Chapter 70: Arrival
Anna climbed to the top of the pickup truck and stared at the fifth car retreating in a panic.
Through the front windshield, she could clearly see the frightened expressions on the faces of the group.
Then they hung in reverse gear, slammed on the accelerator and went back franticly.
Retreated all the way to the entrance of the village, retreated to the bridge, and finally fled to the opposite bank, turned around, and ran wildly for his life.
The dust kicked up by the tires could be seen from a distance.
"Looks like I should have escaped safely."
Anna jumped out of the car, "I kind of know what's going on." ”
She pulled the drone out of the box, lifted it back into the air, flew over the two remaining cars, and slowly descended behind the second car, presumably parallel to the rear window.
Now Anna's car is in the first, and there are a few Ekot's younger brothers in the second.
"Ekot, tell them to follow our car closely, don't stop even if it is scratched, just keep walking."
Although Ekot didn't understand why, he saw Anna's confident appearance and made arrangements.
Then the driver started the car in a state of apprehension.
The remaining two cars started slowly, like tractors, one by one, almost at idle.
The bizarre disappearance did not happen, and the two cars left smoothly through the back door of the village.
"How did you do that?" Eket was shocked, "We didn't seem to have done anything, how did we come out smoothly?" ”
The people in the car behind were already clapping and cheering.
"Actually, I'm just summarizing the rules."
One by one, Anna explained to Ekot:
"One, the drone and the people you send out can come and go as they please."
"Second, the three of us walking behind are fine."
"Third, the node where the two cars in front of you disappeared was just after the big turn completely disappeared."
"Fourth, the smooth departure of the retreating vehicle will not be affected."
"Therefore, there is only one reason, and the law of this treacherous attack is that it cannot disappear from other people's field of vision."
She finished her reasoning in one sitting, but Ekot clearly didn't quite understand it.
"Since you can't disappear from other people's sight, how can the people I sent out come back? I won't be able to see him after I get in......"
Anna held up the drone's remote control, "You can't see it, but I can see it, I'm staring at him on the screen." ”
Ekot wanted to ask a question, but he couldn't.
"I'm stunned by you, forget it, just come out, I don't want to go back to that place anyway."
In Ekot's view, the things that his own trickery can't solve are equivalent to no solution, and what can come out of it is blood to earn, what is the law? I can't understand it anyway.
And the few remaining members of Ekot's convoy and the two guides that Anna brought with them looked at her with reverence.
In such a short period of time, I saw through the law of treachery.
After leaving the village, the last two pickups continued north.
The last part of the road never encountered any accidents.
Although there are no dangers along the way, this is only for Anna, but for ordinary people, there is death and no life in both places.
The city of North Bay is finally at hand.
Although they are all "cities", this place is really much smaller than Coniebleton.
Corneburton is a long way from the complex, and the suburbs of North Bay are scattered farmsteads.
I didn't see any big factories along the way.
It is an extremely underdeveloped city.
The city of North Bay is located in the northernmost part of the country, south of the border.
"A million people in a city of this size?" Anna looked at the ruined city in front of her and felt incredible.
Ekot had been here before, and he introduced her: "A lot of people in North Bay City live in the townships, and many of the larger towns have tens of thousands of people, and there may be two or three hundred thousand in the urban area, but now it should be even less." ”
That's easy to understand.
The millions of people in Conierburton are all in the city, so it's not the same.
"It's still extravagant...... Anna lamented, "and the city of these people has a powerful trickster in charge, and maybe there are other tricksters......"
Look at how miserable Dachang City is, the number of tricksters at the time of Zhou Zhenggang's death was 0.
But for ordinary people, in a foreign environment that is almost Gu raising, even if there are more tricksters, it is just a bunch of powerful masters on the top of their heads.
As soon as they drove into the city, a large group of ragged people suddenly surrounded them from various corners.
They frantically squeezed through the car body, found no food in it, and then scattered in all directions.
"Isn't this place all farmland? How can there be a shortage of food? Anna was puzzled.
"Freight transportation is basically interrupted, fertilizer and fuel cannot be transported, mechanized agriculture cannot be carried out, and what harvest can be achieved by relying on primitive farming?" Coupled with the supernatural events, many places have been abandoned, and it is even more difficult to eat. ”
"Paranormal events have also led to a surge in unemployment, and many people can't find jobs and have to wander."
There was some embarrassment in his words, "If I hadn't become a trickster, I would have been one of them." ”
The streets are deserted, and there are very few shops open.
The pickup truck drove unhindered all the way to City Hall in the city center.
But the group apparently lacks sufficient knowledge of North Bay's recent situation.
As they followed the navigation and signage to the town hall in the heart of the city, they were embarrassed to find that it had been reduced to ruins.
Ekot instructed his subordinates to bring in a passer-by to inquire, and learned that there had been a battle between the Tricksters that had taken place before.
Although it was the tricksters of North Bay City who won, the city hall was also ruined.
And then the winner didn't bother to rebuild, so he changed places.
As for where it went, passers-by are not clear.
"So I'm looking for a trickster who is good at tracking now? How do I feel like I'm looking for a needle in a haystack? ”
Anna looked at Ekot, "You're here to join him, don't you have any good ideas?" ”
Ekot thought for a moment and said, "According to my observation, the trickster should live in the most exclusive and luxurious place in the city, and enjoy the most people's services. ”
Then they went to several places in a row that could barely be called rich areas, and they all came to naught.
Anna didn't count on them now, so she could only secretly divinate herself.
But it may be that there is too little information to get the vague conclusion that "this is where you want to go".
But this is not nonsense, the key is that there are two or three hundred thousand people here, how to find it?
Do you want to put up a notice on the street?
It doesn't seem like a very friendly act.
Moreover, two tricksters of unknown origin find local tricksters as soon as they come up, which is also easy to make people have bad associations.
Plus it's known that the person doesn't have a good temper.
Anna sat in the car and pondered, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
