Chapter 017: Destination: Holy City!
The unprecedented good fortune made Yaji excited all night, and as a well-known unlucky ghost, he should indeed have celebrated, singing and dancing, and refused to stop after two rounds of supper until four o'clock in the morning, when he fell asleep under the anesthesia of alcohol.
Wu Ming was also very excited, after all, this was an unexpected huge amount of money, and its arrival meant that there would be no worries for a long time. Wu Ming knew very well that for the world he was in, having money was equivalent to owning everything.
Earning money is also a very important part of the plan before the crossing, because if you want to carry out social activities, it will inevitably involve the expenditure of money, accommodation, food, and the purchase of means of subsistence...... If you don't have money in your pocket, you won't be able to settle down, and you will face the embarrassment of not being able to move an inch.
When it comes to making money, Wu Ming is not lacking, the advantages of knowledge and physical strength far exceed ordinary people, find a serious job, while supporting himself, while steadily moving towards the plan, it is not a problem at all, and the most unfortunate can also rely on the peculiarity of consciousness to play some tricks of deception, and he can always cope with it so-so.
However, the accident during the crossing disrupted the overall layout, not to mention pretending to live like a normal person, Wu Ming didn't even have time to settle down, and he was already involved in the troubled times. Escape from the zombies, travel with the Scourge Star, and be kidnapped by the Corpse Hunter Club in disguise...... One accident after another seems to indicate that the situation has completely lost control.
But under the seemingly passive chaos, new opportunities are also emerging, just waiting for Wu Ming to skillfully maneuver and grasp it improvised, especially at the moment, a large amount of money is smashed on his head like pie in the sky, and Wu Ming can't help but be optimistic.
He made a small calculation, like an upstart, and counted with his fingers and pen - Yaggie should add some decent weapons, preferably a portable electromagnetic gun, plus exoskeleton armor equipment, then he would be like an invincible warrior; I don't know where the Electric Falcon is sold, so it's best to find a chance to buy one for him......
It seems that there is also a university question about financial management, because Wu Ming soon found that he had no concept of this aspect at all, and he did not even know the price of the most basic commodities. The only thing he has in his hands now is that it costs 3,000 yuan to repair Yaji's broken car, which is still clearly knocked out. The job of financial planner must be handed over to Yaji, although this guy's financial management ability is also quite questionable, and his financial situation was even on the verge of bankruptcy for a time, but in addition to Yaji, Wu Ming really can't find a second reliable partner.
The day passed like this, lying on the soft big bed, Wu Ming slept relaxedly, because at least for now, he didn't have to worry about whether he woke up into a plate of food and was served to the table.
In the original arrangement, this day was also free and easy, Wu Ming could walk around the streets, buy some daily necessities at will, or visit the local customs. Of course, the so-called freedom of movement is not completely free, and three or five nominal bodyguards will accompany you like a protector of the president.
But this activity had to be canceled, because Wu Ming had slept for nearly 24 hours, and by the time he opened his eyes, he was already on his way.
Yaji had already completed the exchange of the gambling money, deducting the 50 million credit gambling funds returned, and the total income reached 137 million, not counting the tips he pretended to throw out a large amount. According to Wu Ming's request, the huge amount of money was all deposited into Yaji's bank account, and Wu Ming could also spend through fingerprint or iris recognition. It's just that the stingy Yaji seems to have set a limit, and in his words, nerds are easy to fall into the trap of consumption, and if they are not careful, they will end up bankrupt. The role of financial planner, he entered really quickly.
Although there has just been a murder in the dock casino, there must be a lot of affairs to be dealt with, but the minister of the mastiff, who is the director of the casino, has not changed his itinerary and is still waiting on the work platform early in the morning. Wu Ming walked out of the gate and found that the electric falcon had been stored in the warehouse, but waiting on the shore were three vans and twenty-eight off-road jeeps.
Those trucks were obviously used to transport ** zombies, and based on the size and load capacity, the number of living corpses that needed to be transported should be more than 5,000. The financial strength of the Corpse Hunter Club is really extraordinary, so many ** zombies, just buying them back from the corpse hunters, is an expense of hundreds of millions, not counting the expenditure of liquid nitrogen sealed cans.
More than 100 accompanying security personnel were already in place, each fully armed, and Wu Ming was thinking about the portable electromagnetic rifle to be equipped for Yaji, almost everyone had one, plus a video communicator, a survival hunting knife, a highly concentrated nutritional supplement, and laser-guided rockets equipped with each vehicle, such a team was fully capable of conquering a small country.
Such a big battle was a bit unexpected by Wu Ming, because he thought that he would take the electric falcon to leave, which was convenient and fast, even if the number of zombies was huge and a small flying machine like the electric falcon could not be loaded, they could also get two drones, and the cost would be much more economical.
"It seems that as you say, we must be running for Ezreel. Air traffic control is implemented over there, and being able to apply for a flight permit is enough to prove the power of the Corpse Hunting Club. Yaji saw Wu Ming's doubts, lowered his voice and took the initiative to explain, "For the rest of the road, they can only drive, which means that you don't have to worry all the time." ”
In fact, it should be Yaji himself who is worried about his fear, judging from his performance when he came, this guy seems to have a natural fear of flying.
But Wu Ming didn't debunk Yaji's thoughts, because he was attracted by the logo pattern on the side of the box.
It is an abstract symbol, with gold veins on a white background, the lower half resembling a boxy wooden box, and the upper half resembling two pairs of angel wings enclosing each other. This is clearly a sign of passage for the organization behind the Corpse Hunter Club, ensuring that there is no trouble of not letting you go when you encounter a level.
Wu Ming's heart is even more confident, because the appearance of this pattern has further verified the correctness of the previous inference - the real backstage of the Corpse Hunting Club is them!
"Please get in the car, my guest."
The mastiff came over in person and raised his hand to Wu Ming, not so much to invite as to escort.
Wu Ming didn't care, and walked to the off-road vehicle without hesitation, and Yaji was about to follow, but was led to the other end of the convoy by the security personnel, even if the turkey head had become a billionaire overnight, the VIP courtesy was still missing him.
"Take care of yourself, man, and we'll see you when we get there."
Yaji shouted at Wu Ming, and squeezed his eyes, which probably meant to remind Wu Ming that he must be honest, don't have any conflicts with the fierce mastiff, that guy is ruthless and can do anything.
Wu Ming knew this in his own heart. Although the contact with the fierce mastiff was short, from the cat-like behavior of those corpse hunters, Wu Ming had already guessed that this guy was anything but ordinary.
The figure of the fierce mastiff cannot be called burly, and his height is not more than two inches taller than Wu Ming, but his shoulders are unusually broad, and his palms are covered with hard calluses.
What's more important is his impassivity, as if even if there is a nuclear explosion in front of him, he will not blink his eyes, and that calmness is the innate natural nature of top masters.
But at the moment, the fierce mastiff should not pose a threat, after all, in terms of Wu Ming's current identity, he is still the guest of honor in this organization, and at the same time, Wu Ming also believes that there is no too fierce conflict between himself and the fierce mastiff, as long as you are more careful and don't leak the bottom, no matter how ruthless this guy is, he will not fight each other before everything is clear.
Just as the light was about to light, the convoy set off.
After crossing the Canal Bridge and exiting the port of Sète, the road to southern Badawil went east, stopping at the important town of Alesh, where Europe and Asia meet, and then unexpectedly turned south, slowly traveling for about an hour between palm and date palms, and then turning back to the eastward road as it was about to coincide with the ancient road of the pilgrimage to Mazi'a.
During the trip, not only did the mastiff himself barely say a word, but the other entourages also said very little. They all had serious expressions, as if they were facing a great enemy. Despite the signs on the trucks allowing the convoy to move unimpeded, neither the former Egyptian local government nor the Earth Alliance military stopped the convoy, but the convoy still made several circles in the roundabout, and even made no less than three truck cover swaps at forks in the road, showing complete caution.
The way the team did this can only say one thing - there is an opponent who is struggling with them!
That opponent should know their plan of action well, and their strength should not be at a disadvantage, otherwise with such a well-equipped team, there would be no need to hide like this.
But what is the strength of that opponent, and whether he really intends to carjack, Wu Ming doesn't care. He only cares about the direction of travel, because it is related to whether the next step of the plan can be implemented smoothly.
When the ancient Negev Desert finally appeared at the end of his vision, Wu Ming was completely relieved, because he could finally be sure that his guess was 100% correct - the destination was the legendary holy city of Relusaliang!
The calculation should be about the same time, maybe in a few months, not more than a year, in the city where the legendary Son of God was resurrected, a demonic figure who has been "dead" will reappear. And his appearance is destined to be a bombshell that shocks the world, in addition to bombing the mysterious history from the grave, the most important thing is that he will also plunge the world into great panic.
And this person is exactly what Wu Ming is striving for!
