MMB Chapter 242 Bullshit!
Chapter 242 Bullshit!
Tashan looked at his bus with a smile, which had been reinforced by Tiesheng's abilities. The body, which was originally covered in scratches, was now as clean as new.
In some key areas, there is even an extra layer of dark metal reinforcement, which produces a dull, solid sound when tapped.
"Great skill!" Tashan and Tiesheng were similar in build and personality.
Even the sequences have a certain similarity, and for a moment we even felt a sense of mutual appreciation.
"Your team seems to have been through a lot!" Basically, apart from Xu Si's 'Nirvana', he had done some repairs on all the vehicles in the team.
"What? Didn't you encounter any powerful or strange things along the way?" The two spoke cautiously, both testing and revealing their intentions.
"Why not? Fortunately, our captain has a tendency to 'seek advantage and avoid harm,' so the journey has been relatively peaceful! However, some dangers are always unavoidable! Otherwise, where would this strange fall have come from?" Tiesheng said.
……
It wasn't just extraordinary individuals trading goods.
The exchange of goods among ordinary people also proceeded in a tacit and peaceful manner.
However, Xu Si noticed that the ordinary people in the Changsheng car team seemed overly enthusiastic.
Their affections were directed at the women in the salary train crew, not for sexual relations.
Xu Si already understood the situation from their conversation and the goods they traded.
Perhaps Fu Xiaojian had already discovered this.
These people are actually trying to recruit members of the firewood train team, wanting to rebuild their homes here and live a primitive, slash-and-burn lifestyle together.
Xu Si looked at Lu Xun, wondering if he had instructed Lu Xun to do this.
But Xu Si felt that he definitely knew.
Because the Land Cruiser always gave Xu Si the feeling that everything was under his control.
The afternoon sun slanted across the water, reflecting shimmering golden light.
After the initial excitement of the deal faded, a more subtle silence began to spread between the two teams.
Especially among ordinary people, the exchange of glances and hesitations are far more complex than the supplies in the hands of the extraordinary.
Jiang Li stood in front of a stone slab, explaining a simple passage to Doubao and the other children.
Her voice was calm, but her gaze involuntarily drifted to the other people on the bus.
Ever since we made contact with the Changsheng transportation team, the atmosphere on the bus has been rather strange.
There are now nineteen people on the bus besides Tashan. After deducting Jiang Li, Doubao, Kaochang, and Wei Fuzi, there are only fifteen people left.
Of the fifteen people, five were women and ten were men.
At this moment, they were all sitting in the bus.
"No matter what you guys do, I'm not staying here! I quite like the team! And I'll miss these little guys too."
The speaker was a middle-aged man named Liu Ting, who was also one of the drivers who drove for Tashan.
"If my master won't keep me, I won't either! I'm going to stay with the convoy. Besides, Brother Shan has always treated me well! And..."
And he also wants to awaken the sequence!
This man, named Xiao Wu, was practically Liu Ting's apprentice, and he was responsible for driving some of the easier sections of the road.
Buses are not as easy to drive as cars.
Moreover, he had a relationship with Wang Hu; he had been part of the Wantong caravan when he went with Wang Hu before.
Now that Yao Yao has awakened, if Wang Hu has any sentimental attachment to them, he will remember them.
"I won't stay either."
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
The speakers were three young people of similar age: two were college students, and one had just graduated not long ago.
So the three of them were considered one of the small groups in the bus.
They shared the same thoughts as Xiao Wu.
As for the remaining five men, they constituted the largest small group on the bus.
Of the remaining five women, three were survivors of Xiao Luo's previous team, and the other two were survivors from the same team.
"Stop dreaming! Do you really think you're the ones who deserve to awaken?" said the leader of the five-person group.
"Why have we been fleeing all this time? To survive!"
"Now, a perfectly clear path to survival is laid out before you, yet you insist on courting death?"
This man's name is Qiu Biao. He had served two years in prison for disorderly conduct and manslaughter.
Therefore, he understood that even if it were everyone else's turn, the awakening potion would not be available to him.
"Brother Biao, let's talk this out! Besides, Brother Shan has really been good to us!"
A tall, thin man behind him, missing a finger, saw that Qiu Biao was somewhat agitated and then spoke up.
"Shut up, you idiot! Do you even have the right to speak here?" Qiu Biao said without any politeness.
"Whether you stay or not is your business, we won't stay! We'll follow the convoy to the death!"
The speaker was one of the survivors of Xiao Luo's team.
After saying this, she immediately stood up with her two other sisters.
"Sister Hong, Brother Biao didn't mean that!" The other two tried to stop them, but the three of them were clearly adamant in their stance.
"I don't care what he means, we're not leaving the team."
The woman in charge, named Sister Hong, bypassed Qiu Biao's obstruction, left her seat, and prepared to get off the bus.
"You filthy bitch, what are you so high and mighty about? Don't think I don't know what kind of trash you are!" Qiu Biao said aggressively.
These words instantly turned everyone in the car's faces cold.
This is a taboo that the team has never mentioned.
The air inside the bus suddenly froze.
Sister Hong turned around abruptly, her nails digging deep into her palms, and the last trace of color drained from her face.
The two sisters behind her were equally pale, but their eyes burned with a cold fire.
"What did you say?" Sister Hong's voice was very soft, as soft as a knife scraping against bone.
Qiu Biao felt a jolt in his heart from that gaze, but the words were already out, and he was now in a difficult situation.
He stiffened his neck, his face twitching, and pointed at the people in the car, saying, "What are you pretending for? Ask them, who doesn't know? Now you're acting all high and mighty!"
"Qiu Biao!" Director Liu shouted sternly, veins bulging on his forehead.
The three students and Xiao Wu also stood up abruptly, blocking Hong Jie and her two companions, their young faces flushed red: "Brother Biao! Some things shouldn't be said carelessly!"
"I'm talking nonsense?" Qiu Biao scoffed, his gaze sweeping over the group of people in front of the mountain.
"What? You want to be the hero and save the damsel in distress? Aren't you disgusted by the dirt?"
"Bullshit!" Xiao Wu didn't care about anything else and punched Qiu Biao in the face.
The balance inside the car was completely disrupted.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Qiu Biao's eyes even showed a hint of joy.
The main reason he wanted others to come with him was naturally because he was wary of Xu Si's methods.
If conflicts arise within the team, they can legitimately leave the team, and Xu Si will have no reason to intervene.
Of course, his ultimate goal was to stay here.
Stay in this beautiful place, free of any eeriness, with its green grass and pools of water.
As long as there are no extraordinary people among those who remain here.
He was confident he could make it big, and then...
