Underworld Retrograde - #179 - Chapter 177 Meeting the Red Dart Again
Under the starry sky, an armored vehicle drove into the wilderness alone. The dazzling headlights cut through the darkness, echoing with the bright starry sky.
Li Yelai looked out the window silently at the night.
This was his first time leaving the giant city. Although he had heard many scavengers bragging in antique shops, it was also his first time to see the wilderness with his own eyes.
Leaving the giant city means being away from human civilization.
There was desolation and ruins in sight. The once prosperous city has also turned into a ruined building. The highways and viaducts that were once like blood vessels have now collapsed and shattered.
In the field of vision, the lights of the giant city gradually disappeared in the distance, replaced by the twinkling stars in the wilderness.
This night sky was clearer and more magnificent than what he saw in the giant city, as if countless eyes were watching him.
The wilderness under the night sky was quiet and mysterious, but it also had unknown dangers.
And after leaving the gate of the giant city for a while, the road conditions became worse.
The road is made of hard sand and gravel, which is completely different from the flat roads in the giant city. This is the result of the occasional repair of the giant city. If it is far away from the giant city, there will probably be no road at all.
No wonder the scavengers and handlers like to drive off-road vehicles. If they drive a low-chassis sedan or sports car, wouldn’t they be killed in the wilderness?
But there is no way. The living area of human beings is locked in the giant city.
It is impossible to build a long and effective road outside the giant city.
Even if it is built, it will be destroyed.
“Before the disaster, there were a lot of roads and houses on this land. More than 1.4 billion people live and work on this land. Every village and town has a road. The total length is more than 5 million kilometers.” The little mad king said while stepping on the accelerator.
1.4 billion people, more than 5 million kilometers of roads.
Li Yelai was a little emotional.
People in this era can hardly imagine how prosperous and rich it would be before the disaster.
In this era, population is very important.
The giant city can only develop if it has enough population.
The No. 3 border city can be said to be one of the most populous megacities.
Tens of millions, even if, after the No. 71 disaster fog, many people immigrated to other megacities, the population was more than 7 million, surpassing most megacities.
But even if these megacities, one by one, the three border cities, the lava mining city, Yaoqing, Kunlun, Shuchuan, Bashu and other megacities added together. It is estimated that there are no more than 300 million people, right?
Let alone the roads, in today’s era, the transportation in the megacities is still convenient.
But in the wilderness, it is good to have a dirt road.
The handlers have to travel through mountains and rivers to enter the restricted area. So much so that half of the time they are on the road when they are carrying out the mission.
“So, every time I see the desolate scenery in the wilderness, I understand the old man’s belief in wanting to recover 12.6 million square kilometers of territory.” The little mad king said. The old man she was talking about was naturally the old mad king who took her in and trained her.
“I can understand it too.” Li Yelai nodded in agreement.
As an old man who had seen the prosperous scene before the disaster, the old mad king naturally wanted to restore the world to its proper appearance.
Let compatriots no longer be in danger of disasters and restricted areas, and take back the living space of mankind from the restricted areas and disaster fog!
“Unfortunately, it is difficult for him to see this scene with his own eyes,” the little mad king whispered.
The next topic was very heavy, and the old mad king’s condition was getting worse and worse.
Let alone recovering the country, now he had to pay all the prices for a hearty battle.
His curse was too terrible, and the fighting in his early years depleted his vitality.
The mad king who was once arrogant enough to fight two restricted area kings alone has now become an old man.
His ambitions have not been fulfilled, but he is powerless.
If the border city loses the old mad king, how should humans face the restricted area? This is a heavy burden on all those who know the situation.
“So, we have to hurry up and grow up. The old man can’t protect us for long.” The little mad king said this very seriously.
Li Yelai also nodded seriously.
No matter how strong a genius is, if he doesn’t grow up, it will be illusory after all.
Seeing Li Yelai nod, the Little King of Madness seemed very satisfied: “Very good, after the mission is over, I will arrange special training for you. I will try to make you reach the fifth awakening as soon as possible. After the fifth awakening, even if you leave the giant city, you can walk freely.”
The Little King of Madness was not satisfied with Li Yelai’s promotion speed. After all, her promotion speed was very fast.
She used continuous battles and dangers to hone herself, successively opened up the Well of Soul, stepped onto the ladder of the fifth awakening, and stepped onto the road of the sixth awakening.
And Li Yelai has the “good thing” of meeting strong enemies, which is very suitable for this method.
The continuous arrival of powerful enemies will allow Li Yelai to hone himself at the fastest speed!
Li Yelai was a little worried when he heard this: “You won’t throw me into the restricted area and force me to use the strong enemy you must meet, right?”
“Don’t worry, I know.” The Little King of Madness responded.
Then, the vehicle continued to move forward.
It was bumping along an abandoned road. The road before the disaster had long been cracked due to disrepair and was difficult to drive.
They could only move forward along the road where the caravans traveled.
The destination was the Heavenly Kingdom, which was about 800 kilometers away from Border City No. 3.
However, due to the traffic and the range of activities in Black Source City, the two had to take a detour and it would take several days.
Because it was late at night, Li Yelai rarely saw other teams of scavengers, but he saw a gathering place from a distance.
Li Yelai’s body was very strong, and even his vision had improved.
You could see the light of the fire in the distance. The perimeter of the gathering place was surrounded by fences and iron sheets covered with a large amount of barbed wire. There were also armed men with firearms standing guard all around.
Most of the people in the gathering place are scavengers. Since they are not under the jurisdiction of the giant city, it is a truly lawless place.
Except for scavengers, or caravans in need of supplies, others will not approach easily, and don’t forget that they occasionally act as bandits. In a land outside the law, they will do anything.
However, it was quite noisy outside this gathering place. Li Yelai saw many armed men patrolling nearby.
I don’t know what’s going on?
This place is too far away from the border city and has long been out of the signal range of the giant city.
Naturally, Xiao Kuangwang also saw something strange in the gathering place. After a brief thought, she stopped the car on the side of the road and turned off the car lights.
“There may be strange things on the road ahead. Let’s disguise ourselves and go in to investigate. You will drive later.” Xiao Kuang Wang glanced at Li Yelai and said.
Li Ye came to understand. Both of them were wearing Ye Bu Sheng windbreakers. Under the windbreaker, the little mad king was wearing a tight-fitting black leather jacket that was good at movement.
Some are conspicuous, and they have to be disguised as scavengers. Otherwise, some people with evil intentions may have an overreaction.
The next second, the little crazy king unbuckled his seat belt, and then leaned over from the driver’s seat and climbed into the back seat.
As she leaned over, her perfect curves were exposed under the tight leather jacket. Her breasts under the tight leather jacket were soft and plump, her waist was slender, her buttocks were round and tight, and her long legs were even more sultry. Her movements were also indescribably smooth, like a water snake, sliding from the driver’s seat to the driver’s seat in an instant. On the back seat.
Li Yelai only felt a cold fragrance wafting from his side.
This made Li Yelai fall into deep thought. Can he get over it so flexibly?
Listening to the sound of the zipper being pulled down behind him, Li Yelai did not look back, but said, “Give me your clothes, and I’ll get out of the car and change.”
“It’s not necessary, I don’t care about this kind of thing, it will be fine soon.” Little Mad King’s voice with a slight smile came from behind.
Then, there was the sound of Si Si combing clothes across his skin.
After a few dozen seconds, the little mad king spoke again: “I’m ready, come here. I’ll take the passenger seat.”
“Okay. Give me some space.” Li Yelai turned around, climbed over the seat, and saw the little mad king in a jacket.
The looser black jacket covered her tall and slender curves. She also put on a gas mask to cover her beautiful face. Through the lenses of the gas mask, what she saw was a pair of beautiful eyes full of indifference. She also had a hunting knife and a pistol hanging on her waist, which really gave her the air of a scavenger.
“Don’t forget to load your weapons, don’t expose your flaws.” Little Mad King reminded, and then he slipped away from the co-pilot like a water snake again.
Li Yelai also started to change clothes. The officials had prepared a lot for this operation. Naturally, this also includes clothing when inquiring about information.
Li Yelai put on a dark assault jacket and a gas mask, and tied an ax and a large-caliber revolver around his waist.
After the disguise was over, Li Yelai drove towards the gathering place.
As the distance got closer, Li Ye saw it more clearly.
There were indeed many trucks and off-road vehicles parked outside this gathering place. There are also many armed guards with firearms.
“It seems to be a caravan?” Li Yelai said, his voice muffled because he was wearing a gas mask.
“Well, the scale is not small. It has almost taken over the gathering place.” Little Crazy King responded: “Let’s go there. Let’s see your luck.”
“What do you mean by my luck?” Li Yelai frowned, a little dissatisfied: “People in the world misunderstand me a lot.”
The Little Mad King glanced at him. Even she knew the name of Li Yelai, General of the Night Monster Spawner.
This doesn’t seem to have much to do with whether you can open Facebook or not, and you will encounter powerful enemies if you touch it or not. It’s just pure ‘good luck’, right?
It’s not Li Yelai’s fault.
To this day, Li Yelai still doesn’t know why he added a few merit points out of thin air when he and his doll were on a date for dinner.
As Li Yelai’s vehicle approached, armed men immediately signaled Li Yelai to slow down and stop.
A guard approached and shouted: “Where are you from? What are you doing?”
The guard looked at the two of them, and his probing eyes stayed on the little mad king for a while.
Although she was wearing a jacket that covered her figure, she could still tell that she was a woman. Moreover, he should be in good shape.
However, after noticing a pistol played by the little mad king, the guard withdrew his gaze.
“Border City No. 3, Wang Family Scavenger Team.” Li Yelai rolled down the window and responded. The Wang family scavenging team is an official identity. Yes, that’s the family of that old boy Wang De.
“The Wang family in Border City No. 3 is a down-and-out family.” The guard muttered.
Then, the guard shouted: “Come in and park for one hundred dollars a day. If you can’t accept it, park outside. We will not be responsible for anything that happens outside.”
It’s so dark. Li Yelai cursed in his heart, thanks to the official preparation of a lot of funds.
“Quick, those who don’t know think that my Wang family can’t afford parking! Don’t you know how our Wang family got started?” Li Yelai shouted.
“That’s right. Who doesn’t know about your Wang family? Then you should also know the rules and don’t shoot in gathering places. Otherwise, you will be fined.” The guard smiled and gestured to the back. The iron gate covered with steel wires slowly opened.
Li Yelai took out a pack of unopened cigarettes from his pocket and threw it to the guard at the door.
And asked: “Why are there so many people today? Is that caravan coming?”
Li Yelai doesn’t know how to smoke, but he knows that this method is very effective when entering the wilderness.
Sure enough, after taking the cigarette, the face of the armed guard instantly became friendly.
After weighing the cigarette in his hand for a while, he smiled and said: “The people from the Red Dart Chamber of Commerce are here. It seems that something happened on the business road. If you can get in touch with them, go to the Red Stone Bar to find them.”
Red Dart Chamber of Commerce? That chamber of commerce in Xu Shi?
Li Yelai nodded in understanding and immediately drove into the gathering place.
The gathering place was more lively than expected. It can even be said to be a feasting and feasting scene, richer than the nightlife in the giant city.
Various neon lights are flashing, and you can see scavengers with fierce faces, as well as women with heavy makeup and coquettishly soliciting customers. There are also casinos and some shady dealings.
A place outside the law, it really lives up to its name.
No wonder some people like to run to the wilderness. A scavenger Li Yelai came into contact with said that he often went to gathering places to buy newspapers.
Li Yelai thought to himself, “Don’t newspapers still have to be sold in the giant city?” Later, I realized what selling newspapers meant.
Li Yelai parked the car aside and asked: “I have been in contact with all the senior officials of the Red Dart Chamber of Commerce. Well, it is still a friendly contact. Maybe I can get information directly from them. But my official identity will be exposed.”
“It doesn’t matter, we are here just to get information.” Little Mad King said.
“Okay.” Li Yelai nodded, and the two got out of the car.
There is no need to worry about the safety of the vehicle, it is made by the equipment department. Most people really can’t figure it out.
However, the Little Crazy King finally attracted the attention of some scavengers.
But seeing that both of them were carrying pistols, they suppressed their thoughts. But he still looked at the little mad king with evil intentions.
Li Yelai stopped and frowned, thinking that if he offended them, he wouldn’t be fined.
The little mad king said calmly: “Don’t worry, keep moving forward.”
On the other side, in the private room of the Red Stone Tavern, Xu Shi was drinking with several senior executives of the chamber of commerce.
“There is nothing we can do. The two psychics we hired were killed. We have to avoid that route.”
“It will take a lot of time and we won’t be able to arrive in time. We will have to pay a lot of money.”
“Then hire a psyker here? Try your luck?”
“Damn it, if we hadn’t bumped into the officials of Border City No. 3 at that time, we would have had enough manpower.”
“Yes, even Sister Scar and Brother An were arrested and imprisoned. Otherwise, there should be a chance.”
The senior executives of the Chamber of Commerce were discussing in a hurry.
Xu Shi, who said nothing, smashed the wine bottle in his hand and said with a ferocious expression: “If I see that brat again, I will definitely do it.”
At this time, the door opened and someone pushed in and said, “Boss, there is an acquaintance looking for you.”
Look for it! What are you looking for? Didn’t you see that I am angry?
Xu Shi turned his head angrily and was about to yell, when he saw Li Yelai behind the man.
“Hey, Boss Xu Shi. It’s like meeting an old friend in a foreign country.” Li Yelai took off his gas mask and said.
Looking at that handsome face, the expressions of the senior executives of the Chamber of Commerce in the room changed, and they all looked at Xu Shi subconsciously.
It seems to be asking ‘Where did you just say? Oh, what will you do if you see him again? ’
Xu Shi’s expression instantly became very friendly, and he nodded and bowed while rubbing his hands.
“Brother, why are you here?” (End of chapter)
