After passing the steel suspension bridge in the west of the city, the car drove out of Satellite City No. 2.
A wide rammed earth cement road extends into several paths, drawing round arcs, leading to the depths of the wilderness.
Driving along the widest road in the middle, you entered a huge road that was smooth and wide even though it took a long time. These are already part of the highway network built thirty years ago and extend to various places.
Although it has been thirty years since the disaster, the roads were severely damaged.
However, the roads around Qinggang City have been repaired by the construction team in the city and basically retain their original appearance.
Only at the road intersection near High Wall City, many temporary roadblocks and high suspension bridges were set up.
This is to prevent attacks from madmen and certain dangers.
Lu Xin grew up in Satellite City No. 2, and this was the first time he really left the city.
He looked out the passenger window and could see a deep, lush green area full of life.
All the plants showed signs of crazy growth.
There is a faint rancid smell in the air, which makes people tense up subconsciously.
The sky was gray.
When looking into the distance, there is a feeling that the light is distorted, and it always feels like things in the distance are somewhat deformed.
It was like they were lying on the ground one by one, looking at the monsters around them in a gloomy manner.
"Haha, come on, let me guess..."
"If it's uncle, aunt, and the cute little sister sitting in the back seat, then I guess they must be sitting like this, right? The uncle is sitting on the left, the aunt is sitting on the right, and the cute little sister must be sitting in the middle at this time, right?"
"How about uncle on the right and aunt on the left?"
"..."
Gecko, who was driving the vehicle, couldn't stop talking after learning that the empty vehicle was actually a bit crowded.
From the time he left the city until now, he has been chatting with his "family" in the car.
The most important thing is that we had a lot of fun talking...
Lu Xin felt a little helpless when he heard it, and reminded softly, "You guessed wrong."
Gecko was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "No way, is my sister sitting on the left? Or on the right?"
"Neither."
Lu Xin answered without raising his head.
Looking from the rearview mirror, I saw Mom smiling and sitting upright in the back seat.
With an elegant smile on her face, when she saw Lu Xin looking at her in the rearview mirror, she laughed softly:
"This young man is quite nice, but he talks a bit too much..."
"Would you consider asking your sister to sew his mouth shut?"
"..."
Lu Xin thought about it and thought it was better to forget it.
Raising his head slightly, he could hear his sister blowing in the wind excitedly on the roof of the car while shouting happily.
My father is not in the car now.
Although this family meeting unanimously approved the decision for the family of four to go out to find those people.
But the grumpy father couldn't bear the boredom and anguish on the road, and according to his temper, if he was in the car, Lu Xin estimated that it would be difficult for the car to be driven intact until he found the Knights, and Gecko, who had been happily chatting with him, could not guarantee that his head could continue to stay on his neck before driving to the destination...
In this car, there are actually only Lu Xin, Mom, my sister, and Gecko.
Of course, Lu Xin did not intend to remind Gecko or explain anything to him in detail.
Gecko can't be seen anyway.
Generally speaking, for people who cannot see their family members, Lu Xin chooses not to tell them about their family members' existence at all.
Lu Xin took the initiative to tell Chen Jing because it involved work.
And I told Gecko because we have to travel together and may have to deal with ability users together, so it would be better to get to know each other better.
As for the problem of Gecko talking too much...
Seeing how nervous he is, let him say what he wants to say...
"City Defense Department doesn't seem to have much useful information from the information provided there."
In order to prevent Gecko from being sewn open, Lu Xin turned over the information in his hand and casually spoke to Gecko.
"Yes yes."
Gecko answered immediately.
After chatting with invisible people for so long along the way, he was already panicking.
At this time, I even felt very happy when I saw an answer that I could hear. He held the steering wheel with one hand and took out a document from the door file box with the other. His expression quickly became serious. "The tracking of the City Defense Department has actually failed."
He placed it in front of him, turned it over twice, and said, "Judging from the preliminary investigation results passed back by agent City Defense Department, those ability users outside the city did not leave directly after escaping from the city. Instead, they went to an abandoned town about ten kilometers south of the city, and stayed on a high-rise building there for a certain period of time, and then started again and fled here overnight."
"It's a pity that there were only two agents who tracked the knights at that time. And they disappeared after investigating the high-rise building where the knights stayed temporarily. Now it has been a whole day without any news, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead."
"The follow-up investigation team could only trace the abandoned town at most, and they are now looking for their bodies."
"..."
Lu Xin nodded and said, "Should we go over and take a look now?"
"Yes."
Gecko nodded. "Go to the place where they stayed before and see if the investigation team has any clues."
Looking in the rearview mirror, Lu Xin noticed that Mom didn't seem to have any objections, so he didn't say anything more.
He just thought about it seriously and said, "They have been running away for a whole day. No one knows how far they can go during this whole day. If we want to catch up with them, we can only maintain an extremely high speed!"
"Hehe..."
Gecko listened to Lu Xin's words, laughed softly, and said, "Brother, I think it's time to show you..."
"How fierce are we Spider-type people when we touch something that can be manipulated..."
"..."
As he spoke, Gecko had already pushed down the gear, and at the same time slowly pressed the accelerator down to the bottom.
An obvious pushing sensation began to appear, and Lu Xin also raised the car windows.
He could see that the scenery outside the window began to regress significantly faster and even became a little blurry.
As a person with Spider-type ability, and driving a Steel Monster with such a high configuration, the ability of Gecko was quickly revealed.
The needle on the instrument panel seemed to be pulled toward a higher number by an invisible hand.
The engine roared like a beast, and there was a numbing feeling that spread deep into the body.
On the road ahead, cracked pavement, weeds sprouting from the ground, and deep potholes all made it very difficult for the car to move.
But under the Gecko's seemingly effortless yet extremely flexible control, the car still remained unusually stable.
The scenery in front of him was approaching him crazily, and then rushing behind him.
At this time, Lu Xin seemed to really feel that this car could fly.
"Whoosh!"
Even when turning into a twisty intersection ahead, Gecko did not slow down, and even increased the speed.
With the cooperation of the steering wheel and the accelerator under the foot, the heavy body made a smooth drift, and then turned into a new intersection accurately and smoothly. It also avoided a hare that was galloping across the path and plunged into the long road.
The only thing he did to respect this road was to glance forward.
Not even two hands on the steering wheel.
Even Lu Xin couldn't help but sigh. Watching Spider-type's people use tools, there is always a strange sense of beauty...
And my sister...
He glanced in the rearview mirror and saw that his sister had been thrown away when she passed the intersection just now and was chasing after her angrily.
Under Gecko's average performance, the car arrived at the abandoned town in less than twenty minutes.
The tall buildings were covered with grass, like huge monsters, with incomplete buildings occasionally exposed.
At first glance, it gives people a panicked, dilapidated and gloomy feeling.
The car did not drive into the town, but stopped at the edge of the town, next to a tall building that was still largely intact.
When the car just stopped, Lu Xin couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Gecko's expression had become very serious. He reached out of the car window and made a gesture.
From the seemingly deserted town, two warrior-looking men in camouflage uniforms quickly ran out.
They all held guns in their arms, and one of them held a document that had just been printed out.
When he arrived at the car window, he saluted and reported in a very simple way, "On the order of the City Defense Department, I am sharing real-time information with you:"
"We arrived here at four o'clock this morning, and by that time we had lost news of the two colleagues. Afterwards, we conducted an investigation on the Beginning here, and we can confirm that the other party had stayed on top of the tall building ahead for more than half an hour."
"Later, after investigating the tire tracks and road conditions around the high-rise building, it was determined that the other party was a group of seven people, with five motorcycles and an off-road vehicle. Judging from the traces, they should have suddenly decided to leave and fled to the south."
"It's just that the surrounding road conditions and terrain are extremely complicated, and we can't determine its exact route now."
"There are no relevant traces of the two colleagues who have disappeared."
"..."
As they were talking, they handed the documents in, which contained not only a more in-depth analysis of the situation he just described, but also photos of the food left by the people upstairs, some cigarette butts, and preserved evidence.
"With just this little thing, I'm afraid it's hard to find someone..."
Gecko thought about it and turned to look at Lu Xin.
Although he had already followed Lu Xin as Deputy Captain to perform this tracking task, he didn't know exactly how to do it.
Of course, the people above may not know what to do.
The agent belonging to the City Defense Department outside the car window was obviously a little confused.
They knew that a special tracking team would come out of the city to meet them and ask for their full assistance.
But they still don't understand. Now that everything that should be investigated has been investigated, there are really few clues left by the other party. Even judging their escape route is not easy. And when it comes to tracking, how can they pursue it in the middle of nowhere?
When the attention of the people around him was focused on himself, Lu Xin silently glanced at Mom in the rearview mirror.
"Go to the left road."
Mom sat elegantly in the back seat with a gentle smile on his face.
She gave directions softly and seemed confident.
Facing the puzzled look cast by Lu Xin in the rearview mirror, the delicate smile on her face remained unchanged and she explained softly:
"Since we are visiting a guest, how can we not even know where the guest is?"
Then, her smile became more charming, "When one of them wanted to see you, I saw him too."
"..."
Lu Xin felt relieved, nodded slightly, and put down the information handed over by the investigation team.
He took out a small notebook hidden in his left breast pocket, slowly turned to a page, and while avoiding Gecko's gaze, he turned to the page marked "Mom", and then wrote on it, "Can you track the people you have seen...?"
Then he put back the notebook, looked at Gecko calmly and said, "Go to the path to the left."
Gecko's eyes are a little strange.
He looked at Lu Xin carefully and said, "Brother, do you know how to track and investigate?"
"I don't understand."
Lu Xin answered honestly, then glanced in the rearview mirror and said softly, "But I have family to help me."
In the back seat, Mom slowly showed a happy expression on his face.
