Gao Qi only needed to find a spaceship that could take him away. Even if he could not return to Zhaoxi City, he could at least find a place to hide outside the city.
In the city, he had Huang Fei and Han Ruofeng to take care of him. In the wasteland, he had Professor Su to protect him. Gao Qi only needed to focus on his research. Why should he stay on this strange continent and waste his time with a bunch of Wastelanders who did not speak the same language?
Gao Qi took out the metal box containing his mobile phone. However, before taking it out, Gao Qi wanted to decide who to call in advance.
"Who should I call? John has a spaceship. If I give him some benefits, as long as we don't go to that city, he should be willing to send us. "
After saying that, Gao Qi hesitated for a moment before saying, "But I can't completely trust John. He has to do business with many cities, so there is a possibility that he will betray me. Or I can call Bernhard. As long as I share my findings with him, I think he will be willing to do anything for me."
Anna twirled her finger on her head a few times and said, "Your thoughts are in a mess right now. Are you in a hurry to overturn the plan you just made?"
Gao Qi exhaled and said with an irritated expression, "It's because I underestimated the trouble caused by the language barrier. I don't have the patience to learn English. I want to start my research in a place with the same origin, the same race, and most importantly, the same civilization sphere as me. I don't want to waste my time in a place where the language, skin color, and ideology are completely different."
Anna shrugged and said, "Okay, as long as you don't ask Bernhard for help."
"I'm just analyzing who will help me, but I definitely won't ask Bernhard for help."
At that moment, Niu Lidong suddenly said, "It would be great if we had our own spaceship."
The atmosphere suddenly froze. Niu Lidong looked at Gao Qi, who was in a daze, and whispered, "Brother Qi, you've been asking for this and that all day long. Why don't you plan to get your own spaceship? Didn't they say that some cities don't have city walls but have spaceships? With your ability, you can even snatch one of their spaceships! "
Gao Qi touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "You've overestimated me. I haven't reached the point where I can make an enemy out of an entire city. Most of the spells I've mastered are Basic Magic. I only have two Intermediate Magic Runes. It's still unrealistic to think that I can steal a spaceship from a city. Besides, the most important thing for me now is to figure out what the awakening is all about. I can't just know the how, I need to know the whys."
Right now, Gao Qi only wanted to do pure research. He had no intention or energy to do anything else.
Generally speaking, Gao Qi had no direct enemies, no clear goals, and no clear plans. It would be too much to say that he was just muddling along, but there was no problem in saying that he was just going with the flow.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Gao Qi said impatiently, "It must be Mark. Tell him I don't want to accept any more students."
Anna went to open the door. It was indeed Mark who had knocked. Mark had also brought Brady with him.
"We're leaving. Before we leave, we'll give you some bullets as payment."
Mark quickly pushed Brady in front of him and said with a sincere expression, "Brady is willing to …"
Without giving Mark a chance to finish, Anna shook her head and said, "No need to say anymore. There's no chance. Unfortunately, you missed it."
Looking back at Gao Qi, Anna shrugged and said, "He's not in a good mood, so he's decided to recruit more students. As long as they can speak Chinese. Unfortunately, you don't meet this condition."
Anna didn't need to explain, but since they had been together for a few days and got along well, she said a few more words.
At that moment, panicked shouts were heard from outside.
"Someone's coming! Someone's coming! "
Mark's expression changed drastically. Brady, who was in front of him, also turned around in shock. Anna frowned and said, "What's going on? Who's coming?"
Mark couldn't be bothered to say more. He said anxiously, "I don't know. It could be another village or a bandit group."
Mark pulled the rifle from his back. Brady also took the rifle from his shoulder. The two of them had the same reaction despite their age difference.
Without saying anything else, Mark and Brady quickly ran out. Mark shouted, "Where's the person?"
Anna shrugged and closed the door. She turned to Gao Qi and said, "It seems like someone's coming. Mark looks very nervous."
Gao Qi was already impatient. At this moment, he was even more irritated. But just as he was about to speak, a loud bang broke the silence.
With a loud bang, Gao Qi's ears were instantly filled with a buzzing sound. He couldn't hear anything. He could only see Niu Lidong's mouth opening and closing.
Gao Qi turned his head blankly and saw that the room was in a mess. The living room was in a mess, and the wall between the living room and his bedroom was already twisted and crumbling.
The buzzing in his ears quickly subsided. Gao Qi saw Niu Lidong's head begin to bleed. Then, Niu Lidong opened his mouth wide and shouted something at him.
Anna fell to the ground, but she struggled to get up. Blood began to flow from her forehead.
"Go!"
Gao Qi finally vaguely heard Niu Lidong's shouts. At this time, he shook his head to make himself hear more clearly. Then he tried to help Anna.
Anna sat on the ground. She supported herself with one hand and reached out to wipe her face blankly.
Gao Qi took a step forward. He felt pain in his leg. As he reached out to Anna, he looked down and saw a long wooden thorn in his thigh.
There was no doubt that they were attacked, but who did this? Mark shouldn't have such guts.
Anna stared blankly at her right hand covered in blood. Then her expression suddenly changed from confusion to fear, and then from fear to anger.
"Go!"
This time, it was Mark who shouted. He knocked open the door and staggered in. Then he shouted at Anna, who was still on the ground, "We were attacked by a gang. They have a lot of people and rockets. Get out of here!"
Gao Qi didn't understand what Mark was saying, but he heard gunshots.
Anna finally stood up. Her hair began to change color, from black to dazzling red.
Mark waved his hand anxiously again and shouted, "Damn it, get out of here!"
Mark didn't want to waste time. He just wanted to inform Gao Qi that it wasn't them, so after shouting twice, he immediately ran out with his gun.
Gao Qi looked at Anna with concern and asked, "Are you okay?"
Anna put down her bloody right hand and said in a daze, "Mark said we were attacked by a gang. Oh, damn it, I'm bleeding …"
Niu Lidong grabbed Gao Qi with one hand and pushed Anna with the other. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Let's talk outside. Move!"
Gao Qi reached out and grabbed the two-foot-long wooden thorn. He gritted his teeth and pulled it out of his leg. Then, he roared in anger and pain, "Let's talk outside. Take your weapons and kill them!"
