After a week, Huai Shi finally broke away from the core of the desert, and arrived at the edge of the desert to the south after experiencing radiation dust, quicksand, and a desert that had been completely cut off from all water sources and all plant supplies.

In addition to the growing number of abandoned houses and mines along the way, proof of his imminent return to civilization was the sound of engines sounding outside makeshift tents at noon.

So high-pitched and familiar.

Ling Huaishi opened her eyes from her sleep, got up with sleepy eyes, and lifted the curtain of the door that she had rubbed out of tin foil.

In fact, except for the stall under the body, the entire frame of the temporary tent was rubbed out by Huai Shi with his captive hands and the metal reserves in the saddle bag.

In addition to the canvas on the surface of the tent, Huaishi also plated a layer of tin in order to block the wind, which looks strange and conspicuous under the sun.

It's like a piece of mercury rolling on the sand.

Silvery.

And after Huai Shi rubbed his eyes and saw clearly, he saw several large off-road vehicles galloping from the far end, as well as ...... The flotilla in hot pursuit behind them.

That's right, it's the fleet.

Huai Shi took out the binoculars from her bag and looked intently, and saw the ships that were heading rapidly on the sandy sea with the power of the wind, each of which was about the size of a bus.

They were hung with black sails, and underneath the hull seemed to be an air cushion-like device.

And on the bow of the ship, it is assumed that there are machine guns and other weapons, and there are about four or five people on each ship, and they all look in tattered clothes, and they do not look like good people.

Now, sixteen black sails are in hot pursuit of three off-road vehicles fleeing into the desert, and the constant exchange of fire on both sides makes people feel the sound of friendly explosions one after another.

There is no doubt that there is a fight and fighting between the two sides.

But Huai Shi didn't have the heart to mix it in at all.

It is still more than 800 kilometers away from Canberra, and it can be said that it is quite close to the destination of Huaishi, so he is too lazy to make extraneous branches.

Even when she felt jealousy and murderous intent from those off-road vehicles, Huai Shi didn't make any counterattack, just stared through the telescope and quietly stared at the sublimator in the car.

For a brief moment, the eyes of both sides converged.

They looked at each other across the sea of sand.

Immediately after, the corners of the thin old man's eyes jumped slightly, and he withdrew his gaze.

The SUV picked up speed and sped away, quickly disappearing into the sea of sand.

The black sailing fleet was in hot pursuit, but at the back of the fleet, a small boat suddenly turned around, and with the help of the wind, it quickly galloped in the direction of Huaishi.

"I feel like something is going to happen. ”

The crow on his shoulder sighed, "You seem to be the kind of unlucky ghost who will definitely be stirred into any trouble." ”

"Who is responsible for this!"

Huai Shi couldn't help but roll her eyes, and raised her eyes to look at the black-sailed iron ship that was rapidly approaching.

I don't know if it's a hovercraft or a sailboat, but the most conspicuous thing is probably the black sails they hang on, right?

Just above the huge sails, a strange sign is outlined in white paint.

It seems to be an avatar.

If you look closely, you can tell that it is a middle-aged male face with unkempt hair and a crown of thorns. The painter is obviously quite level, using only simple black and white and a few brushstrokes to outline the essence of that face.

Looking at that face, it feels like facing an endless sea of sand, which makes people feel a sense of smallness and powerlessness.

By virtue of his own portrait alone, he exerts a coercion on the viewer above the soul.

If it were an ordinary person, he must be intimidated by fear at this moment, and he couldn't move, right?

"Do you know where you came from?" asked Huai Shi.

"Australia's largest sublimation organization, the Sons of the Desert, an armed group founded by Australia's crowned 'Sand King'. ”

Raven simply: "The largest warlord in Australia today, the de facto ruler of six cities and seventeen large settlements. All Australian sublimators are proud to be of service to him.

In short, if they try to you, you're in trouble—"

At the time of the crow's introduction, the black sail had already galloped away, and a beautiful drifting tail flick stopped in front of Huai Shi.

The dust and sand seemed to rise and sprinkle on Huaishi's body, like rain.

A cigarette butt was thrown from above, and at the bow of the boat, the young man with sunglasses stepped on the edge of the boat, looking at it condescendingly.

He was shirtless, not afraid of the scorching sun at all, and only wore a quick-response vest with a magazine on his upper body, and he could see the dense tattoos on his chest and neck.

It's a sublimator.

And behind him, there were several fierce men with weapons in their hands, and they were looking at Huai Shi under the boat with him, and their eyes were not inferior.

Huai Shi also looked up at them, maintaining a calm smile.

Even against the dazzling light of the sun, he didn't blink a single eye.

"Your car is really good. He bowed his head in appreciation.

Instead of cowering as expected, the man in the sunglasses raised his eyebrows in surprise, raised his hand, and took off the sunglasses on his face, as if he was interrogating.

"Where did it come from?"

"Dongxia. Huai Shi replied in Latin: "I am not your enemy, and I have not hindered your movement in the slightest, I hope you will not be too nervous." ”

Nervous?

Several of the people on the boat looked at each other as if they had heard a ridiculous joke, and suddenly laughed mockingly.

At this time, should they be nervous or the unknown person in front of them?

The tattoo sublimator who was originally wearing sunglasses opened his mouth and spat the gum at Huai Shi's feet, and his smile gradually became cold: "To be honest, I asked you where you came from, why did you appear here, and what is your purpose?"

"I kind of get it. ”

Huai Shi thought for a moment and replied: "I set out from Darwin and plan to go to Canberra, as for the purpose, does the trip count?"

“......”

The sublimator in the sunglasses was stunned for a moment, and then became more and more indifferent: "Are you kidding me, little ghost? You want to tell me that you came here by yourself through the desert?"

"Travel, isn't that what it is?" Huai Shi shrugged: "I have suffered a little, but I still have a sense of accomplishment." ”

Snap a snap.

The sound of a gun being loaded rang out.

On the boat, several people had already raised their weapons and aimed them at the teenager in front of them.

"The next time you're lying, it's better to pick a good excuse, little ghost. The Sublimator said indifferently, "A week ago, the radiation storm had just washed the entire inner desert of Australia...... Except for the fifth-order sublimators, no one was able to come out of it alive. ”

"Well, you don't actually need that high grade. ”

Huai Shi shook his head and sighed: "Besides, there is more than one person who can sneak out of it as far as I know—I said, can you put down the muzzle of the gun first? I'm quite nervous about this conversation."

Calm down, I'm going to get something out of my pocket, don't shoot, okay?"

As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand and put it in the saddle bag, but the tattooed sublimator instantly pulled out his pistol and pressed it against Huaishi's head.

"Don't move!"

"Okay......"

Huai Shi sighed, "I don't move, you can help me get the head office, right?" My ID is in my bag, and you always have to give me a chance to prove my innocence, right?"

Trust me, I don't want to get in trouble, and I don't think you should either. ”

“......”

The Sunglasses Sublimator was silent for a moment, then took a step back, put away his gun, and waved his hand behind him.

Soon, someone jumped out of the boat and searched Huai Shi's whole body, and after finding no weapons, he reached out and touched Huai Shi's bag.

Soon, a mutilated and heavy long sword was drawn......

As if stung by a scorpion, the searcher screamed and let go of his hand, and the sword fell to the ground, and a burning mark appeared in his palm.

In an instant, the long spear and short cannon were aimed at Huai Shi's face, and the killing intent was fierce.

"You're taking the wrong one. Huai Shi sighed and reluctantly explained: "Equipment binding, you know, right? This sword is only available to me...... Can you please take it again?"

The body searcher was furious and put the gun to Huaishi's head.

Immediately after, he saw Huai Shi raise his eyes, look at his face, and tell him, "Take it again, hurry up." ”

There was not the slightest wavering or panic in that calm expression, but as if he had given some disobedient order, urging him not to waste time.

Do as I say.

This is for your own good.

The person who searched the body swallowed and spat, looked at his captain, saw the captain's expression change, and quickly, glanced at him. Finally plucking up his courage, he swallowed and foamed at the mouth and stretched out his hand again.

This time, under the guidance of Huai Shi, he finally succeeded.

He took out the outermost document of his satchel.

Then, I saw the black cover, and the logo from the Astronomical Society shone brightly.

The searcher's hand trembled, as if he had been stung by a scorpion and dropped his document on the ground.

The atmosphere became cold again, and someone raised the muzzle of the gun, but the person who searched the body exclaimed: "Don't shoot! Don't shoot! I'm fine!"

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

Soon, when they saw the signs on the documents clearly, they were obviously under the tyrannical sun, and a chill ran down everyone's spine.

Shudder.

Especially after taking a certificate that had fallen on the ground, and finally slowly unfolding it, showing them the identity of the registered military attache and the inspector of the Astronomical Society.

Everyone froze, realizing what they had just done.

A cold sweat quickly broke out on his back.

No one is brain-dead enough to think that this place is so desolate and inhabited that no one knows about it as long as everyone keeps it secret......

If, within the scope of the P5, the Astronomical Society would voluntarily restrain its own behavior, then outside the scope of the P5, the Astronomical Society would be a behemoth that would make any person and organization fearful.

Even if it was just a worthless member of the Second Order Sublimator, if it really died at their hands, then the entire Son of Desolation would inevitably have to pay a terrible price for the Celestial Society's Thunder Fury.

Besides, it is not certain who will die......

The tattoo sublimator swallowed and foamed, looked down at Huai Shi's certificate, and then looked at the young man's face.

Unbelievable.

"It can't be fake, right?" someone behind him wondered.

Instantly, without waiting for Huai Shi to answer, the sublimator turned around and raised his hand to slap the face, almost knocking the fool's head off his neck.

"What are you doing in a daze!" he yelled at his subordinates: "Put down your gun!"

All the spears and cannons were put away as if by magic. It's just amazing at their miraculous hand speed.

And the tattoo sublimator had already bent down, picked up the long sword from the ground, and despite the constant sneering of his own hands, he bent down respectfully and offered it with both hands.

"I apologize for the offense, sir. ”

Without any scruples, he knelt on the ground: "I beg your pardon for our offense." ”

In the silence that made everyone sweat, Huai Shi looked down at his panicked look.

After a long time, I suddenly laughed.

"As I just said—" He reached out, took the Sword of Virtue, and withdrew it into his saddle bag, and suddenly said, "Your car is good, isn't it?"

This time, there was no need for the leader to give an order at all, everyone jumped out of the car without saying a word, and the driver gave the key for fear that he would not accept it.

Didn't even take the water and food down.

Huai Shi scratched her head and looked at the strange vehicle she hadn't seen in front of her, "Give it to me, I won't drive it." ”

"Then I'll do it. The tattoo sublimator lowered his head: "Where are you going?"

"Canberra. Huai Shi replied, "How long will it take?"

"Four...... No, three hours is enough!"

"So what are you waiting for?"

Huai Shi turned around and neatly put away the tent, stuffed it back into her bag, walked to the boat, and found a comfortable chair to sit down: "Hurry up." ”

Soon, ignoring the confused questions of his companions on the radio, the tattoo sublimator himself piloted the black sail steamboat to turn around and gallop out in the direction it came.

At a speed of hundreds of kilometers, it took only two and a half hours.

Three hours later, she was sitting in the most luxurious hotel in Canberra, enjoying the presidential suite exclusively.

Five minutes later, the hotel's internal phone rang.

The waiter respectfully asked him: Mr. Sand King, the councillor of Canberra City Hall and the leader of the sons of the desolation, has specially chartered the revolving restaurant on the top floor today, is it a pleasure to have dinner with you?

Huai Shi scratched her head.

I feel that my original plan of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger has entered a fork in the road......

What seems wrong with this plot?
