Chapter 144 The Iron Chariot Is Dispatched
The next morning, the three of them came to the repair shop. Shi Chenguang's team had already assembled and prepared two vehicles.
One of them was the armored vehicle left by An Xin, and the other was a modified large truck.
The team originally had nine people, plus Xu Sen, Lin Qi Tuan Tuan and Xiao Ling, a total of thirteen people, which was already a mature team.
This time, Lin Qi mobilized all his forces.
"Captain, are we only driving two cars this time?"
In the previous few outings, two people were in one car to maximize the transportation capacity. Although the modified truck had sufficient transportation capacity, it was only one car after all, and it could not carry much stuff.
"The purpose of our outing this time is not to collect supplies, but to hunt mutant creatures. Everything is based on lightness and simplicity. Driving one car is enough."
Only crystals are taken from the first and second level mutant beasts, and the materials of the third level mutant beasts have preliminary value. If some evolved insects can be encountered, Lin Qi may also be interested in doing some research.
However, two cars are indeed insufficient, so Lin Qi went to his own car repair shed and opened the door that had been locked.
With the roar of the engine, a steel behemoth slowly drove out of the open door, and the huge pointed front of the car appeared in front of everyone.
This modified mobile fortress has a width of five meters, and some narrow roads cannot be driven at all, and the length has exceeded eight meters.
The moment the mobile fortress appeared, it had occupied most of the space in the yard and attracted everyone's attention.
"Fuck! Awesome!"
The people around were shocked and indescribable, but they could not find words to describe it for a while.
"Captain, are we taking this car?"
Su Yu couldn't wait to follow the mobile fortress and wanted to explore the situation inside the car.
The steel plate fixed on the outside is only one hundred millimeters thick, which can easily defend against ordinary bullets, and even if you encounter a group of mutant rats, you don't have to panic.
The sense of security hiding inside cannot be described in words.
"Originally I didn't plan to start this car, but after all, tools have to be used before their advantages and disadvantages can be found. This is the first battle of the mobile fortress, and I hope it will bring us a good omen."
Inside the mobile fortress, there are separate rest areas and combat areas, as well as areas for storing supplies, which are enough to accommodate twenty people without being crowded.
The cab can accommodate five people operating at the same time, but after Lin Qi installed a third-order chip, Wei Lan was able to operate synchronously.
More than a dozen people got on the car one by one. Lin Qi started this mobile fortress for the first time, and naturally sat in the main driver's seat. The electronic screen in front of him synchronized the image of the outside world, as if separated by a layer of glass.
Xu Sen and Shi Chenguang also came to the cab and sat in the co-pilot's seat.
"Is this a new tank in the safe zone? Why have I never seen this specification before?"
After all, Shi Chenguang had just been here for a few days and had never seen this steel fortress.
"No, this is a chariot I built myself. All the parts inside were made by me bit by bit."
Thinking of the disassembly and assembly of parts and the welding of steel plates, Lin Qi felt a headache. Fortunately, now that he has the Azure, he can use the super armor to shape some simple parts, which will be much more convenient for further modification in the future.
"Did you build it yourself?"
Shi Chenguang obviously didn't believe it. Such a big car, even a professional car factory, could not build it without technical guidance.
"It was slowly modified from an armored vehicle. Although the parts are not precise, it should be able to start."
At this moment, the door was opened. Lin Qi stepped on the gas, and the steel fortress roared again, and the setbacks when the machine was running could be clearly felt.
"It's shaking a bit, will it fall apart?"
Everyone in the car was a little worried. From the outside, the steel fortress gave people a feeling of being unshakable, but it didn't feel good to sit in it. You could even clearly feel the crisp sound of friction between parts.
"Don't worry, the new car needs to be run-in after all. You will slowly get used to it after being on the road for a while."
Lin Qi did not let Wei Lan assist, but chose manual operation. After driving the Iron Fortress out of the repair shop, he turned onto the main road.
Such a huge vehicle driving on the street made passers-by and vehicles retreat and avoid it, fearing that they would be touched.
One car even failed to dodge and fell directly into the ditch.
"See, as long as we are strong enough, others will take the initiative to give way to us."
Driving all the way to the ruins, there was no obstacle on the road, but the special existence of this Iron Fortress was noticed and reported to some people.
But now it is impossible to stop this huge vehicle from leaving the city.
It came to the city wall in the middle of the ruins and stopped at the built city gate.
Fang Xu seemed to have received orders long ago. He waited in front of the city gate with several soldiers. When he saw the iron chariot driving over, he couldn't help but take a breath.
"When did the safe zone produce a chariot of this level?"
Although he was only responsible for guarding a city wall, he could also understand some information in the safe zone. He had never heard of an organization that researched and manufactured special vehicles.
But thinking of the order just issued by his superior, he still went forward.
"Stop and get inspected!"
Fang Xu personally stepped forward to stop the chariot and looked at the closed window curiously, wondering who could own such a chariot.
"Captain Fang, long time no see."
The car window opened and Lin Qi's voice came out. Fang Xu suddenly felt familiar, but it was only when he saw his face clearly that he recognized Lin Qi.
"It's brother Lin Qi! Is this car yours?"
Seeing that he was an acquaintance, Fang Xu lowered his guard and came closer.
"How do I have the strength to build such a powerful tank? This is the tank of the Minister of Logistics and Security. It has just been successfully developed. Let's drive it out for testing."
Lin Qi once again took An Xin out to block the arrows. When he drove the car out, he probably guessed that he would be in trouble when he left the city.
"Well, I just received a notice from above asking Brother Lin not to leave the city yet. Your car has already attracted the attention of those above."
Fang Xu lowered his voice and motioned to Lin Qi to cooperate, otherwise he would not be able to explain.
If it were someone you didn't know, there would have been no need to negotiate, and the car would have been seized with a gun.
"Sorry, we are in a hurry to get out of the city. No one can stop us except Minister An's order. Captain Fang should get out of the way. Otherwise, when the car runs over, your flesh and blood will not be able to stop us."
Lin Qi didn't care who was spying on the chariot he had worked so hard to build. He just stepped on the accelerator and the chariot started slowly.
"Don't be impulsive. Brother Lin has something to discuss, so it won't be easy for me to explain!"
Fang Xu chased him in front of the car window with a pleading look on his face. If Lin Qi was allowed to leave, those people would definitely settle the score with him when they came.
But the sentry in front of the city gate was directly crushed and knocked away, without any hindrance at all.
Looking at the steel chariot going away, Fang Xu reluctantly took the gun from the hand of the person next to him and fired a few shots into the air, which was considered a response.
"When those people come, tell them that the chariot just broke through the barrier by force. We can't stop it and let them chase it on their own!"
