Chapter 68: The Convoy

I thought that after stopping ingesting the items in the movie, there would be no accidents on the USB flash drive, but I didn't expect that after two weeks, the USB flash drive had another accident.

Or rather, what is the connection with the power outage?

No, the U disk is only used as a storage tool, and the impact of the power outage on it is basically none, but why did the U disk change again not long after the power outage?

Regularity, regularity...... It seems that it is too difficult to find the pattern of this thing.

If it's really related to a power outage, what if there is an accident next time there is a flood, or other small things that seem to be fine? That said, it's a veritable time bomb, no, a random bomb that can't see the time.

It can be said that there is an accident once, and if there are accidents one after another, and then treat it as an accident, it will be an absolute fool, there must be a law in this that he has not yet studied.

In the middle of the night, Lu Yuan was with Sonny, conducting a large-scale search of the surrounding area, trying to find out the whereabouts of the alien. However, it took a night, and when the sky was clear, there was still no trace of the alien.

The effect of NZT lasted for twelve hours, and after half of dawn, Lu Yuan's energy began to decay, his head began to dizzy, and he parked the car on the side of the road with a few breaths, let Sonny hide it in the car, and got out of the car and lit a cigarette on the side of the road.

He didn't continue**, first, the side effects of NZT were very large, after taking the medicine for 24 hours in a row, the pressure on the body was very strong, and he was afraid that after the effect of the medicine faded, he would not be able to bear it. Second, unless forced to do so, the aliens will not operate in such a bright environment during the day, especially on the edge of the fields on this national highway, where at least ten kilometers can be seen as far as the plains can see.

"Where the hell did that beast go?"

Summer mornings are cooler times of the day, especially in the fields where there are not many people, and even the smell of grass can be used to breathe.

He stood on the side of the road and shook his head with the breeze, and a car drove on the road in the distance, no, it was a convoy of five cars, basically all SUVs.

Lu Yuan didn't pay much attention, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it, and was about to pull the car door to get into the car, when the convoy slowly stopped next to it.

"Hey, I'm tired, I can finally breathe."

The door opened, and several yawning girls got out of the car and took a collective deep breath.

"Hey, let's rest for a while, and if you want to untie your hands, untie your hands first......"

The leader of the convoy got out of the car, a fat man, wearing a Hawaiian-style shirt, not realizing how funny his dress was, and walked towards Lu Yuan with a big grin.

Lu Yuan glanced around casually and found that there were about seventeen or eighteen people in this convoy, the women and men were divided in half, most of them were couples, and a group of people got out of the car and breathed the air in the fields, smiling excitedly haha.

"Brother, what do you call it?"

The fat man took out a pack of diamond hibiscus kings and handed it over, Lu Yuan waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to.

"No smoking, brother?"

Glancing at the cigarette butt on the ground, the fat man saw Lu Yuan's cold expression, and he didn't care, and continued to pull into the relationship: "Brother, do you live nearby?" I want to ask the next road, is the Qishan Reservoir going forward? ”

"Qishan Reservoir?"

Lu Yuan had a map of the nearby terrain in his mind, the Qishan Reservoir was about forty kilometers away from here, and it was close to the vicinity of the small mountains, where even the villages had already been relocated except for a reservoir, what did this group of people want to run there for?

He is not a gossip and will not ask even if he has doubts in his heart.

Maintaining the coldness on his face, Lu Yuan nodded slightly: "Yes, continue to walk along this road for twenty kilometers, and you will probably see a fork in the road, where there are signs, it is easy to find the way." ”

"That's right, thank you, brother."

Probably knowing that Lu Yuan was reluctant to communicate in depth, after the fat man who led the team thanked Lu Yuan, he turned around and returned to the same place, eating the canned eight-treasure porridge handed over by others, several people talked softly, and from time to time they turned back and looked at Lu Yuan a few times.

Even without NZT, Lu Yuan could tell that these people were probably travelers just by the clothes they were wearing and the things piled up in the car door when he occasionally opened them...... Don't get me wrong, it's the kind of outsiders who don't have much experience, and most of them are new recruits and curious, and give money to take them out to try their hand at living in the wild.

However, the fat man was quite smart, and he did not rashly take these people deep into the primeval forest of some no-man's land, but chose the dense forest of Qishan Reservoir, which was less populated but did not have much danger. If you ignore the small mountains less than a kilometer above sea level and cross it straight, it is only five kilometers away from the nearest highway, so there is really no danger.

Those who can have the time and energy to play this kind of tourism will definitely earn a lot of money, which can be seen from the clothes of most of these people. Retracting his gaze, Lu Yuan pulled the car door and sat in the driver's seat, and when he looked back, he saw Sonny squatting in the back parking space, and winked at him, and couldn't help but be a little speechless.

This guy ...... Although there are human emotions, it is a pity that it is a little different after all. It's happened like this, and now you can still blink naughtily. Well, this guy is a robot, and he doesn't care about the alien itself, and if he doesn't take the initiative to attack, it is estimated that the alien will not be much interested in it.

"Hmmm......"

Holding the steering wheel, Lu Yuan glanced at the reversing mirror casually, and just raised his head to look at the car behind the convoy over there, he suddenly let out a shock.

"That's ......"

"What's the matter, sir?"

Seeing that Lu Yuan didn't start the car, Sonny asked suspiciously.

"There's something wrong with that car, I'll go down and take a look."

Pulling the car door again, Lu Yuan walked towards the car. His unusual behavior naturally couldn't be ignored by the few men and women around him, and he looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what Lu Yuan wanted to do.

On the rear bumper of the last car, there are a few obvious claw marks, looking at the freshness of the paint, it is obvious that it was not long ago, otherwise the dust on the ground would have already covered half of the scratches.

"Hey, what are you looking at?"

Such a stranger approached the bumper of his car, attracting the attention of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, who came over and asked with a dissatisfied expression.

The girl wore an ordinary ponytail, a white T-shirt and light-colored jeans, and the overall fit looked very refreshing.

It's just that the words spoken by the refreshing girl were not so polite, and she stared at Lu Yuan suspiciously, thinking that he was doing something bad.

"Where did these traces come from?"

Lu Yuan ignored the girl's question, stood up and looked at the fat man who came over, and asked by pointing to the scratches on the rear bumper.

"Traces?"

The fat man was stunned, he didn't expect Lu Yuan to ask such a question, he looked down at the scratches on the bumper, and before he could speak, the girl next to him said impatiently: "Hey, I said you are very suspicious, we don't know you, what are you asking here!" ”

"Xiaocai, don't talk like that."

The fat man greeted him, turned his head and smiled awkwardly: "The child is not sensible, don't mind, brother." ”

"Dead fatty, who do you say is a child?"

These words immediately made the girl blow up, glared at the fat man, and there was a tendency to do it without saying a word.

"Oh, my aunt, just spare me, you see you haven't eaten breakfast yet, right, you have to take it and eat it."

Stuffing the unopened eight-treasure porridge in his hand into the girl's arms, the fat man gave a look to his companion on the side, and coaxed the grumpy girl away.

Lu Yuan, who was already having a headache, was told a few times by this girl, and his head hurt even more, and he forcibly endured the side effects of NZT, and reluctantly explained: "I just see that your marks are wrong, so I ask." ”

"Oh, this trace, Lao Cai, it seems that I bumped into something before, right?"

The fat man asked the man who was drinking milk, he was in his thirties, he wore a pair of glasses on his face, and he was much more mature than most of the men and women present. Hearing the fat man ask, he nodded: "Well, I thought the rear tire hit something, but I got out of the car and looked at it and didn't find anything, but there were a few more scratches." ”

"When?" Lu Yuan immediately asked.

"It's five o'clock. I drove at the rear, and when I saw that nothing happened, I hurried after him. ”
