Chapter 15: I Join
After sitting and resting for a while, Liu Cong and I helped each other up from the ground and slapped each other's dirt. I took the opportunity to crane my neck to look at the thing called the charioteer, and found it still lying motionless on the hood of the sports car, like a dead thing.
Liu Cong walked over and lay on the outside of the transparent cover and looked at the car carefully, "You know the characteristics of the driver, the driver can sense and lock the fastest car within a radius of one kilometer, and after observing the speed and direction of the car, it will run to the position where the car has been driving for three seconds and stop and wait." As it stands, it must have locked my car, and even though my car was parked, it was still in the same place three seconds later because there were no other vehicles moving nearby. β
Liu Cong moved his position, looked at the Che Ling at a different angle, and his head gradually began to tilt down, looking very interested in what was under the white clothes, "It's also the first time I've observed the Che Ling up close, um... Not to mention anything else, this leg is really... β
I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart, this thing looks the same as Sadako in the movie, and it's a shame that Liu Cong, a kid, can lie there and watch it for a long time, the taste is really heavy.
Liu Cong seemed to realize what I was thinking, coughed dryly, took out his mobile phone from his arms and dialed a number, "Hey, Brother Zhao, I'm Liu Cong." I grabbed a chauffeur here in the East Tide District. Right. Okay, I'll send you the location. β
Watching Liu Cong skillfully use WeChat to send the location we are now to the person named Brother Zhao, I couldn't help but be a little dazed, "This... That's the end of it?"
"Yes," Liu Cong nodded at me, took out a pack of cigarettes in his arms, took one himself, handed me one, and then began to grope for the lighter again, while saying to me, "The ability of the car is to move at high speed, not teleportation, as long as the obstacle blocks it, it is impossible to escape." We're lucky today, if there were cars passing by, we wouldn't know where it was going. Next, we have to wait for the recovery team at the headquarters to come over and take the driver away. β
I casually took out the lighter from my pocket, reached out to light it for him, and said, "Since this thing is so easy to grasp, why did Lina call you?"
Liu Cong was about to stick his head over and light a cigarette when he suddenly froze, and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground, whispered a word, and quickly took out his mobile phone to call Linna. Seeing that he was so nervous, I quickly put out the cigarette in my hand.
"Pick it up!" Liu Cong stomped his feet anxiously, and I could hear a long "beep-beep-" sound from the phone, indicating that the other party's phone rang, but there was no answer.
Liu Cong hung up the phone and called again, there was still a beep in the earpiece in his hand, and the whole person couldn't help but get impatient, and kicked the transparent cover that locked the car and the sports car fiercely, "Groove! How can I forget such an important matter! Damn, how can I be so stupid, compare!"
I realized that the current situation is very serious, Lina did not answer the phone, something must have happened, and we were still nearly ten miles away from the location mentioned in the news, but the car was buckled together by Liu Cong with a cover. If you want to drive, you have to put away the cover, and once you put the cover away, will the driver honestly let us buckle it up again? And if you take 10,000 steps back, even if you don't care about the driver, is it really a wise choice to drive near the driver?
"Damn!" Liu Cong cursed in a low voice as he dialed the previous phone again, "Hey, Brother Zhao, it's me, Liu Cong! β
He briefly explained the current situation, asked for the recovery truck to come quickly, and asked for someone to come to our aid. Halfway through his words, Liu Cong suddenly turned his head to look at me, "Linna, like me, is also a B-level personnel, if it is something that she can't deal with alone, then I guess it's enough for me to be alone, not to mention that you don't have the ability to protect yourself, and I still have the energy to protect you." It's too dangerous for you to stay here now, I can't let you follow me anymore! β
As he spoke, he added to the person on the other end of the line, "I have a friend next to me, no, he's not a Guardian, uh- not a civilian, he went to the imaging interview this morning, and he passed the test, and now he's considering whether to join." yes, I'll let him go back with the recycling truck. Ok no problem. β
After hanging up the phone, Liu Cong bent down to pick up the cigarette he had dropped on the ground, sat down on the side of the road, and waved at me. I hurried over and lit him a cigarette and lit the remaining half of my own cigarette.
The two of us sat on the curb with our backs to the car, neither of us spoke, and my hand holding the cigarette was trembling slightly from nervousness and excitement.
It was almost two o'clock in the night, and it was dark and silent. The road is surrounded by undeveloped wasteland, and it is estimated that development will not begin until the road is completely completed.
The two of us sat on the curb of the road and swallowed the clouds, waiting for the car from the recycling team to come over, and after a while, seeing that the cigarette was almost finished, Liu Cong suddenly asked me, "You have followed me all the way, and you should have seen almost all the knowledge, and the work of our guardians on weekdays is about this level." What are you thinking about, do you want to join?"
To be honest, it was indeed a bit thrilling to come with Liu Cong all the way, just overturned, if it wasn't for luck, I'm afraid I would have burped a long time ago, so I still have some hesitation now, "Uh... I haven't thought about it yet... β
Liu Cong stood up suddenly, startling me, only to see him drop the cigarette butt on the ground, and yelled at me a little irritably: "I really can't stand the chirping of you! I haven't thought about it, I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of death, so you can go home and stay if you're afraid of death! Wait for a girl like Linna to protect your dog's life!"
I was a little stunned, but then I understood, at this time, Liu Cong's heart should be anxious like a fire, and the life and death of some favored girls were uncertain, but he was sitting on the road smoking cigarettes and other helpers, this feeling is very uncomfortable when I think about it. So I sat silently on the road and didn't speak, letting Liu Cong vent.
"Benima looked at me with that kind of look, with a posture that I understand you, and when my mother thinks of myself, and a girl like Linna, it is you who risk her life to protect it, I specially-" Liu Cong raised his leg to the cover is kick, and the cover made a dull crashing sound, and the car driver inside was still motionless.
I frowned and didn't speak, but somehow, Wang Xiaoyu's somewhat immature face came to my mindβyes, even such a petite girl is willing to join, what is my pretentiousness here as a big man? Afraid that my parents will be sad? Do these guardians have no parents? Do those soldiers who defend their families and the country on the battlefield have no parents? Why am I the only one who is afraid that my parents are worried? Is it because I am more filial than all of them?
!
I think of making my parents angry when I was in school, and I quarreled with my parents at work because of all kinds of trivial things. If what I do can be called filial piety, then the bottom line of filial piety is too low!
In the final analysis, I am nothing more than afraid of death, and the cowardly and cowardly true heart is wrapped in a filial piety by me, and I have carried out a perfect self-deception on myself!
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment in my heart for some reason. I patted my ass and stood up, and slowly spit out three words in Liu Cong's angry gaze:
"I joined. β
After a long silence, Liu Cong stared at me panting, and I silently watched him without speaking. After a while, Liu Cong suddenly sighed, and I could feel his whole person relaxing.
Sitting on the ground casually, Liu Cong took out a cigarette again, and this time he found the lighter. I lit myself a cigarette, took two puffs, and said to me, "I'm sorry just now." β
I spread my hands nonchalantly and took out a cigarette and lit it, "It's okay." I'm a slow person, and a lot of times I can't make my own decisions, and someone has to push me. Just like in the company before, if it weren't for that bullshit supervisor who insisted on me working overtime, I guess I'd still be working as an ordinary little artist now. β
"Not only do you not have to apologize to me, but I should thank you well. Your scolding can be regarded as waking me up. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will go to Mr. Zhang, I want to join. β
Liu Cong was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a muffled sound behind him, and the two of us hurriedly turned around to look. I saw that the car was sticking itself to the inside of the cover in a strange posture, and its body was still vibrating at an alarming frequency - it seemed that it wanted to move quickly in a certain direction, but it was blocked by the cover in front of it.
"What's going on? Is there a car coming from that direction?" I looked in the direction the driver wanted to go, and found that it was the way we came.
"It should be that the recycling team has arrived. Liu Cong got up and looked into the distance, "That's right, it's the recovery team that has arrived! Why did they come by car?!"
Liu Cong suddenly exclaimed and hurriedly looked back. I saw that the chariot was still sticking to the inside of the cover in the posture he had just made, but the expression on his face gradually became hideous. What's even more terrifying is that the transparent cover, which was originally in the shape of a perfect hemisphere, is gradually being lifted up by it to form a humanoid bulge, and cracks are beginning to appear on the smooth surface of the cover, making a terrifying clicking sound.
In the distance, two white dots of light were approaching us along the road, and as the distance between us shortened, I gradually recognized that it was a black business vehicle.
"Damn! They really came here in a commercial car! What should Liu Cong do? Can you hold this hood?"
