Half a month later, in the Baikal Mountains of the Central Siberian Plateau.
A cold wind blew from the distant snowy mountains.
Under his dog fur hat, Huai Shi raised his head and breathed out hot air.
The bonfire in front of him crackled, and sparks danced in the air. In the clay pot hanging over the fire, the unseasoned mutton soup gurgled.
Huai Shi sighed and took out a paper bag from his pocket. He sprinkled some of the rock salt he had scraped off after running for two kilometers. Then, he skimmed off the foam with a wooden spoon and covered it with a lid before continuing to stew.
Under the piles of rocks that blocked the wind, on the hillside that had a hint of green, dirty sheep were gnawing on the grass with their heads lowered.
The old Shepherd with a walking stick and a fur coat was smoking his own tobacco leaves and talking to Russell. The two of them seemed to be talking and laughing, and burst into laughter from time to time.
The corners of Huai Shi's eyes twitched.
"Is there something wrong with your Celestial genealogy people's brains?"
They either ran to Nara to feed deer, closed their doors to play Genesis, or ran to the wilderness to herd sheep. Each one was wilder than the last.
Especially the old man in front of him. It was said that he hadn't set foot in a city for thirty years.
He took care of all his food, clothing, and shelter himself.
If he hadn't died, it could only be said that the Sublimator's physique was excellent.
Once people started to let go of themselves, they would become all kinds of strange things. It was like a homebody who didn't go out all year round. After a long time, problems would most likely occur.
At first, Huai Shi didn't understand what kind of person would need a helicopter airdrop just to meet him.
When he first saw the old man, he thought he had met a savage and was about to take out his phone to take a picture. But the old man rolled his eyes and glared at him, and the signal disappeared.
His full battery signal instantly disappeared.
Five minutes before he arrived, his phone ran out of battery. An hour later, Huai Shi found that Russell's watch was disintegrating. Two hours later, they didn't have a single modern thing left on them.
Even the bank cards in their wallets had been erased.
Fortunately, he didn't use the half-monthly wish function of the saddle bag. Otherwise, he would have to run naked in the wilderness.
In Huai Shi's opinion, the old man was not an alchemist at all. He was simply an EMP that targeted civilization, a high-tech electronic device killer.
If he was really allowed to take a stroll in the city, who knew how much trouble he would cause.
The most important thing was that although he was a little too biased, he was still a top alchemist. Yet, he still couldn't figure out how the old man did it.
It was as if his very existence was a poison against civilization, a mobile electronic disaster.
Could this be Celestial genealogy's strategic weapon?
Was it to throw him into the enemy's camp?
Just as the soup was about to be cooked, the two of them ended their conversation and walked towards the tent.
He could vaguely see the Shepherd's solemn expression, as well as a hint of relief. "If that's the case, then I have no reason to refuse."
The old man opened his mouth and threw the last bit of the cigarette into his mouth. He chewed on the tobacco and the sparks and asked casually, "Have you been to Katja's place?"
"Uh …" Russell's expression froze. "You asked a good question."
The Shepherd retracted his gaze. "You have to know that as long as the two of you are still alive, you can't avoid this question."
Russell didn't say anything.
Only Huai Shi blinked his eyes curiously.
Who was Katja?
Was she the old man's enemy?
But why did the name sound like a woman? If the Russian Federation had a name, then Katja's full name should be … Catherine?
"Hiss!"
Huai Shi took a deep breath in front of the soup pot and pretended to smell it. His heart was filled with curiosity.
But after that, the two of them didn't talk about this matter anymore.
This made him feel like his heart was being scratched by a hundred claws. He was extremely curious.
After finishing the discussion and drinking the soup, Luo Su patted his butt and left.
On the way down the mountain, Huai Shi asked, "Where are we going next?"
He felt that this trip was full of excitement. It was like going out to catch a Pokémon.
However, after wandering around for so long, from Yingzhou to America, and then taking a big detour to the Russian Federation, even Huai Shi felt a little homesick.
"What's wrong? Tired?" Russell asked.
"I'm fine." Huai Shi looked at the leather jacket and trousers he was wearing. "I just hope you can tell me where we are going next time so that I can change my clothes first."
"Don't worry, Huai Shi."
Russell twirled the lighter in his hand, looking somewhat helpless. "Next, besides a few insignificant problems, there are only two more troublesome areas —"
He paused for a moment and suddenly asked, "Rome and Egypt, which one do you prefer?"
"Uh …"
Huai Shi thought for a moment. "Since you suddenly said that, of course I choose …"
"Of course you choose Egypt, right?"
"…"
Russell looked at him and suddenly became happy. "It's just a joke to liven up the atmosphere. Isn't Miss Fu Yi doing an internship recently? You won't be able to see her in Rome, so what's the hurry?
If you ask me, why don't we go to London and let Miss Ai be a tour guide and enjoy the atmosphere of the Astronomy Society headquarters? Or should we go around the border of the Dark Net and visit the Three Wise Men? Or India? I heard that Miss Luo surpassed her father a few days ago and passed three of the six trials. Aiya, the future is really promising … "
The corners of Huai Shi's eyes twitched wildly.
He didn't want to go anywhere!
The premonition of death kept reminding him that wherever he went, there would be a bloody disaster —
Can't you hope for me a little better?
And just as they were chatting, Russell's smile stiffened.
He stopped in his tracks.
"What's wrong?" Huai Shi asked. "Aren't we going to Egypt? Why aren't we going? "
Russell looked up at the end of the sky and sighed.
"It seems that there's no need."
"Hmm?" Huai Shi was puzzled.
"We were a step too slow." The old bastard shrugged helplessly, tilted his head, lit a cigar, and sighed softly. "Someone has already come to pick us up."
In just a few short seconds, Ye Zichen was stunned.
A pale white color rose from the end of the sky, from the deepest part of the distant mountains, and danced above the vault of heaven. It was like a swirling white chain.
Huai Shi's eyes widened, and he felt his scalp go numb.
It was a storm.
A vortex formed by the storm in the sky.
The terrifying storm swept up countless snowflakes and swooped down from the cold plateau. The scale of the storm was unbelievably huge. However, as it moved forward, it quickly shrank. In the end, it turned into a snow-colored tornado that rolled in the sky like a furious dragon.
It was whistling towards them!
"Wow!"
The shepherd popped his head out from the grass beside him. "It's so fast!"
"Bastard, did you betray me?" Russell questioned.
The shepherd was stunned for a moment, and he was amused.
"What did I betray you with? My phone? Mobile phone? Wireless Internet? Still relying on my loud voice, I stood on top of the mountain and shouted in the direction of Ural, 'Look, Katja, that bastard Russell is here!' "
The old shepherd snorted and spread out his hands. "Please, she is the old godmother of the Russian Federation, Gaia of the storm. Every snowflake here has her name, and every strand of frost is her hair. You have stepped into the territory of the Russian Federation. Do you think you can hide from her eyes? "
Luo Su was furious. "I've already blocked it!"
"I unblocked it. What are you going to do about it?"
The shepherd replied in a bad mood. "Russell, you have to face problems."
At that moment, the storm whistled down from the vault of heaven.
Huai Shi's scalp went numb. In the face of this terrifying disaster that seemed to cover the entire vault of heaven and earth, he subconsciously lowered his head and lay down, preparing to withstand the terrifying impact.
However, the storm brushed past his body from both sides. It was too lazy to pay attention to a character like him who couldn't be taken lightly.
When Huai Shi looked up, he found that Russell had disappeared.
Except for the old bastard, he did not take a single blade of grass or leaf with him.
"Wow, Alice's Adventure in the Discovery!"
Huai Shi was stunned for a long time, and he could not help but sigh. He sincerely hoped that the old bastard could find the Tin Lion and the Scarecrow when he reincarnated in the other world and never come back.
But then, he started to feel numb again.
"What should I do?"
"You probably, maybe, maybe … were left here?" The shepherd was gloating. "He has some old grudges to deal with. Maybe it will be a little troublesome. It's not convenient for you to show up. "
Huai Shi was puzzled. "How troublesome?"
The shepherd thought for a while and said seriously, "It's troublesome to collect debts from your ex-girlfriend."
"…"
Huai Shi was shocked by this huge amount of information, and he shook his head. "Forget it."
But Russell, that old bastard, owed 350 million yuan from eating, drinking, and gambling. Celestial genealogy was not reorganized halfway and he died. Where would he go? Back to Danbo?
"I see that you have nothing to do, why don't you help me herd the sheep?"
The shepherd excitedly proposed. "I see that your mutton soup is very good. Why don't you help me, and I'll teach you the Primordial Curse Technique?"
I have the interest of surviving in the wilderness, why would I come to the Russian Federation!
Before Huai Shi could respond, he heard the howling of the storm in the sky.
The ghastly white tornado came back again.
It was as if he remembered that he forgot to bring the car key. It suddenly came back and swallowed him in an instant.
When the storm dissipated, Huai Shi had disappeared.
Only the shepherd was left standing in the same place, stunned, and looked up at the sky.
"Hey, Katja, you should take me with you. I haven't been out for many years!"
No one responded.
Only the bleating sound of a herd of silly sheep galloping past.
The sky was far away from the highlands.
.
In the storm, Huai Shi didn't feel the dizziness and dizziness that he expected.
It was just like a blur in front of his eyes.
From the mountains, he came to a strange city. In all directions, there were high walls of factories and smoke rising into the sky from countless chimneys.
Cars roared past him, and the bells in the church in front of him rang.
A flock of white pigeons in the square was startled.
Pedestrians holding coffee hurried to and fro.
Huai Shi looked around blankly, still wearing a leather jacket, pants, and a leather hat.
He looked like a bear that broke into the city.
"Where is this?"
"The capital of the Ural Industrial District."
In front of the church, the black-clothed priest who was ordered to wait here replied. "Mr. Huai Shi, welcome to the Russian Federation."
