Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Chapter 1671: Thunderbolt Suicide Squad

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shen Yuanbao sent Meng Chao a document.

It was the information regarding the mechanic’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 mechanic was called “Li Wei,” and he was once a member of the Thunderbolt Suicide Squad.

The Thunderbolt Suicide Squad was the collective name 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 time, 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 predicament 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.

Sometimes, in order to transport a box of ammunition and genetic medicine, 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” came about for the Thunderbolt Suicide Squad.

In the past, becoming a member 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 development. 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 became greatly reduced.

The reason was obvious.

Times had changed. Even ordinary people who had just learned how to drive for a short time 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 consumed an extremely 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 members of the past had changed careers one after another.

Some of the lucky ones had become bus drivers, truck drivers, and crew members of armored airships.

There were also many experienced drivers who could not find jobs and became victims of the surging tide of the times.

Li Wei was considered lucky.

The former 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 income of being a mechanic in a civilian vehicle repair factory was definitely like heaven and earth compared to the time when they were in the Thunderbolt Suicide Squad.

Their social status had also plummeted.

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 accomplishment.

Since Meng Chao returned to Dragon City, he had come into contact with many middle- and low-level superhumans like Li Wei. After their victory in the Monster War, their income 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.

Meng Chao knew that after any long, drawn-out war, after decades of blood and fire, the placement of veterans who had trained in the art of killing would always be the most complicated and troublesome problem.

With a little carelessness, the heroes of the past could easily go from one extreme to the other and become 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 income.

If there was no income, 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, Meng Chao also needed to find more evidence.

Fortunately, Shen Yuanbao had a very detailed medical report on Li Wei.

As a senior driver, Li Wei was a member 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 extremely 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 members of the Dragon City Dangerous Goods Transportation Association had to undergo a comprehensive physical and mental check-up every six months so that the Traffic Management Department would have a detailed record of their health.
