Chapter 626: Start Again
Zhang Heng did not wake up on time at 0:00 Beijing time, which was not good news for him.
This means that his time-stopping abilities may not be fully effective against the thing in the sub-ice city, and this discovery will undoubtedly affect his plans for the future.
Zhang Heng wanted to go to the city under the ice, but of course he was not blind, whether it was the story told by Sachus or the warning of Nyaratotip, it no longer showed how dangerous that place was.
And Zhang Heng's biggest reliance is his ability to stop time, in his original plan, he planned to find the city under the ice first, and then wait until the extra 24 hours to come before going down, as for whether to investigate and leave quietly after entering, or find a way to solve the huge figure in the palace depends on the specific situation at the time.
But now it's likely that he'll need to rethink his trip to the ice fields.
In addition, he had nightmares on the first night of his arrival in Greenland, which probably did not bode well, Zhang Heng had already met Dr. Baker and Sachus, both of whom had participated in the scientific expedition 18 years ago, and they had been plagued by nightmares on the way to find the sub-ice city.
After returning, the situation did not improve, but became more and more serious, even if both of them lived in seclusion, tried to avoid contact with the outside world, and did not continue to investigate, but they still became emaciated day by day, and finally died and went crazy.
Zhang Heng is now beginning to understand some of the torture that the two of them have suffered over the years, obviously he has been asleep for more than ten hours just now, but Zhang Heng does not feel that his mental and physical strength have recovered much, it is almost the same as before going to bed, and he is sweating.
This is because his feelings are almost gone, otherwise the apocalyptic scene in his dream alone is enough to put a heavy burden on his spirit.
After Zhang Heng got up, he went to the bathroom to take a shower and washed away the sweat that stuck to his body, but halfway through the wash, he heard the sound of the doorbell downstairs, and there was more than one sound, in fact, in the past two minutes, the doorbell was almost uninterrupted, one after another, and it seemed very urgent.
So Zhang Heng had no choice but to wrap a bath towel and go downstairs to open the door first.
As a result, Songjia, Alethia, and Ole were seen standing outside the door, with Ole wearing bandages and holding the baseball bat in his hand, while Arethea had a hand in her pocket and looked vigilant.
Zhang Heng opened the door, and Arethia almost subconsciously pulled out a pistol from her pocket, but when she saw that the person in front of her was Zhang Heng, she breathed a sigh of relief and put the gun back.
"I called you several times, and sent you a lot of messages, but you didn't reply, I thought something happened to you, I was so anxious that I almost didn't call the police, but I was stopped by Araitya." Miss Translator said.
"Oh, I just woke up and haven't had time to look at my phone yet." Zhang Heng replied, turning sideways at the same time and letting the three of them into the house.
After that, Zhang Heng spent five minutes to re-wash the half-bathed shower, put on his clothes, and went back to the bedroom to take out his mobile phone, and sure enough, he saw more than a dozen missed calls, as well as about twenty new messages, most of which were from Songjia.
"Arethia and Ole contacted me and said that they were ready to leave and return to the tribe with Sachus, and asked if you wanted to go with them." Songjia said.
Zhang Heng had indeed promised to lend the already crazy Sachus to the two Inuit for a while, but it was only for three days, so Arethia and Ole couldn't wait to return to the tribe with Sachus, and they were also counting on getting the news of the lost relics from Sachus.
"Is the art museum done with the matter?" Zhang Heng asked, last night he made more than 30 corpses there in one go, and in addition, he destroyed a lot of precious exhibits during the fight, it is unlikely that the art museum will open normally today, and Zhang Heng does not want to attract the attention of the police and cause unnecessary trouble, so it is necessary for the two local snakes of Alethia and Ole to deal with this problem.
Of course, they are only young people after all, and it is estimated that that night is also the first time to see blood, and they must not have much experience, but fortunately, there are their respective tribes behind them, and the two of them really did not live up to Zhang Heng's expectations of them, and contacted the elders of the tribe overnight and told them what happened in the art museum.
After urgent discussions, the two tribes sent a team of people to take over the follow-up aftermath.
As a result, after dealing with their injuries, Arethia and Ole were finally able to rush back to the tribe and go to Arethia's teacher, Kunayu.
"I told my teacher about your arrival in time to save us last night, she is very welcome to visit our tribe, and if you really plan to go to that sub-ice city in the future, we can provide you with the best guide in your tribe, and with him you will never have to worry about getting lost on the ice field." ”
After Song Jia translated Arethia's words, Zhang Heng also said, "I thank your teacher for his kindness, but you don't need a guide, you have also heard the story told by Sachus, you should know that the closer you get to that ice city, the more easily the spirit of ordinary people will be affected, and this impact is likely to be lifelong, and it will become more and more serious over time, so I am enough alone, and in addition, I haven't decided on the expedition yet." ”
"It's okay, you can come to us if you need anything, not just from Arethia's tribe, but also from mine." Ole also patted his chest and said, "When my injuries are healed, I can also go with you, we have been looking for that evil spirit for a long time." ”
Zhang Heng knew that his warning probably didn't have any effect, and it was difficult to have a clear understanding of some things even if he heard them and didn't experience them personally, so Zhang Heng didn't say anything, and turned his head to look at Song Jia on the side, "Help me translate for a few more days, I can pay you five times your salary." ”
After leaving the bar last night, Zhang Heng also talked to Song Jia about salary, but the translator at that time had already been given the bag by Nyara Totip, so the previous agreement naturally could not be counted, and Zhang Heng had to talk to Song Jia again.
Miss Translator looked a little hesitant, after all, anyone who experienced last night's incident didn't want to be involved anymore, but Songjia also knew that if she took on the burden here, Zhang Heng wouldn't be able to find a suitable new translator for a while, so she finally decided to finish this last shift and go to Arethia's tribe with Zhang Heng.
