Chapter 93 Chapter 111 Hard Journey-112 Human life is worthless, but the yard is valuable

Chapter 111 Hard Journey (3rd update)

Qu Jianlei and the other two didn't know that the small team that was expelled had been waiting outside for them for most of the day.

Bentley might have thought of it, but he didn't care-want to wrestle with the modified warriors, so he prepared a few mechas?

Anyway, most people avoided them along the way, but occasionally they would be tempted.

It's just that most of these tempting people didn't dare to attack without saying a word-what if the heavy truck belonged to a big force?

So choosing a heavy truck to travel still reduced a lot of trouble.

But even so, there will still be those who are blind. No matter what society, there is always a shortage of people who take risks.

In the wasteland, there are more such red-eyed people.

What makes them depressed is that after several battles, they actually lost money.

Even Bentley couldn't help but curse, "Damn, you want to ambush a heavy truck with a broken gun and a few fire bows?"

"With this kind of IQ, it's better to make human meat buns for the fallen."

After walking for almost a month, the three finally reached the edge of the Zhouzi area.

The edge of the Zhouzi area is a desert, but winter is coming, and Bentley said that this is the right time to cross the desert.

If you cross the desert in summer, you will consume much more water than in winter, and various desert creatures will be very active.

It took another month to cross the desert, and I encountered some creatures... It's okay, I didn't lose money.

The amazing thing is that the settlement we arrived at was not "Yuzi", but Huangzi settlement.

In Bentley's words, it's okay to go to Yuzi area, but it's easier to come to Huangzi, even if the road in the desert is more difficult to walk.

When I arrived at Huangzi, I felt that the weather was very different, and the environment here was better.

There were actually scattered farmlands, although most of them were planted in greenhouses, but it was indeed different.

The public security is relatively better... just a little bit, basically no one is staring at the heavy trucks.

There are children everywhere in many camps in the wild.

It can be seen that the living environment here is much better than that of Hongzi and Zhouzi - not only can children grow up, but people dare to have children.

However, there are more formal inspections, not only in settlements, but also occasionally in camps in the wild.

Qu Jianlei and his heavy trucks even encountered a surprise inspection in the wild.

There were at least four cars and more than a dozen motorcycles on the opposite side. As soon as they met, the other side signaled that they should stop and accept inspection.

Flower Scorpion's answer was to fire a shot directly - not at anyone, but the attitude was very obvious.

The other side was obviously stunned for a moment, and then a motorcyclist came with a white flag on his back.

The driver said that we are catching wanted criminals, and all suspicious persons must be inspected.

Bentley took out an object and showed it, and without saying much, the other party immediately became respectful.

However, even so, this person still said that he would check the identities of other people and check the vehicles.

Bentley's face fell immediately after hearing this, "Let me see your ID."

The driver could only stammer and say that he was not an official, but just helping.

"Get lost," Bentley took out a cigarette and lit it, squinting his eyes and said, "If you don't leave, we will take action."

The driver really didn't dare to get angry, "Then I'll notify them to replace someone with an ID?"

Bentley snorted disdainfully, "If the ID level is high enough, the little minions who come... won't be you, an ordinary person."

It turned out that the things he took out were quite authoritative, and ordinary patrol officers were not qualified to check people and cars.

The driver was stunned. He didn't know what the other party's identity was, so he could only turn around and report back.

The team over there discussed and gave the "pass" signal.

Seeing this, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but look at the old man, "Old Ben, you're quite good at this."

"It's just an extra-staff force assisting in the investigation," Bentley drove slowly, "maybe they want to fish in troubled waters."

The wasteland is still the wasteland. The order in the Huangzi area is a little better, but it's just a little better.

It took the three of them more than two months to travel through the Huangzi area, and then they reached the checkpoint to enter the "Xuanzi".

That's right, there are not many natural barriers from Huangzi to the Xuanzi settlement area, and the obstacles are the checkpoints.

All matters related to the checkpoints will of course be handed over to Bentley, the old man.

The old man didn't let them down, and their identities were directly passed.

Other verifications were inevitable. This time, Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezi exchanged identities and became Bentley's "entourage".

The old man's ability to forge identities is indeed not simple, and he has the power to bring his entourage in.

The gatekeeper also roughly checked the vehicle, but when he saw the full supplies on the vehicle, he didn't covet it at all.

On the contrary, they looked at Bentley with a hint of fear.

——Only such a big man could carry so many supplies and come back safely from the Huangzi District, right?

The order of the settlements is "Heaven Xuan Di Huang", not "Heaven and Earth Xuan Huang". Entering the Xuanzi District is just one step away from the Tianzi District.

This one step took them more than a month to finally reach the checkpoint.

It is easy to get out of the Xuanzi District, but to reach the Tianzi District, you have to cross a river more than three kilometers wide.

It was late winter, and people could barely pass on the ice, and snowmobiles and the like were no problem.

But Qu Jianlei and his team's heavy trucks definitely couldn't drive through, so they had to get on the ferry with ice-breaking capabilities.

Three people in one car paid 120 silver dollars to cross the three-kilometer-long river.

After getting off the ferry, Qu Jianlei's mouth twitched, "Why... do I feel like I've been robbed?"

"We're just getting started," Bentley shook his head, "Next, let you feel what robbery is."

They were going to enter the Tianzi District, where there was a separate entry checkpoint.

Bentley had a Tianzi District resident ID, so his identity was not bad, so he just paid a customs clearance fee of 50 silver dollars.

The vehicle and supplies were charged a customs clearance fee of 200.

Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezi didn't have IDs, so they applied for temporary IDs because Bentley guaranteed them.

The temporary ID cost 50, which was a one-year term and needed to be renewed upon expiration. The deposit for each ID was... 500 silver dollars!

Qu Jianlei felt like his head was going to explode, "It really makes things worse for me who was not rich to begin with."

They didn't encounter any powerful enemies in the Huangzi District and Xuanzi District, so they were relatively safe, but they kept spending money.

No one can stand the feeling of living off their savings.

"Don't be dissatisfied," Bentley said leisurely while driving, "You can't get in even if you spend money without my guarantee."

Hua Xiezi was also in pain, and she said seriously, "You can consider smuggling."

"Forget it," Qu Jianlei took a deep breath, "Problems that can be solved with money are not problems... Why take risks."

Bentley glanced at him and said lightly, "You have a good mentality, unlike young people who have experienced poverty."

In fact, I used to be very rich...Qu Jianlei couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

"Forget it, there is still some gold, which can be worth some money if sold."

He only brought eight kilograms of gold, and the rest was left in secret camps in various places. He thought it was enough.

Who would have thought that this Tianzi District was really unusual. After entering the customs, two thousand silver dollars were gone.

"The cost of living in the Tianzi District is not that high," Bentley replied indifferently, "It's just that it's a little more expensive to enter the customs."

"Of course, if you still want to practice... then you have to work hard to make money."

Qu Jianlei couldn't help but look at him, "Old Ben, when it's really inconvenient, I have to borrow money from you."

"Lend it or not... say this is interesting?" Bentley replied indifferently.

However, the next moment, he couldn't help but emphasize, "Being with me has saved a lot of money."

"I know," Qu Jianlei nodded, "I'm not idle either, I've been thinking about helping you deduce the practice method."

Bentley took a deep breath, "I can't bear it anymore, let's go to Houjing quickly."

It would have been fine if he didn't have this idea before, he had already thought about eating and waiting for death.

But since he had such an idea, he has been living a miserable life for more than half a year.

Fortunately, he is old and has considerable self-control, and those places... are indeed not suitable for practice.

When he set foot on the land of the Tianzi District, he couldn't hold back his thoughts anymore, and he wanted to fly over immediately.

There are a total of fourteen settlements in the Tianzi District.

In addition to No. 1 to No. 9, there are four named after Jing - Qianjing, Houjing, Zuojing, and Youjing.

The only one left is called "Taidu", which is the real first settlement in the Tianzi District.

However, Qianjing and Houjing are not much inferior to Taidu, and Houjing's strength is closer to Taidu.

In short, Houjing is the second largest settlement in the Tianzi District.

As the boss of the settlement, Taidu has more high-end resources.

However, even Bentley thinks that it is more dangerous there - he has a fake identity, but a wanted criminal is a wanted criminal.

So everyone unanimously agreed that Houjing is a good choice. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can still get the cultivation resources.

Qu Jianlei couldn't help laughing when he heard it, "Why don't we go to Taidu?"

"I can still control this measure," Bentley replied disapprovingly.

Then he couldn't help asking, "How's your deduction going?"

On the way, he and Hua Xiezi were busy, and Qu Jianlei was either reading or practicing, without any delay.

But Bentley saw with his own eyes that Qu Jianlei's long-term practice had consumed a B-level crystal.

In this case, he couldn't help but believe it.

"It's still a little imperfect," Qu Jianlei rubbed his eyebrows and answered distressedly.

"But to be honest, you must get feedback through practice, and finally find a method suitable for your practice."

Bentley could understand this, but he couldn't help asking, "How long will it take?"

"How dare I guarantee you this?" Qu Jianlei replied helplessly, "I can only promise...as soon as possible!"

"You don't have to urge me, the key is that you still have to get the resources for practice, this is what you should worry about."

Bentley frowned slightly... There was no way, his mood was really not calm.

The next moment, a series of noises rang out, and a muffled sound came from outside the heavy truck.

Chapter 112: Human life is worthless, but the yard is valuable (fourth update)

The weather has not yet warmed up, and we have arrived at the Tianzi District again. The three of them are currently sitting in the car.

The flower scorpion in charge of the alert exclaimed, "Someone is shooting at us with a machine gun!"

Bentley's eyes flashed with a cold light, "Go and fire the cannon and destroy the enemy directly!"

Hua Xiezi was about to run back in a flash, but Qu Jianlei was a step faster and rushed directly to the car body.

"I'll fire the cannon. I'll suppress the opponent first, and then you can shoot with the machine gun."

The next moment, he exclaimed, "I'll go, do you want to be so cruel? What's coming is an armored vehicle?"

The attack came from the side, and Qu Jianlei spotted an armored vehicle, two trucks, and an off-road vehicle at a glance.

It was not an armored vehicle that fired, but a truck. The cannon on the armored vehicle was following the movement of the heavy truck.

Obviously, the machine gun's aim was slow, and the opponent was not willing to consume ammunition, so he fired with the vehicle-mounted machine gun first.

In the past six months, Qu Jianlei has reached the peak of the sixth level of Qi refining and may advance to the seventh level at any time.

However, he has other plans, so he has been improving his physical fitness recently.

He chose the armor-piercing projectile, fired the cannon, and took aim at the armored vehicle in two seconds.

During this period, two other Gauss machine guns also fired, making the armor of the heavy truck jingle.

"I'm so stupid," someone couldn't help but curse, "Such a perverted armor on a heavy truck, are you trying to get enough?"

The next moment, the heavy truck's cannon roared and fired three times in a row.

Only one of the three shells missed, and the two armor-piercing shells directly set the armored vehicle on fire.

"It's actually thickened armor?" Qu Jianlei was also a little surprised, and then quickly switched to high-explosive bombs.

When the other three cars saw this, they were dumbfounded, "What the hell... is it so accurate?"

The three cars tried to escape, but it was too late. Qu Jianlei's quick hands fired three consecutive three-shots, directly blowing up the three cars.

Then he aimed at the burning armored vehicle, "Do you want to seize it?"

There was a burning figure running out of the car.

"No!" Bentley said very simply, "I will stop suddenly, blow up the armored vehicle and leave."

Then he braked suddenly, Qu Jianlei shook his hand and blasted the armored vehicle with a shot, and the heavy truck sped away.

When he returned to the cab, Hua Xiezi asked, "Is the order in Tianzi District so bad?"

"I have never said that order in Tianzi District is good," Bentley said very simply. I will not take the blame.

He asked plausibly, "Everyone with some strength has come here. How can you think that order is good?"

Hua Xiezi was speechless. He thought for a moment before asking again, "The order in the settlement is good, but it's worse outside?"

"That's basically correct," Bentley nodded, "but within the settlement... there are many big forces."

Of course there was nothing wrong with what he said, but Qu Jianlei narrowed his eyes and spoke in a sinister tone.

"You were eliminated by Central City after all, right?"

After experiencing the endless pursuit of the Sai family, he is now extremely sensitive to the word "big power".

Bentley was startled for a moment, then nodded slightly, "That's true, but some of them were sent by Central City."

Hua Xingzi felt that the boss might lose control again, so he immediately asked, "Is this an ordinary robber?"

"Maybe, maybe not," Bentley replied calmly, "some robbers are really capable."

"However, we can't rule out the possibility that they colluded with the people at the checkpoint. After all, we brought more things."

"What the hell..." Hua Xiezi originally wanted to divert attention, but when she heard this, even she couldn't help but curse.

"If a poor man is ambushed, he won't even be able to pay for ammunition."

"Are you angry about this?" Bentley was a little helpless, "You can earn more than the ammunition cost, so they mainly target heavy trucks."

"Human life is not valuable," Qu Jianlei said lightly, "The first half of my crystal was obtained from someone who wanted to take advantage of me."

Seeing that he had returned to normal, Hua Xiezi felt relieved, "The people at Guankou really dare to be so proficient in banditry?"

"Why not?" Bentley replied casually, with a very cold tone.

"If you are more cautious, then you only sell information to make money... There are people who do it themselves. I have encountered it."

Qu Jianlei looked at him speechlessly, "Is this the case in Central City too?"

"Of course not," Bentley said in a proud tone, "It's the most orderly place there, just like before the end of the world."

Hua Xiezi accidentally said something to him, "Then you have also been replaced, and you actually have the intention to say good things about them?"

"This... is different," Bentley couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. You really don't want to open any pot!

He paused and replied slowly, "No matter which society you are in, robbery and robbery are objective realities."

"The reason why I was replaced has nothing to do with order, but with privilege...In the final analysis, what I got is too precious."

Hua Scorpion noticed that he was in a low mood and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it."

"It doesn't matter," Bentley uttered three words, then stopped talking, and the car fell into silence.

Tianzi settlement area is not small, but they chose the entry point well, and it only took fifteen days to drive to Houjing.

But this is mainly related to roads. There are roads in many places in Tianzi District.

Although most of the roads are dirt roads, and even gravel roads are rare, there is definitely a difference between having roads and not having roads.

That afternoon, when I saw Houjing City from a distance, Hua Xiezi exclaimed, "This settlement in Houjing...has no walls?"

"There is no wall in Central City," Bentley replied casually, "One capital and four capitals are just learning from Central City."

His tone was flat, but he couldn't help but glance at Qu Jianlei - would this surprise you?

Qu Jianlei really couldn't be surprised. The cities with city walls on Blue Star now... those are all scenic spots!

Isn't it rare? Bentley sighed in his heart: This guy's origin is really extraordinary.

Although Houjing has no city walls, there are passes. The two passes separate the outside of the city, the suburbs and the city.

Bentley suggested settling in the suburbs because the grade outside the city is too low.

If you want to live in the city, many weapons on heavy trucks exceed the standard and there are too many ammunitions.

This kind of matter involving the order of the settlement is very sensitive. Even if you are willing to spend money to arrange it, it is not easy to find a reliable way.

Qu Jianlei shook his head immediately when he heard "spending money". Now he was worried about the silver dollars.

Hua Xiezi also said straightforwardly, "We believe you."

The houses in the suburbs are not cheap. The monthly rent of a decent residential house with a yard is as high as 30 silver dollars.

Bentley said this was normal, "This kind of house is usually shared, so it's not expensive if you share it..."

"If it's in the city, this kind of house costs at least 150 yuan, and the most expensive one can reach 400 or 500 yuan!"

"Is this the low cost of living?" Qu Jianlei couldn't help but complain, "It's enough to buy a house in the wealthy area of ​​Zhouliu!"

"This is Houjing in Tianzi District!" Bentley was a little helpless, "How can it be cheaper if you rent a whole yard in the city?"

But then again, renting a whole yard is a rigid demand for them, and it's impossible to share it with others.

Bentley finally chose a relatively luxurious yard, and the price was also very touching-a monthly rent of 60 yuan!

But he had his own reasons, "This place is relatively hidden, private, and convenient for cultivation."

"And we have to buy things next, and there is a certain possibility that others will target us."

"When they find out that we can afford to rent this kind of house, even if they want to do something, they have to think about it."

"Wait," Qu Jianlei agreed weakly, the key is that what the old man said does make sense.

"But next, I'll have to trouble you with making money."

He didn't worry at all that the old man couldn't make money, otherwise how could he have accumulated such a huge family business?

Before, it was nothing more than hopeless revenge and gradually getting old, so he chose to spend the rest of his life in Zhou Liu.

"I'm old, of course you are responsible for making money," Bentley replied lightly.

"It's not appropriate for you to say that," Qu Jianlei said seriously, "I have a lot of things to do... Don't you two want to get the practice method?"

"I can make money," Hua Xiezi immediately took the initiative.

However, although she had this awareness, she had to face a problem, "But I don't have a way to make a lot of money."

Elite hunters like her are actually not short of money. They just need to take a few tasks in their spare time.

But the expenses here in Houjing are really too high, so high that her scalp numbs.

At the speed she makes money in Hongzi District, she may not be able to pay the rent of the courtyard after working hard for a month.

Qu Jianlei glanced at the old man speechlessly, "It shouldn't be difficult to introduce some ways to make money, right?"

The two of them had just arrived in Tianzi District, and with an old driver to lead the way, they could avoid taking detours.

"Yellow Scorpion is also responsible for early warning and security, how can he go out to work?" Bentley answered casually.

Qu Jianlei glanced at him indifferently, without saying anything.

Bentley was shocked by this look and took the initiative to say.

"Okay, I'll find a way to make money. If it doesn't work, I'll just fill it up first."

No one spoke that night. Early the next morning, Bentley went out after breakfast.

Qu Jianlei and Flower Scorpion practiced standing and boxing, and they stopped after more than two hours.

The weather began to gradually warm up, and the two of them sweated a lot. Fortunately, there was no shortage of bathing facilities in the rented house.

If there was not even this little equipment, how could they dare to rent it at such a high price?

After a quick rinse, Hua Xiezi took the initiative to find Qu Jianlei, "Can I start practicing?"

Qu Jianlei looked at her helplessly, "There are basically no resources, and the old man will never agree to let you practice first."

Hua Xiezi was a little eager to try, "His method is an improvement, and my practice is completely new..."

"If my idea is right, is the transformation more difficult than a completely new plan?"

"You are so bold," Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes at her, "Designing a practice method for you is like crossing a river by feeling the stones, and you must have a reference."
