Chapter 140 Don't put your ankle on a public bus? I'll roast you!
Beep beep beep...
When the truck arrived at the entrance of the industrial park, Ma Jieke quickly honked the car horn.
A skinny white man in a security guard uniform walked out of the duty room, looking nonchalant: "What are you pressing randomly, buddy? Where's your pass?"
Oh no, no one told me there was this part too.
However, Ma Jie reacted quickly, immediately searching the car, but after a long time he still couldn't find it.
It's estimated that the driver carried it with him.
Just as he was wondering what to do, several more cars drove up behind him, blocking him completely behind the barrier.
Beep beep beep... Beep beep beep...
After waiting for a while, the drivers all impatiently started honking their horns.
"Hey, do you even have a pass? Can you hurry up?"
Seeing this, the white security guard became a little impatient and started banging on the car door with his extendable baton.
Ma Jieke let it go in one ear and out the other, pretending not to hear it, since he wasn't in a hurry.
Seeing the increasingly long traffic jam, he had no choice but to walk to the cargo area, lift the tarpaulin to take a look, and after confirming that everything was normal construction equipment, he waved his hand helplessly and pressed the remote control: "Never mind, you go in first. Remember to get a replacement if you lose anything."
Having successfully fooled the security personnel, everything else proceeded smoothly.
Following the navigation prompts, we soon arrived at the refresh point of the Prism Question Mark.
In front of us was a large cargo loading and unloading area, with about 20 trucks of various sizes parked there.
This makes precise location impossible. After all, no matter how detailed the map is, it's impossible to pinpoint a specific car; it only provides the smallest possible search area.
It seems that this Prismatic Chroma trophy is one of them.
What first caught Ma Jie's eye was the imposing Peterbilt 389.
This is a typical American muscle truck, known as the king of the road in the freight industry, and is also the prototype vehicle for Optimus Prime.
The appraisal showed that the new truck cost $20, which shows that truck drivers also hold a significant position in the blue-collar industry.
Unfortunately, this big guy already has an owner, so there's no way to enable auto-pickup.
After investigation, the target was identified as a medium-sized dump truck painted in silver-gray.
Wapi Moose XL: 2012 Wapi Cargo Series, odometer reading 9.73 miles, engine running normally, mechanical performance acceptable, paintwork has rust and scratches, tires are severely worn, professional maintenance and repair recommended.
The original owner was shot in the head with a shotgun three weeks ago after an argument with his neighbor. Since he has no legal heirs, the car is permanently idle. The market price is estimated at $18500, and the repair cost is $2800 to $3500.
Holy crap, the American people are really full of martial spirit. It's just a quarrel between neighbors, and they pull out grenades at the drop of a hat.
If you spray that stuff on your head, or anywhere on your body, the survival rate is basically zero. You'll bleed to death just from the blood loss.
Alright, brother, rest in peace. I'll gladly accept your inheritance.
Once this vehicle is taken back and repaired, it can be used as a public bus at the camp, specifically for transporting tanks.
After explaining the situation to Xiao Fu, the latter still didn't believe it and insisted on taking out his phone to open the AC software to check.
AC software, short for AbnormalCar, is a paid software developed by hackers.
Its function is to use big data and intelligent recognition technology to find vehicles in the city that have not moved for a long time.
Nine out of ten car hunters in Los Santos rely on this app to find zombie cars.
If you pay to upgrade to WIP, you can also check the vehicle owner's information, but the accuracy is hard to say because the information collection channels are too varied and lack authority, making it easy to misidentify the owner.
Therefore, software only plays a supporting role; what you really need to rely on is your own judgment.
A seasoned car hunter can determine whether a vehicle is a zombie car simply by visually inspecting its exterior.
For example, details such as the amount of dust or fallen leaves accumulated in the gaps of the car windows and the air intake grille, whether there are rust marks on the exhaust pipe and brake discs, and whether the tire pressure is slowly leaking air.
This allows for the calculation of specific parking time limits and determines whether recycling is permissible.
But if you misjudge and drive away a car that belongs to someone else, that's not picking it up, that's stealing, and you'll easily get arrested by your uncle.
"So, did you find it?" Facing Xiao Fu, who was intently checking his phone and inspecting the car, Ma Jie said disdainfully, "Excuse my bluntness, buddy, if an app could do it all, do you think we'd even have a chance? Our competitors would have snatched it up long ago."
"Waldfa, how did you do that?" After confirming that it was most likely a zombie car, Xiao Fu felt like his IQ had shattered into a million pieces.
They're both in the vehicle recycling business, but the difference is just too big. I haven't seen him use any secret weapons. Did he find it by searching through brainwaves?
"That's none of your concern," Ma Jie said smugly, a smug smirk playing on his lips. "I told you, I have an exclusive secret technique, and secret techniques definitely can't be revealed."
"Okay, Jack, you're right now." Little Fu scratched his head with a wry smile. It's true what they say, comparisons are odious. If he had this ability, he probably would have won the "Employee of the Year" award long ago.
"Don't just stand there, bro, figure out how to start the car." Ma Jie said, then added, "Oh, by the way, this car looks like it's in pretty good condition; it'll need some maintenance and repairs. Aren't you short on sales lately? So I'm leaving this to you. Pretty good, right?"
"That's great!" Upon learning that there was profit to be made, Xiao Fu suddenly became very enthusiastic.
After all, he was only assisting Jack Ma this time, and the car was found by Jack Ma, so he was too embarrassed to ask for a share of the profits. But judging from the condition of the car, it would cost at least three thousand dollars. According to the 10% employee commission, he could earn at least 300 US dollars.
$300 is a lot. Most basic jobs in Los Angeles don't earn $300 a day; you'd only make $100 to $150 at most.
Because it was an old-fashioned heavy-duty truck, there was no need for high technology. After climbing onto the footboard, this guy smashed the window with an elbow strike.
Then he reached in, opened the car door, cleared the broken glass from the seat, shifted his position in the driver's seat, pulled out a small screwdriver, and quickly pried open the protective panel located on the side below the steering wheel.
The following steps are quite different from those in the movie, because instead of two wires, there is a large bundle of wires tangled together.
However, this was no challenge for Xiao Fu, who quickly found two ignition wires, namely the positive and negative wires.
After about seven or eight rubs, the roar of the engine starting up reached my ears.
The principle behind this startup is very simple: it simulates the entire process of igniting a machine with a mechanical key.
It is worth mentioning that this method only applies to older cars; most cars produced today are equipped with electronic engine immobilizer systems.
Simply put, the key contains a chip with a password. When the ignition device is started, it will verify the password. If the password is incorrect, even if the wires are short-circuited, it will still not inject fuel and ignite.
However, for every step the righteous take, the wicked take ten. This is no problem for a truly shrewd car hunter. If I want to steal from you, I have plenty of ways to do it.
"Haha, you're really something, buddy."
Ma Jie felt a surge of secret satisfaction. Luckily, he had brought him along; otherwise, seeing the spoils so close yet unable to reclaim them would have been incredibly frustrating.
Just as he was about to get into the passenger seat and drive away, a noisy commotion suddenly came from behind.
"It's him! He stole my truck! Catch him!"
I glanced in the rearview mirror and saw the truck driver who had been tricked by the Paw Patrol earlier.
He sat in the back of a patrol car used for transportation within the industrial park, followed by a large group of security guards.
They all drive these four-wheeled electric vehicles.
"Get out of here! Get out of here!" Seeing the situation was bad, Ma Jie quickly opened the car door and got in, urging Xiao Fu to escape the scene.
"Hey, don't run!" Seeing the truck suddenly start, someone who appeared to be the security captain turned on the vehicle's loudspeaker: "I'm warning you two, this is illegal intrusion. You'd better stop right now."
While issuing the warning, several patrol cars changed lanes and blocked the road directly in front of the Waipi Moose, attempting a classic American-style stop.
"Ignore him, just rush out."
Ma Jieke lost his composure. What's the difference between this and sticking your foot out on a public bus?
Xiao Fu was no pushover either; he floored the accelerator and, instead of slowing down, began to accelerate.
The security guards were so frightened that they quickly moved aside; those who couldn't dodge in time simply jumped out of the car.
Boom! The two patrol cars crashed into the left and right bumpers respectively, and were thrown off by the powerful impact.
It rolled several times on the ground, with various parts flying everywhere. One car slid and lay on its side on the ground, while another car lay upside down like a turtle.
The once arrogant security captain stared in disbelief at the horrific scene.
Enraged, he immediately activated the siren, and the patrol car promptly emitted a short, piercing wail.
"Stop the car! Your actions are illegal. I'm telling you to stop!"
His roar was clearly heard by Xiao Fu and Ma Jie through the loudspeaker.
"If you don't stop, I'll shoot!" he said, pulling an old-fashioned shotgun from the gun rack on the roof of the car.
Seeing his half-body sticking out and the gun barrel, Ma Jieke was successfully amused.
Shotguns are known as the king of close combat, boasting exceptionally high accuracy in indoor and urban warfare, at least 6% higher than pistols.
More than 0%.
Because it fires a large cluster of cone-shaped projectiles, as long as the distance is sufficient, it can glide over the target even if you don't aim accurately.
But if you're shooting from inside a car with a shotgun, and you manage to hit me even once, you'll have to pay with ten years of your life.
Let alone shotguns, even assault rifles and submachine guns with slightly heavier barrels will have their accuracy greatly reduced.
True experts usually use pistols and ukuleles; a lightweight gun is key, and a large number of bullets is a bonus.
Boom! A huge gunshot rang out. Without saying a word, the guy actually fired a shot at the Waipi moose, targeting the area near the tire.
However, just as Ma Jie predicted, unless you hit me head-on, it's too unrealistic to hit me.
