Volume 1 Turmoil Chapter 028 Depression (1)
Along the way, Qiu Qiong took a nap again, and under the infection of her snoring, Lao Xu couldn't help but yawn a few times, and his face looked half-asleep.
Lao Xu tilted his head sideways, glanced at Qiu Qiong, and scolded in his heart: "This little girl, why do you sleep so soundly!" ”
After a while, Lao Xu really couldn't open his eyes. So, he put one hand on the control panel, and after the blue light swept his palm prints, the system unlocked the autopilot mode.
At first, Lao Xu was influenced by the diligence of several of them, and he was also afraid that something dangerous would happen, so out of safety considerations, he insisted on driving manually. However, looking at the incomparably vast desert around here, there is not even a single figure to be seen, so why is it dangerous?
Lao Xu half-opened his eyes, looked ahead, nodded slightly, and pressed the [Open] button without any further hesitation. After a while, seeing that the car could run smoothly, Lao Xu relieved himself to release the steering wheel and accelerator, and put down the seat with one hand and covered the blanket with the other.
As soon as his eyes opened and closed, he fell asleep instantly. For a while, there was a snoring sound in the cab.
As the truck moved forward, the unchanged desert outside the window gradually became a little more blue, and the wind was no longer full of sand and dust, but a lot more humid and fresh air. After another ten kilometers or so, the bottom of the car has changed from soft sand to asphalt-paved roads, and tall poplar trees are planted on both sides of the road.
The shade of the tree hit her face, which made Qiu Qiong, who was used to the direct sunlight, feel a little uncomfortable, only to see her frown slightly, rubbing her right eye with one hand, opening her misty left eye, and looking out of the window in a daze.
Suddenly, the snow-white trunks passing by outside the window deeply grasped Qiu Qiong's heart, she was stunned for a moment, and after making sure that it was not a dream, she sat up suddenly, looking extremely surprised.
"Old, old! Lao Xu! Wake up! Qiu Qiong shouted.
Lao Xu's eyes hadn't opened yet, but he had already instinctively kicked off the blanket, sat up straight in an instant, and grabbed the steering wheel with both hands. The next moment, his eyes widened, staring warily ahead, and he shouted urgently.
"What's wrong! What's wrong! What's going on! At risk? ”
Qiu Qiong was dumbfounded, slapped her palm on Lao Xu's arm, and said with a light smile: "There is no danger, Lao Xu, are you so surprised?" ”
After taking a deep breath of air, Lao Xu came to his senses, and when he saw that the scenery around him was no longer a barren desert, but a yellow earth full of hay, he immediately understood why Qiu Qiong was shouting like this.
Lao Xu let go of the steering wheel again, first glanced at Qiu Qiong with disgust, then lay down with his pillow hands, and said with an unhappy face: "Xiao Qiong, you figure it out, who is startling!" Isn't it just that the scenery outside has changed, what a fuss! ”
"Tsk!" Qiu Qiong pinched Lao Xu's arm hard, and said confidently, "Of course I'll make a fuss, I've never seen such a scene!" ”
Lao Xu curled up, rubbed the sore spot with one hand, and asked with a puzzled face, "What?" Xiao Qiong, have you never seen such a landscape? ”
Qiu Qiong shook her head and replied with certainty: "I haven't seen it." ”
"That's weird, this is the only way from Greed to Laziness!"
Lao Xu said, tapped the control panel, and a holographic map was projected in the center of the cab. On the map, a green route starts from Greed and goes all the way to Lazy.
"I was driving on this green line, and halfway through, I met you, who were alone. And there is only one greedy town in all directions of Lazy Town, if you go all the way from there, you can only take this route, you should have seen such a scenery! If you really haven't seen it, then it means, Xiao Qiong, you are not from Greedy Town! Then you...... Where are you from? ”
"I ......" Qiu Qiong was speechless for a while, and after thinking about it for a while, she replied hesitantly, "I...... I don't know...... However, my home seems to be in a place called 'Kunlun'. ”
"What? Kunlun? Where is it?! ”
Qiu Qiong shook her head, her eyebrows were full of confusion, she really wanted to know, where was Kunlun in her dream? Is it true or not?
Seeing Qiu Qiong's distressed appearance, Lao Xu hurriedly patted his chest and shouted confidently: "This is easy to do!" Just ask, don't you know? ”
"Ask? Who to ask? ”
Lao Xu pointed to the control panel and shouted, "Of course it's about it!" Ahem, search for a place, Kunlun. ”
As soon as the words fell, a small circle popped up on the holographic map in front of them. However, the circle turned for a long time, and the map continued to expand, but there were still no results.
Lao Xu couldn't help but gasp, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, logically speaking, with the huge amount of knowledge in this system and the extremely fast search speed, the answer should be given in seconds.
"It's weird. Yes or no, you should give an answer right away, what's going on with this endless search? ”
Qiu Qiong sighed in disappointment, and comforted with a wry smile: "It's okay, Lao Xu, in fact, whether there is an answer or not, it doesn't matter so much to me." ”
Lao Xu reluctantly turned off the search, crossed his hands, and after lying down on his side, he looked at Qiu Qiong blankly, suddenly felt distressed, and asked softly, "Why is it not important?" Is that your home? Don't you have the urge to figure things out? ”
Qiu Qiong pouted, waved her hands and sighed, "Alas, of course I want to figure it out!" It's just that my brain is not civilized, it's been so long, and I haven't remembered the past! Now, I don't think about it, because it's so tiring to think about those things! If you don't know, you don't know, take a step at a time. Moreover, with you by my side, I feel quite happy. ”
Lao Xu smiled, it was the kind of smile that was particularly gratifying, I saw him slowly give a thumbs up, nodded to Qiu Qiong and said, "Xiao Qiong, you are right with such a mentality!" I'm also afraid that you will be depressed because you have too many unsolvable questions in your mind. But now, I don't think I need to worry about it. ”
Qiu Qiong and Lao Xu looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time covered the blankets, ready to sleep for a while. But at this moment, the truck braked suddenly, and the control panel immediately sounded the alarm and lit up a red light. The system even straightened their seats directly, as if to warn them that this was not the time to sleep.
The operation of the system was so surprising that Qiu Qiong pressed her head with one hand, feeling that her brains were gone, and asked in a daze: "Lao Xu, what's the situation?" ”
Lao Xu was also in the same trance, and after shaking his head vigorously, he barely calmed down. He first glanced at the control panel, and a line of large words [abnormal road ahead] was displayed on the screen. Immediately afterwards, Lao Xu looked up at the road in front of him, and saw potholes all over the ground, some of which were still shallow, while others were half a meter deep. At first glance, it is estimated that even people are not able to walk steadily, let alone such a truck.
Lao Xu couldn't help but be taken aback, shook his head and shouted: "I went, I was fine when I came back, why did I suddenly become such a ghost!" ”
Qiu Qiong raised her head, also taken aback by the road condition, and asked, "What is this...... Was it vandalized? ”
Lao Xu shook his head, and suddenly felt a deep uneasiness in his heart, pondering: "These roads leading to the town, the people of Greedy Town are all regularly maintained, how can they be rotten like this?" Don't...... What's going on in Greed Town? ”
Qiu Qiong on the side didn't think of this, after all, she didn't contact the people in Greedy Town, and she didn't know how much they valued their partners. This is the first time in the history of Greedy Town.
"Lao Xu, what should we do now? The car can't drive over......" Qiu Qiong said with a sad face.
"Well, it doesn't matter. If we can't drive this way, we will ......" As he spoke, Lao Xu turned his head sideways, pursed his lips and smiled evilly, and raised his eyebrows at Qiu Qiong.
"Are you trying to ......" Qiu Qiong took a deep breath and frantically searched for something to hold onto.
At this moment, Lao Xu pressed a button marked "jet", and three pillars popped up under the car to support the whole truck. At the same time, the four wheels snapped under the car and with a rumbling sound, they transformed into four jets.
Lao Xu stepped on the accelerator, and the four jets ignited at the same time, spewing out fierce blue flames. In just one second, the powerful propulsion force propelled the entire truck vertically into the air, nearly 100 meters above the ground.
Qiu Qiong closed her eyes tightly, grabbed the chair with both hands, and when she thought of the scene of the last time she swooped into the valley, she broke out in a cold sweat with fear, and shouted: "Lao Xu, don't mess around!" ”
Lao Xu laughed out loud and said confidently: "Haha! Xiao Qiong, you can rest assured! Didn't you stay intact in that condition last time! This time, isn't it just flying on the ground, don't be afraid! Raise your guts! With that, Lao Xu stepped on the accelerator and pushed the steering wheel forward at the same time, and the truck immediately sprayed forward.
Qiu Qiong's face shook violently, she barely opened her eyes, only to feel that her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were about to be shattered, shouting: "You~~slow~~point~~I~~fast~~I can't stand it~~~~"
At this time, Lao Xu only cared about enjoying this feeling of speeding, where could he still hear Qiu Qiong's words! If he could, he would like to increase his speed a little more, cross the red line of victory, and then raise his hands and cheer on the spot!
However, Lao Xu was destined not to cheer, because not long after he stepped on the accelerator, a line of decreasing numbers popped up on the windshield.
【3000m】
……
【1500m】
……
【600m】
It turned out that this line of numbers referred to their distance from Greedy Town.
When there were still [100 meters] left, Lao Xu sighed angrily, reluctantly stepped on the brakes, and pulled up the steering wheel. The four jets then turned, spewing the most powerful energy forward, and in the blink of an eye, the van was hovering in the air.
Qiu Qiong gasped, gritted her teeth and shouted angrily: "Lao Xu! I'm telling you to slow down! You didn't hear me! ”
However, Lao Xu didn't reply, because after he looked down at the situation in Greedy Town, his thoughts instantly became a mess, and he unconsciously fell into hesitation.
- Should I go down?
