Chapter 19: Quiz

March 14th.

This day was the eighth day of hunger strike, water shortage, and insomnia.

The first three days were not difficult, after all, his physique was different from ordinary people, but on the fourth day, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse.

Symptoms of dehydration, hunger, fatigue...... These long-overdue sensations proliferate as if a boundary had been shattered.

The cultivation of hunting tyrants can only be regarded as truly starting from this moment.

In the next few days, in addition to listening to Shi Sanwen's lectures in the car during the day, at night, he had to insist on running all night while being extremely sleepy and could fall asleep while standing.

He hadn't felt like going to the toilet for many days, and no matter how much he ran, he couldn't sweat a drop or even saliva.

His stomach had shrunk to a third of its original size due to hunger, and his sense of smell had become more sensitive than that of a dog, and he could sense everything that was edible or inedible within a radius of several hundred meters......

What's even more terrifying is that this hellish day shows no end at all.

However, Hunter did not raise any objections to this, and even the words of complaint were gone...... He just used his willpower to support his body that had already broken through the limit, and continued this daily routine.

Some people may think that he was forced by Shi Sanwen's obscenity and had to do it.

But it's not......

To be honest, the current hunter is not afraid of anything, including death, because he is already worthy of the name "life is better than death".

Now he is supported by two thoughts:

First, he secretly fought with Shi Sanwen in his heart, he just wanted to see how long this "Ability Mentor" was still going to torture himself, as long as the other party didn't take the initiative to let go, he would continue to carry it, and if he died, he would die, anyway, he did it according to Shi Sanwen's method, if he died, it would be Shi San's mistake, and he won.

Second, so far, he is also curious about how long he can last...... How far can the limits beyond the limits be pushed?

In this way, Hunter ushered in the eighth day of cultivation.

It was also on this day that they came to Istanbul, one of the most important transit stations in Zhang San's planned route.

Here, there is a railway known as the "Land Wonder", on this railway, there is only one train running all year round, and its code name is "Orient Express"; Those who board this train can cross the European continent overnight, from Istanbul to Paris.

There is no doubt that the "Orient Express" of the 23rd century in this parallel universe is completely different from the eponymous thing of the 19th century; Designed and supervised by Charles Rohr, a legendary inventor active in the early 22nd century of the universe, it was one of the largest land-based projects completed in the early years of the Commonwealth.

It's called a "spectacle" because Dr. Rohr, who designed it, was a wonder in his own right; The greatest inventor of the last century, who had a terrible sense of direction and refused to drive any vehicle that he did not build, led to the creation of something you might only see in cartoons......

The metal track of the railway is in the shape of an animal vertebrae, and in addition to the cross rails laid at the bottom of the rail, there are curved upward extensions on both sides of the tracks, and the width of the bottom of the rails alone reaches 12 meters.

Yes, a full twelve meters, and from this it can be seen that what is driving in this "spine track" is extremely huge.

If a common rail train is compared to a snake, then the "Orient Express" is a dragon, not so much a train, but a land aircraft carrier, a mobile fortress......

The massive, slightly flattened cylindrical body at the bottom and top, with no "head and tail", has a completely symmetrical appearance at both ends; The cab is located in the middle of the train, and there is only one lever in the entire cab, and when you break this pole to the west, the train will start, head for Paris, and stop automatically when it reaches the end point. In the same way, if you break this pole to the east, the train will follow the same track, "the rear of the train will become the head", and then it will run from Paris to Istanbul.

Of course, in the process of driving, this pole is not broken, and the train also has a corresponding safety system, if there is an entrance and exit of the car in a stationary state is not closed, the lever will also enter a stuck state.

In any case, Dr. Rohr's work, which "walks between genius and idiot", has finally withstood the test of time with the support of its powerful technical power.

For a century, the "even the stupid" train has traveled between the two wings of the continent, making it one of the planet's most famous landmarks for its unrivalled safety, speed and transport capacity.

This kind of thing, which has been regarded as the "common cultural heritage of all mankind", will not be targeted even in wartime, so it was chosen by Zhang San as their means of transportation through the war zone.

…………

In the afternoon, it began to rain heavily.

For the three fugitives who are being hunted down by the Commonwealth, the weather is not a good thing.

Relying on a few fake documents and a few raincoats, Lieba and the others didn't spend much effort to get through the camera and board the Orient Express with the traffic.

With Zhang San's ability, it is not difficult to get three cheap "car tickets (that is, driving directly into the parking compartment inside the Orient Express) with your own car"; When entering the city, in order to avoid unforeseen branches, he had already turned off the anti-surveillance shielding device on the car.

Everything seems to be going well, going well...... It's a little unsettling.

"Levin." When Zhang San parked the car in the parking space, Shi Sanwen suddenly opened his mouth and called Hunter.

"What's the matter?" The hunter here and now seemed to be the same as he had been a few days ago, and since the day the hunger pang appeared, he had been rapidly emaciated and emaciated almost every day at a rate visible to the naked eye; A strong man who was originally a tiger with a bear's waist is now a slewd man, with deep eye sockets, cloudy eyes, and a hoarse voice.

"You've done a great week." This seems to be the first time that Shi Sanwen has given Hunter Tyrant affirmation in the matter of cultivation, "Now it's time to take a quiz and test your results." ”

Hearing this, Hunter was instantly shocked, and said in his heart: "Tossing the results of this week, isn't it that I'm about to hang up?" ”

But all he could say was a "Huh?" like a candle in the wind? to express his doubts.

Shi Sanwen didn't let him wait any longer, and immediately explained: "About three days ago, a fairly strong guy targeted us...... He was cautious and kept a considerable distance from us, waiting for an opportunity; If nothing else...... He should have followed the clues of the Cairo incident to chase the pursuer, because he knew that I had the strength to kill the guard officer in seconds, so he had some scruples and never made a move. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, turned his head from the passenger seat, and looked at the hunter who was sitting in the back seat of the car: "At this moment, he has followed us on the Orient Express, and is close to an unprecedented distance......

"Obviously, this guy thinks the time is ripe to do it.

"I'm not sure where he got his certainty, maybe he judged that the train would give him some kind of advantage when it was in motion.

"Anyway, as far as I can guess, when the train moves, that's when he attacks, and the test for you is ...... Deal with him. ”

After hearing this, Hunter Ba laughed at the time: "Huh...... Hahaha......"

Hunter Ba had a smile on his face, but he wanted to cry a little in his heart, but he had no water on his body for a long time, and he couldn't squeeze out tears at all.

"I say......" Hunter replied with a wry smile, "Even if I was full of energy a week ago, I might not have been able to handle this because I was worried that I wouldn't be able to use my abilities at will to prevent rampage...... Whew...... "It took a lot of effort to say such a long sentence, and he had to catch his breath before he continued, "Right now, I'm dying of nothing, what do you think I can do to get rid of that 'pretty strong guy' in your mouth?" ”

His question was very reasonable, but Shi Sanwen replied in a very relaxed tone: "I have told you all these days about the knowledge of supernatural abilities, as long as you listen carefully...... You should be able to handle this quiz with ease. ”

Just as they were talking, the radio in the train rang out: "Passengers, please note that this train is about to depart, all doors will be closed within a minute, and the carriages will be sealed; When the train starts, the acceleration of the jump-like engine may cause you slight discomfort, please do not panic, the discomfort will quickly disappear as the speed stabilizes......"
