Chapter 598: The Man Who Chased Dreams
"In the last two hundred meters, the problem in this place is quite obvious, if it were on earth, even in dense fog, I should be able to see a little outline, but now, I can't see anything."
Standing at an intersection, the Immortal said to the path ahead.
This time, even Gong Piqing could see that in the world they are in now, there must be a mistake between them and the Hades, the Hades said that two hundred meters ahead is the iron mine, and now, they can see the end of their sight at a glance, let alone two hundred meters, they can see the tree at the end of the road that can't say what kind of tree it is, and the tree must be at least four or five hundred meters away from them, which is completely inconsistent with the "two hundred meters" in Hades's mouth.
But from Gong Piqing's point of view, whether Hades is right or wrong, this is a rather terrible thing, because if Hades is right, then it means that what they see with their eyes is wrong, and there must be something in this world that can deceive their sight, and they just don't know anything about this kind of thing.
And if Hades is wrong, then it can also show that there is something or power in this world that even Hades can deceive, and they still haven't figured out what this thing or power is, and maybe they will be like entering some kind of illusion in the future, until they are pushed to the edge of the cliff before they realize that they have fallen into the enemy's trap again......
In their hearts, they are also engaged in a fierce psychological struggle at the same time, on the one hand, they want to hurry up and see how long it will take for Hades to see the so-called "iron ore field two hundred meters away", and on the other hand, they want not to go so fast, after all, they already know in their hearts that things are not so simple, if they go further, they will know the truth of the matter sooner or later, but now, they don't know what the truth of the matter is......
Therefore, the positions of the two have invisibly undergone subtle changes, at the beginning, it was the Hades who walked in front and Gong Piqing followed behind, because this helped the Hades to use his mind reconnaissance ability to reconnoiter the situation ahead in advance.
And now, their position has changed, Gong Piqing subconsciously quickened his pace, and before he knew it, he had already left the Hades King six or seven meters behind him.
If you ignore that they are both dressed similarly, it is estimated that passers-by will really think of them as two people who don't know each other.
They hadn't spoken to each other since Gong Piqing surpassed Hades, as they had both focused on scouting.
In fact, from a realistic point of view, they didn't find anything abnormal from the bright side, the sun in the sky was still bright, the small bungalow next to them was still so cute, and the soft warm breeze was still blowing in the air - they couldn't detect anything abnormal from their surroundings at all.
But because of this, their hearts are even more uneasy, because if everything is normal, why can't they still see things "two hundred meters away"?
In the end, Gong Piqing stopped at the end of the path, not only because their location at the moment is too remote or what, I don't know since when, there will be no trace of pedestrians on this path, even if at first you can still see some sparse pedestrians walking on the road, but now, how long has it been since they saw anyone else, is it ten minutes? Or twenty minutes?
Neither of them knows.
Hades followed Gong Piqing's gaze to a small bungalow beside the path, and from under the bungalow he saw two things that resembled vintage bicycles.
For him, within seconds of his gaze falling on it, he could already see what it was for.
That is some kind of transportation used for transportation, and the use is basically the same as a bicycle, and it is similar to that old-fashioned bicycle, but the old-fashioned bicycle on their earth is a small rear wheel, and their bicycle is a small front wheel and a large rear tire, and the bicycles in the country of machinery do not have that kind of chain transmission structure, and their front and rear wheels are used to drive by gear occlusion.
"Otherwise, let's not care about the hundreds of meters ahead, we have already seen the problems in this place, since we don't know how far ahead there is, just ride their car away." Gong Piqing said, and made a gesture to the Hades, which meant to ride the two chariots with the Hades King.
Hades followed behind Gong Piqing, and when Gong Piqing finally jumped into the car, Hades hesitated.
"Get in the car, don't care if it's two thousand meters or two hundred meters ahead, get in the car first!" Gong Piqing said, stepping on one foot on the pedal.
"But do you remember...... The last time we ...... in the Land of Machines," the Hades wanted to say something, but never got on another bike.
Gong Piqing frowned, "What's wrong?" What are you talking about? โ
"I mean...... Last time we were in the country of machines, or in that tower, we did something unethical and legal, and we were hunted down by that invulnerable mysterious monster, and we haven't encountered anything until now, maybe it's because we haven't done anything out of the ordinary, if you blatantly steal a car like this...... I'm afraid it'll be the same as that time......"
As soon as these words came out, even Gong Piqing fell silent.
"If that's what I'm telling you, I'm already riding on their bikes, is it a violation of morality and the law?"
Hades also fell silent.
The two of them had already figured out each other's tempers, and in this case, as long as the Hades King did not take the lead in breaking the silence, Gong Piqing would have absolute patience to spend with him.
Sure enough, for nearly a minute that the Hades used to think, Gong Piqing didn't say a word, and in the end, it was the Hades who took the lead in breaking the silence.
"Okay...... I should have reminded you in advance, since we have all taken the first step against morality, there is no need to be obsessed with these details later, I also want to know how long these two hundred meters are, and what can deceive my mind reconnaissance! โ
As he spoke, Hades gritted his teeth and jumped directly onto the brass-colored bicycle like Gong Piqing.
Finally, the doubts in their hearts defeated the doubts, and they all wanted to figure out what was the force that made them not even see anything from two hundred meters away, so their legs suddenly exerted, and two old-fashioned brass-colored bicycles sped out of place in an instant.
Gong Piqing has the swift mutation of his legs as a pillar, and his riding speed is almost the same as that of "Flying", while Hades does not have the terrifying leg strength of Gong Piqing, but he can use his mental ability to speed himself up all over his body.
If they were on Earth, they would be able to even exceed the normal speed of most cars, and even for Hades, in order to catch up with Gong Piqing, he had increased his speed to the point where he couldn't even see the road ahead with the naked eye, so he could only judge the road ahead through his mind reconnaissance ability.
With the blessing of such speed, they can ride a distance of more than ten meters every second, which should have been ridden a long time ago for the "two hundred meters" calculated by the Hades King just now.
But in the reconnaissance of Hades' thoughts, Gong Piqing, who was already "speeding", suddenly accelerated again, and disappeared directly from Hades' sight in a few seconds; Hades unconsciously pushed himself from behind with his mental power again, and he felt that his bicycle was a little out of control, but not long after he "flew out", he heard Gong Piqing's shouts from ahead.
"I saw it! It's the iron ore mine! You're right! Gong Piqing shouted from the front, and then a brake mark appeared in the eyes of the Hades King who didn't know how long.
For his body, it was too late to pinch the brakes with his hands at such a speed, so he simply directly exerted a reverse force on his body, causing his speed to drop down instantly.
By the time they stopped, their hair had been blown back by the wind, like two new brooms.
In front of their road, the bungalows that had lined the path were long gone, and this side was desolate, but in front of them, several huge buildings came into view, as if there was another city in front of them.
But for Gong Piqing, the city ahead is incredibly familiar -
For the city in front of him, his familiarity was actually average, but for the steel buildings in front of him, which fell to the ground and looked like the skeleton of some steel giant, he had a sense of familiarity in his heart.
"Yes...... Here we are, yes. Gong Piqing looked ahead and said softly......
