Chapter 6 Camp(1/2)
Before it was completely dark, the "old transfer team" arrived at the "Rootless" camp.
From a distance, the first thing that caught their eye was one huge vehicle after another.
These vehicles are several times as long as Jeeps, and the cabins are long and tall, and the paints are different, either interlaced with brown and white, or black blocks on white background, or stripes set off silver gray.
"This is all, RV?" Jiang Baimian had no sunglasses anymore, slowed down his car and carefully identified it for a few seconds.
"Yeah." Bai Chen nodded, "RV is the home of the 'rootless people', and each car represents a family."
"That's it..." Jiang Baimian saw more details when he looked at the camp again.
The main vehicles in the camp are RVs, with at least dozens of them, and may even be close to one hundred.
Among them, the largest RVs parked at the edge and formed a circle of steel walls, leaving only a hole for vehicles to enter and exit.
Through the gap between this circle of "walls", you can see that the cars inside are parked neatly, and there seem to be several more huge vehicles in the core.
"What is a RV?" Long Yuehong asked if she didn't understand.
Shang Jianyao took the initiative to explain:
"It's the vehicle that puts the house in the car."
"Have you seen it?" Long Yuehong asked in surprise.
Everyone is a person who has received the same education and has the same experience of going out. Why have you seen a RV, but I haven’t seen it?
Shang Jianyao shook his head:
“I haven’t seen it before.
"I guess."
At this time, Jiang Baimian smiled:
"Shang Jianyao said nothing big.
"The RV is a vehicle that turns the car into a residence, with a bedroom, a toilet, a kitchen, and even a living room and a dining room."
"Luxury." Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong made comments at the same time.
Such rooms must be assigned to D7 or above within "Pangu Biology", or both husband and wife have reached D4.
Bai Chen explained:
“It is said that the original 'rootless' came from the old world RV camps, which were camps for those who drove out the RV to park specifically.”
Although she didn't understand why the old world had to do this, she still retelled the words she heard at that time.
Fortunately, Shang Jianyao did not raise any objections to this.
Bai Chen looked at the afterglow of the sunset on the car window and continued:
"You also know that at that time, there was a heart-free disease outbreak in big cities, and places like RV camps were fine, and there were no attacks on them.
"So, they were all lucky to survive the destruction of the old world, but they could not return to their hometown.
"They may have tried, and I don't know, but judging from the results, they must have failed in the end.
"In the chaotic era after the destruction of the old world, they thought it would be better for everyone to gather together, with more people and more powerful people. Then, they also found places to settle and farm, but were once again and again, attacked by monster tides and a large number of unintentional people, and driven away from their original settlements by changing weather and environment.
"Later, they were completely used to living in the car, and also used to wandering like this big team, no longer settled, calling themselves 'rootless people', well, we prefer to call them 'rootless people'."
Shang Jianyao raised very serious questions:
"What do they eat?"
"Yes, yes." Long Yuehong said that she wanted to ask this too.
Not settled means being unable to cultivate and there is no fixed harvest.
Bai Chen looked at the camp entrance getting closer and closer, and his speech speed increased a little:
"They were in an initial state closer to the ruins of ruins, getting fuel, food, weapons, high-performance batteries and various supplies from the ruins of the city after the massive death of the 'Innocent'.
“At that time, every city ruin was a rich mine.
"When the chaotic era ended, major forces were established one after another, and such a large convoy soon became the target of exploitation. They also took the opportunity to change their identities and become armed caravans that traveled between various forces, undertake cargo transportation and re-trading."
"Why don't the big forces do these businesses themselves?" Long Yuehong remembers that there are many large vehicles in the company's parking lot, which is much more than the "Rootless" camp.
Hearing his question, Jiang Baimian, who was driving, joked:
“Where does the company have so many people?
"Even a newcomer like you can get the 'old transfer team', you will know how nervous the staff is.
"We are not a 'mechanical paradise'. We have neither the resources nor the technology to produce so many intelligent robots."
Long Yuehong suddenly realized.
Bai Chen casually added:
"For many major forces, materials that are not particularly important are not very important, and they don't like to send their own people to escort them.
"There was a relatively large settlement before, because the leader sent a large number of guard members to deliver goods, but the interior was empty and was taken over by someone.
"And, in many sensitive areas, neutral caravans are more convenient to pass."
Seeing that Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao had no problems anymore, she said again:
“As long as you have fuel, food, high-performance batteries and various better vehicle accessories, you can hire a group of ‘rootless’ to deliver goods to you.
“They claim to be living by gas and electricity.
“When the weather gets colder and the transaction volume decreases, the ‘rootless’ will migrate to similar camps and use the food they have previously reserved to spend the whole winter. At the same time, they will also receive transportation and trading in the surrounding areas of the camp.
“This is the largest group of ‘rootless’ people’. They often choose this camp because there is a water plant that can still be used nearby.”
While speaking, Jeep had already arrived at the entrance of the "Rootless" camp.
Seeing this, Bai Chen quickly emphasized a few more words:
"After entering, you must remember that you cannot damage other people's vehicles.
"For the 'rootless', vehicles are their most precious property. A person who has no car and no other 'rootless' family will be abandoned.
"Also, nearly three generations of them were born in cars and grew up in cars, and they had a unique relationship with vehicles. They no longer regarded them as objects, but as family members.
"If you hurt their family, you will definitely not be able to do anything."
Jiang Baimian was very interesting to hear and took a photo of the steering wheel and said:
"It's indeed a relatively unique custom and habit."
At this time, the guards standing at the fronts of the two large RVs raised the muzzle of the submachine gun in their hands and signaled the visitor to stop.
Bai Chen pressed the car window, poked his head out and said:
"Let's do business."
The one with a beard in the guard looked carefully and his eyes lit up:
"Good looks and a great figure, this Jeep is a good one!
"What's the motivation?"
"Using high-performance batteries." Bai Chen answered truthfully.
Bearded Guards are becoming more interested:
"Do you want to change your wife and leave it behind?"
"We are true love!" Shang Jianyao poked his head out at some point and replied loudly.
The bearded guard gave a thumbs up:
“Have vision.”
He then lowered his gun and pointed his chin into the camp:
“Get in.

"Stop as instructed, otherwise we can't blame us if my wife is lost."
As the jeep passed through the entrance, Long Yuehong in the car said to himself in surprise:
"That's so simple?"
There was neither acquaintances nor confiscated weapons, so the "old transfer team" was allowed to enter the camp.
Jiang Baimian looked at the rearview mirror and said with a smile:
"For the 'rootless' caravan with abundant firepower and sufficient personnel, only outsiders may not dare to enter, afraid of being able to come in but not being able to get out."
"That's right..." Long Yuehong thought for a while, "Then we have to be vigilant and cannot fully trust these people."
"Yes." Jiang Baimian followed the instructions to move forward slowly on the marked road, and turned his head to Shang Jianyao and said, "Next, you must do your best!"
"I'm not a car." Shang Jianyao was a little "difficult".
"Yes, our little Bai Chen is so beautiful, they just looked at this jeep without even looking at it." Jiang Baimian teased.
