Chapter 860: Small Town
Two days later.
Particles of yellow sand flew in the air and kept falling on the road.
A jeep passed by on the road, kicking up a large amount of dust.
Su Xiao sighed as he sat in the driver's seat. He had been driving for two days and had already reached the desolate territory. This Jeep was Fatty Ma's favorite car because of its good performance.
Looking at the tablet, he realized that he was almost at his destination.
Strong gusts of wind kept making the sand beat against the jeep...
An hour later, Su Xiao arrived at the stone bridge. The railings on both sides of the bridge were removed by someone.
A shabby SUV was parked right in the middle of this bridge. Its windows were blocked with sand, which made it impossible to look inside the car.
From a distance, it might seem that you could drive to the right of it, but in reality, you could only drive there if you damaged your car.
— Hey~, " in front of the shabby SUV, a woman with a dusty face started waving her arms. Her lips were cracked, as if she'd been standing there for quite some time.
After driving forward for a bit, Su Xiao slowed down, and the woman immediately ran up to his car and started shouting something loudly.
She asked for help.
Su Xiao turned his head and looked at the woman.
Her acting skills were really quite good.
When he lowered the window of his Jeep, the woman breathed a sigh of relief and leaned forward.
— My car broke down, can you help with - " but the woman's face suddenly froze and she slowly raised her hands and stepped back.
— How can I help you? Su Xiao asked as he stuck his elbow out the car window.
He had a pistol in his hand.
— No, it's all right, never mind, " the woman said and waved in the direction of her car. The battered SUV immediately started up and pulled away.
The woman, hands clasped together, backed away and apologized again..
Su Xiao started the engine and drove away. As soon as Su Xiao's car was out of sight, the woman took out a water bottle from her waist and quickly drained it.
— I waited all day, but the rabbit didn't show up. Instead, a wolf appeared. It's bad luck, " the woman muttered, and tossed the empty water bottle away.
All of a sudden, her legs buckled, and her arm slid down and jerked forward.
*Whew~*
The knife stabbed into a gray snake that was more than a meter long.
— Here's dinner, " the woman said, touching her dusty cheeks.
A few minutes later, the battered SUV was back in its place.
He started blocking the road again.
The locals called this stone bridge the "Pokai" Bridge, and all the locals knew that if someone wanted to pass through it, they had to be prepared to lose their money and belongings.
This land was no man's land. It was located between three countries and was considered a border area, which eventually became a land without laws. Poachers, drug lords, organized crime groups and so on were very active on this land.
This land didn't have any resources and was covered in sand. The only value of this land was the presence of some wild animals, but no country would fight for animals.
Moreover, as long as this land existed, some big shots were doing very well.
Even though it was a no-man's land, it didn't mean that it didn't have laws. On the contrary, the laws in this land were even stricter. For example, the pair of robbers who got in Su Xiao's way only took valuables and always left some food and water so that the person could eventually get to safety.
Three hours later, Su Xiao saw a checkpoint. Several soldiers in green uniforms and carrying rifles were standing in front of the checkpoint.
They did not belong to any particular country, but to local authorities. There were 6 of them in total and they were under the patronage of four local authorities.
As a result, Su Xiao's car was stopped. Two soldiers with rifles blocked the road, and the other four surrounded the car.
And no, it wasn't an ambush. This checkpoint had been standing in this place for a very long time.
Su Xiao rolled down the window and stuck out a brand new wad of money.
The soldier quickly stepped forward and, seeing the red bills, clearly relaxed his guard.
— 嘎巴特码...
Su Xiao couldn't understand what he was saying, as this guy was speaking in a language he didn't recognize.
One of the soldiers who was standing in front of the car came over when he heard this and said in broken Chinese, " Okay, if you have a weapon on you, the fee will be increased to 3.000.
Taking off his brown sunglasses, Su Xiao reached into his bag on the seat next to him, took out a wad of money, and counted out a third of it.
After receiving the money from him, the soldier immediately put a blue sticker on the windshield of the jeep, and then he gave the signal and they all got off the road.
Of course, they understood that Su Xiao wasn't a good person, but a good person would come to such a place?
This place didn't even exist on the maps. But not only on maps. Even on the news, an ordinary person wouldn't have heard anything about this place.
It was only a matter of time before this land disappeared, but right now, too many reputable people needed a place like this. Such lands had their own "expiration date". As soon as it came to an end, local authorities disappeared without a trace and new ones appeared.
Soon, Su Xiao slowly drove into the small town. The town looked quite lively. Rows of grills were set up on both sides of the street. Next to each grill were iron cages with different wild animals.
After driving a little more, Su Xiao parked the car on the side of the road. He didn't lock it or even take the key out of the ignition.
In a civilized world, it would be unwise to do so, but in a place like this, it was the best choice.
It didn't matter how good the car's security system was. If someone wants to steal it, they will do it, regardless of whether they need to break the car window and shamanize with wires.
Taking his bag with him, Su Xiao looked at the hotel he had parked near. Previously, he would have been able to sleep in the open air, but now he was no stronger than an ordinary person, so he needed the usual comforts.
After resting at the hotel, he went outside in the evening with his bag on his shoulder and saw that his car was still standing in its place intact.
The blue sticker on the windshield most likely played a big role in this.
Su Xiao had never seen such a sticker before. It must have appeared quite recently.
As for what the name of the city he was staying in was, everyone called it "Little Town". To be precise, it couldn't have had an official name. The less visible it was, the better it was.
Walking to his car, Su Xiao took a look at the tablet, slung his bag on his back, and thought.
He sensed that someone was still following him.
— I've been watching him all day, do you want to do something about it already?
— No, he's very careful and dangerous. Let's change the goal. Recently Baku people have become more and more curious.
— So what? Baku now has the last word.
— He's just a drug lord. Hell, I've always been smelling this weird smell lately. He must have started producing goods on a large scale.
— I have no doubt about that, but I wonder where he got these people from, his guys are just monsters.
— Baku? A man's voice suddenly rang out from behind the two guys.
— Who...
*Poof-poof-poof-poof...*
Blood splattered on the ground.
— The man whose arm was shot through wanted to shout, but a foot stepped on his face, not giving him a chance.
