0311 Betrayal
The road became more difficult to walk. The barricades became extremely numerous. Previous heavy rains may have caused more traffic problems, and landslides have occurred in many places. Fortunately, there are people in the convoy who keep clearing the way.
And every time it's time to eat, Boss Lan will personally bring someone to bring two portions of food over. Because it's snowing heavily. The road was not easy to walk, but he would personally carry the food box and deliver it every time. When Zhang Chen accepted it, he was hunched on the side. asked Zhang Chen to say, "Okay." Or, "That's good." He will be as elated as if he had been rewarded.
To be honest, Zhang Chen really doesn't like this. But this may be the case with some people's life habits. People think that this will increase the goodwill of others. That Zhang Chen naturally can't go too far. And Zhang Chen felt that they would break up in the next two days anyway, so he didn't bother to say anything.
He put one of the pieces in storage. Food was already in short supply at this time. And in a short period of time, Zhang Chen is afraid that he will not encounter a human safety zone that can be systematically procured.
Then the food in the space is extremely important. If you can't waste it, you must not waste it at all.
Time in the storage space stops. The next time you put something in, it's the same as when you put it in. For example, the spicy chicken from last time is still hot when taken out. It was only when I ate that plate of spicy chicken that I started to pay attention to this. In the past, Zhang Chen only used the space to hold some dry food or something. Now I feel that in fact, I can bring more dishes made by famous chefs and put them in when they are hot. In this way, when you are adventuring in the wild, you can also eat hot dishes just prepared by celebrity chefs at any time to spice up your life.
And so on all the way on, and at night.
Because the wind and snow are too big. There was another big square ahead. So the convoy sent people to open the way, and temporarily camped in a small town called Ladder Mouth Building F. Generally one of the best places to house is a hotel. After all, you have to face the guests, so although there is no one to take care of after the end of the world, it is still more convenient to live and travel. The second is the political F building. The General Government Building is one of the most majestic and ornate buildings in the area. It's very easy to find a place to live in it. Before the end of the world, there were many places where there was a bean F slag project. But there will never be a bean F scum project in the government building, and these goods still look at themselves very expensive. So this kind of building is generally very sturdy. Live in this kind of place. There is no need to worry about the collapse of the house.
The convoy broke open the door of the Zheng F compound, and the knife men cleared the field. Then lock the compound door. Then, while sending the carriage and horses to open the road, Boss Lan specially arranged the best floor of the building for Zhang Chen as a residence.
The food in the evening is also specially arranged. Although it is not killed alive, there is meat and vegetables in the same way. It was also sent by Boss Lan himself. It was snowing heavily, and this respectful Boss Lan personally brought the prepared food while it was hot.
Zhang Chen has a bit of a feeling of being an emperor.
"It's a matter of delivering food on a snowy day. Don't come by yourself. Zhang Chen looked at the snow outside and said.
Boss Lan completely disagreed, "How can it be done?" You've saved the lives of our entire convoy. How can I not be grateful. β
Zhang Chen shook his head and didn't say anything more.
Boss Lan knew that Zhang Chen didn't like to be disturbed by others. Then he bent over and said, "Sir." Then I won't bother, let's go down first. There's an open road outside. β
"Go ahead."
This boss is going on again.
By the next morning. When Zhang Chen got up. The road was already opened.
The convoy drove out, and it was about a hundred miles away from the Wulong River Bridge. Around ten o'clock. Stopped temporarily in an unknown town. The location of the parking is a big hotel.
This time is not the time to eat. But the convoy came to a halt. Not sure what you're waiting for.
And almost all the people in the convoy, except for Zhang Chen, got off.
After about half an hour of standing still. Inform the meal. You must know that this time is only about half past ten in the morning. Zhang Chen is familiar with the usual meals, which are usually delayed until half past one. Today it was more than two hours ahead of schedule. It's weird. And this time when eating, Boss Lan did not personally deliver the meal. It was sent by one of his usual relatives.
Zhang Chen didn't mean to meddle. But the speed of the convoy was too slow, and he was a little dissatisfied. If you finish eating, walk slowly. Zhang Chen definitely has to speak. While he was eating, Xin Dong'er, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said aloud, "There are two supernatural beings......
Zhang Chen frowned and looked at the hotel in the distance in front of the car.
"The Adept?" Zhang Chen said while eating. The climate control system of this Audi A8 is still good. It's just a bit oil-consuming.
"Is it new?"
Xin Dong'er pinched her ears with her hands and said slowly, "Yes...... Inside that house......"
Zhang Chen looked at the hotel a little strangely, "These people. Did you make an appointment to meet here a long time ago? β
Most of the knife men ate in their own cars.
Only a very small number of his personal entourage followed Boss Lan into the hotel.
Half an hour later, Boss Lan came out of the hotel with two strangers next to him. In the past few days, these people in the team, although Zhang Chen didn't talk much. But the face is still familiar. These two people have never met.
Both are medium-sized men in their thirties and average-looking. One of them was wearing a thin blue spring coat with a pockmarked face.
The other was a little more surprising. On this snowy day, he only wore a red vest. Revealing the dark, well-developed muscles of the upper body. He crossed his hands on his waist and didn't seem to feel cold at all.
The three of them seemed to be talking about something as they walked. Behind everyone there was a man helping to lift the umbrella.
Zhang Chen's ear power is quite good. At this time, although I was in the car, I could still hear some voices talking.
Boss Lan kept nodding, "Massachusetts, you are the emperor...... Business here in the future. You can get ......" The pockmarks of the two looked happy.
People are always interested in compliments that are beyond their strength. And Boss Lan, who is on the side of the horse, will say this, and I am afraid that these two people will not be able to reach that level.
"How's the strength of the two of them?" Zhang Chen put the food in his hand on the bridge and asked.
Xin Dong'er's voice was very soft, "It's similar to the monster you killed yesterday......"
"Yes."
β¦β¦
These two people should be more famous. At least Zhang Chen could feel it. When these two people arrived. Boss Lan's attitude towards himself has changed a little. It's not that I'm arrogant to myself. It was a subtle feeling of finding a stronger backer.
There is often a saying about strength, which is called Wen Wu first, Wu Wu Wu second. When a person's strength is not the first in the eyes of others, then his influence will often drop by a huge notch.
For Zhang Chen, this feeling is still very clear.
Absolutely. He didn't care about any of that. He had no intention of competing for the first place with a group of people who were going to say goodbye soon. Besides, there are more and more mutated monsters now. The strength is also getting stronger and stronger. Don't improve your own strength. But what kind of reputation is there to fight with the human powers? That's sick.
So he just took it lightly.
When Boss Lan ate again after that, he no longer sent it over personally. Those two Adepts had been riding in the same car as Boss Blue. At three o'clock in the afternoon, I encountered a roadblock. Wait for the barricade to be cleared. Boss Lan nodded and took the two of them around to look at the scenery.
The three of them walked beside Zhang Chen's car and laughed. Boss Lan was also introducing, "The gentleman in this car is also an anomaly. Saved us before. β
He said with a smile. The man in the red vest reached out and knocked twice on the Audi A8. After glancing at the car, he turned around and left. This attitude is definitely not polite.
Boss Lan smiled and nodded in the car. Indicates that it is none of his business.
At this time, a knife hand in front of him ran over with a sweat and said to Boss Lan, "Boss." It's a bit hard to get in front of you. There are big icebergs. It's blocked. We don't have the tools to get it open. β
"Iceberg?"
"It's not. It was the fallen mud mountain that froze. It was frozen and couldn't be dug up at all. β
Boss Blue, "This ......"
The red vest immediately said. "And the frozen? I'll take a look. β
The group of three walked forward together. Zhang Chen in the car squinted at the backs of the three people. In the distance, some people who were opening the road were helpless around a huge frozen ground in the middle of the road.
Then the three men walked behind. Everyone else walked away. Leaving the Red Vest alone, he pointed one hand at the mud barricade, and the red light lit up. A huge flame was released from that hand. Within seconds, the flames had completely enveloped the entire mud mountain.
That kind of majesty obviously shocked everyone. This is a true elemental anomalous. There was a look of adoration in everyone's eyes. Three minutes later, the Red Vests were on fire. The dirt was smoking, and the mud was already slowly starting to flow down.
The workers who cleared the wrecker stepped forward together. The dirt road had turned into real mud and was very easy to excavate.
Ten minutes later, the passage had been dug up.
Zhang Chen leaned on the sofa and said, "It seems to have a bit of strength." β
Xin Dong'er just smiled. Those beautiful eyes kept looking at Zhang Chen. At this time, he said, "Actually...... There's also an Adept among them......"
"And another?"
"Hmm." Xin Dong'er said, "However, it is very weak. It's the man in blue who helped people with umbrellas......"
When Xin Dong'er pointed. Zhang Chen took a closer look. This person has been following Boss Lan almost every step of the way.
"He's almost just a Cheng dΓΉ ............ who just had a special ability"
At this time, the two supernatural beings in front of him. is talking to Boss Lan with a proud face. After that, they hardly looked at Zhang Chen's side again.
Zhang Chen guessed that these two people had also asked Boss Lan about Zhang Chen's strength. For the fact that he killed the mutant monkey with his sword. I'm afraid it wasn't taken to heart by them.
When you eat later. Although the person who delivered the meal came. But the things that were delivered were much more rudimentary. After setting fire to the road from this red vest. Boss Lan also changed his previous enthusiasm for Zhang Chen. It's just that when we meet occasionally, we will laugh.
If what he let Zhang Chen experience before was the feeling of the emperor being served. Then it is still the feeling of the emperor, but the feeling after the fall of the emperor.
Zhang Chen was not a good person. But it was impossible for him not to take what he had promised. After the end times, there is no law or justice in the outside world. This surname Lan sent food. Zhang Chen never ate again.
What Zhang Chen really suspects is that this guy is probably not as simple as being arrogant. When camping that night, Boss Lan's attitude was still polite. But the tone is not as simple as it is a little worse.
So Zhang Chen didn't get out of the car that night. Just sleeping in your own car. The space for Audi is not bad. After the seat was knocked down. You can make a bed as much as you can.
Someone who hired two waves of bodyguards. And he only wants to come up with a wave of money. will inevitably choose one of them that they think is more reliable. There is also a greater interest in the party. Although Zhang Chen had a certain strength before. But those two supernatural people at this time seem to be stronger on the surface, and they are quite famous in this Massachusetts. And I'm afraid that this person surnamed Lan will also have some interest cooperation with them. The possibility of something going wrong is already very high.
At noon the next day, the convoy cleared a large number of roadblocks. Arrived at the last town overpass in front of the Wujiang Bridge.
At this point, the two parties can already break up. Zhang Chen was not a good person. But what is promised, he will definitely take.
At lunchtime. The meal was opened in front, but Boss Lan didn't send someone to deliver the meal. These people eat for half an hour.
A black suit came knocking on the car door. After Zhang Chen lowered the glass. The black suit looked at Zhang Chen and said expressionlessly, "The boss said that he wanted to invite you to dinner." In addition, I will settle the bill with you. β
The tempered glass of Zhang Chen's car window is 47 centimeters thick, which can block machine gun bullets.
He sat in the car and said, "You don't have to eat." Just tell your boss to unload the oil for me. β
The man, apparently surprised, glanced up into the distance. There, the red vest with his muscles exposed, was sitting and chatting with Boss Lan and Mazi by the door of his RV.
The attitude of the black suit hardened and said coldly," the boss said. You have to go. β
Zhang Chen glanced at him coldly and said, "Is it right to let me go alone?" β
The man smiled and said, "Yes." Zhang Chen suddenly pushed the car door out, and with a snap, the heavy impact force knocked the man in the suit who came to speak out more than four meters away and crashed into the big truck in front. He sat down on the ground bleeding from his mouth and nose and never got up again.
Zhang Chen got out of the car and walked over.
The red vest and pockmarks, they had obviously heard the movement here. The three of them were all looking at Zhang Chen's side. Among them, the red vest was closest to Zhang Chen, and he sat on the car door with his hands crossed over his chest.
After Zhang Chen approached, he raised his chin and asked. "What's the matter with you?"
Zhang Chen ignored him, and directly pointed to Boss Lan behind him and said, "Give me the oil, and I'll let you go." β
The blue fat man was clearly frightened. He jerked back.
Those two Adepts had apparently seen the world. One of them, Mako, laughed and sighed. The red vest said with his hands still crossed over his chest. "Hey, we're still here."
Zhang Chen, "I wanted to save some trouble. β
At this time, Boss Lan said repeatedly, "It's none of my business." The knifemen behind him drew their knives at this point. But they all retreated behind Boss Lan. Although they didn't dare to fight Zhang Chen. But apparently they are with Boss Blue's people.
Ma Zi, one of the two supernatural beings, smiled, "Old Lan, you are too timid. Isn't it just killing a pig? He pointed at Zhang Chen.
The Red Vest snorted, "Originally, we wanted to call you over. By the way, tie up your chick from behind and kill you. So as not to get the car dirty. As soon as Lao Lan saw me, he said to me, your car is good. The woman is also beautiful, so give me a greeting gift. I ......"
When he said this, he already had a punch! A thud hit him in the mouth. Because his fist was fast and straight, the second half of his sentence was like swallowing. The huge impact caused the man to fall backwards and out. Pounced on Boss Blue's car engine. The snow on the roof of the car was knocked out in all directions.
". You're looking for death!! At the moment when the pockmarked man was cursing, the person had already rushed up. He was followed by an ice blade. It was a knife wrapped in ice. And behind the knife was his right hand. There was a cloud of blue ice gas on that hand. This person has obviously been trained, and his strength is not weak.
Zhang Chen didn't take the sword, only slightly sideways flashed the knife in his hand. The right hand was directly connected to the man's right hand. When the hands of the two intersected, they only heard the sound of a snap and the sound of bones breaking. When the two separated again, the pockmarked right hand had already flipped 180 degrees along with the wrist bone. There is also a blue ice flame on the palm of the hand. But anyone can see that the angle of that hand is definitely broken.
"Ah......h In the screams, the pockmarked child withdrew again and again. His hand holding the skate, now clutching his wrist, turned pale.
"Damn......" The red vest that had been knocked over on the front cover of the car had already gotten up at this point. He jumped down, "I'll burn you!" Both hands released flames at Zhang Chen. The huge flames that erupted like fireworks directly enveloped Zhang Chen.
The temperature of his one hand could melt away a huge mountain of mud that even the frozen iron manuscript could not dig up in a few minutes. At this time, both hands came out, and the blue boss and the knife hands behind them stepped back together. Even an iron man is going to be burned.
He smirked and set the fire on fire, and a hand burst out of the flames and grabbed him by the neck. When it was released, there were five holes in the neck, and blood was spurting wildly. The flames in his hands stopped directly, and he stepped back with his hands clutching his neck.
And Zhang Chen stood there unscathed. It's like it didn't come out of the fire at all.
Everyone stepped back in unison.
"I should say that I've always found it strange. When you meet those white monkeys. Apparently not mentally prepared. In other words. This path you thought was free of monsters. Is that right? Zhang Chen asked as he walked forward slowly. Naturally, he asked Boss Lan.
"Then why did you recruit us into this convoy?"
Zhang Chen asked. Boss Lan stretched out his hands in front of him with a little trembling and said, "I don't mean anything else, I don't mean anything else, that's not what I meant......"
"You've actually made an appointment with these two Adepts to meet here. Right? β
"I ...... I, indeed, they said to meet here. But that's none of my business. β
Zhang Chen glared at him and said, "You let us follow the convoy." Didn't know I had a special ability? (To be continued......)
