Section 1 Back to 1893
When Qin Lang finally realized what was going to happen......
It's already late. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Despite the brakes, the military truck he was driving crashed into the four-wheeled carriage that suddenly appeared at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, and then ran over the wreckage of the carriage amid the screams of people, the neighing of horses, and the cracking of wood chips and other things, and continued to move forward for more than 100 meters under the action of inertia before coming to a submissive stop.
"Damn it......" Qin Lang shouted angrily in the cab. From the screams he had just heard, he could have concluded that the passengers in the carriage had already suffered misfortune - they must all have died, or, although they were still alive, they were mortally wounded and dying.
He hated the accident. Although he didn't care about the life or death of the passengers in the carriage, such a serious traffic accident would definitely draw the police over.
And for Qin Lang, the police mean disaster.
A catastrophe that would have earned him a heavy sentence.
The HEMTT-LHS heavy truck that Qin Lang was driving was a military vehicle that had been lost at a U.S. military base in Iraq two months ago, along with several illegally possessed automatic weapons and 2,000 rounds of ammunition in the cab — but none of them were lethal; What would have sentenced him to a heavy sentence was the special cargo on board: in addition to 1,200 gallons of diesel fuel, another 3,000 rounds of ammunition, 29 boxes of mineral water, and food for 12 people for a month, he also had some diamonds.
To be exact, a bag of rough diamonds that had not yet been processed, the former was the goods he transported, and the ten carats of diamonds, the latter was his reward.
--Qin Lang, Chinese, graduated from Florida State University College of Engineering, bachelor of engineering, member of a diamond smuggling organization, 24 years old, no smoking, almost no drinking, unmarried.
So he didn't want to see the police at all.
And he is hiding from the Namibian secret police.
Qin Lang's diamond smuggling organization obtained a batch of diamond blanks worth a total of 50 million euros in Namibia a few days ago, but unfortunately, the Namibian government, which has a nose more sensitive than a hunting dog, blocked airports, ports and roads, set up checkpoints at border checkpoints, and dispatched all secret police in just one hour.
Under such circumstances, the smuggling organization had to adopt a pre-established contingency plan: all personnel were in 14 cars carrying some of the original diamonds, and they were on their own to find a safe route from Namibia to South Africa; And in order to ensure that each vehicle has a chance to reach its destination, four of the fourteen vehicles are supply vehicles carrying fuel, ammunition, water and food, and when there is a vehicle that needs to be refilled, the nearest one can be contacted by radio......
Of course, the use of radio will make it possible to lure the secret police, and perhaps members of the group who have already been arrested will be used as bait by the police, and there may even be people who will offer help to the police after being arrested in exchange for a lighter punishment.
Of course, there will be some other possibilities - for example, Qin Lang often thinks about whether he will not be able to bear the pressure and voluntarily surrender to the police.
But now he wasn't ready to do that; Now he wants to be able to get the rough diamond safely to its destination. Between prison and wealth, he prefers the latter.
He......
Qin Lang suddenly realized that he had wasted nothing in the cab...... Five minutes. After determining that the time had not passed long, he was a little relieved. "I must get out of here immediately." He restarted the car, but then turned off the engine again.
The car accident just now...... Although Africa is the poorest and most backward region in the world, the carriage? It's so weird!
"How could I have hit a wagon?" He wanted to know.
Sitting in the cab and speculating wildly, it is obviously impossible to find the answer. QIN LANG GRABBED THE BUSHMASTER SIXTEEN-INCH HEAVY BARREL CARBINE PLACED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, PULLED THE CAR DOOR AND JUMPED DOWN, AND REFLEXIVELY WALKED TOWARDS THE WRECKAGE OF THE CARRIAGE THAT HAD BEEN CRUSHED TO PIECES.
He walked over slowly, with a palpable caution.
About thirty meters away from the wreckage, Qin Lang stopped. It was close enough that he could clearly see three bloody bodies crushed by the wheels—two adults, a man and a woman, and a little girl. It is no longer possible to tell the identity of the deceased, but it can still be seen that they are all Caucasian.
A white family wandering the Namibian highlands in a horse-drawn carriage? He was incomprehensible, but what was even more strange was that the clothes they wore and the clothes scattered around them were all typical of the nineteenth century. It's weird.
Who else wears and carries nineteenth-century costumes besides filming? But if it's a company making a movie, where are the crew?
If there really were any crew members, they should have shown up and called for help a long time ago.
So what's going on now?
Qin Lang shook his head in confusion, and then continued to look for clues in the wreckage. A second later, he saw a downward lever-fired repeating rifle that was very popular in the mid-to-late nineteenth century. Although he was not very reluctant, he walked over and picked it up.
Although the body of the gun was broken, after a few seconds, he recognized that it was a Winchester M1876 sporting rifle that used 0.45-75 caliber rounds, and it was by no means a replica - the most obvious difference between the two was the stock, the original M1876 used walnut, while the imitation model used European beech.
He trusts his own judgment. Qin Lang has been a gun fan since he was five years old, and he also joined the National Rifle Association in his sophomore year of college. And as far as his entire study career at Florida State University is concerned, in addition to the school and apartment, his daily activities are only limited to shooting ranges and gun shops - so Qin Lang is very familiar with the various guns sold in the market.
Now he realizes that no one who can afford a Winchester M1876, whether it is an original or a replica, will be wandering around Namibia in a horse-drawn carriage; Even if someone is bored and wants to pursue a special mood, he can't bring his family with him.
This question made Qin Lang very uneasy. Although it was not clear what exactly happened, he was already feeling very bad.
"I need more leads." He told himself and forced himself to walk over to the three bodies. After frowning and searching the body of the male owner of the carriage for a short while, Qin Lang found some coins in his jacket pocket and several ...... that had been soaked in blood National Bank Bills?
It's a national bank bill!
According to his brief understanding of the U.S. currency, since 1935, all National Bank bills have been withdrawn and no longer issued, and the dollar notes issued after 1945 are almost exclusively Federal Reserve Bills...... So, who can travel to Africa with a national bank voucher now?
Qin Lang realized that he was in big trouble.
Horse-drawn carriages, quirky families dressed in nineteenth-century costumes, antique rifles, and obsolete dollar bills...... When all of this is put together, and a little imagination is added, he gets two possibilities: the white family that has ascended to heaven has unexpectedly gone from the end of the nineteenth century to the beginning of the twenty-first century; He unexpectedly returned to the end of the nineteenth century from the beginning of the twenty-first century without knowing it.
Now the situation is, which answer is correct?
There is a way to prove it. There was a radio on the truck, and if he could contact a member of the group or someone else, even the police, it would indicate that the first answer was correct; But if it's the other way around, then ......
Regardless of the final result, he decided to take this test.
But Qin Lang was stunned as soon as he turned around.
- On the back of his truck hung a large white wooden sign that read, in red paint: "You've crossed!" ”
He stared dumbfounded at the red notice on the wooden sign, not knowing what to do now, or nothing at all. He was shocked, but not because he had returned to the terrible reality of the nineteenth century, but because he ...... Who hung this sign on the back of the truck?
Prank or not, in any case, it is certain that the guy who hangs the wooden sign to the back of the car is either capable or a bastard - if he hangs the wooden sign to the back of the car while the truck is moving at full speed, it shows that he is very capable; If he didn't put up a wooden sign until the truck stopped because it crashed into a wagon, it only showed that he was a jerk.
Of course, the biggest possibility is that he is a powerful bastard.
When he was thinking so, Qin Lang was also slowly walking towards the wooden sign on the back of the truck, and then he vaguely saw that there seemed to be some words under the red; And by the time he reached only ten meters from the back of the car, the words had become extremely clear.
"Dear Earth Friends, I have sent you back to your 1893 A.D. Enjoy, don't thank me. This is the first line, as if it were a note, or description, and the next line is a caption: "A boring time traveler." ”
“Son.of.the.bitch!” Qin Lang, who was angry, raised his middle finger.
