Surprise Hotel

Chapter 68 Refuge settlements

Lu Xing climbed back into the white [Cruising Blade] mech.

The horsepower drove to maximum, all the way south.

The mechanical arm was broken, the hatch was gone, the weapon was damaged...At this time, the steel giant was no longer majestic, and the battle-damaged appearance made him look more like a remnant wandering in the wasteland.

After a journey of more than a hundred miles, Lu Xing saw little other things except for the scorched earth and collapsed city ruins.

There are no trees, no flowers, no birds, no rivers running through the mainland, and no cars on the road.

Those roads built thousands of years ago have been eroded and sanded by wind, but some traces can still be seen vaguely.

This is a barren no man's land, and the information displayed by the brain chip in front of you shows that the concentration of nuclear radiation here is still seriously exceeding the standard and it is not suitable for living.

There is no faction here to establish a city-state, and no wandering wasteland scavengers pass by here.

This is not a war zone, there are no resources, it can be called a zone where birds do not shit.

However, in such an environment, there is a settlement.

For those low-class refugees, this is a haven for refuge.

Lu Xing had never dared to doze off, he was worried that some strange alien creature would suddenly attack him.

In fact, he did see a few ghosts and ghosts flashing past him along the way, probably because he was jealous of [Running Blade], they just sniffed the breath and quickly fled.

I have to say that human wisdom is great.This allows them to rely on weapons to dominate the top of the food chain when they return to the barbaric wasteland after a thousand years.The product of industrial machinery can still make those beasts with fangs shiver.

Lights appeared in front of the field of vision.

This gave Lu Xing, who was running wild on the wasteland, a little more comfort in his heart.

The direction of the lights must be where humans live.Species have evolved for hundreds of millions of years, and only human beings have mastered photoelectric technology.

Presumably there is a place where refugees live together.

As it got closer, the outline of that area gradually appeared in Lu Xing's eyes.

Contrary to what he imagined, here are not all temporary tent houses, but a large area of ​​engineering buildings.

The tallest building has only two floors, scattered around a huge pyramid building, like stars arching over the moon.

Lu Xing felt inexplicably as if he had come to ancient Egypt to meet the pharaoh. In fact, the huge pyramid was the most important place in the refugee area. They used it as a trading center and a temporary air-raid shelter.

Triangles are always the strongest in geometry, and this theorem still applies today.

All kinds of people live on the streets, a mixed bag.

Some have an ion gun on their back, some have broken their arms and modified them with mechanical arms, some are wearing mechanical exoskeleton, some are floating in the air using a suspended aircraft, or they are driving a motorcycle with only one wheel and a strong sense of technology. of……

In contrast, Lu Xing drove a mecha over and did not appear out of place, nor did he cause any panic.

Even when a young man passed by him, he gave him a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Cool!"

It was much more lively and interesting than he thought.

Here, he saw the wasteland scavengers carrying bundles of weapons. He originally thought that these people would only travel to the city-states of the camp, but he did not expect that there would be them in the refugees' gathering places.

But think about it carefully, in these turbulent times, weapons are indeed very important things.

People shuttled back and forth, rubbing shoulders one after another.

But Lu Xing just stood outside the pyramid that looked like a tall building, watching quietly.

"Wolf-greedy camp... sir?" A man with a full face and beard suddenly approached, looking up at Lu Xing, his eyes full of worship.

There is a totem of the wolf camp on the shell of the white [Running Blade]. Perhaps this is the reason why the man believes that he is a member of the wolf camp.

"Oh, I'm here to find someone." Lu Xing didn't know anyone here, and someone just started talking, so he asked directly, "Excuse me, do you know where a mechanic named Jason lives?"

"What are you looking for him for?" The bearded man was suddenly wary.

"Someone asked me to come to him." Lu Xing replied.

Hearing these words, the excited smile on his eyes gradually recovered, and he patted his chest and said, "I am, Jason is me, I am Jason!"

"Your name is Jason?"

"Yes, my son Hargris is the captain of the first team of the seventh army of the wolf camp. This kid is the only one who has squeezed into the city life from the exile camp. He is my greatest pride!"

"Hargris...That's right." Lu Xing nodded gravely.

"Did he let you come here? You must have encountered some problem, right? How did he raise my son, how is it?" The bearded man asked several questions in a row.

Lu Xing didn't know which one to answer first, so he took Hargres' badge from his pocket and leaned over to the man.

Old Jason held the badge in his hand, his callused hands trembling slightly.Crystal tears filled his eyes instantly, and he looked up at Lu Xing with an incredible expression in his eyes.

Warriors in the camp never take off the badge easily, because it is a symbol of status and glory.But now this thing is passed to him through Lu Xing, which can only explain one thing...

"He, he sent a message last month and said he will come back to see..." Old Jason said, suddenly choked up.

"Your sorrow." Lu Xing said with a serious expression, "he sacrificed to protect the four commanders of the camp from evacuation. He is a great hero in the camp."

Old Jason mistakenly identified Lu Xing as the chief officer in the wolf-greedy camp, so Lu Xing's condolences seemed particularly weighty.

In fact, he did think Hargris was a courageous guy.

"He's a hero...he's a hero!" Old Jason repeated these words, smiling with tears, and tightly clutched the badge in his hand.

"We met a difficult opponent, and only I escaped by myself. Before he died, he asked me to come here and said you can help me." Lu Xing said.

Old Jason looked at the damaged mecha, and then at Lu Xing, who was covered in blood. It was clear that he had just emerged from a fierce battle.

"Then you will be wronged, sir, please follow me." Old Jason carefully put away the relics of his son Hargres, but led Lu Xing to a building inside.

"Hargris is your son, but you don't look like a Germanic descent, you are more like an Asian."

"Yes, Hargris is the third child I adopted. The first two also died in the Wasteland War. I originally thought that waiting for them to be appointed and crowned, I could live a good life in the city. There are plenty of supplies and protection. It’s a good place to take care of your life.” The old Jason who walked in front sighed deeply, “It’s a pity, life is beyond your control!”
