At this time, the car stopped.

A couple on the side of the road to get on the bus, this kind of bus is to stop immediately.

The conductor next to Chen Cao got up again to sell tickets for the couple.

After buying the tickets, the man and woman sat in the last row.

But even Chen Cao and the conductor sitting in the front row could still hear their flirting and laughing.

After an hour of driving, another woman came up.

"Hey, Chinese, what is your impression of the United States?" asked the driver sitting in the front.

In the long night, even the driver would be bored, so he took the initiative to talk to Chen Cao.

Although it was inconvenient for him to turn his head, it did not affect their communication.

"Very strange country. ”

"Why the strange country?"

"Arguably, the United States is the most developed and powerful country, but there is a lot of chaos here. ”

"Chaos? You say America is in chaos?"

"I come from a relatively poor rural area in China. In the past 25 years, I have never encountered a single shooting, but in the United States, in the past year, I have encountered at least five shootings, the first time was on the third day of my arrival in the United States. ”

"Well, to show you the bad side of the United States, I apologize to you for my homeland. The driver said in a mocking tone.

"The United States is a very strange country, it is such a developed country, but it is full of a lot of violence. ”

"So, I think we should find a Chinese to be president." The driver said.

Most Americans don't have a favorable opinion of politicians, and for the most part, they talk about politics in an entertaining mindset.

Chen Cao, the driver and the conductor chatted very happily.

Chen Cao also told them some of the good and bad in China.

At that moment, the bus stopped again, and four big men came up.

Two of them carried a large satchel.

By this time, halfway through the journey.

Chen Cao was very curious, in this kind of wilderness, how could these big men appear here.

After these four people got into the car, they sat in the back seat silently.

"By the way, did you know that there is a legend about this highway?"

"The legend of this highway?"

"This is Route 666. The driver said: "The construction of this road was started in 1966, and it was not completed until 1972, and for a period of six years, this road had a major casualty accident on the first day of its operation, with 13 deaths, and the number of people who died during the construction of the road was exactly 66." The driver said.

In Western countries, 6 and 13 are both very unlucky numbers.

6 represents the devil and 13 represents Satan.

In Hollywood film and television works, 6 and 13 are also often used as symbols of demons and evil by various horror movies.

Since then, there have been frequent cases of cars going missing along the way. ”

"That's why this road is also called the highway to hell. The driver said in a terrifying tone.

However, Chen Cao obviously heard that the driver deliberately created this atmosphere for entertainment.

"I'll tell you my friend's story. "My friend is an explorer, and he and his team once explored an ancient ruin. ”

"Wait, isn't this supposed to be an archaeologist? Why are you called an explorer?"

"I don't know, that's not the point. Chen Cao said.

Twenty minutes later, the driver said, "Do you think that if the queen of the Crypt Demon dies, then a male will be picked out and then transformed into a female?"

"Hmm. ”

At this moment, a woman's voice came from behind Chen Cao.

"This is a hive mode, in fact, most of the queen and worker bees in the colony are a species, the worker bee in the larval period, will select at least one larva to live in the queen bee table, and then the larvae will evolve into the queen bee in the queen bee table, in most of the time, there will only be one queen bee in the bee colony, in addition to the alternation of the old and the new, there may be two queen bees, but if the queen bee is lost because of an accident, then the colony will be in a very short time, re-let a mature body mutate. ”

Chen Cao turned his head and saw that it was a woman with slightly messy hair and thick glasses.

Feeling Chen Cao's gaze, the woman grinned and showed her braces.

Chen Cao has a slight appearance association, and this woman looks like a nerd.

It's almost unkempt, and it's quite rustic to wear, with a green old jacket and a colorful T-shirt.

"Hello, I'm Villian. ”

"I'm Chen Cao. Chen Cao shook hands with Villian.

Villian lifted the frame of his glasses: "Judging from what you just described, it doesn't seem like you're telling a story, your description of the Crypt Demon is very complete, language, habits, and appearance, it's like you're talking about a real near-human race." ”

"Then don't take what I'm saying as a story. Chen Cao smiled and said, "Are you a student of biology?"

"Yes, I'm a biology tutor at the University of California, San Diego, and my research focuses on reptiles and primate genetics. ”

"It looks like we're sort of colleagues. Chen Cao said with a smile.

The University of California, San Diego and the University of San Diego are not the same school, and people who don't know can confuse the two.

The University of California, San Diego, is a member of the University of California consortium and the University of Los Angeles, so it makes sense for Chen Cao to say that they are colleagues.

The University of San Diego, on the other hand, is a Catholic university affiliated with the Catholic Church.

In the ranking of the world's top universities, the UC San Diego district is ranked far above the University of San Diego.

This shows how strong the academics of the University of California Alliance are, because the academics of the ten schools, as well as most of the resources, are shared.

"You are?"

"I am a tutor in the Department of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles branch campus. ”

"Hello. Villian hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake hands with Chen Cao.

She was a very shy girl, although she was probably twenty-six or seventeen years old.

But what came to my face was a wave of greenness.

Chen Cao was very skeptical that Villian was not a place... Woman.

Of course, there is probably an old word added to the front.

"Hey man, how long will it take to get to Los Angeles?" a voice came from behind.

The voice was made by one of the last four people to get on the bus.

"It's going to take more than two hours. The driver replied: "The fog here seems to have gotten bigger, weird, it's still some distance from the coastline, why is it so foggy?"

"It's supposed that the cold air blowing from the seaside meets the California thermal, which creates the cold air. Villian said.
