Chapter 876: Distinguishing traces on the road
The armed motorcade just parked opposite the hotel triggered a security alert in the hotel. When Chen Chuan walked towards them, his expression was calm and natural.
On the contrary, when he walked over, the people in the convoy on the opposite side felt a sense of discomfort. Those who were chatting and laughing also stopped, their facial expressions became stiff, and their fingers unconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands.
Some people even pointed their guns in front of them.
This is not because they really noticed anything, but because they have been wandering on the edge of life and death for a long time, they have a keen sense of danger.
Chen Chuan's biological field did not spread to the outside at all, but the pace and rhythm of his walking, the natural and relaxed state he showed when facing everyone, brought them a certain sense of oppression, which made them
Very uncomfortable.
Baomi noticed this immediately, and immediately raised his hand, making a downward gesture to everyone, and said: "Relax, guys, this is our employer, and he is the one we want to escort today." Hearing this.
After saying this, everyone looked at each other and relaxed a little.
Baomi turned her head and signaled to Jasmine, who came up and held up a blouse, "Sir, we have prepared this for you. Don't worry, it has been washed beforehand and is very clean."
Chen Chuan thanked him, took it and put it on to cover his figure. This way, he looked similar to most people here and looked less out of place.
But even so, as long as he stood there, he felt different from the people around him.
At this time, Baomi greeted him and asked him to sit in his car. Then he turned his head and shouted to the front. The car at the beginning started and drove out, and the cars behind him also followed one by one.
Baomi shrank back, smiled apologetically and said, "Sir, our team is a bunch of bastards. We never do things without thinking. Don't mind what happened just now."
Chen Chuanhuan: "Captain Baomi, I understand." People like this who are often on the line of life and death put self-protection first, and it is not something they can control.
Baomi said: "Why don't you say you are a commander? You have a lot of them."
Chen Chuan glanced at the rearview mirror. The team members behind him were all silent at the moment, without any sign of whispering to each other. They were obviously of high quality. He asked, "Are these people from your team?"
"There are only about twenty members who directly belong to our team, and there are about thirty people recruited separately, who belong to two teams respectively. Sir, don't worry, they are all people who often cooperate with us, and we can definitely trust them.
There seem to be a lot of people, but it's not safe outside the city. Those blending creatures are okay. What we need to be most wary of are our colleagues. Especially at this time of year, there might be another group of mercenaries trying to hit us on the road.
Autumn breeze.”
Chen Chuanchuan: "You said before that you took a business order there, what was that?"
Baomi looked back at a transport vehicle following behind and said, "People."
After a pause, he explained: "There are large farms and biological breeding farms near that village and town, which require a lot of labor. We are responsible for delivering a batch to them.
Don't worry, we are not Dashun people, they are all prisoners of the old imperial army. These prisoners are their favorites. They live long, adapt to the environment, and don't have to worry about reactivation."
Chen Chuan didn't say anything about this. Some things that are not allowed outside may be very common here, and the soldiers of the old imperial family are actually another species compared with them. As far as he knows, most of them
They were also placed at the front lines of the army to do hard labor.
The convoy made its way steadily out of the city. When they arrived outside the city, they could see that the existing creatures in the blending area had almost been cleared away. Not even much vegetation could be seen, and there was only a patch of black-red soil on both sides of the road.
There were some people wearing face-covering smocks and carrying black-striped baskets wandering around on the roadside, turning the ground with some kind of hook and hook. Occasionally, a fat insect with many legs would be dug out from under the soil.
Then he was picked up by the hook and stuffed into the basket behind him.
The vehicles in the convoy would alternate positions with each other every once in a while. Chen Chuan noticed that their actions were very organized and well-equipped. Most of them had on-board radios, and there were also people responsible for reminding the activity index.
Perhaps due to long-term living in this environment and some special implants, these people have strong resistance to activation. Not only are their activity indexes not high, but their range of numerical activity is also not large.
We did encounter other armed teams on the road, but perhaps because the mercenary team was more famous or because they were more vigilant, we did not attack them.
After going out for a while, the buildings on both sides gradually became less and less, and the plants on both sides gradually became denser from sparse. The number of creatures in the blending area increased, and some even followed the convoy. At this time, people in the convoy would occasionally
Shooting a few shots outward is obviously to deter these things.
Baomi said: "Sir, if we don't encounter anything on the way, it will take us about half a day to get there, so we will definitely not have time to come back today, and we will definitely have to spend the night there." Then he whispered: "Sir, if you need us to do anything, please say hello.
Just one sound is all it takes.”
Chen Chuanchuan: "Captain Baomi, you are a responsible captain. I will tell you before I do anything."
"Hey, thank you for taking care of me, sir."
They set out at eight o'clock in the morning, and near noon they saw the town in the distance. The place was located on a high ground and had many checkpoints around it.
At this moment, Chen Chuan saw something lying in the grass. It was like some kind of beetle with long wings, almost as high as a person's waist, with a dark and shiny carapace. When the motorcade passed in front of him, the long tentacles in front were there.
It swayed for a while.
Baomi said: "These black beetles are raised by the indigenous people in the villages and towns. Their carapace is very thick and cannot be penetrated by ordinary firearms. They are also very fast and there are many of them. Only with these things can they gain a foothold here."
Chen Chuan snorted. Without these things, I am afraid that they would have been defeated by the raiding team of the old imperial family, and the villages and towns would not be able to hold on now. It is conceivable that in addition to these things, there are definitely third-level fighters here.
After a bumpy road, the convoy arrived at the main entrance to the town. There were barbed wire fences on both sides, and a trench filled with barbs was dug around it.
As the armed personnel on the checkpoint raised flags, the well-prepared mercenary group gradually stopped the car. Immediately afterwards, fully armed personnel came out of the checkpoint one by one and asked all people in the car to get out of the car for inspection.
.
Baomi was well prepared and cast a look back. Jasmine got out of the car and walked towards the person in charge of the checkpoint with her waist swaying. She negotiated with him and stuffed something into the person's hand.
After the person in charge of the checkpoint got the things, his expression obviously relaxed a lot. He did not force everyone to get out of the car, and then ran to the back to check the "goods" they had transported.
Then he led people to each car, individually confirmed each person in the car, and asked them to report their names.
Baomi frowned. It wasn't so strict before. Although they can continue to stuff benefits, they can't give too much, otherwise the other party will think there is something wrong with you. But fortunately, as a mature team, he
It has already been prepared.
The person in charge of the checkpoint walked up to their car at this time. He obviously knew Baomi. He looked at Chen Chuan, who was covering his head, and asked warily: "Who is this?"
Baomi grinned, "The employer of our team, come here to try something new this time." Then he gave the other party a knowing look.
The person in charge of the checkpoint was obviously not easy to fool, so he asked cautiously: "What employer? Tell me your name and identity?"
Baomi made a phone call gesture with her hand, "It's not convenient for me to say, you can ask the 'Seventh Boss', I have said hello to him in advance."
The person in charge looked at him and asked others to stare at him. He ran back to make a phone call. After a while, he put down the phone and waved to the armed officers below to let people in.
Baomi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's done."
Chen Chuan nodded slightly.
The convoy successfully passed the checkpoint and drove up the upward slope to the high ground. After reaching the top, Chen Chuan took a look outside. Unexpectedly, the town was not a backward place as imagined outside. What appeared in front of him was a prosperous city.
small town.
The first thing I entered was a tall field screen erected in the square. At the moment, it was showing a fighting event. The difference was that the fighting object was a fighter and a fusion creature. Soon I saw the man
The fighter staggered for a moment, and then the fusion creature pressed on him, and his head was chewed off in an instant.
As this scene appeared, some of the people around cheered and shouted, while others uttered unpleasant curses and smashed the things in their hands.
Baomi said next to him: "These local powers are following the example of Shengu City, but only their trustworthy customers will be brought there. We can only stay in the places specified by them. Sir, why don't we find a place to live first?
Then we will contact the informant to confirm the situation?"
Chen Chuan looked at a certain place at this time and said: "There is no need to look for the informant. You should stay far away first, and then be ready to fight."
"Um?"
Baomi's expression tightened. He did not ask Chen Chuan what he wanted to do specifically, but nodded and said decisively: "Understood!"
Chen Chuan pushed the door open, got out of the car, and walked in a certain direction.
After arriving here, Hongfu conveyed a message to him. The true tree was indeed located here, but it was not located on the surface, but beneath the high ground!
Hongfu's judgment should be correct, because when Assistant Ling opened the blending area last time, Hongfu recorded the field information of the tree, so he discovered it after getting closer.
In this case, the next actions will not violate the agreement, and he does not need to be secretive anymore.
Following Hong Fu's guidance, he ignored the people on the sentry tower around him and found a place to stand, staring at the ground. Then he raised his fist, and a faint light began to shine on it.
