Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 287 Rangers

“——I can’t catch up!”

Amid the violent roar, Song Shi laughed and shifted the speed gear to the top. He stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the car's already terrifying speed increased again. Like a bullet hitting the air, it sped across the earth, leaving a trail of dust in the air.

The off-road police car with the Security Bureau logo behind was running at full speed, but it was pulled away in an instant, and the distance between the two increased at a speed visible to the naked eye. One of the sentries cursed, raised the rocket launcher and was about to lean out of the window to fire, but was suddenly pulled back by a hand.

"Alright, alright! That's not necessary!" The colleague spat, "He drove a car with this configuration and dared to break through the checkpoint. Do you think that bastard can fight? The border line belongs to the company, but our lives are our own! And anyway, he didn't break in from outside."

The sentry carrying the rocket launcher gritted his teeth and sat down again unwillingly.

"You're not going to pursue me now? Your sense of responsibility is worrying."

Song Shi glanced at the police car in the rearview mirror, and shook his head: "It's rare to have a nice car, and I want to try a chase scene."

Since leaving the Rockal Plain two days ago, Song Shi has been crossing the wasteland and advancing towards the border of the corporate alliance.

Originally, they could have easily driven out by finding places with weak border defenses, but when they happened to see a checkpoint, Song Shi became interested and chose to go straight through it. Unfortunately, the border guards gave up after chasing him for a short while.

"Next, it's no-man's land."

Song Shi's hands were on the steering wheel. Compared to the "trackball", he was more proficient in this old-fashioned operating system.

All the way east.

No matter which county you plan to enter from, if you want to reach the territory of the Pan-Eastern Continental Federation, you must first go east and cross large tracts of unowned land that have become "wasteland".

Originally, they could have chosen to sail on the sea, but the Seven Lands War left behind a large number of undercurrent torpedoes, silent intelligent-controlled submarines, and autonomous underwater mechas. These killing machines, which could no longer be commanded, wandered in the deep sea all day long and became the "ghost ships" of this era.

Even some of them had their permissions tampered with by the intelligent machines that had escaped into the deep sea and built computing units in the abyss. They took over the control and would actively search for and attack human ships.

In addition to these things, there are also sea beasts - the various technological abuses of the Seven Earth Wars have permanently polluted the oceans and given rise to giant, crazy mutant sea beasts.

Among them, the phantom beasts that have awakened their psychic powers but have been polluted, and the mutated sea beasts that have been polluted and then awakened their psychic powers, while fighting and devouring each other, also harbor great hostility towards humans, and often overturn passing ships and devour the lives of the crew.

And considering these factors, traveling by sea may be more dangerous.

This is why ocean trade is so difficult and lucrative today.

"Fengzhou. Fengzhou County." Song Shi looked at the map on the screen and tapped on it intermittently: "If we drive a little further, we will have to rely on ourselves."

The electronic map provided by Qimingzhe only had a rough outline of the area outside the corporate alliance, and the actual details were very vague. The complicated and unknown road conditions were no problem for me, but they still had an impact on the car. After all, no matter how luxurious the configuration was, it was not a shuttle and could not fly over the mountain.

[Time Sequence Passage] and [Valley Covering and Development] do have more detailed map versions, but it is obvious that they will not be given to me.

Unless you pay a lot of credit points.

But Song Shi didn't want to pay money to the company.

"Lapis Lazuli, can you hack into the ChronoPass navigation database and create a map?"

"The success rate is close to 0." Lapis Lazuli answered simply: "The navigation database is an important asset for time-series communication, and its protection strength is extremely high. With my depth 4 ability, I can't hack it, and it may be traced back to our location." "Of course, if you want to see an orbital airborne force or a hypersonic weapon attack, then I can try it now."

"Forget it then."

Song Shi said casually.

Anyway, when I first left the Pan-Eastern Continental Union, there was no detailed map. I just found a direction and headed straight ahead. It’s not a bad idea to recall it now.
The scorching sun at noon slowly sets, and the twilight is dim and yellow.

“——Someone.”

After an unknown amount of time, Lapis Lazuli suddenly spoke.

"I saw it." Song Shi sat up straight from his lying position, pulled up the chair, and stared to the side for a moment: "Three people one kilometer away, with vehicles, no hostility at the moment."

"Oh, they've noticed us too, but it's probably not 'perception', they're relying on some kind of reconnaissance equipment." Song Shi's pupils lit up, showing a faint red gold: "Hmm? They're actively moving towards us? They seem quite confident."

Even though it is the same “wasteland”.

But the wasteland within the national borders is obviously milder than the wasteland outside the borders.

In such a dangerous place, if you run into a stranger, the best solution is to avoid him and nip any crisis in the bud. However, at this moment, the other party took the initiative to approach, either a novice or a...
They have enough confidence in their own strength and are confident that they can control the situation no matter what happens.

Then let’s meet.

Song Shi stopped the car, took out a can of soft drink endorsed by Chunguang Drinks and Nan Dou from the car refrigerator, and waited quietly for the other party to come over.

The low roar came closer and closer, and in a moment, the shadows of three motorcycles appeared in the distance. They saw the stopped car, looked at each other, deliberately slowed down, and slowly drove over.

When they were about a hundred meters apart, the leader stopped and made a "come?" gesture. Seeing Song Shi nodded, they continued to move forward and came to the side of the car.

The three men were all dressed in the same outfit, wearing thick capes, turbans and collars, with most of their faces hidden. The dust on their motorcycles had stuck to every inch of the gap and was wrapped around the exhaust pipes, and it was obvious that they had been in the wild for a long time.

"Bart."

The leading man pulled down his collar slightly, revealing a chapped face. He pointed at himself first, then at the two people beside him: "Qi Lang, Ma Wen."

"Song Shi." Song Shi opened the car door and stood on the ground: "What can I do for you?"

"We are wanderers." The man who called himself "Bart" smiled and patted the trunk twice, making an empty sound. "We are running out of supplies this time, and the nearest gathering point is still far away. We happened to meet you, so we wanted to exchange some supplies."

"Don't worry, we are not bandits." Bart took off his cloak, slowly reached into his arms in front of the other party, and took out a card wallet: "Money is easy to talk about, uh. How about credit points?"

Song Shi looked at the card bag, which was filled with various data cards. He looked at Bart again, and the man looked at him calmly.

"If I accept the credit points, then the next step is for you to find an excuse to travel together, and chat about the situation of the corporate alliance on the way."

Song Shi folded his hands and leaned against the car: "Yenan's Rangers?"
