Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

Chapter 198 Chapter 196 An unexpected encounter

Morgana lived in Shangcheng District. She only asked Zhuang Xuteng to send her nearby without telling her specific address. Zhuang Xuteng can completely understand such behavior. If he were in another position, he would keep it a secret from Morgana. The two of them said goodbye except for nodding, but after the car started, Morgana stopped and turned around to take a few more glances, until it completely disappeared from sight before continuing to leave.

Zhuang Xuteng saw all this through the rearview mirror.

"Male and female, you can work without getting tired; you can move on your own, and you can be single without guilt... If Brother Dao were around, he would definitely say this again." Zhuang Xuteng drove through Peicheng and stopped to have a meal at Lucy Music Restaurant. meal. Except for four tables of customers, there was not a single mercenary in sight, and Lucy was not there either. Alas, it's very possible that they made a big move and didn't call themselves, so they were at a loss.

"Hurry up and finish Morgana's business! In addition to the successful eradication of the Viper Gang and the destruction of the drug den that sells blue savages, considering the income alone, this job is currently at a loss. I feel happy when I do good deeds and earn money. Money makes you feel secure. You should be secure first and then be happy..."

After taking a short rest while eating, Zhuang Xuteng set off immediately. He filled the white beast with water and coal powder before heading southwest out of the city through the hub area. The location indicated by the coordinates should be near the Eighth Alliance Town, and it can be reached quickly along Highway 8.

Even though it was right next door to Gray Worm City, the seventh alliance town in his hometown, Zhuang Xuteng knew very little about the situation in this eighth alliance town. He heard from his parents that the main industry in Bazhen is textiles, which is responsible for the step from silk thread to various cloths. The garment industry is next door, in the town of Ninth Alliance. Since they are only responsible for the upstream of the product line, the income in Eighth Alliance Town is generally not high. I heard that the residents here are also quite xenophobic and have a bad temper towards strangers.

The target of the investigation is the blue crystal factory or transportation station, not the folk customs of the Eighth Alliance Town. If those people's tempers were really as bad as the rumors say, Zhuang Xuteng could ignore them completely. It's not that you can't afford to offend him, but you can afford to hide from him.

According to the map, the best route to the coordinates is to take the fourth exit of Highway 8 and travel from the road on the north side of Alliance Town. Zhuang Xuteng never expected that the fourth exit would be demolished. Judging from the traces of construction, it was definitely not recent. It seems his map is a bit old...

Stopping on the side of the road, Zhuang Xuteng climbed out of the skylight and looked around. About two kilometers ahead, a newly built parking and rest area caught his attention. The current situation is: Either drive to the Eighth Alliance Town and travel on a path that is unfamiliar and may have changed, or go to the rest area to ask about the situation, or at least update the map - obviously it is better to ask about the situation.

"Why does it feel weird to have a rest area here..."

There is a large water and coal store in front of the highway entrance, and most long-distance vehicles will fill up there. You can see this rest area after driving 30 kilometers on the highway. On the surface, it seems that this distance is barely enough to set up a rest area, but another five kilometers is the Eighth Alliance City, where the facilities will be more complete. It is necessary to set up a rest area for these five kilometers. Kilometer distance and waste a lot of time?

The rest area in front of you is not small in size and has complete facilities. A long building with a big clock and many signs hanging on it indicate that it has a canteen, a supermarket, a toilet, a garage and a small clinic. The station that can add water and coal to more than ten vehicles at the same time is right next to the complex, and they sit on a large parking lot of almost 150 acres.

This parking lot is obviously a bit too big, who needs to park here? Thirty kilometers from the city is too close for those traveling long distances, and five kilometers from Eighth Alliance Town is not worth a stop for those who are about to go home. Zhuang Xuteng took a closer look and found that the parking lot was only one-way. Only cars going out of the city could enter. There was no corresponding building on the incoming side. He became wary.

There were twelve container trucks parked scattered in the parking lot, two of which were facing the garage. The fronts of the trucks were raised, presumably for maintenance. Two groups of people gathered together, each group consisting of about ten people, and there was no sign of wariness or alienation between the two groups. Zhuang Xuteng only took one look and judged that they might all know each other, or they might just be together. But they dispersed the vehicles, which was a bit unnatural.

If it weren't for the investigation of Lan Yeren and the need to identify every doubt, Zhuang Xuteng would definitely not stay here. Since there was something suspicious and it was near the coordinates to be investigated, Zhuang Xuteng immediately cheered up and got into the zone. When leaving the highway, Zhuang Xuteng did not slow down at all, pulled the whistle, and then rushed straight towards the bathroom. He braked hard, got out of the car, and ran inside.

He acted like he was in a hurry to go to the toilet, and the people gathered in two groups were first wary, then confused, and then laughed. They easily accepted Zhuang Xuteng's reason for coming to the rest area: Yes, people have three urgent needs, and this cannot be tolerated.

"Go and see what kind of car it is and if there is anyone else in it."

Zhuang Xuteng came out of the bathroom shaking the water in his hand and saw three people poking their heads next to the white beast. He immediately pretended to be nervous and shouted: "What are you doing? Go away, go away!"

"Your car is nice! Did you modify it yourself?" A thin monkey with sparse hair greeted Zhuang Xuteng, casually took out a pack of crumpled cigarettes, flicked his wrist, and flicked half of one out. "Here, take a sip?"

"Thank you, I only smoke pipes and cigars." Zhuang Xuteng quickly calmed down his nervous expression and shook his head with a smile. "You are really discerning and can spot a good car. When I bought it, it was almost a pile of scrap metal. I asked someone to clean it up, and that's how it looks today. Can you see this color scheme? ? How about Bai Mo Ji’s Bai!, isn’t it interesting?”

"Interesting, interesting." The thin monkey nodded with a smile, stopped three meters away from Zhuang Xuteng, and said, "How fast can your car go? I think it's quite heavy. Are they all armor plates? "

"Yes, a serious armor plate. After all, I am running outside alone, and I feel more at ease with the protection of armor plates. Aren't you guys gathering together to ensure safety?" Zhuang Xuteng pointed casually and said, "You just stopped here when you left the city. Did you come down because the car broke down? It’s really unlucky, it must have delayed things, right?”

"Oh, yes, it's so unlucky. We were delayed here and felt bored, so we came over to say hello to you. But we won't delay your schedule anymore, let's go, let's go!"

The thin monkey waved his hand and was about to send Zhuang Xuteng away, but he didn't expect that Zhuang Xuteng didn't get in the car and leave. "You are all together, can you give me a copy of the map? My map seems a bit old, and it still marked exit No. 8-04, but it is gone. I paid for it. According to the five points of the new map, Times the price.”

"If you don't want to sell it, you can leave."

"Then I'll go to the store and have a look."

As soon as Zhuang Xuteng took a step towards the store, Skinny Monkey took a step sideways and tried to block him. Zhuang Xuteng frowned, looked around, lifted up his clothes, put his hand on the electric shock baton, and slowly backed away. This group of people is weird, and this place is weird.

"Yes, let's go! If you want to buy things, you can go to Bacheng." Thin Monkey waved his hand, took out a cigarette and lit it, then took a deep breath and puffed out the smoke.

This time it is a reconnaissance mission. Just discover the suspicious points and record them. There is no need to alert the snake. Zhuang Xuteng opened the car door with his backhand and was about to get in the car and leave when he heard a clanging sound. Looking around, a panicked person ran out of the truck that was lifted up. She was chasing the screws that were scattered on the ground and rolling around, without looking up in the direction of Zhuang Xuteng.

But Zhuang Xuteng still recognized it. It was Kelly from the Tomato Family Car Repair Shop.

He could pretend not to see it, get in the car and leave immediately. If he followed the requirements of the investigation target's commissioned task, he should leave immediately, but that was Kelly... Zhuang Xuteng immediately found a reason to convince himself: the white beast is too conspicuous. Even if the license plate cannot be seen clearly, this model, this color, and this modification method , Kelly can recognize it just by looking at it.

"Kelly?!" Zhuang Xuteng immediately shouted from the air.

Kelly raised her head with a very complicated expression. There was surprise, doubt, and anxiety, but not much joy. She was a little at a loss, as if her body still wanted to chase the escaping screw, but her mind and spirit were all pinned in place by Zhuang Xuteng.

"Haha, what a coincidence!" Zhuang Xuteng had reason to suspect that Kelly might be involuntarily appearing here, so he walked straight towards her. If Shouhou'er and others block it or take action immediately, this conjecture can be confirmed. It's a pity that Shouhou'er and others were stunned for a moment, then got out of the way and asked, "Do you know each other?"

"We know each other, my car was modified by Kaili." Zhuang Xuteng smiled and passed by Shouhou, activating and maintaining the super calculation and three-dodge posture. Since his reaction speed was only accelerated and his body movements showed no signs of acceleration, it still looked consistent with a normal walking posture.

"Kelly modified it? Was it saved from a junkyard? I thought it was a good car, but it turns out the paint just looks good."

What Slim Monkey said to his companion revealed a lot: he and Kelly not only knew each other, but were probably close to each other. He knew that Kelly's car repair shop was located next to a junkyard, and he also knew that Kelly could assemble cars using old parts from the junkyard. But he didn't know how far Kelly could renovate the car, which meant that he was not a customer in this area.

"I haven't seen you for a while, Kelly, you look good." Zhuang Xuteng walked over with a smile, looking around with his peripheral vision. Most of the truck drivers were slightly nervous, but they didn't act. Several of them unconsciously cast their eyes on a middle-aged man leaning against the car door, wearing a black leather jacket, silver reflective goggles and a mohawk, who was probably their leader.

"Nike? Why are you here?" Kelly wiped her face with the back of her hand, leaving a black oil stain on her face immediately.

"There's a bit of chaos in the city. I came out to get some air, but I got a little diarrhea so I came here." Zhuang Xuteng took out his handkerchief and leaned over and said, "You're not staying at the car repair shop. Are you here to develop business?"
