Chapter 743: The Convoy of Iron Eaters
"There's a convoy ahead!" Huo Chi actually felt a little excited, the snow leopard team was walking alone on the desert, and they were only accompanied by monsters that might attack at any time, that kind of nervousness and loneliness made Huo Chi feel a trace of anticipation after seeing other humans.
But while looking forward to it, he also felt a hint of danger.
"Enter the alert state!" Fu Ze did not hesitate to open the safety of the assault rifle in his hand, it is not necessarily a good thing to meet a living person in this kind of place, no matter what, you must be careful.
Yuanbing 008 gradually approached the convoy, and everyone nervously looked at the convoy with their guns in hand, and found that the convoy was likely to be a caravan.
Most of their vehicles are converted vans, with only a small number of jeeps and pickups.
There were about two dozen large and small cars in the convoy, and they were parked on the side of the road, apparently because the lead truck had broken down.
The composition of the convoy looked complicated, both human and subhuman, and when they saw the snow leopard team, many of them pointed their guns at Yuanbing 008.
Both teams met with guns pointed at each other, a situation that is not common in the main continent, but it is a daily occurrence in the subcontinent.
Especially in a wasteland like this, where there are no laws, no rules, and God knows what kind of people you meet.
Sometimes, people would rather encounter monsters than humans. Because monsters will only attack or flee when they encounter humans, but humans are different.
People may pretend to be friendly and approach, but in the end they will give a fatal blow when everyone is not looking, and the feeling of being attacked in the back is something that no one wants to encounter.
So, when the snow leopards carefully stopped next to the caravan's damaged head caravan, the people in the convoy immediately raised their guns.
"Who are you, where did you come from, why did you stop?!" a human man pointed his assault rifle at Fu Ze, who came out of the probe.
"We are on an expedition, coming from the Columbia district, in the direction of Newburgh. Fu Ze knew that it was best to tell the truth at this time to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
"Why stop when you're on your way?" the man's gun didn't mean to be put down at all.
"Uh... Don't be nervous, we don't have any ill will. Fu Ze carefully lowered the assault rifle in his hand, he had already carefully observed the caravan while communicating with the man.
There is nothing unusual about this caravan in terms of vehicle and personnel composition, this is the kind of small caravan that is common in the subcontinent, and there should be no threat.
The Snow Leopards are still more than a day away from Newburgh, and the closer they get to Newburgh on their next journey, the more likely they are to encounter monsters.
Monsters from the subcontinent often raid towns and cities, and Newburgh is no exception. Therefore, Fu Ze really wanted to be able to travel with this caravan for the rest of the journey, which would be much safer.
It's just that the people of the caravan are still very wary of the snow leopard team, and he must deal with it carefully.
"Hurry up, don't stop! or we'll shoot." "The people in the caravan are still very nervous, they are very afraid of the people in the round ice 008, what if these people are here to rob the caravan? Although they seem to have only one car, there may be accomplices hiding in the distance.
"Is your car broken?" Fu Ze kept a smile on his face.
"yes, it's bad, but it's your business. The man was still very unkind to Fu Ze.
"I wanted to ask you if you need help, we have a car repair here. Fu Ze tried to say what he thought. He could tell that the gang's car had been repaired for a long time.
The mechanic's face and hands were covered in black oil, but the car showed no signs of repair.
This shows that their car is very difficult to repair, or that the level of this mechanic is limited.
"Hmph, let's go, we can fix it ourselves. The man shook the gun in his hand and motioned to Fu Ze for them to hurry up.
"Wait a minute. At this moment, a voice came from the crowd, Huo Chi looked in the direction of the sound, but he almost didn't laugh.
The rough voice came from a subhuman, a burly and stout subhuman, with a pair of sturdy bear paws crossed on his chest, and at first glance he looked like a strength bear-type subhuman.
It's just that the coat color and body shape of this bear-type subhuman are very different from other bear-type subhumans, and his coat color is not brown, but black and white!
Huo Chi looked at the two pieces of black hair on the outside of this subhuman's eyes, and suppressed his laughter, he quietly asked Su Qingqing, "He is a panda type?"
"Panda? no, he's an iron-eating beast, a subspecies of bear-type subhumans. Su Qingqing said: "However, you said that he is a panda... It's really a bit like some kind of cat, poof-" Su Qingqing couldn't help but laugh.
Iron-eating beast? Isn't that what ancient China called a panda? This guy is really a panda! Huo Chi got Su Qingqing's answer, but it became even more clear that this person was a national treasure-type subhuman.
"I haven't seen this kind of subhuman before, isn't it rare?" Huo Chi became even more curious.
"yes, I haven't seen this kind of subhuman in a long time. Su Qingqing said: "I have seen this kind of sub-people in China a few times before, and it is the first time I have encountered it in the subcontinent." ”
"Is there anything different between this subhuman and an ordinary bear-shaped subhuman?" Huo Chi had a natural curiosity about national treasures.
"Yes. Su Qingqing said: "They have a better temper than ordinary bear-shaped subhumans, and it is said that they usually only eat vegetarian food, and occasionally eat some iron tools." ”
"So it's called an iron-eating beast?" Huo Chi was a little surprised, speaking of which, pandas do like to eat vegetarian foods such as bamboo, but pandas also love meat.
In the previous world, it was not often for him to see the news of a panda or a sheep eating anywhere. So, pandas aren't supposed to be vegetarians, so why do panda-shaped subhumans only eat vegetarian food? It's a bit strange.
"Well, because of this, when they were first classified, they were named iron-eating beast-type subhumans. Su Qingqing said: "Don't look at them are usually very gentle, and when they really start their temper, they are even more fierce than ordinary bear-type subhumans." ”
That's for sure, the same is true for pandas, they look simple and cute, but they are actually full beasts. Huo Chi nodded slightly when he heard this, and at this time, the iron-eating beast-type subhuman had already come to the side of Yuanbing 008.
He was very tall, standing next to Yuanbing 008 and had to lower his head to talk to Fu Ze, he put his arms down, looked at Fu Ze carefully and said, "You are from the Huaxia Expedition?"
"Yes. Fu Ze nodded and said, "You are also from Huaxia, right?"
"Hmm. The Iron Eater said, "Why don't you stay in the main continent? Now the situation of monsters in the subcontinent is even more serious than before, and it is very dangerous for you to go it alone." ”
"I had a task on my shoulders and had to come out. Fu Ze replied simply, he glanced at the panda and said, "What about you, why did you leave Huaxia?"
