I don't know why the strange boss and lady helped us, but they did do it on purpose, especially with Tully's last seemingly unintentional sentence, which was actually telling me where Mark and his gang were.

I watched the mercenaries get farther and farther away, billowing smoke and dust rolling up behind them, and suddenly found that there was a big problem in front of me, more than 200 kilometers of desert, and I didn't have a car, should I go through the desert on foot, this is ridiculous, even if I can stand Heidi, I can't stand it.

"Oh God!" I took a deep breath and patted my head, letting out a feeble sigh.

I turned around and was about to discuss with Heidi, when suddenly the sound of the engine started came into my ears, and I turned my head in the direction where the sound came from.

"Huh! What a send-off! I smiled to myself and walked over to the boss.

"Why do you want to help us?" I didn't say the car directly, because I think this car is for us.

The boss was silent for a moment, then took off his oil-stained gloves and still had them on his side, took out a box of cigarettes from his arms, and took out a cigarette and wanted to throw it to me, but his hand stopped halfway through, hesitated for a moment, and put it in his mouth.

Leaning on the car, the boss spat out his cigarette and said lightly: "How do you know that I'm not harming you?" ”

"Intuition!" I smiled wryly and took out a cigarette and lit it myself.

"You believe in that kind of thing, too?" The boss had a look of disdain.

"Faith, it has saved me countless times!" I leaned on the car door and said lightly, it is because of this terrifying intuition cultivated on the battlefield, the perception of danger is far higher than that of ordinary people, that we can escape death again and again.

"But I don't think your instincts can be trusted." The boss looked at me and said.

"I never doubted it!" I think the boss is a little inexplicable, and what he says is even more incomprehensible, as if it has a deep meaning, and it seems to be bland.

"Really? Maybe one day you'll agree with me. The boss smiled lightly.

"If there is a day, it will be when I die." For people like us, the loss of perception of danger means that death is near.

Hearing this, the boss looked up and looked at me for a moment, and I felt that there were many stories in his eyes, and the vicissitudes of life and death can only be understood by people who have experienced countless lives and deaths.

He looked at me with no hostility, but deep down I had an inexplicable feeling that I had something to do with this guy at some time and somewhere, but I swear I've never seen this guy in my military career.

After a moment of silence, the boss suddenly sighed, and said with a dull look: "I haven't helped anyone, but I can't get used to the behavior of some people. ”

"I'm a dead man for a long time, and it doesn't matter where this skin is." I laughed self-deprecatingly, for a person whose heart is dead, there is no difference between life and death.

"Since you have to go to death, then please!" The boss said this lightly and left, and when he passed by me, he threw the car keys over.

"Thanks!" I smiled with the key, and the boss waved his hand without replying, saying, "Remember, we don't have anything to do with each other, and you don't have to come back." ”

"What a strange guy!" I looked at his back and muttered to myself.

Holding the car keys, pulling the door and sitting in the driver's seat, although the car was broken, in the state of the engine, it was not a problem to run hundreds of kilometers.

Start the engine, bang the throttle twice, listen to the sound feels very reliable, the boss's car repair skills are good, such a broken thing can be brought back to life.

Getting out of the car, I waved at Heidi, who was talking to Tali, who trotted over with our backpacks, and hesitated when she saw the broken car when she got closer.

"Are you sure you want to drive this car on the road?" Heidi looked at me reluctantly.

"You can choose to walk, I'm not against it!" I took my backpack and went around the back to open the trunk, which contained gasoline, food, and a large bucket of water, and when I saw this, I was a little suspicious of the identity of the boss, as if everything was premeditated.

"Forget it, my leg is about to break." Heidi complained and jumped into the car.

Putting down the trunk, I looked up and saw that the boss and Tali had gone back to the house, and there was no one around, giving me a sense of unreality, as if nothing had happened just now.

Standing by the car door, taking a deep breath, shaking your head vigorously, letting go of all those messy thoughts, the most important thing now is to catch up with those bastards.

Sitting in the driver's seat, gearing, refueling, the car slowly left the tavern and drove into the desert in the direction where Mark and the gang left.

In the rearview mirror, the tavern gradually disappeared from view, and for some reason, I felt the urge to go back, as if something was pulling me there, and the inexplicable feeling even felt ridiculous to myself.

When the tavern was completely gone, I stepped on the gas pedal and the car let out a roar, accelerated wildly, and rushed in the direction of Zuwara.

The mercenaries had been gone for a while, but I wasn't in a hurry, and even if they caught up with me, they wouldn't have a chance to strike, and if they saw someone following, they would have opened fire, and it was even worse, I just had to get to Zuwara before dark, a town near the border, where the guys would definitely rest.

The car has a lot of horsepower, it is effortless to drive in the desert, and the car is also equipped with a navigation system, which is too important for us, at least we don't have to worry about getting lost in the desert.

Heidi was quite energetic at first, and after walking for more than an hour, she fell asleep on the back of her chair, and I turned my head to see that the woman was still drooling, which was really speechless.

After four hours of walking, I finally broke out of the desert and onto a bumpy dirt road, and according to the directions on the map, we were less than ten kilometers from Zuwara, and I slowed down and kept my eyes on my surroundings.

I'm already close to the target location, and I may run into those mercenaries at any time, so I need to act stealthily and not expose myself for the time being.

The car staggered forward, because it was too bumpy, Heidi, who had slept all afternoon, finally woke up, wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, opened her eyes in a daze, looked around, and asked blankly, "What kind of place is this?" ”

"It's New York, you're almost home!" I made a joke.

"Oh!" Heidi rubbed her sleepy eyes, habitually responded, and after a few seconds, she suddenly reacted and shouted, "What did you say?" New York? Aren't we going to Zuwara? ”

"So you remember, I slept like a dead pig!" I rolled my eyes and cursed.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm so tired!" Heidi smiled sheepishly.
