Chapter 20 Valuable Information ()

The strong wind gradually weakened, and night fell on the earth. The temperature in the wilderness dropped rapidly. The travelers in the swaying carriage wrapped themselves tightly in tattered clothes and were already drowsy.

Originally, according to common practice, the brigade should find a place to camp at night. However, after the conflict during the day, the brigade suffered a lot of losses. In order to find parts to repair the vehicle and sell the loot as soon as possible, Captain Vic decided to travel overnight.

No one objected. The travelers climbed into the carriage quietly and staggered together. Some women and children had already fallen asleep. But most men were not so lucky. They had to brace themselves to cope with the crisis in the wilderness at night.

.

Xue Tong's carriage was on the first truck. This truck was the best. So after showing his worth, Xue Tong got a separate compartment like Sarah. The night in the wasteland was very cold, but for

To save fuel, most vehicles don't turn on the heater. But Xue Tong's compartment is as warm as spring. It's obviously a special treatment.

Lying on the thick mattress, Xue Tong fell asleep. He was a little tired. Although he had inhuman strength, the losses in the battle were staggering. He would feel hungry and sleepy after every battle. Not this time either.

There will be exceptions.

As the hero of this conflict, Xue Tong's dinner was very sumptuous. He had two more bowls of potatoes than the average traveler, and also received two large pieces of barbecue and a piece of butter. This was rare among the brigade. The brigade's supplies were always good.

Very nervous. So even Captain Vic would not eat more than the average person. But after the conflict during the day, no one thought there was anything wrong with Xue Tong eating more. In fact, if there were no Xue Pu, most of them would

I won't have dinner again.

But the most eye-catching thing in the convoy now is not the blood pupil. It is a few girls who are hugging each other and shivering. They are the trophies robbed by the sandworm bandits. They belong to members of another brigade. But now they are here.

here.

But to be honest, the suffering of these girls is not over yet. Because according to the rules of the wasteland, they are no longer free people, but are considered the spoils of the brigade. The brigade has the right to sell them. Even if Old Vic is willing to take them in

They are also unable to bear the food pressure caused by taking them in. So their fate is still difficult to say. Unless there is a man in the tour group who takes a fancy to them and is willing to bear the food pressure for them.

From this point of view, their status is not even as good as that of Xue Tong who was picked up at the beginning. At least Xue Tong was still a free citizen at that time. But they couldn't even reach this point.

The wilderness was very quiet at night. People could only hear the sound of the motorcade. It was very sleepy in this environment. Soon most people fell asleep. Xue Tong also gradually fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took. A loud noise woke Xue Tong. He opened his eyes, but found that it was still dark. So he got up and walked out of the cubicle.

There was already a crowd of people outside the cubicle. When they saw Xue Tong coming out, people immediately stepped aside and bowed respectfully to Xue Tong.

"Mr. Xue Tong."

"Yeah." Xue Tong nodded and glanced at the passage leading to the roof of the car. "What happened? It's such a mess."

"We saw it!" a guard replied loudly, his face full of joy. "We saw the light."

"Lighting?" Xue Tong was stunned.

"It's the light of the gathering point. We are about to go to the next gathering point."

Energy is very tight in the last days, and few people are willing to waste energy. So when you see a large area of ​​light, it means you are approaching the gathering point. Because only the gathering point will have abundant energy for lighting.

Xue Tong was also very happy to hear the news and walked up to the roof of the car to take a look.

Sure enough, there was a field of lights flickering on the distant horizon. It looked quite large. According to the speed of the convoy, it would be almost there by noon the next day.

On the way back, Xue Tong grabbed a traveler and asked, "Where is Captain Vic?"

"The commander is in the command room." The traveler replied respectfully.

Xue Tong let him go and walked towards the command room.

It is said to be a command room, but it is actually a relatively large compartment. When Xue Tong walked in, he happened to see Old Vic yelling at these young men. The content was nothing more than arrangements for arriving at the gathering point. Several

The young man lowered his head respectfully and held a small book in his hand. He wrote down all the resources that Old Vic needed to buy. When he saw Xue Tong coming in, Old Vic's eyes lit up, he left a few subordinates and left directly.

come over.

"Mr. Xue Tong, you're finally here. I'm just going to find you."

"Huh?" Xue Tong was a little surprised. "What's the matter? Captain Vic."

Old Vic smiled heartily, turned around and shouted from outside. "Bring me some coffee. Yes, it's the bag I treasured under my pillow." Then he made a gesture of invitation to Xue Tong.

"Let's go, Mr. Xue Tong, let's sit down and talk. The night is still very long, and we need something to refresh ourselves."

"..." Xue Tong didn't make a sound, but still followed Old Vic to another small cubicle. When the coffee was delivered and the back door closed, the cubicle immediately became quiet.

The cubicle was small, and the heating was not turned on. The hot coffee exuded a strong aroma, which quickly made the entire cubicle feel warm. Xue Tong took a gentle sniff and felt refreshed.

His body's ability to absorb and digest is extremely strong. For ordinary people, coffee is just refreshing, but for him, it can play a dual role of replenishing energy and stimulating nerves. Silently, Xue Tong felt that "it" in his body woke up.

.I felt longing for the little teacup on the table.

"Tell me, Captain Vic. I think you didn't come to me just to drink coffee." Xue Tong said calmly.

"Haha. Mr. Xue Tong, don't worry. Let's taste the coffee first. This thing is rare. I got this pack three years ago. You are lucky." Old Vic replied with a smile on his face.

Just like an old fox.

Xue Tong didn't have much suspicion. He drank the coffee calmly. The fragrant liquid entered his stomach, and he immediately felt restless throbs from "it" in his body. It seemed that he was also tasting the coffee.

Taste. After a while, the throbbing turned to calmness.

Xue Tong put down the empty tea cup. "You can talk now."

"Haha. Mr. Xue Tong is really impatient. Well, in this case, I'll just say it straight." Old Vic rubbed his hands. A trace of embarrassed blush flashed across his face.

"Actually, I'm here for that armor."

Xue Tong smiled slightly. Sure enough, he had already guessed that Old Vic was eyeing Karisha's armor. He just endured it because he was embarrassed to speak. Now he couldn't bear it anymore.

Everyone knows that they will arrive at the gathering point tomorrow afternoon. By that time, the armor will probably be sold by Xue Tong. Old Vic will never have a chance again.

It's just that this armor has another use in Xue Tong's heart. How can it be easily handed over?

Looking at Old Vic's hopeful eyes, Xue Tong's expression was calm. "It seems that I shouldn't drink this cup of coffee."

"No way. Mr. Xue Tong is overthinking this. This is just a drink I gave him. It has nothing to do with the armor. Besides, he saved our lives. Even if we have to spend our most precious resources as compensation, it is still appropriate." Old Wei

Ke kept smiling. I was very embarrassed.

"But now you want my spoils." Xue Tong said lightly.

"Hehe, hehe. The brigade is really poor. Mr. Xue Tong, please don't mind this." Old Vic smiled awkwardly, and then suddenly his face became solemn. "Having said that, I want to ask Mr. Xue Tong a question.

, do you really want to stay on this planet forever? Just hang out like this?"

"What?" Xue Tong was a little surprised.

"I can see that this is Mr. Xue Tong's first time to venture out, right?" Old Vic said seriously. "If you just want to take risks on this planet, then just pretend that I didn't say anything today. But if you have other questions,

Idea, then what I say below is more valuable than armor."

"..." Xue Tong pondered.

He was a little tempted. It was so wonderful for Xue Tong to be able to leave this hell-like world. Although the news was a bit sudden, Xue Tong felt that compared with the armor he had already obtained, perhaps Old Vic's proposal made him more happy.

interested..

After thinking for a while, Xue Tong finally made a decision and turned his gaze to the other party. "Yes, but this price is not enough."

"Of course. I have also prepared a box of copper ore for you. It is a rich ore. If you are not satisfied yet, the girls who were rescued today can also be given to you. They can all be sold for a big price at the gathering point.

"Old Vic said slowly, and then stared closely at Xue Tong. His eyes were full of expectation.

He knew that what he talked about today was a bit excessive, but he really needed the armor. Since Xue Tong had already expressed his intention to not stay in the brigade, the armor was the last straw for him to protect the brigade. No matter how much it cost,

Got it. Survival comes first in the apocalypse, and Old Vic can no longer care about his old face.

Fortunately, Xue Tong didn't care much about this. After thinking about it for a while, he gave Old Vic a definite answer.
