Chapter 19: Departure
The world of the Twin Stacks has ended the once-in-a-decade Great Replacement and returned to normal time. Every day at sunrise and sunset, Donglu Village also returns to its quiet and peaceful days.
The goddess gave Zhang Xiaohu a full set of equipment a day in advance, a set of thick clothes, a pair of animal skin boots, and a large canvas bag, which contained water bottles, ropes, multi-functional knives, anti-inflammatory pills, flintstones and other things that need to be used outdoors.
At dawn on the second day, Zhang Xiaohu and others had already left Donglu Village under the leadership of the goddess.
For this place where he has lived for more than ten days, Zhang Xiaohu is still a little reluctant, the people here and what happens here will become an unforgettable experience for him.
Sitting in the carriage, Li Yichen couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Senior, why is the goddess with us!" "According to the previous agreement, in order to avoid trouble, the goddess still wears a mask and wears the white robe she used to wear.
Zhang Xiaohu explained: "Lord Shenpo has other things, so come with us. "It's hard for him to say, silly sister, that's the other you, with us looking for a way back.
Now it seems that Yichen will have to infiltrate some slowly along the way, so as to prevent her from knowing that she will be frightened in the future. However, he has been thinking about a question, there are two Li Yichen now, so what if he really returns to the real world in the future, is it also two! He felt horror at the thought of this.
In addition to the goddess and Zhao Zixuan in the car, there was also King Peter, among the people who crossed over this time, only he wanted to return to the original world, so Zhang Xiaohu decided to take him with him, after all, there was one more possibility. King Peter said that he had not driven the carriage and offered to drive.
Zhang Xiaohu looked at the goddess sitting on the side, thought for a while, and asked, "That!" That goddess! He really didn't want to call it that, but there was no better one to call it now.
"Well, you can call me Chenyi, you don't have to call me Lord Goddess!" The goddess replied, "Is there anything wrong?" ”
"Well, well, I'll call you Chenyi!" Zhang Xiaohu understood as soon as he heard it, what Chenyi, isn't it just Yichen upside down, she really has a way.
"Where are we going, you just talk about going east, but isn't it a great wasteland to go east?"
"Well, let's go to the Holy Land first, I left something there and need to go and retrieve it." Chenyi said.
Zhang Xiaohu knew very early that in fact, the goddess did not always live in the village, and only appeared in the Holy Land during the Great Change, and it seemed that the Holy Land was actually a secret residence for her.
Chenyi took out a map, spread it out and pointed it to the crowd and said: "Over the years, I have searched all over the world, and found several places that may be exits, the closest to us is in a mountain col near the holy place, where there is an underground passage, there is no bottom, I once traveled alone for three days, and there are many dangers in the middle, I know that I cannot complete the task of exploring the bottom alone, this time we have enough manpower, we can start from there." ”
The atmosphere in the car was a little awkward, and no one said a word. In the past, Zhao Zixuan came to mobilize everyone's emotions, but now he looked at Li Yichen and then at Chenyi, and suddenly felt that his head was big, so he simply didn't say a word along the way, just slept with his eyes closed, and occasionally woke up bored, so he took the watch he got from King Peter and played the game.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohu had no choice but to look at the map repeatedly, pretending that he was busy, and he didn't take the initiative to speak.
Instead, Chenyi took the initiative to speak, and she said, "Do you want to know what happened to the Wayfinder?" ”
The people in the car immediately nodded with great interest.
Chen Yi said: "Actually, the wayfinders are a group of very poor people, they often come from the present and the future, have advanced knowledge and culture, master advanced technology, because they can't stand the current life, so they are actively looking for a way back, but I don't know what they found, someone deliberately turned them into that, there is a genetic regression." Therefore, in the previous search process, once I touched something incomprehensible, I immediately stopped, I am not afraid of death, but I don't want to be like a beast with only the instinct of survival, wandering aimlessly. ”
"Yi... Chenyi, you mean! Zhao Zixuan was so excited that he almost shouted wrong, and hurriedly corrected: "Are you saying that we may also become like that?" ”
"The odds are high! There must be a group of unknown people or forces in this world, but I don't know what their purpose is! Chen Yi said that over the years, she has discovered too many incredible places during her travels, but she has never had the courage to delve into them. As she herself said, she is not afraid of death, but she is not willing to become a wild man. "If you regret it, it's too late!"
"What do you regret, the master is not afraid of anything!" Zhao Zixuan beat the drum in his heart, but his kung fu was not bad at all, he patted Zhang Xiaohu and said with a smile: "Lao Zhang, you have really become a wild man, and your buddy's chest muscles are bigger than yours!" ”
Zhang Xiaohu scolded with a smile: "Go!" Go! I can't hear anything! Is this a matter of changing the Savage, Chenyi is saying that we should be careful, there will be unknown forces to hinder us. ”
Zhao Zixuan's face turned red, he really didn't expect this, but he still emphasized: "Of course the master heard it, but I'm not afraid of anything!" ”
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became lively, Zhang Xiaohu looked at Chen Yi, and her heart was fluctuating, it seems that her changes are really big, in this situation before, Li Yichen must have looked at everyone quietly, and rarely took the initiative to speak, but more than two hundred years have passed, and she has begun to play an absolute dominant position in the team.
There was a loud "pop", and a bullet grazed Zhang Xiaohu's arm, piercing a hole in the car board. Several people in the car immediately fell down in the car, Zhang Xiaohu looked at his arm, his clothes had been torn, this person's marksmanship was either extremely accurate, deliberately aiming like this, or extremely inaccurate, he originally wanted to hit the body, but he missed. But no matter what the case is, this person has a gun in his hand but can't fake it, and he and others have no ability to resist at all!
"Where's the gun?" Zhao Zixuan's face was pale, and he curled up in the car covered in cold sweat.
"You all obediently get out of the car for the uncle!" A rough voice came from the nearby woods. Zhang Xiaohu remembered that this seemed to be the voice of the warlord, didn't he leave, how could he ambush here? He kicked Zhao Zixuan and whispered: "Master Zhao, your eldest brother is here, go down and talk to him, let's go over, there is no grudge in the past, and there is no grudge in the near future." ”
"Get out! Lao Zhang, you bad thing, when is it, you still have this bad idea, you go down and talk to him! ”
"Smack!" Another gunshot rang out, and the voice shouted angrily, "Get out of here!" Let me say it a few times, otherwise Lao Tzu will shoot. ”
King Peter shouted, "Don't shoot, I'm down." ”
"Bad seeds!" Zhao Zixuan said with disdain: "I can't imagine that people in the 22nd century are so cowardly!" ”
"Don't you lie on your stomach in the 21st century, think of a way!" Zhang Xiaohu said.
"What can I do, Chenyi, what can you do, you have been here for more than 200 years, this is your territory, he is wild in you, you don't pick him up!"
"My guns are all in the Holy Land, and I don't have them with me!" Chen Yi regretted a little, over the years, there are not no people who have passed through in modern times, but the probability of holding a gun is very low, and she has collected a few in the past two hundred years, but she usually doesn't need it at all, and she doesn't carry it with her. I didn't expect that this time there would be a warlord soldier ruffian with a gun in his hand.
