Gu——
Like the sound of a drum, Valentin touched his belly awkwardly and showed an apologetic smile to Xing Yihuang. Xing Yihuang ignored him, but leaned on his seat and looked into the distance.
Their location was on the wilderness road outside Longmen City, surrounded by refugees from Checheng who were fleeing. But unlike those refugees walking, the vehicles in the middle of the road were all damaged and damaged. For this espionage operation, Valentin rejected Kelsey's request to go to Longmen with other senior operators, but chose to follow the refugee flow to Longmen on foot——
"You have to do everything when it comes to acting."
This is what he explained to Kelsey at the time.
Early the next morning, he left the Rhode Island base with Xing Yihuang and headed towards Longmen. As for why Raphael did not join this operation, it is because she is too well-known in Chicheng. Everyone knows that there is a Sakota man in Chicheng who is very good-looking, very beautiful and has excellent medical skills. The dream goddess of many young people, the integration movement specially launched an assassination operation against her. If she follows Valentine to Longmen, then there is no need to continue this espionage operation and she can just join the Rhode Island team directly.
Why do you engage in espionage operations with the spotlight on you? Wouldn't it be good to go to the front lines to increase the favorability of two girls?
For this operation, Valentin specially changed the clothes of the two people into dilapidated quality. The coats had many burn marks and were covered with enough dust to kill bronchitis on the spot. They looked different. The refugees in the city are no different. In order to look more like him, he even untied his shoelaces, showing the image of a poor refugee who had been sleeping in the wild for many days.
Then after falling twice on the flat ground, he tied the shoelaces again with Xing Yihuang's caring eyes...
After four hours of walking, Valentine's enthusiasm for this operation was finally worn away by the endless road, and he even had two blisters on his feet. Fortunately, due to the mission, Valentin took off the Observer PlusProMaxCC so that he could use the Origin Stone technique. Otherwise, he would have had to endure the pain in his feet and limped to the dragon gate. Although the gantry has opened to a relatively close distance from the core area of Qicheng City, and the Rhode Island base is even closer to it, it will still take nearly a full day to walk there. For this reason, Valentin deliberately found a barely usable car when he left the ruins of the city after telling the Origin Stone, and drove directly on the road. On the way, he even encountered refugees who robbed the car, and was punched by a child by Xing Yihuang. After KO, we finally arrived at Longmen City Gate at dawn...
End of the queue outside.
He had been queuing for an hour. The car covered with scars had traveled about 300 meters during this period. Visually, the queue in front of him was at least two kilometers long. Valentine felt that they were going to go there tonight. Sleeping in the wilderness.
Unlike the restless Valentine, Xing Yihuang seemed particularly calm. After driving out of the ruins of Qicheng City, she kept looking at the scenery in the distance. Although there are no buildings in the wild due to natural disasters, there are still some small villages that bring a rare life to this lifeless wilderness.
This time, the natural disaster clouds over Chernobog were extremely precise, covering the entire city of Chernobog, but did not affect the surrounding villages. I don't know whether it was lucky or unfortunate.
Fortunately they are not affected by natural disasters, but unfortunately they are likely to be ransacked by a bunch of refugees or integration movements.
Looking at the villages in the distance, Xing Yihuang's thoughts gradually drifted away, and she remembered the time she spent across the entire Siberian snowfield.
Just like now, she also experienced a natural disaster at that time, survived the natural disaster, and continued to move towards her goal. The road ahead is long and there is no end in sight, and the white snow is full of malicious eyes. During that long march, Xing Yihuang passed through many mobile city-states, but she went around them without even looking at them and continued on, relying on her perseverance and her hunting skills to barely survive in the snowy fields.
But she is human after all.
After surviving a fight with a wild beast, Xing Yihuang finally collapsed. Blood was spread all over the snow, whether it was the beast's or her own. The cold wind was still raging, and Xing Yihuang felt his body getting warmer. Drowsiness gradually flooded into Xing Yihuang's brain. She lay motionless on the ground, her eyelids blinking and blinking...slower and slower, slower and slower...
Finally, Xing Yihuang completely relaxed his body and closed his eyes.
In the dream, she finally reached the end and returned to her home. The father and mother prepared dinner for their three children as usual. Xing Yihuang and her younger siblings sat at the dining table waiting like little children. The burning logs in the fireplace crackled, and the orange light illuminated her smiling face. There is no pain, no cold, only endless warm family affection.
But this warmth did not last long. Xing Yihuang soon lost it because he woke up from the dream.
She was lying in a wooden house, the bed was very warm, and the fireplace in the room was exactly like in the dream.
Soon, she understood why. This is a settlement on the Siberian snowfields, very close to the border of Yanwu, and not far away is a mobile city-state of Ursus. This village is basically full of hunters. They hunt when it snows and plant crops when the snow melts. They are self-sufficient and can sell excess crops to city-states in exchange for Dragon Gate coins every year. Yesterday, the noise caused by Xing Yihuang's fight with the wild beast happened to attract a hunting team that was out, and Xing Yihuang was rescued.
She lived in that village for about two weeks, and that's where she noticed the changes in her body. The people in the village were very kind to Xing Yihuang, especially after Xing Yihuang showed off her extraordinary hunting skills. The head of the village even made a request to let her live here permanently. Xing Yihuang naturally refused. For her, nothing is more important than going home.
One day after Xing Yihuang returned from hunting, she noticed some changes in her body. A small hard object appeared on her back. After confirming that it was the Originium crystal caused by the ore disease infection, Xing Yihuang knew that it was time for him to leave.
After that, she stayed in a city-state on the border of Yanwu for a long time, was found by Rhine Life, came to Columbia, took Valentine out of Rhine Life's control, and finally joined Rhode Island.
Valentine, Raphael, Jiao Zhengyu. Renewed hope...
It's like a long dream, but extremely real.
"*Chinese expletive*!"
Valentin slammed the steering wheel, and his violent yells brought Xing Yihuang out of his memories and back to reality.
She turned her head and saw Valentine who was rolling up his sleeves, as if he was about to get out of the car and prepare to fight. However, because the door was stuck, he tried several times and failed to open it. Valentin was so angry that he kicked the car hard.
"What's wrong?" Xing Yihuang pulled Valentine and frowned slightly.
"That *Chinese expletive* is stuck in the position of labor!" Valentine picked up a stone from the car and threw it at the car in front. Because of the natural disaster, although the car could still start, the roof was gone and there was a lot of gravel in the back seat of the car, which they did not clean up when starting it.
The condition of the car in front was not much better. The stone thrown by Valentine easily hit the driver's head, causing the other party to give him a middle finger and a white eye.
"You *Chinese expletive* dare to give you the middle finger? Are you still justified in being beaten in the position of labor manager? Huh?" Valentin was not merciful, he kicked the car door directly, got out of the car smoothly, and took away the car at the same time. He picked up the machete that had been kept on the inside of the car door.
Valeria's gift to him.
Looking at the angry face of Valentine and the equally angry Ursus man who got out of the car before, Xing Yihuang felt that Valentine had stepped into the role too quickly.
"In Longmen, I am not Valentine, I am a gang member with a surly personality. I lost everything due to natural disasters and the integration movement. Rhodes Island is not willing to let me join because of what I have done, so I came to Longmen to take refuge. By the way, Ask all about the Integrated Movement.”
This is what Valentin said to his two roommates last night. It looked funny with his exaggerated expression and deliberately lowered voice, but Xing Yihuang and Raphael did not laugh.
The whole apartment was eerily quiet.
Although it looked like Valentine was pretending, everyone knew that he was sincere. Two years of hard work were wasted overnight, and no one could get out of the shadows within a few days.
Valentine has been pretending, maybe he who is right in front of him is Valentine's true face.
Valentine and the Ursus man soon started to quarrel, and the quarrel attracted the attention of many people around them. Everyone was talking a lot, and some were still shouting "fight, fight". For them, watching the excitement is probably the only pastime on the long road.
Just when Xing Yihuang was about to get out of the car and pull them away, Valentine suddenly jumped up and chopped off one of the guy's hands with a knife. At this moment, the surrounding discussions disappeared in an instant, and the sights that moved over disappeared, leaving only the Ursus man sitting on the ground and wailing.
Xing Yihuang's hand stopped on the door switch, staring blankly at Valentine's approaching figure.
"call……"
Valentine put the machete back to its original place. There was still some blood on it that had not been wiped clean.
"That guy probably hasn't eaten for several days. Although he looks strong, his reactions are very slow."
"You don't have to be so cruel."
Xing Yihuang looked at Valentine, his hand holding the steering wheel was shaking slightly.
"Absolutely? Ha." Valentine smiled.
"It's a good thing that I didn't chop off his entire arm... And you also saw the electric current on my body just now, right? I stopped his bleeding at the cost of losing a hand."
"I think he should thank me for not cutting off his right hand, otherwise he wouldn't be able to change gears."
Looking at Valentine with an indifferent expression, Xing Yihuang felt that this was his normal state.
Who wants to be bullied if they have power.
"I am now a poor man who has lost everything and a madman." Valentine held the steering wheel and muttered to himself, not knowing who he was talking to.
"No organization is willing to accept me, so I have no choice but to flee. You'd better not mess with me, or you'll be responsible for the consequences."
"Aren't you afraid of retaliation?" Xing Yihuang turned to look at the wilderness.
"I don't think anyone can kill me. I'm a doctor. I have a system in my head. I have a dragon and an angel behind me, and you are by my side."
Valentine chuckled.
"As long as I have enough Origin Stones to move the city, I can support him! Are you still afraid of these little gangsters?"
Xing Yihuang didn't speak, just looked into the distance quietly, seeming to have entered memories again. Valentine looked at the back of her head, recalling the feeling just now.
This madman's setting was his own idea, and since he said it, he must do it, otherwise Valentine felt that with the virtue he had when he was in Qicheng, he would never get any useful information in Longmen.
This time he didn't have an army of gangsters to lead, and he didn't have a subordinate as awesome as Leonid to command. There were only two of him and Xing Yihuang.
It was probably the first time that he had taken action against an ordinary person just because the other person had blocked his parking space. The education he received in his previous life for twenty years told him that this was wrong, but at the moment when the machete cut off the opponent's palm, Valentine felt a pleasure he had never experienced before.
Completely opposite to the initial aversion to killing people.
Very cool, very enjoyable...
That is the pleasure of having the power of life and death over others.
Valentin looked at the blood on the ground and shook his head vigorously to shake off the discordant scene. At that moment, he felt that he was in danger, as if if he took another step, he would fall into an abyss from which he could never return.
I am a good person, a successor of socialism, a new generation of young people who grew up under the red flag. That kind of black and degenerate thoughts should not appear in my mind, not even for a minute...
What I did just now was just impulsive, and the persona of a madman was also due to this mission. I am not like this myself...
Valentine crazily recited the core values of socialism in his heart, hoping to gain inner peace in this way.
Just like when you want to play another round and suddenly find that it's dawn, the world will always use various ways to create obstacles for people, just like Valentine now.
A voice interrupts his "meditation", much to Valentin's annoyance.
"Brother, do you want to enter Longmen now?"
A man wearing a windbreaker and a bowler hat appeared on the side of the car. He was dressed in a nondescript manner and his voice was low, as if he was telling a secret.
"Is there something wrong with you...wait what did you say?" Valentin was about to scold him but suddenly reacted and looked at the man and frowned.
"Two people, 40,000 Dragon Gate coins, 100% success, can enter the Dragon Gate without any troublesome checks, and can leave now."
The man stretched out four fingers and showed a gloomy smile.
"Are you going to sweep me or shall I sweep you?"
Valentine took out his phone directly.
…
The other party didn't seem to expect that Valentine would be so bold, and he was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted.
"Scan me, X letter or X pay treasure?"
"X Pay Pay." Valentine skillfully opened a software with a blue icon. Thanks to Longmen, although he was still a few kilometers away from the city gate, his mobile phone already had a signal. Thanks to Ursus' bank, although Chernobog was destroyed, the money he had in the bank was still there, and there was still a lot of Dragon Gate coins in the virtual account.
Soon, the transaction was completed. The man shook hands with Valentine and said, "Get out of the car, you two. We can enter the city now."
Valentine and Xing Yihuang simply got out of the car and followed the man. Just as they were about to leave, a hand was placed on the man's shoulder.
"Add me one."
Valentin looked along his arm, and a familiar figure appeared in his eyes.
Gray hair, small triangular ears, a somewhat hoarse voice, and a slender tail behind him.
Even though her face was not what he remembered, Valentine recognized her.
Rhode Island operator, SWEEP member, Kelsey's confidant, and scavenger.
