Chapter 172: Confidant in the Sea
After the sun sets, the temperature in the desert area plummets.
Lu Feng took out the quilt and thick clothes from the trunk of the off-road vehicle, although these were prepared for the night outside the town, he didn't expect that he would really spend the night in the desert, and it was also in the active area of the Death Crab.
Locals know that the area is at its most dangerous after dark.
Temperature changes can cause a large number of mutated creatures to burrow out of the sand to move, so experienced caravans will plan their routes in advance to ensure that they reach the town before the sun sets.
As for the less experienced caravans, most of them are now sleeping in the bellies of mutated creatures.
And Song Lan not only chose to rest in this dangerous area, but also made another act that defied common sense - they lit a fire in a clearing, which was tantamount to deliberately attracting the attention of mutated creatures.
Lu Feng had heard a very experienced local mercenary captain mention that if there was an irresistible factor in the escort process that everyone had to stay overnight in the desert area, the only way to survive was to hide in the car and close the doors and windows tightly so as not to make the slightest noise.
Then pray that your luck is good enough not to be noticed by mutated creatures that happen to pass by.
And apparently, their group has been noticed.
Because in addition to the four of them, there were also a few juvenile Grim Reaper crabs who also gathered around to warm up with them by the campfire.
The juvenile Reaper Crab stood up to the height of a man, its sharp pincers reflecting the cold silver light in the moonlight.
Lu Feng suddenly had a wonderful thought.
If they can survive this time, he can brag about the fact that he used to sit by the campfire with the Death Crab to keep warm.
However, there is no basis for words, and others obviously will not believe it.
He hesitated for a moment before he whispered, "Dr. Song, do your friends mind if I take a picture with them?" ”
After spending a day with the Death Crab, Lu Feng was gradually able to restrain the fear in his heart.
Everyone is curious, and he is no exception.
He didn't read much, and he followed the tide of the times to the seventeenth district at a young age and became a businessman, so in his eyes, Song Lan, who can deal with the Death Crab, is at least a doctorate-level figure.
"It said yes."
Song Lan said.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Lu Feng handed the mobile phone to his assistant, mustered up the greatest courage in his life, and stood beside the juvenile Grim Reaper Crab, which was erect and was a head taller than him.
As the host, the Grim Reaper Crab showed great enthusiasm, and its slender forelimbs rested on Lu Feng's shoulders, forming a friendly shoulder bond.
And this moment is forever saved on Lu Feng's mobile phone screen.
At the end of the group photo, Lu Feng excitedly took the mobile phone, this photo is the heirloom in the future, when he retires and holds his grandchildren in the future, he must tell the other party about his heroic experience.
June 13, 2166, 21:05:31 p.m.
He became friends with the Grim Reaper Crab, and he wanted to know about it.
Lu Xiang, who was sitting by the bonfire, told Song Lan about the Barossa Group.
"The head of the Barossa Group in this area, called the Scarecrow, was offered a reward of 7.38 million watts by the coalition government for constantly provoking wars."
Song Lan felt that since he went to the outside world in the seventeenth district, the bounty of this prisoner was simply the same as inflation, and after Fei Yin, who was worth 2.70932 Chai Ke, there was another ruthless character equivalent to 11.90323 Chai Ke.
Chai Ke, can you do it?
In the past, Song Lan felt that Chai Ke's 620,000 watts bounty was sky-high, but now it seems that if a felony from the "outside world" holds a joint meeting, Chai Ke should belong to the kind of marginal person who can't even speak, and others may not even bother to take care of him when they serve tea and water.
After a horizontal comparison, Song Lan always felt that the criminals in District 17 were simply pediatrics in front of the real ruthless characters in the "outside world".
Song Lan didn't understand and asked, "If Chai Ke joins the Barossa Group, can he only be mixed with the last Ranger squad leader?" ”
"That's not it, 620,000 is Chai Keqian's bounty in the 'outside world', and his bounty hasn't been touched much since he came to the 17th District, but he was indeed forced to return to the 17th District under the pressure of the Barossa Group."
Every gold digger who has ever gone to the "outside world" has had a dream of dominating the world.
However, the Barossa Group, which firmly controls the arms business of the "outside", is nothing more than a dream shredder, and those who once tried to challenge them will either escape in ashes or become corpses dried in the desert.
Song Lan heard another meaning from this passage.
As the head of law enforcement in District 17, in order to make local criminals not lose face in front of the "outside" repeat offenders as much as possible, Lu Xiang took the initiative to patch Chai Ke.
She really, I cried to death.
"However, with the specifications of mercenaries, they are absolutely unable to compete with the Barossa Group, they have dealings with many arms manufacturers in the coalition government, equipped with the most sophisticated equipment on the market, once they become their enemies, they often directly dispatch small-scale war-level weapons to sweep away hostile forces."
They have long since gone beyond mercenary organizations and are like a private army.
This is also the reason why Lu Xiang proposed to withdraw to the Seventeenth District before making plans, if she really confronted the regular army of the Barossa Group, she would not have the energy to take care of the safety of Lu Feng and his assistants.
"Did you hear that? What was that? ”
Lu Feng had to intervene in the conversation between the two.
In the relative silence of the desert, the sound of the helicopter propeller is particularly clear.
In fact, he had vaguely seen the mechanized forces approaching them in the distance, and he just didn't want to face it.
As if sensing impending danger, the two reaper crabs quickly burrowed into the sand.
"Here we are."
Lu Xiang took a deep breath and checked the gun in his hand, "The regular army of the Barossa Group." ”
At the same time, the other side.
"Report to the Commander, the target has been locked, four people in total,"
On the armored hover, the Ranger commander heard the report of the reconnaissance group.
There was not a trace of joy on his face, but it was extremely solemn.
This was different from the situation they calculated, they originally speculated that after finishing out a group of rangers, Lu Xiang and the others would quickly withdraw to the Seventeenth District, and he had even prepared for the worst plan to start a war with the enforcers in the Seventeenth District, but judging from the current route, not only did they not retreat, but instead moved forward for some distance.
Two people, with two oil bottles, dare to spend the night in such a desert area?
What are these people up to?
