On the Way
It was already May, and they were about to enter the hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean. Braving the hurricane to explore the ocean was fatal and reckless, which was why the exploration plan was set to begin in October. Xia Fei could also use this time to conduct a comprehensive cultivation, and the location of his cultivation was set to be near the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
There were very few people in the Grand Canyon, and the terrain was peculiar. Ordinary vehicles couldn't travel in this place. If one wanted to enter the Grand Canyon, they would first need to buy a suitable car.
Blockbuster Auto, the largest auto sales center in New York.
Thousands of cars of all kinds were parked in the spacious open space, ranging from super sports cars worth millions of dollars to small family cars worth 20,000 federal dollars.
As soon as they arrived, a young man wearing a Yankees baseball cap walked over with a smile. Baseball was the number one sport in the United States, and there were many fans. This person was obviously a baseball enthusiast.
"What can I do for you, sir?" the young man asked warmly.
"I want an off-road vehicle. It has to be big, and its off-road performance has to be strong. It's best if it's modified." Xia Fei said. This time, he would need to bring several months worth of food and plenty of medicinal ingredients, so a small off-road vehicle would not fit the requirements.
"What a coincidence. We just happen to have a modified Hummer H2 on sale. It's over there. How about I take you there to have a look?"
Xia Fei shook his head. The H2 is too small. Do you have a Ford F650?
The young man was stunned. "Of course. Please follow me. However, the Ford F650 is the original version. It hasn't been modified yet."
North America was vast and sparsely populated. The cowboy spirit was prevalent, so pickup trucks with powerful off-road performance were very popular. It was said that out of every 100 cars in North America, 50 were pickup trucks. It was enough to show how much North Americans loved pickup trucks.
From afar, he saw a tall white pickup truck parked there. Beside it was a Hummer H2. The two cars were completely disproportionate in size. The Hummer H2 was already big enough. In China, driving this car was often worried because there was no place to park it.
But this Ford F650 was bigger than two Hummer H2s put together. To get to the cockpit, one had to climb a stainless steel ladder. Even a basketball player had to look up at the existence of this car.
This was only possible in North America. No other place would produce such a crazy off-road vehicle. Even if it was produced, it would be difficult to sell.
Xia Fei patted the body of the car, and the thick steel plate made a dull sound, giving off a very trustworthy feeling.
"This car is equipped with a 6.7-liter 300-horsepower Cummins diesel engine. It can climb up to a 45-degree angle and has excellent off-road performance. It can carry four tons of cargo and speed on the Gobi Desert," the salesman introduced.
"This is the one, but you still need to add two auxiliary fuel tanks. The chassis also needs to be reinforced with protective steel plates. Add a roll cage above the cargo compartment, change the tires to self-inflating off-road tires, and adjust the suspension system to be air suspension, the kind that can be adjusted in a large range. Add four night lights to the roof, remove the back seats, and put in a travel safe."
The salesman quickly noted down Xia Fei's request in the manual. He couldn't contain his excitement. This car's price was as high as 950,000 federal dollars, and with the modifications that Xia Fei wanted, he would be able to get a commission of over 10,000 federal dollars if the deal was struck, which was almost a month's salary.
"Add some dazzling lights in front of the car and change the sound system to a super heavy subwoofer. You will definitely attract a lot of beauties when you drive this car on the streets," the salesman suggested.
Xia Fei knitted his brows. "I am buying this car because it is useful to me, not to pick up girls. Just do as I say. I don't need any of those flashy things."
Two days later, a fully loaded Ford F650 stepped on the highway to Arizona.
An inconspicuous black car followed behind it, and in the car sat an Asian man wearing glasses and a scantily clad woman.
"Madman, why do you think Viper sent the two of us on this trip? Everyone knows that we don't like each other. What if I can't help but kill you? " This fox-like woman chuckled and asked. That fishy smell could be smelled from 80 miles away.
The Asian man driving didn't say anything and used his hand to push up his glasses.
"Wu Long is a strength-type ability user with an Intermediate Star Light cultivation. He has combat experience and isn't considered weak. However, he isn't smart enough and is impulsive. It will be easy for you to take him down. Xia Fei is a speed-type ability user and is only at the Primary Star Light cultivation. In terms of speed, he isn't a match for me. Thus, it is most suitable for the two of us to take action. " Madman explained in an orderly manner. It was really hard to tell why such a clear-headed person would have the nickname of Madman.
"Only the two of you? What about that old man, Andre? His house is like a bunker, and it will be hard for the two of us to kill him. "Wild Rose asked.
Madman chuckled. No matter how one looked at him, he looked like a normal middle-aged man. Furthermore, he was the type that would obediently squat in an office. On the contrary, when he smiled, there would be a trace of viciousness.
"You still don't understand." Madman said, "Viper doesn't want Andre to die. If he really wanted to kill Andre, he would have sent a ninja or a black cat instead of us."
"Why? This time, Black Rhino is determined to take the heads of the three of them. If we don't kill Andre, Black Rhino will definitely find trouble with Viper. "Wild Rose didn't understand.
Under normal circumstances, a woman's chest size and brain capacity were inversely proportional. Wild Rose was a typical example.
Madman glanced at Wild Rose's bulging chest and shook his head, "Woman."
Wild Rose's expression turned cold. She took out a pack of female cigarettes from her bag and lit it up. She spoke in a mild tone, "Madman, this old lady here hates your self-righteous attitude the most. There will be a day when I will kill you."
"Do you know why Viper sent us out for this mission even though we don't see eye to eye?"
"Why?"
"Because you can't kill me."
There was a moment of silence in the carriage. Wild Rose placed her legs on the windshield and laid down her seat comfortably.
Her skirt was facing the window, which attracted a frivolous whistle from the driver.
"Don't think that this old lady here doesn't know anything. Viper isn't a good person either. His thoughts are all on that mysterious ancient city under the sea, which is why he doesn't want to kill Andre. I am sleepy. Call me when it's time to make a move. Wild Rose closed her eyes and muttered to herself, "This old lady here won't be able to escape from anyone I want to kill. You are no exception."
Madman knitted his brows. "Why aren't you wearing underwear?"
Xia Fei glanced at the rearview mirror. That black car was still following behind them, purposely maintaining a distance of more than a dozen cars, neither leaving nor getting closer.
"Phantom, we might be targeted." Xia Fei said.
