Chapter 7: Observations
The female killer is gone.
In fact, after she 'understood' Daozi's great plan, she took the initiative to ask Ying to accompany her, on the grounds that Daozi had no magic power, and it was difficult to move an inch in this dangerous wasteland, and she wanted to accompany her to protect her.
Of course, Cheng An rejected her for two reasons.
First, as the saying goes, distance produces beauty.
Because everyone is not familiar with each other, he can bluff each other, and Daozi has no 'great change in temperament'.
But once she is by her side, everyone gets along day and night, no matter how thoughtful people are, they will involuntarily reveal some of their original living habits.
After staying together for a long time, maybe one day, this tough and inhuman female killer will suddenly wake up and find that her own Daozi has already been occupied by the dove, so she can't directly kill the enemy on the spot?
I can let you follow the ghost.
Another reason is that there is a time displayed on the coordinates in front of Cheng An's eyes.
Countdown: 22:35:14↓
In other words, after a day and a night, this dream trip of his will come to an end, and he himself will return to the real world.
What will happen to this body when it returns?
Will time stand still in this world until the next stargate opens?
Or will he summon the host's own soul again, and he will have corresponding behaviors and actions in front of the next stargate, which no one can predict.
When the future is uncertain, where does Cheng An dare to carry a time bomb with him.
He saw that the identity of the female killer should be unusual, but if the other party didn't say it himself, of course he couldn't ask, so he would give up.
"It's terrible, I hope we never see each other again."
Cheng An put on a thermostatic suit, endured the pungent strong smell of blood, and cleaned the compartment and cab.
Then, he dug a pit in the loess on the left side, put the bodies of four bodyguards who had died in it, poured some gasoline, and incinerated them on the spot.
There were several spare sets of clothes in the car, Cheng An changed into an ordinary coat, and the valuable pink jade bracelet was also hidden in the cabinet, making himself look simple and ordinary except for his appearance, not so dazzling.
Then, he was going to go to the Hanging Heaven Realm alone!
With this truck as a safe haven, as long as you follow the line of the sky, you can reach your destination.
The cab of the truck is rudimentary, uncomplicated, and doesn't have as many auxiliary functions, but for Cheng An, who has only driven an automatic transmission in his previous life, this is a challenge.
With no one to guide him and he could only explore it on his own, he kept repeating the tedious operation of extinguishing the fire and igniting it.
After stumbling and driving for more than half an hour, I was barely able to drive normally.
A novice driver, a "murder car" that had killed four people, just swayed like this, maintaining a turtle speed of about 40 yards, driving alone in the place where these two poles are reversed.
"Love you walking alone in the dark alley...... Love the way you turn off the fire...... Love you to confront the barricades...... Won't let ......"
With the sound of the sudden motor turning, a children's song occasionally sounded, and it continued to float forward in this wasteland.
A lone traveler in the frost and snow, the sea is dry and ice!
……
Before you know it, it's getting late, and darkness covers the earth.
A full moon rose, and under the bright moonlight, the night was as bright as day, but the demonic wind was getting stronger and stronger, blowing the body squeaky and wailing.
Countdown: 17:41:02↓
"It's been four hours of driving, and if you get 200 kilometers to the Hanging Heaven Realm, it shouldn't be far, right?"
Cheng An soothed his sore muscles and bones and rubbed his eyes.
Although the night road was rough, he had no intention of stopping, because he was dying of hunger.
Depressed, there was no food prepared in the car except for some drinks, and he had to rush to the Hanging Heaven Realm early to look for food.
However, there is no navigation, no 'progress bar' to check the life, which is extremely torturous.
He took a sip of water, but it didn't suppress the hunger that had been rising, and he only felt more and more uncomfortable in his stomach.
"If I knew that I wouldn't let the female killer go, it's better to be hacked to death than to be starved to death."
Cheng An thought with some regret, at this moment, he completely understood that the phrase "people take food as the sky" is really the biggest truth in the world.
At this time, there were signs of human activity ahead, and some lights shone brightly.
"I hope it's not a hunter, I'm done with a robber...... However, in such a sinister environment, both good and bad people are easy to die here, and normal robbers should not choose such a place to set up a mountain. ”
Cheng An hesitated for a moment and chose to continue driving.
After a while, a caravan of more than a dozen people came into view.
There were four very old mud trucks, all about 11 meters long, covered with tarpaulins, parked on the road.
Leaning on these mud trucks as a windshield wall, nearly several thick tents were set up on the ground, and several bonfires were lit, on which iron pots were set up, and the rich aroma of rice and meat permeated here.
Smelling the aroma of food in the air, Cheng An's stomach screamed uncontrollably, he was so hungry that he couldn't do it.
"This should be a caravan, I'll go exchange some food with them, it shouldn't be a big problem."
Cheng An looked at the car seat next to him, there were a lot of items that could be worth money, four watches, and a few gold and silver jewelry.
After stuffing his things into the saddle box, he slowed down and stopped at the front of the makeshift camp.
This naturally caught the attention of the other party.
After a while, two stout men stepped out of it and greeted them.
Cheng An noticed that their clothes were more special, like the stitching of half a down jacket and half a raincoat, and they didn't know what was stuffed in their chest and abdomen, and it looked like a simplified version of a thermostat.
After the two men approached, they vigilantly walked around Cheng An's truck before approaching.
After Cheng An rolled down the window, one of the men looked at his appearance and obviously hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Xiao ...... Sir, may I ask you what is the matter? We're in the camp, and your car can turn around from the side, so it won't delay you on your way. ”
As for the other younger male, he looked in through the car window for a while, and after finding that Cheng An was the only one, his gaze stayed on him in surprise for a moment, but quickly retracted.
Sometimes, being handsome is also a deterrent, such as at this moment, when strangers see such a handsome young man, driving alone on a dangerous front, they will instinctively be jealous.
Cheng An estimated the other party's age of forty or fifty years old, with the appearance characteristics of an oriental, and smiled apologetically: "That's the case, I'm going to the Hanging Heaven Realm, I'm tired and hungry all the way, and when I meet you here to make a fire and cook, I can't help but want to beg you for food." ”
The man looked around: "Are you the only one?" ”
"No, I still have a few friends, but they left earlier than me, and they went to the Hanging Heaven Realm to wait for me first, it looks like I'm going to be a little late." Cheng An's expression was sincere, implying that the other party was not alone.
"We're going to leave after a while, we haven't prepared too much food......" the man grimaced.
Cheng An just handed out an inconspicuous watch: "I'm sorry, I didn't bring any money, can I use this to pay for a meal?" ”
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, yes, this is completely enough, thank you for your generosity." ”
It seems that he is very happy with the watch, well, I am a little careless and it is not clear what the specific value of these things is in this world......
Cheng An said quietly: "Thank you." ”
He turned off the car, put on his thermostat, and followed the two men into their camp.
After a glance, Cheng An had a number, there were thirteen people in this camp, mixed men and women, there were ten middle-aged men and women, and the younger ones were only one man and two young girls, all of whom were curiously sneaking a look at Cheng An.
The middle-aged man instructed his wife to serve Cheng An a bowl of steaming broth, and it could be seen that there were boiled potatoes and meat bones tumbling in it.
With a bowl of hot soup in his stomach, Cheng An felt that he was alive again.
The few people in the camp were also much less wary of him, and began to chat with him cautiously, and slowly, everyone gradually became acquainted.
The dialogue between each other has also changed from Mr., Madam, and Your Excellency to uncle, aunt, and little brother.
The two young girls looked at Cheng An's face the whole time, as if they were very curious about him and couldn't take their eyes off him.
From the conversation, Cheng An learned that they were residents of the Hanging Heaven Realm, and the five middle-aged men were all veterans.
No wonder a few people dared to take their wives and children and started a business as a businessman.
The trucks were carrying tea and cloth from Kowloon, as well as some fragile handicrafts and glass products.
During this period, Cheng An knocked on the side of some news about the Hanging Heaven Realm, and gained a little.
The Vertical Heaven Realm is a city located on the border of the Federation, located in the mainland transportation hub, the city is mixed, there are everyone in the south and north of the world, and I heard that there are many fugitives hiding here.
The control of the federal military in this place is very weak, but fortunately, there are three major churches in the local area, such as the Church of Machinery, the Church of Life, and the Church of the God of War, so it is quite stable.
Cheng An was naturally most interested in these churches, and the purpose of his trip was them.
After all, he is a Taoist who has come to defect.
What is known is that the theocracy in the federation is supreme, and there are 12 Orthodox churches in the country.
As for how to get in touch with the transcendent of the Divine Blood Dao, Cheng An was still confused, and was ready to go to the Hanging Heaven Realm first to explore.
He didn't have the bottom now, but at least, he couldn't go directly to the archbishop who had come to answer him.
What to do, Cheng An has too little information now, and he hasn't thought about it yet.
His initial plan was to go to the Heavenly Realm and first find a way to join the church on his own and study what the situation was like in the Divine Blood Dao.
It is too unsafe not to come into contact with that kind of unfathomable transcendent person unless it is absolutely necessary.
After three bowls of broth, Cheng An felt about the same, so he got up to say goodbye and asked casually: "How do the three major churches recruit believers?" ”
When the boss of the convoy heard this, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "So you want to join the church?" That's easy, I, and my wife, are all believers in the God of War Church, why don't you go with us, and when you reach the Heavenly Realm, we will recommend you to the church to join. ”
"But I'm from Kowloon, won't that make a difference?" Cheng An asked.
"You can rest assured that our God will not refuse to run to his Lamb, and that a young, devout believer like you may be able to gather the blood of God and become a noble priest in the future." His wife said enviously.
"And this?" Cheng An was surprised.
He was worried about whether he would be arrested as a spy if he went, but now it seems that he doesn't need to worry about that.
Thinking about it, Cheng An held the hand of the team boss and said seriously: "Thank you, uncle, for solving my doubts, what can I repay, please feel free to say." ”
The other people in the convoy looked at this scene with envy, everyone was an old man, and they could see at a glance that this young man came from an unusual way, and he was definitely not a skin that a poor family could raise.
The boss of the team smiled honestly: "This is also to contribute to the church, and I am embarrassed to ask for payment, so let's not dislike it, let the two girls in our team go to your car to take shelter, in our car, the environment is not so comfortable, they have been sitting very hard." ”
"Forehead ......"
Cheng An remembered that he had died in the carriage, but after so long, the smell should have dissipated, so he agreed without hesitation: "There is no problem with this." ”
While speaking, the two girls who had been sitting raised their heads and looked at Cheng An fixedly, their eyes were warm and excited.
Cheng An smiled at them and turned to open the door.
The two girls also smiled behind his back.
The corners of his mouth grinned, and he opened his lips to reveal a mouthful of yellow, sharp, fine teeth.
