Elven Inquisitor

The car drove through a stretch of sandy land and finally stopped in an open space outside the stronghold.

Before Qin Feng and the others arrived, there were already several black jeeps parked here, some with wolf-head Peugeot stickers like Qin Feng's jeeps, and some with other styles of Peugeot stickers.

"Not bad, it stopped safely." Bai Ling gave Qin Feng a thumbs up, then opened the door and walked out.

Qin Feng followed closely and got out of the car after turning off the engine.

Zhang Lan was still sleeping. This guy didn't get much sleep last night because he was in love with beds. At this time, he was lying on the seat next to him, fast asleep.

Liu Xinyue didn't get out of the car. Qin Feng and Bai Ling both got off. She had to stay here to take care of the vehicles and supplies.

After all, there are not only people from Wasteland City here.

Qin Feng got out of the car and stood there, looking around.

Different from the first stronghold, because the second stronghold is located in the center of the Lord's Highlands and far away from the satellite city, a wall is built around the stronghold and the wall is also covered with barbed wire.

It's just that Qin Feng thinks that the wall and barbed wire will not be very effective. Maybe a water cannon or a flame jet will be gone.

At this time, Qin Feng's car was parked outside a wall. About 50 meters to the right of where they parked, there was an open gate, and Bai Ling was walking towards that gate.

Qin Feng did not go with him. He had a mission. He had to go to the gas station in the stronghold to fill up the oil drum and keep it for later use.

After Bai Ling left, Qin Feng went to the trunk of the car, took out two empty oil barrels, and walked towards the gas station in the distance.

Fire Spot Meow originally wanted to follow him, but was stopped by Qin Feng.

"Open flames are prohibited at gas stations."

Firecat is a fire-type Pokémon, and its body is covered with flammable hair. If it accidentally catches fire at a gas station, the consequences will be disastrous.

There was no other way, so the fire-spotted cat could only sit on the roof of the car with the bad frog in despair, waiting for his trainer to return.

The gas station is located inside the stronghold, against the wall. In addition to a cement roof with four pillars, there is also a huge oil tank with a somewhat rusty appearance.

Before Qin Feng came here, there were already many people lining up here.

After all, this stronghold is the last refueling point before entering Qinglian Valley. After leaving here, there is no place to refuel cars in a large area of ​​Qinglian Valley, so the investigation team going to Qinglian Valley will come here in advance. Fill up the car's oil to prevent the embarrassing situation of the car running out of oil while driving.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, it was finally Qin Feng's turn to cheer.

At the same time, because there was no one blocking him anymore, he could see the gas station staff clearly.

It was a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. She was sitting on the ground and stretched out her oil-stained hands towards Qin Feng.

"How much?"

"Fill up both barrels." Qin Feng handed over the oil barrel in his hand.

The girl took the oil barrel, opened the lid, then aligned the mouth of the barrel with the oil outlet of the oil tank, and opened the valve.

Gasoline spurted out, and soon the bottle was half full.

"Are you new here?" The girl who was waiting for the oil drum to be filled suddenly asked, perhaps because the smile on her face made her feel a little familiar.

"Yes." Qin Feng nodded.

"No wonder I haven't seen you before. Which satellite city are you from?"

"Satellite City No. [-]."

Although this stronghold was built by Wasteland City, because it is located in the Lord's Highlands, there will also be investigators from other cities.

However, because the uniforms of investigators in each city were different, the girl was able to recognize Qin Feng as a native of Wasteland City at first glance.

"Since you are from Wasteland City, let me give you a discount. Two barrels of oil originally cost 1200 yuan. I'll give you a small change, just 1000 yuan."

"Thank you then." Qin Feng replied happily.

200 yuan is enough for the four members of his team to have a dinner together in the satellite city.

At least there's nothing wrong with having a late night snack.

Because of this 200 yuan discount, Qin Feng was very pleased with the girl.

"Are you going to Qinglian Valley?" the girl suddenly asked.

"Ah."

Seeing Qin Feng nod, a trace of worry flashed between the girl's eyebrows: "I heard that the investigators who came to the stronghold recently to cheer up were discussing, and there seems to be some unrest there."

Qin Feng's brows jumped.

"It seems like homeless people are causing trouble over there."

"Wanderer?" Qin Feng was a little confused.

He really didn't know what the homeless girl was talking about.

However, it was not easy to ask the girl at this time, because his second barrel of oil had also been filled up. If he continued to ask, it would definitely delay the investigators behind him from refueling.

So, he replied: "Well, thanks for reminding me, I will talk to the captain about this when I get back."

"Yeah." The girl didn't say much. After helping Qin Feng tighten the lid of the mailbox, she began to greet the next customer.

After giving the money, Qin Feng carried two barrels of oil back to the parking position. After making sure that the fuel tank caps were tightened, he put the fuel tanks into the trunk and then returned to the passenger seat.

When he got in the car, Liu Xinyue just put away his notebook.

Qin Feng also took this opportunity to ask: "Sister Xinyue, what is a wanderer?"

Liu Xinyue was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Qin Feng to ask such a question.

"Where did you hear about Wanderers?"

"While refueling, I heard from the gas station attendant. She said that the Qinglian Valley has been a bit unsafe recently, and there are homeless people there."

Liu Xinyue nodded and began to explain.

Wanderers, also known as dangerous wanderers, refer to humans who live outside the satellite city and have no fixed residence. They are not under the jurisdiction of the satellite city, have no rules, and only do things according to their own preferences.

They will not communicate with the people in the satellite city, and even when their interests conflict, they will actively attack humans and regard humans as prey.

Wanderers first appeared after the arrival of the giant beasts. Before the city was rebuilt, many people were unwilling to return to civilized society, so they walked into the wilderness and became wanderers.

Over the years, the relationship between us and the wanderers has not been good. We often have conflicts over fighting for things. At the same time, they are not very united internally. They will even draw swords and attack each other because of the slightest benefit.

To use one word to describe it, it is crazy.

However, the satellite city has a strong armed force, so they generally dare not cause trouble around the satellite city. They only dare to appear in the wilderness that the satellite city cannot take care of. Therefore, major cities turn a blind eye to them. There is no real determination to eliminate them.

But these guys are like rats in the gutter. They will always pop out to trip you up at critical moments, and sometimes even cause casualties to the investigators, so they are not a good thing for the investigation team.
