Although Zhang San's planning must be based on the premise of rationality and efficiency, in order to meet Shi Sanwen's series of willful needs, including "seeing the scenery", the route they finally negotiated was not very comfortable.

The trio from Cairo east will follow the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea all the way north, first to Jerusalem, then to Damascus, and then through Homs, Aleppo, Adana, Nidai, Al-Aqsaray, Ankara, Bolu, Sakaria, and other Middle Eastern cities that most readers of this article have never heard of without looking at the map.

Finally, they will board a special vehicle called the "Orient Express" in Istanbul...... It will be restated later; In short, the Orient Express is currently the only federal land transport route that can pass through the rebel territory on the Black Sea coast, and take you all the way from Istanbul to Paris.

…………

It's still March 7th, at night, nine o'clock.

The broken trailer that Shi San asked had finally arrived in Jerusalem.

Along the way, several times when passing by the gas station, the hunter wanted to use legal or illegal means to change them to another car, but Shi Sanwen just didn't agree.

The reasons are: first, he doesn't want to make extraneous branches; Second, he said that he drove the car easily.

knew that he couldn't argue with his hunting tyrant, so he could only pretend to inadvertently hum lyrics like "Classic car, how many years of silence, black smoke first when you speak" along the way to vent the dissatisfaction in your heart.

In any case, at nine o'clock, they were able to stay at a hotel.

Jerusalem, once the three holy places of Abraham's religion, has become an ordinary and declining city after the great purge of major religious forces by the empire at the beginning of the 21st century.

People living in this parallel universe in the twentieth century would never have imagined that the originally inextricable Palestinian-Israeli conflict and all the religious differences in the world would be resolved in just a few months under the rule of the first "emperor" of the Wickstock Empire.

Jerusalem, which has lost its religious aura, is bleak because of its special significance in religious history, when the empire razed churches, mosques, and even many famous monuments (such as the Western Wall, the Temple Mount, etc.) (most of the churches in other places were converted into tourist attractions and museums), and countless people "buried" these buildings for their faith......

Of course, for people in the 23rd century, these are already more than two centuries old.

Most people in this era have no particular feelings about religion, just as people born in the twenty-first century feel about slavery; The environment in which they live and the knowledge they have learned tell them that religion is only a cultural phenomenon, a derivative of the partial replacement of political functions that was born in an era when the political system was not mature enough and science and technology were not yet developed...... Therefore, they basically cannot understand the mentality of religious believers, let alone why some people argue, fight, bleed, and die for some fictional stories.

It was in such an era that Jerusalem was slowly rebuilt from the ashes. From a small city with an urban area of only 126 square kilometers, it has expanded to a small city with a total area of about 800 square kilometers.

Shi San asked them, and they stayed in a motel in the southern part of the city.

It was night, nine thirty o'clock.

Zhang San opened a single room and had already gone to rest, while Shi Sanwen and Lieba lived in a double room.

Entering the house, Lieba just put his suitcase on the bed and was about to change his clothes to sleep, when he was stopped by Shi Sanwen.

"No need to waste time." Shi San asked to lie down on his bed, put his hands on his head and said, "You won't sleep tonight." ”

"Huh?" When Lieba heard this, his expression immediately changed slightly, and he took three steps back towards the corner.

Although Hunter has experienced many moments in his life that made him feel "a little panicked", this moment is undoubtedly the most terrifying.

"You go out for a run now and come back when it's dawn." Shi Sanwen's next sentence was very unreasonable, but it really relieved the hunter.

"Huh?" Hunter was suspicious, "Why?" ”

"The cultivation has begun, classmate." Shi San asked, "With your qualifications, I think you can practice on the road." ”

"What kind of practice is running?" Hunter said, "Shouldn't you start with the theoretical knowledge of the ability first?" ”

"Theoretical knowledge, I'll talk to you in the car tomorrow." Shi San asked back, "Today because I was driving, I didn't want to focus on two things, so I didn't talk about it, but tomorrow I can talk about it." He paused, "As for what kind of cultivation running is, you'll know when you listen to the theoretical knowledge." ”

When Hunter Ba heard this, he was still skeptical: "I'...... Now go out for a run and run for the night...... If you don't sleep, you still have to listen to a class in the car tomorrow? Aren't you afraid that I'll die of exhaustion? ”

"Will you?" Shi Sanwen asked rhetorically.

"Hmm......" Hunter overbearing, "I don't know." ”

"What's the longest time you've gone without sleep?" Shi San asked again.

"Forty hours, I can't remember ......," Lieba replied, "Before I became a capable person, I used to work for two days and one night in a row because of the top shift, and I felt like I was going to die after work the next day...... But I didn't experience that fatigue after I got the ability. ”

"Oh, that's pretty good." Shi San asked, "Then from today onwards, don't sleep, don't eat or drink, go out for a run every night, and rest in the car during the day to listen to classes." ”

"What?" Hunter was shocked when he heard this, "It's okay if you don't let you sleep...... Still not eating or drinking? Not to mention running, even if you sit still, you will die of thirst in about three days, right? ”

"No, it won't." Shi San asked, "I've seen boxers run desperately without eating or drinking in order to lose weight, and when they are really thirsty, they take a piece of dried shiitake mushrooms to promote saliva secretion, and then spit out the shiitake mushrooms to run, and they can't sweat or pee in the end...... It went on like this for two or three days, and he still didn't die. He paused for half a second, "Oh, of course, they can sleep and rest...... Considering that people are ordinary people, you are a capable person, and you should increase the intensity. ”

"So what's the point of doing that?" Hunter Unconsciously raised his voice, "Lose weight?" ”

"Didn't I say it, listen to my theory tomorrow, and you will understand." Shi Sanwen said, taking out a handheld from his carry-on luggage, as if he was ready to play.

Hunting Ba is not happy, but he can't find a reason to refuse this arrangement for a while, he knows that Shi Sanwen will not let him do this kind of "cultivation" for no reason, and he is not the kind of person who will say the line "If you don't explain it today, I won't go", so he went after all.

"By the way......" walked to the door, and was about to go out, Hunter suddenly thought of something again, and asked casually, "Since I don't have to sleep at all, then why do you want to open a single room and a double room?" Wouldn't it be enough to open a double room or two single rooms? ”

Shi Sanwen didn't even raise his head, and replied with sophistication while playing the game: "I don't want to be mistaken for GAY by the front desk." ”

Hunter roared in his heart at that time: "Are you still afraid of being misunderstood? ”

But he still didn't say it after all, he just said: "Okay...... Count you ruthless. And he opened the door and went out.

…………

There was no word in the middle of the night.

At one o'clock in the morning, Shi Sanwen, who had just slept for less than an hour, suddenly opened his eyes.

If you think that Shi Sanwen is just a person who relies on his omega-level ability to be a powerhouse, then you are very wrong.

The reason why he was able to become the Mentor of the Cross was not because of his innate ability, but because of ...... In addition to being an omega-level mutant, he is also a genius and master who uses his abilities to fight.

At this moment, he will wake up, of course, not to get up at night to go to the toilet - needless to say, you should also know, he can completely empty his bowels and bladder before going to bed if he wants.

Shi Sanwen woke up because someone triggered the "ability defense mechanism" he had arranged around the room.

The principle of this mechanism is simple: first, he starts with all the entrances and exits of the whole room (such as the hallway in front of the door, the area above the door panel, the window edge, the floor outside the window edge, etc.) and the wall in eight directions opposite where he sleeps...... All of them are buried with very small amounts of first.

How small is it, probably to the extent that a normal person will not notice if he eats it.

Some people may find it incredible, but wouldn't people notice if they eat this kind of thing? Yes, it won't...... As long as the amount is small enough.

For example, if an adult inhales or ingests about 100 milligrams of soil and dust every day, on average, you will eat 36,500 milligrams of soil, which is the size of two-thirds of an egg, every year. This is a quantity that people cannot perceive......

Even if the amount is larger, it may not be able to be disadvantaged; For example, for every glass of natural fruit juice you drink, you most likely have eaten three fruit flies; For every bowl of rice, you may eat four or five rice worm eggs......

In short, the defensive net laid by Shi Sanwen will not be discovered unless he encounters someone with a sense of smell close to that of a German shepherd.

Then...... After the is finished, Shi Sanwen will make these substances have a connection with himself, and when those trace amounts of are subjected to a certain degree of pressure or enter the human environment, he will sense it.

Right now, Shi Sanwen knew that someone was standing at his door even if he didn't have to look at it.

Judging by the weight and lung capacity, there were two people, and both were tall and strong adult men.

And these two people are definitely not Zhang San and Hunter, because Shi Sanwen has already left "tracking objects" in the intestines of those two and knows their whereabouts well.

He immediately confirmed the location of the two companions: at this time, the hunter was still quite far away, probably because he was afraid that he would be captured by the camera or interrogated by the police when he ran at night in the city, so he went to the suburbs; And Zhang San was still in a single room at the other end of the corridor.

However, just as he confirmed, he suddenly found that the door of Zhang San's room was ...... There were three people standing here, too.

"No...... Shi San asked in his heart, "Could it be the pursuers from Cairo?" But we're killing the Guards, and they'll have to send at least one more Guards officer or the EF and EAS Special Operations Force to hunt them down...... Besides, Cairo's own defenses are already stretched, where is the surplus combat power to pursue us? ”

As he pondered, the two people outside the door spoke.

The words were not spoken to him, but to the communication device, and the voice was very low.

"We're in place."

"We're in place."

"There were three of them when they came, and one of them went out and hasn't come back yet, should they wait?"

"No need, two is enough, the one that walks looks quite strong, but it's really hard to deal with in the house."

"That'...... The third person came back and found that his companion was missing, what should I do if I went to call the police? ”

"What are you afraid of calling the police, we have succeeded so many times, as long as you don't arrest people in the same place in a row, it's fine."

"Yes, yes, and ...... This time, these three guys are not serious people themselves, and eighty percent of them are fugitives or something...... I went to search their car just now, and found an anti-tracking device under the back seat, which is still a high-end product, which can block the visual signal of the federal traffic camera, and it has to be sold for tens of thousands on the black market. ”

"Hmph...... This is issued, and with this, it will be more convenient for us to do things in the future. ”

"Okay, let's catch it back first, tomorrow at noon, the 'sacrifice' will begin, these two people must be a gift from my lord, both are providential...... Without further ado, let's do it! ”

Shi Sanwen's hearing can reach the same level as the remote monitoring instrument, which is ...... As long as you have the ability to train energy control to the "subtle" realm, you can do it.

From the conversations of some people, Shi Sanwen heard a lot of useful information: first, Mr. Zhang San, who was reliable, had silently helped them do a good job of anti-tracking when he got into the car; Second, these people are definitely not members of the Federation, nor are they resistance groups; Third, what do they do...... Maybe it has something to do with religious activities.

Don't look at Shi Sanwen's appearance, he is about thirty years old, his actual age is very, very old...... Old enough for him to live through a time when religion still existed.

So there are some things that he understands better than the old people of this age; He knew very well how perverse and insane things people could do under the banner of so-called faith.

As he pondered these things, the door to the room had been opened—with a key.

He and Zhang San were attacked in the same form at about the same time: they were suddenly choked, their mouths covered, and a sedative injected into their necks.

Shi San asked if he could resist, but he didn't, he chose to continue to play dead in order to see where these people were going to take him, and ...... What it's used for.
