From scrap mecha to science fiction paradise

Chapter 25 Paradise Dry Port
"It's just ahead."

Under the guidance of Wang Xiaoliu, the convoy drove through the wasteland for five days, from plains to hilly mountain roads, and finally stopped in front of a valley.

This valley is very interesting. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, but there are gaps on all sides. From a distance, you can see a large number of vehicles coming in and out. There are high-rise buildings and small shabby houses built by private owners, but most of them are Various warehouses and containers.

"I never expected that there would be such a lively place in the wasteland."

Lin Yu came to the checkpoint set up at the entrance of the valley, looked at the prosperous scene around him, and couldn't help but be slightly speechless.

After traveling together for several days, Wang Xiaoliu, the guide, was standing beside him like a follower. Naturally, Lin Yu already knew the destination of this trip.

This is a dry port, that is, a land freight port.

Or it can be said that this is a logistics transfer station.

Of course, since it exists in the wasteland, it is definitely not a particularly formal one.

The Blue Star Federation's normal logistics uses underground rail trains or carrier ships. Each city has its own train station and airport. Normally, it does not use wasteland.

Those who have traveled through the wasteland are either poor and crazy and take risks, or they are speculators in the wasteland business. But more often than not, they or the things they transport are not visible to the public.

The current valley is a spontaneously formed cargo distribution and repair and supply station - Paradise Port.

Even though this is a valley, it is located at the junction of multiple gathering places on the wasteland and in the middle of three cities. The roads are also extremely smooth. It is a unique location in terms of geographical location.

Pay the fee, enter the port, and the journey is uneventful.

Paradise Port can be regarded as a gathering place and a dry port. The largest area is various warehouses, containers, and parking lots, but there are also small living areas. At the same time, it has formed an extremely prosperous commercial street and vendor trading area.

After entering Paradise Port, parking the car and finding a hotel to settle down, Zhao Xing also gathered everyone for a small meeting and stated the goal of the mission.

"The Brotherhood of Steel, according to the known information, owns a second-generation mecha, driven by its leader, Larudo, a major federal wanted criminal. It does not rule out that it also has some heavy weapons and cyber modifiers..."

Zhao Xing briefly introduced the target information, and then said: "The opponent should be hiding in Paradise Port. We need to find him. At the same time, it is best to find Larudo directly for a beheading operation without giving him the chance to pilot a mecha. .”

As he spoke, he looked at the six members of Jova's team and said, "This is why I hired you."

"No problem, we are very good at finding people. As long as we are not facing mechas, we should be able to handle it."

As a well-known mercenary team in the industry, Qiao Wa is very confident in the professional level of his team.

"I'll take care of the mecha."

Zhao Xing nodded slightly.

After pausing for a moment, he looked at Lin Yu and said: "Brother Lin, you are actually beyond my expectation. I originally planned to ask Qiao Wa to call some more powerful mercenaries. First, when I logged in to the machine The first is to protect me, the second is to find Larudo and behead him as much as possible."

Lin Yu nodded when he heard this.

Zhao Xing's thinking is not difficult to understand.

Once a mecha master boards a mecha, even if it is only a generation of mecha, it will have a crushing level of combat power against ordinary cyber reformers.

But before wearing armor, mecha masters are often extremely fragile.

After all, not everyone is willing to give up their biological body for prosthetic transformation.

Even if it is modified, it is only equivalent to an ordinary cybermodifier, and the mecha's interactive system must be specially modified and adapted accordingly.

Therefore, compared to confronting a pilot of the same level head-on, it is obviously much simpler and safer to implement a decapitation tactic and kill the opponent before he gets on the mecha.

Originally, Zhao Xing probably asked him to find more manpower after hiring Qiao Wa, but Qiao Wa, who didn't know the details, contacted Black Snake, who was close to him.

It turned out that Black Snake was a swindler. Probably because he wanted to flatter Zhao Xing and befriend Lin Yu, a rising star with great potential, he actually managed to get Lin Yu to join this mission.

According to normal logic, a mecha master, no matter how bad he is, is definitely better than an ordinary mercenary. But what Zhao Xing wanted was not frontal combat power at all, but help finding people and beheadings. Lin Yu, a half-assed mecha master, was naturally not that suitable.

After all, if you drive a mecha over, isn't that just to alert others and tell them to get the mecha quickly?

Finding people and decapitating people can't help. Against Laludo's second-generation mecha, Dawn, which can barely even be said to be a first-generation mecha, has an insurmountable gap with it, and it can't intervene in the battle between the two. .

It's no wonder that the other party didn't pay much attention to it before. It was indeed of no importance in the first place.

"My next plan is for Jova and the others to find someone, while I will be in the mecha ready to provide support at any time."

Zhao Xing paused for a moment and then continued to make arrangements. He looked at Lin Yu and said, "As you say, I don't have more manpower to protect you, so you'd better stay with me to protect Mr. Zhang and me. The main focus is on accompanying logistics.”

"can."

Lin Yu nodded, indicating that he had no objection.

Anyway, he is doing things for the benefit. As for what he does, as long as it is not too excessive, just follow the arrangements.

"Ah."

Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief and his eyes fell on Old Man Zhang again.

"Don't look at me. As I told you, old man, I'm just here to take a look, but I can't be of much help."

When Old Man Zhang saw Zhao Xing looking at him, he immediately waved his hand.

"It's natural."

Zhao Xing's serious expression instantly turned into a smile with a hint of ingratiation.

With this person here, even if he does nothing, he can feel at ease.

Don't look at the ruthlessness you are talking about now.

If there was any accident, Mr. Zhang would not be able to watch them die.

Definitely still have to help.

Thinking this way, he was even looking forward to something unexpected happening during this trip.

At that time, you will be able to witness the style of this legendary pilot with your own eyes.

Maybe after sharing hardships, we can strengthen our relationship and let Mr. Zhang become his disciple?
No matter what happens, if Mr. Zhang can be invited back to reorganize the Thunder Strike, it will be a great achievement for the association and even the federation, right?

It's a pity that Mr. Zhang is too cold and cold...

It is also understandable that legendary figures naturally have the arrogance and quirks of legendary figures.

"Hey, Mr. Lin, look, your next task is to protect me. Anyway, you are idle..."

Old man Zhang approached Lin Yu with a stern expression as if no one else was around.

Zhao Xing: "..."

"It would be great if I, like Brother Lin, established such a deep friendship with Mr. Zhang early."

Zhao Xing endured it again and again, but in the end he couldn't hold back the strong envy in his heart.

A poor boy and an eccentric old man had an irresistible relationship, but later found out that the eccentric old man was actually an expert hermit.

What an enviable storyline.
