Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

Things suddenly took a subtle but significant turn. Doyle was indeed born in Hongxiu City and spent his childhood here, so he is considered a "local". Now the elders of Hongxiu City are even his childhood playmates. They used to educate him with fists. Now the situation is reversed. Doyle can beat twenty of them.

Although they are both old, the difference in physical fitness is too big.

As a result, Doyle was no longer a "strange guy from outside" but a "local aspiring pioneer" whose activities were not only allowed, but also protected and even welcomed.

On the other hand, Zhuang Xuteng, who has always been worried about the threat of gangs, is still a "foreign weirdo worthy of vigilance."

After Ge Gongdao's narration, Zhuang Xuteng basically understood Doyle's history. He served during the Company War, experienced many major battles, and made considerable achievements. The only problem was that he chose the wrong company. He thought he could follow the rise of the new company and become the winner, but he did not expect that the four major companies would join forces to tear up all challengers and eat them all.

So Doyle retired and received some severance pay, but still had to find a way to survive on his own. Fortunately, he received some shadow follower implant modifications during his service, and his physical fitness was quite good, and his ability in bare-handed fighting was very high, so he participated in boxing matches and made a certain reputation.

There is an age limit for regular boxing matches. Even if you can bench press 800, you cannot apply if you are over 56 years old. So Doyle relied on the reputation gained from regular boxing matches to go to underground fighting arenas and fight black boxing that had fewer restrictions and almost no protection. Ge Gongdao once watched his fight and liked his cold and fierce style very much, so he became his boxing fan. Later, one of them stopped working, and the other went to work, and they all had to work hard for a living.

Zhuang Xuteng didn't care about those stories of separation and reunion. He only understood one truth: if the locals thought it didn't matter, then he didn't need to meddle in other people's business, which would save him some trouble. At the same time, he was also agitated by another news brought by Ge Gongdao.

The so-called haha ​​grass is actually a banned plant. Products made from it are selling well in other cities, but they have also brought disaster to many people. This plant can be mixed with tomatoes and is very concealed. Moreover, Hongxiu City controls the flow of goods and only delivers goods to distant places. It will never provoke the PCPD around it. Everyone here is more or less related to this industry. related.

As Doyle said: You need money to be autonomous, so where does the money come from?

"Your little girlfriend Kelly, if nothing else, is related to this industry. Think about it, since you have to transport it to a distant place and prepare for inspections, you will definitely need to modify the vehicle." Ge Gongdao patted Zhuang Xuteng on the shoulder. Said: "I'm not saying she is a good person or a bad person, or what she did is right or wrong, I just want to remind you: everyone is complicated, just don't get dizzy."

"You were so dizzy when you saw Doyle." Zhuang Xuteng didn't want to hear him talk, so he waved his hand and said, "You go to chase stars, and I'll go see my car."

"Hey, don't be angry! Think about it carefully. You called me for support, and I rushed over as quickly as possible. Didn't you delay things? Besides, Doyle is a very well-connected guy, and he definitely needs manpower. If it can be matched by a middleman, wouldn't it be an entrusted task? If you always wait for the middleman to feed you, sooner or later you will be taken advantage of, so we have to force the middleman to do work from time to time. You should think about it when you have time."

Ge Gongdao was right, Zhuang Xuteng was just a little down on energy. His words "everyone is complicated" made him a little disappointed. He didn't want Kelly to be a very complicated person and be involved with criminals. But when he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he realized that what he disliked was actually himself, a guy who could kill people after accepting a task entrusted by others.

People are inherently resistant to killing, but they can also gain pleasure when they break through their own limitations, including breaking through moral constraints. This is obviously a contradictory setup. Zhuang Xuteng could not find a moral reason that justified all killings and crimes, so he could only set up a practical constraint of "no killing unless necessary" to resolve emotional conflicts.

Soon he found that his conflicting thoughts were simply full: the moment he saw Kelly, his mood improved, and all the entanglements, contradictions, and self-moral judgments were gone. He suddenly felt a little ridiculous: How could he let his thoughts control his life? It is clear that life has the power and ability to torment people, not the other way around. He doesn't know what to do the next day, and he wants to put more psychological pressure on himself. Isn't this just stupid?

Just live a good day every day and let yourself grow a little bit every day. This is already a very worthwhile and difficult thing to do. Why do you want to do anything else? Zhuang Xuteng mentally slapped himself, and then he concentrated on chatting with Kelly, building his own car with her in the name of supervisor, and learning some car maintenance knowledge by the way.

Kelly thought this request was normal. She had already guessed that Zhuang Xuteng's profession was as a mercenary, and he would use this car when performing commissioned tasks, so it was beneficial to know the location and function of each component. She can also tell you some tips on driving this car, such as what angle and gear to use for collision, how to squeeze other cars out of the way, and how to set up the winch at the rear of the car.

Speaking of winches, the characteristics of the car can be reflected here. Ordinary cars have two steam engines and two electric motors, but this car has one more of each. In the middle of the vehicle, slightly close to the rear wheel transverse axis, that is, under the rear seat, there is a small steam engine and a small electric motor. They select models that can start at high speed, and act on the main shaft through a differential to provide power at the initial start.

That is to say, when the car starts quickly, the two electric motors, one large and one small, start first, and then the small steam engine follows up, until the big steam engine joins in. After stabilization, the large steam engine provides the main driving power, while the small steam engine is responsible for charging, and allows the two electric motors to assist in providing instant power, allowing the car to adapt to various conditions.

This system is the design on the Millennium Ares V2 truck. It is said that it has applied for a patent and made the company a lot of money. Kelly didn't care what the patent was, just get it and use it. As long as you understand the principle, the rest is all adjustment. Since the entire system is relatively complex, the amount of maintenance required has also increased. It is best for Zhuang Xuteng to master all of them, so that various minor faults can be dealt with quickly without delaying the execution of his tasks.

Following Kelly assembling the car bit by bit, you can obviously learn more than reading drawings and instructions. Zhuang Xuteng's graphic memory is quite good, not to mention that there is Kelly in the image, so he naturally remembers it more carefully. In just three days, he had memorized the names, functions and locations of hundreds of parts on the car, and was even able to disassemble and assemble the engine by himself. This kind of learning speed impressed Kelly.

"If you don't become a mercenary, you can become an excellent mechanic. There are many rich people in Peicheng, and I heard that maintaining their cars is very profitable. It would be even better if you can join the company's racing team as a technician, and you can get in touch with them. to the most advanced technology and equipment.”

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and smiled and said: "Thank you for your compliment. I only care about my car and don't know anything about other vehicles. Just like you said: I only need to understand the center of gravity of other models and know how to knock them away. .”

"Haha, what you said makes sense."

"Kelly, my craftsmanship is definitely not as good as yours. Why don't you go to Peicheng to be a technician, just like you suggested to me?"

Kelly stopped what she was doing, thought for a moment, then curled her lips and continued working and said: "Apart from Hongxiu City being my hometown, life here is simpler than Peicheng, and everyone needs me too."

"Is it because of Hahacao?"

Kelly nodded and admitted openly: "They need the cars I modified to transport goods safely, so they need me to stay and continue modifying cars. This is a very stable business and can help the garage avoid bankruptcy."

"They won't let you go?"

"You can't say that." Kelly said while working: "I think if I leave, many people in the town will be in danger, and everyone's life will be difficult. And there must be someone to do this job, not me Even others, I still can’t trust others. In life, it seems that there are many choices, but many of them should not be there at all, and are just used to increase worries."

"Okay, I don't know how to live my life, so I won't give you life advice." Zhuang Xuteng handed her the tools and said, "But you can ask Buck to promote business for you and advertise on Highway 4. , let more vehicles come here to add water, coal, and maintenance. By expanding the business in this way, at least the income can be higher."

"I think so too, but that boy Buck is disobedient and can't calm down and work hard." Kelly sighed and said, "Just look at the past few days, when has he come to help? I don't know how to run away. Wherever he goes, he will come back at night. He is wasting his time like this day by day, and I am really worried for him. "

Hearing what Kelly said, Zhuang Xuteng immediately felt very happy, especially since Zhuang Feifei was very obedient and was an excellent student in school. To Buck, he could only say, "I hope he can understand your painstaking efforts." He couldn't teach Buck a lesson for Kelly, right?

The two work and chat together every day, and their tacit understanding is getting better and better. The only problem is that Ge Gongdao sometimes acts as a light bulb. However, he has some unique insights into mercenary vehicles and has actually put forward some very meaningful improvement ideas. So the complexity of the car increased slightly, and the workload went from five days to seven days.

It's good to have two extra days. Anyway, Zhuang Xuteng doesn't feel tired after working with Kelly. After a short but happy week together, the car was "finally" built.

Powerful, solid, angular, and industrial style, it is like a soldier returning home after a hundred battles on the battlefield. Even if he is wearing casual clothes, he cannot hide his capable and serious temperament. The driving feel of the car is very tough, with more emphasis on the adjustment of a truck, which is actually very suitable for Zhuang Xuteng's feel.

After the test drive, Zhuang Xuteng was full of praise for the car. Considering the price, he really couldn't fault it. Although it will cost slightly more than originally planned, the pressure armor plates and road stud spreaders are definitely worth it. Although he doesn't want to leave Kelly, he still has to pay for it obediently. He can't just hang around here, right?

"Hey? Where did Buck go?" Kelly took the money and looked around. At the garage, Kelly is in charge of the technology and Buck is in charge of the counter. It should be his job to collect money. And when the car is delivered today, Buck should be there...
