第一百一十三章 荒车大货队 -5
A Li’s model connected with the distant figure. Through the telepathic link, the true leader of the Wasteland Wagon Cargo Fleet calmly surveyed YangZicang’s form, deeply imprinting the young man’s image in his mind.
阿力的模型与远方之人链接，心灵感应中的荒车大货队真正的队长，静静扫过杨子藏的身影，深深将青年的形象映入脑海。
{Come back, he who walks often by the river will inevitably get wet shoes. This time, you’ve run into someone you shouldn’t mess with.}
{回来吧，常在河别走，哪有不湿鞋的。这次你们是遇到了不该惹的人。}
Suddenly, the figure in the sensing vision froze.
忽然，感应画面中那人目光一凝。
{Watch out. No, Second Brother, farewell forever.}
{小心。不，老二，永别了。}
“What!”
“什么！”
Boom!
轰隆！
A burst of flames exploded, smoke and dust rising over the dark land. Several men behind A Li were instantly engulfed in flames, screaming as they rolled on the ground.
一道火光炸开，黑暗的大地上爆气烟尘，阿力后方几人瞬间被烈焰附着，惨叫着在地上乱滚。
Yang Zicang’s figure vanished in the wind, reappearing before A Li.
杨子藏身影消失在风中，再次出现时，已经来到了阿力前方。
“Secret technique? Why would someone like you appear here!”
“秘技？你这样的人为什么会出现在这里！”
His model materialized.
他的模型展现。
This man’s body exploded with countless glass shards, shooting toward Yang Zicang ahead like a burst.
这人身体爆发出无数玻璃碎片，如同炸开般射向前方的杨子藏。
Clang clank clang!
乒铃磅砰！
The glass hurled over without cost, instantly filling the space in front of Yang Zicang with layers of tempered, ordinary, thin, thick, frosted, jade-green, or tea-colored glass fragments.
玻璃如同不要钱似的砸了过去，瞬间杨子藏身前空间就被重重叠叠的各种钢化的、普通的，薄的、厚的，磨砂的、翡绿或茶色的玻璃碎片所填满。
Rumble, rumble! The time-series-attached glass exploded, sending countless particles flying and dancing.
轰隆隆！附带时序的玻璃炸开成，无数微粒激射飞舞。
[Scheduling!]
[调度！]
[Locus presentation, Hundreds Tens and Ones!]
[格位展现，个十百！]
[999 units.]
[999位。]
Whisper whisper whisper!
簌簌簌簌！
The train crashed in, encapsulating Yang Zicang within its body, instantly vanishing from his original spot into thin air.
列车撞来讲杨子藏囊括入体内，瞬间化为风消失在原地。
The moment he was swallowed by the train, countless glass shards surged in, pitter-pattering against the inside of the carriage.
被列车一口吞入腹中的瞬间，无数玻璃碎片也冲撞进来，噼里啪啦打在车厢内。
[I offset 1238N]
[我抵消了1238N]
“So it’s real glass, your ability is to contain them?”
“原来是真的玻璃，你的能力是收容它们吗？”
Yang Zicang appeared behind the burst of countless glass shards.
杨子藏出现在爆开的无数玻璃碎片之后。
“Ha, compared to a friend of mine, your glass might only make you a supplier of construction materials.”
“呵，比我某个朋友的能力，你的玻璃或许只能让你成为个建筑材料的供应商。”
A Li trembled in shock; the tons of glass he had shot had only offset over a thousand units of time series.
阿力惊惧，自己射出的成吨玻璃竟然只抵消了一千多时序。
Countless times before, disguised as a strongman, he had ambushed who knows how many people with this move, yet today his opponent showed no fear at all toward his tons of temporal glass shards.
曾经无数次，伪装为大力士的自己靠着这招偷袭了不知多少人，可今天对方竟完全不惧怕自己的成吨时序玻璃渣。
A voice of comfort rang in his heart.
心中响起了安慰声。
{Little brother, I will ask Nether Shadow to avenge you.}
{老二，我会请冥影为你报仇。}
A Li first felt rage, then a look of defeat crept across his face.
阿力先是愤怒，随后脸上露出颓败之色。
“Cut the crap. If you’re going to kill me, just do it. I’ve long expected this day.”
“废话少说，要杀要刮就来吧，这一天我早就想到了。”
He knew perfectly well that he could never gain the investment of the Wasteland Vehicle Master, and with death imminent, he shouted these words before swinging his hammer fiercely toward him.
自己根本不可能获得荒车之主的投资，他心知死期已至，口中喊出这话后，双手握锤向着他狠狠砸来。
The White Shadow Thought-Dragon manifested beside Itsuki the next day; with a single charge, A Li’s semi-transparent thought-form body was forcibly yanked out from his chest, dangling in the air. The man’s body crashed heavily to the ground. Itsuki Zang shook his figure slightly, kicked and broke the arms wielding the weapon, which was then propelled by an invisible force, arcing in a strange trajectory to land steadily in the young man’s hand.
白影念龙出现在次日身出现，一撞之下，阿力的半透明念力体被吊着从胸前离体冲出。男人的身体重重摔下，杨子藏身影一晃，一脚踢断了握住武器的双臂，武器被无形力量催动，划出诡异弧线稳稳落在青年手上。
[I have obtained a new Chrono Weapon.]
[我获得了新的时序战器。]
Sensing it, this was a Chrono Weapon with 45N per strike.
感受了下，这是每击45N的时序战器。
“What is the Wasteland Vehicle?”
“荒车是什么？”
Kuramoto-zō turned his head to look at the suspended thought-form body, which still had some consciousness left—it seemed the man had strong mental fortitude.
杨子藏转头看向被吊住的念力体，他此刻还略有神智，看来精神力不错。
{I… don’t know. You’re going to die… whoever kills me… his entire family will die.}
{我，不知道。你会死…杀我者…死全家。}
“Where is your headquarters?”
“你们的总部在哪里。”
{Your entire family…}
{你全家…}
Kuramoto-zō wanted to question the man for more information, but feeling the intense rancor directed at himself, he ignored all subsequent inquiries and continued only his curses.
杨子藏还想询问这人更多的信息，但他对自己拥有满腔怒意，后面的问题全都无视，只是诅咒着自己。
“A lot of hostility. Forget it. Goodbye.”
“怨气很大，算了，再见吧。”
Waving his hand, the White Shadow Thought-Dragon delightedly soared into the sky then plunged straight down, devouring its psi-body before charging towards the others fleeing in panic.
挥了挥手，白影念龙欣喜地腾飞上天又直冲而下，将其念力体吞噬后冲向其它慌乱逃窜之人。
Yang Zicang looked towards the other end of the battlefield. Xu Xiuchuan and Zuo Feixian, like hounds loose in a chicken coop, were chasing behind the chaotic crowd. He wondered if they had managed to seize any Chrono investments.
杨子藏看向战场另一端，徐秀川和左非闲两人如进入鸡圈的猎狗般，在混乱的人群身后追赶，也不知他们有没有缴获到时序投资。
As for Luo Bin, he wielded a golden sword glowing with red light, swiftly chasing down the panicked runners from the side.
至于洛宾则挥舞着冒着红光的金色长剑，快速追击在到处逃跑的人身侧。
Each of Luo Bin’s strikes appeared ordinary, yet every swing was lethal. Seeming boisterous and loud, his actions were actually ruthless and efficient, more refined than the techniques Yang Zicang had honed through beast combat. Yang Zicang had already confirmed this guy was no ordinary badge-wearing uncle.
洛宾的每一击都显得很是普通，但却剑剑致命，看似大呼小叫，实则狠辣干练，比自己跟野兽搏斗而练出的招式更高效，杨子藏已经确认，这家伙根本不是普通的帽子叔叔。
“Ah, die!”
“啊，死吧！”
One deputy-level figure, driven mad by the pursuit and knowing he couldn’t shake this tail, spun around with a roar, unfolding his model and charging at Luo Bin.
一位被撵得火大的副队级别的人物自知甩不掉这个尾巴，转身怒吼着展开模型向洛宾冲去。
“Ha!”
“呵！”
Luo Bin ducked low, shoulder-charging the incoming man, sending him flying from the shoulder over and behind him. Luo Bin spun and stomped heavily down on the man’s abdomen.
洛宾身形一矮肩膀一撞，这冲过来的人直接被从肩膀顶飞到了身后，洛宾转身沉重的一脚踏在这人腹部。
Pinning him with one knee, he slashed horizontally across his neck.
他单膝压制住对方，横剑割抹了对方脖子。
“Not a bad haul, wipes out six thousand years of my Amplified Chrono. Too bad.”
“还挺肥，抵消我六千多年增幅时序，可惜。”
Luo Bin stood up, the figures around him already thinning.
洛宾站起身来，周围人影已经稀少。
He looked towards an empty stretch on the other side, where the young man stood casually, watching him from the darkness.
他看向另一端的真空地带，青年随意站立的身影矗立在黑夜中关注着自己。
“Heh heh.” Luo Bin scratched his head sheepishly towards that spot.
“嘿嘿。”洛宾不好意思的冲那边扣了扣脑袋。
After a pursuit, the caravan of large cargo carts was completely defeated, and forty or fifty people came before the young man, led by Song Zilin.
一番追击后，荒车大货队完败，四五十号人来到青年身前，领头的正是宋梓林。
He thudded down on one knee, holding up two low-level Chrono Weapons, and said, “Thank you, our savior.”
他噗通单膝跪下，举着两把低级时序战器道：“谢谢恩人。”
Seeing this, Yang Zicang was startled and said, “What are you doing? This isn’t ancient times. Get up.”
瞧见这动作，杨子藏吓了一跳：“你们这是干嘛，这又不是古代，快起来吧。”
The White Shadow Thought-Dragon vanished into the distance but instantly emerged halfway from the silhouette behind Yang Zicang, peering ahead.
白影念龙消失在远方，又瞬间自在杨子藏身后的背影中腾出半截身子，张望前方。
Here, no one can let their guard down.
在这里，任何人都不能不防。
Shed Master Song, dressed in worn-out clothes with a lean but spirited figure, stood up and cupped his fists, shouting, “Brother, if it weren’t for you today, we’d all be dead.”
衣衫陈旧，身体消瘦但精神奕奕的宋棚主起身抱拳吼道：“这位兄弟，今天若是没你，我们就死定了”
Another person behind him also shouted, “We’re all just nobodies with nothing to thank you with. This is our respect.”
他身后一人也吼道：“咱们都是烂命一条没什么可以感谢你的，这是我们的敬意。”
With that, the man tossed out a snatched low-level Chrono Weapon.
说罢此人丢出把抢来的低级时序战器。
“Brother, from now on, whatever you say goes. As for the others, I don’t care, but old Meng here will never say a word against it.”
“以后兄弟有任何吩咐，他们我不管，我老孟是绝对不会说半个不字。”
“Count me in too—Zhang Minhua.”
“还有我张民华。”
“And I, Li Haixuan!”
“我李海轩也是！”
The crowd buzzed with voices.
人群嚷起了一片。
Shed Master Song said, “Brother, I’m ready to return the Chrono Time you lent me. You can step back and clear it.”
宋棚主道：“兄弟，你准好我要还给你时序了，你可以离远点清空时序。”
“Just give me back the five thousand.”
“把那五千还我就行了。”
“Make sure to clear your Chrono Time! I’m returning more than just five thousand to you.”
“你千万清空时序啊，我要还给你不止五千。”
Luo Bin walked over and stood beside Yang Zicang.
洛宾走了过来，站在杨子藏身旁。
“This is everyone’s goodwill. Just accept it,” he urged on behalf of these tough guys.
“这是大伙儿的心意，你就领了吧。”他替这群汉子劝道。
Seeing the eager looks from everyone, Yang Zicang nodded: “Alright.”
看着众人迫切的眼神，杨子藏点点头：“好吧。”
[Song Zilin returned my 5000N financing and paid a dividend profit of 4500N. This really was a good investment, but it’s a shame there’s no daily summary here.]
[宋梓林归还我的5000N融资，并派返红利4500N。这真是笔不错的投资，可惜这里没有每日总结。]
Boppoli, on the other end of the Mental Link, even jumped up.
心灵链接另一端的波波利都跳了起来。
{We’re rich again tonight!}
{咱们今晚又发财了！}
{Haha, Boppoli is happy even earning an extra day’s worth.}
{哈哈，波波利哪怕多赚到一天都是开心的。}
Mori teased.
莫里嘲笑道。
Yang Zicang chuckled inwardly—although each rare skill book could sell for tens of thousands of Sequence units, for Boppoli, every sold book meant one fewer left.
杨子藏心中微微一笑，秘技虽然每本都能卖好几万时序，但对波波利来说，卖一本就少一本。
The more valuable the items, the more he felt like flesh was being cut from his own body.
那东西越是珍贵，他越是觉得在割自己肉。
Earning extra Sequence from other sources actually made him happier, even if it was just profit made by others.
能额外赚到别的时序，对他来说反而是更开心的，哪怕这只是自己赚到的。
On the other side, both Mori and Boppoli were already stunned, as chaos and bloody battles on the Distorted Frequency Plains were truly gruesome to witness.
而另一边的莫里和波波利两人早就心中惊异无比，失频之地上的混战真是血腥。
At that moment, Boppoli came to a full realization of just how “formidable” the “formidable big shot” Mori had mentioned actually was.
此刻的波波利才真正认识到莫里口中“认识了个厉害大神”的“厉害”到底厉害到了什么程度。
In chaotic battles without worrying about Sequence consumption, the White Shadow Thought-Dragon reigned with absolute suppression; until facing other Thought ability users, it was the battlefield dominator.
不用顾忌时序的混战中，白影念龙处于绝对碾压的状态，在遇到其它念能力者前，它便是战场的主宰。
Zuo, Xu, and Teacher Chen’s two party members walked over from among scattered corpses. “Haha, tonight we finally wiped out a menace for everyone.”
左、徐二人以及陈老师两人从遍地尸骸中穿了过来，“哈哈，今晚终于替大伙铲除了个祸害。”
“This is terrifying, Teacher—after all this time, your judgment has finally been spot-on. You sure picked a real boss.”
“太可怕了，老师啊，这么久你的眼光终于准了一次诶，认了个大佬。”
Little Liu behind tugged at his mentor’s sleeve, pointing at Yang Zicang with one hand, looking frightened as he spoke.
后方的小刘拽着自己导师的袖子，一只手指着杨子藏的身影，看似害怕的道。
Instructor Chen glanced speechlessly at his student, “Take your paws off me, you’re embarrassing.”
陈老师无语的瞥了眼自己的学生，“把你的爪子拿开，丢人现眼。”
A few weary figures appeared around them.
几道疲惫的人影出现在周围。
“Our benefactors.”
“几位恩人。”
“So many people died this time.”
“这次死了好多人。”
Yang Zicang looked over to see Ning Yang and his group of five standing hesitantly in the distance.
杨子藏看过去，宁洋五人期期艾艾的站在远处。
Shed Master Song and his men stared at them warily. Though the light was poor, he had seen them earlier in the desolate truck supply convoy.
宋棚主们警惕的盯着这几人，虽然光线不好，但他有看到这几人之前是在荒车大货队里。
“Bro-Brother Jiaz, and Master Zuo, you all… wuwuwu…”
“甲，甲子兄弟，还有左师父，你们…呜呜呜…”
Ning Yang tried to keep his composure at first, but as soon as he spoke, he broke down crying, his sobs growing louder and louder.
宁洋还想矜持下，结果一句话说出口就伤伤心心的哭了起来，越哭越大声。
“I thought I’d never see you all again, wuwuwu…”
“我还以为再也见不到你们了，呜呜呜…”
Yang Zicang shrugged helplessly.
杨子藏无奈耸耸肩。
“You bunch of idiots!”
“你们这群煞笔！”
Xu Xiuan strode over and let loose a barrage of scolding.
徐秀川上去就是一通大骂。
Having listened for a while, the dozens of people across them were astonished to realize that the Jiaz room group had actually come to rescue them, and that they were in their debt.
听了半晌，对面几十号人才惊讶的发现，甲子间几人竟然是来救他们的，原来自己还承了他们的情才对。
Only after this rebuke ended did the shocked Shed Master Song slowly walk over and hand the weapon to Zuo Feixian, who was beside Yang Zicang. The overjoyed man grabbed it and hugged it tightly.
等这通训斥结束后，心惊不已的宋棚主缓慢走了过来，将手上的武器递给杨子藏身旁的左非闲，这家伙大喜的一把抱在了怀里。
“Friends, stay here with us tonight. We’ll sort out these goods later, and Brother Jiaz, just tell us tomorrow where to deliver them, and we’ll take them there.”
“朋友们，今晚住咱们这儿吧。我们的人等下把这些货物捋一捋，明天甲子兄弟你说送到哪，我们就送到哪里去。”
“We’ll leave you half these goods and take the other half for ourselves.”
“这些货物你们留一半，我们拿走一半。”
Dozens of people understood that what Yang Zicang said was sincere—after all, he had come to rescue even those who had falsely accused him of theft. They were already quite at ease with the man before them.
几十人知道杨子藏说的不是违心话，毕竟连这种冤枉自己偷东西的人都能来救，他们对眼前之人已经放心得很。
Having learned the ins and outs from Ning Yang and his companions’ apologies, they harbored no doubt about Yang Zicang whatsoever.
他们已经从宁洋几人的道歉声中知道了前因后果，对杨子藏已丝毫不怀疑。
Song Zilin pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, “Friend, I don’t know if you have your own settlement, but if you’re willing, I could surrender my settlement to you and make you the head.”
宋梓林思索了两秒，咬牙道：“朋友，不知道你有没有自己的棚区，如果你愿意，我可以将我的棚区让给你，让你成为棚主。”
This was the best option he could think of for survival in this place.
这是他能想到的，在这地方生存的最佳方案。
The power of the man before him could clearly garrison a large settlement or two, making him their anchor.
眼前之人的力量明显已经能镇守一个甚至是两个大棚区，成为那里的中流砥柱。
If someone like this were to join—even if they themselves only served as a deputy shelter head—the future development of their shelter would be worlds apart from what it was before.
若是有此人加入，哪怕自己只是身为副棚主，以后的棚区发展跟现如今也不可同日而语。
Several dozen pairs of eyes instantly turned to Yang Zicang.
几十号人目光唰地落在杨子藏身上。
They thought that if this person became the shelter head, their fate in the wilderness would be truly secured.
他们想到，若是此人成为棚主，自己等人在荒野上的命运可就真有了大保障了。
“Sorry, we already have our own settlement, and we even have our own supply team.”
“不好意思，我们有自己的聚集地，而且我们还有自己的货队。”
Zuo Feixian refused without hesitation on Yang Zicang’s behalf.
左非闲想也不想的就替杨子藏拒绝道。
“If your place doesn’t develop that well in the future, you’re welcome to come to ours—trading goods too, if you want. Of course, that’s a talk for later; no need to bring it up now.”
“要是你们以后发展不如意，倒是可以往我们这边来，买卖货物也是。当然，那是后话，现在就不提了。”
Yang Zicang nodded in agreement. This old Zuo might seem unserious, but when it came to making decisions, his mind was sharp.
杨子藏点点头表示认同，这老左看上去没个正经，但正要做决定的时候，他的脑子可不乱。
Wait a moment, develop not that well… huh?
等等，发展不如意？
Yang Zicang turned around and drove his knee into Zuo Feixian’s backside, pushing him a few paces forward.
杨子藏转身一膝盖磕在左非闲屁股上，将他顶出去两三步。
“Shed Master Song, our apologies, that’s not what we meant.”
“宋棚主，不好意思，我们不是那个意思。”
“No, no, this friend speaks the truth.” Shed Master Song wiped the cold sweat from his brow.
“没，没事，这位仁兄说的是事实。”宋棚主擦了擦额头冷汗。
