This team has always relied on experienced drivers to lead the team. Although Zoya has been to Kharkov twice, she cannot remember the long road.
Although I knew the general direction, in such heavy snowy weather, I would be completely lost within a few hours if I just ran around.
Zhuoya didn't know what to do and could only leave it to Xu Cheng to make the decision.
Xu Cheng quickly thought of a way and took Zhuoya back to the small town.
The mayor of the small town was still very surprised. The deal that was agreed upon was gone forever. Could it be that something had happened?
When the two returned and explained clearly what had happened to the convoy, the mayor showed an expression of shock and regret, then turned his head and pinched his thighs with his hands to prevent him from laughing uncontrollably.
It's not that he has no sympathy, but since all the people in the convoy are killed, who will benefit from so many supplies in the end?
With such a big pie falling from the sky, it would have been polite not to laugh on the spot.
However, I was also shocked. Such a large convoy was slaughtered in just a short time. The murderer must not be an ordinary person.
Xu Cheng suggested that the convoy's supplies could be handed over to the town, and the town would need a driver to transport the two of them to Kharkov as quickly as possible.
The supplies in the convoy were already a burden that Xu Cheng and Zhuo Ya could not take away or use, but they were a huge sum of money for the town. The mayor hurriedly agreed and patted his chest and promised that he would definitely send them. The best driver in the city brought the two of them safely to Kharkov.
After sending someone to the camp to check and confirm that the two men were not lying, the mayor immediately sent an experienced driver and a car.
Zoya took one last look at the convoy being accepted by the town, then got into the car with Xu Cheng and headed towards Kharkov in the heavy snow.
The journey took two days, and Zhuoya remained calm in the car, completely different from his usual cheerful self.
Xu Cheng had no choice but to persuade: "Sorry, people can't be resurrected after death, and the living still need to look forward."
Although the murder of Zoya's mother is regrettable, from a cold-blooded perspective, it actually freed her from burdens and allowed her to live more easily alone.
Zoya showed a forced smile: "Thank you, I'm not that sad. My mother became crazy because she couldn't accept the death of her father. Maybe this is a kind of relief for her."
Xu Cheng took the initiative to bring up the topic: "Can you tell me about your past?"
Zhuo Ya nodded, then cheered up and told Xu Cheng about her past experiences.
With Xu Cheng's careful guidance, Zhuo Ya gradually came out of his sadness.
Two days passed in a blink of an eye. The driver sent by the mayor was indeed reliable and successfully transported Xu Cheng and Zoya to Kharkov.
Kharkiv is indeed the second largest city in Ukraine, and its liveliness is far beyond that of the previous small town.
A high wall was also built around the city, and there were guards standing guard at the gate. As dusk approached, the queue entering the city was hundreds of meters long, and most of them were refugees who came here from all over to seek a living.
Refugees need to pay a large fee to enter the city and hand over their valuables before they can be qualified to live in the city.
If you don't have money and want to settle in the city, you have to work for the ruler here for free for three years.
In order to avoid trouble, Xu Cheng and Zoya both paid the fee to enter the city, and then successfully entered Kharkov.
The interior of the city is still lively, crowded with people from other places, and basic order and business are also running.
Many scantily clad women stand on the street to attract customers, including many young and beautiful women. If you want to survive here, selling your body is a shortcut.
After successfully entering the city, it was a difficult problem for the two of them to find Oleg's whereabouts. The city had a population of 3 million before the disaster, and now there are at least 300,000.
If you want to accurately identify a person among more than 300,000 people, without clues, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
And Xu Cheng's electromagnetic induction is not omnipotent. It can distinguish movement within a certain range, but it cannot find specific people in densely populated cities.
Zoya was not just a follower. After entering the city, he offered his own advice: "Let's find a place to live first. Oleg is a very powerful person. He might be able to fight quickly when he comes to this place." With his reputation, you will know where he is without looking for him."
This is neither good nor bad advice, but it's prudent. Get your footing first before thinking about anything else.
Xu Cheng agreed with Zhuo Ya's suggestion, but the time he agreed to meet with the expedition group was today: "I want to go to a place first to meet the people I have made an appointment with."
Zoya quickly said: "I'll go with you."
She was really scared now and had to stay with Xu Cheng to feel safe enough.
Xu Cheng also agreed that although Kharkov barely had a certain degree of order, the crime rate was definitely far higher than before the disaster. Letting Zoya act alone was simply telling the traffickers that there was a lone fat sheep here. It would be rude not to catch him again.
After a friendly exchange with a few gangsters who were trying to rob the road, Xu Cheng and Zhuo Ya received an unexpected income and also found out the specific location of the Brown Bear Bar.
When the two of them arrived at the Brown Bear Bar, it was already dark and the bar was bustling with people and many customers.
In today's environment, those who can come to bars to spend money are considered rich and powerful people. Ordinary people or refugees are working as slaves in refugee camps, and there is no extra financial resources for entertainment.
In order to avoid any jealousy from happening again, Zhuo Ya took the initiative to put on a mask to cover her beautiful face.
The two entered the bar, bypassed the dance floor where the demons were dancing, and came to the bar.
Xu Cheng handed the bartender a piece of temporary currency issued by the ruler of Kharkiv. The face value was not low, equivalent to a day's salary of an ordinary person.
The bartender who received the tip smiled and said, "Excuse me, how can I help you?"
Xu Cheng looked around and said, "I made an appointment with the Peilong Expedition to meet here today. Is there any news about them?"
Peyron Expedition is a very clichéd name. Peyron is the supreme god in charge of thunder and lightning in Slavic mythology. In Chinese, it is equivalent to a name called Lei Gong Expedition.
However, the more clichéd it is, the less noticeable it will be. Really mature people will not use some ridiculous nicknames.
The bartender immediately said: "There is a recreation room on the fourth floor, which has been booked by the expedition group."
Xu Cheng thanked him and took Zhuo Ya up the stairs to the fourth floor.
At the entrance of the stairs on the fourth floor, there was a strong man with crossed arms guarding the door. When he saw Xu Cheng and two people coming up, he immediately said with emotion: "This place has been booked. Please leave if you are okay."
Xu Cheng revealed his identity: "I am a global traveler, and I was invited to join the expedition group."
The strong man looked her up and down, and suddenly asked the secret code: "What is the souvenir of America?"
In the past, Xu Cheng had asked others for passwords. This was the first time he was asked, and it felt quite strange. He told the answer provided by the dog manager: "The specialty of the United States is scalp."
"correct answer."
The strong man's attitude improved a lot, and he opened the door behind him: "Please come in, wait a moment, the leader will be here soon."
】
Xu Cheng took Zhuo Ya in. As soon as he entered the gate, he heard a burst of chatter and laughter coming from inside.
The entertainment room is very spacious, with billiard tables, table tennis tables, dart boards, slot machines and other entertainment facilities, as well as a small bar.
Four people, three men and one woman, were standing in front of the bar talking and laughing. When they heard the door open, they all turned to look over.
When one of the men saw Xu Cheng and Zhuo Ya pushing in the door, he had a shocked expression on his face.
Xu Cheng was also slightly startled, and then smiled: "It's really hard to find anywhere without wearing iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it. What a coincidence, Oleg."
One of the four men and women who were communicating was surprisingly the Oleg they were looking for.
Unexpectedly, this sixth child was also a member of the expedition group.
Seeing his enemy suddenly, Zoya widened his eyes in surprise and stared at Oleg.
But she did not speak rashly, because the people around Oleg looked like his companions, and we were outnumbered.
Oleg did not expect that Xu Cheng could actually find this place, and if he could get in, he must be a member of the expedition group.
The woman next to him who was wearing a mask and staring at him with hatred was definitely Zoya.
"It's a coincidence indeed."
With his companions by his side, Oleg was more confident than ever. He even raised the wine glass in his hand to Xu Cheng, showing a provocative smile.
"It's so hard on you, chasing my scent like wild dogs."
The woman with a wavy hairstyle on the side looked at Xu Cheng's face with squinting eyes and said, "Oleg, is this an acquaintance of yours? Why don't you introduce me?"
"Didn't I tell you just now that I met a stupid young man two days ago who wanted to risk his life for a woman?"
Oleg raised his chin and gestured to Xu Cheng: "That's the guy."
The three companions showed strange expressions, and then they all laughed.
"Oleg, since you know this is a fool, why are you still teasing me?"
"We won't help you if you are caught up now."
The wavy woman even licked her red lips and cast an ambiguous look at Xu Cheng: "Boy, ordinary women are so boring. Do you want to give it a try with me, sister?"
Seeing that these shameless guys were still laughing at Xu Cheng, Zhuo Ya was so angry that his whole body trembled and his teeth gritted loudly.
Xu Cheng looked normal, reached out and patted the back of her hand, and then walked towards the four of them: "Are you done laughing?"
Oleg drank all the wine in his hand and said viciously: "After laughing, what do you want?"
"After laughing, let's hit the road."
Following Xu Cheng's voice, a bolt of thunder suddenly fell from the sky and struck Oleg hard, instantly burning his whole body to black and causing him to fall on his back with a thump.
