The sweeping dust sky enveloped everything in the bad land. The dense sand particles moved irregularly in the air and crackled against the metal structure of the gas station, making a rapid sound.
The Bakker family's off-road vehicles were arranged in a semi-encircling formation, tightly pressed against the entrance of the gas station.
Strong spikes were lowered under each off-road vehicle to secure the body and prevent it from being blown away by strong winds.
Fine sand flew in the air, hitting the windows and metal structure of the vehicle.
Looking out the car window, I can only see a chaotic and dark yellow scene outside.
The visibility of the outside world has been greatly reduced, and the haze composed of sand is deep and dark, making people feel a little uncomfortable.
When they learned that the sandstorm was about to hit, the Bakker family, under the instruction of their leader, allowed all the more seriously injured clan members to enter the safer and spacious gas station staff room first.
In addition, one uninjured tribesman was left behind to take care of the wounded.
As for the remaining people who were not too seriously injured and were jumping around, they could only be forced into the off-road vehicle.
The wall building with the gas station blocked part of the sandstorm, and a few off-road vehicles had no problem getting through the sandstorm.
The wanderers wandering in the desert badlands have rich experience in how to survive sandstorms safely.
In order to show his "tough guy" style, the leader of the Bakker family finally chose to sit in the car.
And the vehicle he chose happened to be V's small red and gray off-road vehicle.
In order to get acquainted with V as soon as possible, Lin Mo also chose this car as his "safe haven".
Mitch also sat in because he wanted to chat.
So, in the end, with V looking puzzled and confused, four people sat in the small off-road vehicle. She really couldn't understand when her little broken vehicle became so popular?
Although the outside of the vehicle was chaotic, like the beginning of the world, the inside of the vehicle was unusually harmonious and quiet.
"I just observed it for a while. This sandstorm shouldn't last long. If my prediction is right, we can even catch up with the food in the camp."
Mitch was lying on his back relaxedly on the worn-out seat in the back seat. The sound of sand and dust hitting the glass window sounded to him. In fact, it was no different from the sound of falling rain. There was a different kind of " "Quiet and tranquil" feeling.
】
V rested his elbow on the car door, held his chin, and looked out the car window with distant eyes, the expression on his face gradually became calmer.
By observing the image of Mohu reflected on the car window glass, Lin Mo, who was also sitting in the back seat, peeked at the reflection of V's face on the glass. His mood became more and more satisfied as he looked at it. There was a kind of child of his own. The joy of looking good.
Neither of them had any intention of talking to Mitch, but fortunately there was also a man in the car who was uncomfortable if he didn't speak.
The leader of the Bakker family sighed, with a rather depressed look on his face:
"You are fine and can return to your tribe safely and on time. But we are different. We may have to stay in Night City for a day or two after this. At least we need to let the injured brothers and sisters recover from their wounds. Thinking about running out of the southern border wall and finally returning to our family."
Mitch also showed appropriate depression and said regretfully:
"After all, none of us expected that there would be such a group of bastards wandering around here. Before the transaction, our Adecado family had already figured out the situation nearby, but an accident still happened. ...If my guess is correct, these guys are probably here specifically to target you, but we are also responsible for this, Mr. Marr."
The leader of the Bakker family, who was also Mal, waved his hand and said in an indifferent tone:
"I don't blame you. With such a large number of gangsters and their vehicle markings, I can basically conclude that they are coming for us...the purpose is to kill us."
"Huh? Aren't your Bakker family in the bad land in the south? There is a border wall between you and Night City. How could Luandao come here?" Mitch was greatly surprised.
"It's not the fault of the cowards in the family!" Mal suddenly roared in a low voice, which seemed to bring back bad memories:
"Those conservative guys who want to compromise, want to abandon the family heritage and name, and plan to join the Snake State, as if they can live a good life this way, bah, they are a bunch of cowards, if Selita's mother is still here If so, I have to beat these cowards to death with crutches!"
At this point, his mood became obviously worse, and he hammered the car door with his hand, as if this could vent his inner negative emotions.
"This is my car. If you want to go crazy, go outside..." V glanced at him with cold eyes and said in a dissatisfied tone.
Mal turned his head, glanced at V, and asked as if seeking approval:
"V, what do you think? Do you think joining the Snake Nation would be a good idea?"
"If I thought this was a good idea, then none of us would come with you to do this deal." V sighed, too lazy to continue thinking about his head, and instead looked at the two people in the back seat. outsider.
"Sorry, this is some private matter of our family, but it is not a big deal. After all, these news should have spread around a long time ago. You should also know that since the death of Serita's mother, the leaders of our family have changed several times, right? .”
Lin Mo and Mi Qi looked at each other. After all, it was a private matter in other people's family, and it was not easy for them to intervene.
But now from V's tone, it seems that she is willing to reveal some details to them?
"Sister V, are you willing to tell us?" Lin Mo, who wanted to get closer, naturally did not miss this opportunity. He even called V "sister" in terms of address.
v rubbed his forehead, seeming to think about how to say it.
Finally, she stopped thinking and began to slowly tell the current situation of the Bakker family.
Lin Mo and Mitch listened patiently and silently took notes in their hearts.
Overall, the development of things is not complicated.
The mother, who had the greatest say and highest authority, passed away, and the Bakker family lost the leader who could take charge of the overall situation. The family has been in a state of decline over the years.
They were traveling in various states at the time. A few days ago, they accidentally heard that a nuclear explosion had occurred near Night City. At that time, they were planning to find another place to station. After hearing the news, the family patriarch and leader immediately decided to go to Night City. The city is looking for opportunities for family development.
After all, if a nuclear explosion happened outside the city and destroyed a town, then this would undoubtedly be an opportunity for the homeless people.
——Job opportunities to assist in the “redevelopment and development” of cities and towns.
As a result, when they rushed here in a hurry, the Bucker family wanderers were shocked to find:
Not only did they not have even the slightest chance here, but they also had conflicts with the local Knife Club, which resulted in the loss of a lot of resources and manpower.
However, the Snake Nation, one of the seven homeless groups across the United States, offered an olive branch to their family at this time, saying that they were willing to accept everyone in their family and become a part of the Snake Nation.
Compared with ordinary wanderer families, the Snake State, known as the wanderer family, is more like a huge corporate group, with their influence spread all over the United States.
Regarding this invitation, some people in the family did not want to continue to suffer and chose to compromise; some people felt that once they joined the Snake State, the family would come to an end and rejected the proposal.
To this day, the two factions of the family continue to quarrel.
However, the bandits of the Luan Dao Society didn't care what they were doing, and kept sending people to invade their camp. The family's weapon reserves were also continuously consumed in the past few days.
And this is exactly the origin of today's transaction.
