Chapter 181: That's All Just Acting

Seven days later, at noon, Yacheng garrison base, bustling with traffic.

Trucks fully loaded roared out along the dirt road, raising dust and disappearing at the end of the line of sight. And on the huge airport, huge airships took off and landed.

Thus, there were ferocious shadows winding forward on the ground, sweeping past Ji Jue, chasing after the airships, going to the distance.

"Wow, what a big battle."

Ji Jue sighed, holding the box, showing his ID, and passing through the verification checkpoint in front of the gate.

He saw that on the huge square, many large vehicles that had not been prepared were still queuing up waiting for loading, and the soldiers gathered on the off-road vehicles were wearing sunglasses, smoking, and commenting on the scene in front of them.

This session of the Haizhou garrison is probably really wanting to make some noise.

Success in one battle?

It sounds full of spirit, but in reality? The difficulty is not ordinary.

The disaster of Quancheng has affected the entire Haizhou for decades.

Before the fall of Quancheng, it could be said to be the axis of Haizhou, vaguely the capital of the state, and there was no such thing as Chaocheng now. After the disaster of the Quancheng ground subsidence, the entire Haizhou was like having its spine broken, depressed for so many years, finally able to raise its head again relying on shipping trade, and then encountered the disaster of the Flame Tide, which can be said to be full of twists and turns.

For so many years, the pollution of the underground cave has been continuous, and it's not that no one wants to clean up the disaster of Quancheng and completely eliminate the worries, but every time it is thunderous and rainy, lacking a sufficiently powerful leader, various big cities and small cities are arguing endlessly for three melons and two dates, and finally they disperse and return to their homes.

Ji Jue, as a commoner, naturally finds it difficult to know the various details, but although he doesn't understand Quancheng, he understands the Federation.

As long as the taxes are paid, the tasks of the stall are completed, and the indicators are reached, where would the masters of the Central City Council care about the life and death of the commoners? Instead of counting on this, it is better to count on this session of the Haizhou garrison intending to run for president and make the Federation great again.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with Ji Jue.

He is just a drummer and a helper. If it succeeds, there will naturally be a glorious stroke on his resume, and there can be more reserves in the empty material library.

Even if it doesn't succeed, can't he run away behind the teacher?

If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up.

Master Ji only cares about repairing cars.

After checking the ID, the soldier seemed puzzled that such a young person had mixed in, but in the end, he didn't say anything, pointed out the way, said don't walk around, and let him go.

On the contrary, after walking a few steps, he saw an acquaintance under the sunshade outside the guardrail.

Someone was waving vigorously, afraid he wouldn't see it.

Xiao An?

Ji Jue was slightly stunned. Xiao An noticed him looking over and smiled: "Be careful, Brother Ji Jue!"

"Okay, okay."

Ji Jue also smiled, feeling warm in his heart.

"Be careful, 'Brother Ji Jue'!" Tong Hua next to him learned to speak sarcastically.

"Hehe."

Ji Jue smiled politely, his fists hardened, and he would share your joy later.

"Be careful, Brother Ji Jue!"

Right behind Tong Hua, a tall figure also looked over, pushed the polarized glasses on the bridge of her nose, and smiled playfully.

Ji Jue's expression twitched, "Sister Wen, why are you joining in the fun! Also, Old Zhang, you too!"

Finally, after stopping the "repeating" old man who was cooling off, Ji Jue couldn't care about the occasion, leaned to the guardrail, "Why are you here?"

"Site security, anyway, it's that set."

Wen Wen pursed her lips toward the center of the city: "Tong Shan talks, the people below run their legs off, that kid is getting more and more able to hold his tone... Hey, we grassroots personnel can't compare to Master Ji who has already soared, haven't been to the North Mountain District for so long, don't know if you will still miss old friends in the future."

"Don't mock me."

Ji Jue smiled bitterly, "Isn't this busy... really busy, busy to the point of vomiting blood, I will definitely treat you next time!"

He slept for a while at 4:00 AM yesterday, and the dark circles are still hanging on his face now.

After teasing Ji Jue twice, Wen Wen didn't say anything else, just pointed to the box in his hand: "Ember going out, just bring this little thing? Is it enough?"

"If you are really poor and white, everyone will gather together, and at least get you a set of going-out equipment."

"Don't worry, the important things are carried with me, moreover..."

Ji Jue paused and whistled behind him.

Suddenly, in the rolling thick smoke, the sound of *tut-tut* was endless.

Just amidst the high-pitched sound of steel friction, a weird vehicle topped with two huge exhaust pipes drove in openly, stopped beside Ji Jue, flicked its tail, *beep-beep* twice, and honked proudly.

It looked just like the illegal cargo vans seen everywhere on the streets of Yacheng, yet its entire body was covered in heavy armor that even military off-road vehicles would envy. Four huge wheels plus a high-clearance suspension lifted the entire chassis nearly a meter off the ground. Layers of wiring crawled densely beneath the armor like vines. A row of searchlights on the front had no use in broad daylight, and behind the cab, the massive cargo box was heightened to two and a half meters, challenging the limits of road administration's tolerance.

At this moment, two diesel engines were still rampant, emitting black smoke in the *tut-tut* sound, polluting the air.

Witnessing this scene, Wen Wen's eyelids couldn't stop twitching:

"This... what?"

"Little Niu Ma, haven't you seen it?" Ji Jue asked back, "I even drove it to your place to report it!"

"This is the one you reported!"

Wen Wen felt her brain blood vessels were about to explode. She remembered clearly that it was a small-displacement motorcycle "Little Cotton Sheep" before!

As a result, it turned into a tricycle after a few days of returning from the Rift Realm. Modification is modification, but now, what the hell is this armored old man's music PLUS version, youth version armored troop carrier?!

This is too wild!

"As everyone knows, I am a vehicle maintenance engineer."

Ji Jue pushed the glasses that didn't exist on his face and answered calmly: "When I have time, modifying my own car is also a very normal thing."

In fact, with Lu Feng's assistance, plus the way Sister Laila gets goods, Ji Jue could modify it even more exaggeratedly... He has been eyeing the heavy engineering vehicle chassis of Cosmic Heavy Industry for a long time!

Unfortunately, the wallet didn't agree...

After Ji Jue stuffed his shopping cart full these past few days, his originally small savings bank card was instantly empty, and he still owed Sister Laila a lot of money.

Although the big sister waved her hand and said it was nothing, just build it, looking at that enthusiastic face, Ji Jue was really embarrassed to tell her: can you get me another second-hand vulture-type airborne machine gun...

Alright, alright, just about enough.

Finally, after calculating left and right, picking left and right, it was still overweight. In order to reduce the burden on Little Niu Ma, he additionally installed two diesel engines.

If it weren't for the fact that time was already running out, Ji Jue could have come up with some new tricks.

Unfortunately...

Now that Little Niu Ma has been modified like this, the advertisement for the Mainland Auto Repair Shop that Lu Ling once tearfully complained about is finally gone, and then Ji Jue covered it with the LOGO of Lu Feng's Zhengcheng Security Company.

Anyway, Lu Feng doesn't think it's a big deal.

Just treat it as advertising for them!

"It's just that..."

Tong Hua circled around Little Niu Ma for a long time and asked curiously: "Can this thing really be driven on the road?"

"Yes." Ji Jue nodded, "The traffic police said so at the time."

Tong Hua was stunned: "He didn't stop you?"

Ji Jue just smiled meaningfully: "He didn't catch up."

"..."

Unlike the big lady Tong Hua who often maintains wisdom and innocence, Wen Wen, who was smoking next to her, smiled and shook her head slightly.

She originally wanted to say, young man, don't be too stubborn, remember to run fast if something happens... Now it seems that there is no need to worry about this dead virtue at all.

"Alright, alright."

Noticing that more and more people were looking over, she couldn't continue to paddle, and finally waved: "Have a safe journey, kid."

"Many thanks."

Ji Jue grinned, looked back for the last time, stepped on the pedal of Little Niu Ma, and the armored old man's music sped away in the *tut-tut* sound.

At the assembly point designated by the Anquan Bureau, the car in front had just set off.

When Ji Jue arrived, he happened to see Professor Ye, who had been sent off by several people, sitting calmly on a chair reading a newspaper, with a familiar thermos cup on the table next to her.

No different from usual.

It's as if she was still sitting in her workshop, calm and peaceful.

Different from Ji Jue who carried the car directly, she didn't bring anything, her hands were empty, only the ornament hanging on the handle of the thermos cup was so familiar.

Layers of exquisite carving nested, heavy structures rotating silently.

Ghost Work Ball!

This one piece is enough to top all of Ji Jue's reserves plus the car.

"Teacher, I'm here."

Ji Jue jumped off the car to say hello: "Hey, Brother Ball, long time no see!"

Brother Ball just turned its spiritual quality, as if saying hello, and then ignored him. On the contrary, Ye Xian finally looked up, glanced at Ji Jue and the Little Niu Ma behind him, and her expression seemed to become complicated:

"You really have made quite a few things."

Although she had expected Ji Jue's ability to fix things, it was still... an eye-opener!

*Holy shit*, it's worthy of you. Every time you do practical work, you can come up with quite a few things that make people's eyes dark.

No need for the Ghost Work Ball to scan, just a slight pass of her spiritual quality sense, and she felt who knows how many technologies and hard work. This monkey version of armor made of composite steel hand-rubbed like a tank, this car chassis and suspension modified by "Non-Aggression," and that pile of messy things in the carriage...

What's even more deadly is...

"I won't ask what that launcher and those few things that look very suspicious are for, but how did you get so many phlogiston explosives?"

Her gaze fell on the corner of the carriage, and she was amazed: "Aren't you afraid of blowing yourself to the sky?"

Although she had a premonition of releasing a tiger to the mountain when she gave him the certificate, at this moment, when Ji Jue came to her with a full bucket of demolition explosives, she suddenly had a vigilance of "this son must not be kept, otherwise I won't be able to lift my head in the educational world in the future."

"No, no, just did a little bit, a little bit."

Ji Jue raised two fingers and compared them together: "When I did it, I felt the properties were quite stable, low-temperature storage, two layers of protection, as long as it doesn't explode, it's quite safe."

Yes, yes, as long as you don't die, it counts as alive.

If you don't die, you do it to death.

Ye Xian suddenly wanted to say: After you go out, don't say you were taught by me... But the list is already set, in case this dog thing comes up with some tricks on the spot, she's afraid she won't be able to avoid social death.

Unless, decisively, clear the sect.

"You don't look at the outside being rough, it's still quite comfortable to sit inside, Teacher, do you want to try?"

Ji Jue patted his chest and guaranteed, "I'll drive myself, you can just rest, if the thermos cup shakes even a little on the way, it'll count as my lack of skill!"

"Keep it for yourself to enjoy."

Ye Xian shook her head, unmoved as a mountain, folded the newspaper and put it aside, picked up the thermos cup and got up.

People in the distance seemed to see her movement, and soon, a large RV with a simple appearance but extreme luxury interior drove to her side.

The car door opened, and the coldness of the air conditioning blew from the wind, carrying a faint fragrance.

The champagne and ice cubes in the ice bucket collided slightly, the sound was crisp, and a drop of condensed dew fell slowly.

"There was an earthquake yesterday, the route has been changed, it may be half an hour longer than before."

The service staff waiting in the carriage took the dust cover she handed over and said enthusiastically: "You can rest for a while after getting on the car, but the chef needs you to confirm the lunch menu first... Is this gentleman with you?"

"Teacher, Teacher, take me!"

Ji Jue's eyes lit up instantly, stroking the car body, forgetting the angry *beep-beep* of Little Niu Ma behind him, and made the sound of a country dog with no knowledge: "Take me!"

Ye Xian rubbed her eyebrows and sighed silently: "Roll to drive your car!"

"Eh! Okay!"

Ji Jue nodded obediently and followed the flow.

【*Beep—*】

Only Little Niu Ma widened its car lights and glared at its owner.

The little horn is not very clean.

After waiting for a few minutes, a mighty motorcade set off.

It's as if it was specifically waiting for Ye Xian and them.

Under the escort of the military, after driving out of Yacheng along the road, it followed the route opened by the motorcade before and drove mightily toward the wilderness.

Gradually leaving the traces of civilization, there was only monotonous wilderness or mountains outside the window. The road conditions were naturally not as complete as in the city, but at least they were flat and passable.

Under the guard of the front and back of the motorcade, Ji Jue took the teacher's light and followed behind the RV, which could be considered to have mixed into the safest position. However, in this day and age, those wilderness robbers who loot motorcades wouldn't dare to touch a motorcade escorted by the military even if they were given ten guts.

But what everyone is very puzzled about is that the armored modified old man's music in the middle of the motorcade seems to have a broken gearbox, always shaking and rocking crazily, but it is full of power, without any sign of breaking down.

Don't know what the driver is doing.

Only in the car, the earnest persuasion and appeasement continued:

"Hey, I'm just acting outside! Socializing, those are all socializing..."

"I, of course, like you the most!"

"Where can those broken cars compare to you? Don't you know me? Those slutty cars are seducing me, how could I be fooled? RV? RV won't work either!

Look at its suspension, look at its chassis, where is it as good as yours? No matter how big it is, it's just ordinary goods!"

"Who is the cutest little car in the world? Of course, it's our Little Niu Ma, right?"

Ji Jue talked until his mouth was dry all the way, and after finally persuading Little Niu Ma to vent its anger, he finally drank two sips of water. It can only be said that sometimes it is not a good thing for machinery to be too spiritual.

In the future, I still have to be careful. There are so many dangerous items in the car. What if it gets angry and pulls the line and explodes with me?

And just when he finally lay down, in the long and long wait, gradually sleepy, wanting to take a nap, he suddenly felt Little Niu Ma brake sharply.

When he woke up, he thought it was Little Niu Ma making a temper again.

But what sounded on the radio immediately was a disaster warning.

Ji Jue subconsciously looked at the sky, blue sky, cloudless, and then, he finally felt the terrifying shock that even the suspension couldn't offset.

Loud noise.

From the mountains in the distance, a thick smoke suddenly rose.

Gunshots rang out.

The airships accompanying in the sky began to descend, huge shadows swept over the motorcade and moved forward.

Immediately after, what echoed between them was the deafening...

Hissing! ===== CHAPTER 182 =====
