Ivan's head was bleeding profusely, and I hurriedly took out a first-aid kit from the Humvee's compartment and bandaged him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info Fortunately, I opened his hair that was charred by the muzzle flame to look for the wound and found that he was only torn by the muzzle storm on his scalp, and the wound was not deep, because the scalp was rich in blood vessels and the blood flowed endlessly. I took out the hemostatic powder, sprinkled it on it, and then pressed it with a bandage, and he stopped bleeding.

But at this time, Ivan still had not fully recovered from the shock, and his legs were trembling. I comforted him and said, "Okay, you've escaped." Rest assured, we will take you to Lavona. ”

Ivan trembled and said, "Thank God I'm still alive." You're Jack. Friend of the week? "Jack. Zhou is the big four-eyed, and I nodded in confirmation.

At this time, Nicol yelled from the driver's seat: "Hey, Ivan! Tell me which streets in the city have more cars, we need to blend in with the traffic to try to be as unobtrusive as possible! ”

I hurriedly stretched out the map in front of his eyes to show him where we were, and Ivan looked at it and pointed to a main road.

I opened the wallet I had found from Ivan's kidnapper and poured out the contents, some cash and a few cards, but nothing to identify myself. I rummaged through these things and said to Ivan, "The people who hunted you are mysterious, they can hide their identities. ”

"But they are no ordinary killers," Ivan said. Trust me, they're really strong. After learning about the other people's accidents, I changed several places to live, but they all found me. I suspect they found me through a network of government departments. They are everywhere, and now we may still be under their watch! ”

"Pervasive?" I asked him, "Doesn't that mean that your phone call to Jack might have been in their possession as well?" ”

Ivan said: "I don't know. But trust me, I've gotten rid of all traces that might cause trouble for others, even my computer hard drive has been roasted in the microwave. I guess they didn't kill me on the spot, they just wanted to catch me and torture me for the information they wanted. ”

If he really thinks that he has cleaned up all traces, then he is still a person who is very responsible for his friends, and this kind of person is worth saving. As for what the consequences will bring, we can only talk about it later.

The Hummer turned onto a road, and Nicol scolded, "Fake! Isn't this the Internet Avenue? Didn't you say there are a lot of cars here? ”

I'm wondering in my heart. This is indeed the Internet Avenue, Ivan just pointed to here, is he pointing wrong?

Seeing that I was looking at him with an innocent face, Ivan said, "This is a road with a lot of cars." The city has long since been free of cars, that was a long time ago. ”

I asked, "Because programmers can work from home?" ”

Ivan pointed to the empty building on the side of the road: "No! Because a lot of programmers have emigrated. Programmers can work from home, of course, on the other side of the world, as long as the internet is fast and stable. In this case, it is natural for them to choose a safer and easier place to live. Recently, there have been problems with the Internet in the United States, so more and more people choose to immigrate. Since there weren't enough programmers here, the companies moved away. So the city is turning into a ghost town. ”

I wondered, "Why is it never mentioned in the news?" ”

Ivan sneered, pulled the wound and grinned in pain: "Why do you want the people to know about this?" You must know that these high-tech industries used to be the pride of the United States, and they are one of the few industries in the United States that can make money now. Let the people know that these high-tech industries are leaving the United States, what will they think? ”

I said, "So the city is ......."

Nicol abruptly interrupted our conversation. She roared, "This is not the time to discuss these things! Think about what to do now! ”

If there weren't many people in the city anymore, we wouldn't be able to cover us with traffic. I had no choice but to say, "Let's get out of the city and go to Jinshan City." ”

Seeing that I had been keeping an eye on the surveillance cameras on the side of the road, Ivan said, "Are you worried about these cameras? It doesn't matter. Few of these cameras work because of the lack of maintenance. We just need to bypass a few cameras. ”

So, under Ivan's guidance, Nicol drove out of the city and went straight to Jinshan City, and the road was very peaceful. Because Ivan kept talking about how good his pursuers were, I went straight to the safe house where Big Eye had let me hide last time. There I carefully retreated Ivan's wound and stayed there for the night.

From the TV news, we saw reporters reporting on the shooting on Silicon Valley's Program Ape Street, but the reporter said that there were no bodies and no wounded at the scene, so the reporter suspected that it was a premeditated vendetta between gangs.

It seems that these people are tough and have dealt with the scene before the police arrived. To do this, you really need to be very capable.

We were supposed to stay in the safe house for two more days under these circumstances, but a militia was set up in the area where the safe house was located, and people came to inquire about it more than an hour after we arrived. Luckily, I've cleaned up all the blood stains on Ivan's back seat of the Humvee so that nothing can be seen. The two militiamen left after I said we were going to stay at a friend's house for one night.

So the next morning we drove back to Lavona. This time we chose to bypass Silicon Valley and go straight to San Jose and take Highway 101. Highway 101 is the middle of three side-by-side highways between Lavona and Silicon Valley, and is neither as straight as Highway 5 nor completely winds along the coastline as the Coast Highway. The important thing is that there are a lot of cars on Highway 101, and there are many cities along the way, so if we stop along the way, it will not be too conspicuous.

It was a quiet ride, but when we listened to the news on the car radio, we learned that the FBI had set up raids on major roads in Silicon Valley since yesterday to investigate street shootings. In this way, the pursuers of Ivan may think that we are still hiding in the city of Silicon Valley. The three of us breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason I had the feeling of being watched from time to time since I drove up Highway 101. Whenever I felt this way, I looked around cautiously but I didn't find anything out of the ordinary, so I had to put it down to nervousness.

It was already early afternoon and we were about to reach Zuaro, and the traffic in front of us suddenly slowed down, so we had to slow down to 20 miles and move slowly. At first, we thought there was a traffic accident causing congestion, but on the right side of the Hummer there was a large truck like Optimus Prime, and the driver was sitting high and looking far away. The driver leaned out of the cab, looked around, and shouted anxiously, "Is something big wrong?" Why are so many police officers raiding on the highway? Isn't this creating traffic jams! ”

"Inspect the vehicle?" Nicol and I looked at each other, and both felt that something was wrong.
