Chapter 172 Baby Bus Looks So Ferocious?
"What?! 2000?! Our car was hit like this, who are we supposed to get compensation from?"
"It's only natural for them to be fined iron blocks by the officials, so why are they asking us for some too?"
The Man with the Baseball Cap was fuming with rage!
The Ponytail Woman leaned over to take a look, her expression also very ugly: "Exactly! The rear of our car is gone. How much will it cost to fix? Isn't this just bullying honest people!"
"Hmph, they get fined, and then make us pay? What kind of logic is that?"
A Rong stepped out from the driver's seat: "Logic? Their car has tusks on the front and spikes on the back. What damn logic are you talking about?"
The Ponytail Woman looked at the Man with the Baseball Cap: "How many iron blocks do we have?"
The Man with the Baseball Cap's face darkened: "Including the 500 units we just got as compensation, it's exactly 2000 units in total..."
"Damn it! Are they trying to leave us to fend for ourselves? I don't agree!"
The Ponytail Woman was the first to object!
But the Man with the Baseball Cap suddenly spoke up: "Wait a minute, this signature, Chen Yu... what a familiar name..."
A Rong's expression changed: "What did you say? What's the signature?!"
The Man with the Baseball Cap repeated: "District 691, Chen Yu... what's wrong? Does it sound familiar to you too?"
The Ponytail Woman was also stunned for a moment: "Have we seen it before?"
A deathly silence fell over the car. Everyone was trying to remember. The rain pattered loudly, and wind whistled through the holes.
The Skinny Tall Guy suddenly slapped his thigh: "Holy crap! I remember! The leaderboard! It's the Highway Leaderboard!"
"Quick! Check the leaderboard! This name is way too familiar!"
"I'm looking... but there are too many people. Where should I start?"
"That name definitely isn't near the back. Let's start from 5000 and look forward?"
A Rong hurriedly said: "Look at those tusks. Is that a car ranked 5000? I think it's at least top 1000!"
The Ponytail Woman slapped the seat in frustration: "Then let's split it up! A Rong, you look from 3000 to 2000. Skinny Tall Guy, you look from 2000 to 1000. I'll look from 1000 to 500. Captain, you look at the very front!"
Several people frantically started scrolling through the leaderboard.
A Rong stared at the interface, his finger quickly swiping down. Nothing.
The Skinny Tall Guy also finished looking and shook his head.
The Ponytail Woman finished as well, also shaking her head.
"Uh... nothing?"
Everyone looked at the Man with the Baseball Cap.
The Man with the Baseball Cap didn't say anything. He stared at the leaderboard interface, his face pale.
"Ba..."
"Ba..."
The Ponytail Woman's face flushed, and she glared at him: "Captain! What are you saying! What time do you think it is?!"
The Man with the Baseball Cap looked up, his face extremely pale, looking like he had seen a ghost.
"No, I mean, tenth on the Highway Leaderboard, Baby Bus..."
"Buzz!!!"
In an instant, everyone felt as if something had exploded in their heads.
The cabin was so quiet that only the sound of rain could be heard...
All their memories came flooding back. The reason they were familiar with the name Chen Yu was because on the first day the Highway Leaderboard was released, the Baby Bus had received an explosive amount of attention.
Just now, no one had considered that the opponent was from the top 1000...
Oh no, it's the top 10!
The Ponytail Woman's mouth twitched: "Are you kidding me? Your 'Baby Bus' looks this ferocious, with spikes and tusks, and he's even brutal enough to want to kill us?!"
No one answered her.
Everyone fell into the same kind of sorrow.
The Skinny Tall Guy had a long face: "Our luck is really something, to actually block the path of the tenth on the leaderboard?"
The Man with the Baseball Cap suddenly laughed, a sound more unpleasant than crying.
He was even more ridiculous, actually showing off his rank of 20,000 in front of the tenth on the leaderboard... he was truly like a clown possessed...
"Enough, the 2000 iron blocks must be handed over!"
The Man with the Baseball Cap spoke directly: "Hand over all the precious materials you have on you to me. I'll give them to Chen Yu together."
"Huh?"
The Ponytail Woman was stunned for a moment: "Why? If we have to give the 2000 iron blocks, then so be it, but why give our materials too?"
Others chimed in as well:
"Exactly, Boss. We can't just take this lying down, can we?"
"Isn't it enough if we just pool the iron blocks together and hand them over?"
"Yeah, do we really have to give him the rare materials in our backpacks too?"
The Man with the Baseball Cap slapped the note onto the seat, his voice harsh and urgent.
"You'll only give him as much as he asked for?"
"Are you really not afraid of that car ramming into us?"
"That's tenth on the Highway Leaderboard! Has your brain turned into soy sauce?!"
A Rong reluctantly pulled out two cans of beer, his hand gripping the cans tightly before finally placing them on the floor: "I... I only have these two cans left. I've been saving them."
The Man with the Baseball Cap collected the beer and looked at the others: "What about yours!"
The Skinny Tall Guy hesitated for a long time before fishing out half a pack of cigarettes.
The other passengers also brought out their treasured materials.
...
...
[Ding!]
[Received a trade request]
[Vehicle: jubiao bus (car owner: Zhao Long) has initiated a trade with you]
[Trade Items: Iron Block x2000 units, Beer x10, Cigarette x9 packs, Dried Chili Peppers x10 strings, Common Quality Baijiu x2 bottles, Rule Seaweed Remains x10 meters]
[Requested Items: None]
[Message: Chen Yu, I was wrong, truly wrong. I shouldn't have been possessed just now. These are all our rare materials. Please, leave us a way to survive!]
[Confirm?]
Chen Yu stared at the list of items. Although there weren't many materials on the list, they were indeed rare. On this point, the group hadn't tried to pull any tricks.
Alcohol and cigarettes were truly hard currency in the apocalypse.
Since they were able to repent and return to the right path, Chen Yu was happy to let it go.
After all, inside their Vehicle, they were currently invincible.
As long as they didn't come out,
Not only would his alloy tusks be unable to touch them, but they would also cause him to suffer huge losses.
Chen Yu had only been bluffing just now.
But...
If Chen Yu really wanted to force them to stop or even find a way to kill them, it wouldn't be difficult.
[Confirm]
[Trade completed]
[Materials have been stored in your personal backpack]
Chen Yu closed the interface and stepped on the accelerator.
The Baby Bus drove forward unhurriedly through the torrential rain.
The women had long been dumbfounded.
"Brother Yu! Our car is way too domineering! Where did those tusks come from?!"
"When we hit them just now, I was stunned. We pierced right through the back of their car!"
"I didn't even dare to look. Our car is too terrifying. How is this even a Baby Bus anymore..."
Wang Mengmeng, Yang Kexin, and Deng Yuxin all exclaimed with emotion.
Li Mengyao snorted coldly: "It's really satisfying. They blocked us the whole way; they should be taught a lesson to see if they still dare to bully novice drivers."
Zhang Wanyue suddenly asked: "Chen Yu, after our note was delivered, did they hand over the materials?"
While driving, Chen Yu explained: "Yeah, besides the 2000 units of iron blocks, there were also some cigarettes and alcohol."
Zhang Wanyue was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "At least they're sensible."
Wang Mengmeng looked indignant: "Just that much? If you ask me, we should have rammed them again to let them..."
"That's enough, Mengmeng."
Li Mengyao couldn't stand it anymore and reached out to pull her back into her seat.
"What else do you want? Do you have to strip them down to their underwear?"
Wang Mengmeng was still muttering: "It's what they deserve. Did they think about this when they were blocking people earlier?"
Chen Yu continued driving. The torrential rain was still falling. The specially made wipers, upgraded to level 2, were extremely effective, wiping the windshield clean so the road ahead was perfectly clear.
The tattered medium-sized bus ahead was leaning by the roadside, the hole in its rear frantically absorbing rainwater.
Just as Chen Yu's Baby Bus was about to overtake the jubiao bus...
