Xia Chong got into the jeep with an expressionless face, adjusted the seat forward, then turned on the ignition and started it.
Driving out along the gravel path.
It was only then that Lu Xin discovered that the place where the Central City team settled was actually a very large and luxuriously decorated manor. I couldn't help but sigh slightly, Central City is amazing, and they chose such a good place for their temporary stay.
Qinggang is different. Even now, I am still staying in a hotel...
The car drove all the way out of the manor, then passed through the streets and alleys of Black Marsh City, and drove straight out at a steel suspension bridge leading to the south. Along the rammed earth road between the swamps on both sides, the speed became faster and faster, and the car lights were swung far away like a sharp sword.
Xia Chong is a man of few words, and so is Lu Xin.
So the two of them drove together, and the atmosphere was extremely silent, which was far less interesting than when Gecko was driving.
After driving for about two hours, they passed an abandoned small village. Xia Chong checked the map, then turned directly in and drove forward slowly along the rugged road, scanning both sides of the road carefully.
Lu Xin finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked softly, "Are you looking for something?"
"I'm looking for a complete door."
Xia Chong said, "If you find such a door, I can take you through the abyss to the blocking point we set, and use this door as the center point to shuttle back and forth. However, with my current endurance, the most I can do is shuttle from here to the blocking point, but after arriving at the blocking point, it will be easier if I shuttle to the Hongni Town encirclement."
"Of course, within a short period of time, you can only shuttle once, otherwise the pressure will be too great."
"..."
"Oh."
Lu Xin then understood and asked curiously, "Do you only have a complete door to display your abilities?"
"No."
Xia Chong said, "A broken door is okay, but I just like a complete door."
"..."
Lu Xin suddenly didn't know what to say.
This reason is actually very powerful. The incomplete door is uncomfortable to move through, so what can be done?
Fortunately, wherever humans gather, there are not many other things, but there must be many doors.
Even though the town had obviously been abandoned for many years, after they drove a hundred or ten meters, they still found a door that was covered with dust and dead grass, but was still relatively intact. Xia Chong parked the jeep on the side of the road, opened the door and got out.
Lu Xin followed her forward and suddenly remembered something and said:
"If you wait and rush to Hongni Town directly from the interception point, what will happen to this car?"
"..."
Xia Chong gave him a strange look and said, "I'll pick it up later, or just throw it away. What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Lu Xin felt that his momentum was invisibly lowered, so he shook his head and stopped talking.
Xia Chong was indeed satisfied with that door, but it had not been opened for too long, and the door had been blocked by mud, sand, and rust.
Xia Chong pushed twice but didn't push away, so he took a few steps back, lifted up his skirt, took a few steps to run, and then stepped forward with a flying kick.
With a bang, the door was kicked open, and a group of bats flew out of it.
Lu Xin stepped back slightly and stood behind Xia Chong.
Xia Chong watched the bat fly past him with a blank expression, without even blinking.
After the bats flew out, she stepped forward to check it, nodded with satisfaction, closed the door again, and stretched out her hand to Lu Xin.
Lu Xin reacted for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her hand.
This is business.
Xia Chong took a low breath, opened the door again, and pulled Lu Xin into the abyss.
Entering the abyss of such a deserted town, it feels like a different feeling. It just feels extremely empty and huge. The dark red soil on the ground, even the number of skinny palms growing on the ground, is much smaller, like a depressing desert.
But Xia Chong and Lu Xin had no time to pay attention to this. They held hands and quickly shuttled through this dark red desert.
In the wilderness, although there were fewer skinny palms, they were very fierce, and they opened their sharp claws to grab at Xia Chong.
Lu Xin saw Xia Chong's legs scratched by countless sharp nails, dripping with blood.
He couldn't stand it anymore, so when they passed through a thorn bush made of skinny hands again, he deliberately raised his foot and stepped on it hard. Suddenly, the palm seemed to feel something terrifying and twitched violently.
It even made a strange "squeaking" cry, and then hurriedly shrank into the desert, trembling non-stop.
"Huh?"
Xia Chong was a little surprised when he saw this scene, and turned to look at Lu Xin.
But being in the abyss, she still didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she pulled Lu Xin and speeded up again.
The Abyss is a strange world. Although it corresponds to the real world, its composition and proportions are greatly distorted.
Therefore, users with abilities like Xia Chong can use this kind of distortion to achieve rapid shuttle within a certain distance.
However, long distances in the real world will also be reflected in the abyss to a certain extent.
Because their road was far this time, their travel time was also very long.
Lu Xin felt that they had been traveling in the abyss for about five minutes before Xia Chong slowed down slightly. Under the guidance of an honest worm on her arm, she walked towards a black ring, which was a door.
With another flying kick, he kicked the door open, pulled Lu Xin and rushed over.
"Huh..."
The door closed behind him, and it was pitch black in front of him. Lu Xin could hear Xia Chong's violent breathing.
It can be seen that these five minutes of traveling in the abyss seemed to be reaching the limit for her.
"Are you okay?"
Lu Xin hurriedly reached out to find Xia Chong and asked with concern.
"Don't pinch my nose."
Xia Chong in the darkness reminded him, and Lu Xin quickly retracted his hand.
Just now I touched a round and plump face, and I realized it was Xia Chong's face. I went down and grabbed her arm.
After helping her up, she groped in her bag and found a lighter.
Grinding the gears caused a small flame to pop up.
But they saw that they were in a chaotic space, with overturned shelves everywhere, covered with cobwebs and dust, as if they were in an abandoned warehouse, with sealed spaces everywhere, and they didn't even know how to find a way out from here.
"Come with me."
Xia Chong whispered, "I looked at the road when I came out."
The abyss is compared with reality. Although it is distorted and exaggerated, we can also see a little bit of reality clearly from the abyss.
However, this requires an experienced abyssal user like Xia Chong to do this.
Lu Xin naturally followed the good example and followed Xia Chong honestly, lighting the road next to her with a fire.
The two walked a few steps, turned a corner, climbed out of a broken window, and saw the sky full of stars.
I saw that they were now at the edge of a desolate town, with collapsed buildings and trees growing in gaps everywhere.
Because no one had cut down and repaired them, these trees had spent thirty years growing into evil shapes. Fortunately, it was still winter and the branches were sparse, so you could see the sparse starry sky and the round Crimson Moon, sitting heavily on the ruins.
They climbed over several rows of collapsed and broken walls and looked into the distance with the light of Crimson Moon.
In the dark red wilderness, there was silence, and the world was as quiet as if it had died.
"Judging from the route, the Mental Monster should be coming right in front of us."
Xia Chong took a breath, then gradually recovered, and said to Lu Xin:
"For us, the most important thing is to force the monster to return the way it came."
"Whether it breaks through directly or goes around from another direction, it means our mission has failed."
"So, I will summon Abyssal Creatures, who I have newly signed a contract with, to help you guard both directions."
"..."
"This..."
Lu Xin After hearing her plan, he thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile, "No need."
Xia Chong suddenly looked at him in confusion.
Lu Xin thought for a while and explained with a smile, "You came to me because that monster is afraid of me. I can roughly guess why it is afraid of me. Therefore, if I want to force this monster to go back the same way, I have to return to the state it was in when it was afraid of me."
"Work hard, I can do it."
"But when I get into that state, I have less self-control."
As he said that, he looked at Xia Chong calmly and said, "If you stay with me, you will be in danger."
"It's dangerous..."
Xia Chong frowned slightly and looked at Lu Xin, but only saw his calm expression.
She made quick calculations in her mind, and then looked up at Lu Xin hesitantly. "Can you really do it alone?"
Lu Xin heard this, smiled and shook his head, saying, "Don't worry."
I am not alone.
But he didn't go into details, fearing that he would scare Xia Chong in the middle of the night.
Seeing that he was smiling confidently, Xia Chong quickly made a decision. "In this case, I will go back and help them."
Just do it, Xia Chong didn't waste any time, turned around and left.
After taking a few steps, he suddenly turned to look at Lu Xin and said, "Solo Soldier Captain, I know you are very strong, but you must be careful here by yourself, otherwise that woman in Qinggang who is as thin as a bamboo pole will definitely cause trouble for me."
"Bamboo pole?"
Lu Xin reacted and realized that she was talking about Han Bing, so he could only smile and said, "I know."
In fact, Han Bing is not a bamboo pole. He is taller and naturally looks thinner, but in fact he has everything he should have.
Xia Chong continued to walk forward, looking for a complete door to leave.
Seeing that her figure was about to disappear into the ruins, Lu Xin suddenly remembered something and shouted, "Wait..."
Xia Chong turned around quickly and looked at Lu Xin curiously.
Lu Xin hesitated for a moment, but finally said it, "The two million you mentioned before, should you transfer it to a card or in cash?"
"Huh..."
Xia Chong exhaled softly and said seriously, "Transfer card, no matter whether the arrest mission is successful or not, transfer it immediately after returning to Central City."
"Okay."
Lu Xin was very grateful and showed a bright smile to Xia Chong.
