Chapter 224: A New Clue

Wu Qi and his entourage came fast and left quickly. When Wu Qi left, he didn't let anyone in the department store know except Hewen.

When Wu Qi was downstairs in the department store and handed the key to the warehouse to Hewen, everything was like a dream for Hewen.

He Wen looked at the key lying in the palm of his hand in a daze, and then looked up at Guo Baibai and Gao Yuan, who were moving supplies to the back compartment of the pickup truck.

Wu Qi and the others filled half of the rear compartment with gasoline and half of the rear compartment with bottled water, covered the rear compartment with a gray linen, fixed it with a rope, and immediately prepared to set off.

Before leaving, Wu Qi walked around to Hewen, he didn't say much, just said simply: "Hewen, don't be a mob." ”

He Wen suddenly knelt on his knees and bowed for a long time: "Yes, Lord Wu!" Your great kindness and virtue will be remembered in this life! ”

The rough engine of the pickup truck sounded, and the long exhaust fumes drove off into the distance. When Kazumi looked up, the pickup truck had turned into a blur of shadows.

Wu Qi drove the pickup truck to lead Guo Baibai, Gao Yuan, and July on the long road to the wilderness again. If it were someone else, sitting in the wilderness, a treasure trove of supplies that could spare food and water for a year, would have long been king.

Wu Qi originally wanted to use the department store as a temporary location, and then consider the way out; But even if the materials in the department store are ten or a hundred times richer, what does it have to do with him Wu Qi. He always remembers that when he went out of the mountains and entered the world, his goal was to find Ruoying.

If he can stand beside Sister Ruoying again, look at her like he once did, and act with her, Wu Qi is willing to cut all the thorns in this world and step on all the sword mountains in this world.

The five-kilometer journey is very short, Wu Qi runs with his own legs, and it doesn't take two or three minutes to get there. Compared to this, the old pickup truck was a little slow, so slow that Wu Qi's calm heart was rarely a little irritable.

At the end of the horizon and constantly zooming in is a small town. The small town has a large iron gate three meters high, and the door is open, so that you can see the inside of the small town from the outside.

Along the way, some people enter small towns, and some leave small towns. Of the three, Takato, who had passed through the most safe zones, had never seen such a scene in any of them.

The people who came in and out were not dressed in tatters, and a considerable number of them were neatly dressed and carried large and small packages. From the faces of the pedestrians, the muscular state of their bodies, and the sparkle of their eyes, Wu Qi could tell that these people were not the lowest class of homeless people in the wilderness, at least they were all capable enough to make a living.

It seems that the circulation capacity of money, materials, and information in this safe zone will not be low. Wu Qi said in his heart.

The pickup truck slowed down near the big iron gate, and there were two people standing at the door with a hail on their backs. Play. Gun sentry. A man who saw the person in the pickup truck raised his gun and said solemnly: "Stop immediately." ”

Wu Qi stepped on the brakes, opened the door and got out after the car stopped.

The sentry was a young man, dressed neatly. He glanced at the trunk of the pickup truck and began to interrogate, "What's in the back compartment?" ”

"It's the wilderness, you want to check our car?" Wu Qi asked lightly.

"There are rules where there are, and who knows if you are a mob or not!"

After the young sentry finished speaking, he walked straight to the back of the car, Wu Qi reached out and pinched the young sentry's right wrist and lifted it to the top of his head. Wu Qi's five fingers were like iron tongs, and the young sentry couldn't move his wrist with all his strength.

"What do you do! Dare to use force? The young sentry said angrily.

Another older sentry saw the commotion made by Wu Qi and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"This new outsider doesn't understand the rules, and he still uses force, uncle, you don't do it yet!" The young sentry said fiercely. If his right hand could be lowered now, he would definitely shoot Wu Qi.

Wu Qi was not afraid of the threat of the sentry, and it was important to keep his wealth in the wilderness, and he didn't want to expose a cart of gasoline and bottled water to the crowded road because of the other party's unreasonable demands.

"That's it," Wu Qi suddenly let go of the young sentry's wrist and took out four 7.62mm rounds from his tactical belt, "You take these as the cost of entering this door." ”

The 7.62 mm bullet is one of the most powerful bullets in the wilderness, both pistols and rifles can be used, compared to the 9 mm bullet that cannot hurt mutated animals, the 7.62 mm bullet is more versatile, and it is a high-value hard currency, often three bottles of pure water can be exchanged for one.

The older sentry was more clever, and he immediately took the bullet from Wu Qi's hand, as if he was afraid that Wu Qi would regret it. Then he pulled the young sentry behind him and said with a pleasant face: "You guys go in, the rear compartment will not be checked." But if you make trouble, the 'lords' will not let you go. ”

Wu Qi let out an "um", then got back into the driver's seat and drove the pickup truck slowly into the small town.

The appearance of the small town was reflected in the eyes of Wu Qi and the others little by little, and they gradually pieced together a comprehensive picture of the town in their hearts.

Most of the houses in the town are made of wood and stone bricks, the roofs are tiled, and the houses have one or two floors, and you can always see the slender ropes for drying clothes under the eaves of the second floor. These houses have a very ancient feel and are not leftover from the era of civilization, but were built after the end of the world.

The town is built on rugged stone slabs, and the roads extend in all directions, sometimes high and sometimes low, and the slope is different due to the terrain. In the center of the town stand a few tall trees with a verdant canopy, and the northeast corner connects to a blue lake. Half of the town is built around a large lake, and there are many drifting wooden boats at the shore of the river.

In the perilous wilderness, water is the source of life for humans and for dangerous creatures. Where there is a lot of water, there will be powerful mutated creatures, which is common knowledge in the wilderness. On the one hand, the town by the lake can obtain a continuous supply of water through water purification devices, and on the other hand, it runs the risk of being attacked by aquatic mutant animals.

The inhabitants of these towns dare to paddle their boats onto the lake, can they be assured that there are no dangerous aquatic mutant creatures in the lake? Wu Qi had a question in his heart.

Wu Qi drove a pickup truck to the center of the town, where there was a small cobblestone square with a large black banyan tree with wide shade, and a flower bed with a radius of 2 meters was placed in the center of the square. In the square in the center of the town, you can see many residents coming and going, you can see shabby clothes and well-dressed.

Wu Qi found that the town faintly exuded a sense of vitality. People and things are like flowing living water.

It is also a safe zone, but this town can be managed to this extent, perhaps this is inseparable from the "lord" in the sentry gate. However, the top priority was to find "Gu Tiedan", Wu Qi casually found someone on the road and asked, and learned that "Gu Tiedan" was in the tavern in the northwest of the town.
