The face of the old man in Tang suit was beyond Zhang Heng's imagination. After the rescue team arrived and brought him gasoline, he asked Zhang Heng to drive him back with him.
"The high-speed rail here will not be completed until the end of the year. Now you can only take ordinary trains or go back long distances, and there is a long way from here to the station. You can't get any taxis at this time. Why don't we get together? , it’s not that lonely on the road.”
"…………"
Zhang Heng thought for a while, and finally agreed to the suggestion of the old man in Tang suit and sat in the driver's seat, while the latter also opened the passenger door.
Zhang Heng ignited the car, and the Volvo's engine roared again. Twenty minutes later, the two finally escaped from the grassland. Since the rescue team only brought two small barrels of gasoline, Zhang Heng drove the car to the nearest gas station and filled it up.
The old man in Tang suit took this opportunity to quietly sneak into the small supermarket of the gas station and buy a large bag of snacks, half of which were various candies.
After getting in the car, he couldn't wait to tear open a pack of marshmallows, and handed a box of egg yolk pie and a pack of braised eggs to Zhang Heng, "Here, it's almost dawn, let's have some breakfast before driving."
Zhang Heng is browsing the latest news in the player forum. The battle in the city village has ended, but the specific situation is not known at the moment. The arc of light has blocked the news and has not issued any statement. The ID of Shen Xixi’s Wonder Woman is at zero point. I haven’t logged into the forum since then.
So now, no matter how hard the melon eaters scratch their scalps, they won't be able to get any useful information. In addition, there are many posts discussing him on the forum. Zhang Heng closed his notebook after looking at it twice, and then tore open an egg yolk. group.
He had experienced several battles in a row before, and he was indeed a little hungry.
The old man in Tang suit secretly glanced at his face, "Are you still angry at me for taking you away midway?"
"Should I?" Zhang Heng threw the remaining wrapping paper from the egg yolk pie back into the carton and said expressionlessly.
"To be honest, I don't like Justitia either. Roman mythology is like a pot of chowder. Pour everything in at once and keep stirring. It looks good, but the taste is hard to describe. They They copied a little bit here and there, adapted Greek mythology, Egyptian mythology, and mixed it with their own original beliefs. But you have to admit that they did a pretty good job at one time, but now most of them are just hanging on. , Justitia is very lucky, and has tied herself to the law. In today's world, everyone no longer believes in gods and monsters, and is more willing to believe in the law."
The old man in Tang suit was chattering, and the Volvo had already left the gas station again.
In the rearview mirror, the staff on duty at the gas station yawned and walked back to the duty room.
"Stop talking about these depressing things." The old man in Tang suit finished eating the marshmallows, tore open another pack of popping candies, stuck out his tongue, poured some on it, then closed his eyes with a look of enjoyment, and said for a long time Then he said again, "How are you doing recently? Is everything going well? We haven't seen each other for a while. You must have experienced seven rounds of the game. Are you satisfied with the little gift I gave you?"
“What is this, a user feedback survey?”
"That's understandable," the old man in Tang suit smiled and raised the popping candy in his hand, "I'm different from Justitia, the guy who just abuses his own agent when he has nothing to do. I always pay attention to my partners. Physical and mental health, I can only be happy when you are happy. After all, I have put all my chips on you. As the old saying goes, don’t mess with a gambler who is already losing money."
Zhang Heng was noncommittal about this. A few months ago, he might have believed the other party's rhetoric. However, after the incident in Greenland, Zhang Heng did not believe that the other party approached him simply to win the game.
The old man in Tang suit then continued, "Actually, I came back to find you this time. You may already know that the proxy war is about to begin."
Zhang Heng first heard about the agent war from the coffee man. Later, he asked the bartender about this issue, but all he got was some ambiguous descriptions. Now the old man in Tang suit came back specifically for this matter, and obviously he was not interested in it. They also attach great importance to it, or at least they attach great importance to it on the surface.
"Proxy War is somewhat similar to the games you have experienced before. It is still a copy-based game, but it will be more dangerous and even exaggerated. These dangers come not only from the copy, but also from your competitors. As the name suggests, Proxy War is a game where only agents You can only participate in the war. Of course, your former teammates can also continue to team up with you as apostles. Don’t underestimate the apostles. If used well, they are also a very powerful force. After all, many people are no worse than agents. It was only given up by the gods because of compatibility issues or there were better choices. Of course, if you like to do it alone, that's up to you, the gift I gave you is still valid."
After finishing the popping candy, the old man in Tang suit finally let his mouth relax for a while, and said seriously, "Another thing I must remind you, in fact, I also warned you when we first met, to be careful with other agents. , it is not ruled out that some people will use other means other than games to deal with their competitors, especially after what happened tonight, you are now famous among players, but fortunately, except for that guy Justitia, you should No one can recognize you, just be careful not to bump into her again, and if you have the chance, you can also kill the guy you don’t like, you were very decisive tonight."
"I'm just returning the favor." Zhang Heng said calmly.
"Yes, yes, whatever you say," the old man in Tang suit shrugged, "I know you don't completely believe me, but it doesn't matter, one day you will find out who really cares about you... In the end, forever Remember, I am your solid backing. No matter what happens in the future, you can always get help from me. Tsk tsk, if you want, you can write down this last sentence in your notebook." He clapped his hands, " Okay, let’s get down to business. Now we can relax a little. It’s been a long journey, what do you want to hear?”
As the old man in Tang suit spoke, he turned on the car stereo and muttered, "I remember there was a song called "Learning to Meow". Have you heard it? It's very popular recently. "Seaweed Dance" is also good. I was shaking before I said that. I also saw a female anchor on the video. Her figure is incredible, but I don’t know if she has a filter on. I’m planning to get her contact information to verify it on the spot..."
