Chapter 837 Lincheng Base
Lincheng Base is still far away from the Penang base that Lan Pingru wants to go to, but it is the nearest big base on their way, and it is also Zhang Qiang’s hometown.
The reason why he went was not entirely because of Zhang Qiang’s strong advocacy, but mainly because Lin Fan was eager to find a place where he could take a hot bath.
She hasn't taken a shower for three days...
Lin Fan rested his head on the back window and thought as he looked out at the dark and deserted wilderness.
She didn't know if it was due to the mutation of animals and plants on this planet, but she felt that there was always a faint rancid smell in the air, and it seemed that mutated bacteria that were invisible to the naked eye were everywhere.
There are also all kinds of gray grass and debris that are sprayed out when killing mutant plants...
Although Anton is mostly the one who does it, she is close and it is inevitable that some plants will explode. The juice and residue splashed all over the sky...
She picked up the fabric at her collar and put it under her nose and smelled it... She felt that even opening the window couldn't dissipate the stench. Ugh...
For Captain Lin, who has a slight mysophobia and is used to taking a shower before going to bed every day, this invisible mental damage is much stronger than ordinary physical damage.
no! Gotta take a shower quickly!
Not to mention her, even Antonio, who claimed to be used to surviving in the wild, felt that the stench would enter his body along his mouth, so he spoke a lot less.
Lan Pingru and Zhang Qiang have long been accustomed to the hardships of the end of the world, and have even fallen into more embarrassing predicaments many times. Who among the combatants facing wild monsters has not been covered in stinking juice? They didn't think about it at all.
Just seeing that the boss was unhappy, the two of them acted more cautiously, fearing that they would become an emotional flashpoint.
Lan Pingru remained silent and tried to reduce her presence as much as possible. Zhang Qiang's way of selling tricks is just the opposite. He keeps looking for various topics, hoping to make the boss laugh.
So, Lin Fan heard how good the Lincheng Base would be for big guys like them, providing a good living environment, delicious food, comfortable residences, and various powerful means of transportation, including electricity, oil, and When the handsome guys and beauties were warming up in the sauna, they immediately agreed to go there.
Zhang Qiang was ecstatic. The supplies that I have worked hard to save will not be taken away, and the boss and the others...
Lan Bingru will naturally not object.
If Zhang Qiang was not still alive, it would be a good option for her to settle in Lincheng Base. It's better than her old base, although she can't help but feel disgusted when she sees that guy.
But the Penang base is better. It is the best base she knows so far. I heard that the people living there are very happy.
After spending the past few days together, Lan Bingru realized more deeply how good-natured the two bosses were. Now that the big boss has said to send her to Penang...
She secretly glanced at Lin Fan, who was paralyzed in the back seat and had no airs at all... Then she would continue to grow stronger. Be brave and indulge this extravagant hope in your heart.
The broken bread pressed the red line on the fuel gauge and finally arrived at the Lincheng base.
The towering city walls reflect different shades of metallic black under the setting sun.
“This wall of yours…” Antonio looked at the city wall that was welded like patches everywhere and was speechless for a moment.
"Hey," Zhang Qiang held the steering wheel and flattered, "Time is tight, and this is not a heavy industry city. It's good to be able to collect these steel plates to build an exterior wall protection. It's ugly, but it's strong. . Of course, it can’t be compared to the base you two are in.”
We have a ghost base. Lin An and the two complained silently in their hearts.
“I heard that the CICC base in the north, because it originally developed the metallurgical heavy industry, has a very beautiful exterior protection, which is made of stainless steel and is very thick, and even the welding lines are not obvious.” Lan Bingru said.
"Yes, yes, this is all a matter of local conditions." Zhang Qiang agreed, "Our metal industry is not strong here, but the entertainment industry is developed. It doesn't matter whether the exterior wall protection is ugly or not, in our base it is Feasting on lights, singing and dancing... Tsk, that’s what it means to be happy.”
Lincheng was originally an economically developed port tourist city. If you have money, materials, and a developed entertainment industry, it is a matter of course for you to live a life of luxury and indulgence. It is also ranked among the best in the entire continent. Before the end of the world, I don’t know how many people flocked to it.
"Oh?" Lin Fan thought of Lanxing's Portuguese city, became a little interested, and sat up a little, "Then I should have a good look at it."
Zhang Qiang saw this and talked even more enthusiastically. , spit foam directly from the core. "Hey! Where did you come from? Get out of the car and get inspected!" The guard at the city gate saw an unfamiliar car coming and thought there was money to be made, so he came over with a deliberately evil voice.
"You're blind!" Zhang Qiang stepped on the brakes, rested his left arm on the car window, and stuck his head out, "Who are you talking to?"
< br>As soon as he changed his humble attitude in front of Lin An and the two of them, his whole demeanor changed, and his arrogant look reminded everyone that he was actually a villain.
"Ouch, Brother Qiang!" The guard was also caught off guard. He hurriedly rubbed his hands and trotted up, his face turned into a smile. "Brother Qiang, why did you come back in such a broken car? That big jeep you went out..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Qiang was still very powerful when he was angry. He stopped the other party from peering into the car, "Open the door for me quickly!"
The guard saw two expressions on the back seat. The pretty woman thought she understood and backed away with a look of obscenity on her face. "Okay, okay, I'll open the door for you immediately. Open the door! Brother Qiang is back."
When Antonio watched the car pass through the city gate, the guards on both sides bowed their heads and smiled obsequiously at the two broken breads. Driving smoothly into the wide streets of the inner city, I turned my head to look at the person in the driver's seat and smiled.
“I didn’t expect you to be so powerful.”
The arrogance on Zhang Qiang's face immediately turned into a cautious one to please. "No, no, it's not me, it's the big brother I was with before... Hehe..."
Lin Fan understood. He is the pawn who works for the tiger, and he borrows the prestige of his boss. But if the people at the base knew that the boss was gone...
Zhang Qiang had obviously thought of the consequences, and spat out a series of good words, with the general idea that he wanted to follow the two of them.
Antonio glanced back at Lin Fan and saw that she had a calm expression and smiled without saying a word.
A person like Zhang Qiang is definitely not a good person. But if you call him bad... Tsk, he's not bad in the ordinary sense. He's just a coward with no heart and no courage.
Antonio thought this man was pretty good, non-threatening, and smooth in his actions. Although he was not too shameless, he did save them a lot of trouble along the way.
He and Lin Fan had just arrived, and they couldn't figure out many things for a while. It might be a good choice to have such a flexible person join.
I just don’t know what Lin Fan is thinking.
Maybe she will consider the position of Miss Lan... Well, let's talk about it then.
When I first entered Lincheng, what I saw was completely different from the luxury Lin Fan imagined.
Low houses, dark environment, and many people's bare feet can be seen under many dilapidated tarpaulins. " ...Is this what you call a developed entertainment industry?" Lin Fan withdrew his gaze, not wanting to look outside anymore.
The environment she lived in since childhood made it difficult for her to adapt to such a normalized "entertainment industry".
“No, no, no, this is a slum area, where low-class people live. It’s very dirty. You must not be tainted by these people.” Zhang Qiang quickly explained, “We want Go to the center, the further inside, the better the environment will be, just wait.”
Lin Fan glanced past the dilapidated shanties on both sides and saw many thin people with dejected expressions and full of despair.
"They are like this..." She licked her lips, not knowing what to say.
Lan Bingru saw the worry on Lin Fan's face and comforted her. "Those at the end will be eliminated naturally. The end of the world is more cruel than any competitive system. So people are struggling to climb up. Those who can break free are gone, and there is no way out."
Zhang Qiang was rarely silent.
Yes, in this damn world, how many choices are there?
