Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 81 Chapter 79

After bouncing on the intercity bus for an hour and a half, Zhuang Xuteng finally came to Fourth League Town again.He was not in the mood to appreciate the surrounding scenery, but he just tried to move his legs and came to the Tomato Family Garage at the fastest speed that was still walking.He couldn't wait to see Kelly again.

The excitement is still the same, but this time I am not nervous, which must be an improvement.It was difficult for Zhuang Xuteng to explain his feelings, and he couldn't tell whether his liking for Kaili was love at first sight or in a daze, but in the end, it's not just a matter of seeing sex.When approaching the garage, Zhuang Xuteng slowed down, adjusted his breathing, checked his collar and trousers for the last time, patted his chest, and walked in with a smile on his face.

I didn't introduce it in detail before. Considering that this is the third time I have come here, I have to talk about the situation.The garage was originally a gas station, so naturally there was a house that served as a small general store and an office, and the water coal machine was under its protruding eaves.After the two brothers and sisters took over the gas station, they used grid iron fences to enclose the surrounding area, leaving only the original entrance and exit of the road.The machines for adding water and pulverized coal are still in place, while a wall of the department store has been removed and transformed into three vehicle repair bays.

The original office remains, with an "open" sign on the door.Since all three vehicle repair bays are empty, the office is the most likely location to find Kelly.Zhuang Xuteng walked straight over and opened the door directly. The knocker on the door made a clear and pleasant sound, and a bright fire-like color flashed across the corner.

"Is that you? Welcome." Kelly put down the welding torch in her hand and said coldly, "Are you here for shopping, or..."

Zhuang Xuteng was about to pour out the opening remarks he had thought up on the road, when he saw Buck suddenly stand up from behind the counter, and waved his hands vigorously to say hello: "Hi, you are here! Are the things sold?"

"Buck!" Kelly glared at him and said, "You have to pay attention!"

"I'm just a normal person who solves problems for others, so don't be so nervous. I..." This is no longer the opening line I prepared before, so I can only let it happen. "I've come here for several things. The first thing is to give you this package."

Zhuang Xuteng pulled out a thick envelope from the inside of the backpack and handed it to Kelly.

"Wow, how many are there?" Buck jumped over from the other side of the L-shaped counter, using both hands and feet.He pretended to just look at it, and took advantage of Kelly not paying attention, and snatched the envelope full of money from her hand.

"Don't make trouble! Go to the back and count!" Kelly glared at her younger brother, and then said to Zhuang Xuteng, "Thank you for sending me here, we thought you would never come again."

"I promise to do it, and this thing can't be sold directly in the market like apple tomatoes." Zhuang Xuteng will feel happy when he sees Kaili, and he doesn't need to control his expression, he will smile involuntarily. "The second thing is, I want to get you a car."

Kelly tilted her head and said, "No. I don't serve clients I don't know."

"Nike, let's get to know you officially. It's a pleasure to meet you." Zhuang Xuteng stretched out his hand, wanting to take the opportunity to shake it more.

Kelly slapped Zhuang Xuteng's hand with a smug smile. "It wasn't nice to meet you at first, but it's better now. What kind of car do you want, the Field Jeep I told you about last time?"

"I think you are an expert in vehicles, and smart people should listen to your opinions more."

"Okay, okay, thank you for trusting me so much." Kelly stood with her hands on her hips, her eyes fixed on the floor, and stood quietly in this position for a while, thinking.She clapped her hands together suddenly and said, "I figured it out, let's start like this!"

"Uh, what do you think? How to start?"

"This is what I think: if you talk about the budget, you may think that I will find a way to give you something you don't need; if I say that you can choose the configuration, you actually don't understand... The point is, I don't really want to Knowing exactly what you do—that's something that needs to be kept secret, right? If I knew more, would you kill me?"

"You're overthinking it, and it's not necessary. I'm not a killer, I just want a car to drive everyday and work. Bottom line, I don't want to have to endure a nearly two hour bus ride when I come here. "

"Oh, it's not a particularly professional car, then..."

Zhuang Xuteng waved his hands and said, "Kai Li, the two of us may be thinking too far. I have a solution: start with the basics first. For example, do you have a field jeep that can be driven?"

"No problem, Jeep parts are easy to deal with. There is a scrapyard three kilometers to the east. There are at least ten sets of good frames in it. The engine is even less of a problem."

"How much would a set like that cost?"

"Just give me five thousand euros." Kelly then added: "Jeep models use a lot of steel, and the reinforced frame and field axles are quite valuable. Although they were found from a scrap yard, they are not rubbish!"

"Okay, let's count five thousand first, so that we have a foundation, and then we can add on it." Zhuang Xuteng said, "Find me a piece of paper, and let's sit down and draw a picture. The degree of concern is written in my needs, and you prepare the modification plan on the right side of the picture. When this picture is completed, don’t we have the modification goal and contract?”

"You have a good idea!" Kelly snapped her fingers, and immediately said, "I'm going to find a piece of paper right now!"

So Zhuang Xuteng spent the next three hours very comfortably.He and Kelly sat side by side, discussing a car together.The conversation was always lively as the two chatted lightly, occasionally debating a part's priority a bit.

After many revisions, the drawing was already very scribbled, but both of them knew exactly what was written on it.Zhuang Xuteng's new car will be strong and fast, a big guy with a net weight of four tons.

It is said that the weight of a fully configured battlefield jeep is about six tons, and the extra weight is mainly various armor plates.There are not so many special armor plates in the scrapyard, and Zhuang Xuteng doesn't need to drive a small fortress.The reduced weight can make the car run more easily, but it needs the cooperation of other types of gearboxes. The powerful torque of the engine must be converted into a higher speed to reflect the speed.

Zhuang Xuteng always thought that the engine was the core of the vehicle, but after Kaili's explanation, he realized that it should actually be the transmission system.The development of the steam and electric hybrid system has encountered a bottleneck so far. It is difficult to continue to improve the capacity of continuous output or instantaneous output. The products of each company are very mature—that is, lack of room for improvement and comparative advantages—the only thing that still has a lot to offer. The big difference is the gearbox tuning.

Zhuang Xuteng couldn't fully understand what Kaili said, but he definitely understood what she meant.If the gearbox is changed to a truck, the handling will become more complicated, but the things that can be done are more suitable for civilian use.The gearbox affects the whole body. Higher speed requires better tires. There is always a trade-off between load-bearing, high speed and durability.

"Buck said that you have PCPD armored tires, which are actually the most suitable. They are also used on your heavy patrol vehicles. I can change the appearance so that they can't see it, and you can drive on the street with confidence." Kay Li asked them, "Are those tires still there?"

"I'll find a way." Zhuang Xuteng could only answer like this.

"Okay, I'll use the other wheels first. Although you can drive it too, if you don't want to change the tires often, you'd better find a higher-grade product. The doors and windows can be saved, but the wheels can't." Kelly finally made up her mind, Said: "Except for the tires, fourteen thousand and three."

"Just follow this. How long will it take?"

"I have to prepare the parts. If these are still there, I will fix them for you within five days. Uh, if you have nothing to do, you can wait for me here for a while, and I will check them out. As long as these key parts are in place, other Absolutely no problem. I'll be back in two hours." Kelly thought for a while and said, "There's a bar in town, you can go there and have a rest."

"I'll just stay here, it's quiet here." Zhuang Xuteng said, "Do you want to give you a deposit?"

"You can give it to Buck, and you can do it first. I'll leave now, go back early!" Kelly stood up and shouted to Buck who was lying on the counter in a daze: "Take him five thousand, and I'll go to the warehouse now , look at the store! Don’t you know how to pour us a glass of water? You are too lazy!”

"I just don't want to disturb you." Buck shrugged and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Brother Naike when you leave."

Kelly hummed, but judging from her expression, she still didn't quite believe it.She walked out of the office, pushed out a three-wheeled motorcycle with a side-mounted bucket from the corner, electric start and crank handle pressurization, and drove off in a short while.

"The so-called warehouse is a scrap yard." Buck said: "It used to be our family's tomato garden, but later it was not allowed to be opened, and it was used to pile up metal garbage. There are mainly scrap cars, and there are also some old appliances."

"Why don't you step aside?"

Buck brought Zhuang Xuteng a glass of water, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "I was not born at that time, so I'm not sure about the specific situation. My sister said that it should be related to the gang. They wanted a place to pile up recycled items. Our family was unlucky. Then the The gang is gone, but the scrapyard remains, and it has become a scar in Hongxiu City. There will still be scrapped cars coming in, and this is the only way to go over time."

"So you opened a garage?"

"I can't grow tomatoes, I don't want to work in a factory, and I can't do anything but fix cars," Buck said, "My sister can farm—she seems to be good at everything, including repairing cars. By the way, you like my sister, don't you?"

"I think she's beautiful."

"You probably need to get your eyes checked."

Zhuang Xuteng's face darkened immediately, and he said, "If you say this again, it's not just your eyes that you need to be treated. We have armored tires, who else did you tell?"

"I just told my sister, there is no one else. I'm also afraid... If there are still people alive in the Fire Tower Gang, what should I do if they find me after hearing it? And PCPD, I don't want to be found by them either."

"Well, I hope you will keep this in mind." Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said, "I know too well that even a big mouth will not end well."
