Chapter 38: The Journey
Chapter 38: The Road
On the dirt road in the countryside, a line of dust raised high obscured most of the sun in the sky; In the powerful roar of the engine, Ye Qi, who was driving the impala 67, had already driven a speed that would surprise everyone when he saw it - although he doubted the intention of changing the dragon, the xìng ability of the impala67 car was undoubted; In particular, after the whole car was completely modified, the speed, stability, and sustainability of the impala67 have been qualitatively improved; If it weren't for the need to refuel halfway, Ye Qi believed that his time on the road would have been shortened a lot.
Joseph Town ......
Ye Qi glanced at the red dot circled on the map placed on the co-pilot - this is the place where the Demon NV disappeared, and about fifty kilometers further forward, you will enter the Hailin District, and there is a supreme government standing around it, "Beast, danger!" "No Entry"; Although this kind of notice will only arouse more curiosity among some young people, at least it will give the families of the unfortunate people who have become food for dark creatures because of their curiosity in the event of an accident.
Of course, Ye Qi did not have any special thoughts about this behavior of the Supreme Government; After all, people who risk their lives as bargaining chips should be prepared to face the loss of their lives; Even if they are facing an existence far beyond their imagination.
……
Jose Town, the ordinary border xiǎo town.
A main thoroughfare, a shop, a gas station, a bar, a police station, plus less than fifty households, make up everything in the whole town of Joseph - of course, such a xiǎo town, you don't expect such a facility to exist; If there is a hotel in Xiǎo Town, which does not have any scenic spots, it is either the owner or the traveler who is unlucky.
After all, there will always be a black shop or some purely psychopathic character!
If an outsider wants to stay, there is no other way than to stay overnight; Outsiders and locals alike are accustomed to this behavior - so when Leafy drove into Joseph and parked in front of the gas station, the gas station attendant opened the tank cap and began to introduce Leafy to the town's nice Aboriginal homes.
"Thank you for the recommendation, but I have no plans to spend the night!"
Ye Qi's words made the face of the gas station waiter feel disappointed - in such a remote xiǎo town, it is really not easy to fight for xiǎo fees while working; After all, the whole town is less than two hundred people, and everyone is very familiar with it; Therefore, whenever he sees a stranger, he will try to sell it to a person who has a good relationship with him, or even his own home, to get extra money; However, his disappointment did not last long, and a ten-dollar bill appeared in Ye Qi's hand.
"What do you need, sir?" Looking at the banknote in Ye Qi's hand, the waiter's disappointment had long been replaced by a smile on his face; Ye Qi opened the back of the car, took down two large buckets of about ten liters, and put them in front of the other party: "Fill these two too!" And put it back in my car! If done well, it's yours! ”
Ye Qi waved the banknote in his hand gestureously - Ye Qi likes to be prepared at all times; Having extra gasoline on hand is essential for long-distance travelers; After all, no one expects a gas station to appear in the middle of nowhere; And the neighborhood around Joseph is exactly such a location.
"Do you have any good restaurants here?" Sighing, Ye Qi looked complaining: "I've been living on some biscuits for two days in a row, and if it goes on like this, I'm sure my wife will smell a smell of plastic biscuits when she sees me!" ”
"I'm sorry, sir! As you can see, we're not a developed town! The waiter looked helpless and pointed to the entire town of Joseph: "Although there was a bill to develop the town of Joseph a few years ago, this bill has not been passed until now!" So, if you're looking for a decent restaurant, you're going to be disappointed! Then, again, the waiter pointed to a place about thirty feet away from the gas station and suggested, "But if you're just looking for a hot cooked meal, the bar is a great place to be!" Especially the freshly baked muffins, I recommend it to you! ”
"Oh, that's awful! I thought it would be a good errand, but I didn't expect it to be so bad! Patting his forehead, Ye Qi seemed to subconsciously say: "It seems that I have to apply for a salary increase after I go!" ”,
"What is your job, sir?" The waiter looked at Ye Qi curiously—after all, as far as he knew, there weren't any factories near Joseph's Town, and their town wouldn't have such a thing; However, the waiter immediately noticed that he seemed to be suspicious of peeping at others, and immediately explained: "Please forgive me for not offending, I am just just curious!" ”
"Nothing! It's nothing! Ye Qi waved his hand again and again, and at the same time explained: "I am a surveyor employed by the Supreme Government of the First Ministry; Refer to the existing map to see the route within 10 kilometers of the Hailin area; After all, it was an old document from five or six years ago, and it needed to be re-checked and archived; Of course, I also have to check the safety signs around me! ”
The waiter nodded again and again after hearing Ye Qi's explanation—the people who came here to check the safety signs around the Hailin District were not uncommon here, and it could even be said that in addition to the sheriff in the town, they were the longest-appearing political officers and strangers in Joseph Town; Although Ye Qi mentioned the identity of the surveyor, he still thought that he was still the one who checked the security signs; Therefore, the waiter's attitude immediately changed from slightly cautious to accommodating, and at the same time began to tease each time he saw these political employees.
"These safety signs are eye-catching enough! Unless they're blind, they're a presence to be reckoned with a hundred feet away! The "familiar" professional identity made the waiter eliminate the strangeness of meeting Ye Qi for the first time, and he half-jokingly: "However, there are always people who disappear there every year; So, I think forming a patrol there is the real solution! ”
"I can't be the master of this!" Ye Qi followed the other party's words, completely curious, and asked with an unusually natural expression: "Do you have a lot of missing people here?" ”
