At the same time.
Shu Han Province.
Li Tai City.
Jiaozhou County.
This small county was over a hundred kilometers away from the bustling city center of Li Tai City. After Irin and Ou Lele walked out of the Earth Net, they quickly opened the map to confirm their location.
Irin quickly found a location on the map that he had downloaded on his phone.
"The destination should be near here."
Ou Lele did not know Irin's destination beforehand. After all, before the operation began, Irin did not say anything. He only had a look of confusion on his face as he desperately said, "Follow me, follow me."
After taking a closer look, Ou Lele was slightly startled. "Ah, here? Wasn't this abandoned a long time ago? "
Irin said with a smile, "It's easier to hide people if it's abandoned. Otherwise, where do you think so many missing people could be hiding in broad daylight? If that 'Daybreak Psychological Consultation Center' is the place where the victims went missing, then they must have a way to secretly transport these people out of the city. "
"If they take the normal route, they have to use a person's ID. Even if they have Cao Anbang as a spy, they can't skip this step. After all, Cao Anbang is just a small police officer, so he can't bypass this step. There are still surveillance devices along the highway. If they take the ground, they can't brazenly take this kind of route. "
"As for the air... it's even more impossible. Now that the air control is so strict, it's almost impossible for a private person to obtain the right to pilot a low-altitude helicopter. If a low-altitude helicopter swaggered over Li Tai City, wouldn't it be telling everyone that there's something wrong with me? "
Ou Lele quickly opened the latest surveillance device and placed it in front of Irin.
"According to what you said, it's impossible to take the water route? After all, if they want to transport a few people by water, they can only go through the canal in Li Tai City. At 9 AM this morning, this five-seater car that didn't have a license plate left the Daybreak Psychological Consultation Center and left the public surveillance area at around 9: 42 AM. It should be this? "
Irin glanced at the image that Ou Lele showed him. He was too lazy to ask when Ou Lele had hacked into Li Tai City's surveillance system. He smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be this car. This car is very low-profile. Even the windows are anti-spying. That's very likely."
With that, Irin looked around and said, "Since they want to avoid everyone's sight, there's only one way to do it without using any teleportation items or abilities. Hehe, moreover, if the other party really has some kind of teleportation ability or item, there's no need for a car. It's superfluous. "
As he spoke, Irin had gone to the side of the road, and was parked neatly beside one of the cars in the compartment.
Ou Lele's expression changed slightly. "It can't be that ridiculous, right? Isn't this just an illegal religion? "
"It's hard to say. But the possibility shouldn't be high. There's no such thing as a hundred percent certainty in this world, right? "
"According to your train of thought, excluding the Ground Net, the national highway, the waterway, and the air … Then, the only way left for them to transport the victims is the 'waste road'?"
A road that was already abandoned was known as a waste road.
"Hehe. Here, it's time for you to make an appearance. "
Irin smiled and patted the car door.
"What?"
"Drive."
"What the f * ck?" Ou Lele opened his mouth wide, and the lollipop in his mouth fell to the ground, breaking into pieces. Ou Lele's expression changed slightly, and he stuttered, "Ah, this?? This, this isn't very good, right? What if we're discovered? Isn't this considered stealing a car? "
"Stealing? Who told you I was going to steal? "Irin shook her head." Just treat it as expropriation. The car's system should have the owner's personal registration information. You can send a message to the owner later, and let him collect the compensation for the car later. Compensate according to the highest market price, and get a new car for free. The owner will be overjoyed. "
"That makes sense." Ou Lele thought about it this way, and there was nothing wrong with it. He stretched out his hand and pressed his small palm against the side of the car door.
Zzz zzz zzz — —
Ou Lele's mushroom hair stood up slightly, as if there was a weak electric current flowing through it.
A few seconds later.
"Welcome back to my car. Please drive safely and do your best to protect yourself, dear!"
"Fasten your seatbelt. Happiness is yours and mine."
The car in front of him started quickly, and a charming female AI voice sounded softly.
Ou Lele: "…"
Irin: "…"
Various cool ambience lights lit up in the car, and as the AI started to operate, the latest flirtatious music played in the car. The car was filled with the smell of flirting and passion.
"The owner has such bad taste."
Irin sighed. "Why did he randomly choose this car?"
"Do you want to exchange?"
"Forget it, I'm in a hurry."
"Okay." Ou Lele took advantage of the fact that he could still connect to the Internet to deal with the follow-up matters of borrowing the car. "Right, what should I say to the owner?"
"Just send Zhao Yulong's phone number and message."
“???”
"Every injustice has its perpetrator, every debt has its debtor."
"This, this is not good."
"Hurry up." Irin narrowed her eyes and looked at Ou Lele with a kind smile.
"Okay, Ou Lele, let's go!"
Ou Lele finished his work at the speed of light.
Twenty minutes later.
Irin drove the borrowed car out of Jiaozhou County.
They were in the suburbs.
It was barren everywhere.
At the end of the road, the car stopped.
Actually, it was not the end.
If they drove forward, there was still a road ahead.
However, a row of metal nets as thick as a finger completely blocked the road ahead.
Ou Lele and Irin were familiar with this scene.
In front of them was the "abandoned road."
Ten years ago, after the Starfall Night, many heavily damaged areas were abandoned due to the difficulty of reconstruction and the fact that they were located in remote areas. The survivors were all settled in the nearby cities.
Or perhaps, the roads that originally led to certain tourist areas and scenic spots had been destroyed, and the existence of the roads had lost its meaning. Thus, they had been abandoned and sealed off.
On that night ten years ago, the world completely changed.
Irin got out of the car.
"It seems to be locked."
Ou Lele walked forward to take a look. It was the oldest mechanical lock, and it was not within his capabilities. Helpless.
An iron gate locked the road ahead.
After studying it for a while, Ou Lele gave up. He raised the heavy lock and asked, "Are you sure they passed through here?"
"Don't forget, Cao Anbang is a police officer from the Litai City Police Department. It is not difficult for him to get the key here."
As Irin spoke, she flicked her right wrist and a short knife appeared out of thin air. Yi Lin focused for a moment, then raised the blade in his hand and cut off the rusty lock with a kacha sound.
Irin looked down and found that although the door was rusty, there were fresh scratches on the ground.
Obviously, they had just passed through here.
She locked the door again and pretended that she had never been here.
"They left early. We took the Earth Net. Although the Earth Net is faster, we are still one step behind."
There were no restrictions on the abandoned road. Irin stepped on the accelerator and sped on the abandoned road.
Because it had not been maintained for a long time, the abandoned road was full of cracks. There were also a lot of yellow leaves, branches, and garbage. But since she was not driving her own car, Irin directly ran over the abandoned road at high speed. She didn't feel too bad about it.
After entering the abandoned road, Ou Lele stopped talking.
His eyes were fixed on the scenery outside the window.
The hills on both sides were lush with trees.
But the abandoned road gave people the illusion that they were driving on the streets of the apocalypse.
— — although Ou Lele had never seen the apocalypse.
However, the scene ten years ago where the sky was filled with flames was not far from the apocalypse in science fiction movies.
"On the night of the falling stars, where were you?"
Ou Lele suddenly asked in a low voice.
"I forgot."
Irin looked forward with an indifferent expression.
"Actually, I don't remember clearly. I was still young at that time … "Ou Lele lowered his head and played with the tablet while saying," I only remember that on that day, a lot of fire fell from the sky. I was playing in the park, and with a bang … the whole city exploded. "
"My parents are also gone. Although I don't even remember what they looked like, every time I see the traces left behind by the falling stars, I can't help but think of that day. Oh, right, this feeling of suddenly losing your parents, you probably can't understand it, right? "
Irin: "…"
Irin actually wanted to say that he also understood it very well.
But after thinking about it.
This was his secret. So he remained silent and focused on driving.
Ou Lele looked up, the gloominess on his face was swept away, and said with a smile,
"Hehe, but it's okay. My parents are very good to me now, except for forcing me to go to school all day long. The content in the textbooks is obviously very stupid. Oh … the Internet here is disconnected. "
As Ou Lele spoke, he suddenly put the tablet into the backpack on his back gloomily.
A tablet that couldn't connect to the Internet was as boring as a beauty on her period.
The car drove for a long time.
The two of them didn't speak anymore.
The atmosphere began to become strange.
From time to time, the scenery on both sides of the abandoned road was left behind by the fallen satellites.
After ten years of wind, rain, and soil, these traces had become less obvious, but they could still faintly tell that … this place had been hit by the debris of a satellite.
After an unknown period of time.
The road in front of them became narrower and more bumpy, and the car became more and more bumpy.
Suddenly.
Irin stopped.
Because the Internet was disconnected, Ou Lele, who was playing with his fingers with his head down, suddenly froze.
"We're, we're here?"
Irin smiled slightly and pointed to the front.
On the side of the abandoned road, there was a new car, the kind that didn't have a license plate.
The four doors on both sides of the car were open, and the car was parked on the side of the road, without even turning off the headlights. The exhaust pipe was still spewing out exhaust gas from time to time, turning into a continuous white mist in the cold air, puffing and puffing.
Irin parked the car about ten meters behind the car, and the two of them quickly got out of the car.
There was no one around, not even the sound of birds or insects. It was eerily quiet.
Ou Lele swallowed his saliva subconsciously. He suddenly regretted joining Irin's pirate ship.
He was not good at fighting and killing, and in the trial, he could only barely protect himself. Now that they were in the wilderness, Ou Lele's ability was not of much use, if something happened … it seemed like no one would come even if he shouted himself hoarse!
The more Ou Lele thought about it, the more regretful he felt. His intestines were faintly throbbing.
Irin silently held his knife and went forward to check.
There was no one in the car.
Irin thought for a moment, and reached out to touch the seat. The soft artificial leather seat was sunken, and there was still some warmth where he touched it.
"They should have just left, we barely caught up."
Irin quickly came to a conclusion.
Ou Lele shrunk his neck and looked around, "But there is not even a road sign, how do we know where they went? There is no way to follow them? "
"Yes, there is no way to follow them, it is very troublesome."
Although Yi Lin said so, his expression was not at all "distressed". Instead, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
A few seconds later.
Yi Lin slapped his head as if he had thought of something. "I suddenly remember. It seems that when Sheng Chunrou was in a delirious state, she seemed to have accidentally said two words."
Ou Lele was stunned. Why did he feel that Irin's expression was strange?
Yi Lin ignored Ou Lele's doubts and said, "That's right.
"Buddha."
