Chapter 186: A Coincidental Encounter
After settling down in Seoul, Zhang Longchu said goodbye to the happy real estate agency staff after getting the commission, stopped a taxi on the side of the street and got in.
The driver was a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, looking like he was oppressed by life and had a bitter hatred, looked at Zhang Longchu's young face from the rearview mirror, and asked in a kind of Korean man who has a little older, leaning on the old and selling the old in an old tone: "Where are you going, young man?" ”
"Incheon." Zhang Longchu replied with a smile.
Hearing this, the taxi driver started the car, turned the steering wheel, and asked in a long and redundant voice: "Incheon, are you from Incheon, don't you listen to the accent, you still have a good New Year, where are you going?" ”
"From there, go to sea and take a look at the Taiji plane." Zhang Longchu, who felt that there was nothing to hide, replied casually.
"Go, go to the Tai Chi plane...
You, are you a dimensional explorer? The driver's eyes widened, and he looked back at Zhang Longchu and asked in surprise.
Zhang Longchu looked at him and nodded, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "Hey, uncle, drive carefully, I don't care if the car rolls over, you will be unlucky." ”
"Ah, ah, yes..." The driver came back to his senses and hurriedly sat upright, but he still kept looking at Zhang Longchu from the rearview mirror, and muttered: "Dafa, is he a plane explorer at such a young age, but it's really promising."
I heard that the bounty mission has to start at least 10 million, and 10 million is the salary I can earn in three months!
Hey, if only my son could have such a chance, then I wouldn't have to be so 'desperate'..."
The value of the Korean won is very low, and the exchange rate of the Chinese dollar or the Malaysian ringgit is close to 180:1, listening to the driver's words, Zhang Longchu smiled noncommittally, and did not make a sound, after all, the 'mortal troubles' who are running around, tired, depressed, and complaining in order to survive like this are too far away from him.
But the taxi driver didn't mean to shut up at all, and after feeling sorry for himself for a while, he suddenly fell silent for a while, looked at Zhang Longchu from the rearview mirror and said, "Young man, you didn't lie to me, right?"
Judging by your appearance, you have just entered college at most, how can you be a plane explorer, are you still an extraordinary person? ”
"Mr. Driver, drive well, don't ask questions.
I'm taking a taxi, and I'm not being interrogated, so please shut up, okay? Worn impatient by the driver's silent croaking, Zhang Longchu was not answering his question, and said with a frown.
In South Korea, where the social atmosphere is relatively conservative, it is extremely humiliating to be reprimanded by people much younger than him, so after listening to Zhang Longchu's words, the taxi driver couldn't help but not review his own indiscriminate inquiring about other people's privacy, but his face was flushed with anger, and his lips trembled and shouted: "Oh my God, this, what's wrong in this world, a kid who hasn't grown hair on his mouth yet, even if it's a plane..."
But his shouting was not finished, and was suddenly reflected in the rearview mirror, Zhang Longchu's suddenly revealed, indescribable cold gaze was shocked, and he could no longer speak, if it were not for more than 20 years of driving experience, driving a car almost became an instinct, and the taxi driver almost lost control and crashed into the fence on the side of the road.
Frightened like this, he naturally became honest, galloped all the way to the port of Incheon without saying a word of nonsense, and when Zhang Longchu got out of the car, he turned around and rushed into the traffic without even looking for the guests returning to Seoul.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Longchu stood on the square outside the harbor and smiled dumbly, turned around and bathed in the cold wind, and walked towards the HNA passenger terminal hundreds of meters away.
As the second largest seaport in South Korea, one of the top five regional powers in Asia, Incheon Terminal is also the closest port to the Korean Peninsula in the sea area, Taiji, which is the closest port in terms of cargo throughput and personnel flow and prosperity, even during the New Year.
Walking into the passenger station with the flow of people, looking around, and seeing a row of ticket windows in the west hanging a huge landscape painting similar to the science fiction style, Zhang Longchu quickly leaned over, lined up to the window, handed his temporary ID card and credit card to the young girl who sold the ticket, and said with some apprehension: "Please give me a ticket to the Tai Chi plane." ”
Although South Korea is too small to become a superpower on the earth, its level of civilization and social order have reached a considerable height, and the management of the heterogeneous planes within its territory is naturally different from that of Malaysia, which is still in the warlord woodland, and there are 20 or 30 grass kings of all sizes, and it is very standardized.
Fortunately, just like the South Korean officer Li Huairen who received Zhang Longchu yesterday said, because the special temporary passport he held was stamped with the seal of the Ministry of National Defense, he could freely enter and leave places below the defense level C, including the Taiji plane, so Zhang Longchu did not suffer any trouble, and he got the ticket to pass through the heterotopic plane very smoothly.
And when the young girl who sold the ticket handed him back the documents, credit card and ticket, she smiled and admonished, "Plane exploration is risky, please be careful, I wish you a safe journey." ”
After successfully getting the opportunity to enter the Tai Chi plane, Zhang Longchu's expression suddenly became relaxed, and he closed his eyes and recalled the map left for him by the 'Group Army' Paul, he let out a long sigh of relief, and a long-lost feeling of excitement rose in his heart.
And at this moment, a hesitant female voice suddenly sounded in Zhang Longchu's ears, "That, may I ask, is it your first time to go to the Alternate Plane for an expedition?" ”
Zhang Longchu opened his eyes in astonishment, looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a girl beside him who looked almost the same age as himself, with a medium stature and a touch of blush on her delicate face, looking at herself, opening her mouth, and asking a little inexplicably, "What?" ”
"Ah, that's right," the girl stammered a little shyly, "I see that you are the same age as me, after buying the ticket to the Tai Chi plane, you also closed your eyes to cheer yourself up, I guess, you have just started the plane adventure..."
"Let's get to the point, miss." Zhang Longchu frowned and interrupted the girl's words, and as soon as his words fell, a slightly hoarse male voice came from behind him, "The point is whether you want to join our team and go to the Tai Chi plane to explore together."
Our team is full of newcomers, and the most experienced one is the one who has been to the Alien Plane 3 times, but everyone is young, motivated, and together..."
"Sir, being young and energetic when you go to the Alternate Plane is not a very useful thing," Zhang Long shrugged without looking back, "The only thing you can rely on when you go to that kind of ghost place is strength and brains." Then he smiled and shook his head at the girl next to him, turned around and walked out of the passenger station.
At this time, there was still some time before the boat left, he walked around the docks, found a restaurant with a sign painted chicken stew and walked in, ordered a pot of hen soup boiled with ginseng with white rice, and was frowning and eating in small bites, when he was suddenly surprised to see a familiar figure break into his eyes.
That figure was the elder brother who was once unrelated to Zhang Longchu, Ha Wen. The woman with the body of a model, delicate facial features, and a heroic woman who carried out a password mission in the capital of Malaysia.
At the same time that Zhang Longchu found her, the woman also noticed Zhang Longchu, hesitated, she walked in front of Zhang Longchu, and greeted in English: "Hello, Havin's brother, I didn't expect to meet you here." ”
"Can we say hello directly like this..."Zhang Longchu blurted out in English softly, and then he suddenly lowered his voice and said in Korean instead: "It's too eye-catching to speak English here, let's talk about Korean dramas, you should know."
What I'm trying to say is, the first time we met, but, well, you know, can we say hello right away? ”
"If it's not like you show to be stealthy and sneaky, it's okay to say hello." The woman sat down opposite Zhang Longchu and smiled, then waved loudly to the waiter in Korean and shouted, "Please have a chicken soup set here, thank you." After that, he looked at Zhang Longchu and praised: "Where did you learn Korean, you speak it well." ”
"I downloaded the teaching software on the Internet," Zhang Longchu shrugged and boasted: "I have a smart brain, so I learn quickly." ”
"Yes." The woman smiled and didn't ask why Zhang Longchu appeared in Korea, but asked him, "Are you going to explore the Taiji plane?" ”
"Hmm." Zhang Longchu nodded and replied, and then asked rhetorically, "What about you, are you also planning to go to the Alternate Plane to explore?" ”
"I'm going to the Tai Chi plane, but I'm just going to be a babysitter," the woman sighed, and as she spoke, the waiter brought over a whole porcelain bowl of ginseng chicken soup, various kimchi, and a bowl full of spiky rice.
"Thank you." The woman thanked her, and directly tore off a chicken leg with her hand and ate it in a few bites, before she looked up at Zhang Longchu again and continued: "A relative's child naturally awakened two years ago, and since then he has been clamoring to be a plane explorer, and today he plans to officially 'debut', I just happened to be on annual leave, and I was sent by the elders to escort me." ”
"Yes." Zhang Longchu didn't ask the woman why an agent who was on an overseas mission of the Mi Army, after his relatives woke up, would come to explore the heterotopic plane in South Korea, shrugged and said.
As he spoke, he used his chopsticks to pick out a thick ginseng in the chicken soup, threw it on the table, frowned and drank the soup, pursed his lips, and muttered in a low voice: "What kind of soup is this, it's really tasteless." (To be continued.) )
