Xu Cheng suspected that in addition to the bad habit of picking up secret codes, the dog manager also awakened another special hobby of bickering and talking nonsense with him.
This guy just relies on his lack of entity, otherwise Xu Cheng will definitely give it a long memory for his two favorite big mouths.
Giving up asking this unreliable guy, Xu Cheng entered Thunder Flame Mode, flew high into the sky, and chose a direction at will.
After flying dozens of kilometers, the heavy snow gradually stopped. Through electromagnetic induction, he finally found a road that he could barely see clearly. There were a lot of muddy tracks on the road.
Xu Cheng observed for a while and judged that not long after the vehicle passed by, these car marks were not covered by heavy snow.
He identified the direction in which the vehicle was heading, and then chased it in the air. Ten minutes later, he captured a convoy advancing in the snow.
This convoy is composed of more than a dozen modified heavy-duty trucks. Not only are armors installed all around, but machine guns are also mounted on the roof. There are many shooting holes on both sides of the carriage. It is an armed convoy.
Xu Cheng flew to the front of the convoy and landed, then stood by the roadside and waited, preparing to pretend to be an ordinary person and ask how to get to Kharkov.
Soon seeing the oncoming motorcade, Xu Cheng raised his hand and waved, but the motorcade passed right by him with no intention of stopping.
Everyone in the cab stared at him with vigilant eyes.
Xu Cheng realized that he was wrong. He should be replaced by a young man with ability cards, so that it would be less likely to arouse others' vigilance. And with his cold killer appearance, others would definitely have doubts. A man suddenly appeared in the wild in the wind and snow. It would be strange for someone of unknown origin to stop the car.
The motorcade quickly ran in front of Xu Cheng, and just when he was about to ask in another way, the last car in the motorcade suddenly stopped.
The door of the carriage opened and a man jumped out. He ran towards Xu Cheng and stopped six or seven meters away. There were several gunmen in the carriage staring at this place, ready to fire at any time.
The person in front of him was wearing a bloated coat and a scarf around his face, revealing only a pair of feminine eyes. The female voice that sounded under the scarf also proved her gender.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
It was in Russian, but Xu Cheng couldn't understand it, so he could only point to his ears.
The woman immediately changed to English and asked again.
"I'm a traveler."
Xu Cheng also answered in English: "I would like to ask which way to go to Kharkov. I can pay you."
Xu Cheng's answer made the woman slightly stunned. She said, "It's a long way from Kharkov. It takes several days to drive. Especially in this weather, how are you going to get there alone?"
Xu Cheng smiled: "You just need to tell me the exact location, and I will find a way to get there."
The woman didn't know what to say for a moment. She thought for a moment and said, "Our convoy is heading to Kharkov. You can carry our convoy for a small fee."
Xu Cheng suddenly became wary. If he invited him into the car so kindly, could it be a fairy dance?
However, he couldn't see that the kind-hearted woman in front of him was acting. The mission required that he meet up with the expedition group within five days, which was plenty of time.
Xu Cheng thought for a while and agreed. He could use this time to understand the current situation in Eastern Europe.
It is said that the goddess of winter has arrived in Eastern Europe. If it really becomes the territory of the old gods, then he has to be careful.
"Come with me, don't worry, we are a serious team, not bad guys."
The two of them returned to the large truck parked on the roadside one after another. In the truck were several men and women holding firearms, all staring at Xu Cheng with wary eyes.
One of the semi-bald young men shouted something loudly to the woman in Russian, and the woman answered while crawling.
The young man glanced at Xu Cheng, suddenly switched to English, and shouted to the woman: "Zhuo Ya, you are crazy, what if this is a gangster?"
Suddenly switching to English, it was obvious that he was talking to Xu Cheng. This group of people seemed reluctant to let him get on the bus.
The woman named Zoya frowned and said: "But what if he is a lonely person accidentally? We should help these innocent people. Wasn't our convoy formed by a group of lonely people in the first place?"
"You're crazy. The only people left alone in this ghost place are those powerful and beasts with bad intentions."
"Andre, didn't you join the team in this area?"
"How can it be compared with now?"
The two quarreled in front of everyone. Andre couldn't defeat Zhuo Ya, and stared at Xu Cheng with some annoyance: "Boy, where did you come from? Our team does not accept guys of unknown origin. If you don't tell If it’s clear, get out of here!”
Xu Cheng put his hand into his pocket, used chaos energy to create two fake gold bars, and threw them at his feet: "Is this clear enough?"
Everyone in the carriage was stunned.
Andre looked down at the gold bars at his feet, and then at Xu Cheng. His fierce expression suddenly turned into a friendly smile: "Come in quickly, distinguished guest. There are vodka and biscuits in the carriage. You will definitely like it."
After the disaster, banknotes in many countries lost their properties as currency and became waste paper. However, gold remained strong and maintained a rare value in people's eyes, equated with food and supplies.
Zhuo Ya held his forehead with his hand, looking extremely embarrassed, and said to Xu Cheng: "I'm sorry, my fiancé made you laugh."
Xu Cheng smiled: "It's okay, I just like this kind of character who speaks directly."
After getting in the car, Andre had already put away the two large gold bars, then very flatteringly prepared a comfortable seat for Xu Cheng and invited him to sit down.
The smell in the carriage was not very good. Several people crowded together and looked at Xu Cheng with curious eyes.
Relying on his outstanding appearance and attitude (gold), Xu Cheng successfully lowered the vigilance of this group of people. A person who spends so generously does not look like someone who uses black means to make a living in this land.
What's more, Xu Cheng is not a Slavic, and he can tell at a glance that he is from out of town.
After Xu Cheng sat down, he also looked at this group of people. These were ordinary people, but regardless of men or women, everyone carried weapons and was well-trained, like a militia.
Zoya has also taken off her scarf. She is about thirty years old, has a cheerful appearance, and is a pretty woman.
I heard that the shelf life of Maomei is very short, but the shelf life of this one seems to be quite long.
The big truck restarted. Zhuo Ya dropped his scarf and handed Xu Cheng a glass of hot water: "What's your name? Why are you here alone in the snowy field?"
"As I said, I am a traveler who came to Eastern Europe to join an expedition, but I accidentally got lost."
Xu Cheng took the water glass and said casually: "Can you tell me what is the situation in Eastern Europe now? I have just arrived and I still don't know much about this place."
"Then you've found the right person."
Zoya said confidently: "Our team travels all over the country every day, and we know the current situation in Eastern Europe very well."
After the disaster, several countries in Eastern Europe were the first to collapse. The government lost its ability to organize, people with superpowers fought in melee, various mutated animals attacked people everywhere, and a large number of people fled to Europe.
But things are not easy in Europe. They can still receive refugees as laborers in peacetime, but their true nature is exposed after disasters.
The fate of all the refugees who fled to Europe was very miserable. Men became slaves, women became commodities, and the level of civilization suddenly regressed back to the Middle Ages.
During this chaotic time, the goddess of winter suddenly arrived. There are also rumors that the goddess of winter awakened from her long slumber in the ice field.
The Goddess of Winter is a goddess in native Eastern European myths and legends who controls the power of winter.
After the goddess arrived, she established her own kingdom of ice and snow on the boundless ice field. Many people who could not survive began to seek refuge with the goddess and work for her.
Not long after, a brand new country was built, and the surrounding chaos gradually calmed down. However, because of the lack of information, the outside world did not know the situation here.
If the Goddess of Winter is allowed to continue to develop, the situation in the entire Eastern Europe may be restored, but it didn't take long before the enemies of the Goddess of Winter appeared.
The enemy is from the Celestial Clan, a woman nicknamed Zhi Dong, who also has the power of ice and snow, and is tit for tat with the Goddess of Winter.
Since the Celestial Clan came to the forefront from behind the scenes, their organization has begun to grow and develop at a rapid rate, and countless ability users have defected to this organization that is the enemy of the old gods.
The war between the Goddess of Winter and Solstice suddenly broke out, and Eastern Europe, which had been gradually restoring order, once again became chaotic.
The current fleet is also a fleet belonging to the Goddess of Winter, specializing in transporting supplies to major cities.
Due to disasters, land has been abandoned and food has been reduced sharply. This year has caused many food famines. A large number of people died in disasters or famine, and the reduced population has eased the pressure on food.
Now several countries in Eastern Europe have basically disappeared, replaced by some cities that choose to use force to govern themselves.
These cities were loyal to the Goddess of Winter or Solstice respectively, and provided soldiers for both sides to fight, and then obtained food and material supplies from them. They had completely degenerated into autonomous knightly territories like those in the Middle Ages.
Kharkiv, where Xu Cheng is going, is one of the autonomous territories. It is hundreds of kilometers away and it takes several days of driving to get there.
Hearing this, Xu Cheng asked: "Then you pick me up privately, is everything okay?"
"fine."
While maintaining the firearm in his hand, Zoya said: "In addition to transporting supplies, the convoy also handles some passengers' business. There are many passengers on the bus who are taking a ride to Kharkov. You are halfway on the bus." It doesn’t matter, just pay the toll.”
Immediately afterwards, she explained for her fiancé: "Because there are many robbers on the road pretending to be passers-by and deceiving the convoy to stop and rob, that's why my fiancé refused to let you get in the car. I hope you don't mind."
Xu Cheng asked curiously: "Then you are not afraid that I am a robber?"
Zoya glanced at the black trench coat he was wearing and smiled: "A real robber would only pretend to be a weakling to gain sympathy, but would not wear such fine clothes as yours."
