He was a handsome-looking old man with silver hair. Although he looked over fifty, he was still tough, especially those blazing golden eyes that made him look like a white lion in his prime.
"Can I ask for directions?" the old man asked.
"..."
Chu Zihang held the knife tightly as if facing a powerful enemy.
Hilbert Jean Angers…
No, to be precise, it is "the Angers of this world."
Since he came to this world, he has met familiar faces more than once.
The only familiar faces were faces, but none of them were people I was familiar with before.
But this time, the Angers who appeared in front of him seemed to be the same as the Principal Angers in his memory.
That is, this old man is also very strong, so strong that he has absolutely no confidence that he can survive in the opponent's hands.
The reason why he remained silent was simply because he didn't know the other party's purpose now.
This old man had obviously been standing here for a while. If he wanted to attack them, he would have done it long ago.
"Don't be so excited, I'm just an old man passing by." The old man chuckled, "Excuse me, how to get to Fulong City?" "
Chu Zihang frowned.
"Fulong City" is a city in this world. The point is not this, but that this city happens to be the destination of his employer this time.
The old man in front of them seemed to be coming for them too.
Without hesitation, Chu Zihang jumped to the roof of the car and swung the knife forward in his hand. However, when he slashed, he found that the old man was no longer on the roof of the car. Disappeared very suddenly.
Yan Ling Time Zero! ?
Unexpectedly, even Yan Ling is the same...
Chu Zihang frowned deeper and turned his head to look in the direction of the woods.
The old man was already standing on the tree by the roadside.
"Who sent you?" Chu Zihang asked.
"We will meet again." The silver-haired old man smiled softly and did not answer Chu Zihang's question.
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure had disappeared without a trace.
Chu Zihang looked around nervously, and he clearly felt that there was no one alive anymore.
To be precise, they are all dead...
The eighteen minions just now didn't seem to be all the people who came to surround them.
This old man is here to help him!
The people in ambush around him had been silently wiped out by the other party at some point, like ghosts, silently harvesting their lives.
Time zero? It was... just as scary as ever.
A drop of cold sweat flowed from Chu Zihang's forehead.
"What's wrong?" asked the man in the carriage.
"I don't know." Chu Zihang shook his head and replied, "It seems like someone is helping us."
"Oh." The person in the carriage spoke calmly, as if he didn't feel anything surprising.
"Aren't you surprised?" Chu Zihang asked with a frown.
"What's so strange?" The voice in the carriage was still frivolous, "If there are people who want me dead, there will naturally be people who want me alive. This is not a contradiction, is it?"
"..."
Chu Zihang was silent. He was not good at communicating with others, let alone such roundabout words.
How strange. He just thought to himself, then took the reins and continued driving.
It was already late at night, and it was time to find a place to rest, but it certainly couldn't be on such an unobstructed road. There were too many people who wanted their lives, so they had to be cautious at all times.
············
Chu Zihang drove the carriage into a dilapidated abandoned hut and covered it with hay. In this war-torn world, such uninhabited huts can be seen everywhere.
Having built a fire, he prepared to take a short rest.
But as soon as I closed my eyes, I recalled the silver-haired old man I met before. When the old man landed on the hood of the car, his murderous intent spread and almost stagnated the air within a ten-mile radius.
, but when Chu Zihang faced the other party, he was as kind as an old man who cared about his children.
Chu Zihang didn't believe that such a guy was just here to help them clear "obstacles". He must have some ulterior motive, but...
He looked in the direction of the carriage covered by straw. The employer in the carriage had not gotten off since he got on. It seems that he is not willing to reveal more things to him.
He didn't know the employer who looked like a little boy. It should be said that if this was a face he was familiar with, then he would definitely not accept the other party's commission.
Originally, he just wanted to make some money to survive in this world so that he could find a way back, but who would have thought that the mission he received this time seemed a bit strange.
"What a troublesome job..." To be honest, Chu Zihang regretted it a little.
"I said, brother, you won't be tired... let's find a place to rest! I'm so tired!"
Suddenly there was a complaint at the door.
Chu Zihang was suddenly alert, and the knife in his hand was unsheathed. A ray of cold light extinguished the bonfire, and his whole body exploded backwards, hiding in the dark haystack.
For some reason, he always felt that this voice seemed familiar.
But based on previous encounters, the guys he was familiar with in this world were all dangerous, so he had to be more vigilant.
"Oh... I can finally take a break. After walking for several days, my legs are hurting!" A man complained loudly and rushed into the hut and sat down. The voice sounded like that of a teenager.
"Can you be more useless?" Another person said mercilessly.
The voice also felt very familiar to Chu Zihang.
"Have you ever talked to your savior like this?" Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes.
"One code equals one code." Sun Haoran sighed helplessly.
"Mr. Fire, Mr. Fire!" Lu Mingfei rubbed his hands and complained, "Why is the temperature difference between day and night so big in this damn place!"
As he spoke, he prepared to light a fire on the ground.
"etc!"
Looking at the fire on the ground, Sun Haoran reminded him vigilantly.
It is not strange to have a used fire in such an abandoned hut. They had rested several times before coming here and saw the same scene.
But a hint of warmth mixed in the cold wind made Sun Haoran realize that something was wrong.
"This fire... has just been extinguished."
As he spoke, he gently leaned down and touched the temperature of the charcoal.
"!
"
Lu Mingfei trembled all over, a chill rising from his heels to the top of his head, as if he had heard some terrible ghost story.
[In view of the general environment,
The fire had just gone out, which naturally meant that there were still people here until they came here.
On the other side, Chu Zihang, who was hiding in the haystack with his eyes closed, held the handle of the knife. He lowered his posture, his eyes were covered, and a faint golden light flashed away.
"Great! Isn't this just right?"
Lu Mingfei smiled awkwardly and lit the fire, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.
Since the other party hid immediately when they saw them coming, they must not want to conflict with them! After all, if the other party deliberately ambush them here, it would be impossible to leave such traces.
At times like this, you should just pretend not to know.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to light it. I've never lit a fire in the wild."
"..."
Sun Haoran also sat down again in silence.
Of course he knew what Lu Mingfei meant, but he didn't expect that this guy's brain would be very good at this time.
However, to be on the safe side, he still used his eyes to signal Lu Mingfei not to act rashly.
Chu Zihang closed his eyes, and the hand holding the knife relaxed slightly, knowing it tacitly.
He is currently injured, and he should try to avoid it without taking action.
These two men didn't look like they were here to hunt them down.
Chu Zihang looked at the two people sitting around the fire and quickly understood why the two people's voices sounded so familiar.
Lu Mingfei and Sun Haoran.
At least in his opinion, these two people did have the faces of these two familiar people in his impression.
At this moment, Lu Mingfei had a silly smile on his face, rubbing his hands to warm himself up, as if he was completely unaware of everything around him, looking like a silly roe deer.
Looking at this scene, Chu Zihang couldn't help but miss the past.
It would be nice if these two people were the two he was familiar with...
"By the way...how long are we going to keep walking like this?" Lu Mingfei asked thoughtfully.
They had been walking for two days and two nights and still had not seen any living person.
There was finally one here, but I didn't dare to disturb him.
what to do?
Sun Haoran understood and shook his head slightly: "Go slowly, don't be in a hurry."
If it were him before, no matter who was hiding in the dark, he would bring it out first.
But things are different now. Although this body has the same bloodline as his own and even looks the same, it is too weak.
If Lu Mingfei could cheat like he did in the Nibelungen subway, he wouldn't even be able to beat Lu Mingfei.
Therefore, in this situation of uncertainty, it is not wise to alert the people hiding in the dark.
It would be better to wait until dawn tomorrow, leave quietly, and then hide and turn from light to darkness, and follow this hiding guy to find the way.
"All right."
Lu Mingfei didn't know whether he understood the meaning of Sun Haoran's words, but he nodded first.
"Don't worry, don't worry." In order to prevent this guy from accidentally alarming the other party, Sun Haoran reminded him again.
"Hmm..." Lu Mingfei nodded repeatedly.
"..."
In the darkness, Chu Zihang was silent.
Naturally, he didn't know what these two people were thinking.
However, under the current situation, he could only wait until dawn before these two people left before setting off.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look in the direction of the carriage. Fortunately, he was cautious, and the first thing he did when he came here was to hide the carriage with haystacks.
Late at night, when everything is silent.
"Um?"
Sun Haoran suddenly opened his calm eyes, kicked Lu Mingfei on the side, looked outside the room, and frowned.
"What's wrong?" Lu Mingfei looked around and asked quietly.
"Someone is coming," Sun Haoran responded in the same whisper, "Two of them, and...with murderous intent."
If it weren't for such obvious murderous intent, he wouldn't have felt it so clearly.
"I'll go, it's really lively tonight, so many people can gather in a shabby house..." Lu Mingfei whispered silently, and at the same time followed Sun Haoran to get up warily.
It's fun now, they are being attacked from both sides! We don’t know whether those hiding in the dark are friends or foes, but someone is attacking openly and openly. But he was thinking that they had just arrived in this world and were unfamiliar with the place. How could they have enemies?
How could someone come towards them with murderous intent?
"Little brother, do you have good hearing? You can tell that we are two people right away."
Although the communication between the two people deliberately lowered their voices, it seemed that they were still heard by the visitor.
"!
"
Sun Haoran and Lu Mingfei both turned around suddenly.
At some point, a woman was already standing at the door.
A very charming woman, wearing a tight-fitting black dress, her long hair flowing freely in the wind, the moonlight shining on her body made her look slender. Especially the enchanting eye shadow makes her look particularly charming.
The woman smiled slightly at the two people in the room, and the moonlight shining in from the window seemed to become a little eerie because of this smile.
"Then beautiful sister...can you have something to say to me?"
Although being called "little brother" by a woman made Sun Haoran a little speechless, his current situation was indeed not the time to waste time.
"Cackle..."
The woman smiled with a gentle voice, "I didn't expect to meet two handsome young men in the wilderness. It seems I won't be lonely tonight."
"hehe……"
Hearing this, Sun Haoran smiled awkwardly, but secretly thought something was wrong in his heart, because the murderous intention in the other party did not diminish at all.
"Sister, it's cold outside, why don't you come in first and let's sit down and talk?"
"No need." The woman politely refused, smiling and stroking her hair.
"Oh, it's so sad to be rejected by a beautiful woman."
Sun Haoran shook his head helplessly, his body tense.
Rejection naturally means there is nothing left to talk about between them.
"Then why are you two here tonight?"
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly became cold, and the gilded gold rose from the bottom of his eyes. He looked at the woman in front of him, and also looked at another figure standing on the dilapidated courtyard wall outside the dilapidated house not far behind the woman.
It was a man, a very burly man. When placed next to the woman in front of him, he had a sense of beauty and the beast.
This man had a strangely strong figure. He had no weapons in his hands, but he had sharp claws. Under the moonlight, he looked at them with an indifferent gaze like a ferocious beast looking at its prey.
Compared to the woman in front of him, anyone could tell that this man was much more threatening.
"Isn't this obvious..." Lu Mingfei complained helplessly. It was a dark and windy night, and he came to visit with murderous intent. Did he need to ask what he was here for?
You can't just get together at a table and play mahjong. To put it bluntly, even if we really want to play mahjong, there will be one more person. Doesn’t it mean that we have to play mahjong first to add to the fun?
What puzzled Lu Mingfei was why these two people came to kill them?
Again, when they came to this new world, no one had any sins!
"I'm sorry, you two. You guys are not very lucky." The woman said with some regret in her tone, "You happened to be in front of the person we wanted to kill, so I can only say I'm sorry."
"Well, you told me earlier! Let's just get out of the way..." Sun Haoran thought to himself that it was indeed the case.
They don't have any enemies. These two can only come for the person hiding in the dark.
But facing his proposal, the woman opposite didn't seem to want to accept it.
"I'm sorry, we are carrying out an assassination mission, and no one can see the assassination. So I'd like to bother you two, but also save your lives tonight..."
"Join forces?"
A male voice that sounded not in good condition came from behind.
Lu Mingfei turned around and stared blankly at the man emerging from the haystack.
Good guy! This hairstyle, this figure, this face!
It's you!
