Chapter 120 Sudden Change
"Oh?"
Chen Fan looked at Hong Chengdong, who had already widened his eyes, with a half-smile: "Brother Dong, when are you going to fulfill your promise just now?"
As he spoke, he gently weighed the cubic fusion battery that was as big as an adult's palm.
Hong Chengdong's face changed, and he no longer had the attitude he had a few minutes ago.
"Dongzi!"
"Just call me Dongzi!"
An extremely flattering smile quickly appeared on his face, and he nodded and looked at Chen Fan and Yisha and Gao Yuan behind him: "I am just a rough man, and what I said before was all bullshit."
"You are a great man and don't remember the mistakes of a villain. Just treat me as a fart."
As soon as the voice fell, a very weak and suppressed sneer came from behind Chen Fan.
Hong Chengdong was stunned for a moment, and then looked in the direction of the laughter with some surprise.
He was so angry before that he didn't notice anything unusual for a while.
Now, after a careful observation, he noticed some clues.
Although the black robe was quite wide and well concealed the figure of the person inside, the obviously short height and the soft laughter all proved that there was a woman under the black robe.
When Hong Chengdong realized this, the surprise and fear in the depths of his eyes became even more intense.
Being able to lead a weak female member to walk on the ground... the strength of this group of people should not be underestimated!
Hong Chengdong did not show any abnormality on his face, and still maintained a flattering smile.
Chen Fan, on the other hand, looked back helplessly at Isa, whose figure was hidden by the black robe, and then coughed lightly.
"Isa, pay attention to your image, the person is still here."
Hong Chengdong, who has been a salvager for more than ten years, has no psychological burden in this regard.
Compared with fusion batteries, what are these few insignificant laughs? What
's more, salvagers have no status in the underground city - if there is no way out, no one is willing to risk their lives to work on the surface!
"Sorry, Mr. Chen Fan."
The laughter quickly dissipated, and the black hood moved up and down: "I lost my composure."
Mr.?
Hong Chengdong was a little surprised by this title.
He cast his eyes on the strong man who had remained silent and looked quite honest.
Like Chen Fan, the strong man was also wearing clothes with exquisite workmanship. You couldn't tell anything from the clothes alone.
But with the experience of crawling in the underground city for the past ten years, Hong Chengdong saw the deep respect and trust hidden in the eyes of the strong man.
After realizing this, Hong Chengdong looked at Chen Fan with more surprise.
Originally, he thought that the mysterious woman in black robe had the highest status among the three people, and Chen Fan was just a negotiator who was pushed forward.
But now it seems...
Chen Fan is probably the dominant leader among the three!
This is strange...
This is the first time he has seen a leader who does everything by himself...
Just as Hong Chengdong was muttering in his heart, Chen Fan's voice came again:
"Brother Dong, this fusion battery should be enough to pay the reward, right?"
"Enough! Enough!!"
Hong Chengdong nodded repeatedly, staring at the fusion battery in Chen Fan's hand that was tossed up and down, and his heart was shaking up and down.
Not only him, but also the relatively younger young people behind him cast extremely hot and frightened eyes at the fusion battery!
This is a fusion battery!
Can such a precious thing be treated so casually! !
For a while, these young people who traveled back and forth between the underground city and the surface all year round didn't know how to evaluate Chen Fan's behavior.
As for Chen Fan...
At this time, he naturally had no feeling for the fusion battery in his hand.
Just a few days ago, he had grabbed the antimatter battery with his own hands!
What is a mere fusion battery?
Therefore, with the information gap between the two sides, the atmosphere became more and more weird - Hong Chengdong's face had a few more wrinkles, and his actions of leading the way became more respectful.
Under the leadership of Hong Chengdong, Chen Fan and the other two soon arrived in front of the hidden underground city passage.
Chen Fan silently watched Hong Chengdong lift a wooden board covered with a lot of grass and dead branches and leaves, and issued an order to Yi in his heart: "Increase the frequency and power of the basic scan, and start drawing the channel map at the same time."
[Received. ]
Yi responded to Chen Fan's request with a brief sentence.
"Sir Chen Fan, our passage is a bit simple, please don't dislike it."
Hong Chengdong's voice came from the passage.
In order to prove to Chen Fan that the passage was safe, he was naturally the first to get into it.
Seeing the prototype of the holographic map beginning to appear in the holographic interface in front of him, Chen Fan calmed down, squatted down and jumped into this seemingly narrow pit.
Yisha and Gao Yuan naturally followed him and jumped into it without hesitation.
Puff, puff...
With the cushioning of the grass mat at the bottom, the noise of everyone jumping down was not loud.
Until Isa jumped down.
The wide black robe was slightly lifted in the air, revealing a small section of slender long legs with a metallic luster and the equally exquisite clothes she was wearing.
The next second.
Boom!!!
A dull falling sound sounded in the pit, and a big hole was suddenly smashed in the thick straw mat!
Thick dust rose instantly, and the passage suddenly became gray.
"Ahem..."
Hong Chengdong coughed and cast a horrified look at the straw mat.
Looking at Isa who was kicking a straw pit nonchalantly, Hong Chengdong's eyes twitched several times.
He was wrong again.
This seemingly petite and weak woman turned out to be a real heavyweight! !
Although he was extremely confused, Hong Chengdong did not ask, but just suppressed his doubts in his heart.
...
When the dust cleared, Chen Fan began to carefully look at this unfamiliar underground passage.
Unlike the narrow pit outside, the inside of the passage was not narrow, and even seemed a bit spacious.
A large amount of concrete and wood materials were combined to form the beams and walls supporting the passage.
Dark black wires stretched from the depths of the passage and finally stopped beside the pit.
Wires with thinner diameters were separated from this relatively thick main wire and stretched along the surrounding wooden frames to the wooden ceiling above the head.
Some dim electric lights were hung on the wooden ceiling, providing the only light for this underground passage.
Next to the electric lights, there was an independent dark cable of unknown purpose extending from the depths of the passage.
On the right side of the passage, a gap large enough for a normal adult to bend in and out appeared on the wall of the passage. Next to the gap, a large amount of earth and stone fragments and wood chips were scattered on the ground.
Chen Fan's heart moved slightly. That should be the tunnel dug by the members of the resistance!
In the distance, sections of devices resembling railway tracks were laid on the ground, and a huge rectangular truck was quietly parked on the railway tracks.
Obviously, this is the means of transportation for the salvagers to travel between the underground city and the surface.
Farther away, the flat passage began to slowly descend at a certain angle and eventually disappeared at the end of the sight.
It was like an old-fashioned mine cave!
Looking at the structure of the passage in front of him, an idea flashed through Chen Fan's mind.
"Please follow me."
Hong Chengdong called out to Chen Fan and took the lead to walk towards the device that looked like a truck bucket in the distance.
Under Chen Fan's gaze, he supported his hands on the truck bucket and turned over to enter the truck bucket.
How should this thing work?
Chen Fan walked towards the truck bucket-type mine car, and a thought flashed through his mind: It can't be a free slide without power, right? It wasn't
until he saw Hong Chengdong grunting and taking out a long iron rod from the truck bucket and placing it on the dark cable above his head that Chen Fan's confusion was instantly dispelled.
It turned out to be a simplified version of a tram!
Watching young men passing by and turning over to enter the mine car one after another, Chen Fan naturally didn't wait any longer and also learned the movements of these salvage people and turned into it.
Looking at Isa approaching the mine cart, Hong Chengdong pursed his lips and said, "Does this person... need my help?"
The scene of the crash to the ground was still vivid in his mind. Knowing Isa's strange weight, Hong Chengdong asked softly.
"No, no."
Chen Fan, who understood Hong Chengdong's meaning, waved his hand cheerfully, "Let her do it herself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hong Chengdong saw two slender arms stretching out from under the black robe and gently resting on the cart.
Under the dim light, Hong Chengdong saw clearly that the two arms were shining with a silver-white metallic luster, and a large number of mysterious patterns were engraved on the surface. Not only that, he also saw a large number of sophisticated mechanical components on the arms and fingers!
But there was no trace of flesh and blood!
"This, this is..."
Hong Chengdong's originally confused face suddenly showed horror!
"Intelligent, intelligent machinery!!!"
Along with Hong Chengdong's exclamation, a faint humming sound of mechanical operation sounded, and Isa's heavy body had already flipped into the truck bed with ease.
Bang!
The heavy impact and strong vibration came at the same time, making Hong Chengdong's exclamation tremble a little.
The moment the exclamation fell and Isa flipped into the truck bed, the whole car was in an uproar!
While Hong Chengdong retreated again and again, the young men behind him also raised their old-fashioned gunpowder firearms with nervous expressions.
The moment the muzzle was raised, a blue light automatically unfolded in front of Chen Fan and formed a semi-arc barrier like an eggshell.
This scene further stimulated Hong Chengdong, who was already a little excited.
"Who are you?!"
He picked up an old-fashioned rifle placed beside him, pulled the bolt, and shouted sternly.
His expression was ferocious, but Chen Fan still saw the hidden fear deep in his eyes.
[Warning! 】
【The opponent's vital signs are detected to be in a critical state, and an attack may be launched at any time. The machine is ready for defense and counterattack. 】
Realizing that the outline of PW-1 has emerged on his right hand, Chen Fan silently took a half step forward and blocked Gao Yuan, who was tense and a little excited, and Isa, who was a little overwhelmed, behind him.
