Chapter 83: Human settlements

"Why doesn't it start?" Ling Han, who clearly felt the chariot slowing down after driving for a while, asked Jiang Qi.

"Most of the road ahead has been artificially destroyed. Our tanks cannot overcome these obstacles, and most importantly, the fuel is running out." Jiang Qi sighed.

"Then we can only rely on walking?" Mishu was a little annoyed.

"Okay, let's go out and look for it. Maybe we can find a gas station or another car." Ling Han pushed open the roof hatch and climbed out.

"Pa!" A bullet hit Ling Han's hand.

"I'm going!" Ling Han shivered in fright and fell back into the car.

"Who!"

"Superpower! Get out of here or die now!" Behind the rubble that blocked the chariot, dozens of men with guns leaned out from behind.

"Wait a minute, we can discuss it if we have anything to say. We are just here to find someone. If we find someone, we will leave without disturbing you!"

"No! Get out of this city now, you damn monsters!"

"Monster..." Not only Ling Han, but also everyone in the car heard themselves being described like this for the first time, and they suddenly fell into a dead silence.

"Let's go!" Jiang Qi knew he didn't need to continue arguing with them, lest they continue to say hurtful words.

In fact, Jiang Qi had heard about these names for people with superpowers in Lanyu Fortress. When he went out to perform tasks alone, he often heard people's harsh comments about people with superpowers. It seemed that all disasters were due to these.

Just like when people rise up, everyone wants to hide as far away as possible when they see it. What's more, they have established organizations to help the machine spirit army capture superpowers! He is just afraid of hurting the hearts of these people, Jiang Qi

He has always kept silent about this.

With the only fuel he had, Jiang Qi drove the car three miles away from the place where he was ambushed. Looking at the four people behind him who were unhappy, Jiang Qi could only cheer up and greet everyone to get out of the car.

"What should we do now?" Mi Shu asked Jiang Qi.

"I think we were discovered because the chariot was making too much noise. If we don't use any means of transportation, it shouldn't be difficult to get past their sight." Jiang Qi thought for a moment.

"Ling Han, why don't you speak..." He turned to look at Ling Han, but what he saw was a boy sitting on the ground with a melancholy look on his face.

"Oh, I'm so worried. Even when Mu Huaiyu punched me in the chest just now, I don't feel this bad..." Ling Han touched his chest.

"Don't care what those guys say, I will always treat you as a friend, right?" Jiang Qi came up and patted him on the shoulder.

"Thank you." He felt somewhat comforted.

"We are here with you, you are not the only one!" Mishu said carelessly.

"Haha, that's right. I still have you guys accompanying me." After Ling Han finished speaking, everyone laughed.

"Let's go, there are still many things waiting for us to solve."

Half an hour later...

"Where can I rent a car here, or how can I take a ride out of this city?" Bai Jue weighed the money in his pocket. Although there was still a lot of money left, it was still very difficult to buy a new car from others.

Yes, but being able to rent it makes a big difference.

"It took me a long time to exchange this money. It's all because of the fierce inflation now. The money depreciated too fast. If it drags on for a long time, I might not have toilet paper at all tomorrow." Bai Jue touched his pocket.

A few stacks of cash, which he had originally earned from reselling information from Mishu. After a lot of effort, he exchanged them all into the common currency of the Three Empires with large denominations. Originally, it was not just one car, but ten.

I can afford to buy a tank, but the money I have now is probably not enough to buy a tractor.

"Brother, you just came out of the mountains, right? Do you still want to rent a car these days? Everyone who owns a car holds it in his hand like a treasure. Many nights he sleeps in the car. If something goes wrong, he can immediately take the whole family with him.

It's a short run, and fuel is more valuable than gold, so you can rest." An old man who had been paying attention to him for a long time couldn't help but come up to remind him.

"Is there really no way to leave? It's definitely impossible to leave. It's too dangerous outside." Bai Jue looked worried.

"Young man, I have a way to make you leave." The old man leaned forward pretending to be mysterious.

"Oh? Old man, do you have any ideas?"

"Yes, yes, well, it's just this and this..." The old man frowned as if he was in great difficulty.

"Ah! It must be difficult for an old man like you to be so messed up outside now. It's only right for the younger generation to show some respect to you. It's right..." Bai Jue took out a wad of money from his pocket and stuffed it into the old man's hand.

"Ahem, I haven't seen a child as sensible and filial as you for a long time!" Touching the thick stack of high-denomination currency, the old man couldn't help but pronounce the words "sensible and filial" very seriously.

"Now can you give me a few words of advice to the juniors?" Bai Jue couldn't help but get closer.

"Remember, the reason why this city can gather all residents in this settlement is because they can maintain the supply of external materials to the inside. I have noticed that every Sunday night, the entrance to the southwest of the settlement

Hundreds of supply trucks will drive in, and they will probably leave in the early morning to go to the next city or return to the supply distribution point. I am not sure about this. In short, it is good to be able to leave this city. It is still three o'clock in the afternoon.

Wish you good luck." The old man smiled, patted his shoulder and walked away.

"At night, southwest." Bai Jue said thoughtfully.

Outside the settlement...

"Yiqiu, your scout bees are very effective."

"Really, thank you." Ye Yiqiu scratched her head in embarrassment when she heard Ling Han praising her.

Thousands of scout bees were flying above their heads at this time, spread out over several kilometers, helping them avoid patrols one after another.

"Wait a minute, one of my scout bee teams seems to have discovered a very densely populated place, right there!" Ye Yiqiu pointed to the west of Wuyun City.

"It's a settlement." Jiang Qi said from the side.

"Wherever there is a war, there will be refugees, and some people are unwilling to leave their homes where they have lived for generations, so government officials will spontaneously form a human settlement, using a very small living space to create the closest thing to before the war.

living conditions.”

"It's just that the accommodation conditions in this settlement are quite harsh. In a city of one million people, less than one-fifth of the people can successfully move in. Most of them are through trust relationships, or they are bought directly with money, and the remaining people don't have the right

If you don't have money, you can only be forced to leave the city to become refugees or live in the deserted high-rise buildings of the city! This is also called one city, one place. In many big cities, because of unfair policies in settlement areas, many people simply form gangs and start their own businesses.
