Chapter 1671: Thunderbolt Suicide Squad
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Shen Yuanbao sent ng Chao a docunt.
It was the information regarding the chanic’s identity.
This car repair factory was a little famous in the neighborhood, and many rich people went there to modify their vehicles. Due to the nature of the modification work, in order to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicles, the maintenance workers and the modifiers had been registered in the relevant units. They also obtained professional qualification certificates and an A-level certificate. Therefore, there were no issues in relation to imposters or even fictitious identities.
According to the information, this chanic was called “Li Wei,” and he was once a mber of the Thunderbolt Suicide Squad.
The Thunderbolt Suicide Squad was the collective na of the special transport fleet that traveled between the ruins of Dragon City and the isolated strongholds in the wilderness during the Monster War.
At that ti, humans and monsters were engaged in close combat. They would often be caught in the fierce battle, and the human supply lines would often be torn apart by the monster horde, especially the forward bases that were far away from the city of Dragon City and deep in the wilderness.
Once they were surrounded by the monster horde, it was easy to fall into the predicant of running out of ammunition and food.
There were also many forward bases built in the depths of the mountains where the roads were rugged and even non-existent. The jungles grew crazily.
The daily supply operations of these forward bases that were “isolated lands” could not be reached by air transportation.
Only experienced drivers with great skills and courage could drive off-road vehicles that had been specially modified and loaded with explosion-proof tires, tracks, and even crawling feet. Only then could the supplies be transported in one vehicle after another.
When the situation was at its most tense, the fearless drivers even had to carve a bloody path through the overwhelming beast tide and crush the monsters’ broken limbs before they could break into the besieged human stronghold. Then, they could finally transfer precious guns, ammunition, and cultivation resources to the soldiers who were fighting fiercely.
With such a special transportation operation, the casualty rate was naturally high.
Sotis, in order to transport a box of ammunition and genetic dicine, they had to sacrifice the lives of more than a dozen veteran riders. But they did not hesitate at all.
That was how the word “suicide” ca about for the Thunderbolt Suicide Squad.
In the past, becoming a mber of the Thunderbolt Suicide Squad was quite a glorious thing for middle- and low-level superhumans who had talent in driving and machinery.
As long as they could make a bloody path through the torrential beast tide, they would be able to receive a considerable reward, as well as the gratitude and cheers of everyone who was surrounded by the beasts.
However, with the end of the Monster War, Dragon City entered a new phase of transportation developnt. Railway tracks and highways were laid out from the main city district to various satellite cities to various forward bases, and crystal ore veins. All kinds of super-large armored airships with astonishing loads were introduced one after another, and the importance of the Thunderbolt Suicide Squad beca greatly reduced.
The reason was obvious.
Tis had changed. Even ordinary people who had just learned how to drive for a short ti could drive heavy trucks with loads of tens or even hundreds of tons on the highway at lightning speed.
Drones and intelligent war machines with monster nerves patrolled the area to ensure that not a single fly could fly on the highway.
Who still needed the Thunder Suicide Squad to drive a specially modified vehicle that looked like a combination of a steel hedgehog and Bigfoot? It consud an extrely high amount of fuel, but it could not carry much cargo. How about rampaging through the rugged mountain roads and overgrown jungles?
The Thunderbolt Suicide Squad mbers of the past had changed careers one after another.
So of the lucky ones had beco bus drivers, truck drivers, and crew mbers of armored airships.
There were also many experienced drivers who could not find jobs and beca victims of the surging tide of the tis.
Li Wei was considered lucky.
The forr captain had received the help of a noble and invested in this vehicle repair factory.
More than a dozen old brothers could still huddle together to keep warm.
Once, the vehicle they modified managed to withstand the impact of a Demonic Halberd Pig and still maintain a speed of thirty to fifty yards an hour, as well as advance through a jungle filled with poisonous thorns.
Now, it was obviously a piece of cake to repair and modify civilian vehicles.
Speaking of which, the inco of being a chanic in a civilian vehicle repair factory was definitely like heaven and earth compared to the ti when they were in the Thunderbolt Suicide Squad.
Their social status had also plumted.
There were no more flowers, cheers, or applause.
There would also be no near-death experiences. After finally transporting an important cargo, they would receive a high reward and a full sense of accomplishnt.
Since ng Chao returned to Dragon City, he had co into contact with many middle- and low-level superhumans like Li Wei. After their victory in the Monster War, their inco and social status had actually decreased.
“The war is over. We are useless.”
“I know nothing apart from killing monsters. I’m just a piece of trash!”
“In order to defeat the monsters, I have left so many scars on my body. Now, what can I exchange these scars for?”
“The flowers, the cheers, the applause, the hugs, and the adoring gazes… Where did they all go?”
Those were Li Wei’s usual thoughts.
ng Chao knew that after any long, drawn-out war, after decades of blood and fire, the placent of veterans who had trained in the art of killing would always be the most complicated and troubleso problem.
With a little carelessness, the heroes of the past could easily go from one extre to the other and beco the source of the entire society’s turmoil.
However, the problem Dragon City faced was more serious than any other country in the Earth era becauseDragon City had no market and hinterland to speak of.
Without a market, there would be no jobs.
Without jobs, there would be no inco.
If there was no inco, there would be no dignity.
Once these middle- and low-level superhumans and veterans, who knew nothing except killing, discovered that they had no jobs, no dignity, and no hope, there was a high probability that they would pick up killing again and use their only skill to fight for what belonged to them.
In short, people like Li Wei had a very good motive to join the Blood Alliance and change their fate as well as Dragon City’s!
Of course, apart from the motive, ng Chao also needed to find more evidence.
Fortunately, Shen Yuanbao had a very detailed dical report on Li Wei.
As a senior driver, Li Wei was a mber of the Dragon City Dangerous Goods Transportation Association, and he had a Special Class A driving license.
In other words, he was qualified to transport dangerous goods, including raw crystals and compressed spirit energy.
Since crystal products were inflammable, explosive, and extrely dangerous, it was necessary to ensure that the drivers who transported such volatile goods were absolutely healthy, stable, and reliable.
What if the driver suddenly had a heart attack while transporting a whole truck full of raw crystals or compressed spirit energy and caused the vehicle to go out of control?
That vehicle would turn into a heavy rampaging bomb.
Therefore, the mbers of the Dragon City Dangerous Goods Transportation Association had to undergo a comprehensive physical and ntal check-up every six months so that the Traffic Managent Departnt would have a detailed record of their health.
