Chapter 285 Fast Forward
After leaving the Lightcasting City and driving outside the city, the environment changed from extremely cold frost and snow to scorching sun in a short period of time, which had a considerable impact on the road. However, in front of the tens of millions of credit points of the "Fansta replica", even the most dilapidated roads can be walked on flat ground.
After driving for half an hour and completely entering the wasteland, after confirming that there were no pedestrians and buildings, Song Shi pressed a few keys to transform the car into convertible mode, and then increased the speed by several levels, rushing forward against the fierce airflow that hit him head-on.
Boom boom boom——!
The bright sunshine sprinkled down with an extremely extravagant attitude.
In the rolling dust dragged behind the car, Song Shi grabbed the steering wheel and let out a series of distorted laughs. Unfortunately, after laughing for a long time, Lapis Lazuli didn't say anything, and the body didn't move, only the lines on the body flashed from time to time, probably immersed in the online world.
—— Bang!
A bang suddenly resounded through the wilderness.
Before the explosion, there was a "track" that went straight through the atmosphere and crashed into the running car.
Wasteland bandits!
During the period when the Enlightened One took over Zhuguang City, a considerable number of people, mainly those with rich assets, chose to flee Zhuguang City. Among them, those who were rich but not that rich, were reluctant to buy the inter-city flights that were skyrocketing and priced out, and chose to hire some security to walk through the wasteland, which suddenly became the primary target of the bandits recently!
Song Shi pressed the steering wheel with one hand, and with the other hand, he pulled out the "Allow III" medium-range kinetic pistol on the shelf next to him and fired two shots to the side and front.
Then there was a bang, and the sniper bullet that penetrated was hit in advance and deviated from the trajectory. Then there was a bang, and the second bullet suddenly burst into flames, turning into a stream of flames, hitting a small hill a kilometer away, and the explosive flames rose into the sky, and the hill melted into the shape of a pit volcano in an instant.
The bandit, along with his sniper rifle and prosthetic body, turned into ashes.
Song Shi didn't even look at the melted hill, flipped his pistol, put it back on the rack, and continued driving.
He killed three more waves of bandits in succession. Perhaps his reputation spread in the chat group among the bandits. The nearby bandits knew that there was a tough guy and they couldn't afford to offend him. The road behind became much calmer and boring.
Song Shi was bored driving, so he switched to the automatic driving mode, sank his chair back, and simply lay down to look at the data tablet. With Lapis Lazuli, a depth 4 demon, there was no shortage of traffic and the speed was fast, so it was very smooth to brush things.
After several hours, they were approaching the border of the Rockal Plain. Just as Song Shi began to think about what to eat later, the outline of the building gradually emerged at the end of the horizon.
"——Lapis Lazuli! Stop surfing the Internet! Get off the car and take a break!" Song Shi made up his mind and knocked on the body of Lapis Lazuli in the back seat, then sat up again: "Let me see where the camouflage is. Here, just press it. It's done."
The surface of the originally luxurious car was covered with circles of water ripples. At a speed visible to the naked eye, the body structure was significantly deformed, becoming the most common civilian model. At the same time, the paint was like the scales of a chameleon, quickly fading in color, replaced by a layer of old, dusty brown.
——Camouflage module·[Nano coating].
The grade of this "Vesta" belongs to the level that even people who don't know anything about cars can recognize at a glance that it is a luxury car.
Considering the next trip, although Song Shi was not afraid, some unnecessary troubles should be avoided if possible, otherwise it would be really annoying.
"Pass, one-time, 200 credit points. No bargaining, get out if you think it's too expensive."
Two steel gates blocked the way. The bald strong man guarding the gate glanced at the car, swung his huge mechanical arm and approached, knocking on the car window without hesitation.
This small town marked as "Burke" on the map has a permanent population of about hundreds. To survive in the wasteland, it is obvious that they cannot be too law-abiding.
The other party rolled down the window and looked young, but the strong man just glanced at it. After confirming that the credit points had arrived, he threw a look to his accomplice who was pointing a gun at the car next to him. The latter raised the gate and removed the rusty sharp steel spikes on the ground.
The car started again and drove slowly past.
"Why do I feel that person is familiar?" After driving for a while, the strong man suddenly muttered, but soon he put it out of his mind and fell into the colorful online gambling again.
"The atmosphere in this place is a bit subtle."
The car stopped at an open-air parking lot, and Song Shi pushed the door and got out of the car.
He looked around and sniffed: "It feels a bit depressing to me."
"--In your corporate alliance, where is not depressing?" Lapis Lazuli flew out of the car.
It also temporarily changed its form, and the fuselage shrank a lot compared to the original, floating beside Song Shi, looking like a spherical drone.
"If you say so, then I can only admit it." Song Shi spread his hands: "I really envy the freedom, harmony and ease of the intelligent machine."
As he said, he walked out of the parking lot.
In just a few hours, the supplies prepared by the Enlightened Ones were almost not consumed, and there was no need to replenish them. The only purpose of Song Shi parking here was to simply breathe and relax.
Although there was nothing worth seeing.
Old, wild, filled with the smell of engine oil, rust and dust, a fairly typical wasteland settlement appearance.
On the street, except for necessary places such as mechanical repair shops, prosthetic clinics and casinos, most of the shops were closed along the way, and there were few pedestrians along the way. Only the sound of hot wind could be heard, as if everyone was ordered to stay at home.
"There are still people following us." Song Shi raised his eyebrows.
He could feel that after entering the town through the gate, a tail appeared behind him not long after. However, the tracking and stalking method was a bit too bad. Even if the psychic power had not reached the third ring, the other party could not hide it from him.
After walking for a while, Song Shi suddenly turned his head.
He stopped and looked at an alley. The next moment he disappeared from the spot and went inside.
In the depths of the alley, the garbage had already overflowed and accumulated a thick pile next to the trash can. In this mountain of garbage, a short figure was digging something and stuffing it into the plastic bag next to it from time to time.
For a moment, the child raised his head and was about to change places when he caught a glimpse of the silhouette standing behind him from the corner of his eye.
He was stunned.
The next moment, he picked up the bag, kicked up the garbage, and rushed forward without hesitation.
The red-gold flame bloomed silently, and the burning wind swept through, burning all the garbage, even the strange smell that was diffused, and burned it all.
Song Shi pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the shocked other party: "My suggestion is not to move."
This is a child who looks about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing an unusually loose and dirty clothes, and his forehead is full of scars. However, except for the barcode scanner on his right wrist, the other party has no other implants.
"Let's talk about the situation in this place." Song Shi looked fierce and shook the muzzle of the gun: "Do you see this? I advise you to be honest, kid."
Looking at the muzzle of the gun, the shock in the other party's eyes disappeared instantly, and before Song Shi asked, he poured out all at once.
Burke Town is located in the wasteland, far away from the city. The most powerful person in the town is Old Som, because he got the distribution agency rights of Fubo Energy in Burke Town, firmly grasped the lifeline of the town, energy, and based on this, he also raised a group of armed men, who were rampant and killed and taken away by force. He can be said to be the uncrowned king of Burke Town.
But when Fubo Energy collapsed, Old Som's distribution agency rights were automatically reclaimed. He was reluctant to give up the foundation laid by Burke Town, but he continued to stay here, but he was afraid that the Enlightened Ones would come to kill him and settle accounts. Old Som never made up his mind, but ordered the whole town not to go out, let alone leave the town. At the same time, he ordered his men to be alert to outsiders at all times, and stayed in the mansion for himself, as if thinking about something.
"Okay, you don't need to say anything."
Song Shi put away his fierceness, and while casually handed the other party a black coin data card, he tilted his head and looked at Lapis Lazuli, who replied: "I searched the local information, and the situation is basically consistent."
Song Shi nodded, he pressed his shoulder, and his bones made a crackling sound.
The next moment, starting from the alley, a surging flame flow crossed the town, spanning a distance of thousands of meters, and hit the luxurious mansion in the center of the town!
