Chapter 45: Patrols
Fang Hao didn't stay long in the ruins, this place gave him a very bad feeling.
After inspecting it, he left the village and continued to the northwest with his bald head.
After walking about seven or eight kilometers, I passed another village. There were no dead bodies outside the village, but all the houses inside were burned down, and the whereabouts of the people and cattle were unknown.
It is not surprising that bandits raid houses and houses, but what do they do to rob so many people and animals?
If all the villages in this area are looted, what will they rob in the future? Isn't this the same as killing a chicken and taking eggs?
And there is such a bandit army in the local area, can the ruler let it go and ignore it?
The Xinghai Plain has a mixed mix of forces, with more than forty kingdoms or tribes, large and small. The northern foot of Kebi Dashan belongs to the sphere of influence of the Frost Dense Country, and it is said that this is a very powerful kingdom, so it can't even be handled by a group of bandits, right?
I couldn't think of a reason for a while, so I simply didn't bother anymore. But this kind of place of right and wrong is definitely not suitable for a long time, and it is still safer to get closer to the stronghold.
After making up his mind, Fang Hao jumped on the back of the bald head and turned on the full speed forward mode.
The bald head is strong with a person on his back, and he still walks like a fly, giving Fang Hao a feeling of flying on the field, and it is estimated that the speed can reach at least 60 kilometers per hour.
This is mainly due to Fang Hao's own discomfort, and he often can't figure out whether he is a driver or a car, otherwise he can be faster.
The few villages along the way were all destroyed. Some buildings were completely burned and some were only partially destroyed.
Fang Hao only glanced outside a few times, and no longer went in to take a closer look.
The bald head ran up and raised dust behind him, and he really ran away in smoke. If there are indigenous people nearby, you will definitely be able to see them. The Derivator Talent does not give any hints, and can basically determine that there are no others in the visible range.
Fang Hao thought to himself, if he continued at this speed, he would be able to reach Xihai Town in three or four hours at most.
was thinking about whether to go straight to the stronghold in one go, when suddenly the bald head was slammed.
Fang Hao was completely unprepared for this, and his whole body flew forward. Fortunately, he is now agile, and his physical strength and physical strength are enough, and he rolled several times with his hands on the ground, and then he lost his strength and stopped.
Wipe the dust off your face and think to yourself, it's really dangerous to fly a car without a seat belt.
Looking back at the bald head, he saw that it was like a plastic doll that had leaked air, first softened, and then quickly dried up.
According to the feedback from the spirit seed, the spirit in the shell has become very weak and can no longer maintain its form.
Although this humanoid car is very cool to run, the battery life is too poor and it is not very useful!
Fang Hao was very regretful, and stepped forward to roll up the shell and put it in the baggage. I don't know if the four groups of Yin Spirit Qi collected before can raise this wandering spirit back, otherwise it will be too expensive to consume it like this.
It was already noon in the local area, and by the way, the altitude angle of the sun was measured. I checked the coordinate data on the sackcloth again, calculated it on the ground with a tree branch, and found that it was more than a hundred kilometers away from the ruined village where I had been lodged.
Novice traversers entering the Metaverse will definitely not be able to run so far under normal circumstances, and the purpose of diverting the attention of those who have a heart has been achieved.
This place is still about 170 kilometers away from Xihai Town, and with his own two legs, I am afraid that he will not be able to run today.
I looked around, found a big tree, climbed it with my hands and feet, and saw that there was a stone wall about four or five kilometers to the west, and there was a village.
Slip down from the tree and walk towards the village, ready to use it as a foothold when you arrive, and report to the Special Investigation Bureau when you get back.
Even if those villages are destroyed, there will be caves, cellars and other places to hide, which is more comfortable than basking in the sun in the wilderness.
After walking for a while, the village was close in front of me, and suddenly I saw a few green smoke rising from it.
Fang Hao couldn't help but be stunned, this was actually a village with people!
After reacting, he quickly squatted down and saw a tree next to him, and leaned over against the trunk.
There are traces of people here, and the blessings and disasters are unpredictable. It's a pity that the bodyguard was used as a car, and his own combat power was greatly reduced, so he could only survive a little at this time.
Looking left and right, there is a river on one side and a small hill on the other, both of which seem to be unsuitable for hiding.
In comparison, it is safer to return the same way, at least there is no one in that direction.
Fang Hao turned around and crawled backwards while paying attention to the situation on the other side of the village. After moving more than ten meters away, I saw seven or eight people coming out from the direction of the river and walking quickly in the direction of the village.
The costumes of those people were different from any Metaverse clothing he had ever seen, and they obviously belonged to the style of the Xuan Realm, and they were a standard training uniform that he was more familiar with.
After discovering the new situation, Fang Hao stopped.
I thought to myself, this place was not far from Xihai Town, and it was completely within its sphere of influence. Could these people be from the Special Investigation Bureau?
He crawled forward again, hiding beside the trunk, intending to observe for a little longer.
In the next twenty minutes or so, two groups of people entered the village one after another, each group of about ten people, one of whom was also riding horses.
At this point, Fang Hao was at least eighty percent sure that they were from the Special Investigation Bureau.
First, because of the uniform style of those people's training uniforms, and second, their demeanor exudes a very unique temperament, which feels very similar to Zhou Wu and Wang Huan.
However, in order to avoid misjudgment, it is necessary to verify it first.
The easiest way to do this is to walk generously towards the village and talk to the people to confirm each other's identities.
If the judgment is wrong, the talent of the derivant will warn, then hurry away.
But if it is expected, this kind of behavior is outrageous in the eyes of those in the Special Investigation Bureau. People will think that Director Wang is a vegetarian meal and did not guide him well.
And he will also be regarded as the opposite of arrogance and stupidity, which will appear in the teaching of newcomers for a long time. If you want to join the Special Investigation Bureau in the future, you will also lose points because of this, and maybe even the treatment will be worse.
Fang Hao first chose the evacuation route, then took out a short knife, cut off a piece of bark on the trunk, and carved a string of 12-digit numbers on the exposed white pole.
This is the identification code given to him by Wang Huan, and if you meet someone from the Special Investigation Bureau, you can confirm his identity information according to this code. At the same time, only someone from the Special Investigation Bureau can correctly interpret the string of numbers.
Then he dug a small hole in the ground on the other side of the trunk, took out a "flash bomb" and put it in.
There are two ways to trigger this thing, it can be slammed on the ground and detonated immediately, or it can be infused with some vitality to detonate for a delay.
Fang Hao was afraid that there would not be enough time to evacuate, so he filled it with vitality, and then took advantage of the cover of grass and trees, and ran in the direction he came.
After leaving about a hundred meters, he stopped and hid behind a bush, gathered his breath and waited for the fruit.
After another seven or eight minutes, just when he almost thought it was a squib, a dazzling blue light came from the place where the pit was dug, which was still very dazzling in the sunlight, and then he heard a roar, and his ears were buzzing.
Unlike the experience of firing the cannon during the Chinese New Year, the light lasted for nearly ten seconds, and the sound was also connected into a long tone of several seconds.
Fang Hao thought to himself, good guy, this Ma Leizi in the Metaverse is really different, and the movement is also very loud, he is worthy of being a guy who can drive away fierce beasts, and the attractive effect is also very good.
In his sight, before the effect of the "flash bomb" was over, seven or eight people rushed out of the village on horseback.
The livestock of the Metaverse are generally stronger than those of the Xuan Realm. Not only were the horses tall, but they were also very fast, surpassing his humanoid by many speeds, and they had to travel at speeds of 100 kilometers per hour.
When the riders reached the bottom of the tree, they soon saw the number carved into the trunk. The two men dismounted to take a closer look, while the others spread out and looked around.
Fang Hao's heart couldn't help but beat faster when he saw this, he found that he had underestimated the other party's situation too much. If the riders searched in all directions, they would be able to reach him in five or six seconds at most, and with his crude and rudimentary way of concealment, they would not be able to escape the sight of the other party.
Fortunately, there was no warning, and the riders did not disperse to search, and soon retreated to the village.
Fang Hao waited patiently for a while, and saw a red light light on the stone wall outside the village. After a few seconds, the red light began to flicker regularly.
“0…… 6…… 1…… 2…… 9……”
Fang Hao followed Wang Huanjiao's codex to convert the information represented by the flashing into numbers, and determined that it was his temporary number, and let out a long sigh of relief.
After transmitting seven digits, the red light light stays on for a few seconds, and then begins to repeat the information before flashing.
Fang Hao stood up from behind the bushes and ran briskly in the direction of the village.
When there were still more than 200 meters away from the village, the red light stopped flashing, and two people wearing training uniforms appeared outside the gate of the village entrance.
When they got closer, the two men took a few steps forward. Fang Hao also slowed down and stopped.
Both of them were twenty-four or five years old, with darker complexions and tall postures, and their spirits were exactly the same as the spiritual guys he had seen in the Special Investigation Bureau compound recently.
The collar badge of their training uniform was embroidered with two horizontal thin bars, and the armband had a pattern of the Big Dipper, as well as the words "The Eleventh Brigade of Xihai Town".
One said, "Please tell me your number." ”
“0612934。” Fang Hao replied. When he listened to the man, he realized that it was a woman.
The woman asked, "Your code name?" ”
Fang Hao replied: "Flowing mountain fire." ”
The woman nodded with a smile and said, "Welcome to the Metaverse." My code name is 'Toad Palace Tree', he is 'River Stream', and we belong to the 11th Brigade of Xihai Town. From now on, you're safe. ”
It is said that the first traversers to obtain the empowerment pass, after entering the metaverse, most of them will adopt pseudonyms out of the need to hide their identities and improve their qualifications.
And it turns out that this does protect the privacy of the traverser to a certain extent. Especially after the emergence of the evil profession of pass dealer, avoiding the exposure of the true information of the Xuan Realm has become a matter of life safety.
Although with the development of science and technology in the Xuanjie, the degree of informatization is getting higher and higher, and the leakage of personal privacy is simply impossible to prevent, but pseudonyms can still play a little role.
Therefore, the use of pseudonyms in the metaverse has gradually become a tradition of the metaverse. The official director of the Special Investigation Bureau has also continued this practice.
