The green leaves fell off the branches, and in the sunlight slowly drifted down the yellow dotted line in the middle of the road, and a wheel ran over it, rolling it up and throwing it into the lane on the other side.

A bus with the words 'Tourist Loop' honked its horn, buzzed through a curve, lit up its right turn lights, entered the toll booth, and exited the highway intersection.

The MV is playing in the middle of the aisle, melodious and soothing music is coming out, and there are many vacant seats on both sides, where the figures sit in twos and threes, looking at the scenery along the way.

"Mother-in-law, where are we going, I'm afraid it's two hours to go out of Jiaohe County, right?"

Wang Suhua was also in the car, she and her wife were picked up from Tongshan Town the night before, and they were a little reluctant to go so far at the beginning, but Xia Jianbin heard that his son Xia was also abroad, so he pulled her into the car, and didn't even bring a change of clothes.

Of course, the clothes didn't need to be prepared by them, and when they went out, Zhou Jin bought a few pieces for the two old men along the way.

"I don't know, just say that the two dolls are abroad, miss us, let us all go over together, isn't this just coming directly, that Xiao Zhou should know, right?"

Wang Suhua glanced at the woman who was sleeping in the seat of the bus, and leaned closer to the side and whispered, "I'm embarrassed to ask." ”

In the seat behind the two, Xia Jianbin studied the map on his lap and frowned: "I don't know much, but Jiaohe County still knows, we have been walking north since we came out of here, more than two hundred kilometers, my father-in-law, you see where this is." ”

He pointed to a place name on the map, Jiang Jiancheng next to him had a gloomy face, he was looking out the window, thinking about yesterday afternoon, his heart was extremely uncomfortable, and when he heard the words asked, he came back to his senses from his thoughts and turned his head to look at the map.

"It seems to have reached the boundary of Chongsui. ”

Jiang Jiancheng leaned back, and his heart was full of doubts: "Shouldn't I go to Bairen City and then take a plane when I go abroad? Why did I take a bus to this place, I remember that here is a poor and remote place, and there is no airport and no big river, how can I go abroad? It can't be that my son-in-law deliberately teased the four of us old people, right?"

Your son-in-law has the kung fu to tease you, and he won't take his parents with him, shut up and take your car. Xu Qiuhua turned her face from the front seat and glared at him: "I haven't settled yesterday's matter with you, be careful that the old lady suddenly feels unhappy and throws you out of this window." ”

Jiang Jiancheng shrunk his neck, put his hands into his cuffs and leaned back, muttering: "My mother and father-in-law are here, and I don't want to save face." ”

"You also know that your father-in-law and mother-in-law are here, listen to what you said just now, if your ancestors knew, the spiritual position would be planted in shame!"

"You're enough!?"

"I'm still not convinced, see how I clean you up!"

"You're coming?!"

The four old ones actually don't have much knowledge, and the chats along the way are all short things in the parents, Charlene and her best friend naturally don't dare to be interested, the two wear a pair of headphones, listen to the music inside, swipe the screen with their mobile phones, and take a picture of the scenery from time to time and send it to the circle of friends.

Jiang Jiancheng and his wife quarreled loudly, the two girls took off their headphones, and when they looked over, Zhou Jin, who was pretending to be asleep behind him, opened his eyes, got up and walked over.

The quarrelsome couple also stopped talking and sat back in their seats.

Jiang Jiancheng crossed his arms and snorted, and diverted his words: "It's a trip, we don't even know where we're going, and we're still angry along the way." ”

"I haven't been to the place where the boss is," he said, leaning against the side seat, flicking his scarlet nails, "but at least we were on our way." ”

"Xiao Zhou. ”

Wang Suhua stood up a little uneasily, and squeezed out a little smile: "What is Xiao Yi doing now?" Suddenly, it's a big villa and a luxury car, I'm damn it, but I don't know anything, you are his subordinate, I don't want to ask him, I want to inquire about you." ”

Xia Jianbin, Xu Qiuhua, and Jiang Jiancheng also looked at Zhou Jin, after all, suddenly, Xia Yi became so rich, which made the four of them feel at ease.

Zhou Jin walked back and sat down on a seat not far away: "Don't worry, the boss eats the appropriation, and the funds allocated from above." ”

"Above?" the four of them subconsciously looked up, but they couldn't see anything but the roof of the car.

"Anyway, you mean that the road is clean?" Jiang Jiancheng breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly slapped his face, and stood up suddenly: "This is a family trip, why did the bearded man in the back follow?!"

The direction he pointed, the last row of the bus, wearing a Mao suit, a stout figure, with a big beard, holding a mobile phone, pressing his fingers quickly, maybe he heard someone say him, raised his head, the lenses were reflective, and he laughed twice.

"It was a hitchhiker, and I don't know who it was, but someone explained it anyway and came with us. Zhou Jin shrugged his shoulders and closed his eyes to rest.

At this time, the man in the back row put away his mobile phone, walked over on both sides, looked at Jiang Jiancheng with a depressed face, came to his back seat and patted his shoulder.

"Little brother, we are destined. ”

Xu Qiuhua glanced at the two suspiciously: "You know each other?"

"I don't know!"

"Acquaintance!"

Over there, the two spoke in unison, and the bearded man looked at the woman, then waved his hand and changed his words: "Then I don't know each other." ”

Jiang Jiancheng glared at him, and in Xu Qiuhua's scrutinizing gaze, he was like sitting on pins and needles, and Xia Jianbin next to him patted his thigh and laughed: "Brother, this woman is like a crop, you have to take care of your heart, but you also have to do it." ”

"Huh?" Wang Suhua turned his face.

The former puffed up his chest proudly: "Only by doing things can we take care of it more!" Man, when you plow a piece of land all your life, you can't just be diligent, but you must also let the land slow down appropriately, if the land is poor, you can't plant anything. ”

"This guy is right!"

The bearded man stroked the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and admired Xia Jianbin what he said just now: "Land and women are the same, my brother said it thoroughly, if you are still in my time,, I will make you a big farmer!"

Xu Qiuhua stood up: "Hey, how can you talk with this beard?"

"....."

"Dare to curse!"

The noise continued inside the car, and the rather lively bus passed through a section of tunnel, entered the mountains, and turned at a fork in the road to another more remote road without any signs.

Summer cicadas hissed one after another in the mountains and green fields on both sides, and on the side of the road, a river that could see the bottom of the water flowed slowly, hanging down the branches on the water, and a white water bird combed its feathers, watching the noisy bus slowly drive past.

Soon.

Ma Bang's voice sounded from the cab: "Don't talk, we're here!"

"Abroad?"

Xiaoshuang, who was playing with her mobile phone, was the first to stand up and look out, but what she saw was camouflage military jeeps parked on the side of the road, and soldiers with real guns were on guard along the way, looking at the cold glow of the sunlight reflected in the metal at the muzzle of the gun, she was so frightened that she sat back, and her voice became stammering: "Why are there soldiers outside..... still holding guns, what are we here for?"

There were also many worried looks on the faces of the others, and even Zhou Jin felt a little uneasy for a while, it was the first time she came over.

"Old horse, you're not going the wrong way, are you?"

"No..... no, I just followed the navigation given by Chen Sha. ”

As he spoke, the bearded man laughed out loud and waved his hand heroically: "They are all warriors who defend their families and defend the country, are you still afraid of your own family? ”

"This old guy can't do without ..... for half a sentence"

Xu Qiuhua muttered, and the others got off the bus in a nervous mood, greeted several soldiers over, checked the luggage and belongings, and then let them go.

There are more metal structures on the mountain wall, various pipes are laid out underneath, and occasionally a light blue light flashes by, giving the illusion of a science fiction movie.

"Someone up front to pick you up!"

The person leading the way said goodbye and left, not far from the side of a huge mechanical door in front of him, a petite figure was sitting on top of several large iron boxes piled up, nibbling on some food, seeing Zhou Jin and his party coming, he hurriedly stood on it and waved his hand excitedly.

Then, jump down: "This way, this way!!"

"When I saw you, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ma Bang was already in a cold sweat, and the moment he saw the dog girl, he completely relaxed, "Are they also red-haired?"

"I've been looking for Xia Yi a long time ago, don't you know?"

Guo Manyuan crossed his fingers and tilted his neck to look at the sky: "I want to think about it, in addition to the three of them, there are Lao Li, the electric python, the virtual knife, and the mad rat...... Well, it seems that there is another one named Bai Ning, who brought a large group of people over, a few days ago, there were more, but the above did not let us see, and we heard the sound of stomping, and it was not over until dawn. ”

"It was the sound of horses' hooves. The bearded man behind the crowd interjected.

"You know what?"

The bearded man laughed and looked at the metal gate in front of him: "How can you not hear the sound of the iron hoof conquest when you control the horse all your life, and think about the time of Xu Du......"

"Walk away, don't pay attention to this bearded, insane. ”

Ma Bang pushed the dog girl out a few steps, stopped abruptly, and turned around: "Hey, where is the fat man?

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Far away, in the direction he came, Zhao Dezhu ran over with a big bag on his back and a duckbill hat, panting and looking at everyone.

"You didn't call me when you left, and if the soldiers who came up woke me up, I would have almost forgotten in the car. ”

"Who told you to fall asleep playing on your phone. ”

The fat man shook his phone with a solemn expression: "I'm down to business!" he said, turned his head to look around, "What did Lao Yi ask us to do here?" ”

Not only their group, but even the soldiers who were guarding around didn't know what was going on here.

The wind blew through the canyon, and the dense woods on both sides above rattled softly.

Since a year ago, Xia also made a deal with Wan Guohao of the Commuter Bureau, and soon after, military vehicles began to enter this place, and a large number of engineers and scientific researchers also settled in, and various sci-fi buildings were built against the mountain wall to do secret work.

At the same time, Jiaohe County also suddenly added a technology company named Tianshi, the part of which was once the famous Tianhu Company in Bairen City as a skeleton, and it was also a merger and recombination completed by the government with the best efforts of the government, and even had technical interoperability with Anchoron, a country far across the ocean.

Of course, many of these are trade secrets at the national level and are not publicly available.

After the two technologies were combined, the research that had been located in this canyon also expanded, and a huge portal was built almost equal to the canyon, about 100 meters.

For the sake of safety, it is better to let the army guard it, and wait until the first station over there is established and successfully open up a safe zone, and establish diplomatic relations with the civilization over there, and the news about the other world will be made public and open to the outside world.

Even tourism.

As for the energy maintained by the light gate, it will be continuously supplied by Xia Yi, and the premise is that the people who belong to him can come over first, and the future will be unimpeded.

"This is really a trembling idea......," Chen Yaozu, as the spokesperson of Tianshi Company, led his daughter to stand on the whole platform of the Canyon Research Institute, looking at the huge portal little by little, and built a majestic exterior decoration in the welding light of countless engineering personnel.

These are all things he has never thought of in his life, and he has actually completed them step by step in his hands.

"Let's go, Sissi, let's go over and have a look. ”

"Hmm!" the little girl turned around and put the schoolbag on the chair, took her father's hand, walked off the platform, and raised her little face: "Will there be a lot of monsters over there?"

"There should be, and there are all sorts of races. ”

"Can I draw them? One of the summer assignments assigned by the teacher was for us to draw a happy summer vacation. ”

"No one else, but you're my daughter, so that's fine. ”

The father and daughter led the crowd of people who came and went, and in the distance, there were vehicles coming here, a woman named Keiko Sakai, who took her son Shingo off the bus and would also arrive here.

"Everyone is together, let's go. ”

Guo Manyuan didn't know where to take out a small flag, raised it excitedly above his head and shook it, shouting in the eyes of the soldiers around him.

"-Let's go!"
