Chapter 1669: Thunder Expendables

Chapter 1669 Thunder Expendables
Shen Yuanbao said this and sent a document to Meng Chao.
It was the identity information of the car mechanic.
This vehicle repair shop is well-known in the neighborhood, and many wealthy people come here to refit vehicles-because of the particularity of the refit operation, in order to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle, the repairmen and refitters here are in the relevant units. It has been registered and obtained the qualification certificate and grade certificate, so there is no problem of impostor or even fictitious identity.
According to the data, the maintenance worker was called "Li Wei" and was once a member of the Thunder Death Squad.
Thunder Death Squad is a collective name for the special transport convoys that traveled between the ruins of the Dragon City and the isolated wilderness strongholds during the Monster War.
At that time, humans and monsters faced each other, and they were often caught in a war of entanglements, and the supply lines of humans were often washed away by the beast tide.
Especially the forward base that is far away from the Longcheng area and deeply inserted into the wasteland, once surrounded by the beast tide, it is easy to fall into the dilemma of running out of ammunition and food.
There are also many forward bases, built in the depths of the mountains and mountains where the roads are rough or even without roads, and the jungle grows wildly.
The daily supply operations of these "isolated overseas" forward bases cannot be satisfied at all by relying on air transportation.
Only the daring and senior drivers of Yigao, driving specially modified off-road vehicles equipped with run-flat tires, tracks and even crawling feet, can transport the supplies in a car by car.
When the situation was at its most tense, the drivers who were not afraid of death even had to forcibly cut a path through the overwhelming beast horde, crushing the stumps and arms of the monsters, in order to break into the surrounded human strongholds and save precious animals. The guns, ammunition and training resources are delivered to the hands of the soldiers who are fighting fiercely.
Such special transport operations, of course, the casualty rate remains high.
Sometimes, in order to transport a box of ammunition and genetic medicine, they sacrificed the lives of more than a dozen senior drivers, and they all went forward and did not hesitate.
That's how the word "dare to die" came from the Thunder Expendables.
In the past, it was quite a glorious thing for a mid-to-low-level superhuman with driving and mechanical talents to become a Thunderbolt.
As long as you can wade a path from the surging beast tide, you can get a lot of rewards, as well as the thanks and cheers of everyone surrounded by the beast tide.
However, with the end of the monster war, especially Longcheng has entered a new stage of traffic development. From the main city to each satellite city to the forward bases and spar mines, railroad tracks and highways have been laid. Super-large armored airships with amazing carrying capacity have also come out one after another, and the importance of the Thunder Death Squad has been greatly reduced.
The reason is obvious.
Times have changed. Even ordinary people who have just learned to drive can drive a heavy truck with a load of dozens or even hundreds of tons on the highway.
Drones and intelligent warfare machines equipped with monster nerves patrol the route, ensuring that not a single fly can make it onto the highway.
Who needs the Thunderbolts, driving a specially modified car that is like a mixture of a steel hedgehog and a bigfoot, extremely fuel-consuming, but can not carry much cargo, rampage in rough mountain roads and overgrown forests , what about the hard trek?
The Thunder Expendables of the past have changed careers.
Some of the lucky ones became bus drivers, truck drivers and crew members of armored airships.
There are also many senior drivers who can't find jobs and fall victim to the rolling tide of the times.
Li Wei was lucky.
The former captain got the help of nobles and invested in this vehicle repair shop.
More than a dozen old brothers can still get together and keep warm.
In the past, the vehicles they modified were enough to withstand the impact of the sword and halberd demon pigs, still maintaining a speed of thirty or fifty yards, and advancing in the jungle full of poisonous thorns.
Now, maintenance and modification of civilian vehicles is naturally a piece of cake.
Having said that, the income of being a maintenance worker in a civilian vehicle repair shop is definitely a day and a day compared to when he was in the Thunder Expendables.
Social status has plummeted.
No more flowers, cheers and applause.
There will be no chance of dying. After finally transporting an important cargo, the high reward and the full sense of achievement are harvested.
Since Meng Chao returned to Longcheng, he has come into contact with a lot of people like Li Wei. After the victory of the monster war, his income and social status decreased.
"The war is over, we are useless."
"I can't do anything except kill monsters, I'm just a waste!"
"In order to defeat the monsters, I have left so many scars on my body. Now, what can I use these scars for in exchange?"
"Where did all those flowers, those cheers, those applause, those hugs, those adoring eyes... all gone?"
This is the common voice of "Li Wei".
Meng Chao knew that after the end of any protracted war, after decades of hardening with blood and fire, the placement of veterans who had trained in killing skills has always been the most complicated and troublesome problem.
With a little carelessness, the heroes of the past can easily go from one extreme to the other and become the source of chaos for the entire society.
However, the problems faced by Longcheng are more serious than those of any country in the earth age.
Because Longcheng has no market and hinterland to speak of.
There are no jobs without a market.
No job, no income.
There is no dignity without income.
Once these low-level superhumans and veterans who know nothing but killing skills, find themselves with no job, no dignity, and no hope.
There is a high probability that they will regain their killing skills and use their only skilled skills to fight for what should belong to them.
In a word, people like "Li Wei" have a very strong motivation to join the Blood Alliance and change their destiny and that of Longcheng!
Of course, in addition to motivation, Meng Chao also needs to find more sufficient and direct evidence.
Fortunately, Shen Yuanbao got a very detailed medical report about Li Wei.
As a senior driver, Li Wei is a member of the "Longcheng Dangerous Goods Transportation Association" and has a "Super Class A" driver's license.
That said, he is qualified to transport dangerous goods including spar ore and compressed aura.
Because spar products are flammable, explosive, and extremely dangerous.
It must be ensured that drivers transporting such dangerous goods are absolutely healthy, stable and reliable.
In case the driver suffers a heart attack while transporting a whole carload of spar ore or compressing the aura, causing the car to lose control.
That turns into a rampage blockbuster.
Therefore, members of the "Longcheng Dangerous Goods Transportation Association" have to undergo a comprehensive physical and mental examination every six months, and leave extremely detailed health data files in the traffic management department.
