Chapter 384 Encounter on Route 375

The two-day trek was still quite grueling for Bai Zhongqi, but the Chancellor, who was fond of luxury, did not really focus on hurrying. He had set the auto-cruise program for the Agent, and he himself began to taste various desserts on the Sacred Falcon with Zero.

Although there were still a lot of animals on the grassland, many were creatures that did not exist on Earth. Dinosaurs that hopped like kangaroos in groups of twos and threes, huge starfish-like creatures that occasionally surfaced in the water, these were all native to Taoran Star, and they looked quite exotic.

However, Bai Zhongqi had already seen many planets, so he was somewhat used to these strange creatures by now, and he had no desire to explore these ordinary creatures.

On the second day, the caravan encountered something interesting.

Several disgustingly looking "people" squatted on the ground, tearing apart the corpse of a dead creature with a deer's head and a cow's body without any manners.

The sound of the caravan moving was obviously noticed by them, but these guys had no intention of moving and were focused on eating the meat raw.

Bu glanced over there and said to Bai Zhongqi, "A group of Stiff Ghosts."

Bai Zhongqi looked at those who somewhat resembled zombies, but were clearly not completely devoid of reason, and he became a bit interested.

"The appetite of Stiff Ghosts is very strong, and they only do not attack humans when they are in the process of feeding," Bu explained.

"Don't you exterminate them?" Bai Zhongqi asked.

Bu shook his head and said, "Although Stiff Ghosts attack humans and feed on them, they still discern which humans can be their prey, and they won't provoke those they cannot afford to provoke. Moreover, the presence of a group of Stiff Ghosts suggests there may be more nearby. If we fight and kill some Stiff Ghosts, it might draw more from nearby, and that would be even more troublesome."

Bu continued, "Of course, this doesn't mean we are completely safe from these disgusting creatures. If they cause trouble, we will make them die miserably."

Bai Zhongqi pulled his hood forward, "To me, they are no different from the dead bodies they feast on."

Bai Zhongqi nodded, saying, "Alright, regardless of their origins, they've chosen us as their targets now."

The convoy slowly stopped before the roadblock, and the hunters from Shelter 101 readied their rifles from their motorcycles, while others on the two SUVs aimed their roof-mounted machine guns at these bandits. However, the bandits were obviously prepared, having set up solid barricades on both sides, and even had recoilless guns positioned within these barricades.

"Damn, these people even have cannons," Bu muttered.

For any shelter, heavy artillery is extremely valuable. However, not all shelters have the technology to produce cannons, and even if they do, the materials required are scarce. Although some pre-nuclear war cannons still exist and are usable, each shelter still possesses very limited artillery.

The bald, short bandit leader, holding a megaphone, shouted to the people of the convoy, "Folks, sorry, but you'll have to pay a toll to pass through here."

Bang angrily said, "These bastards."

Bai Zhongqi signaled Bu to remain silent and rode his motorcycle to the front of the line. He raised his voice and called out, "If we don't pass through here, then we don't need to pay the toll. We will just turn around, goodbye."

As he turned the handlebar to leave, the bald, short bandit leader was stunned, having never expected that they might just not pass through, wondering how to change his demand for a toll.

The bandit leader became frantic, lifted his gun, and fired a shot into the air, shouting, "Don't go, you have to pay if you're here."

Bai Zhongqi responded, "You said the toll was for passing through, and now you want money even if we don't pass?"

The bandit leader stammered, "That's right, if we want money, you have to give it."

Bai Zhongqi laughed heartily and asked, "If I want your life, would you give it?"
