Chapter 21: The Benefits of Tails
I don't know if it's because the guard has always been loyal, or because the 'flashlight' aroused his ambition, after returning the flashlight to Shennong, the fourth child immediately urged Shennong to set off, looking more anxious than Shennong and Zhurong.
But that's fine, it's exactly what the two of them want.
As the old saying goes, it's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles.
Although Shennong was familiar with the structural diagram of the underground base, he memorized every passage and every turning point in his mind. However, don't forget that memories can become blurry over time. Although Shennong is very confident in his memory and will not make mistakes in the general direction, the speed of recognizing and guiding the way is still far inferior to the four and five guards, who often train in various environments in Area B.
And now with these two guards guiding the way, the speed of progress can be said to have skyrocketed, and in a short time, they were out of the Paris district of France and into the Tokyo district of Japan.
In this man-made underground city full of Japanese-style buildings, Shennong and his party of four unexpectedly found footprints belonging to strange beasts. Although there are not many footprints left here, it should be just some fish that have slipped through the net, but after the fourth and fifth guards saw it, those bad memories full of blood and tears came to their hearts, and they were immediately anxious, eager to chase the footprints away immediately.
But they didn't dare.
The captain told them that along the way, they must keep an eye on Shennong and Zhurong at all times, and as long as Shennong and Zhurong did not do anything out of the ordinary, they must follow the orders of the two. That is to say, as long as Shennong and Zhurong are unwilling to be distracted, then they can only continue to hurry.
It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders.
At this time, the fourth and fifth guards looked at Shen Nong at the same time.
I saw that after Shennong was silent for a while, he didn't turn his head and set off again without saying a word.
The direction of progress is the direction of the next area, which is diametrically opposed to the direction of the beast's footprints.
After discovering this, the hearts of the two hot-blooded guards sank, but they still followed closely behind Shennong and the others without hesitation, and marched with them.
Luckily, they didn't have long to walk before they encountered guards stationed in Tokyo Ward.
The dozens of Tokyo guards were all armed with firearms, in groups of two, back to back, and the soft silver armor on their bodies was shiny and smooth, without scars, and it was obvious that they had not yet encountered the strange beasts and had no battles.
After discovering Shennong's group of four, these Tokyo guards immediately rushed over, surrounded the four of them, and illuminated the faces of the four with infrared rays placed in their helmets.
The guards of each sub-district were like brothers, and the guards of the Paris sub-district were the fourth and fifth, and they were recognized by the Tokyo guards at a glance. As for Shennong and Zhurong...... Although the guards are dedicated to protecting the base, it is rare to leave the area of Area B, but the name of the Scar is too loud, and they naturally know the appearance and characteristics of the two Scar People in the base.
After identifying the true identity of the group, the captain of the Tokyo team squeezed out of the crowd and asked about the purpose and reason of the trip, just like the captain of the previous Paris team.
Shennong wanted to answer, but unexpectedly, the fourth and fifth guards took the lead, and respectively told everything that happened in the Alien Beast Research Institute in Area C, the situation in the Paris Division, and even all the lies that Shennong casually said.
When the captain of the Tokyo squad heard this, he only groaned for a moment, and then immediately ordered the team to put up a defensive lineup, always on guard against the opportunity for strange beasts to sneak attack. At the same time, with a wave of his arm, the captain of Tokyo waved his arm, and the guard team gave way for Shennong's group to leave without saying a word.
Happiness came too easily, Shennong and Zhu Rong even couldn't believe it, they thought that even if they had won the trust of the Paris division team, it would still take a lot of lip service to make the Tokyo team trust......
In fact, this is mainly because Shennong and Zhurong don't know that although the mainland realm in Area B is divided into countless regions, and each region also has its own captain, the guard team is still one, regardless of each other. As long as one of the captains agrees to a certain person's passage, then, no matter how ridiculous it is, no matter how ridiculous it is, the captains of the other divisions will agree, and vice versa.
Although they didn't know it, they still had to take the way to go, so Shennong and Zhu Rong walked out of the monitoring range of the Tokyo team together with the fourth and fifth guards in apprehension, and escaped into the darkness again, like a fish in water.
It wasn't until they left far away that Shennong's mood slowly eased, but at this time, they had already left the scope of the Tokyo subdivision of Japan and entered the New York subdivision of the United States.
In the same way, on their way forward, they also encountered the guards stationed here.
As always, the fourth and fifth representatives of the guards spoke, and the captain was silent, and finally ordered the team to make way to the next area.
And this time, Shennong and the others were already mentally prepared, and after thanking the captain of the New York team with a smile, they swaggered through the guard team and continued to move forward.
Next, Thailand's Bangkok Division, North Korea's Pyongyang Division, Sweden's Stockholm Division, and other areas, with the help of the fourth guard and the fifth guard, are indeed unimpeded. In this way, it can be said that the efficiency is doubled, and the result is doubled with half the effort, and even the stubborn Zhu Rong has changed his mind and secretly praised the benefits of these two little tails with Shennong.
I thought it was a burden that got in the way, but it became the key to clearing the customs.
At this time, this group of people has come to the end of the mainland - Sanya, China.
After coming here, Shennong was very excited, and his pace accelerated, and he had to move forward according to the planned route. Unexpectedly, the fourth guard suddenly stopped and pointed out that Shennong took a road that deviated from the direction, saying that it was a shortcut.
Shennong hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to believe the fourth child and reversed his direction.
After all, the matter has come to this point, and the fourth child has no reason to deceive them, so ...... Naturally, they will not be deceived. At this time, according to the route said by the fourth child, it only took about half of the time planned, and they came to the 'end of the earth'.
A group of four people carrying Maling Mountain, the light hits in front, although the sea that should be endless can only see the edges and corners, but looking at it from a distance, you can also see the vastness of the smoke waves, the white sails are dotted, and the sea and sky are one color. And with their eyes slightly closed and listening carefully to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach, even Shennong, who was a fugitive, suddenly felt a wide mood and felt a lot more comfortable.
"Let's go, time is pressing, we still have a few more environments to get through and build a defensive line before the enemy invades." Shennong was the first to react and urged.
"Hmm." Zhu Rong answered in a deep voice, and immediately walked forward.
After that, the four men walked along the coastline, and soon saw countless boulders standing on the beach of the bay, and the famous and unheard "pillar of the southern sky" stood out in the middle of it, surrounded by coconut groves. And on the edge of the 'One Pillar', dozens of speedboats that can fit just four people are docked there, floating up and down with the swaying of the waves.
Shennong knew that these speedboats were one of the tools to leave the mainland and go to the ocean realm.
Shennong couldn't wait, walked away quickly, and just jumped on one of the speedboats, he heard the fourth guard say behind him: "Hey? Old Five, why is there one less speedboat here? ”
After being silent for a while, Lao Wu replied with some hesitation: "I don't know either." But I thought, maybe when the base was changing, the guards in a certain area drove away and went to the command room to ask why, right? ”
"Oh, it's true that there is a possibility, but ......" Listening to the fourth child's tone, he seemed to be a little skeptical, "We have come all the way, and we haven't heard of the captain of any division sending someone to the ocean realm." Hey, forget it, forget it, no matter. But at this time, he didn't think much about it, and as soon as he finished speaking, he stepped out of his legs and boarded the speedboat with the others.
After the personnel were assembled, Chief Shennong took a breath and walked to the bow of the boat to 'try' to pilot the speedboat for the first time.
Unexpectedly, before Shennong walked over, he was stopped by the fifth guard, "Shennong, later, let the fourth child drive this speedboat." Although there is nothing in this sea area yet, once you reach the 'Ocean Realm', everything will be different. You may not know that the 'ocean realm' seems to be quiet and peaceful, but in fact, it is full of dangers, and there are endless reefs, whirlpools, and even sea beasts. If you don't have enough experience, it's very easy to shipwreck. ”
Hearing this, before Shennong could answer, the fourth guard had already crossed Shennong and sat in the driver's seat.
Immediately afterwards, the fourth man turned around violently, gave a thumbs up to everyone, and said: "Shennong, Zhurong, if you talk about combat effectiveness, we are indeed far inferior to you." However, we are highly trained in the use of firearms, the handling of machines, and the mastery of the environment. ”
"We're better than you."
After that, the fourth turned around, and at the same time kicked the accelerator with his right foot, the originally calm hull suddenly began to tremble violently, and two dazzling yellow lights lit up at the bow of the boat, dispelling the large darkness in front of him in an instant, and shining the beauty of the beach clearly, "Fortunately, there is reserve energy in the speedboat, and it will not be unusable because the system is paralyzed, otherwise, even we don't know how to get over." ”
Before the words fell, the fourth man casually pushed the gear, and the speedboat turned into a sharp arrow, swishing forward, leaving two lines of deep white water tumbling traces.
Just when the situation was changing rapidly and the whirring wind was whirling wildly in his ears, Shennong, who was frozen in place, didn't know why, and suddenly wanted to say four words seriously to the fourth and fifth children.
Thank you.
