The car drove out of Satellite City No. 2 through the steel suspension bridge in the west of the city.
A wide rammed earth cement road extends to several small roads, drawing a rounded arc and leading to the depths of the wilderness.
And driving forward along the widest road in the middle, you will enter a huge road that has been built for a long time but still looks flat and wide. These are one of the expressway networks built thirty years ago, extending to various places.
Although it has been thirty years since the disaster, the roads are severely damaged.
But the road conditions around Qinggang City have been repaired by the construction team in the city, and basically retain their original appearance.
Only at the intersections of the roads near the high-walled city, many temporary roadblocks and high suspension bridges have been set up.
This is to prevent attacks from madmen and certain dangers.
Lu Xin grew up in Satellite City No. 2 since he was a child, and this is the first time he has really left the city.
He looked out of the window of the co-pilot and saw a deep lush and vibrant area.
All plants have signs of crazy growth.
There was a faint smell of rot in the air, which made people subconsciously tense.
The sky was gray.
When looking into the distance, there was a feeling that the light was distorted, and it seemed that things in the distance were deformed.
It was like a monster crawling on the ground, looking at the surroundings grimly.
…
…
"Haha, come, let me guess..."
"If it was the uncle, aunt, and the cute little sister sitting in the back seat, then I guess they must be sitting like this, right? The uncle sat on the left, the aunt sat on the right, and the cute little sister must be sitting in the middle, right?"
"Or the uncle is on the right and the aunt is on the left?"
"…"
After the gecko driving the vehicle learned that this empty car was actually a bit crowded, he couldn't stop talking.
From leaving the city to now, he has been chatting with the "family" in the car.
The key is that they were chatting happily...
Lu Xin felt helpless after hearing this and reminded him softly, "You guessed wrong."
The gecko was stunned for a moment and smiled, "No way, is my sister sitting on the left? Or on the right?"
"Neither."
Lu Xin answered without raising his head.
Looking from the rearview mirror, he saw his mother smiling and sitting upright in the back seat.
She had an elegant smile on her face. Seeing Lu Xin looking at her in the rearview mirror, she smiled softly:
"This boy is good, but he talks too much..."
"Do you want to consider asking your sister to sew his mouth shut?"
"..."
Lu Xin thought about it and decided to forget it.
Looking up slightly, he could hear his sister blowing the wind excitedly on the roof of the car, while shouting happily.
My father is not in the car now.
Although this family meeting unanimously passed the decision of the family of four to go out and find those people together.
But the father with a bad temper couldn't stand the boredom and depression along the way. And according to his temper, if he was also in the car, Lu Xin estimated that it would be difficult for the car to drive completely to the time when he found the people of the Knights. And the gecko who had been chatting happily could not guarantee that his head could continue to stay on his neck before reaching the destination...
In fact, there were only Lu Xin, his mother, his sister, and the gecko in the car.
Of course, Lu Xin didn't intend to remind the gecko or explain anything to him in detail.
Anyway, the gecko couldn't see.
Generally, for those who couldn't see their family members, Lu Xin chose not to tell them about the existence of their family members.
Lu Xin took the initiative to tell Chen Jing because it involved work.
And he told the gecko because they had to go together and might have to deal with the ability users together, so it would be better for them to know each other a little.
As for the problem of Gecko talking too much...
Seeing that he is so nervous, let him talk if he wants to...
...
...
"The information provided by the City Defense Department doesn't seem to be very useful."
In order to prevent Gecko from being in danger of having his mouth sewn, Lu Xin flipped through the information in his hand and said to Gecko casually.
"Yes, yes."
Gecko answered immediately.
He had been talking to an invisible person for so long on the way, and he was already very nervous.
At this time, he even felt very happy to see the answer he could hear. He held the steering wheel with one hand and took out a document from the file box in the car door with the other hand. His face quickly became serious: "The tracking of the city defense department has actually failed."
He placed it in front of him, flipped through it twice, and said: "According to the preliminary investigation results sent back by the city defense department agents, those people with abilities outside the city did not leave directly after escaping the city. Instead, they went to an abandoned town about ten kilometers south of the city and stayed in a high-rise building there for a certain period of time before setting off again and fleeing from here overnight."
"Unfortunately, there were only two agents who tracked down this knight group at that time. And they disappeared after investigating the high-rise building where the knight group temporarily stayed. Now it has been a whole day, and there has been no news. It is unknown whether they are alive or dead."
"The subsequent investigation team can only track down the abandoned town at most, and now they are looking for their bodies."
"..."
Lu Xin nodded and said: "Should we go over and take a look now?"
"Yes."
Gecko nodded: "Let's go to the place where they stayed before and see if the investigation team has any clues."
From the rearview mirror, Lu Xin found that his mother didn't seem to have any opinions, so he didn't say anything more.
Just thought seriously for a while, and said: "They have been running away for a whole day. No one knows how far they can go in this whole day. If we want to catch up with them, we can only maintain a very high speed!"
"Hehe..."
After listening to Lu Xin's words, Gecko laughed softly and said: "Brother, I think it's time to show you..."
"How powerful are our spider-type people when they touch something that can be manipulated..."
"..."
While talking, Gecko had already pushed down the gear and slowly pressed the accelerator to the bottom.
The obvious push back began to appear, and Lu Xin also adjusted the car window up.
He could see that the scenery outside the window began to obviously speed up and even blurred.
As a spider-type ability user, and driving such a high-configuration steel monster, Gecko's ability was quickly revealed.
The pointer on the dashboard seemed to be pulled to a higher number by an invisible hand.
The engine roared like a beast, and there was a numb feeling that went deep into the body.
On the road ahead, the cracked road surface, weeds that broke through the ground, and deep potholes made it very difficult for the car to move.
But under Gecko's extremely flexible control, which seemed to be very easy, the car still remained unusually stable.
The scenery ahead was madly approaching him, and then rushed behind him.
At this time, Lu Xin seemed to really feel that this car could fly.
"Swoosh!"
Even when turning into a winding intersection ahead, Gecko did not slow down, and even accelerated.
With the coordination of the steering wheel and the accelerator under his feet, the heavy car body drew a smooth tailspin, and then turned into the new intersection accurately and smoothly, and also avoided a hare that was running across the path, and plunged into the long road.
The only action he did to respect this road was to look forward.
He didn't even put his hands on the steering wheel.
Even Lu Xin couldn't help but sigh that there was always a strange beauty in watching spider-like people use tools...
And his sister...
He looked in the rearview mirror and saw that his sister was thrown out when passing the intersection just now, and was chasing him angrily.
...
...
With the general level of the gecko, the car took less than 20 minutes to arrive at the abandoned town.
The tall buildings were covered with weeds, like huge monsters, and occasionally exposed incomplete buildings.
At first glance, it gave people a panicky feeling of dilapidated and gloomy.
The car did not drive into the town, but stopped at the edge of the town, next to a tall building that was still largely intact.
When the car just stopped, Lu Xin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, Gecko's expression had become very serious. He stretched his hand out of the car window and made a gesture.
In the deserted town, two people wearing camouflage uniforms and looking like soldiers ran out soon.
They all held guns in their arms, and one of them held a newly printed document in his hand.
When he reached the car window, he saluted and reported very briefly: "I am sharing the latest intelligence with you under the order of the city defense department:"
"We arrived here at four o'clock this morning, and we had lost the news of the two colleagues at that time. After that, we conducted an initial investigation here and determined that the other party had stayed on the high-rise building in front for more than half an hour."
"Later, after investigating the tire tracks and road conditions around the high-rise building, we determined that the other party was a team of seven people, with five motorcycles and an off-road vehicle. Judging from the traces, they should have suddenly decided to leave and fled to the south."
"However, the surrounding road conditions and terrain are extremely complicated, and we cannot determine their exact route now."
"The two colleagues who have disappeared have not yet found any relevant traces."
"..."
As they spoke, they handed in the documents, which not only contained a more in-depth analysis of the situation he had just described, but also photos of the food left by the people upstairs, some cigarette butts, and preserved evidence.
"It's probably not easy to find someone with just these things..."
Gecko thought, turned his head and looked at Lu Xin.
Although he had already followed Lu Xin as the deputy captain to carry out this tracking mission, he didn't know how to do it specifically.
Of course, the people above might not know what to do either.
The agents belonging to the City Defense Department outside the car window were obviously confused.
They knew that a special tracking team would go out of the city to meet them and asked them to assist with all their efforts.
But they still didn't understand. Now that everything that should be investigated has been investigated, there are very few clues left by the other party. Even judging their escape route is not easy. As for tracking, how can you chase them in the vast wilderness?
...
...
When the attention of the people around him was focused on him, Lu Xin silently glanced at his mother in the rearview mirror.
"Go to the road on the left."
Mom sat elegantly in the back seat with a gentle smile on her face.
She pointed the way softly, seeming very confident.
Facing the doubtful look from Lu Xin in the rearview mirror, she kept her delicate smile on her face and explained softly:
"Since you are going to visit a guest, how can you not even know where the guest is?"
Then, her smile became more charming: "When one of them wanted to see you, I also saw him."
"..."
Lu Xin felt relieved, nodded gently, and put down the information handed over by the investigation team.
He took out a small notebook hidden in his left chest pocket, slowly turned to a page, and while avoiding the gaze of the gecko, turned to the page marked with the word "mom", and then wrote on it: "Can you track the people you have seen...?"
Then he put the notebook back, and the gecko said calmly: "Go to the path on the left."
The gecko's eyes were a little strange.
Xiaoxin glanced at Lu Xin and said, "Brother, do you know how to track and investigate?"
"I don't know."
Lu Xin answered honestly, then looked in the rearview mirror and said softly, "But I have family to help me."
In the back seat, a happy expression slowly appeared on my mother's face.
