"Did you run into any trouble?" he asked.
"Jie-Jun, please come here." Chang Pu gestured to his side.
After he stood up, she pointed at the section of the map that represented the track with her fair and slender finger and said,"
"Jibeisi has already brought people to take a look. On the track to the next station, there is a slanted steel shaft that Armor City can't pass through. And if we return from here and take another station, it will take at least ten days…our food is simply not enough.”
"Originally, we were going to replenish our supplies here.”"Not only have we failed to resupply them, but we've also received nearly a hundred people…"
This would cause the consumption of food to be faster than before.
Fang Jie grasped the unfavorable situation and nodded. Since he had long thought of increasing his food reserves by hunting animals and collecting wild vegetables and fruits, he was not worried about the lack of food... Instead, he paid attention to other places.
"Can't the Metal Fortress pass through the slanted steel shaft safely with the force of the collision?”
"If we hit it, it will definitely derail!”Ji prepared the way.
"So, what pushed that shaft askew?”"Have you asked the survivors about this?" asked Fang Jie, stroking his chin.”
He looked at Chang Pu, and Chang Pu looked at the four warriors…The warriors shook their heads.
After pausing for two to three seconds, he said,""Although we didn't ask, we found that there are very few Kabanets on the route and near this station. It shouldn't be dangerous, right?”
"Just because there's no danger this time doesn't mean that it won't appear again. It was best not to be ambiguous on such matters.”
Fang Jie, who had watched movies like Resident Evil, thought that it would be better if it was an accident…What he was most worried about was that the Kabane virus had produced an unknown monster.
In addition, he had just reflected on the lesson he had learned not long ago and decided that he would never fail to solve the problem in time after discovering it.
"How about this, we'll split up and act." Since the steel shaft was so crooked that even Armor Metal City couldn't break it open, it wasn't something that could be handled by manpower…He could ask the motorbike workers to see if there was any way for them to do so. Miss Chang Pu, I hope to ask the survivors about the shaft's collapse.”
"... Thank you." "I can get a warrior to accompany you," Chang Pu said.”
"Then, leave it to me to ask the mechanic.”Ji Beishi also agreed.
He walked back to the carriage with Fang Jie. On the way to find the motorbike worker, he called out to a warrior and temporarily assigned him to Fang Jie.
The warrior accompanied Fang Jie to the back of the carriage.
Fang Jie saw that the women in Jia Tie City were carrying bamboo baskets filled with rice balls and distributing food one by one.
Those who accepted the food looked dejected and weak.
Fang Jie greeted a plump woman." Auntie, I would like to take some time to ask them some questions. I hope I won't disturb you."”
"Oh, Jie-Jun…you're good.”the woman said.
Fang Jie gestured to the warrior.
The samurai took a step forward and said loudly to the people in the carriage,"Did anyone see what caused the shaft to collapse on the track?”
No one answered. Even the woman holding the bamboo basket stopped for a moment.
The samurai asked twice, and it was still the same. He could only give up and look at Fang Jie.
Fang Jie thought for a moment." Then, does anyone know what might have caused the steel shaft to collapse? If you provide clues, you can eat one more rice ball.”
Many of the people who were immersed in the food and were actually indifferent to the problem raised their heads.
"Auntie," Fang Jie said to the woman.”
"It must be very important for such a smart man like Jason to come and ask.”
The woman handed him a rice ball.
"Thank you." Fang Jie took it and walked to the center of the crowd. He repeated what he had said earlier.
A man raised his hand hesitantly…Fang Jie gestured for him to speak.
The man with a tired face and unshaven beard looked fearful as he recalled something." It might be caused by the black smoke! Three days ago, he suddenly appeared and crossed the city wall. After that, it was hell…"
He flinched. The content of his speech ended there. However, his eyes were fixed on the rice ball in Fang Jie's hand, revealing a look of desire.
"Can…can I eat it?"
'I didn't expect there to be something unusual…But, black smoke?'Fang Jie mulled over the word, but he could not make a clear impression. However, the fact that it was able to cross the tall wall meant that the other party was huge enough to cause the steel shaft to tilt.
He walked up to the man and handed over the rice ball. At the same time, he said," Can you describe the black smoke to me in detail?”
"I-if there is another one, I will think about it.”the man said cunningly after taking the rice ball.
This made Fang Jie frown.
Normally, two rice balls were nothing, but in Metal City, it was equivalent to a day's worth of food…If the problem with the route could not be solved and they changed the route, it might become two days 'worth of food.
Eating one more would mean living one more day.
One rice ball was definitely not a small amount.
Besides,'This guy really doesn't have any gratitude at all. Has he forgotten who provided him with food? Who will share the food with him and protect him along the way?'
Fang Jie ignored his request. Instead, he faced everyone who was looking at him enviously and said loudly,"
"Other than him, for my next meal…I'll give the food to whoever can provide the clearest description.”
Everyone was stunned by his words and looked at him in surprise.
Fang Jie was unmoved. He stood there expressionlessly.
A few seconds later, no one said a word. Perhaps it was because of his boldness…The man standing next to him was also a little nervous. He did not know what Fang Jie meant. He tried to open his mouth a few times but stopped.
In this silence, clack, thump, clack, thump…footsteps mixed with strange sounds came from the other side of the door.
Fang Jie looked over and saw a man walking in. The man was leaning on a bamboo pole. One of his feet was missing from the middle of his calf and was replaced by a rod-shaped prosthetic.
After the man entered the car, he was stunned by the quiet atmosphere. She used her uncovered eye to glance at Fang Jie, who was standing in a conspicuous position, and then quickly looked away. He found an empty seat nearby and sat down.# Date:08 24 2019 10:30AM
