowed slightly...... I can't help it, I can't calm down.
The next moment, a series of noises rang out, and a muffled sound was heard outside the heavy truck.

Chapter 112 Human life is not valuable, but the yard is worth (fourth update)
The weather has not warmed up yet, and they have come to the Tianzi area again, and the three of them are currently sitting in the car.
The flower scorpion in charge of the guard exclaimed, "Someone is shooting us with a machine gun!" β
The cold glint in Bentley's eyes flashed, "Go and open fire, destroy the other party directly!" β
The flower scorpion's body flashed and was about to run backwards, but Qu Jianlei took a step faster and rushed directly to the body.
"I'll fuck the artillery, suppress the other party first, and then you use the machine gun to strafe."
The next moment, he exclaimed, "I'll go, do you want to be so ruthless, it's an armored car?" β
The attack came from the side, and Qu Jianlei spotted an armored car and two trucks at a glance, as well as an off-road vehicle.
It was not an armored car that was shot, but a truck, a cannon on an armored car, which was moving after the heavy truck.
Obviously, the aiming of the machine gun was slow, and the opponent was reluctant to consume ammunition, so he first fired with a vehicle-mounted machine gun.
In the past half a year, Qu Jianlei has reached the peak of the sixth layer of qi refining, and he may advance to the seventh layer at any time.
However, he has other plans, so in recent times, he has been improving his physical fitness.
He selected the armor-piercing shell, activated the cannon, and aimed at the armored vehicle in two seconds.
During this time, two other Gauss machine guns also rang out, causing the armor of the heavy truck to clang.
"I'm rough," someone couldn't help but scold, "such a perverted armor on a heavy truck, is this a suffrage?" β
The next moment, the heavy truck's cannon roared angrily, firing three times in a row.
Only one of the three shells missed, and two armor-piercing shells directly hit the armored vehicle to the fire.
"Thickened armor?" Qu Jianlei was also a little surprised, and then quickly switched to a high-explosive bomb.
Seeing this, the other three cars were directly dumbfounded, "What's the matter...... Hit so accurately? β
The three cars wanted to escape, but it was too late, Qu Jianlei's hand speed was extremely fast, and he fired three consecutive shots, directly blowing up the three cars.
Then he pointed at the burning armored car, "Do you want to capture it?" β
A fiery figure came out of the car.
"Don't!" Bentley said very dryly, "I'm going to stop, blow up the armored car and leave." β
Then he braked suddenly, Qu Jianlei shook his hand and blew up the armored car, and the heavy truck galloped away.
When he returned to the cab, the flower scorpion asked out loud, "Is the order in the Tianzi area so bad?" β
"I've never said that the order of the Tianzi District is good," Bentley said very dryly, and I don't carry this pot.
He asked rhetorically, "Guys with a little strength have all run here, how can you think that order is good?" β
The flower scorpion was speechless for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he asked again, "The order of the settlement is good, but the outside is poor?" β
"That's pretty much right," Bentley nodded, "but inside the settlement...... There are many big forces. β
Of course, there was nothing wrong with this, but Qu Jianlei's eyes narrowed and he spoke gloomily.
"After all, it was eliminated by Canterlot, right?"
After the endless hunting of the Saijia, he is now extremely sensitive to the term "big power".
Bentley was stunned for a moment, then bowed slightly, "That's true, but some of them were sent from Canterlot." β
The flower scorpion felt that the boss might lose control again, and immediately asked, "Is this an ordinary robber?" β
"It may or may not be," Bentley replied with a stinging voice, "that some robbers do have that power." β
"However, we can't rule out the possibility that they colluded with the people at the checkpoint, after all, we brought a lot of things."
"What the hell is this......" The flower scorpion originally wanted to divert her attention, but when she heard this, even she couldn't help but burst into foul language.
"If you ambush the poor, you won't even be able to pay for ammunition."
"You're going to be angry?" Bentley was a little helpless, "I earned more than the ammunition fee, so they mainly targeted heavy trucks." β
"Human life is not valuable," Qu Jian Lei said, "and the first half of my crystallization came from a black gun who wanted to shoot me." β
Seeing that he was back to normal, Hua Scorpion let go of a hanging heart, "The people at the pass really dare to be so gangsters?" β
"Why wouldn't you dare?" Bentley replied casually, in a very cold tone.
"If you're cautious, then just sell the news and make money for the news...... I've done it myself, and I've come across it. β
Qu Jianlei looked at him speechlessly, "Is this the case in Central City?" β
"Of course not," Bentley's tone was a little proud, "it's the most orderly there, like before the end times." β
Hua Scorpion didn't pay attention and scolded him, "Then you were also replaced, and you actually had the heart to say that they were good?" β
"This ...... It's different," Bentley's mouth couldn't help twitching, you really can't open a pot!
He paused for a moment and replied slowly, "No matter what society you are in, forcible seizure is objective. β
"The reason why I was replaced has nothing to do with order, it has to do with privilege...... At the end of the day, it's what I've gotten that is too precious. β
Hua Scorpion found that his mood was not high, and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." β
"It doesn't matter," Bentley spat out three words, then stopped talking, and the carriage fell silent.
The territory of the Tianzi settlement is not small, but their entry point is well chosen, and it only takes fifteen days to drive to Houjing.
However, this is mainly related to roads, and there are roads in many places in Tianzi District.
Although most of the roads are dirt roads, and even gravel roads are rare, there is absolutely no difference between roads and roads.
In the afternoon of this day, when he saw Houjing from afar, Hua Scorpion exclaimed, "This settlement in Houjing is ...... No walls? β
"Canterlot doesn't have walls," Bentley replied casually, "and the four capitals are just studying in Canterlot." β
His tone was calm, but he couldn't help but glance at Qu Jianlei - would this surprise you?
Qu Jianlei really can't get up, Lanxing now has a city wall...... That's all scenic spots!
Isn't it rare? Bentley sighed in his heart: this guy's background is really extraordinary.
Although Houjing does not have a city wall, it has a pass, and two passes separate the outside of the city, the suburbs and the city.
Bentley suggested settling down on the outskirts of the city, as the class outside the city was too low.
If you want to live in the city, many of the weapons on the heavy truck are over-standard, and there is too much ammunition.
This kind of matter involving the order of the settlement is very sensitive, and even if you are willing to spend money on it, it is not easy to find a reliable way.
As soon as Qu Jianlei heard about "spending money", he immediately shook his head, and now he has a big head when he thinks of silver dollars.
The flower scorpion also said dryly, "We believe in you." β
The house on the outskirts of the city is not cheap, a decent house with a yard can be rented for up to thirty silver dollars a month.
Bentley said this is normal, "This kind of house is generally shared, and it is not expensive to spread it out......
"If you are in the city, this kind of house will cost at least one hundred and fifteen, and the most expensive one can reach four or five hundred!"
"Is this the cost of living not high?" Qu Jianlei couldn't help but complain, "It's enough to buy a house in the six rich areas of Zhouliu!" β
"This is the Houjing of Tianzi District!" Bentley was a little helpless, "You rent a yard in the city, how can it be cheap?" β
But then again, renting a whole yard is a rigid need for them, and it is impossible to share it with others.
Bentley ended up choosing a relatively luxurious yard at a very impressive price β sixty a month's rent!
However, he has his own reasons, "This place is relatively hidden, and the privacy is very good, which is convenient for cultivation." β
"And we have to buy things next, and there is a certain possibility that we will be targeted by others."
"When they find out that we can afford to rent this kind of house, even if they want to do something, they have to weigh it."
"The Point Guard Is Here"
"Let's go," Qu Jianlei agreed weakly, the key is that the old man does have a point.
"But then, the money-making business is going to bother you."
He wasn't worried at all that the old man wouldn't make money, otherwise how could he have accumulated such a big family business?
Before, it was nothing more than no hope of revenge, and he was gradually aging, so he chose the cat to spend the rest of his life in the sixth day.
"I'm old, and you're in charge of making money," Bentley replied bliantly.
"It's not appropriate for you to say that," Qu Jianlei said, "I have a lot of things to do...... You two don't want to get the cultivation method? β
"I can go and make money," the flower scorpion immediately took the initiative.
However, although she has this awareness, she has to face a problem, "But I don't have a way to make a lot of money." β
An elite-level hunter like her, in fact, is not short of money, and she can just take on a few tasks in her free time.
But the expenses here in Houjing are too high, so high that her scalp is numb.
With the speed at which she makes money in Hongzi District, she may not be able to afford the rent of the small courtyard in the end after a month of hard work.
Qu Jianlei glanced at the old man speechlessly, "It's not difficult to introduce some ways to make money, right?" β
The two of them are newcomers to Tianzi District, and there are old drivers to lead the way, so they can avoid detours.
"The yellow scorpion is also responsible for early warning and security, how can it go out to work?" Bentley replied casually.
Qu Jianlei glanced at him vigorously and didn't speak.
Bentley was shocked by this glance and took the initiative to say.
"Okay, I'll come to Zhang Luo to make money, it's really not good, I'll take care of it first."
That night there was no talk, and early the next morning, Bentley went out after breakfast.
Qu Jianlei stood on the stake with the flower scorpion and boxed and practiced for more than two hours before stopping.
The weather began to gradually get warmer, and the two of them practiced sweating, but fortunately, there was no shortage of bathing equipment in the rented house.
If you don't even have this bit of equipment, how dare you rent it at such a high price?
After a brief rinse, the flower scorpion took the initiative to find Qu Jianlei, "Can you start trying to cultivate?" β
Qu Jianlei glanced at her helplessly, "There are basically no resources, and the old man will definitely not promise you to practice first." β
Hua Scorpion was a little eager to try, "His exercises are improving, and my cultivation is brand new......"
"If I'm right, is it harder to renovate than to rebuild?"
"You really dare to think about it," Qu Jianlei glanced at her, "To design a cultivation method for you, it is to cross the river by feeling the stones, and there must be a reference." β
(It's four more, the ninth day of the 10,000-word update, asking for all kinds of support.) οΌ
