Chapter Ninety-Nine: On the Road
Leaving Canberra, Zheng Jing looked at the map and decided to drive along the coastline.
For the next three days, Zheng Jing traveled all the way along the coastline from Canberra to Brisbane, the capital of Queensland.
Brisbane, also known as Brisbane, is the capital of Queensland and the most populous city in Queensland.
Brisbane is located in the eastern part of mainland Australia, bordering the Sunshine Coast to the north and the international tourist destination of Gold Coast to the south.
As Australia's third most populous city, Brisbane is home to 2.3 million people, behind Sydney and Melbourne.
Before arriving at a hotel in Chermside, Zheng Jing parked his car and went to the hotel lobby.
Coming to the hotel front desk to check in, Zheng Jing took the room card and carried a backpack to the room on the third floor.
The first thing you do when you enter the room is to take a shower.
He hadn't bathed since he left Canberra three days ago.
If it weren't for something wrong with the car, Zheng Jing wouldn't have stopped here.
When he came out of the shower, Zheng Jing found that it was already dark.
I looked at the time, and it was already more than six o'clock and almost seven o'clock.
The whole person was lying on the bed, and Zheng Jing couldn't help but moan.
Comfortable.
Because the routes he traveled were all in prosperous areas, he didn't dare to put out the mobile home at night, so he could only sleep in the car, and slept for three days in a row, which had already exhausted his body.
If it weren't for the special forces potion that continued to strengthen his body, he really wouldn't dare to toss like this.
…………
Early the next morning, Zheng Jing checked out and left the hotel.
I drove to the gas station to fill up the fuel tank, set the navigation and drove along the highway towards the 1,400-kilometer Yin Sa Mountain.
Mount Insar is an inland town in northwestern Queensland, Australia, close to the Northern Territory.
Although it is a small town, the administrative hierarchy of Yin Sa Hill is the "city", which is the most important industrial and administrative center in north-west Queensland, and the main economic source here is the ore industry, followed by animal husbandry.
Due to its inland location and lack of livelihood resources, the local population has not been very large.
Today, the total population is just over 30,000.
What is the concept of more than 30,000 people in a city? There are not as many people as a town in Huaxia.
As we drive north, the environment becomes more and more harsh and barren.
After two days of driving, Zheng Jing came to the edge of the Simpson Desert.
The Simpson Desert is one of the eleven deserts in Australia.
Seeing the town in front of him, Zheng Jing decided to rest here for the night.
Winton
When he entered the town again, Zheng Jing saw the name of the town on the street sign next to him.
As a small town on the edge of the Simpson Desert, thousands of people live here.
Stopping outside a hotel, Zheng Jing stopped the car and walked in.
"Welcome."
As soon as he walked in, Zheng Jing saw a beautiful parrot talking.
Hearing the movement, the boss, who was sitting at the back of the front desk, stood up.
The innkeeper was an obese white man, and when he saw Zheng Jing coming in, he said embarrassedly:
"Are you going to stay? Sorry, the room is full. ”
Hearing that there was no room in the hotel, Zheng Jing stopped and said, "Oh, it's a pity."
Coming out of the hotel, Zheng Jing returned to the car and decided to take a walk around the town to see if there was any other place to stay.
The town was small and it didn't take him a few minutes to get around.
He discovers that there is only one hotel in the town.
It seems that I can't take a bath today, so I can only sleep in the wild.
Leaving the town and driving on the desert road, Zheng Jing drove very slowly, and he was going to find a place to shelter from the wind and sand.
Not long after driving forward, three kilometers away from the town, Zheng Jing saw a stone slope more than three meters high in the desert on the left side of the road.
Came to the stone slope and stopped the car, Zheng Jing got out of the car with a weapon.
Climbing up the stone slope, Zheng Jing stood on it and took a look, and found that this stone slope was very long, about more than 200 meters long.
Let's get off the book
Coming down the stone slope, Zheng Jing returned to the car and drove forward for some distance before stopping.
Stopping the car, Zheng Jing took a look and found that he couldn't see it at all from the highway, and a stone wall protruding outward just blocked the view from the outside.
As the sun gradually set, Zheng Jing could clearly feel that the temperature was dropping.
In order to prevent people from coming, Zheng Jing decided to wait until it was dark to take out the house.
After dark, Zheng Jing got out of the car, stood in an open space and took the house out.
There was a "bang", and a house appeared in front of me out of thin air.
Taking advantage of the night, Zheng Jing pushed open the door and entered, turned on the light in the room, and the light instantly dispelled the darkness.
Coming to the table and sitting down, Zheng Jing took out food and cold beer from the space and ate it.
After eating and drinking enough to rest for a while, before going to bed, Zheng Jing went to the outside of the house to check, and returned to the house with peace of mind after finding that there were no wild animals coming.
Now he is located on the edge of the Simpson Desert, which is sparsely populated and has a lot of wildlife here.
For his own safety, Zheng Jing had to come out to check it.
Lying on the bed and looking at the weak signal on the mobile phone, Zheng Jing took out the satellite phone from the space.
Seeing the full grid of signals on the satellite phone, Zheng Jing put it on the bedside table next to him.
Nothing was said all night.
Following.
Early in the morning, Zheng Jing got up from bed.
The first thing I do when I wake up is to come out and check.
Seeing that there was no one outside, Zheng Jingcai returned to the house with confidence.
After eating, the sky was slightly bright, and after looking at the time, Zheng Jing knew that it was time to go.
After putting away the house, Zheng Jing came to the car on the side, started the car and drove away.
Coming to the highway, Zheng Jing looked at the front and rear directions and found that there was no car.
Thinking of the words of the hotel housekeeper, Zheng Jing took out the submachine gun and put it on the co-pilot on the side.
I hope that there is no one who does not have long eyes.
…………
After eight hours of driving, Zheng Jing came to Yin Sashan City.
Entering Yin Sa Mountain, Zheng Jing looked at the time.
One o'clock in the afternoon.
It's still early before dark.
Seeing that it was just over a little over, Zheng Jing decided to add some fuel and leave.
At first, Zheng Jing thought about resting here for one night, but seeing that it was still early, he changed his mind again.
After looking at the map, Zheng Jing decided to rest in the small town of Kamuwell, 170 kilometers away.
Filling up the gas, Zheng Jing did not stop here and left the city along the main road of the city.
Zheng Jing originally thought that such a short distance could be reached in more than three hours, but who knew that not far from Yin Sashan saw a car accident ahead.
A truck overturned on its side, blocking the road.
Stopping the car, Zheng Jing did not go down, but waited in the car.
I didn't know what was going on, and I waited for more than an hour for rescue to come.
Seeing the rescue vehicles and personnel coming, Zheng Jing put down his mobile phone and started the vehicle ready to leave at any time.
I waited for more than half an hour.
When I arrived in the small town of Kamuwell, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
As luck would have it this time, there were still rooms in the hostel in the town.
"How long are you going to stay?" Henry Sr., the innkeeper, asked.
"I'm only going to stay one night, and I'll leave tomorrow morning."
"Ok, no problem, this is the key, the room is on the second floor and the third on the left."
took the key, went to the room on the second floor, pushed the door in, and Zheng Jing looked carefully.
The room was not big, just a bed, a desk, a bathroom, and a TV.
Fifty Australian dollars a night, not very expensive.
After taking a shower, Zheng Jing sat at the table and prepared to eat.
Disguised with a backpack, Zheng Jing took out two packaged foods from the space.
Open the box and it's steaming.
It's very comfortable to have a hot meal here.
After eating, Zheng Jing put away the box.
It can't be put out for people to see.
After eating and drinking, he lay on the bed and took out the yellow paper with the road map drawn on it and looked at it.
He is now on the edge of Queensland, thirteen kilometres ahead of the Northern Territory.
When you enter the Northern Territory, you will walk more than 400 kilometers to reach the location recorded on the treasure map.
Hopefully the treasure is real.
Thinking of this, Zheng Jing suddenly felt a little nervous, if the treasure was fake, his whole body would crack.
After determining the route and putting the route map into the space, Zheng Jing took out his mobile phone and watched the American drama.
I didn't go to bed until ten o'clock at night, when sleepiness hit.
At six o'clock the next morning, Zheng Jing came out of the room.
Coming to the first floor, the innkeeper Henry Sr. was cooking.
Hearing footsteps, he looked up and found Zheng Jing coming down from the stairs with a backpack on his back.
"Leaving so early?"
"yes, isn't there something wrong, leave early." Zheng Jing handed over the key and said.
Old Henry put down the spatula, took the key, and asked, "By the way, where are you going?"
"I'm going to Beckon Hill Ranch in the Northern Territory." Zheng Jing casually said a place.
"Wouldn't that be through the wilderness? I don't recommend you to drive alone, it's dangerous in the wilderness, poisonous snakes, poisonous spiders, poisonous insects can be seen everywhere, and it's dangerous for you to be alone. ”
Hearing Old Henry's words, Zheng Jing said with a smile: "I don't go in the wilderness, I go over the road."
Hearing this, old Henry smiled: "You should be here for the first time, the road from here to the Northern Territory beckoning ranch is through the wilderness area. It is said that it is a road, but it is actually a dirt road, and the danger has not decreased much. ”
I see.
Zheng Jing thought it was an asphalt road through the wilderness area.
If it were to be as old Henry had said, it would be dangerous.
However, as long as he doesn't get out of the wilderness area, it shouldn't be dangerous, right?
Hearing Zheng Jing say this, old Henry shook his shoulders and said, "Of course, there is basically no danger if you don't get out of the car."
"But can you guarantee that you won't get out of the car? Know that anything can happen in the wilderness. ”
Old Henry said meaningfully.
Hearing this, Zheng Jing thought a lot for a moment.
"I'm confident in my luck." Zheng Jing said with a smile.
"In that case, I wish you a smooth journey."
"Thank you for your blessings, I think it will."
Leaving the hotel and returning to the car, Zheng Jing glanced at the hotel, smiled, and drove away.
Leaving the town, Zheng Jing drove along the road towards the Northern Territory, thirteen kilometers away.
On the way, Zheng Jing kept thinking about what old Henry said.
Listen to what he said, in the wilderness, he might run into some people.
Thinking of this, Zheng Jing grinned and touched the submachine gun on the co-pilot.
Hope don't let him down.
