76. Ancient Iron City
Soon, Dad and the others received "greetings" from the sentry at the top.
"Bang!" The bullet hit the ground in front of their car, sending up a cloud of dust.
"Stop, who are you? If you keep going forward, don't blame us for being rude!" the sentry shouted.
"Who are you? Don't come near here!"
"Don't get me wrong! We are just here to find a friend. Please inform us that we are looking for Mr. Su!" Raven jumped out of the car and shouted upstairs.
Dad's convoy has 10 cars. Such a huge team is driving in the eastern wilderness with billowing smoke. Although it is not uncommon, there is absolutely no gang that dares to approach at will, let alone those violent ones.
A lone killer.
In particular, Dad's car has obvious flame candle marks, and you can tell he is a member of a gang at a glance.
Hearing Raven's call, the two people on the sentry post did not hesitate for a moment, and soon someone went to report it.
More than 30 people cheered and got out of the car. This inconspicuous little village - or a small stronghold, looked spectacular. This place was desolate and remote, and there had never been so many people there at once.
A few minutes later, Dad and the others saw the old man named Su. He wore a boat cap on his head, and his silver hair was stubbornly curled around his ears. His face was old, but in his eyes, there was a look that had been acquired through vicissitudes of life.
Calm and wise.
Next to him was a giant man with bulging muscles covered with chains. He also carried a huge sack behind him. I wonder if it contained all the luggage of these two people.
"Haha, you are here - not bad, very good, very good!" The old man looked at everyone with a hawk-like gaze, and even said two "very good" words without knowing whether they were true or false, with a look on his face.
With a rather city-like smile.
The raven didn't speak, and looked at the old man unblinkingly, as if trying to identify something.
"Oh! Are you Mr. Su? Nice to meet you! I didn't expect that a big businessman like you would actually live in such a remote village - in other words, you are simply a reclusive businessman.
ah."
Dad said with a trembling fat face.
He felt like he had seen this old man somewhere and looked familiar, but he really couldn't remember it. Maybe he was someone who looked like him.
After both parties had finished expressing their polite words, the old man spoke.
"I wonder where you want to go? You know, although the Central Continent is very vast, there are so many people there that they are very conspicuous no matter where you go!"
"Well - well, actually we have thought of this a long time ago. If we go forward, we will act in batches. We are not very familiar with the situation here. If we want to do business here, we will need your skills.
It would be nice to have some help from home!" Dad said.
"I can't say that I'm helping. If I'm talking about helping, I actually hope you can help me!" the old man said calmly.
Huh? What? He needs our help?
Dad and his subordinates, King Chen Liu and Raven, looked at each other with questions in their eyes. What does this old man need from us?
""
"Haha, don't worry too much. This favor shouldn't be difficult for you. If you can help me with this favor, I will definitely give you unimaginable rich rewards! Absolutely, believe me! Me neither
I will force it, and the decision is up to you. Whether you are willing to help me or not is up to you."
The corners of the old man's mouth moved, revealing a few yellowed teeth, but his eyes were still full of confidence in what he just said.
"Then tell me what I can do for you. Also, what kind of information can you tell us?"
"It's very simple. Escort me to Shacheng. Once you get there, everything will be easy to talk about." The old man said.
"Huh? What? Is it that simple?"
Dad asked, and everyone looked at each other. What kind of help is this? The places they were originally going to include Shacheng. This kind of help is not easy.
"Yeah! That's right, I said it was very simple, right?" The old man curled his lips again and smiled.
"What do you want to know? Now you can tell me and listen. I will tell you everything I know."
Dad couldn't decide how to tell him the purpose of coming to the Central Continent this time. This was an extremely secret purpose! It was impossible for them to tell it to an outsider.
"Aha! That's right, we come from the west - the barren wasteland you usually think of. There is one of our underground farms there. We want to see if we can invite some researchers or technicians here. By the way,
I’m also doing some business here.”
Although what dad said is not completely untrue, it is basically half of the truth.
However, he knew that on this continent, any large gang or regional leader would have extremely strict management of their scientists and technicians.
On the one hand, they are afraid that their technological level will be surpassed by hostile forces. On the other hand, they are also because these people are extremely rare in this era, and getting one can make a great contribution to the development of this area.
Therefore, in the past hundred years, in the Central Continent, especially in these powerful areas, in addition to developing the population and increasing the probability of the appearance of these scientists, it has also been to develop itself, increase its strength, and attract or plunder these technologies from other places.
population.
Even, in order for them to feel at ease and contribute to their work here, they must constantly improve their various conditions and meet their requirements, in order to keep them for their own use.
This is the advantage of talents. In any era and in any place, this is the inevitable result of the development of civilization—and a fact that cannot be changed.
"Oh, is that so? It doesn't matter. I will tell you slowly what I know."
After speaking, the old man slowly looked at the people in front of him. His eyes slowly swept across everyone's faces. When he saw the raven, his eyes seemed to pause for an extra second.
"Wang Hu! Do you know about those scholars?" The old man suddenly turned around and said to the giant man behind him.
The giant man was stunned. He didn't know why the old man asked him that.
"Uh! -" the giant man faltered.
"Oh? It seems that you know better, at least you know more than me!" The old man smiled.
In fact, he didn't say anything!
The giant man suddenly leaned down and whispered to the old man.
This action made Dad and the others very nervous!
Because this is obviously something they don’t want their group to hear. This move is very suspicious, very suspicious!
"Hahaha!" The old man suddenly laughed.
Dad even seemed a little nervous and took a small step back.
"It's okay! Don't worry, my bodyguard just thought of something and told me. Haha, it's not a big deal," the old man said with a smile.
It’s getting more and more suspicious!
