Chapter 472: Difficulty
As long as Pi Chunsheng maintains the "Nian Bu", the investigation vehicle can always track the direction of the Throne Boat. However, maintaining abilities can be physically and mentally draining for any Pioneer, let alone a special domain-type ability.
Pi Chunsheng sat on the seat and poured sugar water into his mouth vigorously. In this way, he quickly replenishes the sugar consumed by his brain, maintaining his ability for a long time until he is exhausted.
Wu Qi and the others seemed to understand why Pi Chunsheng was so thin, presumably every time he used "Nian Bu" like this, his body would be in a state of lack of energy for a long time, and no matter how much sugar water he drank, he couldn't make up for the body's consumption.
Everyone admired Pi Chunsheng very much. The investigation vehicle traveled for five hours in the afternoon.
Dusk was dying outside the car window, and the orange sun was about to set at the northwest end of the wasteland with the purple glow on the horizon. The setting sun illuminated the earthy yellow earth red, and the survey vehicle dragged a long shadow on the back of the vehicle, continuing to drive in the same direction at a speed of 180 kilometers per hour.
Pi Chunsheng's physical fitness and energy have been tested by double overdraft, his eye sockets are deeply sunken, and the frequency of eyelid closure is getting higher and higher. He didn't say anything, and still silently maintained the "recitation".
Lu Junjun was distressed, she walked to the co-pilot's position and whispered a few words to Xiao Kui, who was driving in turn.
Xiao Kui glanced back and nodded slightly. He slowed down the speed of the investigation vehicle step by step until it stopped.
"Little Pi, you can rest." Lu Junjun walked up to Pi Chunsheng's side and gently stroked his shoulder.
"Hmmm......"
Pi Chunsheng was already too tired to do anything, he answered softly, and fell asleep after 3 seconds of closing his eyes. The TV screen in the middle of the carriage flashed coldly with a colorful checkered pattern, and the dashcam screen returned to normal.
"Today's tracking is over, we will rest and recuperate in place, and we will have dinner in 1 hour, and we will not walk at night." Yue Zhanfei stood up and clapped his hands, and announced to the whole team.
Wu Qi and the others all stood up, walked around the carriage or got off the train, and breathed in the free and wild air of the wasteland.
Guo Baibai had already talked to Lu Junjun, and walked over very naturally to ask about the dinner arrangement. Guo Baibai is a girl who is particularly good at cooking, and Lu Junjun happens to be the same as the No. 7 investigation team, the two chatted speculatively, and began to tinker to improve the fixed dinner as they talked.
After everyone had finished dinner, the dark blue starry sky was already outside. The world under the starry night was unexpectedly quiet, and until 11 o'clock at night, there was no trace of the plague species outside the investigation car.
After 12 o'clock, Yue Zhanfei arranged the vigil task of the whole team and let everyone sleep. The 8-member investigation team has 7 people left except Pi Chunsheng, who must have a good rest, and each person has 1 hour of vigil to illuminate the earth with bright morning light.
Nothing was said all night.
The next morning, Pi Chunsheng recuperated and used the same method to change the picture on the television screen, tracking the figure of the Ark of the Throne sailing, and the investigation vehicle immediately set off.
Such a tracking method is possible, but only if the Ship of the Throne does not maintain a speed of 150 kilometers per hour and sail to the northwestern end of the wasteland. If the investigation team does not see the shadow of the Ark of the Throne for 3 days, they will have to return home.
It's not just about fuel, it's just as important to avoid meaningless waste.
Time passed silently, and the people in the carriage didn't have much to do. Not counting the night, after nearly a day's journey, the investigation vehicle only encountered more than 20 plague species. This is very different from the situation when Wu Qi and the others participated in the return mission before, when the armed convoy constantly encountered the tide of plague beasts.
Wu Qi couldn't help but wonder if the destruction of the Beast Tide had caused the plague population entrenched near the five bases to almost die, or if it was simply the reason why the investigation vehicle was traveling on the same road as the Ark of the Throne.
Suddenly, Pi Chunsheng shouted: "Look, the Throne Boat has stopped!" ”
Everyone who heard the news immediately gathered in front of the TV screen, and the picture was just as Pi Chunsheng said.
The Ark of the Throne stopped, or rather, the Ark of the Throne became very slow, a tiny fraction of the speed of 180 kilometers per hour.
"There seems to be hope."
Yue Zhan's eyebrows condensed a strong and firm will. He directly adjusted the speed of the investigation vehicle to the limit of the first gear, the engine rumbled, and the investigation vehicle was directly like fire. Arrows shot out.
Inside the carriage, Wu Qi had been silently looking at the Ark of the Throne displayed on the TV screen. Although the Ark of the Throne stopped, Wu Qi knew that it was far from enough. They don't know when the Throne Ship will set sail again, or if it will simply sink into the ocean of the earth, and it is not a good strategy to keep Pi Chunsheng like this for a long time.
If they can deduce the automatic control of the Throne Boat, perhaps the probability that they will encounter and capture the Throne Ship again will greatly increase.
Wu Qi kept thinking about all kinds of possibilities. The Ark of the Throne is a very strange and wonderful thing, it has the ability to absorb living beings and turn them into life energy, "Soul Throne", regardless of how the Ark of the Throne is generated and how it gives birth to the ability, in terms of results, the long knife and the Ark of the Throne actually have some similarities.
The Knife and the Ark of the Throne are both fused with the ability virus, which is born out of dead things, but does not reach the biological level. Because of their abilities, they naturally have a pattern of action that distinguishes them from the real dead.
You don't need to control it yourself, once the long knife touches the blood and ability viruses of third-order lifeforms, it will burst out with suction and suck it up; The first time he cast his gravitational ability, he didn't make any precise control, and the fragment of the long knife buried in the tyrant's chest repelled itself and tore open the tyrant's chest in an instant.
When the long knife is automatically controlled, the ability to exert is always related to "attraction" and "repulsion".
"If this rule is common to both the Knife and the Ark of the Throne, then the Ark of the Throne will sail automatically, and it is actually the ability 'Soul Throne Authority' that automatically controls the Ark of the Throne. But why is this so......"
Wu Qi was trying to think when a voice suddenly interrupted Wu Qi's thoughts.
"Hey, Wu Qi? You've been watching the TV screen for 10 minutes straight, do you have something in mind? ”
Lu Junjun stood in front of him and accosted him. This surprised Wu Qi a little. He came back to his senses and realized that he had been thinking about it for 10 minutes.
After so much time, my mind still can't pierce the secret window paper. After all, the amount of information is too small, and he still can't come to a decent conclusion about why the "Soul King" would control the Throne Ship to advance.
Wu Qi shook his head: "It's a pity, I haven't thought of it yet." ”
"Okay." Lu Junjun sat back in his seat.
Being idle is also idle, since Yue Zhanfei's teammates took the initiative to talk, Wu Qi thought that it was better to continue the conversation.
"Lu Junjun, I have a question for you."
