Chapter 478: There’s a treasure there (Part 1)
Translator: 549690339
The factory was located about thirty Li South of Happy Town. Once they got into the modified car, lizard had already spoken to the brat once. Once it confirmed his location, it drove the modified car as fast as a small plane.
It had to be said that the church of technology was indeed extraordinary.
Their car was not only designed to be extremely comfortable, but its performance was also surprisingly good.
Jane was able to tell that this car was a little stronger than the steel monster that she and the lizard had taken when they first left the city. With its tall tires and excellent stability, it was able to travel steadily and quickly on the rugged road.
Although the straight line distance was about 30 miles, the road was rugged and covered with wild grass, making it more winding. In addition, it had just drizzled, so the geckoes did not dare to go directly into the wilderness. Thus, they could only temporarily follow the road and move forward.
Fortunately, drunkard was exploring the way in front. If there were any problems, he could come back and tell them in advance, so they didn’t have to walk in vain.
When they gradually got closer to Happy Town, the group became more careful.
In the past, Happy Town had always been a forbidden zone for the large gathering points around it.
Forget about the fact that no one dared to charge in, some of the people who were running for big goods would rather take a long detour than pass by the area around Happy Town.
This was also the reason why Happy Town was known as the end of road 85.
Since Highway 85 from the old civilization happened to pass by Happy Town, it became a dead end.
The end represented a place where there was no return.
It was just that this forbidden area that everyone avoided had now become a different sight.
They drove on the main road into the distance. When they passed by some places with higher ground, they looked into the distance and saw many carriages heading towards Happy Town in an aggressive manner. People with guns filled the carriages.
During this period, they even saw several forces exchanging fire. You tu tu, I pa pa pa, the battle was very intense.
“Are the people at the gathering point crazy?”
Even the lizard was a little surprised. didn’t they say that the wilderness has been getting more and more peaceful in recent years? everyone’s belief has changed from the idea of ‘the first to open fire wins’ to ‘everyone is a brother in the wilderness’. If there’s no obvious benefit, no gathering point is willing to gather people to fight with the other party. Why are they so fierce now? do they really think bullets and lives are free?
“That’s the problem.”
Chen Jings expression was cold as well. She said in a low voice, ” no one knows what’s wrong with the people at the gathering points. They’ve all dragged their own people out and headed to Happy Town. The town of Mount song that we sent people to investigate before has most likely become an empty city because of this.
“However, the devilish brat and the witch have already gone to investigate this matter. Let’s not cause any trouble and hurry over as soon as possible.”
Under this premise, they tried their best to avoid the armed forces that were exchanging fire and the road sections where they could encounter other people. They only focused on moving forward.
Lu Xin trusted Chen Jings decision very much, so he did not interrupt her. He only watched quietly. Within a short period of time, they had already encountered a few waves of armed forces that were heading towards Happy Town. He had some doubts in his heart, and he felt that something was off.
Most of these armed forces were in a convoy, while the rest only had a few motorcycles. Some were waving guns in their hands, and some were even in groups of three to five carrying hoes with machetes hanging from their waists. They were also rushing forward with fierce looks.
When they encountered a group of dead people blocking the road, they finally stopped the car.
It seemed like an intense battle had just taken place here. More than a dozen corpses were left behind.
These corpses had been emptied of their firearms and had been deliberately stacked up in the middle of the road. It seemed that the winning side had deliberately placed them here to block the path of the people who came later.
Or rather, there was a faint hint of a demonstration.
“Creak …
The modified car stopped in front of the pile of corpses, and the few people who were searching the corpses immediately looked at them vigilantly. At this time, drunkard was actually standing on one foot and watching them, but they couldn’t see drunkard’s existence.
Lu Xin knew that the lizard was going to move the corpse to the barren land nearby, so he followed suit.
Looking up, he saw a few people who were searching for useful things in the pile of corpses. They looked like a big family.
The oldest was a man in his thirties or forties. It was unknown how long it had been since he had shaved, and his beard was wantonly growing on his face. He was skinny and strong. There was also a tall and strong woman wrapped in a dirty sheepskin coat.
The other seven or eight were still half-grown children.
The youngest child looked to be only eight or nine years old.
we came here first. Get out of the way. Otherwise, don’t blame us for using our knives …
When the children saw the people getting out of the car, they immediately grabbed sticks and stones and shouted at the top of their lungs.
Aiyo, Big Brothers, don’t be in a hurry to attack …
The lizard smiled and raised its hand, pointing at the pile of corpses. we’re not snatching these things. It’s just that the corpses are blocking our way. Besides, death is more important. Even if we don’t bury them, we should at least let them go into the nearby ground to hide, right? ‘
why don’t we all help out and send these guys to the wild grass next to us?
we’ll go over there, and you guys can continue to search …
“Alright?”
Lu Xin’s impression of the lizard grew.
It was already good enough that he didn’t threaten her with a gun.
The lizard saw that the other party’s family was silent, so it smiled and took out a 20 Yuan note.
He smiled and said,”excuse me …
The other party was a little tempted, mainly because he saw the gun under the lizard’s clothes when it took the money.
“Liu Zi, go get the money!’
“The rest of you, move the bodies!”
The skinny man quickly ordered. Immediately, a skinny monkey-like boy scuttled over and snatched the money from the lizard’s hands.
The others began to move in a flurry, dragging the corpses into the wild grass nearby, but still vigilantly watching the lizard and the others.
“l say, where are you Big Brothers going?”
The lizard squatted down and smiled at the group.’!It’s not peaceful around here. It’s better to leave early.”
“Leave? you want us to leave?”
The Thin Man should be the father of these children. He immediately looked at the lizard with a dark expression. He sneered while being on guard, we all know that there’s a treasure there. Why don’t we go and take a look?
“Treasure?”
The lizard was slightly startled and turned back to look at Chen Jing and the others.
He then shook his head and said to the man, ” brother, listen to me. There’s no treasure there, only things scarier than ghosts. Your family won’t end up well if you go there. It’s better to take your family back as soon as possible …
“Even if there’s really a treasure, what do you think you old and young people can snatch?”
Lu Xin nodded in agreement.
It was fine if the other gathering points ‘armed forces were gathering in that direction.
It was simply a fantasy for such a family to join in the fun. The key was that they looked serious.
“The only thing scarier than ghosts is poverty!’
The man rambled on and began to strip off the clothes of a corpse on the side of the road. There was a strange fierceness in his eyes.
we definitely can. There’s an endless amount of treasure there. As long as we go, we’ll definitely be able to get a share.
“We can’t hold the big one, but can’t we just pick up two pieces of gold to exchange for food?”
those damn brats came out one by one. If you can’t farm, you won’t be full no matter how much you plant …
Hearing the man’s mumbling and the way he pulled the dead man’s clothes with a fierce look on his face, and looking at the gray children dragging the dead body with cold eyes, even the lizard couldn’t keep the smile on its face. How could he not see that the entire family seemed to be seriously affected?
“We can stop this family, but we can’t stop more.”
Chen Jing, who had been sitting in the car, suddenly spoke in a low voice, ‘
so, it’s better to carry out the mission first and solve the problem at the source.
Lu Xin agreed. Seeing that the corpses were almost all moved, he prepared to return to the car.
But at this moment, a fierce shout suddenly startled everyone, It was the child who had come to take the money from the lizard. He suddenly jumped forward and stabbed the lizard’s back with a ferocious expression.
But he didn’t stab anyone. He was at least a meter away from the lizard.
The lizard was stunned. It turned to look at the drunkard on the side of the road and saw that her pupils had contracted slightly.
Only then did she realize that she had distorted the child’s vision and made him mistakenly think that he had stabbed her.
It was obvious that the child was not the only one who had an illusion. When the other children saw it, they also rushed over.
They waved the bricks and wooden sticks in their hands and hit the ground and air around them.
One of them even had muscles that were twisted like earthworms.
It opened its mouth and bit the air ferociously, stabbing the rusty knife in its hand into the air continuously.
“Stab you to death, stab you to death, stab you to death …”
“He must have more money on him
father, mother, come quickly. Kill them all and we’ll have guns and cars. We’ll definitely be able to snatch the treasure …
The Thin Man and the strong woman were pleasantly surprised. They quickly scurried up and worked together as a family. They caught people and tied their hands together. They picked up stones and knocked them on the ground while dragging them into the wild grass.
The surroundings became quiet for a while as they watched the family fight with the non-existent enemy.
With the drunkard by his side, no one in the family could hurt him.
Or rather, even without the drunkard, their family couldn’t threaten anyone.
But looking at their fierce expressions and vicious actions, it still made people feel a chill down their backs.
Chen Jing sighed softly in the car, ‘”Let them fight here for a while more, maybe they can keep their lives.”
After a moment of silence, everyone returned to the car.
Everyone, including drunkard who was scouting outside, was obviously in a depressed mood.
Only doll was still staring with his big eyes. He didn’t know why everyone was unhappy..
