Tongfu City, suburb.

The undulating fields, vaguely visible in the vertical and horizontal outlines of the fields, have now all turned into barrenness.

Potholed roads weave their way across the field.

On the side of the road, the signboard that reads "Welcome to the People of Rongpu Town" is so broken that it can barely make out the handwriting.

Behind this badly corroded iron frame, there are still all kinds of large and small signs, some of which have fallen to the ground, some of which are hanging above abandoned shops, and some of which are still hanging on the balconies of shops with wisps of fabric, it is obvious that this is a deserted town.

Near the center of the town, the roof of an unfinished abandoned building is littered with rusty cranes, cables and other debris, and clumps of weeds have grown in the crevices.

The building is located next to the road, and from the top of the building, you can easily see the traffic at both ends of the town.

At the moment, the road was empty, and no one had passed by.

On the dusty floor, a clear line of footprints leads from the stairs to the edge.

Most of the blood stains on Zhou Zhen's head, face and hands have been wiped away, revealing his original appearance. It's just that the blood on his body and clothes hasn't had time to deal with it, and the whole person is wrapped in an obvious bloody gas.

Tao Nange stood beside him, because the previous ghost suit had been torn and could no longer be used, she was now wearing a green background white chiffon dress that Zhou Zhen took out from the [two-dimensional space], white board shoes, and long hair tied into a high ponytail, looking very fresh, like a beautiful girl who was still in school.

At this time, Zhou Zhen stood on the edge of the roof of the building, looking into the distance, in his field of vision, there was a faint energy mixed with several colors, which was approaching the building little by little.

Digital Domain, [Energy Observation]!

He immediately said, "Sister Nan, someone is coming." ”

"It should be a team, and there are 5 compatibles, but the energy intensity is only the 'first ladder' and 'second ladder'."

"Look at the speed, it should be seven or eight minutes later, and it will pass through here."

Tao Nange nodded and didn't say anything.

Zhou Zhen then turned around and walked towards the bottom of the building.

Step, step, step......

The sound of lonely footsteps echoed through the abandoned stairwell, and every now and then, particles of weathered concrete shattered and fell, rolling a series of wheels on the steps.

Zhou Zhen quickly walked out of the building and onto the road.

He was not familiar with the quarantine point in Tongfu City, but Tao Nange knew it very well.

It's just that now the nearest isolation point from them is about 1 hour away by car, and if you walk, the travel speed is too slow, but using the "digital domain" to rush will consume a lot of "digital energy", and the best choice is to get a car to travel.

While thinking about it, Zhou Zhen's face suddenly began to struggle.

The desperate desire to peep, the idea of secretly taking pictures, and the desire to make friends right away came to his mind at the same time.

It took a while for him to regain his composure.

Zhou Zhen breathed slightly, due to reaching the "third tier" and having one more drop of "digital rain", he didn't have to worry about the [protection mechanism] for the time being, but the side effects of using the "digital domain" still existed.

However, when he transfused Tao Nange blood last night, he used Chu Jingyan's "Digital Domain", but it did not trigger the corresponding side effects at that time.

This seems to be Chu Jingyan's limited time every time she comes out, and after the other party comes out of Tao Nange's body, it will no longer affect him in a short period of time.

After thinking about it, Zhou Zhen took out a jet-black submachine gun, loaded it with bullets, and was ready to stop the car.

The two didn't wait long before there was a movement of vehicles in front of them.

At the same time, in the field of vision, there was also a puff of dust and sand, and at the front of the dust, the silhouette of a convoy was rapidly driving towards the town.

It was a fleet of five modified vehicles, all but one of which were pickups.

The exterior of the five cars is dusty, and there is a bit of a tattered meaning of patching, the roof and carriage frame are heavy on firepower, the windows are equipped with metal grilles, and there are some special shooting holes for special firearms, which is obviously very experienced.

Zhou Zhen glanced at the convoy, immediately walked to the middle of the road, and stretched out his hand to block the way of the team.

He was not afraid of the convoy coming directly at him, and his "digital domain" [geometric barrier] did not have to worry about this problem at all.

If the team is more cautious, gives up contact with him, and turns around, he still has [overclocking interference], which can force all five cars to stop.

The sound of the engine as the car galloped from far and near, and some of the gravel on the ground had begun to shake slightly, and the team obviously saw Zhou Zhen and Tao Nange, and soon began to slow down.

Just when a pickup truck at the front of the convoy was still about 100 meters away from Zhou Zhen and Tao Nange, all five cars stopped and were staggered on the road.

Bang!

Soon, on the pickup truck at the front, a heavily armed middle-aged man pulled the car door and jumped down, the other party looked at Zhou Zhen, gestured to the convoy, and after waiting for a few seconds, it seemed that someone in the convoy responded, the middle-aged man held the wooden handle submachine gun on his chest, and strode towards Zhou Zhen.

At the same time, the windows of the convoy were lowered and the barrels of guns were sticking out; The heavily modified firepower in the pickup compartment also began to adjust its direction and angle, locking on Zhou Zhen one after another, and it seemed that he was ready for a conflict at any time.

Soon, the middle-aged man with a wooden-handled submachine gun came to a stop about 10 meters away from Zhou Zhen, and asked very vigilantly, "Who are you?" What do you want to do when you stop us? ”

Zhou Zhen glanced at him, the other party was of medium stature, wearing an earthy yellow training uniform, and his appearance belonged to the public face, but his eyes were resolute, although he was alert, he was not afraid, and he seemed to be very confident in his own strength, and immediately understood that this middle-aged man was one of the five compatible people in the team.

He wasted no time and said bluntly: "I want to buy a car." ”

The middle-aged man frowned and quickly asked, "What do you buy it for?" ”

Zhou Zhen was just about to answer, but Tao Nange had already lifted a heavy basket from the roadbed and walked over.

The basket looked solid, but it was also slightly deformed at the moment, filled with guns of various lengths, as well as ordinary bullets of various calibers.

These guns and bullets were all taken out by Zhou Zhen from the photos of [Two-Dimensional Space], and as for the baskets, they were picked up casually on the road.

Tao Nange walked up to Zhou Zhen and said lightly: "Pay attention, he has a bomb tied to him." ”

As she spoke, she threw the basket full of guns and bullets directly at the middle-aged man's feet.

Zhou Zhen nodded to Tao Nange, then looked at the middle-aged man and said, "These guns and bullets, in exchange for your car, do you want to change them?" ”

Seeing these guns and ammunition, the heavily armed middle-aged man's face suddenly softened a lot, he let go of the wooden handle submachine gun on his chest, immediately half-squatted down, and began to carefully inspect the guns and ammunition in the basket.

Click......

Bang bang......

Soon, the middle-aged man spot-checked more than a dozen guns in a row, and tested many bullets, and determined that the quality of these guns was very good, and the bullets did not do anything, so he nodded with satisfaction.

He stood up, looked at Zhou Zhen and nodded, and said, "You can change it." ”

After speaking, he reached out and took out a modified walkie-talkie from his waist, pressed the call button and said, "It's a gun dealer, come out with an empty car for him." ”

Hearing the word "gun dealer", the voice on the walkie-talkie suddenly relaxed: "Okay! ”

"! Say it early, scare Lao Tzu ......"

"That's it, inexplicably stopped on the road......"

"Okay, don't be verbose, hurry up and move things!"

As he spoke, a few more people from the convoy 100 meters away suddenly pulled the car door and jumped out, walked to a pickup truck at the back of the team, and began to carry the materials inside, as well as some of the firepower on the demolition vehicle.

At this time, the middle-aged man cut off the call on the walkie-talkie, stuffed the walkie-talkie back into his waist, took out a crumpled cigarette case, smoked two cigarettes from it, held one in his mouth, and threw the other at Zhou Zhen.

Zhou Zhen took the cigarette, but shook his head and said, "I don't smoke." ”

The middle-aged man took out a lighter and lit it for himself, took a deep breath, and spit out a puff of pale cyan smoke rings, before he said with a soothing expression: "You just came out and did it yourself, right?" ”

"If you've been in this kind of ghost place for a long time, even a woman will like this thing."

"People who don't like to smoke usually have too few things to experience and don't have so many worries."

"Still, we love to do business with newbies like you."

"Not to mention that things are cheap, and basically don't do anything."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhen glanced at Tao Nange, and saw that Tao Nange's expression was flat, and he didn't mean to smoke at all, so he immediately threw the cigarette back to the middle-aged man.

He replied calmly, "Thank you, but I don't need it yet." ”

As they spoke, an engine roar sounded in the convoy, and a pickup truck burst out of the line and drove towards them.

Crunch!

The pickup sped to the middle-aged man's side and stopped with a sudden brake.

The pickup looks almost as new as new, painted dark blue, and is relatively hidden in a dusty environment.

Almost all parts of it have been modified, and the windows have been added with a layer of metal mesh; The roof and carriage used to have heavy firepower, but now they have been removed, leaving only some of the supports; The tires are special explosion-proof; The body also has traces of steel plate reinforcement.

At this moment, a young man with short hair in a combat uniform jumped out of the driver's seat of a pickup truck, carrying an old-fashioned car key in his hand.

The young man with short hair looked at the guns and ammunition in the basket, and his eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at the middle-aged man who was smoking.

The middle-aged man nodded slightly, and the young short-haired man did not hesitate, and immediately threw the key to Zhou Zhen in the air, and said with a big grin: "The money and goods are clear, these guns and ammunition are all ours!" ”

Zhou Zhen grabbed the car key, looked at the two people who handed over the car, and suddenly understood that his price was too high!

A pickup truck with all the heavy firepower dismantled by Sanchengxin can't be exchanged for this basket of guns and ammunition!

Before the transaction, he actually consulted Tao Nange.

But Tao Nange doesn't know much about the price market here. After all, when she used to enter high-risk cities, she rarely needed to trade at the quarantine point, and even if she did, she did not use her own materials, but local materials......

It's as if when they first entered Tongfu City, they bought information and water from the Xiuhu Group......

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen said calmly: "We also need a batch of food and drinking water. ”

The two people in the convoy did not hesitate, and the middle-aged man immediately took out the walkie-talkie again and ordered, "Send some more water and food." ”

Soon, another pickup truck drove over, and a burly man stepped out of the car, and without hesitation, quickly took out a box of drinking water and a box of compressed food from the car, and put them all on the ground.

The middle-aged man who was smoking a cigarette smiled and asked, "Is this enough?" ”

Zhou Zhen looked at Tao Nange, and Tao Nange nodded.

Zhou Zhen immediately responded: "Enough! ”

As he spoke, he walked over and loaded the water and food onto the pickup he had bought.

At this time, Tao Nange also walked to the pickup truck and began to carefully check the status of the car.

It may be because of the high-risk city, this pickup truck has no sense of technology, the steering wheel, the central control and the like are all decent, or manual transmission, all operations need to be manual, not even navigation.

Not long after, Tao Nange opened the door of the main driver, sat in, skillfully ignited, fumbled on the dashboard for a while, immediately lowered the window, and told Zhou Zhen: "The vehicle is in normal condition, and I didn't do anything." ”

Zhou Zhen nodded slightly, he had already loaded all the supplies into the car, and there was nothing else to do, so he also opened the co-pilot's door and sat in.

Seeing that the three people in the convoy were still standing and looking at him, he lowered the window and said goodbye politely, Tao Nange started the car and quickly drove away.

The pickup truck kicked up a puff of dust and disappeared along the highway into the abandoned buildings.

Looking at this familiar pickup truck as it drove farther and farther, the middle-aged man, the young man with short hair, and the burly man who finally brought the water stood in place, and their expressions became very strange for a while.

"How can this new pistol dealer be able to drive while sitting in the passenger seat?"

"I don't know, maybe his 'digital domain' is special."

"He dares to trade with us alone, the 'digital ladder' is definitely not low, and we will leave quickly!"

Speaking of this, the three of them immediately moved a basket of guns and ammunition to the pickup truck that had just driven over to deliver food and water.

The convoy quickly reunited and set off again.

The way they advanced was the same as the direction Zhou Zhen had left just now.

Dust and sand drifted from the highway once again, briefly breaking the silence in the abandoned building.

Under the gray sky, the vehicle moved like ants on the winding road, and soon moved away.

There was a dead silence again.

When the wind passes, the weeds shake gently, and the sound is silent.
