Data Wasteland

Eleven hours after discovering the abnormal movement of the corpse king...

The wilderness at four o'clock in the morning is cold and dark. This is a typical Gobi climate with a very large temperature difference between day and night.

Compared with the coastal areas or areas with heavier rainfall, the northern wilderness is located in the middle of the northern red soil continent, far from the ocean, there are no rivers, and it is dry and less rainy. The geology is mostly sand and rock, and the heat cannot be stored in the humid air. The heat comes and goes fast.

It is the coldest from three in the morning until sunrise, and it can reach sub-zero temperature even in summer.

In the cold moonlight, a dark shadow broke out of the ground. After a short wait and see, he crawled slowly against the ground. The black carapace and the night merged into one, and only the tiny feet below could be seen dancing fast.

This is a red earth black scorpion, and the toxin on its tail can bring down a lion. Of course, there will be no such creatures as lions in the wasteland. During the cataclysm, the lions have been extinct, and only the insectized wolves covered in thick carapace are left, there are living dead wandering around and tanks flying in the sky—— Sickle beetle.

Most creatures in the wasteland are not afraid of toxins. The stings of black scorpions are mainly reserved for humans and gerbils.

Gerbils are the most common creatures in the wasteland. They feed on the rhizomes of sand pears. The adult weighs seven or eight kilograms. It is enough to hunt a gerbil to eat a black scorpion for several months.

Suddenly, bright lights shot on the horizon in the distance. The black scorpion stopped alertly, and soon the ground began to vibrate, and the small sand bounced around.

The roar of the engine is from far to near, and the black scorpion's IQ is very low. When encountering unknown danger, it will only stop in place and raise its tail for alert.

"Fuck!"

The light of the xenon lamp became stronger and stronger, and the huge wheel ran over it, splashing a cloud of green slurry mixed with sand.

Before long, another convoy came from another direction, and the last two convoys converged. The composition of the convoy was very similar. At the head were two military jeeps, followed by seven or eight sand trucks, and then more than a dozen large trucks covered with tarpaulins.

The speed of the car slowly dropped, and the two military jeeps at the head gradually moved closer together and moved side by side.

A row of headlights was refitted on the top of the Jeep, the front passenger seat was removed, and an armrest was added above the windshield. This is a typical command vehicle for the local garrison. The top officer is standing in the co-pilot and commanding the entire team.

At this time, the officers of the two convoys were all standing, wearing neat school uniforms and large brimmed military caps, and several medals of invisible material were scattered on their chests. The military emblem on the hat is a red dragon rolled into a circle with a small shield in the middle. This is the symbol of the local garrison of the Red Dragon Principality and is called the "Red Dragon Shield."

The Principality’s garrison consisted of two crossed swords, called the "Red Dragon Sword Emblem." Shield means resisting foreign enemies and defending, while sword means conquering the enemy and attacking.

The two chiefs are both middle-aged men, one is slightly fat and the other is slightly slender.

"Mayor Ambisi, don't be unharmed. Why does your hair look thinner than when we last met? Is there too much upset you have recently encountered, and your hair is almost falling out of worry? Whenever it is difficult, you can talk to my old friend, hahaha!"

The tall and thin man said with a smile, ostensibly caring, but in fact mocked the other party's baldness and the mess at home.

"Mayor Bert, thank you for your concern. I have had a good time recently, my wife is virtuous, and my children are filial. It's you, a lonely family, in case one day high blood pressure, cerebral hemorrhage, paralysis on the bed, no one to take care of. what should I do?"

The mayor of Ambisi looked sympathetic. He was ridiculing the other party's loneliness and no offspring. Mayor Bert is a few years older than him. He has never married a wife and had children because Mayor Bert has high requirements for the quality of life. The wine needs to drink well-worn sea monster red wine, the meat needs to eat snowflakes and beef, and even the bread is made. The wheat is imported from the Western Continent, and the taxes in the fringe towns can only maintain his own quality of life.

A good vintage Siren red wine may cost hundreds or even thousands of gold coins. Wagyu is a edible cow specially bred in the central wilderness of New Edo. He listens to music and drinks beer from an early age. There is also a personal massage. Snow beef is The most expensive part of wagyu beef costs hundreds of gold coins per kilogram, plus the transportation cost of airdrops, the price can be imagined.

Mayor Bert also has a special hobby, that is, he likes to eat roast duck. He eats a fresh roast duck every day, and he also opened a pond near the small castle where he lives to raise a large group of ducks.

The marginal towns are already short of water and consume so much water, naturally other crops cannot be planted. Roast Duck Town was not originally called Roast Duck Town, because the specialty was roast duck, everyone was called Shunkou, Mayor Bert had to follow the wishes of the people and changed the name of the town.

Ambici and Burt have different values. One cares about the future of the family and the other cares about the quality of life. Therefore, there are often frictions when meeting each other, which damages each other.

Mayor Burt picked up his nose and snorted coldly, "You don't need to worry about it. With this idle time, it's better to worry about your little boys!" There was a bit of joking in the voice, "I heard you Isn’t it true that the eldest daughter eloped with a passing poor mercenary?"

It's true that which pot is not opened and which pot is to be lifted. Ambici was trembling with anger, but did not have an attack on the spot, but deliberately said lightly, "You are all hearsay, pure nonsense, that's not a poor boy, the house belongs to the Dragon City. Nothing else, it’s just a lot of money. They love each other sincerely, and my daughter has the support, so I’m relieved as a dad.” He changed his tone, and his tone became a little taunting, “I heard you some time ago. I have gout again, I can't even walk, and I'm groaning with a cane. I have long advised you not to eat too much roast duck because it has high uric acid..."

Mayor Bert's face was ashen. He kept this secret very well, but he didn't expect that the other party knew about it. He must have sent an undercover agent to secretly monitor it nearby.

He wondered if he had to clean it up when he went back, and he found out the guy who missed the letter, so he called his mother.

The two broke each other a few more words, and then got back to business. After all, they were here to fight, which had too much influence on cooperation.

"Is Mayor Chen Da here?" Mayor Bert asked.

The two mayors consciously added the word "大" when calling Chen Xing to distinguish each other's status to show their respect.

In this world, the rich is the master. They have also benefited from the large-scale development of Lanhua Town. If you want to develop in the future, you will have to rely on money. For example, Bert planned to persuade Chen Xing to set up a duck farm in Lanhua Town, and make the roast duck business in Monitor Lizard City, even the Ambergris River Basin, and even the whole world.

Ambisi heard that Chen Xing wanted to build a corpse processing plant, so a dozen surrounding towns would transport the corpses here, reducing the transportation cost to Longshi Town. Ambisi also wants to participate in a share, so that one more stable income.

"Chen Dazheng is strong and strong, and the preparation time must be longer than us." Ambisi said very considerately.

As he was talking, the car lights came on in the distance. After a while, the new team joined the team.

There are not many vehicles in this convoy, only five or six vehicles, all painted with the black snake logo.

"Two adults, the Black Snake Brigade is here to report. If you have any needs, please give your orders." The Black Snake clasped his fists and said to the two mayors.

The Black Snake Brigade has been entrenched here for many years. It is based in the middle of Roast Duck Town and Beauty Town, and monopolizes the **** business of the corpse transporters in the surrounding three towns. Now that the corpse king is attacking, he naturally has to make a contribution, otherwise he won't even think about doing business in the future.

The reason why the three towns did not touch his interests was to raise more forces and help each other when needed.

"My lord, you have arrived at the scheduled combat location, please order to stop."

"The reconnaissance team is here to report that the corpse king is about 50 kilometers away, at a speed of 23 kilometers per hour, and it is expected to arrive in two hours."

The convoy is separated from the left and right and parked in a straight line. The truck’s tarp opened, soldiers and mechas

Get off the truck and start building fortifications.

After half an hour, the line of defense was laid out, and on a higher mound, the three chiefs met again.

"Mayor Chen Da hasn't come yet?" Mayor Bert asked worriedly.

Among the three towns, Lanhua Town is the richest and the most abundant. If Chen Xing does not come, although they can also win, the loss will definitely be very large.

"Don't worry, Mayor Chen Da agreed personally." Mayor Ambisi said, patting his chest.

After another half an hour, even the mayor of Ambisi was a little shaken, the motorcade of Lanhua Town finally appeared on the horizon.

At the same time, a hint of whiteness appeared on the horizon. At ten past five o'clock, it was dawn.

A domineering bus ran ahead in the forefront, and the paint on the car body shone brightly in the morning sun.

"Gypsy caravan!" Mayor Bert couldn't help sighing, "Mayor Chen Da is really rich."

The off-road bus custom-produced by Gypsy Caravan Three-Phase Heavy Industry has a titanium alloy body and a sixteen-cylinder engine. It is known as the "wilderness mobile hotel". The interior decoration is simple and luxurious. It is a standing vehicle for the family to walk in the wilderness.

This car is Chen Xing seized the trophy of the Yang family in Gray Point City and repainted it.

More than 20 sand trucks and trucks followed behind the bus, rushing to the position in a mighty manner. Trucks and dune buggies spread out, a shoulder anti-cannon and dune camels came down from above, and two twelve-man squads of soldiers were all driving locomotives.

Compared with the rusty and old mechas and the white-washed military uniforms, it is simply the difference between the regular army and the miscellaneous army.

"Sorry, I overslept."

The bus drove to the top of the soil slope, and Chen Xing got off the car. The three people present quickly said that it didn't care, it didn't matter.

Compared with the three-party forces that are waiting in full battle, Chen Xing is wearing casual clothes, followed by a housekeeper and a maid behind him, which makes people wonder whether he is here for war or outing.

Sure enough, the maids began to decorate the roof of the car, spread checkered cloth, and put coffee and snacks on it.

The three of them were stunned. This guy is really here for a picnic. Anyhow, the corpse king is also a lord-level existence.

At the invitation of Chen Xing, the three looked at each other and crashed onto the roof of the car. Chen Xing sat casually. A maid held an umbrella for him, another beat his back, and another fanned him. The old housekeeper was in charge of pouring coffee for the guests.

When Mayor Ambisi saw Moon Canglian, his whole body was stunned. After a few seconds of loss of consciousness, he reacted and quickly looked away.

He liked beauties the most in his life. He thought he had seen a lot of beauties, but he had never seen such a delicate and beautiful person. Not only that, but the other party turned out to be a low-ranking maid. If it were him, he would have held it in the palm of his hand long ago as a baby, so how could she be willing to let her do this kind of rough work.

What he didn’t know was that, as the most outstanding leader of the Maid Academy in the past two decades, he saw the dazzling existence wherever the moon blue lotus was placed, not to mention his little lord of the country, even the prince of Ice Blue The nobles are all envious.

But just such a halo of countless people, at this moment, is dedicated to fanning for the master. That serious and pious appearance is like doing a very important thing, and there can be no sloppy.

Mayor Ambisi’s mood can no longer be described with envy, he is simply doubting life.

On the other hand, Mayor Burt was also shocked and speechless. Chen Xing gave them coffee specially provided by the Malan royal family. This kind of coffee can only be bought through special channels, usually sold by the gram, but Chen Xing makes a big pot with one brew.

But even Chen Xing didn't know about this. The coffee was given to him by Yeyang Bailiu when he went to Crow Market last time. At that time, he didn't pay much attention to the two boxes full of wine and tea.
