Old Man Li sighed and pulled Ma Laosan away: "Old San, it's okay. This brother must have something to do with me." After saying that, he walked towards the King Kong. When he got there, he asked again: "Little brother, are you looking for me?" What's wrong with me?" He could tell that Shen Cong was not very old.
"Get in the car through the back door." Shen Cong closed the sunroof, walked to the rear compartment, and opened the armor.
When Mr. Li got into the car, he immediately turned off his armor, and then shouted: "Spread out, don't crowd around."
These survivors were somewhat numb, and they were not persistent after hearing the words, and slowly returned to their own lives. Only Ma Laosan was still watching and did not leave.
In the carriage.
Shen Cong was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "Your name is Old Man Li, right? I have been observing you for a long time."
One sentence made Old Li stunned for a moment.
"Little brother, do you know me?" Then Old Man Li looked at Shen Cong's explosive armor, as if he remembered something, "Are you... the evolver that Youhai mentioned?"
Shen Cong answered the question inappropriately: "How many survivors are there here?"
Old Man Li observed the situation and saw that Shen Cong had no explanation for his thoughts, so he replied: "There are about fifty people in Lishuiwan Community. They mainly come here to pick up waste. There is no water here, so you can't live here for a long time."
"You have a scavenging team?"
"Ah, yes, there are seven of us, and we often scavenge together. It's very dangerous outside, so we can't do it without cooperation."
"Tell me about the situation in the south of the city."
…
In the compartment at the rear of the carriage, Old Man Li explained the situation in the south of the city in detail. Basically, it was no different from what Zhang Youhai said that day. The difference is that something happened during this time.
First of all, of course, the occurrence of drought caused water shortages in the south of the city. Many survivors even had to buy fresh water from Wang Gen, who occupied the Yuxi River section. The drought has also reduced the number of orcs, evolved beasts, and evolved fish, and many survivors have begun to scavenge in places they did not dare to go before.
In the past few days, Old Man Li and the others have been raiding Sansheng Village. Sansheng Village used to be home to many orcs, all of whom were driven out of the south of the city. Now that group of orcs has left, and may have gone further. Where there is fresh water.
Because of the drought, many survivors died in the south of the city. The high temperature and heat were a huge crisis for the survivors who had not mutated and were malnourished.
The second was that the Dragon Slaying Group launched another attack on Wang Gen. Both sides killed many of their men. Even Wu Wenjun, the second in command of the Dragon Slaying Group, was shot, but he did not die, but was only injured.
Knowing that Wu Wenjun was injured, the secret force leader led a raid on the dragon-slaying group, and both sides handed over many of their subordinates.
Basically, it can be said that the three groups of evolutionary forces in the south of the city have barely reached the so-called tripartite confrontation. Of course, there are constant frictions. The dragon-slaying group wanted to capture the south of the city where Wang Gen was located, while the ANBU wanted to kill the dragon-slaying group. Wang Gen only wanted to dominate the south of the city and Yuxi River.
"My arrival seems to have broken the order in the south of the city..." Shen Cong's mind wandered, trying his best to imagine as many possibilities as possible and who would hurt him.
Shen Cong is self-aware, and he is not the kind of person who can handle complex situations with ease, take one step at a time, and play with others at his fingertips.
All his considerations were based on ensuring his own safety. He would rather wander alone in the wild than quarrel with others in the city.
But for supplies, he had to go into the city and was never able to isolate himself from the world.
After a while, Shen Cong asked again: "Old man Li, do you scavengers have a hard life?"
"It's no longer hard to make a living by picking up rags. Sometimes I have to risk my life to fight for it. I don't know when the world will end." Old Man Li sighed.
"Do you think the Dragon Slayers have diesel or gasoline under their belts?"
"Huh?" Old Man Li couldn't keep up with Shen Cong's leaping thinking. He was stunned for a moment before replying, "There should be. We have searched many basements before. Although the cars are rusty, the engines and fuel tanks are not. It was broken, but it was well preserved, and there was gasoline inside, so we made a lot of fires at the time.”
"Do you still have any?"
"No, it's all been paid as taxes."
"Did you just say that the car was rusty?"
Old Man Li nodded: "Yes, it stands to reason that the basement was not affected by the storm of the cataclysm, but when we first searched the basement, it was true that all the cars were rusty as if they had been there for several years."
"Why do Wang Dong and the others have three motorcycles? They are not iron men."
"They must have assembled that one themselves. When I first came to the south of the city, I saw their motorcycles, which were also rusty and obviously not matching. They were later painted with camouflage, so they were hard to tell."
Shen Cong was hesitant, saying that the cars and other equipment on the ground were corroded. But the basement was also corroded, which was unreasonable. The doomsday storm only lasted a month, and Shen Cong's own supplies also contained metal equipment, which was not corroded.
“Why is the car so rusty?”
"I don't know. If the cars weren't all embroidered, we could have driven away from here to Hefei. When the people from the military region took away the Evolver, it was because there weren't enough cars... By the way, little brother, you should be an iron man too. This big car, Is it yours..." Old Man Li asked curiously.
However, the frequency of Shen Cong's thinking is not on the same line as the frequency of ordinary people.
He did not give an explanation to Old Man Li, but said directly: "Old Man Li, we can make a deal. You should have guessed that I am short of diesel and gasoline. I plan to buy it from the Dragon Slaying Group, and I would like to ask you to be my agent. , help me transport the diesel back. After that, I can pay you for some food."
"No problem." Old Man Li agreed without thinking.
This made Shen Cong feel abnormal, but then Old Man Li's answer made him relax again.
"Youhai told us after he came back, little brother, you are a good person, and the food and medicine you gave us have helped us a lot. There are not many evolvers who are willing to treat us ordinary people as equals. Oh, don't worry , our team members have kept your information secret and have never told anyone else."
"Since you agreed, go back and wait. When the people from the Dragon Slaying Group show up, I will discuss the transaction plan with them. When the time comes, I need you... Also, my name is Huang Xiaoming."
…
Old Man Li got off the King Kong very reluctantly.
Before he got off the bus, he proposed the idea of hanging out with Shen Cong, but Shen Cong immediately rejected it. He only talked about this business, and after the conversation, they both walked away.
Shen Cong has never thought of taking in a younger brother, because without absolute guarantee of loyalty, it means the possibility of being stabbed in the back.
Had a quick bite to eat at noon.
Shen Cong sat in the driver's seat and stared at the two computer screens and the radar chart on his laptop. The movements around him were not hidden from his eyes. On his hand was a plastic box containing ant larvae, and he was going to study his two pet ants.
One of the mature larvae had grown to the thickness of an arowana oil barrel and was still eating and eating, eating a lot of Shen Cong's active cores.
The other mature larva, although it has grown to the thickness of an arowana oil barrel, has stopped eating and is huddled in the corner of the plastic box. Its body has gradually begun to undergo morphological changes, as if it has turned into gel - This is the process of pupation. This mature larva is about to pupate into an adult.
"One is still eating and the other has pupated. Could it be that one of these two ants is a worker ant and the other is a soldier ant?"
You can't tell what type of ant they are just from the larvae, but under Shen Cong's feeding, these two ants have reached the forefront of mutation. The mature larvae that are still eating have reached level 0.087, and the one that has turned into a pupa has also reached level 0.085, which is higher than the previous short-term soldier ant.
There is no doubt that the evolved beasts are constantly evolving and growing.
Close your eyes and rest your mind.
Shen Cong adjusted his mental state and sorted out the messy thoughts of the past few days.
Solving the siphon phenomenon is a top priority, but the solution has not yet been found. The limits of the King Kong are still being tested, and his own physical fitness is still slowly improving, and he is still far away from reaching level 1.
Next is diesel.
"Diesel... I hope it can be traded smoothly and replenished enough. I will leave for the main city immediately and transfer to Hefei City."
