Just as the middle-aged soldier said, the rugged off-road vehicle slowed down slowly and accurately stopped in front of the three people.
The passenger door opened with a bang, and a quiet-looking girl emerged from inside.
"Uncle Zhang~!"
Sun Jiayi was like a little rabbit, jumping towards the middle-aged soldier, her face full of joy.
But the joy of reunion didn't last long. After the girl got close to Zhang Jike, the smile on her face began to fade quickly, turning into a worry that could almost drip.
"Uncle Zhang! What's wrong with your arm..."
Staring closely at Zhang Jike's bloody right arm, Sun Jiayi's lips trembled.
"It's okay. I just ran into a little danger. It's okay now." Zhang Jike had a relieved smile on his face, obviously not wanting the girl to worry.
"A little danger?! Uncle Zhang, your arms are like this, what's a little danger!" Sun Jiayi obviously didn't believe Zhang Jike's words, and looked behind her angrily, "Old man! Come out!!"
The driver's door opened and a black man got out.
This person was dressed neatly, with a leather jacket and jeans that perfectly matched his serious face. If it weren't for the fact that he was wearing an exaggerated pair of Star-shaped sunglasses may give people the impression of a cold-blooded killer.
Faced with Sun Jiayi's shouting, Hamilton did not pay attention immediately. Instead, he turned his head slightly and looked at the man and woman behind Zhang Jike.
Two red lights flashed behind his sunglasses, and the bionic man frowned.
"What a high Minkowski unit."
Seeing that Hamilton's eyes directly skipped the girl and himself, Zhang Jike was slightly startled, and immediately reacted and started to introduce.
"Old man, these two are the friends I just met, Zhang Heng and Wang Yu. They saved my life..."
"Which timeline is it on?" Hamilton also ignored Zhang Jike's introduction, tilted his head and asked.
Wang Yu and Zhang Heng looked at each other, their expressions becoming more wary.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Heng took a half step forward and asked, "Which timeline are you from?"
As if expecting this question from the Youth Club opposite, Hamilton raised his brows, and an unpredictable smile appeared on his serious face.
"Sorry, I have no comment at the moment."
"Then there's no need for us to treat each other sincerely?"
Wang Yu also took half a step forward and stood up from behind Zhang Heng. While speaking, he intentionally turned his head in his arms.
"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, I'm just asking casually."
To Zhang Jike's expectation, Hamilton, who had always been easy to talk to, had a tough attitude at the moment, and there was a faint smell of gunpowder between the lines.
"...Is it possible that these two groups of people are really hostile?" Thinking to himself, Zhang Jike moved slightly and leaned towards Sun Jiayi.
It's not that he's worried that a fight between the two sides will affect him, but he's mainly worried about hurting an innocent girl.
Seeing that the other party was talking about this, Zhang Heng shrugged indifferently: "Okay, in that case, we will meet again later."
After saying that, he turned around and left. The direction happened to be where Hanlton came from. It seemed that he did not intend to go to the Siming Mountain shelter with them.
Wang Yu took a deep look at Hamilton, then raised her legs to follow Zhang Heng, not forgetting to show a friendly smile to Sun Jiayi.
The latter was frightened by the human head in the woman's arms, and his face, which was not very good-looking at first, became even paler. Seeing the two people leaving, Hamilton took a deep breath and said something silently to their backs.
The content is still the mantra with unclear meaning - the light of original freedom bless you.
But just these words made the leaving young men and women stop in their tracks and turn around in unison.
"Wait a minute, what did you just say?"
Wang Yu had a look of surprise on her face, looking at Hamilton as if she were looking at a hippopotamus that can ride a bicycle.
"He said may the light of freedom bless you!"
Before Hamilton could speak, Zhang Jike answered the woman's question first and at the same time moved his steps to protect Sun Jiayi behind him.
"You can say anything you want, don't be impulsive!"
Zhang Jike's unexpected reaction made the old man, Zhang Heng and others subconsciously stunned. After a breath, they realized that the other party had wrong meaning.
"Lao Zhang is quite interesting..."
As if talking to himself or speaking to Wang Yu, Zhang Heng mumbled something with a half-smile and returned to the front of the group of people.
Looking at Hamilton, Zhang Heng asked: "Congregants of the Holy Religion? Or believers?"
The latter frowned and responded subconsciously, "Only humans can become believers, I am just a believer."
"It seems that we are really one of our own. It was so dangerous. The flood almost washed away the Dragon King Temple..."
Wang Yu raised her eyebrows, smiled, turned around, walked back, and extended her right hand to Hamilton.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Wang Yu, a shapechanger from timeline 659."
"Zhang Heng, timeline 457, boundary breaker."
The young men and women reported their families respectively, and their attitudes in speech were much better than before.
But the expression on Hamilton's face didn't change much. He glanced at Wang Yu's extended right hand and made no movement. He just spoke in a calm tone.
"You have injured your right hand. Don't be deceived by the apparent recovery. You still need to take a good rest."
After saying that, the black man moved and walked straight past Wang Yu and towards where Zhang Heng was standing.
"World Breaker from timeline 457, do you mind if I turn on the 80% calculation rate to do a full scan on you?"
"What?"
A question mark appeared on Zhang Heng's forehead, obviously he didn't understand what Hamilton was talking about.
"We've met before, haven't we?"
Seeing the other party's puzzled expression, Hamilton followed suit.
"We have met before? Are you sure?"
Zhang Heng-457's brows furrowed even more tightly. He tried his best to recall it in his mind, but he couldn't find any memory related to the black man in front of him.
"I have no experience of amnesia..."
After muttering for a while, 457, who couldn't find the answer, decided to tell the truth: "You may have the wrong person, I have never seen you."
When the young man said this, Sun Jiayi quickly came to Hamilton regardless of Zhang Jike's obstruction.
"Yes, old man, we have never met him before. This is the first time we have met."
After finishing speaking, the girl glanced timidly at the head in Wang Yu's arms.
She always felt like she had seen that face somewhere before, but the impression wasn't very deep.
"I had just arrived and didn't meet you." Hamilton patiently answered Sun Jiayi's question.
Seeing that the other party didn't seem like a lie, 457 fell into deep thought.
Before, when he and Wang Yu were still in N City, they met two strange old men, one named Xian Yuqi and the other named Li Baiyi.
Those two men also claimed to have seen him, but it was later proven that they were mistaken.
"It seems that there really is a person who looks exactly like me. Could it be that he is using my name to deceive..."
Silently complaining in his heart, 457 raised his eyes and asked tentatively.
"At that time...what did I say to you?"
Upon hearing this, Hamilton pushed Sun Jiayi behind him and replied expressionlessly: "You said that your identity is the same as mine, that you are both pawns crossing the river. Oh, you also gave me something."
After saying that, the black man reached into his pocket.
Wang Yu and Zhang Heng subconsciously showed guarded expressions on their faces, but after seeing clearly what the other party had taken out, the guarded expressions on their faces turned into confusion at the same time.
"This is……"
After staring at the small bottle of pink potion in Hamilton's hand for a long time, Wang Yu finally couldn't help but ask.
However, the only response she received was three crisp words.
"have no idea."
At the same time as he answered, Hamilton put his hand away and stuffed the potion back into his pocket.
"So, do you mind if I turn on the 80% calculation rate to do a full scan on you?"
"Uh..." 457 pondered again. After a while, he asked a very cheap question.
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt. It's just collecting data and calculating, that's all." A kind smile appeared on Hamilton's lips.
"Then let's just do a scan, but on the main road? Why don't we find a quiet place?"
While speaking, 457 glanced at the woods beside the road intentionally or unintentionally.
Although the weird zombie-level zombie didn't appear again, he still felt a little weird staying here.
】
"Okay, let's go ahead, it's on the way." Hamilton raised his finger and pointed in the direction of the Siming Mountain Shelter.
The young man and woman exchanged glances, and 457 asked: "Siming Mountain Shelter?"
After receiving Hamilton's affirmative answer, the young man thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll also stop by to confirm if that person is staying there honestly. Oh, by the way, I have to get your gun first..."
Seemingly thinking of something important, 457 turned to Wang Yu and reminded him.
“I’ll listen to you, Xiao Hengheng~~~”
Wang Yu's dark red eyes curved into two crescents, and she answered the words with a smile...
The off-road vehicle started again, but this time the number of people on the vehicle changed from the previous two to five.
Fortunately, the car body is spacious, and three people can fit in the back seat.
After Zhang Jike got in the car, he immediately leaned against the window and took a nap, while 457 and Wang Yu, after whispering a few words, cast curious glances at the girl in the passenger seat.
In fact, according to the original thinking, Zhang Heng and Wang Yu should not have too much communication with other people. After all, they are people from different timelines. Asking too much or revealing too much will cause unnecessary butterfly effects. , affecting the ultimate goal.
But I couldn't resist my curiosity and Hamilton's mysterious identity. After much thought, I decided to let 457 speak first.
Of course, the target of this inquiry was not Hamilton who was driving, but the quiet girl in the co-pilot who looked very timid.
After adjusting the expression on his face, 457 tried his best to make himself look harmless, raised a friendly smile on his lips, and slowly said...
