Mobile Shelter

Chapter 229 Negotiation

Lu Ziye never expected that the first thing the other party said would be to question them. According to common sense, when an official convoy encounters a civilian convoy like theirs, they should be taken in and protected, not reacted like this.

Actually, the reason why the other party reacted this way cannot be blamed on Tian Li and his group. The main reason is that at this time, unlike in the peaceful era, the country does not provide a safety net when ordinary people are taken in and sheltered.

At first, their convoy would actively rescue some civilians, but perhaps because they watched too many brainless TV dramas, some of the people they rescued failed to see the situation clearly and made unreasonable demands on them.

Fortunately, Tian Li and his team of high-ranking officials were very decisive. After learning about the situation of those people, they promptly expelled the troublemakers from the convoy.

This situation could happen once or twice, but not three times. After experiencing this situation several times in a row, Tian Li and his official team stopped accepting other strangers.

Even when they encounter some small car teams, those small car teams that want to actively attach themselves to them need to go through layers of investigation before they are accepted by their car teams.

When Tian Li and his team first discovered the Chengfeng team, they assumed that the Chengfeng team, like the other small teams they had encountered before, would want to accept their team's protection.

But when they saw the heavy-duty RVs in the Wind Chaser team, they immediately overturned their previous ideas.

Originally, Tian Li didn't want to come and negotiate with Lu Ziye and the others, but one of the people in the convoy had a connection and was so pleased with the heavy-duty RV that he insisted on getting one as his vehicle.

Just as Dong Qi guessed, among the official armored vehicles, several had their interiors expanded by people with superpowers.

However, because the modifications were made for combat purposes, the level of comfort is still significantly lower than that of a true motorhome.

Perhaps because they had a smooth journey without encountering many dangerous situations, some people still preferred the more comfortable RVs to the safer armored vehicles.

Perhaps because Tian Li's tone was rather aggressive, Lu Ziye's reply was not much better: "What do you mean we approached your convoy? There's only one road to the safe zone. Our convoy was traveling faster than yours, so it's normal for us to overtake you from behind."

If it weren't for giving your team face, do you think you could suppress our team's speed with just those two wolf motorcycles?

If I had known this would be the attitude at the meeting, I should have just stepped on the gas and ignored those two motorcycles blocking the way.

Hearing Lu Ziye's sharp retort, Tian Li was not angered by Lu Ziye's tone. Instead, he calmly continued, "So, you don't need our protection for the rest of the journey, right?"

"My caravan has more than a dozen awakened individuals, and we've destroyed several secret realms along the way. Do you think our caravan needs to accept your caravan's protection?"

Seeing that Lu Ziye's answer was still very firm, Tian Li obtained a lot of valuable information from the other party's words.

However, if Dong Qi and others who knew him very well were present, they would know that Lu Ziye's behavior at this moment was definitely not his true nature, but a deliberate performance.

For some reason, from the moment Lu Ziye saw Tian Li, he felt as if he had seen a kindred spirit.

Therefore, his recklessness at this moment, and Tian Li's performance at this moment, are actually just a contest of acting skills.

"Alright, alright, stop bragging about your convoy. Get to the point. Since you don't need our convoy's protection, what exactly is your purpose in approaching us this time?"

Seeing Tian Li wave his hand, showing that he was uninterested and indifferent.

Lu Ziye didn't hesitate at all and retorted nonchalantly, "What do you mean by asking why we're approaching your convoy? Didn't I already say that the area where your convoy is located overlaps with the route to the safe zone?"

Nobody's stupid. Our team has encountered your team before, so don't use this as an excuse.

Judging from the badge on your shoulder, logically speaking, you don't need to personally interact with unfamiliar teams.

"And you come here and immediately start labeling us. Although I don't know what your real purpose is, I reckon someone else will be the bad cop next."

As soon as Lu Ziye finished speaking, he heard people running quickly towards them from the convoy.

As the other person ran, they said, "Old Tian, ​​Old Tian, ​​don't be impulsive. Let's talk things out."

When he ran over, he saw that Tian Li's expression was a bit strange, while Lu Ziye had an expression of barely suppressing a smile.

Lu Ziye hadn't expected the other party to cooperate with him so well.

Sensing the somewhat strange atmosphere, the newcomer sighed helplessly before speaking, "Old Tian, ​​I told you we're not the type to do this kind of thing."

Then the man turned around and introduced himself to Lu Ziye with a smile: "Hello comrade, I am Sima Shuo from Jinling Military Region."

Upon hearing the other party's self-introduction, Lu Ziye's smile deepened.

Seeing Lu Ziye's expression, Sima Shuo said somewhat dejectedly, "I knew it. Compared to the Zhuge surname, which gives people a sense of intelligence no matter what one's name is, people will subconsciously start to be wary when they hear my surname."

Anyone with even a basic understanding of history should know that Sima Yi's lineage never survived. Even those who managed to survive had long since changed their surnames.

Our Sima family is not related to Sima Yi at all. Everyone who is alive today has a famous ancestor; it's just that my ancestor's name wasn't very pleasant to hear.

After hearing Sima Shuo's explanation, Lu Ziye calmed himself down and then said, "I won't say anything more. You two, just tell me what you want from me."

Upon hearing Lu Ziye's question, Tian Li and Sima Shuo exchanged glances before Tian Li spoke up, saying, "Since you've put it that way, I won't beat around the bush."

Could you spare one of the heavy-duty motorhomes in your fleet for our fleet?

We won't take your RV for free; we can exchange it for goods.

Upon hearing Tian Li's words, Lu Ziye didn't need to communicate with the others in the convoy. He directly said, "Since you've put it that way, I won't take advantage of you. I'll trade you the armored vehicles that you have the most of. It'll be a perfect trade, one for one, so no one loses out."
