Chapter 113 Wanderer in the Wilderness

At the same time, a convoy of four off-road vehicles had just set off from the field base of Lishan Technology and headed for the vast wilderness.

Zeng Hailong sat in the driver's seat, nervously controlling the off-road vehicle, and from time to time he checked whether the route displayed on the screen in the car had deviated. He was the leader of the convoy, and the vehicles behind him were following him.

Of course, this was not the main reason why Zeng Hailong was nervous, but mainly because Zhang Sirui was sitting next to him.

"Pay attention to route planning and don't deviate. The snow in some places is very thick, and once you press in, it will cause some damage to the car body."

"Also, always pay attention to the surrounding situation. The enemy may be ambushing on our route and preparing to attack. Once you encounter the enemy, you must react as quickly as possible."

"You just turned too sharply! The stability of the car is not good enough. If the enemy attacks at that time, you will have overturned at this time."

Zeng Hailong, like a primary school student, very helplessly accepted all the lessons of Zhang Sirui and seriously corrected his driving habits.

This feeling is a bit like a new driver on the road, being pointed out by an old driver sitting in the co-pilot. It was quite unpleasant, but Zeng Hailong didn't dare to complain.

Because this was also part of the training.

Since he officially became a member of the resistance this month, his life has changed dramatically.

In the past, his life was very happy. He went to work in the foundry every day, and went to the experience store to play Mewtwo after get off work. The fun of life was relatively simple.

But now he doesn't have much time to work in the foundry, but frequently conducts various trainings. Whether it is shooting training, driving training, or learning some basic cultural knowledge, it makes him miserable.

Under such high-intensity training, it is impossible to take time out to play Mewtwo. At most, you can play the training version of "Desperate War" and "Embers Will Go Out". Playing the training version of Mewtwo is basically the ultimate suffering. For Zeng Hailong, it is better to go to the real training ground to face the terrible space-time creatures.

However, for Zeng Hailong, he still persisted smoothly and did better and better.

Because during the training process, Zeng Hailong found that his strength had indeed grown rapidly. His combat capability in reality is constantly improving. After he improves his strength, he is also replaced with a brand new mechanical arm and allocated a brand new gene medicine. In this way, his strength is also improving rapidly.

Moreover, these fighters of the resistance army did not regard him as an outsider, and they all accepted him as their brother with a very open and welcoming attitude.

This feeling is something he has never felt in the gang before.

Moreover, after Du Guanqi's education, Zeng Hailong, like other gangsters and homeless people, has a deep understanding of the miserable status quo of this world. They all seriously thought about the root cause of all the suffering in this world, and to a certain extent established the same goal as the resistance fighters.

Of course, their goals are definitely not firm enough compared with the resistance fighters. After all, these resistance fighters are elites who have been through hundreds of battles. Their energy fluctuation level may not be very high, but their actual combat experience and willpower are definitely top-notch.

Zeng Hailong and his group were just gangsters and homeless people before, and it is impossible for them to have such a high level of ideological awareness out of thin air.

But even so, they have already initially possessed the qualities that a resistance fighter should have. This month's special training has brought about earth-shaking changes in their minds and bodies.

The top leaders of the resistance army, led by Zhang Sirui, also pay great attention to the training and teaching of Zeng Hailong and other new fighters. So this time, Zhang Sirui specially asked Zeng Hailong to lead the team, just to experience it.

The mission this time is actually very simple. The team that Zeng Hailong and Zhang Sirui are in has to transport some supplies to nearby wild settlements in exchange for space-time particles and other rare materials. At the same time, they will sell their own Chaomeng and some basic weapons and equipment to the other party.

These wild settlements are scattered around the satellite city of Liming City. The structure is a bit like a gang or a family. They are all people who don't want to live in a small city and look at other people's faces, and they yearn for the freedom of the wild.

These settlements mainly collect space-time particles in the wild. They will send these space-time particles and some rare materials to Liming City through various channels or trade with some consortiums to obtain the necessary materials for life.

After all, space-time particles are special things. In fact, crystals of space-time particles can be seen everywhere in the wilderness. However, for some large consortiums, these crystals are not worth building a field base or a space-time particle refinery. Therefore, these wanderers can maintain the daily operation of the field settlement by collecting space-time particles in the wilderness.

These field settlements are large and small. Some small settlements may have only a dozen vehicles. Usually, these dozen vehicles are surrounded in one place, and some simple means are used to cover the time snow, which can barely be regarded as a small settlement.

There are also some large settlements, which often have some small energy barriers that can be used to cover the time snow. The scale is even larger than the field bases of some small consortiums. Even some very large settlements will have their own base vehicles for daily construction and maintenance.

But in general, the larger the scale of the settlement, the more resources it needs to consume, and it is difficult for ordinary people to afford it.

After all, the output of the entire wilderness is limited, and the areas that actually produce more space-time particles have been occupied by large consortiums, so these settlements can only barely survive in the cracks. Many settlements can only rely on large consortiums to survive.

For Lishan Technology, these settlements do not actually have too many resources they need. Whether in terms of combat effectiveness or technological level, Lishan Technology is far ahead of these settlements.

However, at this stage, Lishan Technology needs a large number of space-time particles. It is far from enough to purchase through conventional channels, so at this time, it is necessary to build a good channel with the surrounding wild settlements to obtain some space-time particles from here.

Soon, Zeng Hailong saw a medium-sized settlement at the end of the distant vision.

Various off-road vehicles and RVs gathered in the wilderness, and in a conspicuous position in the center of the settlement, a scattered blue barrier could be seen unfolding in the air to prevent vehicles and personnel in the settlement from being harmed by the time snow.

Several vehicles left the settlement. These people should be going to the nearby area to collect space-time crystals and space-time particles.

In addition, several vehicles quickly came to the front of Zeng Hailong's team and stopped them outside the settlement.

These wanderers were all wary of foreign vehicles, although these settlements were not like those big consortiums, with a lot of valuable equipment and supplies. However, after all, in the wilderness, settlements often broke out due to fighting for territory or other reasons, and these wanderers were full of vigilance against strangers.

After all, one negligence may lead to the destruction of the entire settlement, and these wanderers are full of distrust of the outside world.

Zhang Sirui poked his head out of the car and greeted: "We are the team of Lishan Technology. We have agreed with Korhan to exchange supplies."

After a while, several off-road vehicles on the opposite side seemed to have verified the situation. Turning the front of the car, the team of Zeng Hailong and Zhang Sirui was led into the interior of the settlement.

Zeng Hailong drove the car carefully, his expression full of vigilance. He was afraid that the other party would suddenly attack them and steal all the supplies in the car.

Although the possibility of this situation is very low, it is not uncommon for anything to happen in the wilderness, not to mention that these wanderers are real desperate criminals.

Although Zeng Hailong was a gangster before, gangsters also follow rules and have bottom lines in gangs. All gangs play under the same rules of the game very tacitly, but these wanderers in the wilderness are completely free from any constraints.

After entering the settlement, everyone got off the car. A tall, bearded Westerner came to Zhang Sirui.

"Zhang, welcome to our settlement! Have you brought all the goods I want?"

This is Korhan, whom Zhang Sirui had mentioned before. He is the leader of this settlement. For other people in the settlement, he is like an elder brother or a father. Basically, he can decide everything in this settlement.

Zeng Hailong noticed that most of these wanderers were unkempt like Korhan. They had untidy beards and long hair. However, their faces were a little red, because they lived in the wilderness all year round, and were tempered by wind and snow and might occasionally get frostbitten. So they looked more like plateau people who grew up in extremely cold places.

In addition, there were many disabled people. These people might have been eroded by time snow or encountered time and space creatures when they were collecting time and space crystals in the wild, so that their entire arms were eroded and aged. But they didn't have enough money to replace the mechanical arms, so they could only stay in the settlement as disabled people and do what they could.

These wanderers were very tolerant. They would not abandon these people because of their disabilities, but let them continue to stay in the settlement and provide them with daily food and clothing like family members.

From this perspective, the settlement is a relatively humane place on the old land, much better than what many consortiums do.

Zhang Sirui directed Zeng Hailong and other resistance fighters to unload all the supplies from the car and count them one by one.

What Colehan particularly loves is the batch of weapons they brought.

"These guns are well maintained. Although they are a few years old, you can see that they are used by people who love guns."

"With these guns, I will be more confident when I go out in the future."

"There are even 5 mechanical arms! It seems that a few brothers can return to the wilderness again."

These guns are actually guns eliminated by the rebels. They are all of various brands. Some are low-end guns of Fujitang Group, and some are strong brands produced by Chen's consortium.

As Lishan Technology becomes stronger and stronger, a large number of powerful defender sniper rifles are equipped in the hands of the rebels. Naturally, these guns are not very useful.

Simply sell them to these wanderers in the wild, and you can get some supplies in exchange, which can be regarded as waste utilization.

Although these wanderers make a living by collecting time and space crystals in the wilderness, guns and mechanical arms are always their favorite supplies.

Because no matter how many time and space crystals you collect, they may be snatched away by other settlements. Only by holding a gun in hand can you protect yourself. Moreover, sometimes these settlements may also rob other settlements. At that time, it depends on whose gun caliber is larger.

As for the robotic arms, there are many disabled people in these settlements who need them to regain their lives. Although there are no very skilled prosthetic doctors in the settlements, for these people, as long as the robotic arms can be used, it is better than the previous disabled state as long as they can shoot smoothly.

And behind Korhan, several wanderers are obviously more interested in the physical version of Mewtwo brought by Zhang Sirui.

"The Embers Will Go Out", "Desperate Battle", and "Another Possibility"? Great, these physical versions of Mewtwo are very useful, thank you very much!"

"It's a pity that there is no Black Mewtwo, Black Mewtwo is powerful enough."

"Shh, don't talk nonsense, don't mention Black Mewtwo in front of others, you're asking for a beating."

For these wanderers in the wilderness, Black Mewtwo is obviously more powerful. This regular version of Mewtwo has many shortcomings for them.

For example, the popularity of the Black Mewtwo in "Another Possibility" is much higher than the original Mewtwo. When they heard that it was the original Mewtwo, many people showed disappointed expressions on their faces.

But the problem is that Lishan Technology is a legitimate Mewtwo manufacturer. If you mention Black Mewtwo in front of them, isn't it the same as saying it's pirated in front of a regular game manufacturer? They will definitely be furious.

However, these wanderers took a look at Zhang Sirui and found that Zhang Sirui seemed to be more cultured and didn't get angry about it, so they were relieved.

What they didn't know was that more than half of the Black Mewtwo in Liming City now came from Lishan Technology.

Because Chen She proposed a motion to crack down on Black Mewtwo in the parliament before, the Black Mewtwo industry in the entire Liming City suffered a heavy blow from the DCPD, but Lishan Technology was not affected and was still producing Black Mewtwo continuously, so most of the Black Mewtwo on the market are the official versions of Lishan Technology.

Although these Black Mewtwo are indeed produced by Lishan Technology, Zhang Sirui and others can't really prove this, so they can only smile and say nothing when encountering this situation.

At this time, a wanderer asked in confusion: "Huh? I don't think I've heard of this Mewtwo before."

"The Ultimate Happiness is Construction?"

Zhang Sirui nodded, "Yes, this is the Mewtwo newly developed by our company. It is a simulation business and construction Mewtwo, which has just been launched recently. I also brought you a few copies. You can play and experience it. If you think it's fun, you can buy more."

When these wanderers heard that it was a simulation business and construction Mewtwo, they were obviously a little bored. After all, for them, direct combat Mewtwo such as "Embers Will Go Out" and "Desperate War" are more attractive.

But everyone thought about it again. There are already so many combat Mewtwo, so it's not a bad idea to change to other types. What's more, there are only a few copies in total, and it doesn't cost much more.

These wanderers are in the wilderness all year round. Except for going out to collect space-time particles, they spend most of their time in the camp. Mewtwo is one of their very limited forms of entertainment. So these physical versions of Mewtwo are also quite welcome.

Zhang Sirui looked at Korhan, "The goods are all here, where are the space-time particles?"

Korhan waved his hand, and someone immediately brought up a box and opened it in front of Zhang Sirui. There were more than a dozen units of space-time particles inside.

These space-time particles are still placed in special containers for indication. These containers look a bit worn out, as if they have been used for a long time. Compared with the space-time particles that are traded in a formal way, they look a bit worn out.

And the purity of the space-time particles in the container does not seem to be particularly high.

After all, these space-time particles are collected in the wild, and the purity of these space-time crystals may be slightly lower, which is a certain gap from the space-time particles produced by the space-time particle refinery.

But Zhang Sirui didn't care, because Chen She had said long ago that the purity of the space-time particles he needed didn't matter, as long as they were space-time particles.

For Chen She, he could purify it by himself anyway, without much effort.

Zhang Sirui simply counted the number, and after confirming that there was no problem, he handed the space-time particles to Zeng Hailong.

Then he looked at Korhan, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you. If you have space-time particles in the future, you can sell them to us first. No matter what materials you want, we can find a way to get them for you."

"If you are willing, there will be opportunities for deeper cooperation."

Korhan smiled, "No problem."

In fact, Zhang Sirui had long thought about incorporating Korhan's wild settlement into the Lishan Technology. After all, these wanderers make a living in the wild, have good fighting will, and have a rebellious spirit, so they can be regarded as suitable candidates for the rebels.

But for Korhan and others, they are accustomed to a free life and have never been attached to any large consortium. Of course, they would not agree to Zhang Sirui's proposal without reason.

Zhang Sirui felt that this matter could not be rushed, so he only planned to have a good relationship with Korhan and others. As for recruiting them to join the rebels, it can be considered in the long run.

Several rebels got on their cars and quickly returned to the field base of Lishan Technology with the space-time particles they traded.

On Colehan's side, the wanderers transported the supplies to the warehouse. Several young wanderers brought the newly bought physical versions of Mewtwo to the entertainment room, wanting to experience whether these Mewtwo were fun or not.
