Chapter 1669 Thunder Expendables

Chapter 1669 Thunder Death Squadron

Having said this, Shen Yuanbao sent a piece of information to Meng Chao.

It was the identity information of the car mechanic.

This vehicle repair shop is well-known in the neighborhood. Many wealthy people come here to modify their vehicles. Because of the special nature of the modification work, in order to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicles, the maintenance workers and modifiers here are all in related units.

I have registered and obtained the professional qualification certificate and grade certificate, so there is no problem of impersonation or even fictitious identity.

Information shows that this maintenance worker is called "Li Wei" and he was once a member of the Thunder Expendables.

The Thunderbolts are the collective name for the special transport convoys that traveled between the ruins of Dragon City and isolated wilderness strongholds during the Monster War.

At that time, humans and monsters were at hand-to-hand combat, often engaging in criss-crossing battles, and human supply lines were often washed to pieces by the tide of beasts.

Especially for forward bases that are far away from downtown Longcheng and inserted deep into the wasteland. Once surrounded by beasts, it is easy to fall into the dilemma of running out of ammunition and food.

There are also many advance bases built deep in the mountains with rugged or even no roads and jungles growing wildly.

The daily supply operations of these "isolated overseas" forward bases cannot be satisfied by air transportation.

Only bold and skilled senior drivers, driving specially modified off-road vehicles equipped with run-proof tires, crawler tracks and even crawling feet, can transport supplies one by one.

When the situation was at its most tense, the riders who were not afraid of death even had to fight their way through the overwhelming tide of beasts, crushing the remaining limbs and broken arms of the monsters, in order to break into the surrounded human stronghold and collect valuables.

Guns, ammunition and training resources were delivered to the soldiers who were fighting fiercely.

Of course, the casualty rate remains high in such special transportation operations.

Sometimes, in order to transport a box of ammunition and genetic medicine, more than a dozen senior riders sacrificed their lives, and they all went forward without hesitation.

This is where the word "dare to die" comes from.

Once upon a time, for middle- and low-level extraordinary beings with driving and mechanical talents, becoming a Thunder Expendator was quite a glorious thing.

As long as you can fight your way out of the surging beast tide, you can get a hefty reward, as well as the thanks and cheers of everyone surrounded by the beast tide.

However, with the end of the Monster War, Dragon City in particular has entered a new stage of transportation development. From the main urban area to various satellite cities to various advanced bases and crystal mineral veins, rails and highways have been laid, and various

Super large armored airships with astonishing load capacity also came out one after another, and the importance of the Thunderbolts was greatly reduced.

The reason is obvious.

Times have changed, and even ordinary people who have just learned to drive can drive heavy-duty trucks carrying dozens or even hundreds of tons at high speed on the highway.

There are drones and intelligent weapons equipped with monster nerves patrolling along the way to ensure that no fly can fly onto the highway.

Who needs the Thunderbolts? They drive specially modified vehicles that are like a cross between a steel hedgehog and a Bigfoot. They consume a lot of fuel but can't carry much cargo. They are rampaging through rugged mountain roads and overgrown forests.

, what about the arduous trek?

The former Thunder Expendables have changed careers one after another.

Some lucky ones became bus drivers, truck drivers and armored airship crews.

There are also many senior riders who cannot find jobs and have become victims of the advancing tide of the times.

Li Wei is quite lucky.

The former captain received help from a noble person and invested in opening this vehicle repair shop.

A dozen old brothers can still get together and hug each other to keep warm.

Once, the vehicles they modified could withstand the impact of the sword-halberd demon pigs and still maintain a speed of thirty to fifty yards while advancing through the jungle full of poisonous thorns.

Nowadays, repairing and modifying civilian vehicles is naturally a piece of cake.

Having said that, the income of working as a maintenance worker in a civilian vehicle repair shop is definitely a world away from what it was in the Thunder Expendables.

Social status has plummeted.

There are no more flowers, cheers or applause.

There will be no narrow escape, and after finally transporting an important cargo, you will receive high rewards and a full sense of accomplishment.

Since Meng Chao returned to Dragon City, he has come into contact with many middle- and low-level extraordinary people like Li Wei, whose income and social status have been reduced after the victory in the monster war.

"The war is over, we are useless."

"I can't do anything except kill monsters. I'm just a waste!"

"In order to defeat the monster, I left so many scars on my body. Now, what can I exchange for these scars?"

"Where have all those flowers, those cheers, those applauses, those hugs, those adoring eyes gone?"

This is the common aspiration of "Li Wei" people.

Meng Chao knew that after the end of any protracted war, the resettlement of veterans who have been tempered by blood and fire for decades and have honed their killing skills has always been the most complicated and troublesome problem.

If you are not careful, the heroes of the past can easily go from one extreme to another and become the source of trouble for the entire society.

However, the problems faced by Dragon City are more serious than those of any country in the earth era.

Because Dragon City has no market or hinterland to speak of.

Without a market, there are no jobs.

No work means no income.

Without income there is no dignity.

Once these low- to middle-level extraordinary beings and veterans who know nothing but killing skills find themselves without a job, dignity, or hope.

There is a high probability that they will regain their killing skills and use their only proficient skills to fight for what should be theirs.

In short, people like "Li Wei" have very strong motivations to join the Blood Alliance and change their own and Dragon City's destiny!

Of course, in addition to motives, Meng Chao also needs to find more sufficient and direct evidence.

Fortunately, Shen Yuanbao obtained a very detailed medical report on Li Wei.

As a senior driver, Li Wei is a member of the "Dragon City Dangerous Goods Transport Association" and also has a "Special Class A" driving license.

That is to say, he is qualified to transport dangerous goods including raw crystal ore and compressed spiritual energy.

Because crystal products are flammable, explosive and extremely dangerous.

It must be ensured that drivers transporting such dangerous goods are absolutely healthy, stable and reliable.

——What if the driver suffers a heart attack while transporting a whole cart of raw crystal ore or compressed spiritual energy, causing the vehicle to lose control.

Then it becomes a rampaging blockbuster.
