The three of them turned back the way they came

"Xiao Mo, when we complete the commission, what do you want to ask the client?"

Lin Ran shook his head and walked in front of the three of them, and pushed Mo Zihan behind him with his elbow.

"I don't know, I'm confused right now. ”

Obviously, Mo Zihan didn't even know what he was going to do at this moment, he only knew that after Shirley sent him to the wrong time, he was inexplicably exposed to some new terms.

These so-called "commissions" may be like the games they used to like to play, where the player completes one task after another, and the further they go, the stronger they become.

Could it be that thirty years later, the real world has also begun to play the routine of upgrading?

But in any case, Mo Zihan never forgot the task that Shirley gave him when he closed his eyes: to save people, but at this wrong point in time, he who was not even clear about the target person, could only be led by the nose by Lin Ran, a "young man", he had already seen the future thirty years, and it would not hurt to know a little more.

"But first of all, I just want to know how we get to the address on this commission, 'One Hundred and Sixty-One Villas in the Eastern Suburbs Mountain District,'" Mo Zihan said.

"You can let Uncle Bai send us there. Qiu Shuyu smiled like a girl on her face again, and the blue-haired girl in front of her seemed to be very obsessed with Mo Zihan's robot housekeeper.

"No, let Uncle Bai go, he has to point fingers on the side, like an old woman. ”

Lin Ran stretched out his thumb and pointed at himself and said: "Take my speedboat, let you open your eyes and take a look at my father's latest research "Treading Waves", Lin Fei's face was full of anger, and his eyes revealed the arrogance of a stubborn child.

Walking out of the lobby of the Explorer's House, the trio returned to the speedboat parking area where they had started.

"Look!" Lin Ran pretended to be mysterious, stretched out his right hand and tapped his right ear twice, and a black headset with a microphone had been worn on his ear for some time.

While Mo Zihan and Qiu Shuyu were amazed, Lin Ran explained on the side:

"This is the latest invisible earphone, usually worn in the ear will not show shape and will not feel anything, and the activation of the password is to double tap the ear wearing the earphone, of course, this also depends on the owner of the earphone. ”

"Treading the waves, execute the activation command. ”

Lin Ran gave an order to the headset, and a roar of turbine rotation suddenly sounded in the originally quiet group of speedboats, and not far away, a speedboat with a matte black body slowly flew away from the water.

"Come to me. As soon as Lin Ran's words fell, the two headlights in front of the speedboat suddenly turned on, like two sharp eagle eyes emitting a dark golden light, and the four turbine fans around the hull turned around and rotated rapidly, and within a second, the "Treading Wave" had flown in front of the three people from dozens of meters away.

"Wow, it's the first time I've seen a flying speedboat. Qiu Shuyu put his hands on his cheeks, revealing a look of surprise that had not been deeply involved in the world.

Mo Zihan walked to the side of the speedboat, looked at the stunner in front of him who was called "Treading Waves" by Lin Ran, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke its fuselage.

"Mo Chenfeng, don't touch me!"

Mo Zihan's outstretched hand was frightened by this sudden sound, and instantly retracted.

"Holy!

"Stuff?!haha. ”

Mo Zihan's frightened face attracted Lin Ran's laughter:

"I knew you kid was going to be startled, this is the first fully intelligent amphibious assault boat in Water City, and the artificial intelligence level is one level higher than that of your Uncle Bai. I've already entered your identity information into its smart chip. ”

"Wow. Qiu Shuyu's eyes lit up: "Can it still fly?"

"Of course, the 'Treading Wave' can travel at a maximum speed of 200 kilometers per hour on the water, and the low-altitude flight speed is also more than 300 kilometers per hour, but this flight speed is limited to low altitude within 100 meters above the water. Lin Ran raised his eyebrows: "Let's go, sit down and feel it." Let me take a look at the assault boat developed by the director of the scientific research institute. ”

"Open the door!" Lin Ran gave an order, and the hatches on both sides of the "Treading Wave" folded open like butterfly wings, and there were exactly three seats in the boat, and the three of them sat in the boat at the same time. Lin Ran, as the owner, of course, sat in the driver's cab

The interior decoration of the "Treading Waves" is almost the same as the previous Mo Zihan's own speedboat, but the cushion behind him is more comfortable than before, and Mo Zihan relaxes and lies on the soft seat.

"Boy, where are you going again?" A man's magnetic voice sounded in the cabin, and he couldn't help but say, this is also an artificial intelligence, but the way this artificial intelligence speaks is much smoother and more natural than that of the sluggish Uncle Bai.

Qiu Shuyu saw Lin Ran's helpless expression through the reflector in the cab, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Lin Ran, why is this artificial intelligence talking so special?"

"These intelligent voices are all taken from my father, can it not be special. Lin Ran explained helplessly: "The director of a research institute is still afraid that his son will cause trouble outside, so he doesn't trust me at all." To develop an assault boat, you also need to input your own consciousness. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you kid, tell me where you're going. The man's tone on the stereo was rather impatient.

Lin Ran took out the order: "One hundred and sixty-one villas in the eastern suburbs. Turn on airplane mode. ”

As soon as Lin Ran's words fell, the "Treading Waves" turned the bow of the ship, and the turbines on both sides spun rapidly, speeding towards the gate of the explorer's house.

The sun outside the gate was just right, and the "Treading Waves" was speeding in the low air 50 meters above the water, Mo Zihan looked back, and two long waves had stirred up on the sparkling water. As far as the eye can see, there are only a handful of vehicles in the entire city that can fly out of the water.

"Because there is a speed limit for flying vehicles in the city, we can only fly at a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour. Lin Ran pointed to the speed display on the screen and said.

"Sleeping Dragon, the more I think about it, the more I feel that something is wrong, is this a commission that our newcomers can accept?"

Mo Zihan was staring at the small number of words of the commission all the way, you must know that in his impression thinking, the word "dragon" has always been mysterious and desirable. Although he is currently in the world thirty years later, this kind of legendary thing will only appear, which also makes Mo Zihan feel a little timid at this moment.

"No, this is a B-level commission, even if it is ranked in order, it is only second in this ABC. Lin Ran sat in the cab and waved his hand at Mo Zihan and Qiu Shuyu in the back row and said.

"But, don't you think it's strange?" Qiu Shuyu said, "The client can even provide a specific address, so why do you entrust the explorers?"

"That's not simple, maybe this client is an unarmed ordinary citizen, helpless in the face of this 'dragon', so he came to entrust us. Lin Ran didn't seem to be worried about the difficulty of the commission.

As the son of the director of the scientific research institute under the Explorers Association, he has been accustomed to a life of abundant food and clothing since he was a child, although he is usually very informal, but after all, he is already a man over twenty years old, so after a while, even Lin Ran himself found something illogical.

"That's not right," Lin Ran touched the back of his head: "The sleeping dragon, how can it be regarded as a 'new creature' after the disaster, how can it be in the villa area?"

Qiu Shuyu also said: "You just reacted, the eastern suburbs of the mountain is one of the four major water purification plants, even if there are those newborn beasts, they should have been captured a long time ago, the water purification plant is a key protection area." ”

"Oh, no matter what, it's coming, it's coming, and if it comes, it's safe. ”

Lin Ran hated thinking too much, and just waved his hand to interrupt the conversation between the two.

Mo Zihan pointed to a verdant hillside in the distance.

"Are we there?"

A few miles away, the hill is about 100 meters above the water, it is not a majestic mountain, but it also has a unique scenery, the grass in the mountain is tender and green, and the lush green covers the entire hillside, and there are not many trees, and there are only 100 trees as far as the eye can see.

The speed of the "Treading Waves" slowed down more and more, and it was only recently that I saw that a road had been built on this hillside that was not in the city.

"I can only send you here, the eastern suburbs of the mountain is a forbidden area for flying. ”

Lin Ran's father's voice echoed in the small cabin. With that, the Treading Wave stopped at the beginning of the road, by a small pier.

The three of them jumped out of the cabin and stood on the rare asphalt road, Mo Zihan didn't expect that after a long time of absence, in this water city thirty years later, he could still stand on a solid road with both feet.

And Qiu Shuyu was even more exaggerated, stood on the road with both feet and stomped hard, looked up at the two people beside him in surprise and said:

"Is this what my father called an asphalt road? The first time I stepped on this kind of road, I used to see it in a book. ”

"I've heard that before the floods, our city was full of these roads. ”

Lin Ran even squatted down and touched it with his hands.

Mo Zihan stood in place and looked at the two people in front of him blankly, you must know that their behavior was in his own era, and they had to be seen as crazy. Mo Zihan turned around and looked at the endless ocean behind him, and thought about it, this may be the result of the change of things and the vicissitudes of life.

"Let's go!"

Mo Zihan pulled the two of them like children and walked towards the front of the road.

It was noon, and the sun was shining down from the sky above the trio's heads, leaving the water, where the temperature was much warmer than in the center of the city.

The road on the hillside was winding, and stones of different shapes grew in the green grass on both sides, Mo Zihan waved his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, and walked at the front of the line.

"I'm surprised," Lin Ran took out the entrustment slip and said: "There are one hundred and sixty-one villas in the eastern suburbs, and there is not a single grass house in this wilderness. ”

Qiu Shuyu took out his mobile phone and fiddled with his fingers for a long time: "I can only find the eastern suburbs of the mountain in my navigation, and there is no villa area at all." ”

"Have we been tricked?" Lin Ran looked around with his hands on his hips.

"Probably not, all the commissions have been verified by the association, and there have been no false commissions so far. Qiu Shuyu hurriedly reassured.

"Keep walking. ”

Mo Zihan likes to break the casserole to the end, and when he saw the two grinding and chirping behind him, he stopped, and kept urging in front of him, at this moment, he couldn't wait to see the true face of the sleeping dragon.

The mountain road was tortuous, the sun was shining, and Lin Ran, who was rarely hiking, dragged his slightly obese body, and limped behind Mo Zihan under the support of the autumn rain.

"I said Xiao Mo, when did you practice this physical fitness, we have been walking for more than an hour, let's rest for a while. ”

Lin Ran gasped, broke free of Qiu Shuyu's support, and sat on a stone on the side of the road.

Mo Zihan was a mountain climber in the past, and this little distance was a piece of cake for him, but when Lin Ran was resting, Mo Zihan seemed to be able to feel an unprecedented sense of fatigue from his body.

Only then did he remember that the body he was currently occupying was not his original Mo Zihan, but a kid named Mo Chenfeng with the same surname as himself. He exercised vigorously according to his previous habits, and now the owner of this body can't bear it at all, thinking about it, Mo Zihan also sat cross-legged on the side of the road and rested.

And the autumn rain on the side didn't know where to get the strength, and there was no sense of exhaustion, and he walked forward in a hurry.

"I don't think it's a show, except for stones and grass along the way. That's how our first commission came to naught. ”

Lin Ran was lying on the edge of the stone, looking dejected.

"I said how can you be positive for a while and negative for a while, can you unify your emotions. ”

"Xiao Mo, don't you know?" Lin Ran turned over and sat up: "There are four major water purification plants around our city: the eastern suburbs, the south bank, the west embankment and the north slope. It has always been a key protected area, and it stands to reason that no one will live there. ”

"You know now? You had a different attitude when I gave you the order. Mo Zihan gave Lin Ran a big white eye.

"Well, haven't I been tempted by the bounty on the commission? Besides, Lin Ran stretched out his hand and pointed at Mo Zihan: "Xiao Mo, you have no objection, when you accept the commission, you must have forgotten that you are a little white now, what ability is there, if you really meet a strong enemy, we will only have to run away." ”

Listening to Lin Ran's words, Mo Zihan thought about it, Lin Ran was for a reward, and he was just to see what strange creatures were in this new world, and in the end, he didn't resist the temptation.

Suddenly, Mo Zihan remembered what Shirley had told him before he came, and after thinking about it, he picked up a small pebble on the side of the road and swiped it vigorously in the palm of his hand, and the pain instantly surged into his brain, and a white mark appeared on the friction between his palm and the stone.

It seems that his ability to be steel and iron in the last dream has disappeared, Mo Zihan quietly threw down the stone, looked at Lin Ran who was paralyzed on the ground and said:

"I just want to see what kind of demon this sleeping dragon is. ”

"Haha, Xiao Mo, your personality is really similar to your father. Lin Ran smiled and sat up from the ground.

"My dad?"

"yes, if only my uncle were still here. The smile on Lin Ran's face gradually disappeared, and he looked up at the sky and said, "Your father is a hero, a hero of the City of Water. ”

In his own life, Mo Zihan is a child who has hardly seen his father since he was a child, and he didn't expect that thirty years later, he would cross over to occupy someone else's body, and he was also a master whose father was gone.

At this moment, Mo Zihan's mood can only be described as helpless, he even wanted to tell the young man in front of him the truth that he came here, if according to the point in time, he came here thirty years ago, Lin Ran would have to call himself uncle.

"Little Brother Mo!"

On the other side of the road, there was the call of autumn rain. Mo Zihan turned over and looked towards the source of the sound, and hundreds of meters away, the blue-haired girl was waving at the two. Mo Zihan comprehended, kicked up Lin Ran, who was lying on the ground, and rushed towards the location where Qiu Shuyu was.

"Little Brother Mo, look at it. ”

As soon as the two of them ran into place, they saw Qiu Shuyu's eyes shining brightly, pointing to a wooden sign on the side of the road.

The wooden sign is in the shape of an arrow, and it looks unpretentious on the outside, supported by a wooden stick and stuck in the grass by the roadside.

Contrary to the plain appearance, there are four big words written on the wooden sign: Do not enter!

Looking up, in the direction pointed by the wooden arrow, a huge idyllic villa stood impressively in front of the three of them.
