Chapter 67: 'Preparation'

After experiencing so many accidents and surprises in just 6 or 7 hours, as well as the sequelae of the anesthetic bullet in his body, Zhang Longchu was actually exhausted, and soon after getting into the car, he began to yawn for days, and finally ended this wonderful day with only two slices of pizza.

In the days that followed, Zhang Longchu cheekily took the initiative to date Fina twice, and began to run to the Affiliated Hospital of Kangde Group whenever he was free, under the pretext of accompanying the pretty female nurse, looking for an opportunity to absorb the souls of the sick and dead transcendent.

It's a pity that his luck is really bad, for two weeks in a row, until he completed the entrance exam, he only got one more chance to help transport the corpses, but the harvest was good, and he harvested the souls equivalent to 7 ordinary people.

Time passed slowly, and soon on the last afternoon of the summer semester, the school bell rang 'bell...", and after getting the lowest "A-" grade in all subjects, Zhang Longchu happily put away the textbook, threw it into his strange backpack along with the transcript, and walked out of the classroom cross-legged.

Because the friends around him are all influential figures in the school, although he is low-key, he naturally has a bit of momentum, and there is no shortage of classmates who take the initiative to talk to him.

When passing by an obese teenager who is actually unfamiliar, with a middle parted hair, and wears uncommon but full of design LV shorts and undershirts as supermarket products, he was asked in a very enthusiastic tone: "Hey, Long Chu must have a good look at your expression, where are you going to go to celebrate happily in the summer vacation?" ”

"Didn't Barbara raise a lot of money online to subsidize our high school students to go to the Conqueror Theme Park in the Silent Hill Plane?

With such a good option, do you think I'll make other choices? Zhang Longchu, whose usual personality changed from being brave and ruthless when he was in Antun Public Middle School, to being approachable in 'Corriton', smiled and asked casually.

In order to defeat her old rival Celia in the student council, Barbara unexpectedly listed the etopic plane as a college trip option, and begged the former Corryton private high school graduates to donate money online, which was an unprecedented success.

The total amount of funds raised has exceeded 5 million yuan, which is almost equivalent to the total annual profit of a well-functioning large and medium-sized enterprise.

The reason for such an exaggerated amount of donations is that 'Corryton' itself is an aristocratic school, with an exceptionally good student population, many alumni who have achieved extraordinary achievements, and strong economic strength;

For the first time in the history of Los Angeles and even the whole of California, in order to make her alma mater get this title of 'first', beating the other two famous private high schools in Los Angeles, and the enthusiasm of previous graduates for donations, Barbara's creativity and organizational skills are also very high.

Immediately became the most popular figure in the entire 'Corryton' in recent times.

The only pity is that the frontier of the 'Blue Whale Plane', the destination she originally announced on the Internet, had a series of accidents a few weeks ago, including the terrible incident of the entire Gray Bat Bus all the passengers missing, and had to be forced to abandon it for the sake of safety and change the travel location to the 'Silent Hill Plane'.

After listening to Zhang Longchu's answer, the fat man showed a surprised expression and raised his hand and said, "Did you also choose to go to the 'Silent Hill Plane', I am too, it seems that we are all very bold, man." ”

"Yes, you are a man to make such a choice, Shamali, and we will see you when we leave." Zhang Longchu clapped his hands with the fat man, satisfied his vanity that his good friend who was a good friend of the school's influential figures, and walked out of the classroom.

Leaving the school building, he walked halfway through the campus, found his small motorcycle, and rode it for nearly an hour, driving out of Los Angeles and onto the interstate.

On a sweltering afternoon, the wide, straight road is empty.

Sweating profusely, Zhang Longchu licked his lips with his helmet and muttered to himself, "I should have learned to drive as soon as I turned 16...", continued to ride for another ten minutes, and finally parked the car next to a gas station with a Mustang sign on the side of the road.

It's a small, self-service gas station dotted all over federal highways.

A dirty, old, dusty looking hard plastic shed with two pre-loved gas fillers underneath it, and a grocery store with a locked door next to the shed, that's it.

A gust of wind blew through the dust, causing the wind chimes on the signboard to rattle.

Zhang Longchu dragged the motorcycle and locked it next to the grocery store, strolled to the door, entered a few numbers on the electronic lock, and walked into the grocery store after a 'beep'.

The space in the shop is very small, only a small table that can accommodate four people to sit and eat hot dogs, hamburgers, and drink coke and juice;

An old pachinko machine against the wall, a freezer and a row behind the counter are containers of junk food such as potato chips, chocolate bars, bags of peanuts and beans.

Zhang Longchu, who was out of breath, walked quickly to the freezer that made a slight 'buzz...' sound, apparently still in front of the refrigerated freezer, opened and took out a large can of cold Coke, and poured it directly into his mouth.

After a long sigh of relief, he walked around to the counter, opened a small door in the corner that was not easy to detect, and entered a small dimly lit room.

In the middle was a wooden bed with freshly changed sheets, and next to the door there was a bathroom that was barely enough for one person to shower and convenient, and it was obvious that this room should be the bedroom where the owner of the gas station slept at night.

As soon as Zhang Longchu entered the door, he locked the secret lock, turned off his mobile phone, stripped naked, and went directly under the bed, laboriously pushed open a baffle with a diameter of more than two meters, which was transformed from the top of the old dining table, and crawled obliquely into a crypt with dazzling light.

In the cave, he turned his mind, and after turning into a giant wolf, he stood like a statue, allowing the hot light emitted by the volatilization of high-energy fuel to penetrate his body through the pores of his body.

It turned out that after getting to know Fina and thinking that he had obtained a stable source of soul, Zhang Longchu began to worry about another key factor in the growth of the strange 'world', the long-term radiation of high-energy fuel.

After thinking about it, he realized that the best thing to do was to open a gas station himself.

At this time, Zhang Longchu's bank account contained a bounty of 120,000 meters earned by performing tasks on a heterotopic plane, and 1.15 million yuan of funds from the 'Federal Special Population Control Commission' with compensation and rewards.

So choose and go on the Internet, this place seems to have a good geographical location, but in fact, because it is too close to Los Angeles, there are not many customers will come to patronize, and the business is extremely depressed 'Mustang' gas station, so it became Zhang Longchu's preferred target, and successfully bought it at a price of 350,000 meters.

After completing the transaction, Zhang Longchu turned into a giant wolf, secretly dug a tunnel in the bedroom that led directly to the underground oil storage tank, and then tried his best to corrode the shell of the oil storage tank with strong acid to create a large hole, release high-energy fuel, and fill a small half of the crypt, then get a place where he can quietly absorb heat energy.

For a week, he took nearly two hours out of his busy life every day to receive radiation, plus the time spent back and forth on the road, Zhang Long was exhausted at the beginning, but he still felt that he had to replenish at least five-sixths of the heat energy to be enough for the world of strange things to grow again.

In the past, because he was in the special time when he was about to upgrade to the exam, he had no reason not to go home at night.

Today is finally the end of the summer vacation, Zhang Longchu greeted his adoptive parents early, hoping to party with his friends for a day, because he has reached the age of 16 and received permission, so he actually stayed in a hole in the suburbs of Los Angeles for 24 hours before crawling out exhausted.

Regardless of the tiredness of yawning and taking a shower, Zhang Longchu got dressed, turned on his mobile phone and looked at the caller ID, looked at the message, walked out of the bedroom, took two chocolate bars on the container, tore open the package and stuffed it into his mouth, walked out of the door of the grocery store while eating, rode his miniature motorcycle, and rushed all the way back to Los Angeles.

Coming to the door of the Affiliated Hospital of Kangde Group, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Fina's number, "Good afternoon, beautiful chocolate girl, my mobile phone was accidentally broken yesterday, and I only changed it today, I didn't receive your call, is there anything wrong?" ”

"It's nothing important, today is my birthday, I'm afraid you forgot, so I made a special call yesterday to remind you." Fina's sweet voice came over the phone.

"Yes, oh, oops, I really forgot, well, I'm in New York now, last night's plane, you know, summer vacation, of course take it easy..."Zhang Longchu deliberately pretended to be surprised, and was interrupted angrily by Fina before he finished speaking, "You're in New York, hell, it's not a joke, I'm looking forward to that..."

Speaking of this, her voice choked, and then an angry female voice came from behind Zhang Longchu, "Isn't it fun to do such a little trick, Mr. Zhang, don't you think it's too naïve?" ”

"It's really naïve to pretend to forget your birthday," Turning to look at Fina, who was cold-faced, Zhang Longchu, who had already been prepared, shrugged, flipped through the birthday gift from his pocket, and handed it over, "But what if the ultimate goal is to give you such a surprise." ”

After receiving this TiffanyBlueBox, which can almost be regarded as a symbol of the unique style of the United States' refined fashion, Fina's expression has turned from sunny to cloudy.

And when she opened the box and saw the studded rose earrings carved out of rubies and set with two sparkling, heart-shaped diamonds in the middle, she finally couldn't put on an angry expression anymore, and a charming smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
