Chapter 540: The Spliced World
The Maybach tore through the white fog and galloped across the road. Inside the car, Chu Tianjiao, who was holding the steering wheel, had an extremely ugly face.
It was dark last night, and he couldn't see the specific appearance of the city clearly, but he felt that something was faintly wrong. And after dawn, even if there was fog blocking his vision, he still found those places that made him feel strange last night...... This is no longer the city he knows.
Towering buildings that look like the likes of a cosmopolitan big city stand tall in the dilapidated old town, in stark contrast to the low-rise residential buildings. Clean cement roads and cracked asphalt roads are intertwined, and no matter how you look at them, they are very incompatible. The shops on the street are old and new, with dusty roller shutters on one side and clean glass doors on the other......
Dilapidated and advanced, backward and new, two very different styles of architecture are intertwined in a way that defies common sense. It's like being spliced together by a baby playing with a toy.
Chu Tianjiao saw that the food stall he often went to had turned into a digital specialty store that looked quite advanced, and with his understanding of the camera, he didn't even know the products displayed on the advertisements outside the door.
Ever since the Headmaster took over the mission, he had known what secrets the city was hiding behind it, a secret that might have been about why the dragon civilization was hidden. But when he really got close to the secret, he was not happy at all, because his wife and son were swept in.
Retracting his gaze from the somewhat ridiculous scene on the street, Chu Tianjiao glanced down at the signal source that was constantly flickering on the terminal screen, and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.
To be honest, he somewhat regretted leaving his wife and son in the safe house. Although he was confident that it was safe, the familiar city had changed dramatically, and he was not sure that it would be as safe as he thought.
There is also about the comatose commissioner, although Chu Tianjiao still can't think of which old friend's junior he is, but if he continues to be in a coma, it will be a little bad to rely on his somewhat natural wife and son to support the field.
Thinking of this, his friend glanced down at the signal source in the terminal that began to gradually move. Compared to the wife and children who are still in a safe place, it is even more bad to let these guys wander outside.
The owner of this signal is dangling in the same place like a stupid roe deer, who knows if he will suddenly bump into Deadpool who doesn't know where to hide. He's not afraid of those guys who don't have any brains except for being fierce, but not everyone is S-class like him.
The Maybach drove on a viaduct they had never seen before, the same way they had taken last night. Ignoring the fog that affected his vision, the speed had already exceeded two hundred per hour, and Chu Tianjiao looked to the side.
After the rain, a white fog hung over both sides of the road, and it was impossible to see what was beyond the bridge. Chu Tianjiao listened quietly, and after eliminating the sound of the car engine, he faintly heard the sound of water flowing or waves crashing.
Binhai is an inland city, and except for the Yangtze River, which passes by the river, there are only a few small lakes. But none of the above bridges were built, which made him once again firm that this was not the coastal he knew.
In addition to the sound of water, he heard something like the grinding of minions. He snorted coldly, no wonder he didn't see it all the way, it turned out that those things that were killed and no one cared about them were hiding under the viaduct. It seems that they don't move around freely during the day, which makes him let go of some of his worries about his wife and children a little.
I hope the guy who took his bed will wake up sooner, I don't know how good he is, but he should always be able to wield a knife and shoot.
……
"Brother? Are you still not feeling well? The boy looked at Chu Zihang, who fell silent after hearing his name, suspiciously.
Completely sobered up, Chu Zihang moved his head a little stiffly, and by the faint light, he looked at the woman who was still resting in the misty lake. This time, he saw her face thoroughly.
Although the woman already has a child, she still changes the fact that she is beautiful, and the beauty makes him feel extremely familiar. Because over the years, she has hardly changed much, from bending down to pat him on the head, to tiptoeing to tie his tie, she is still like that.
He lowered his head and looked at the boy who was looking at him with a concerned expression. With such a mother, the boy is naturally very beautiful, and there is that cool feeling from the father. But perhaps what is more striking about him is his optimism inherited from his father.
When did you throw away that optimism? Chu Zihang thought about it, and said in a hoarse voice: "...... It's a little, just slow down. ”
The boy nodded, and ran over to take a glass of milk that was still steaming: "Because I don't know when you'll wake up, brother, I've been hot." ”
Chu Zihang stood up, shook his head and said, "Leave it to Mom...... Leave it to your mother. ”
"Mom's already drunk." The boy tugged at the corner of his coat, "This is for my brother." ”
Chu Zihang looked down at him, his childish eyes were full of worry, if he grew up normally, he might become a boy who cared about people and could laugh.
“…… Thank you. This time Chu Zihang did not refuse, he picked up the cup and drank half a cup, feeling much clearer.
The boy went to put the cup down, and he looked around the room. Contrary to what he remembered, the safe house had been hastily renovated, with no display cases containing valuable collectibles, and instead a variety of weapons, both hot and cold.
He looked up, and there were far fewer materials hanging from the ceiling than he remembered. The photo-washing platform in the corner is still there, but there are no photos of him and his mother, instead of photos of the city. Peeling off a photo at random, the building that had aged in his memory was as novel as if it had just been washed out.
Sitting back on the sofa, his hands into his still wet hair, Chu Zihang slowly combed this somewhat unexpected situation.
The boy sat down next to him and handed over a silver digital video recorder: "Dad said, if you wake up, I'll show you this, he has something to say to you." ”
Chu Zihang took over this old-fashioned digital video camera that looked like it had been around for some years and could probably only lie in the cabinet of digital enthusiasts. It took him a while to remember how this thing should be used.
The display screen lit up, looking a little decadent, but the still handsome man waved his hand to him: "Hello, junior." I'm an Executive Commissioner, and I'm on a covert mission. If you know me, I'll save a lot of time to explain, it's normal that you don't know me, after all, I'm in direct contact with Ange, and not many people in the academy know me at all. ”
Chu Zihang silently looked at the man talking to himself on the screen, he was a little younger than he remembered, he was still so full of confidence, and he was still the big hero in his son's mind.
"Long story short." The man continued, "I don't know what your specific mission is, but I think you should notice something is wrong here. ”
This is indeed very abnormal, Chu Zihang watched silently.
The man held up his terminal and said, "I'm going to borrow your stuff for a while, the signal on it seems to be your companions, I'm going to have to find them before they crash headlong into Deadpool's den." Before I come back, my wife and son will ask you to take care of them. ”
The picture ended here, the screen dimmed, and Chu Zihang quietly looked at the distracted eyes above, as well as the reflection in the corners of the eyes.
"Brother." The boy looked up and asked, "Do you know my father?" ”
Chu Zihang also raised his head, put it down after a while, and replied in a normal tone as much as possible: "Yes." ”
The boy looked surprised, and then asked, "Really, is he very good?" How do those monsters compare to him? ”
On the road last night, he was held in his arms by his mother covering his eyes, but he still saw the monsters chasing the car outside the window through his fingers. Ordinary children are probably already scared and crying like their mothers, but he has watched a lot of special effects with his father, and he is still a little excited in addition to being frightened.
“…… He's great, he's one of the best of us. When those monsters meet him, they can only escape. Chu Zihang replied silently.
"I knew that Daddy said that the big hero must be true." The boy was very happy, or any child would be happy to know that his father was a hero fighting against monsters.
"Zihang!" An exclamation came, and Su Xiaoyan, who was woken up in the misty lake, threw away the knife she was holding, and pulled the boy to hide behind her with a panicked face.
She escorted the boy and took a few steps back, and said to Chu Zihang with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, the kid is still ignorant......
"That, you should be Chu Tianjiao's colleague, right? He told you to wait for him here. Su Xiaoyan said a little nervously that the first person she met after facing this world that really entered Chu Tianjiao's world didn't know what to say.
Then she suddenly paused, and the panic on her face turned into worry, "...... Well, are you alright? ”
The young man in front of him lowered his head, his undried hair blocking his eyes. I don't know what's going on, she suddenly remembered her son who was hiding in the corner and crying when she and Chu Tianjiao quarreled for the first time. At that time, the son was probably like this.
Chu Zihang raised his head and said with a normal expression: "Thank you, I'm fine." ”
"That's good......" Su Xiaoyan smiled a little embarrassedly, and pulled her son to whisper.
Without intervening with them or explaining anything, he picked up two handfuls of village rain and sat back on the couch, the atmosphere in the safe house becoming a little cold.
"That, brother. You haven't told us your name yet. The boy who was being held poked his head out and asked.
Chu Zihang's movements paused, and he replied softly: "Lu Mang, giraffe deer, light Mang." ”
"What a rare surname." Su Xiaoyan also participated in order to break the embarrassment and said, "There is also a person surnamed Lu in our city, who is a very powerful entrepreneur. ”
Chu Zihang opened his mouth and fell silent again, and the atmosphere became cold again.
Then to reflect on whether he said something wrong, Su Xiaoyan saw him suddenly stand up, staring at the glass cabinet on the side. She followed his gaze and almost screamed.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the strange figure of a horse riding a horse and wearing heavy armor was peering at them through the glass, with his one eye.
……
The atmosphere was a little tense, and Fingal silently took another desert eagle from Lu Mingfei. Although Chen Motong wanted to ask them for weapons, he looked like they were facing them together, but they were squeezed behind him.
The Maybach's doors were closed, but each of them could feel a pair of golden eyes looking at them through the black sun membrane. Then the window was lowered, and a man with some stubble and an appearance of being in his thirties looked at them quietly.
"This person's handsomeness is not much worse than mine!" Fingal was startled, then turned his head sideways and asked Lu Mingfei on the side, "Is that him?" ”
Shaking his head, Lu Mingfei looked confused: "No, senior brother, he is only one year older than me, and he is not that old." ”
"Well...... "Well," his expression became a little strange, "he looked a little inexplicably familiar. ”
"What are you guys muttering?" Chu Tianjiao interrupted their whispering, "Are you the people sent by the academy to help me?" ”
Aid? What assistance? The three of them looked confused. One of them is wanted for the murder of the principal, the other is also wanted for assaulting and kidnapping colleagues, and the last one is directly kidnapped.
"yes, yes, yes!" Fingal's chick nodded like a peck, and pulled out the World Tree logo in his pocket, "We got separated from our companions, and then we didn't know each other well, so we got lost as a matter of course. ”
Without speaking, Chu Tianjiao looked at them again, his eyes lingering on Lu Mingfei, who felt lost or frightened, for a while. He started the car again, took a few steps forward and turned around. In the intervening moment, Fingal pressed Lu Mingfei's head and whispered a plot to control him later.
Mu Ran nodded, Lu Mingfei turned around and got into the car, and then when he reacted, he looked at the hands and feet that were suddenly tied and stunned.
"I'm wiping it! Time zero! Isn't that something that only principals can use! On his right, Fingal, who had almost turned into a mummy, twisted and screamed.
Maybe it seemed the most difficult to deal with, or maybe his whispered plot was heard, and he was taken care of. Chen Motong on the other side was treated similarly to him, but his hands and feet were controlled.
Chu Tianjiao, who was in the driver's seat, silently lit a cigar, exhaled and said, "Although I have been away from the academy for a long time, not all cats and dogs can pretend to be the commissioners of the academy in front of me. ”
He turned his head and played with their weapons, his golden eyes looking deeply at the three people in the back seat: "Tell me, what are you all from?" ”
