Chapter 264 Don’t Look at Me as Just a Sheep

It is of course very dangerous for someone who does not know the wilderness to leave the high-walled city alone.

But Lu Xin thought that he had already had the experience of leaving the city once, so it should not be too dangerous.

The first time he left the city, the impression left by the outside world was not bad. Although the Black Water Town did seem a bit chaotic, the snake master in the town was very reasonable and warm. He not only cooperated with his work, but also gave him a lot of local specialties before leaving.

Even if it was Happy Town...

...Forget about this, places like Happy Town should be avoided if possible.

...

"Glasses."

Riding on a motorcycle, he drove out of the steel suspension bridge.

Lu Xin looked at the road ahead that twisted and turned towards the unknown, and whispered a few words: "Map."

A bunch of data popped up on the left lens of the glasses, then gathered in the center, and finally intersected into countless lines and squares.

This is a huge map that almost covers the entire northern land.

The map first kept shrinking, and then formed an arrow, starting with Qinggang City and ending at the central city.

It automatically began to zoom in again, becoming a 1:100 ratio, with clear green lines extending forward, indicating the road.

"Really advanced..."

Lu Xin muttered, and then started the car.

The last time he went out of the city with Gecko, he still used the military map of Qinggang.

But this time, with this pair of "gazing" glasses, it was more worry-free.

Han Bing helped him make the data, and finally entered it into the system of the glasses, which could be called in time.

According to Han Bing, this data can not only help him plan the best route, but also mark the gathering points and abandoned cities that he will pass along the way, as well as the danger level of these cities or gathering points, so that he can avoid them or replenish supplies in time.

For people walking in the wilderness, this is a very important thing...

...Because if you run out of gas halfway, you will need to push the car for a long time.

Of course, Lu Xin prepared a paper map in case his glasses were lost.

In addition to the map, Han Bing also told Lu Xin that as his information liaison specialist, she would always keep her phone with her. Whenever and wherever Lu Xin encountered a problem, he could call her and ask for information support.

It was quite touching to think about it.

…

"Huh..."

In a conference room in the main city of Qinggang City, Professor Bai watched Lu Xin disappear at the end of the road through the display screen.

He took off his glasses, rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "How do you feel now?"

Mr. Su's voice rang on the phone: "I really want to know what he is going to do, but I don't want to know what he is going to do."

"Beep..."

That was the sound of Minister Shen hanging up the phone.

Professor Bai smiled and put on his glasses, saying: "Is Old Shen in a hurry to board the warship? He didn't even say a word..."

"He may just not like this kind of uncertain outcome and completely powerless thing, but you still have to ask him."

Mr. Su smiled and said: "The first team to the Sea Country has sent back the news. Do you know the result?"

Professor Bai nodded and said: "Is it different from what you thought?"

"More than different?"

In the channel, Mr. Su sighed and said:

"We thought it would be a war, but when the first team arrived at the Sea Country, they found that the other side was not prepared to resist at all."

"Their situation can no longer be delayed."

"After the first team revealed their identities, the first thing they did was to take out the wanted orders of Mr. Ye and the ability user, draw a clear line with them, and strongly express their desire to join our Qinggang..."

"I realized that the old man was really cruel to himself."

"..."

These things seemed unexpected, but Professor Bai did not show any surprise. He said, "So, if the old captain succeeds, the Sea Kingdom will formally invade and take over Qinggang. If the old captain fails, they will immediately surrender and join Qinggang?"

"This old captain is really using his life to seek the last ray of hope for the Sea Kingdom..."

"But, don't they worry that Qinggang will hate it and launch crazy revenge on the civilians of the Sea Kingdom?"

"..."

"They thought it through very carefully, and the news from all sides has been passed on long ago."

"If Qinggang really did this, it would suffer a greater reputation loss than this attack..."

Mr. Su said calmly: "In addition, even if Qinggang does hate them in their hearts, we really can't do it to a group of women, children, the elderly and the weak who don't even have guns in their hands. The old captain should have understood this point and decided to give it a try."

"Is this considered bullying us to be reasonable?"

"..."

"Only women, children, the elderly and the weak are left?"

Professor Bai pushed his glasses and caught the point.

Mr. Su sighed softly in the channel and said, "Yes, the rest, I think they are no longer considered human..."

"Is this the curse that the old captain said?"

Mr. Su quickly thought of the key and sighed softly.

Then a smile slowly appeared on his face: "The old captain is very generous, giving us so many research materials at once..."

"..."

"Don't look at me as just a sheep..."

"The cruelty of sheep is unimaginable..."

While singing quietly, Lu Xin drove the motorcycle on the path.

He was learning from the gecko, singing to kill boredom on the road.

But he felt that he didn't sing as passionately as the gecko, and he didn't remember the lyrics very clearly.

Last time he went out of the city with the gecko, his mother and sister sat in the back seat, so that everyone could talk and chat together and watch his sister being thrown out, but this time, neither his mother nor his sister accompanied him on the road.

Maybe it was because the motorcycle was already fully loaded. There was a box of items on the back seat, and a mechanical dog and a weapon box were hung on both sides. If my mother wanted to ride, she could only sit cross-legged on the back seat.

She obviously disliked this inelegant sitting posture.

As for my sister, she could originally sit on the handlebars, but she seemed to be not sticking to me recently because she had a new toy.

So, the family agreed to go to visit relatives, but in the end, I was the only one left riding a small motorcycle to hurry.

Now he was walking on a road that a transport team often took. Because there were too many vehicles passing by and the maintenance was not up to date, the road was cracked and bumpy. When the car drove fast, it would raise a piece of soil, covering his silver-colored inspection bar with a layer of dust. There were lush weeds and rows of tall trees on both sides of the road, but it was so quiet that only the sound of his motorcycle engine could be heard.

…

1,400 kilometers …

This is the distance from Qinggang to the central city shown on the map.

In the plan Han Bing had made for me before, she suggested that I run no more than 400 kilometers a day and then find a place to rest.

When traveling in the wilderness, you can't be too impatient, otherwise something bad will happen.

According to this calculation, it will take me about four days to get to the central city, which is not bad after a sudden calculation.

As for what to do after arriving at the Central City, Lu Xin had not thought about it yet.

He only had the address of the man named Chen Xun on hand, and this address was the old address when the "stalker" found him before. Now it must be deserted, but Lu Xin believed that he could find him.

As for the Central City, as the center of the twelve high-walled city alliances, the location of the Lunar Eclipse Research Institute is also the center of the current high-walled city alliance and one of the most prosperous high-walled cities. Lu Xin felt that the people there must be very reasonable. Although he ran there alone to find someone, there might be many people who are willing to help him and provide him with convenience.

…

At noon, Lu Xin stopped in an open place, patrolled the surroundings, and after confirming that there was no danger, he picked up some dry firewood, lit it with a lighter, put a portable small aluminum pot on the fire, and cooked a pot of instant noodles for himself.

A large piece of canned beef was dug into it.

After eating, he drank some water, filled the fire with soil, packed up the utensils, and continued on his way.

Although it was his first time out of the city, he still remembered the precautions that Gecko taught him when he went out of the city last time, and he followed them very seriously.

At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Xin began to search for a place to spend the night on the map.

It is said that after the red moon rises, some mysterious things often appear in the wilderness, causing people to encounter incomprehensible dangers.

Therefore, people traveling in the wilderness should find a good place to camp before the red moon rises.

Although Lu Xin felt that this statement was not in line with scientific theorems, he still followed this principle of traveling in the wilderness.

Besides, finding a place to rest in advance when traveling at four or five o'clock was a plan made by Han Bing for himself.

There is also a scientific basis for this plan.

He does not need to rest, and the motorcycle also needs to rest...

...

His motorcycle tank has been modified. After being filled with oil, it is about ten liters, which can support him to run about 300 kilometers. In addition, he brought a 15-liter oil drum, which could support him to run more than 700 kilometers.

Theoretically, Lu Xin only needed to find a place to refuel once during the journey.

But there was another problem that could not be ignored, water.

The weight of motorcycle and bicycle travel was carefully calculated, so he only brought three one-liter bottles of bottled water.

He used up most of the noodles at noon, ate too much canned beef, and was a little thirsty, so he simply drank it all.

The remaining two bottles of water were definitely not enough, and he had to find a place to replenish them.

He didn't see any water sources along the way, and even if he found one, it would be troublesome to filter it.

Therefore, finding a gathering point, resting and replenishing water is the best choice.

...

"Glasses, show the surrounding gathering points..."

As Lu Xin's voice fell, the picture on the glasses began to change.

Soon, two or three different points were displayed, some flashing red, some flashing green, and some black.

This represents different levels of danger. The flashing red light must be occupied by armed forces.

If there is no fully armed team ready to open fire and reduce personnel at any time, don't even think about going in the black spot.

Lu Xin was going to visit relatives, not to fight, so he directly chose the flashing green light.

It is about 30 kilometers away from here, and he can arrive before nightfall.

...

Beep beep beep...

The motorcycle made a monotonous roar, and Lu Xin directly found a small road and turned off the main road.

The road to this gathering point was unexpectedly difficult to walk, full of potholes and gravel. If his motorcycle was not developed by the Special Cleanup Department and used anti-nail tires, Lu Xin would be worried that the sharp stones on the road would cause him to burst the tire.

There was a section of the road in the middle, and he even drove directly into the dry riverbed, and then pushed the car up.

Even if he walked on a normal trail, he passed through several dark forests.

The most abundant thing in the wilderness is this kind of forest. After thirty years of crazy growth, every abandoned village has become like this.

Dark, strange, heavy, I don't know what is lurking inside.

But almost all the paths either pass through here or pass through these places.

However, Lu Xin was lucky enough to arrive near the gathering point at the last moment before nightfall.

…

From a distance, it was found that it was a small village nestled at the bottom of the mountain.

The cultivated farmland around it showed that there were indeed people living here, but from a distance, there was no light, only tall and dense trees covering everything, just like the dark villages and forests he encountered along the way, no difference.

"The greening is really good..."

Lu Xin sighed, then drove the motorcycle in with a beep, and came to the dark and quiet village road.

"Is anyone there?"

He stopped the car, kicked the ground, and shouted to the dark houses on both sides: "I'm here to stay."

It was quiet all around.

Only the red moon above was shining on this quiet little village.

The trees around were densely grown, and under the red moon, they seemed to be baring their teeth and claws.

"Squeak..."

In the darkness, there was a sudden scream, heart-wrenching and piercing the eardrums.

Lu Xin turned around and saw his sister appear on the roof of a dilapidated house next to him.

She held the screaming chicken expressionlessly, and there was a skinless puppy beside her.

The screaming chicken seemed to have been torn apart and sewn together again, with dense stitches on it, and it was obviously a little dislocated and twisted.

Logically, it should not scream again after being sewn again.

But my sister not only cried, but also cried more miserably, making people feel like crying...

My sister pinched the screaming chicken with an indifferent face, looked at the room below, and curled her lips.

...

"My sister is my sister, and she knows to come to me at the critical moment..."

Lu Xin was sure that there was someone in this room, so he shouted directly in that direction: "Is anyone there?"

"Don't be afraid, fellow villagers, I came from Qinggang, I will stay for one night, and I will leave tomorrow."

"..."

"Shua" "Shua"

At this time, there were rustling sounds on both sides of the road.

There were hunched people who appeared from the darkness. At a glance, there were at least dozens of them, all looking at Lu Xin silently.

They looked very strange, and their eyes seemed to glow faintly in the darkness.

"Sure enough, there are people..."

Lu Xin's mood became better, and so many people came to greet him together, and they were quite enthusiastic.
