With a series of speculations about the origin of the ninth-star mutant, Shu Yungui and Billy entered Fast City nearly two hours later than Car No. 1.

It's a modern and technologically advanced city, with a tower of hundreds of cars of all kinds standing in the heart of the city that has survived 20 years of wind and rain, guiding the way for displaced people in this abandoned land.

Car No. 1 stopped next to a private house at the entrance to the city, and in the gap between them, the guide Vincent had already lit the bonfire, but fortunately the house only had one window, and they used clothes to cover the light, as long as it didn't make too much noise, the orcs wouldn't notice it for a while.

"We don't have enough food left to make it to Coper."

Raymond, the musketeer, counted his supplies and crept in through the narrow door with his gun in hand, for fear of making a noise through the dilapidated door.

"It cost us five bags of food to exchange fuel with that group of homeless people in Gobain, and now there are only two bags left, and seven people are far from enough."

The materials of the bounty team are equipped according to the number of heads, one bag of food per person, a total of seven bags are prepared, it stands to reason that one back and forth is enough, but I didn't expect something to happen halfway, in order to pull the second car, the load increased, and the fuel consumption increased, so I had to use five bags of grain to change the fuel.

As the saying goes, people are iron, food is steel, not to mention that they are still in such a dangerous environment, if they can't even guarantee food and clothing, this journey is only difficult to go to the end.

Harvey watched Vincent and Coney crouching around the campfire, pouring dry minced noodles and a small portion of minced meat into the improvised pot, which can be boiled into a pot of high-carb paste, although it doesn't look good, but it is easy to carry and can fight hunger, and the bounty team eats this when they travel.

Shu Yungui and Billy arrived late, smelling the aroma of food at the door, Shu Yungui sniffed, and said to Vincent and Coney when he entered the door, "Serve it quickly when the food is cooked, this fragrance may also tempt orcs."

Kony quickly answered, and stirred the batter in the pot with the spatula even harder.

Harvey looked at the map through the campfire, his face flickering in the beating light.

"We've doubled the distance to the next city because of the detour to fix the car, and we won't have anywhere to resupply food and fuel if we can't resupply in Fast City."

He looked at Shu Yungui and said quietly, "Isn't it time for you to fulfill your promise?"

Shu Yungui didn't plan to escape, he took a look at the map and asked Vincent, "Where is the biggest supermarket in this neighborhood?"

Vincent quickly moved over and pointed to the car tower and said, "The big supermarkets are all in the city center, but I don't recommend going there to replenish food, after all, the wild land has been abandoned for twenty years, even the largest supermarkets should be emptied, and it is very likely that they will run in vain."

Vincent's suggestion was very pertinent, and Shu Yungui also had this concern in his heart, but the team really had to replenish supplies before they could continue on the road, and they had to go tonight.

"You can only look for supermarkets along the road, and if you really can't do it, you may have to look for it in the house."

Shu Yun returned, "In order to save time, I suggest dividing into two teams, Raymond and Vincent staying to protect Boss Harvey, and the others going with me to find food."

He looked at Harvey and asked, "Does the boss have a problem with this distribution?"

Harvey rolled his eyes and looked at Kony, "Why can't we all act together?"

"No, don't forget that we're here to repair the car, we're going to find food, you go to fix the car, that's the most time-saving way, otherwise you'll spend an extra day on food."

Shu Yungui knew what Harvey cared about, so he said, "In this way, Kony is also following you, don't worry?"

Kony obviously wanted to follow Shu Yungui, and as soon as he heard that he was going to hand himself over to this cunning and hateful Colosseum owner again, he glared at Harvey and deliberately took a spoonful of the bowl of paste that was given to him.

Harvey's goal was to prevent Shu Yungui and Kony from acting alone out of his sight, and now that the goal was achieved, there was no opinion, and everyone quickly finished this simple dinner and prepared to set off.

They agreed to meet at dawn under the car tower, with Harvey, Raymond, Vincent, and Kony driving to find auto parts, while Shu Yungui, Raymond, and Qi Yan walked lightly, scouring supermarkets and stores along the road in search of the remnants of food in the city. ap.

Ordinary food has rotted after twenty years, and only some specially treated, canned food is barely edible, but canned food is hard currency in the wilderness, and finding a can is as difficult as finding a gun.

"Maybe we'll go hunt some pheasants and hares sooner."

With grass in his mouth, Billy followed Shu Yungui and whispered, "Or go directly to the building and search door to door, there are always some lonely homeless people who will hoard a lot of food, why don't we go and grab it?"

Shu Yungui didn't speak, but Qi Yan, who was at the back of the three-person team, retorted: "Those homeless people who have the ability not to gather crowds and are self-reliant are far more shrewd than you think, and they are cunning rabbits, and it is not so easy to get out of their territory."

Billy also came out of the wilderness for the first time, and Qi Yan was more experienced in surviving in the wild, so he had to shut down, and the three of them walked along the street against the wall, quietly moving forward in the night.

Almost all of the shops along the street are open, many of the locks have been pryed, and the glass has been smashed, so you can imagine that the homeless people did everything to get food.

Shu Yungui found the largest shopping mall, stood at the door and listened intently for a while, making sure that there were no orcs inside, before beckoning to Billy and Qi Yan, and the three of them quickly flashed into the mall.

The ground was a mess, with broken glass shards, torn bags, scattered air-dried unknown food, and dried black blood stains all pointing to the violent situation that had taken place here. Chaotic conflict.

The three of them moved very lightly, they gently pushed the glass slag on the ground with the tips of their shoes, sneaked into the mall in the faint starlight, and reached out to grope for the shelves.

In fact, there were still a lot of things left on the shelves, but they were all useless dolls, stationery and the like, which could neither fill the stomach nor defend against the orcs, so they were abandoned here, and the ash on them fell several layers.

Billy picks up a rabbit doll and shakes it, the aged fabric breaks when he rubs it, and the filling inside bursts open, sticking to Billy's hand like a large deformed marshmallow.

He threw the doll away, and his stomach grunted, especially in the extremely quiet room.

"Damn ......"

He scolded in a low voice, the bowl of batter just now was not enough for the tall Billy, and after walking such a long way, his stomach was already empty at this time, and he could be said to be hungry.

But none of the things on the shelves could be put into his mouth, he went to Qi Yan's side in the dark, and found that Qi Yan's stomach was also screaming, but it was more subtle, not like thunder like him.

"You haven't eaten enough?"

Billy squatted beside the shelves with resentment, looked at Qi Yan who was still seriously looking for food, and couldn't help but say, "Seriously, I'll go to Boss Harvey to borrow a gun, let's go and grab the supplies of the homeless people much faster than looking for them ourselves, I don't want to starve to death here."

The shelves on Qi Yan's side are full of laundry detergent, clothes and fragrances, which are not only heavy but also take up space, and are probably the most useless things in the field.

Hunger can make people's emotions very unstable, Billy rubbed his fingers irritably, looked around to find Shu Yungui, and muttered, "Where did that kid go?"

"I'm here."

Shu Yungui's voice sounded on the shelf next door, Billy and Qi Yan came around and saw Shu Yungui carrying two slender sticks on his shoulders, looking intently at the things on the shelf, not knowing what he was studying.

"It's ...... Fishing rod?"

Qi Yan looked at the shelves, this was a row of shelves selling picnic tools, although the tent barbecue grill and other things on it had been emptied, there was still a row of fishing rods and hooks left and no one moved.

The fishing rod comes with its own packaging, even if in the past twenty years, the canvas bag on the outside has become as brittle as paper, but the fishing rod inside is still very new, Qi Yan picked up one casually and observed it carefully, and found that the elasticity of the material is still there, and the fishing rod can still be used normally.

Billy watched Shu Yungui put up all the fishing lines and hooks, and exclaimed, "You're not going to go fishing, are you?"

"It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, I remember that there is a branch of the Partington River flowing through the city of Fast on the map, and so many of us fish together, are we still worried that there is nothing to eat on the road? Just to Cooper City, we also have to walk along the Partington River, so we don't have to struggle for food supplies."

"Good way! Although it is difficult to find food on land, there is an abundance of produce in the water, so you can fish along the way, so you don't have to stop to find food."

Qi Yan and Shu Yungui hit it off, and Billy's opinion seemed irrelevant, and of course he didn't have any better opinions.

A few of them took their tackle and headed for the river, where it was dark and they could catch a bag before dawn if they were not too unlucky.

This branch river of Fast City flows into the Partington River from west to south, and the water level in the city center is the deepest, dividing the whole city of Fast into two, and a long section of embankment has been established on both sides, and there is a double-tower double-cable cable-stayed bridge above, Shu Yungui saw the foundation stone under the bridge, which reads "Ubin Bridge" four big characters.

Without his instructions, Qi Yan and Billy quickly set up the fishing rods, these fishing rods can be automatically reeled, only used to put a row on the side of the river embankment, no need to bother to manage, as long as you wait quietly for the fish to take the bait, the fishing rod will automatically reel in and drag the fish to the shore.

Billy stretched out after setting up the rod, he was tired, hungry and sleepy, and knew that he would not be able to eat the grilled fish for a while, so he found a sheltered place and lay down, ready to take a nap, and wait for dawn to get up again to receive the goods.

Under the bridge is always a gathering place for homeless people, and generally speaking, there will be some homeless people hiding here, but the embankment under the Ubin Bridge has a slope, and it is not easy for people to sleep, so the surroundings are quite clean, and there are no homeless people to see.

Billy tightened his clothes and lay down, the night breeze blowing across his cheeks and the back of his neck, and he turned his back to the river, breathing long in a few moments.

"Click, click......"

In the quiet of the night, in addition to the sound of rolling waves, the crisp sound of water droplets constantly rings in Billy's ears.

He irritably pulled up his collar and covered his ears, but the Ubin Bridge seemed to be a tofu scum project, and water was seeping out of nowhere, and the drops of water quickly dripped onto Billy's face.

"His uncle's!"

Billy closed his eyes and wiped his cheeks fiercely. The greasy, disgusting smell suddenly rushed into the nasal passages.

"Gross!"

He sat up suddenly, clutching his throat and about to vomit, the acid in his stomach was already up to his throat, but he was so frightened by the upside-down humanoid monster in front of him that he swallowed back.
