Indescribable cyberpunk

The journey to Anling City did not have many twists and turns. Except for the roar of gunfire caused by the occasional monster appearing near the track, Zhu Jue spent most of the time as a bystander listening to the surrounding gold diggers talking about their gold mining. Various things that happened during the process.

For nearly three hours, Zhu Jue watched groups of people getting off the bus in the cities they passed, looking for the "treasure" of their dreams.

There is a professional team among them, which is not only well-organized and fully armed, but also has a detailed plan. The goal has been set as early as on the fortress train.

There are also "newcomers" who have just joined this gold rush wave. They are holding cheap weapons that are badly worn and bought through some special underground channels. They just listen to the stories of the so-called "predecessors" who got rich overnight. Experience, eyes full of envy and longing.

As everyone knows, even if you get rich overnight, you still have to have the ability to continue it.

Of course, these things had nothing to do with Zhu Jue. He had no interest in reminding those greedy people. He just sat quietly in the carriage and listened to their discussion. After hearing the mention of Anling City on the radio, he silently held the Mikazuki Taito. Stand guard at the door.

There are not many people who choose to get off in Anling City.

On the one hand, because this area is relatively close to Anqing Prefecture, quite a few cities in the surrounding area were emergency evacuation zones back then, so it is easy to find good things.

On the other hand, a considerable number of them are still heading to other cities in Anqing Prefecture.

Yecheng is too dangerous, and the high mortality rate has deterred these gold diggers, but the danger in its surrounding areas is between level C to level B. As long as you are well prepared and add some luck, there is no doubt that The rewards of this trip will far exceed those of other teams.

Sometimes it's like this, watching other people making a lot of money, there's always someone who wants to imitate.

Putting personal safety behind, he rushed towards the imaginary treasure.

When leaving the train station, Zhu Jue saw that some teams had asked people from Anling City to prepare vehicles and supplies in advance. They drove away without stopping at the station and headed straight to their destination in Anqing Prefecture.

This time it seemed that Zhu Jue was very unprofessional. He stood alone at the entrance of the station, watching those obviously specially modified off-road vehicles driving away one after another. He soon discovered that there were many more near the station. For vehicles that provide pick-up and drop-off services in dangerous areas, someone specially hangs a fluorescent sign on the side window, which says that they can take people to certain places in the dangerous areas outside Anling City.

Of course, the asking price is not low.

Most of the owners of these cars are locals in Anling City. They know that these gold diggers coming here on the fortress train cannot have transportation, so they come here in advance to wait, saving time for the gold diggers. Just driving around in your car can earn you thousands of federal dollars, which is close to what ordinary people earn from a month's work.

And the vehicles that Zhu Jue just saw that were well prepared are actually the first batch of experienced drivers here who discovered business opportunities. Their combat capabilities may not be very good, but they rely on their knowledge of the terrain and routes in dangerous areas. With their familiarity and the reputation accumulated over a long period of time, they have developed into "special cars". If you want to hire them, you have to pay a high price. You can often earn tens of thousands in just one trip. Even among the gold mining teams, they are quite popular. fame.

"I shouldn't be in the car~I should be under the car~"

Humming a strange tune that suddenly appeared in his mind, Zhu Jue found a reliable-looking military green off-road vehicle and approached it.

"Where are you going, friend? This car of mine has been specially modified. No matter where you are, as long as you pay, I can take you there in the center of Yecheng! Pick-up and drop-off are included!"

The person in the driver's seat was a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses and a sunhat. When he saw Zhu Jue appearing at the window, he patted his chest and said.

"That's a good feeling. I just want to go to the center of Yecheng. Let's go. Why can't you open the car door?"

When Zhu Jue heard that there was someone who could arrange pick-up and drop-off in the central area of ​​Yecheng, he immediately prepared to get on the bus.

However, when he grasped the door handle, the car door was locked.

"Friend, you really want to go to the central area of ​​Yecheng, are you crazy?"

The driver was also helpless. What he just said was just a pretense, but he actually met a stupid young man.

Yes, Zhu Jue's current image in his eyes is not much different from those guys who pop up every once in a while and want money or life. All he can think about is whether everything in Yecheng has not been raided. resources, completely forgetting the A-level label affixed to that area by the Archaeological Association.

"Hey, you said you could go to the central area of ​​Yecheng, and you included pick-up and drop-off. Then you opened the door, are you deceiving consumers?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Don't talk about the central area of ​​Yecheng. Ask the people around here who dares to go near Yecheng. We want to take risks and make a fortune, but we don't go to the Palace of Hell. Isn’t it like digging out gems from the pillars?”

If nothing else, the comparison made by the car owner is quite appropriate.

"I go!"

Zhu Jue was startled by the crisp sound coming from the side, and the driver in the car also had a stiff expression.

Is there really anyone who is not afraid of death?

The two of them turned their heads at the same time and saw a woman wearing a mechanic's uniform with two thumb-thick iron chains hanging across her body.

"How much will you pay if I go to Yecheng?"

The hand wearing gray-brown labor protection gloves pushed up the mechanical glasses on her head. The woman looked at Zhu Jue with her waist in her hands and asked directly.

"How much do you want?"

"It's 30,000 yuan to go, 20,000 yuan to come back, and I can only send you to a bus stop outside Yecheng and wait for you there all night!"

"make a deal!"

As long as he could return to Yecheng, Zhu Jue would naturally not be short of money, so he nodded in agreement without hesitation.

The woman who thought she would have to bargain a bit was at a loss when she heard that the other party agreed so readily. You must know that the price she offered was the most expensive here.

"A madman, a fool!"

The middle-aged man leaned back on his seat and sighed helplessly.

Zhu Jue followed the woman towards her car. When he saw its true form, even Zhu Jue could not help but widen his eyes.

"As we all know, mental pollution monsters do not accept any form of negotiation. As long as they are caught, the only result is death. Moreover, their attack power can easily break through even bulletproof steel armor. So in my concept, I want To avoid those monsters as much as possible, our vehicles should pursue the ultimate speed. My car has been specially modified and discarded all burdens. It has a streamlined body, an extremely low chassis, and a built-in multiple spliced ​​engine."

"Multiple spliced ​​engines?"

Zhu Jue looked at the half-exposed engine in front of him, which was obviously an old engine assembled from various parts. As a car blind man, he finally fully understood the structure of an engine for the first time. He smacked his lips and continued,

"I understand the truth. Are you going to drive me to Yecheng in a car that is ventilated from all sides and looks like a moving coffin?"

That's right, the khaki-colored Buggy with the scientific name "Bengbeng" loaded with a "multiple spliced ​​engine" is the other party's car.

Zhu Jue swallowed. He suddenly felt that if he took this car on the road, he didn't know whether he would be in danger from a mental pollution monster. The possibility of being murdered by the female driver was quite high.

half an hour later

The engine roared wildly with some strange noises. Zhu Jue sat in the back seat of the car, holding his knees with his hands, staring at the driver of the car behind him.

"S-H-I-T!"

Zhu Jue, who really couldn't control his swearing, began to regret why he spent money to make himself suffer.

However, when the car actually left Anling City, Zhu Jue unexpectedly discovered that the car was not as bad as he thought. It had flexible steering and good off-road capabilities. In addition, it was indeed light and not slow at all. This female driver, who had seemed a bit unreliable before, seemed to know some ways to take shortcuts. She would often deviate from the road and rely on the narrow car body to pass through some wild trails, which could save a lot of time.

"Ivanka, why are you going to Yecheng?"

After driving for more than two hours, and probably feeling bored, the female driver named Linda suddenly asked.

"Treasure hunt."

Zhu Juezheng was exercising his abilities by making ice cubes of various shapes and responded casually.

"Impossible. I've never seen anyone go fishing for gold with just a knife. You don't even have a backpack. I just heard you say you want to go to the central area? Yecheng is very dangerous!"

Linda has met many gold diggers, and even those who don't know anything know that they need to prepare a good backpack when going out to hunt for gold, otherwise there will be no place to store even if they find any good things.

"So you should also know that it's dangerous nearby, so why do you dare to take me there?"

Deliberately changing the subject, Zhu Jue was also a little curious about Linda's intentions. He had great strength, but this woman without any weapons actually chose Yecheng as her destination without changing her expression.

"With fifty thousand federal coins plus my previous savings, I can leave Anling City and go to Dawn City to fight for my life, so what? In this era, what's the point of living without money?"

Linda's answer was quite powerful.

"I wish you success."

"You haven't told me why you went to Yecheng."

"Didn't I just say that we are treasure hunting?"

Throwing a piece of diamond-shaped ice crystal, cutting off the branches of the passing bush, and watching it go away with the wind, Zhu Jue whispered,

"I have a very important treasure that was lost in the central area of ​​Yecheng. I have to find it, no matter how dangerous it is there."

"Lost? Are you a resident of Yecheng?"

Guessing Zhu Jue's identity from his words, Linda asked with some surprise.

"Well, I haven't been back for several years."

Approaching Yecheng, Zhu Jue was worried about gains and losses. Looking at the gloomy sky where some clouds had accumulated just now, his mood suddenly became a little low.

In just a few hours, the rain clouds formed by dawn arrived at Anqing Mansion.

He was frozen for five years.

Is it still there?
