Chapter 1440 Nomura Buys a Car and Goes to the Big City
Not long after nightfall, Kane came to 'Bonfire 47'.
This is a place name, which can be understood as the name of a settlement with the characteristics of this world and this era.
Settlements are smaller than natural villages, usually only a dozen to dozens of households.
Campfire Camp No. 47 has less than 30 households, consisting of two families and some wanderers with a more scattered organizational structure.
After coming to Campfire 47, the first thing Kane visited was the garbage spot.
Household garbage, as well as cleaned and accumulated construction waste, are piled together to form a simple but solid-walled garbage dump like a warehouse without a roof.
It's not because the people at Campfire 47 are hardworking and motivated, but because the sandstorms in this area are very sharp. If you don't want to live too much, or have a tragedy of being injured or killed by the garbage rolled up by the strong wind, you have to live carefully, even if this The human civilization in the world already has the decadent demeanor of a wasteland civilization.
The dim light swept over, the matter decomposed, and Kane deconstructed and reduced it to raw materials from the molecular level, and then reorganized.
In just a short while, Kane had an extra high bionic coat. This coat makes him like the protagonist in "Big Man with Great Wisdom", transforming from a thin and handsome young man into a muscular and strong man.
Kane did this for three main reasons.
1. Do as the Romans do, this highly bionic coat has all kinds of forged joint lines on the surface, making the overall body look like it is composed of modules.
2. To provide protection, high-level strengthening is not achieved overnight, but a repetition of staged strengthening and adaptation. Therefore, in the early stage, it is still relatively fragile.
3. To save money and maintain the operation of the law system, mysterious elements need to be consumed, and there is a minimum consumption.
Adjusting the output to 1/100,000, as well as making such foreign objects, can be regarded as throttling operations, which are much more energy-efficient than using extraordinary power or lawful power to achieve the purpose of protection. As for open source, there is no clue yet.
About a quarter of an hour later, Kane, dressed in 'cool', walked into the bar of Campfire 47.
Each of these camps will have a bar, just like there will be a bonfire square. This is a custom, a tradition, and also expresses a belief that being convenient to others is the belief in being kind to yourself.
But Cohen and his granddaughter left from here.
In addition to the faith of the first builders of the campfire camp, which has gradually become outdated with the passage of time, there is also the ignorance of Ke En's grandson and grandson.
He has been so destitute that his survival is unsustainable, but he still adheres to the old dogma, insists on maintaining the integrity of his body, and refuses to sell his organs.
From a certain point of view, this is simply a mockery of the world where prosthetic bodies are popular, slapping everyone who uses prosthetic bodies in the face.
Being so 'noble', so out of tune with others, and of little value, is naturally not liked by people.
Especially in this kind of settlement where the internal operation is extremely difficult, except for infants and young children, even small children can't eat idle food and can't afford to support them.
Kane said that he was not here to eat, but to give money, or in other words, he wanted to spend a lot.
"It's a bad year, I finally understand that money is a bastard, earn it after you spend it!" Kane broke into the bar carelessly, and Kane, who had a stagnant atmosphere in the bar, took the electronic card on the shabby but So said the polished wooden bar.
The bartender glanced up and down at Kane, then at the skull tattoo on his upper left arm, calmly picked up the electronic card, showed it for a second, and then inserted it in front of everyone. Special equipment was installed, and the display device was still on the side, so that Kane and the drinkers next to him could see it.
This is a relatively simple means of preventing fraud.
Take a useless card and talk nonsense about 'how can I have no money in my card', this kind of trick is always performed several times a year.
'drop! ’ After a sound, the balance was displayed, 97,000, with some odds and some wholes.
The bartender was a little surprised.
The other hand that was touching the gun under the counter withdrew.
Don't look at Kane's empty hands, but such a big man can hide disasters very well, such as built-in arm guns and praying mantis knives, there are so many tricks he can play.
The bartender just didn't expect Kane to be tampering with the electronic card.
Humanity has turned the old internet into a digital wasteland, as it was full of self-aware viruses and trap programs controlled by renegade AI.
Coupled with the decline of civilization caused by war and other reasons, the current situation is a bit like the era when the earth's Internet was in the ascendant. The popularity of network terminals was not bad, but after all, it was in the ascendant. Camps like Campfire 47 did not have such terminals. Encrypted electronic point cards are used.
—————
The encryption method of the point card has naturally passed the joint test of the virus and the rebel AI. Even the top companies at the same level are unable to crack each other's point card encryption system, and ordinary people naturally cannot.
But when I met Kane, I could only admit that I was unlucky.
"Aren't you going to buy all the bars?" the bartender asked half-jokingly.
"Can I buy the guys at the bar a round?"
"Sorry, here with us, only true friends can invite each other to drink. You don't count for now." The bartender didn't mind expressing a closed and xenophobic attitude. Although it is less than 100 meters away from this settlement, there is a state road overgrown with grass, but it is still usable.
"Then I need a car, two sets of clothes that fit, a gun, and live here for three or five days, can you arrange it?"
The bartender nodded, "Then you have found the right person."
Kane said in his heart: "Of course I knew I was looking for the right person. It is clearly written in Cohen's memory. The bar is the reception station of the bonfire camp, and the bartender is the receptionist. If you approach other people at will, you will either break the taboo or cause trouble." Get into trouble, including being tricked and there is no way to reason."
In this way, Kane settled down at Campfire 47.
In fact, outsiders like him who can spend a lot of money without asking questions, who are either sleeping or soaking in bars are quite welcome here.
I don't ask around here and there, in addition to ensuring that the private life of the people here will not be disturbed, and more importantly, preventing intelligence from being spied on.
The trick that sand bandits often play is to send someone who looks like Kaizi to spend a little time, find out the manpower and defense of the camp, and then take advantage of the sandstorm to cooperate with the inside and outside, and ruthlessly ransack it.
But on the other hand, a settlement like the bonfire camp cannot be completely self-sufficient, so vigilant communication with the outside world has become a must.
As for Kane, he came in the normal way, and the guard who let him in made a little extra money for it, and got praise from the rest of the camp.
After all, privately modifying cars and guns is a very profitable business. Especially the cars, those cars that were almost reduced to scrap iron before the war can be changed into a car that is comparable in appearance to the wasteland chariot of the bosozoku in "Mad Max", and its performance is even better. It can be seen that these How strong is the traditional craftsmanship of the wanderer families that make up the settlement.
Kane ended up buying just such a sports car they modified.
The Hummer Mod was sold with 70,000 points because it was not equipped with vehicle-mounted weapons, nor did it have liquid nitrogen acceleration and other devices, and the comfort was not good.
As for strength, Kane opted for the retro-constructed but reliable enough Colt Python Super Edition.
Of course, there is no Colt brand in this world, but there is such a classic structure as a revolver. The so-called super version is an oversized pistol with a caliber of 15MM.
Every time you shoot, there is a sense of déjà vu of using a Thunder.50 pistol code-named Thunder.
In this era when using prosthetics, there is almost no need to consider recoil, it is undoubtedly applicable and cool.
Especially with Kane's current big man, there is a kind of demeanor that the governor and the desert eagle became famous when they complemented each other.
Apart from cars and guns, there is nothing to say. Kane settled here to make himself more down-to-earth, and to have a past background that he can barely talk about.
The skull knife tattoo on his upper left arm represents a huge homeless family active in this land, the Black Death Society, whose name is quite middle school, but the conditions for joining and quitting are very loose, and of course the benefits of joining the group are also Very limited, with mixed membership.
If you have a car, a gun, and a family, you can get along on the road.
Just as Kane was about to leave Campfire 47, the bartender introduced him to a business.
"Running goods to the city, the oil and water are not bad, but you need to gamble on luck, do you want to do it?"
"Where do you need to gamble? Security check?"
"Yes, if Customs is not satisfied with bribes, there will be trouble."
"It means that the person who placed this business is a new family from Ocean City?"
"That's right, the backstage business is hard, and you won't find runners from the bonfire camp. How about it? Are you interested?"
"Of course, I'm planning to go to Ocean City to see if I can get ahead." …
So that afternoon, Kane met his task partner, Erica from the family who buried her love.
Kane felt that the bottom human beings in this world had probably given up on the path of knowledge changing their destiny. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so embarrassing to name one or two.
However, this Erica's appearance, temperament, and attire are not too eye-catching, and even suit his appetite.
Appearance is easy to handle in this world, but temperament is more difficult. Homeless organizations like the Black Death Society and the Burial Love Family can not be so murderous, and he is already satisfied with the temperament of a little girl. Now This is actually quite feminine, whether it's real or fake, at least it's not uncomfortable to watch, and it's fine if it doesn't show up.
After a brief greeting, it was time to load and set off.
Kane can feel that Erica doesn't call him, and he doesn't know whether it's because he doesn't like his model, or because of his work style when he is out on missions, or because the family members who bury their loved ones are like their family names, and they all have their own uniqueness. Goofy stories, and disdain for the opposite sex.
That's actually pretty good, Kane thought.
He hasn't used his lower body to think about problems for a long time. There is absolutely no need for that.
On such a basis, his tolerance for women will not be much higher than that of men. If he really meets a current mother, or a vine attribute, he feels that he will be annoyed.
The journey went smoothly, and I met a few cars ahead, and they all behaved well, looking like they were indifferent to the world.
Seeing that it was not far from the customs in Ocean City, when Kane was enjoying himself and thinking about whether to play Guo Dasen's cool driver in {Very Human Trafficker}, he kept punching the car window with one elbow all the time Erika, who was in the chin resting position, suddenly spoke:
"Are you good at negotiating?"
"Very average." Kane added in his heart: "I'm very good at condescending conversations that make others obey."
"Then are you good at shooting?"
"Look at this cultural literacy..." Kane complained in his heart that he couldn't even say "shooting", nodded and said: "Pretty accurate."
Erica said nothing more.
Soon, the customs arrived, and it looked like an armed toll booth. Not only were there armed men with live ammunition near the driveway, but there were also bipedal weapons.
These two-legged weapons have a tank turret-like weapon platform. There is no artillery on the front, a box-type rocket launch slot on one side, a small rail gun on the other side, and a rotary cannon on the top.
Kane also noticed that there was a nest of magnetic levitation towers for deploying drones nearby.
This kind of armament is indeed more than enough to deal with an armed vehicle.
As for the non-customs border line, it is composed of huge laser fences. It's not difficult to understand when you think about it, there are even miniature antimatter power furnaces, and the mainstream energy source is at least a higher level of cold fusion than controllable nuclear fusion. This kind of protective wall is indeed used.
'Drive your vehicle to the inspection area. '
Kane noticed. The synthetic voice of the customs did not use honorifics, and the tone was also cold.
Obviously, these are citizens under the big government, who don't even bother to carry out projects that look warm on the surface, lest the ruled have unrealistic fantasies.
‘Stay in the vehicle, security checks are about to begin. '
The car stopped in the area indicated by the light projection, and a synthetic voice came out.
Then the equipment on the metal walls on both sides moves up and down in the track to scan.
After a while, the synthesized voice sounded again, 'Owners of vehicles in the inspection area need to accept further inquiries. '
Well, this is not surprising at all, the next step is the key, whether the customs will finish with the offering, or eat it together with the tribute and the goods.
Erica got out of the car to negotiate, and a few minutes later, she came out with a cold face and asked to drive.
The meaning is obvious, Erica is not optimistic about this negotiation, and I am afraid that I will have to deal with black and white.
"After receiving the tribute, you still want to trouble us. Is it because the quality of the goods is too good, or because we are easy to bully?" Kane asked with a smile after moving his buttocks to the passenger seat.
'boom! ’ Erica slammed the door shut and replied, “It should be a little bit.”
"Then what do you think?"
"What do you mean?" Erica asked back.
At this time, the ground wall has been lowered below the surface, and Erica puts the gas in gear, and the car rushes out.
Kane said: "Although my car is not a good product, it doesn't even have liquid nitrogen to accelerate, but I am very fond of it. If someone uses my car as a target, I will not agree. And if you are willing If you add more money, that greedy security inspector can also die."
Erica glanced at Kane: "Are you okay?"
Kane grinned, but said nothing.
Erica turned her head and stared at Kane seriously for two seconds, then continued driving. After a few seconds, she made a decision. "Then let them know that our funeral family is not easy to mess with!"
Kane chuckled, and said in his heart, "Actually, I'm not easy to mess with, very badly..."
