Chapter 8: Night Terror

Departing at 7 o'clock London time in the morning, it was already around 5 o'clock in the afternoon Beijing time when I came out of the CD capsule transportation station. Da Ai Dao decided to have a simple meal near the traffic station before setting off for Ganzi Seda County. Although it was getting late, for Da Aidao, this day had only been ten hours long, and he didn't want to find a place to rest early.

Da Ai Dao found a slightly quieter place to order a steak in the Sichuan Famous Snack Street next to the capsule traffic station, and put the linen cloth package he carried on the chair next to the seat, while Kane sat opposite Da Ai Dao.

The pastor didn't want to think about it, can the steak be authentic when he goes to a famous snack in Sichuan? In fact, not only is the steak not authentic, but Da Aidao soon finds that even this restaurant is not very authentic.

Before the steak could come up, a young man with a small figure and a sporty dress suddenly grabbed a burlap bag and ran out when he passed by the table of Da Ai Dao. When Da Aidao and they reacted, the young man had already run five or six meters, Kane immediately got up to chase after him, and said.

"Priest, don't move, I'll just go chase it back. ”

"Don't hurt anyone, just chase the package back. Da Aidao was afraid that the robot would not be able to grasp the proportions, and shouted as he looked at the back of Kane speeding away.

There weren't many people on the snack street, and the young man turned left and right, running forward with his life, and it was obvious that he was familiar with the area. But it's a pity that his opponent is Kane, a robot who doesn't get tired of running, and he is a soldier who is engaged in fighting.

Because he ran so fast that he barely lasted five minutes, the young man obviously felt that he could not do it, and in the process of running, he threw the package into the courtyard wall and ran straight away.

Kane quickly climbed over the wall and entered, took the package, checked it, and found that there was nothing missing, and when he climbed over the courtyard wall and returned to the street, the young man had run away without a trace, anyway, he had already taken back what he wanted, so he went back to find Da Aidao.

At this time, Da Aidao was looking out anxiously, and the clerk said that nothing like this had ever happened, and apologized vigorously, but fortunately, it didn't take long for Kane to come back with a burlap bag.

The mood calmed down, and after eating the steak hastily, Da Aidao hurriedly left the steak shop without any nostalgia, ready to take a maglev bicycle and go directly to Ganzi.

It seems that this trip to China is not as friendly as he imagined, but what he did not expect at all is that it is far more than that.

From the CD capsule traffic station to Seda County, Ganzi Prefecture, about 600 kilometers away, according to the speed of the maglev bicycle, it can be reached in one and a half hours, even if it is at half speed, it can be reached in three hours, and it should be able to reach Seda County before nine o'clock in the evening, and at that time, for Da Aidao, in fact, this day, he has only passed 14 hours, and it is all jet lag at night.

Kane, on the other hand, can work 24 hours a day, let alone stop it.

CD is a cosmopolitan city, and of course, the maglev bikes here are not inferior to those of London or New York.

The width of about one meter four and the diameter of about three meters six are one size larger than those commonly used in Da Ai Dao. The all-glass exterior design, only at the bottom control with the drive unit and two round wheels with metal structure, complete panoramic glass appearance, automatic driving, full suspension seats, so that passengers can not feel the shaking of the bicycle during the journey at all. Made in Germany, you can rely on quality. Coupled with China's unique interior design, human-shaped design seats, due to the large diameter, the seats can also be adjusted to horizontal lying mode, two-person seats, Bluetooth speakers, it looks quite comfortable.

At least Kane was still very satisfied, he picked a Samoan orange wheel, a more dazzling looking bicycle, and happily beckoned Da Aidao to sit on it, it seems that Kane's emotional index is slowly growing in the process.

Cut into the automatic driving mode, set the target and the maximum speed of 300 km/h, the bicycle is 1.5 meters above the ground, and leave the CD and drive straight to Ganzi along the public road.

In fact, maglev bicycles can be driven manually, for bicycles, can be driven between zero and three meters above the ground, and do not necessarily have to drive on the road, if you know the terrain, you can drive along the mountain to save a lot of time, you don't have to travel on the neat highway, the construction of the highway is to a large extent for automatic driving.

In late autumn, at 6 p.m., the sky was already dark, and there was not even a little moonlight, and the panoramic glass was useless. It was dark, there was no view to see, and the two were not very familiar with the local road terrain, so there was no need to drive manually.

A big earthquake 150 years ago, coupled with the continuous mountains, made people slowly move away from the mountains, there were almost no lights along the way, especially after entering Wenchuan, especially dark, only the starry sky overhead, the speed of the means of transportation increased, people are not willing to rush long distances in the wilderness at night. The road is built in a winding hill, with many twists and turns, and bicycles can often travel at speeds of only 100 kilometers per hour. But this does not affect Da Aidao and Kane, the seat seems to be quite stable, Da Aidao listens to light music, thinking about the abnormal shaking of the capsule and the snatching of the cloth bag, and always feels that something is wrong. Kane sat dumbfounded, probably still thinking about whether heaven or hell was better.

About an hour or so, when I was about to reach Lixian, the bicycle made a 90-degree sharp turn, and then obviously felt strangled by a filament, and the bicycle rolled and fell to the ground, rolling and sliding for a distance. Fortunately, the speed of the turn was not very fast, and the glass was not damaged, and after a few blows on the ground, the bell stopped on a stack on the edge of the road, where it hung wobly.

Although Da Ai Dao was smashed, Kane didn't have anything to do, he hurriedly turned on his night vision mode, unlocked his safety device, and helped Da Ai Dao break his safety device, opened the door and quickly escaped from the bicycle with Da Aidao.

The control device of the bicycle has been broken, and if it weren't for Kane, it would be difficult for the average person to break the safety device, and it is estimated that they would be trapped inside.

As soon as Kane and the others escaped, the bicycle fell down, and Kane realized that it was a bridge, and it took about three or four seconds before the sound of the bicycle glass shattering and falling into the water, and the bridge was estimated to be more than 50 meters high. If a person falls, it is estimated that his life will not be guaranteed.

Da Aidao didn't fall, he only lost half of his life, so under Kane's shouts and rescue, he soon came back to life.

"Kane, where are we?" said the Great Love Dao, who was next to Kane from the voice and the light of the stars.

Kane immediately checked his location: "In Lixian, three kilometers ahead should be able to reach the city of Lixian." ”

"Then we still have 500 kilometers to go, what about bicycles?"

"The bike fell off the bridge and couldn't be used. ”

"And what about my package?"

Kane looked around the bridge, and there didn't seem to be any danger. "Pastor, shall I go under the bridge and look for it?"

"You see if it's safe under the bridge. "Da Ai Dao was also completely awake at this time.

Kane looked around again, "We fell from one end of the bridge to the other end of the bridge, and the bike landed right on the water's edge. ”

"Then you go down and look for it first, pay attention to safety, and come back quickly if you can't find it." Great Love admonished.

Kane was ordered to go down the edge without going down the approach bridge, which was too long, and he went straight down the pier and soon reached the bottom of the bridge.

The bikes were still there, mostly sunk into the water, but the package could not be found. Maybe it's dark and there is no lighting, and you can't see clearly with night vision alone.

Kane reported the situation to Da Aidao, and Da Aidao had no choice but to let him come up first.

"Pastor, what should we do now? Why don't we go to the city of Lixian and find some people or tools and then have a look?"

Da Aidao thought for a while: "When I entered the territory of China, so many things happened in less than three hours, I don't think it's accidental, there may be a reason, or don't go to the city first." ”

"Then what to do, you can't wait until dawn here, wait for someone to come to the rescue, the temperature is 8 degrees now, and your physical condition shouldn't be able to support it overnight." ”

You can't wait, and going to the city may be just as risky and in a dilemma.

"Why don't you contact the three mages from before to help, I don't think they're bad people. Three hours completely changed the pastor's previous view of the Chinese: "If it were fast, they would be here in about an hour." ”

"Yes, Pastor. "Thankfully, I left the identification codes of the three mages before.

Soon Kane contacted Master Tashi, who couldn't get out of something and ordered the two young mages to deal with it.

If Kane's translation and chasing the thief before, Da Aidao just felt fortunate to have brought him, and now he is grateful to him, and this time Kane saved his life.

An hour later, the two little mages, Danzhu and Dathan, found them smoothly according to the location given by Kane. After Kane explained the situation, they split into two groups, Kane and Danzhu inspect the river valley to check the crashed bicycle and look for the burlap bag that Da Ai Dao was carrying, and Da Ai Dao and Dathan look for the cause of the bicycle accident on the bridge.

With a maglev bike, autonomous driving can easily reach under the bridge, and one person and one flashlight move separately. Soon the valley made a discovery, the strong light of the flashlight easily reflected that there were obvious water stains near the broken bicycle, and the water droplets stretched all the way, about seven or eight meters long, Danzhu speculated that this should be someone took something soaked in water from the bicycle and sprinkled the water. Since it has been more than an hour since the accident, some of the water stains have begun to dry, and it is impossible to track the longer distance. Kane didn't have a flashlight at the time, and night vision mode didn't notice it at all. On the bicycle, Da Ai said that their luggage was only a burlap bag and a small bag of food, and someone patronized the wrecked bicycle as soon as the accident occurred, which was obviously premeditated.

On the bridge, there was also a discovery, on the first cement column on the right side of the bridge deck, a broken very fine steel wire was found, under the reflection of the flashlight, it was easy to find, if it was placed in the daytime, it was estimated that it was difficult to find. The bicycle fell because it felt like it was tripped over something, and Da Aidao guessed that it might be related to this thin steel wire. If you trip over this thin wire, there should be one on the left side of the deck, and the height should be between two and two meters five. However, they did not find the first pillar on the left, and Da Aidao and Dathan began to search one by one on the left, and by this time Kane and Danzhu had already come up from the valley to explain the inspection of the valley, while looking for the pillar on the right. It wasn't until near the end of the column that another section of broken steel wire was discovered.

The four concluded that Kane was also a legal citizen in Western countries, so it was four, and that someone must have done it on purpose. Using thin steel wire, the bicycle can not be detected in the state of automatic driving and stop to dodge, and the bicycle will automatically slow down at the corner, if the bicycle is tripped with a steel wire at this time, the use of oblique interception, according to the speed of the bicycle, the formation of a side thrust, not to be stoned, will also fall into the river valley, and the bicycle will only fall on the edge of the valley, will not fall in the middle of the river and sink to the bottom of the river. If Kane was just an ordinary human, if Kane hadn't turned on the safety device in time, the two of them would have died this time.

It was an elaborate murder, but it cannot be deduced whether the murder was specifically aimed at Daai Dao and Kane, or whether it was simply murdered for money.

In the deep mountains of the west in late autumn, it was very cold, and Da Aidao was even colder, he thought about the successive events that happened in China, and had a premonition that these things were aimed at him, otherwise it would not be so coincidental, the bag was robbed as soon as he left his body, and his bicycle was intercepted so coincidentally at night, and the package was taken away as soon as something happened. Yes, these things are directed at him, and most likely have something to do with his package, and the Great Love Dao is almost convinced of this.

He was also convinced that the two little mages in front of him were reliable.

To understand this, follow the advice of the two young mages, call the police, and wait for the police to deal with it. It wasn't even clear whether the police were reliable, but it seemed like a process that had to be followed.
