Chapter 1: Thousands of Miles

The Ambilight outside the window flew backwards.

Time is reversed here, and the military features that were once disguised on the MAN truck have faded one by one.

It can't be said that Wang Hu opened the back door of the cab and found that the camouflage was just in a different direction - those hideous military mechs were disguised as plastic toys, and even the waybill became "Buzz Lightyear...... It's not going to get over it, is it?

The clattering of the freight train sounded in his ears again, the Ford box car in front swayed, and the messy red letter swear words printed on the back door dangled in front of Wang Hu's eyes.

The date and time numbers on the dashboard of the cab and on the GPS all jumped at a rapid pace, and then stopped at an exact number β€” the next second when Wang Hu left.

Is it really possible to do whatever you want?

Or is time just a little girl who dresses up?

[Wang Hu, the military is so dark, you are not angry? 】

Someone came out and askedβ€”its memories had been washed away by time, and it knew nothing about the content of the mission. Wang Hu told him that it was caused by a time loop, so people accepted it with suspicion. In fact, I quietly searched for several places, but I didn't find "my own message to myself", so I could only choose to believe it.

As a result, except for Wang Hu's last shopping time in Paris, he remembered nothing.

Wang Hu settled that it participated in before, and was also shocked by the black-hearted operation of the Dawn Army.

But seeing Wang Hu scolding for a few minutes, he suddenly stopped after the space was reset, and his face was not sad or happy. People can't help but think, this is not angry...... Still mad?

Instead of answering the question about whether he was angry or not, Wang Hu asked another question.

"Therefore, have you read "Triple Cradle" written by Chief Engineer Xue?"

[What triple cradle? Who gave birth? 】

β€œβ€¦β€¦ In the future, you should chase less stars and read more, which is good for your brain. Wang Hugui advised, "Chief Engineer Xue believes that human beings need to go through three cradles to grow up. The first cradle is the earth with all the elements, suitable environment and abundant resources. The resources of the Earth-Moon system are enough to support human beings to go out of the solar system from near to far and until they reach the cosmic world. ”

[Oh, is that so?] 】

"The second cradle is the Boss Empire. The human race, which has just entered the universe, is still extremely fragile and backward in science and technology. Only with the backing of a strong empire can there be a chance to develop. ”

[Ah, I see. 】

"The third cradle is the host of the earth. The Earth host not only guides humanity on the right track, helps process huge amounts of information in the information age, but also builds an incomparably convenient wormhole system to communicate with the world. ”

Chief Engineer Xue predicted that the process of human progress is the process of breaking and abandoning the cradle. Going out of the earth has become the inevitable fate of all earth worlds; Breaking the Empire...... The empire is no longer there. In her words, the fall of the empire is inevitable, and the intensification of the conflict between natural people and human clones is only one of the triggers. ”

"Then in the next step, humanity will eventually become no longer in need of the Earth host. Because the host is involved in managing humanity, it is bound to be a source of resentment. This resentment accumulates to a certain extent, which will inevitably intensify, and at that time humanity will abandon the host and really go to the ego. ”

"So broadly speaking, the small injustices I encountered are just a microcosm of them, and there is nothing to be angry about."

[So, what about after the break?] 】

"Who knows...... Wang Hu wanted to find something to cover the time display - it had been almost two years since he left, and when he looked back, it was really uncomfortable, so he was out of sight and out of mind.

"If it doesn't work after three times, Chief Engineer Xue will also feel that human beings are really hopeless."

He suddenly stiffened, and after a moment said to the system, "You're really getting more and more useless. ”

If you observe Wang Hu with the eyes of Yuan Energy, you will find that his appearance at the moment is particularly like a white-haired witch - his full head of "hair" is floating around, extending for dozens of meters!

It looks like a large mass of red aquatic plants.

That was his thinking red line, and since Wang Hu was proficient in using it, the thinking red line had become his permanent ability. Wang Hu is accustomed to taking care of his surroundings anytime and anywhere, as if I were there to control it in person.

As a result, when the red line of his thinking drifted to the rear car, he saw that the driver was holding a big gun with a strong sense of science fiction!

He shifted his seat back, hid his hand under the cab, and aimed the gun at Wang Hu's back through the three or four compartments and the engineβ€”obviously confident in the gun's penetrating power.

Even with Wang Hu's composure, his scalp was numb because of the sudden crisis.

High-tech firearms rarely don't have a locking function, and the probability of dodging at this distance is no more than 10%!

Especially when he found out, the male driver had already completed the preparations before shooting, and he was about to pull the trigger with his finger!

Wang Hu reacted almost without thinking!

He didn't bet on the less than 10% probability of dodging, but all the red lines of his thinking shrank backwards violently, and suddenly converged into a "spear" with a sharp front and a straight back, and then slammed into the driver's eyebrows!

It's the best option on the shortest distances!

However, Wang Hu knew in his heart that the "red line of thinking" was not lethal. And human nerve signals are a hundred times more complex than "mimicry", and it is impossible for him to paralyze the opponent's will with weak electrical signals.

But it was done anyway, and it was completely intuitive.

At the moment when the "spear" poked out, the previous action was already the combined force of "thinking red line" + "crystal branch computer", relying on precise control and excessive calculation to "bundle the threads into a spear".

But just as he poked out, the bird standing on the branch of the "Lightning" tree suddenly flew up and hit the root of the red line spear.

"Crackle~!" Bang.

The electricity crossed the red line of thought, and a red arc flew out of the tip of the spear and pierced forward through the trucker's skull! The electric current raged through his skull, steaming his brain in an instant.

The red spear stopped in front of the center of the eyebrows.

A milky white liquid gushes out of thin air through the small hole in the center of the eyebrow, with a faint steam.

The high-tech firearm that the driver was holding in his hand finally came off his hand and fell to the cab floor with a "clang", shattering into pieces like fragile glass.

"Whew-" Wang Hu let out a long breath, and in an instant, he went from life to death, from death to life.

When the crisis passed, a fine layer of cold sweat broke out on his body.

Wang Hu disappeared from the car, and after a few moments, he sneaked into the cab of the rear car.

First broke the driver's ears and quickly glanced at the metal scars and shoots, "Spotting, it's really 'incarnation'." The old enemy" mimicry "has just been solved, and the new enemy "Avatar" is coming one after another, and there is no peace.

Then he picked up a fragment of a rifle and looked at it carefully.

[It has reached the pinnacle level of level 4 technology.] 】

Therefore, Wang Hu nodded in agreement.

The Energy Gun is the hallmark of Tier 4 - and the gun is not broken, it intelligently self-destructs when the user dies to prevent weapons and technology from falling into the hands of the enemy.

There should be something else......

Wang Hu searched for the "incarnate" driver, and suddenly his body stiffened again.

He secretly scolded, "Tomatoes (tomato), there are so many routines!" ", stretched out his hand...... Slowly pulled out a "green ball" from under the seat to open the insurance.

The green balls resemble a shrunken, unripe dragon fruit, with a plasticy sheen on the outside and a rather inexpensive look. However, Wang Hu knew how terrifying this thing was, so he closed the insurance first and steadily.

This green ball is the famous plasma grenade!

If detonated, the sputtered plasma melts everything in a 20-meter diameter area, whether steel or concrete! The army generally uses this thing to tear down walls and clean up the battlefield......

The plasma grenade in his hand has no metal and electronic components on his body, which is particularly unfriendly to Wang Hu.

In other words, if it was before the mutation, his superpowers were completely restrained by this grenade.

It seems that while he was preparing, the enemy was not idle. As a result of the large-scale manipulation of mobile phones to attack German laboratories, his ability was still analyzed.

After putting away the plasma grenade and fragments of the firearm, and taking a few photos of the metal scars on the driver's body, Wang Hu dropped the body directly off the train, and then returned to his car along the speeding train.

The body must not be left behind, otherwise the police will definitely be attracted when they reach the end point, and the drivers of the front and rear cars must be left behind for investigation.

At this moment, he had time to check what had just happened.

Now, the red line is still the red line, and the crystal branch is still the same crystal branch. Even the house finches that represent Lian Shan are flying around the trees, looking like they have nothing to do with me.

But Wang Hu knew that he had just subconsciously completed an operation of merging the three abilities.

*****

I went ashore, received a "return call" at the station, scolded and went through the formalities, and bought a ticket to return to France from the other side of the tunnel......

Looks like a hapless freight driver.

However, when the German agents get their hands on the freight train and are ready to capture him in one fell swoop (or let him kill the German agents even if they don't), that's a success.

Only to find a voided ticket number (because no empty seats are allowed in freight), and the MAN truck disappeared in full view of everyone in the station?

Satellites are also unable to monitor the situation inside the station.

When the German intelligence department docked with the British MI6 and tried to expand the search area, Wang Hu had already hidden in the container with his car and boarded the freighter, and Shi Shiran left the British mainland on the way to the Mediterranean route.

Since he knew that he was on the double blacklist of the alien "Avatar" and the German Constitutional Security Bureau, Wang Hu would definitely not go to Germany with a head in his head.

It's just a change of identity, and hiding his tracks is his forte.

On the way, Wang Hu also sent someone back to Germany to "take a look".

As a result, when he came back, he told him that there was now a huge amount of junk information in the computer of the Constitutional Protection Bureau to confuse him.

Moreover, the office of the bureau has also begun to use a combination of manual and computer, and all important information is transmitted manually, which can basically isolate Wang Hu's peeping.

It's very simple to crack it, as long as you use a lot of manpower to verify them one by one, but unfortunately Wang Hu, who is alone, can't do it.

"Amazing," Wang Hu could only say, it was simple and effective, and the person who designed this method was not under him.

In that case, it is even more impossible to go back.

It's a pity that the forest hut is still being renovated...... Wang Hu assured the organization that he did not miss the mother and daughter of the councilor, and that buying gifts was a normal social need.

……

"Indigo, let's talk about compensation!"

Wang Hu summoned the local host Dao.

The image of a middle-aged oriental man was abruptly projected into Wang Hu's mind, and he said to him with a frown. "Someone as experienced as you should have known from the beginning that there were risks involved in it, and it would be a shame to say compensation now."

That's right, for example, an intelligence dealer betrays someone's information, resulting in the killing of someone's wife and children. When someone takes revenge, he finds an intelligence monger, can the intelligence dealer say that he is innocent? Can you say that you didn't expect it?

Wang Hu hurriedly raised his hand to interrupt, "What do you think of me, of course it's not a matter of the loss of the house and money, I can bear it." ”

He showed the second part of the reward information, pointed to the unblacked part, and said:

"I brought back four mechs and their batteries and related technology, and as a result, four skill points were deducted, which you didn't tell me in the first place. In particular, four points are not cheap, is this also included in our agreement? ”

The free lancers are all responsible for their own profits and losses, so they must have this spirit of being a fool of themselves.

Sure enough, the host Tateina frowned.

Of course, he knew that Wang Hu had brought back some banknotes, cultural relics, and gold, but those were worthless to the host, so he didn't need to deduct skill points. The more technology and culture can drive human progress, the more expensive it becomes...... But the price is really a bit outrageous!

You're not ion engine technology.

It's just that it's brought back, and it's not spread by him, it's two different things. Tateina silently labeled the female host opposite as "greedy and black" in her heart.

"I'm sorry, it looks like I didn't make it clear." Tateina admitted. If you make a mistake, you have to admit it, and if you are beaten, you have to stand upright, and the host's character is really much better than some people.

The female host on the other side is the same, even if she hates her teeth, she should be rewarded with a lot of points.

"In that case...... Just to explain a few things about the freelancer class, I just happened to tell you about it. The host Tie Lan put on a posture of long talk, which was equivalent to admitting Wang Hu's identity as a mercenary and giving up continuing to recruit him.

"First of all, the badge." The indigo hand is a little out of thin air, putting the ...... The method of making the badge passed on to him.

"This badge can automatically collect tasks posted by nearby hosts, and the appearance of the badge will also remind them that there are free lancers who can be commissioned, which is a win-win choice."

"The tasks I posted, such as this time to obtain mecha and battery technology, will also be sent by me for recycling, and part of your reward will be deducted as shipping costs. Listen to me......" Tadigo raised her hand to stop him from bargaining and continued.

"But if it's a task issued by another host, and you're on my earth, then even if you pay for it, I won't necessarily send it, because it's not cost-effective."

Wang Hu nodded, completely acceptable, because he and Tateingo are both pure rational thinking.

It is natural to get paid according to work.

"You have to sail alone to the common area and then be picked up by the host, which of course deducts the reward for the mission. Or simply save the task and go over on your own. ”

"So before you can start your mercenary business, you'll also need a spaceship capable of interstellar travel."

Tateingo took out an illusory chip and handed it to Wang Hu.

"I happen to know a clue to get a spaceship, and I wanted to use it as a reward for my next mission, and now I'll give it to you as compensation. If you want to go, I can also provide a one-way ticket. ”

"Thanks, I'll take care of this side first."

Wang Hu pointed to the mecha in the rear compartment.

Tateina nodded as well, and as he turned to leave, he suddenly asked again, "What did you understand from the first mission?" ”

"Don't be gullible about hosts." Wang Hu said.

Tateina nodded and left, this is what he wanted to tell Wang Hu.
