Chapter 325: Where to go first?

After Jie Ge and his men finished listening to Qi Xiaoshuai's words and asked a few more questions, all of which were answered fluently, they no longer harbored much suspicion.

"Your camp has quite a few people, why did they send only you out? I saw you observing the zombies earlier, what's the trick?"

Jie Ge asked with a thoughtful look on his face.

He remembered very clearly that they had been secretly observing Qi Xiaoshuai from afar for quite a while, seeing him wandering aimlessly outside a park specifically for large vehicle maintenance, and only after watching for a while did they realize he was earnestly counting zombies.

When things are abnormal, there must be a demon; he didn't believe that in the apocalypse, anyone would do something so bored and painful.

"Large vehicles, fuel, looking for fuel."

Qi Xiaoshuai thought quickly on his feet, giving a reason that left no room for picking holes.

Jie Ge recalled that there did indeed seem to be four or five large vehicles parked in the park; it was plausible to say he was looking for fuel, but he still felt that such a meticulous manner was a bit strange, and he planned to ask again later.

"Kid, how much supplies do you think your life is worth? I saw that rifle you had earlier was pretty good. If I trade you for five rifles plus five hundred catties of grain, your camp wouldn't be reluctant, would they?"

Jie Ge had already started considering the price for ransoming the person.

"No, impossible... We, our camp has a total of, a total of only three guns. Grain, grain is no problem."

This was the answer Qi Xiaoshuai gave after his brain spun at high speed. Three guns meant their combat power wasn't high, and at the same time, the fact that he could carry one meant his status in the camp wasn't low, making him worth ransoming back, while also very generously indicating that grain was no pressure!

When he was being surrounded and intercepted, he was filled with uncontrollable rage, but at the critical moment of life and death, the anger vanished, leaving only calmness. The closer one is to the edge of success, the easier it is to fall short; hatred was suppressed in his heart, and reason overcame impulse.

Hearing the intermittent reply, Jie Ge and the others all revealed satisfied smiles.

"If we can get a thousand or eight hundred catties of grain, and preferably some medicine or something, then the damage to my car was worth it!"

"Haha, I didn't expect that coming to the Profound Dragon Legion to trade would also allow us to pick up a big bargain." Jie Ge beckoned to his companions and said, "Come, tie him up well, put him comfortably in the car, don't let him get shaken to death. Right now, he is guns and grain, understand?"

"Got it, Jie Ge, don't worry, it's all set."

"Uh... speaking of which, Jie Ge, are we going to the Profound Dragon Legion first or to Grass Slope Township first?"

Jie Ge walked toward the Camry, and upon hearing his subordinate's question, he thought about it with a bit of hesitation and said, "Anyway, we have to pass by the Legion's gate, so let's go to the Legion first. They have many rules; who knows if the trading personnel will still be working in the afternoon? Don't make a wasted trip, that would be a grievance."

"Haha, it wouldn't be a wasted trip anyway, don't we have him?"

"This turtle-grandson is worth quite a bit of money, get up, you!"

"Are you a shark-arm? He calls us grandpa, you call him a turtle-grandson, then what are we?"

"Grass, where do you get so much nonsense, get to work!"

The two bickered while tying Qi Xiaoshuai's hands and helped him stand up.

Qi Xiaoshuai, supported by the two, was in no mood to pay attention to their insults; all his thoughts were on the sentence that they were going to the Profound Dragon Legion first!

He let out a huge sigh of relief in his heart. He believed his partners must still be at the barracks and hadn't left. With his head hanging low, blood foam mixed with saliva dripped from the corners of his mouth, suppressing the urge to let his mouth curl upward.

Soon, the group returned to the car and tied Qi Xiaoshuai to the seat to prevent him from swaying left and right and bumping around in the car; looking at his appearance, he probably couldn't withstand the tossing!

Before leaving, the group didn't forget to search Qi Xiaoshuai's van, but unfortunately, apart from the rifle, there was only a water cup containing hot water and a few bags of baby squid frozen into ice lumps...

Inside the barracks, Zhang Su pushed open the cockpit door and jumped to the ground, patting the steel beast with lingering interest. It was the first time in his life he had so earnestly felt the charm of the King of the Land, but unfortunately, he couldn't drive it to his heart's content, otherwise, it would be funny if he ran out of fuel halfway to Horse Island. Anyway, there would be plenty of opportunities to drive it on the way back.

"Brother Su, how does it feel?"

Lu Yubo and a group of people surrounded Zhang Su and asked with envy, each one eager to try.

Bang bang.

Zhang Su patted the hard armor and smiled: "The only one supreme!"

"Boss Zhang, that was really smooth just now! That... let me ask, what's wrong with that tank? Are you not driving it?"

Meng Changwei and others also gathered around, pointing to the tank on the other side and asking.

As soon as the other party spoke, Zhang Su knew what he was thinking, smacked his lips and said: "That tank has no engine, it can only be used as a fixed turret. Why, do you have ideas?"

"Ah..."

Meng Changwei felt very disappointed after hearing Zhang Su's words.

For the current situation, the biggest use of a tank is not firing shells, but crushing; not having shells is not terrible, but having no engine is very bad!

The other people from Great Bridge Fort Township were also very confused when they heard this result. If the engine is broken, it can be repaired, but if it's completely gone, it's really hard to handle...

Zhang Su spread his hands and said: "Are you interested? Then should I trade that tank to you?"

"No, no... a fifty-ton thing, the engine is gone, how do you expect me to transport it away? No!"

Meng Changwei was greatly disappointed, thinking that the tank had some minor problems and could still run if tinkered with, but who would have thought it was rotten at the root and couldn't be played with at all.

"Then Boss Zhang, we are preparing to withdraw, hope to see you again!"

With the tank matter falling through, Meng Changwei didn't intend to continue dawdling in the barracks.

"You said it, see you again. Who knows, maybe one day I'll go to your place as a guest, don't drive me away when that time comes!"

Zhang Su smiled and waved his hand.

"What are you saying, even if I don't welcome you to eat and drink, I can't show it on my face, hahaha, let's go, let's go."

After speaking, Meng Changwei waved his hand, and the people from Great Bridge Fort Township got into their cars one after another and drove toward the south gate of the barracks.

Watching the convoy drive away, Zhang Su turned around and said: "Where is Dachao?"

"Over there, what's up?"

Lu Yubo pointed toward the warehouse direction, and just happened to see Guo Dachao and Duan Wuhu carrying a box out together.

Zhang Su walked over quickly, beckoned to Guo Dachao and said: "Dachao, come here for a second."

"What's up, Brother Su?"

Guo Dachao ran to Zhang Su, sniffed his nose; he wasn't wearing a scarf on his face, and it was frozen red.

"That tank has no engine. From your professional level, which parts on the tank have greater wear and tear? Let's dismantle the parts and take them away, otherwise, it's too wasteful to leave them here!"

Zhang Su was unwilling to throw away a big guy for nothing; he had to make it play some role.

"Dismantle parts?"

Guo Dachao scratched his head with his gloved fingers and frowned: "Brother Su, although this tank has no engine, didn't it fire shells that night? The other circuits and such should be fine. We can try to install an engine for it, maybe it can run!"

"Can this work?"

Zhang Su was stunned, not expecting the other party's imagination to be quite big. Tank engines are very special; after all, they have to drive a fifty-ton big guy, and ordinary engines simply don't have that power!

"It should work, but the stability is a bit poor, but dragging it back to the camp shouldn't be a problem. However, the problem is... this engine is not easy to find. It's best to have a truck's diesel engine, but that thing is heavy, easily over a ton each. It won't be easy for us to hoist it up!"

Zhang Su didn't know how to repair cars, but he had seen scenes of car maintenance. If there was no lifting equipment, it would be very difficult to dismantle and install an engine, so he couldn't help but wave his hand and say: "The plan is feasible, but currently it's difficult to operate. Let's write it down first, and we'll study it after we're done with our work."

"Got it, as long as we find lifting equipment, trucks should be easy to find. Leave the rest to me!"

After Guo Dachao finished speaking, he turned and walked toward the warehouse, full of confidence with his skills.

"There are really a lot of things to do, it's just that the weather is too cold..."

If there was hope for salvation, Zhang Su would definitely not give up on that tank, it's just that there were too many things to do right now, and he couldn't get around to it for a while.

Dozens of people suddenly appeared in the camp, needing proper settlement and allocation. At the same time, the matter of the Venom Zombie also made him very concerned. If he had to choose, he would be willing to trade a tank for a Venom Zombie!

Thinking of the Venom Zombie, Zhang Su turned around and looked around, still not finding Qi Xiaoshuai's figure, and muttered: "Why hasn't he come back after so long? Could it be that he discovered something?"

Thinking of this, he took out the walkie-talkie: "Xiaoshuai, Xiaoshuai, answer if you receive!"

After waiting for a while, there was no response.

Qi Xiaoshuai was currently tied in the back row of the pickup truck, and his walkie-talkie had fallen onto the wasteland when the van was hit...
